The current CSD's are XR05015 for 1.3 SE and WR05015 for 1.3EE.  I think 
these are the first general CSD's for 1.3.  They should bring the 
install up to the 1.3.1 level, which is what IBM are currently shipping 
for new orders.  
 
They were just released in the past couple of weeks, so you may have some 
trouble getting them, even direct from IBM.  In Canada, I couldn't order
the SE one when I tried two weeks ago, but the order was accepted today without
any problem.  
 
How do you get it?  If you are an IBM corporate customer, contact your 
IBM customer service representative and ask for it by number.  Or, if you
have access to IBMLink, you can order it there (which is what I just did). 
 
If you are not a corporate customer, your friendly full-service IBM Dealer 
is supposed to fill the same role as the CSR.
You may have to be VERY persistant to find an IBM dealer who knows what a CSD
is and is willing to order it for you.  Ask for a manager, and remind him/her
that their agreement with IBM *requires* them to provide you with this 
service. 

The above CSD's can also be downloaded from the new IBMOS2 forum on 
Compuserve.  But at something like 8megabytes, it will cost a fortune
in connect time.  They may also be available on the IBM BBS in Atlanta,
though they weren't the last time I heard.
