Subject: Run IPX/SPX and TCP/IP at the same time ?
Organization: Techn. University of Berlin, Germany
Date: Wed, 18 Nov 1992 19:35:47 GMT

Hi,

is it possible to run TCP/IP and IPX/SPX on OS/2 1.3 as well as on
OS/2 2.x at the same time ?

I want to connect an OS/2 machine running 1.3 to a Netware server and I
want to run TCP/IP and NFS, too. Which device drivers do I need for that
setup ?


Thanks for any info, Ernst.

I am having a little problem with full screen graphics.  I installed the
vga800-1.zip driver from hobbes and it worked fine but it odsen't have
seamless mode which I need so I went back to my old driver.  Ever since 
then if I go to dos full screen and bring up vpic it goes into full screen
vga fine but then if I leave vpic and then later try to use it again it
says that I need an ega card with at least 128k and it aborts vpic.
The only way to use a graphics program again is to reboot.  I tried
"svga on" once after I used vpic once and it locked up the whole system.
I have a paradise 1024 with 512k running on a 386-33 with 8 meg.  Anybody
have any idea what might be going on?

I know little about this bug other than many users on CompuServe are
complaining applications that worked before stopped. It appears the
problems are related to the Service Pack not handling paths > 32

Date: 17 Nov 92 13:03:20 CST
Organization: University of Kansas Academic Computing Services

Hello netters, 

A while back, I heard something about dynamic timeslicing.  I also read
about it in The Design of OS/2.  I have a faint memory fragment of 
reading in The Design of OS/2 that you have to put a statement in your
config.sys to turn on dynamic timeslicing.  I no longer have the book
so I can't look it up.  Does anyone know if dynamic timeslicing is 
used by default or if it has to be turned on.  Does it increase 
multitasking performance?

Thanks,

(1) Rename STARTUP.CMD to STARTUP.BAK.
(2) Create a program object called TCP/IP Startup.  Have that program
object run \TCPIP\BIN\TCPSTART.CMD.
(3) Drag a shadow of this TCP/IP Startup program object to your
Startup folder.
(4) Change the START lines in your TCPSTART.CMD file to START /MIN ...

That should get you started.

The Sound Blaster MMPM/2 drivers have a readme file that tells you how to
install the drivers for use with MMPM/2. The whole install took me about 5-10

There's a PM app called ArchiveViewer (version 1.33) which implements
a PM front end (at least for viewing, I think).  It is available via
anonymous ftp from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.  Now, before I get deluged with
mail ("I can't find it!") look in /pub/uploads (and its
subdirectories) and check the list /pub/os2/00Index.  If you check
both places, you'll find anything on ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.  If it isn't
there, it soon will be, so check back in a week or two.

I'm glad someone else is thinking about writing attractive front ends
to the more popular applications, like Zip and Zoo.  I was thinking of
writing one for the recent GhostScript 2.5.2 Version 1.1 port to OS/2.

While I'm at it, would anyone care to volunteer to write some clever
REXX code which implements a command line COPY that supports long
filenames to floppies (using the extended attributes technique
employed by a copy using the drive objects)?  Bonus points for
implementing a DIR which will display all the long filenames on a
floppy.  Should be some reasonably trivial REXX code.  But do make it
compatible with the Workplace Shell's method.

Hi everyone,

I was poking around Hobbes when I saw a file in the /pub/os2/all
tree called com16550.zip.

I downloaded it, unzipped it, and decided to stick it in my config.sys
folder.  I noticed, however, that this file was created in 1991 meaning
pre 2.0.  Has anyone had any trouble with this driver and OS/2 2.0?

Has anyone had to remove the driver?  Or does everyone with a 16550
use this?

Thanks for any info,

Subject: OS/2 loses sync after going to fullscreen mode
Date: 23 Nov 92 04:25:21 GMT
Organization: The University of Texas at Austin, Austin TX


I used to have a Northgate 386/20 motherboard with Zymos SVGA circuitry
built on the motherboard. Now I have a shiny new 486/50 motherboard,
and I got a Cardinal 700 1M (ET-4000) SVGA card to go with it.
This runs my NEC Multisync 2A (variable-frequency) monitor. 

My problem is that somehow, OS/2 is confusing my video card. When 
I first go into either a DOS or OS/2 fullscreen session, the monitor
loses sync. When I return to the WPS, sync is not restored. (But until
I go into a full screen session, everything is fine.)

I can run 'vmode' blindly, but nothing I do seems to work. Furthermore,
when I do a shutdown / C-A-D (also blindly), and boot raw DOS, the 
monitor is still confused. Vmode does no good here, either. Only a 
reset-button or bws fixes the problem.

I haven't run svga, and my config.sys has no mention of Svga. I have
also run selective install, to just as little avail. So it can't be 
the need for a new VSVGA.SYS mentioned in the os2tnt.doc. 

I have read the FAQ and the README, but nothing seems to apply to 
my situation.

Thanks....

Hi.  
I'm new to OS/2 and i want to install the os/2 Pre-Release. 
Before installing, i have a few questions:

a. Do I have to format the hard-disk first?  
   I heard that i can just make partitions in the HD instead. Does that
   work also with C and D drivers? I meen- can I install the os/2 system
   on the C drive and skip the formatting of the D drive?
b. If I have to reformat any of the disks- should i format it to HPFS or
   to FAT? I know that HPFS is better but will it work with DOS
   applications (even languages like BC++)?
c.Does the install program take care of everything? I meen- do I have to
   install later the WINOS2 3.1 parts (for example) or is it done a
   automatically?
d. Can OS/2 handle TSR's? I have to have one for the FAX/Voice Mail card
   (Complete Communicator for Windows) but i understand that TSR's work
   only in DOS sessions. Is that right?
e. Will my Pro Audio Spectrum 16 card work with OS/2, or do I have to get
   an extention or something?

Thanks in advance.

	Sort of.  I understand that I can boot, see, the hard disk, and
	fix it with CHKDSK using the installation disks.  The eventual
	goal is to boot with a pair of floppies that load Novell drivers
	and a CMD script that will rebuild parts of the drive as needed.
	Given past experience, we are expecting a high enough number of
	these cases that we'd like to make the process as automatic as

Yes. The view-command. Install a standard postscript printer, make it print
to a file instead of to a port. From "view" print the whole thing to the
postscript printer. Quite neat. Hopefully you have a fairly large harddisk.

I have successfully loaded and run OS/2 on the following:

	Micronics 386DX-16/387 with 2 M 32-bit RAM and 6M on a Bocaboard

	AMI bios (don't know the board) 486DX-33 with 16 M 32-bit RAM

	AMI bios (don't know the board) 386SX-16 with 8 M 16-bit RAM

And the only trouble with hardware I ever had was with a 65MB Seagate
RLL drive that didn't play well with the origiaal GA code, but which is
fine using either the .ADD CSD or the Beta code (32-bit drivers and WINOS231).

I currently have one OS/2 system running MFM and one running RLL -- as soon
as I get some money I'll get a big IDE.

However, I am running straight VGA (Oak and ATI Wonder) cards and don't
have any other fancy stuff (yet -- about to try to get FTP working)

Cheers!

Actually, Question Two, I think, is addressed in the FAQ List.  It
isn't the most convenient method, but it does work (and the FAQ List

Sure.  You need Book Reader/2 from the CD-ROM, of course.  Use the
install script/menu provided to install the .BOO documentation, and
you should get BR/2 along with it.

Subject: Changing from 5.25 to 3.5" A disk after loading OS/2
Organization: Cornell-Materials-Science-Center

I originally installed OS/2 on one machine with 5.25" diskettes.
Since then, I've learned the error of my ways and everything is
being done from 3.5" diskettes (switching cables so the drives
are swapped).  Now, I have a problem.  When I do a selective
install, it prompts for disks #'s based on the original
installation from 5.25" (7-18).  But the 3.5" distribution has
the same files on disks 6-15.  Is there a way to tell OS/2 that
we are now loading from 3.5" disks?  The obvious workaround is
to reload the original OS from 3.5" disks, reload the CSD, and
then do the selective install.  Not an appealing option.

(Why not just switch cables again for the selective install?
 I'm trying to load the new 1024x768 drivers - requires both
 the original distribution and the CSD - don't have 5.25" CSD.)

This might make a good FAQ answer.
