The Graham Utilities for OS/2 - Version 2
=========================================
The Graham Utilities for OS/2 are the largest, most comprehensive suite of
disk, file and general utilities specifically written for the OS/2 operating
system. The suite consists of 76 separate programs and modules. The manual has
been re-edited and expanded to 423 pages. The complete printed manual is also
included on-line as an .INF file for easy access. The CD-ROM version also
includes the documentation in Adobe Acrobat, PostScript and HTML versions.
Designed to be a drop in replacement for The Norton Utilities for DOS, these
utilities come second to none in ease of use, reliability and features.

by an independent laboratory to conform with all OS/2 testing procedures.
