(4.6) Corrective Service Diskettes

What are CSDs, how do I tell which I have, and where do I get them?

CSDs are Corrective Service Diskettes, or bug fixes (Service Paks), 
periodically issued by IBM.  The OS/2 CSD level number may be obtained 
using the command SYSLEVEL from an OS/2 command line prompt.  CSDs are 
cumulative, i.e. only the most recent CSD is required to bring a system up 
from any previous CSD level.  However, CSDs only apply within a major 
version number.  For example, an upgrade, not a CSD, would bring OS/2 
Version 2.0 up to Version 2.1.  Note also that each national language 
(e.g. French, U.K. English) uses a distinct CSD.

CSDs may be ordered by phoning 800-494-3044.  Customers with IBM customer 
numbers (usually large sites) should order through IBMLink.  Outside the 
United States, ask an authorized IBM dealer or representative for the CSD. 
 CSDs may also be downloaded from the IBM PC Co. BBS (modem 919-517-0001), 
CompuServe (FIND OS/2), or from (3.2) Shareware and Freeware Sources.  And 
CSDs may be ordered through IBM's OS/2 BBS.

The latest, current OS/2 2.1 CSD level will be listed in this List and in 
the PS Assistant files.  {{ The latest Service Pak for OS/2 2.1 is Level 
XR06200. }}  A second Service Pak, Level XR06100, has been released for 
OS/2 2.0.
