This disk contained a pre-1.0 version of OS/2 built on January 7, 1987, which was based on an interim
source code fork known as "SIZZLE", the code-name for a collection of changes intended to improve overall
OS/2 performance. An internal specification known as "The London Performance Spec" drove some of this work,
but neither the contents of that specification nor the details of any SIZZLE changes are known at this point.

Below is an original [FOOTBALL Design Document](#football-design-document) describing the **FOOTBALL** prototype.
Most of the work on this prototype occurred between December 1, 1986 and February 28, 1987, with the principal goal
of demonstrating multiple DOS applications running in V86-mode to BillG; that demo probably occurred in March 1987.
