I have seen several posts from people seeing a SYS3176 error and
last night it happened to me when I attempted to run Borland C++ 3.0
for the first time under OS/2. The fix for my problem was to set
DPMI_DOS_API to ENABLED, not Auto, in the DOS Settings...
The help sys3176 command did not provide any clue that dpmi_dos_api
needed to be ENABLED. My clue came from looking at the settings setup for
Paradox 4.0. I remembered seeing something about this setting having to
be enabled for some programs in some of the posts on the net.

	Thanks for response. That is when I have principally noticed it also.
Also, the "DOS from Drive A:" shell never successfully runs. At times
I can successfully run a DIR command at the A> prompt but then the
shell is hung, responding to no command. I have to CTRL-ESC back to
the list of tasks where I have always been able then to kill the hung
shell.
	Frustrating...

No changes are needed to GNUS to make it work with OS/2, when using a
local news spool.  I'm pretty sure NNTP wouldn't work though; is this

No.

Or, at the very least, don't expect one.  Presumably you received your
beta copy by calling a 1-800 number.  They sent you 29 high density
diskettes at no charge.  If so, don't expect anything else.

This post reminds me of a particular crash I've been having recently.
I've been running Origin's Martian Dreams game, which would
occasionally die, and sometimes take OS/2 with it.  It just occurred
to me that this could be due to the presence of the SBOS2 driver (the
only non-IBM one in my system right now).  Since Martian Dreams uses
the SB for sound (but only the synth channels as far as I know), this
could be the cause of the problem.  Does this make sense?

That's not really correct.  See the FAQ List for information on this
problem.  (Hint: use SET DIRCMD in CONFIG.SYS for OS/2's DIR and
DOSKEY for DOS's DIR.)

In a word, no.  At least I haven't figured out how to do it yet, nor
have I heard of anyone who has.

Why not move the swap file to the user partition?  The location of the
swap file is controlled by the SWAPPATH statement in CONFIG.SYS.
Ditto for the print spool files -- use the OS/2 System -> System Setup
-> Spooler object to control their location.  That should free up some
space.  After you've modified SWAPPATH, Shutdown and reboot.  Then, if
it still exists, delete the SWAPPER.DAT file on the old partition.

Reply-To: pynq@midway.uchicago.edu
Organization: D. J. Dougherty & Associates
Date: Sun, 15 Nov 1992 17:15:15 GMT

This is what we did:
	1) We had been running DOS 3.31 on an 80 meg Plus Hardcard.
	   We decided to give OS/2 a shot.
	2) We bought a 200 meg IDE drive, and installed it in the
	   machine, removing the hard card in the process.
	   We did this because we wanted to protect the data on the hard
	   card.  We were worried that the OS/2 installation might screw
	   it up - better safe than sorry.
	3) Installed OS/2 on the new drive.  This was (relatively) painless.
	4) After playing with OS/2 for a bit, we decided to try to get
	   the data off the hardcard, so we re-installed the hardcard,
	   and re-booted OS/2.  No luck.  Varying types of error
	   message, but, in particular, OS/2's FDISK did not recognize
	   the presence of a second drive.
	5) Calls to IBM tech support produced only "It should work",
	   along with suggestions to try a few different drivers (from the
	   OS/2 distribution)  However, nothing helped.  I even asked
	   the IBM guy whether there was any procedure to "register" the
	   new drive with OS/2.  I indicated that I was used to DOS,
	   where all you had to do was put the disk in and voila!
	   (I.e., you did the hardware install, and the BIOS/DOS figured
	   it out automatically)  He indicated that it "should" work the
	   same with OS/2.
	6) After several days of no luck, we decided to trash it all and
	   start over.  This time, we did the (fresh) install with the
	   hardcard installed.  Lo & behold, this time, FDISK recognized
	   the second drive.  This makes me think that OS/2 must
	   preserve some kind of "state" information on disk between
	   boots that tells it how many disk you have.
	7) I think we may have been able to fix this by doing "Selective
	   Install", but I did not get a chance to investigate that.

So, is there a straightforward way to add another disk to an installed
copy of OS/2, or do you have to re-install?  (As I said, IBM was no help)

This one might be headed for the FAQ List (if it isn't there already).
Good question, easy (relatively) answer (I think).

Go back to the Window List (after you've opened a settings notebook).
Click on the name of the settings notebook with mouse button two.
Select Cascade.  Repeat as necessary for any other settings notebooks
in the Window List (or highlight and Cascade all at once).

Like most others, I can't stand waiting for seamless WIN-OS2 to start
up an application.  So I tried the following with much success:

Migrate the WIN-OS2 program manager (C:\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\PROGMAN.EXE)
to a WPS icon.  Run it.  Program manager pops up.  From there, you can
launch Windows apps seamlessly and they load quickly, since WIN-OS2
never terminates.  Program Manager can be minimized (as always) if you
want to get it off the screen.

I didn't expect this to work for some reason, but it does.

It should be there.  Try an Arrange on OS/2 System -> System Setup.
If that doesn't reveal it, try using WPSTools (or a REXX script that

I purchased Creative Labs multi-media package and everything has installed correctly,
however I can't get the MSCDEX.EXE to load because of it saying 'Incorrect DOS version'.
I have played around with the DOS_VERSION, but I seem to not be able to find the lucky
parameter. I'm hoping somebody already has figured this lucky combonation.
Also, can somebody explain the parameters in DOS_VERSION settings, even the red books
are a little shy on describing them.
							Thanks
