The IBM PC Assistant (formerly IBM PS Assistant) may be released to IBM
customers and Business Partners.  It contains only unclassified
material.

These .INF files may be read with the built-in viewer included with
OS/2 2.0 or later, IBM AIX, and IBM DOS 7.  The optional XVIEW viewer
may be used with Windows 3.1.  (Other viewers, for Windows 95 and
Windows NT will also work, when available.)

Note:  Due to the 16-bit nature of the DOS 7 and Windows 3.1 viewers,
the Marketing and OS Assistant files will not be readable with these
viewers, due to their size.
