OS/2 is the disk operating system, i.e. the text-based command prompt; 
the Presentation Manager is the GUI.  This is completely analogous to DOS
7.0 as the disk operating system and Win95 as the GUI.  Sure, you can't
have Win95 without DOS 7.0, but you can't have the OS/2 Presentation
Manager without the underlying OS/2 disk operating system either.
