This is the Abiliba Network Services mail server on mail.abiliba.net.

The attached message contains internal formatting errors. These errors 
are often caused by e-mail viruses and spam. It may also be due to a 
in the sender's e-mail software.

Instead of blocking the message, it has been converted to a safe, 
text-only attachment.

Although these formatting errors may often be ignored by other mail 
servers, this server detects and intercepts improperly-coded messages in 
order to prevent viruses and spam from taking advantage of bugs in 
e-mail programs.

The specific error follows:

The toolkit is everything, besides a compiler, needed to create OS/2
programs. eg Headers, libraries and various other stuff.
It comes with eCS and IIRC the convenience packages. It used to be
harder to get.

The latest is version 4.5 (os2tk4.5). Older versions will work but will
be missing the latest functionality like large file support, high
memory support, and a couple of other things that the newer versions of
OS/2 support. Perhaps bug fixes as well.
