OVERVIEW   OS/2 WARP VERSION 3 (OS/2 WARP)
           OS/2 Warp Version 3 is the follow-on release to OS/2 Version 2.1 and
           OS/2  for Windows.  It represents IBM's continuing effort to enhance
           this award winning operating system to appeal to a much broader
           segment of the personal computer environment.  OS/2 Warp Version 3
           has simplified installation, enhanced usability, a refined user
           interface, improved "fit and finish" and is performance tuned to run
           on entry memory systems.  In addition, new hardware support is
           included for mobile computers, CD-ROM drives, SCSI adapters,
           printers, audio devices and video accelerators.  A BonusPak for
           OS/2 with a set of productivity applications and online connection
           software is included with OS/2 Warp Version 3 so you can use your
           system immediately after installation.  All of these features make
           OS/2 Warp Version 3 ideally suited to home, home office and mobile
           users, while maintaining value to corporate customers.
                  OS/2 Warp Version 3 is released in two editions:
           o   OS/2 Warp Version 3
           o   OS/2 Warp Version 3 with WinOS2
                  OS/2 Warp Version 3 is the replacement for OS/2 for Windows.
           OS/2 Warp Version 3 with WinOS2 is the replacement for
           OS/2 Version 2.1.  OS/2 Warp Version 3 when installed over an
           existing Windows 3.1 or it's updates, Windows for Workgroups 3.1 or
           Windows for Workgroups 3.11 will work with the Windows code enabling
           the system to run OS/2, DOS and Windows application programs
           simultaneously and seamlessly on the same display.  OS/2 Warp
           Version 3 when installed on a system without Windows will run
           OS/2 and DOS programs.  OS/2 Warp Version 3 with WinOS2 ships with
           all the support necessary to run OS/2, DOS and Windows programs
without Windows previously installed. Windows for Workgroups 3.1 and 
           Windows for Workgroups 3.11 networking function is not supported.
           USABILITY ENHANCEMENTS
           The new LAUNCHPAD is a customizable tool bar on the desktop that
           allows access to any object on the system with a single mouse click.
           The LaunchPad can be in either vertical or horizontal orientation or
           be set to float to the top of the desktop.  The LaunchPad is added
           automatically on install and can use either regular sized icons or
           the new mini color icons.  The user can add their most frequently
           used objects to the LaunchPad, including folders, printers, or any
           object on the system and access them or switch between open objects
           with a single mouse click.
A tutorial takes the user through an introduction to OS/2 Warp 
           Version 3 and how to work with objects.  It shows how to move, copy,
           create shadows and how to work with printers.  It also explains how
           to set up OS/2, DOS and Windows applications.  Each subject covered
           in the tutorial has three levels of tips, one for the DOS user, one
           for Windows users and one for the expert OS/2 user.  The tutorial is
           in graphic design and has a very useful index and graphical help
           facility.
                  The WorkPlace shell is enhanced with a new look.  All of the
           icons are redesigned in three dimensional color.  Many of the icons
           are animated, for instance an icon of a folder changes to an open
           folder when opened and back to a closed folder when closed.  The
           default color palette is 16 solid colors, with a 256 color palette
           available for systems with SVGA capability.
           INSTALLATION ENHANCEMENTS
           OS/2 Warp Version 3 simplifies installation for most users.  A new
           Easy-Install will install OS/2 Warp Version 3 in a configuration
           suitable for most personal computers without asking the user
           additional questions.  An advanced install option helps experienced
           users customize their systems.  When installed over an existing DOS
           system, Dual Boot is automatically installed without requiring the
           user to modify the DOS config.sys file and re-boot.  The appropriate
           command lines are added automatically without a caution message.
           Installation time is reduced significantly for diskette and CD-ROM
           media.  The number of OS/2 diskettes are reduced through
           state-of-the-art compression and extended Density Format technology
           (XDF).  XDF allows 1.86MB to be put on media that previously
           contained 1.44MB to reduce the number of diskettes to be loaded.
                  OS/2 Warp Version 3 provides remote, unattended installation,
configuration, and distribution (CID). Multimedia is CID enabled but 
requires an "MINSTALL" to activate it. The accompanying BonusPak for 
           OS/2 is not CID enabled.
Multimedia is integrated into OS/2 Warp Version 3 and installs 
           automatically when the appropriate system hardware is detected,
           eliminating a separate installation process.  The enhanced hardware
           detection also simplifies installation of many system device drivers
           for displays, hard disks, SCSI devices, CD-ROM drives and PCMCIA
           cards.  Multiple printers can be installed during the initial
           installation significantly simplifying the process for those
           customers with multiple printers.  DOS application program migration
           into OS/2 is expanded by the addition of more than 300 popular DOS
           applications to the migration data base.  This allows OS/2 V3 to
           automatically configure their DOS settings to be tuned for optimum
           performance running simultaneously and seamlessly with other
           applications.  The numeric error codes previously displayed when
           OS/2 install encountered a problem are replaced in most cases by an
informational message to direct the user to the cause of the problem. 
           PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENTS
           OS/2 Version 3 is extensively reprogrammed and tuned to operate more
           responsively in any system memory configuration but particularly on
           4MB entry level personal computers.  PM-WIN, the desktop window
           management system, is now available in 32-bit code to make front of
           screen response significantly better.  The Workplace Shell is
           enhanced to open objects faster, populate folders faster and load
           applications faster.  The system is page tuned to ensure that the
           most frequently used pages are in memory when needed, reducing the
           amount of swapping to the hard disk.  There is an option in the
           WinOS2 setup folder called Fast Load that basically preloads and
starts a Windows virtual machine so that Windows application programs 
           load very quickly.
           ENHANCED SUPPORT FOR DISPLAYS
The OS/2 V3 package now includes 32-bit device drivers supporting the 
           graphics accelerator chips found on leading personal systems and
           graphics adapters, such as Actix, Boca Research, Diamond, Number
           Nine, Orchid, and others.
                  IBM has added new device drivers for these chip sets, in
           addition to the IBM XGA (R), XGA-2, IBM 8514, and S3 86C801/805/928
           chips, already supported in OS/2 2.1x.
           o   Cirrus Logic CL-GD5426, -5428, -5430, -5434
           o   S3 86C864, 86C964
           o   Western Digital WD90C24, WD90C26, WD90C27, WD90C31, WD90C33,
               WD90C34
           o   ATI Mach 32, Mach 64
           o   Tseng ET4000/32, W32i, W32p
           o   Weitek Power9000, Power9100
                  These graphics display drivers provide users with accelerated
graphics and advanced color resolutions when operated in Presentation 
           Manager (R) and WinOS2 seamless and full-screen sessions.
           ENHANCED SUPPORT FOR CD-ROM DRIVES AND ADAPTERS:
           OS/2 Warp Version 3 now contains support for leading CD-ROM drives,
including proprietary, SCSI-based, and the new ATAPI-compliant CD-ROM 
           drives.  (AT (R) Packet Interface Version 2.1 is the industry
           initiative to standardize CD-ROM attachment to IDE controllers).
The new device drivers included in the OS/2 V3 package include

               consists of the following:
               -   UltiMail Lite:  An easy-to-use interface for creating,
                   sending, receiving and storing electronic mail.  It is a
                   simplified version of the standards-based, client/server
                   version of Ultimail for OS/2.  Because it supports the SMTP
                   and MIME standards for mail, images and binary attachments
                   (such as programs and files) can be included as part of a
                   mail item.
               -   Gopher Client:  A graphical, user friendly interface to the
                   Internet enabling the user to locate and display or transfer
                   information to or from the Internet.  The Internet consists
                   of more than 30 million computers; Gopher helps you navigate
                   comfortably and confidently among these systems.
- TelnetPM: Allows the user to login to other computers on the 
                   Internet.  Programs and information located on other
                   computers can be accessed as though they were on your own
                   computer.  Supports VT100 and VT220 emulation.
               -   PMANT:  An OS/2 Presentation Manager application that allows
                   access to information and programs located on Internet hosts
                   that support 3270 sessions such as VM or MVS, using TN3270
                   emulation.
               -   FTPPM:  An OS/2 Presentation Manager application that allows
                   you to easily share, store and distribute data between your
                   computer and other computers on the Internet.  If you are
                   authorized access to a given computer, you can manipulate
                   files on that computer as if it were your own.
o WEBEXPLORER BETA: The IBM WebExplorer beta software is available 
electronically via the IBM Internet Connection for OS/2. This is 
               prerelease software that users can easily download and use by
simply clicking on an icon on the Gopher Server or IBM Home Page. 
               With WebExplorer, users can access the World Wide Web (WWW)
               through a graphical user interface.  The WWW links resources
               together in an easy-to-use fashion.  For example, a user can get
               a map of a country, click on a city to retrieve local
               information, see photographs, and read about current
               demographics.  With WebExplorer, users traverse the Internet by
               moving from one document to another via links or hyperlinks, and
               can save and annotate documents.  The general availability level
               of the WebExplorer is planned to be available electronically in
               December 1994.
o COMPUSERVE INFORMATION MANAGER FOR OS/2: Developed by CompuServe 
for OS/2 Version 3, this program helps you get the most from your 
               CompuServe membership.  An object-oriented user interface allows
               you to access, sort and utilize the online information and
               services quickly and easily.  There is a simple sign-up icon, if
               you are not currently registered with CompuServe but would like
               to try the service.
           o   IBM PERSON TO PERSON FOR OS/2:  Allows people to work together
without actually being together, with their personal computer and 
               a data link.  This link can be established over modems, LANs,
               ISDN or the Internet.  Data to be worked on is placed into the
               shared clipboard and can be modified in real time.  All parties
               see the same data at the same time.  Other functions allow
               sending data and the ability to carry on a keyboard dialog.
o MULTIMEDIA VIEWER: An object-oriented tool that enables users to 
               organize, manage and play multimedia image, audio and video
               files.  Miniature picture views (thumbnails) of files make it
               easy to identify, organize and select multimedia data.  Media
               browsers will display or play a file by double-clicking on the
               thumbnail frame.
           o   VIDEO IN FOR OS/2:  Enables users to capture digital video and
               compress the data into files on their hardfile.  Both IBM
               Ultimotion (TM) and Indeo AVI format are supported.  The stored
               video files can then be played back on and OS/2 V3 system.
