Hello Jonathan--

    You have been had by part number changes .  The most recent
version of the IBM "Online Library OS/2 Collection" I have is dated
January 1996 and consists of two CD-ROMs.  Part number SK2T-2176-05.  I
ordered mine from IBM Publications, (1-800-879-2755 in the US).  As I
remember, the price was $100 (US) plus sales tax.  This version includes
the updates for Warp, rather than the original "OS/2 2.0 Technical
Library" volumes.  One thing that has been lost in translation is the
manual "Procedures Language 2/REXX Reference."  Perhaps this is because
that manual has never been updated for Warp.

    Regards,

          --Murray
