       IBM VisualAge COBOL Enterprise for OS/2 V2.2 Readme
       ------------------------------------------------

Welcome to IBM VisualAge COBOL Enterprise.

Much of the information has changed since previous releases of
VisualAge COBOL. For instance, we now provide an INSTALL.TXT file
on the CD-ROM, which contains virtually all the information you will
need to install the product.

The information notebook, which is installed with the information
component, now includes product highlight information - "What's New",
a migration section for migrating from previous VisualAge COBOL
offerings, and a trouble-shooting section for help in identifying
and working around potential problems.  It also includes online
tutorials and other online documentation.

VisualAge COBOL manuals are provided in Adobe Acrobat PDF form in the
\PDF directory on the CDROM.   You can print from the PDF files using
either Adobe Acrobat Reader or Ghostview.  The Adobe Acrobat Reader is
provided in the PDF directory or you can download it from the Adobe web
site.  You can download Ghostview from the web at:
http://www.cs.wics.edu/~ghost/index.html

Viewing some information provided with this release requires an HTML
browser.  Netscape Navigator 2.02 dated 27 March 1997 is provided on the
VisualAge COBOL CDROM in the \NETSCAPE directory.  If you don't have a
brower, or if your browser predates this version, install the copy from
the CD.

Thank you for choosing VisualAge COBOL Enterprise. If you have any
questions, comments, or need assistance, the Getting Started manual
has a list of phone numbers and addresses that will guide you to
the appropriate department.
