From the OS2BBS:
Response to Boston Globe:
AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 26, 1994 ...A story in today's Boston Globe on
IBM's OS/2 Warp inaccurately implied that a bug found during
manufacturing would significantly delay availability of the product in
retail outlets. During ongoing quality control checks, a minor
installation problem was discovered and fixed during the manufacturing
process, before volume shipments of the product began. This minor
fix caused minimal interruption to the manufacturing process and
OS/2 Warp will be initially available next week as planned, with
wide availability by November 4. IBM is confident that customers will
be delighted with the overall quality, performance and impressive new
features in the new release of OS/2, IBM's award-winning 32-bit
operating system.
----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Big headline in the business section of the Boston Globe today: IBM has
withdrawn Warp from production because of install problems. One possibility
is that existence of a CONFIG.BAK file confuses the install, but there may be
other causes as well.
