Subject: Minimizing Icons in Beta (bug?)
Organization: California State University Sacramento
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 1992 10:10:53 GMT

I like to have my icons minimized to the desktop.  However, if I go into the
settings of an object and set it to do that, and the object is open, the 
change doesn't take effect, even if the object is closed and reopened.  The
change must be made when the object is closed.  I don't remember this problem
with the GA version.

Also, is there a way to change the default clipboard size?  I occasionally get
an error indicating that the clipboard is to small to handle the amount that
I'm trying to cut.  Thanks much.

Subject: Shrinking OS/2 partition
Followup-To: poster
Organization: Purdue University
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 1992 14:50:02 GMT

I would like to know if it is possible to reduce the OS/2 format partition
size and give more to DOS.  I have a 200 meg hard drive with OS/2, but made
the mistake of letting the dealer install the software.  The drive has been
partitioned into a 170 meg OS/2 format (HDFS?) and a 30 meg FAT partition.
While the HDFS(?) format is supposed to be faster and allow longer names,
some software will not work in the OS/2 partition, and the FAT partition
can be STACKed while the OS/2 partition cannot.  I would appreciate any
information about whether or not OS/2 can give up some of its partition to
FAT format without complete reformatting and partitioning of the drive.

Thanks-

I doubt it will.  IBM told OS/2 2.0 beta testers to reformat before every
new beta installation, and espescially before installing the GA release.

I'm sure that they will tell the beta "testers"(testers in quotes because I'm
sure a large number of people have just gotten the beta to see what it is,
and have reported no problems to IBM)

Anyways, I'm sure IBM will tell the beta testers to reformat their hd's,
and then install OS/2 2.0 GA & then the Service Pack.

I've heard this term, "thunking," used at least a couple of times in the

thunking is/does.
Plus, I'm curious if it's a bad or smart way to do whatever it does.

So, essentially, what is thunking and does it have merits?

As you can see, the new kernel causes PMV2001 (Insufficient Memory to
Continue . . .) errors when running seamless (Win-OS/2) Windows.  You
have three choices:

	1)	[C:\] attrib -h -s -r os2krnl
		[C:\] rename os2krnl os2krnl.new
		[C:\] rename os2krnl.old os2krnl
		[C:\] attrib +h +s +r os2krnl

		and reboot . . .

	2)	Get DINFO from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.
		Pop it in your Startup folder so it's always running.

		(It is rumoured that DINFO has a positive effect on the
		swapfile when operating under the new kernel.)

	3)	Wait for the Service Pack and don't run any seamless
		Win-OS/2 windows in the meantime.

Good luck!

Does anyone know if this will work??  I am looking for an affordable

Date: Sat, 26 Sep 1992 04:36:04 GMT

Thanks again to all those who answered my query about Simulab, look's
like I'll have to wait until something comes out for OS2.

Now I have a problem with installing a printer driver.  At home I use an NEC
printer.  That's okay, I'll just install the Epson one (hopefully it'll work).
I have access to an Apple Laser printer at uni so I thought I'll install that
one also and just use it to print to a file, take the file to uni and print it
out.  Unfortunately I have the 3 1/2" installation disks and my 3 1/2" drive
is my drive B.  The reason this is a pain is that I need to install the win-os
driver.  After I install the OS2 driver (I can specify which drive the driver
is on) I need to insert another disk for the win-os driver, but it doesn't
look at drive b also, it just looks at the a drive?!?!  Thus I cannot install
the win-os laser printer driver and hence I can't use quality fonts on my
Word2.0.  Is there any way around this?  I really need to get this up and
running as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance for _any_ help.

Look in your win.ini and system.ini files for a line that has !ddeagent
and !clipwos2 and delete it. These are programs that Win-OS2 uses to 
communicate with OS2, but were not included in the Beta for some reason.

Huh?  You put OS/2 on one primary, and DOS on another?  DOS FDISK won't let
you do that unless you hide the OS/2 partition.

If you install BOOT MANAGER (using OS/2's FDISK) you can put DOS on C: and
OS/2 on a logical drive.  If you want both DOS and OS/2 on C:, you must
install DOS first, then OS/2 (he'll see DOS, and take care of setting up
DUAL-BOOT automatically).  I *do not* recommend DUAL-BOOT, so think about
installing BOOT MANAGER.

I succeeded getting rid of an undeletable object by:

1. Moving it onto A:\ by:

   a) Selecting it

   b) Selecting Move... from it's menu

   c) Selecting the Path (not drive) tab

   d) Entering A:\ (or just A: -- I can't remember)

2. Moving it to a subdirectory on A: the same way as above

3. Deleting that directory (I don't remember which way)

Then it was gone which I verified by a Search.
I think I also reformatted the disk and verified
that there weren't any EAs left.

Isn't this still IN the setup/install of GA and the beta?  I believe you have 
to pull down one of the menus to get to it.  I think I ran into it when I
looked at the install a little closer...  I believe it was at the screen where 
it shows the mouse, video etc that it has chosen and lets you select a

I'm about to purchase a 486 on which to run OS/2 (EISA, 16MB, 256k
cache) and I'd be grateful for advice on whether to to with a 50MHz chip
(not the clock-doubled one) or the 66MHz DX2. Some considerations:

1. A multitasking OS will have lots of memory access outside the chip
(and probably outside the SRAM cache, as well). Thus, the 33MHz external
speed of the 66DX2 will give slower performance than the 50. I will not
be running real MSDOS at all, so my only criterion is where I get the
best performance in a multitasking, OS/2 environment.

2. On the other hand, for operations that don't access main memory, the
66 will obviously be faster, and there are sure to be plenty of these,
as well.

3. My dealer is charging $135 more for the 66 than the 50.

4. There has been occasional talk of a 100DX2. If this is likely, I
preserve an upgrade path by selecting the 50 now.

5. I've been told that the difference in performance may be measurable
in benchmark testing, but that it won't be perceptible to me. If so, it
would make sense to save the $135.

6. I realize that performance will depend on _specific_ configuration
and it's hard to predict what my average operation would be like. This
will be a single-user platform; I can imagine running three or four
large, multithreaded interactive applications (which would be largely
quiet when I was interacting with other applications), doing high-speed
file transfers, and perhaps formatting a few floppies on the side.

Suggestions welcome!

Thanks,

David
