IBM PC DOS 7 in Five Hard Copy Diskettes, of which four(4) are formatted with IBM eXtended Density Format (XDF), which can only be read in floppy disk drives that are attached directly to the system by way of a floppy disk controller (FDC).
However, for users lacking the above physical hardware requirements, I will include an *equivalent* non-XDF IBM PC DOS 7 in Six 3.5" digital images (.img) suitable to be used in virtualization; or non-OEM hard copy diskettes for use with your USB-attached Floppy. Your choice.
Please do not make any assumptions otherwise. What you see in the pictures is what I will be shipping to you. Thank you.

1. Language Summary
The information provided in this handbook has been collected from multiple sources.It is intended to serve as a "keyboard-side" aid in the use of REXX under IBM's OS/2 2.x and OS/2 Warp Versions 3 and 4. Items introduced with Warp Version 4 (originally code named Merlin) are indicated by (V4). Items made obsolete by Warp Version 3 are indicated by (pre V3). Items available in Object REXX only are indicated by (OBJ).
A complete reference for OS/2 SAA REXX (referred to as Classic REXX) can be found in the OS/2 Information Folder and in the following IBM Publications: OS/2 Procedures Language 2/REXX Reference (IBM publication number S10G-6268) and OS/2 Procedures Language 2/REXX User's Guide (IBM publication number S10G-6269). Beginning with Warp Version 4, the online REXX reference (REXX.INF) pertains to the active REXX interpreter with the alternate .INF file being renamed. If Classic REXX is active, the \OS2\BOOK directory will contain REXX.INF and OREXX.INF. If Object REXX is active, \OS2\BOOK will contain CREXX.INF and REXX.INF.
Information for the use of the external REXX function packages included in this publication was obtained from the provider of the respective modules...
