You can't. It's opened deny-read.

Do a google search for DMTF.

For local information. OS/2 System -> Problem Determination -> DMI MIF
Browser -> Help.

I'm pretty sure it get rebuilt each reboot, but don't quote me.

>The online info for DMISL is pretty sparse -- you can "Search -> All
>Libraries" for DMTF and get a bit of info but nothing fully explanatory.

See above. :-)
