Wolfram Research, Inc. has started shipping the native OS/2 version of
Mathematica 2.2. While the current version of Mathematica for Microsoft
Windows runs under OS/2 in emulation mode, the new optimized OS/2 version
takes full advantage of OS/2's 32-bit environment and runs significantly
faster. Mathematica for OS/2 is fully-compatible with the latest release
of OS/2 Warp, Version 3 that IBM recently announced.

The OS/2 version of Mathematica includes a Presentation Manager interface
that features cut-and-paste editing and command history capabilities. It
will soon include support for MathLink, Mathematica's inter-application
communication protocol, which will allow OS/2 users to link Mathematica to
other applications via TCP/IP including connecting to the Mathematica
front end for Microsoft Windows. When MathLink support is completed, the
Mathematica front end for Windows will be made available free-of-charge to
customers who wish to utilize it.

Mathematica has been fully optimized for the OS/2 32-bit environment and
takes full advantage of the OS/2 preemptive scheduler and threading. This
results in an increase in speed, a more efficient handling of memory, and
the ability to run more than one process at a time.

The OS/2 32-bit flat memory gives Mathematica users direct access to nearly
a gigabyte of memory. Consequently, Mathematica users will now be able to
perform larger, more complex computations. Also, Mathematica users will
find that this version runs with less memory than it did, for example,
running under Microsoft Windows.
