MR> Some senseless babbling from Lee Aroner to All
  > on 10-19-99  20:33 about Version 2.x SysLevel ??...

 LA> Is there anyone out there with a copy of OS/2 2.x that's loaded 
 LA> on a machine? If so, could you tell me how IBM handled the 
 LA> SysLevel thing in that version?

 LA> I've written some code to get the syslevel out of the 
 LA> \OS2\INSTALL\SYSLEVEL.OS2 file for use in my programs, but I'm 
 LA> not sure how this was handled (or the file location) in versions 
 LA> prior to 3.0.

 LA> Can anyone help me out on this?

MR> Since the Warp 3 upgrade edition wouldn't install without it, I can

MR> The format of the file appears to be basically the same.  I'll let you

   Gat it and it is indeed the same format...now to find out which 
   version of 2.x had the DOS tine slicing broken...
