PM is the GUI for OS/2 and is automatically installed when you install OS/2.

OS/2 Standard Edition is just the OS/2 operating system.  OS/2 Extended Edition
is the OS/2 operating system plus Communications Manager, LAN Requester, and
Database Manager.  

With OS/2 2.0, Standard Edition and Extended Edition will be no more.  The
Communications Manager and DataBase Manager will be sold separate from the main
package and the LAN Requester will be bundled with IBM's LAN Server product.
