I guess this was a test? So you do have a (ok, a
bunch) of OS/2 licenses and you are looking for a
French version for 3 years. I stand corrected then
although I must have missed the previous post where
you said you had a licensed non-French version and are
looking to convert it to the French version.

You are right, I would be very illiterate in another
country as I only know one language, and you may very
well have more knowledge of OS/2 than I, so what is
your point? Now I will again wonder why if you
contacted IBM they would not help you convert to
another language,(oh yeah, IBM wants us to migrate to
another OS) or as another suggested, if possible to
fixpak one to French?

Also, since you got me searching, check out this IBM
web page:

http://www.developer.ibm.com/tech/faq/individual/0,,2%3A13854,00.html

Maybe it will help? It would be really cool if you
have it already.
I hope you can find what you are looking for.
Regards,

Franklin
