Now to be fair - let's make that an accurate analogy - there isn't a step
mother here.  IBM has no relation to Hercules other than that the Hercules
card was made to fit into IBM's chasis.  I don't see anything wrong with
IBM's choice to only support their own products.  It might not be the nicest
not to have support for Hercules, but I wouldn't call it unfair.  Why should
IBM be responsible for supporting some other company?

But it's not IBM's card - why are you holding IBM responsible?

Actually, I'd like to turn this around and make it a strong point in IBM's
favor.  People have made posts wondering about IBM's long term support for
OS/2 given the other stuff happening in the marketplace and what not.  Take
this as an example.  Even at this point in time, IBM is making sure that
they do a best effort to support standard system components that they put
out (CGA/EGA) quite a while ago.

Just goes to show that once IBM puts official support behind something,
they're in it for the long haul.

The poster who said you should try it on an IBM PC must be fresh off the ark. 
That isn't necessary. 
 
BTW....when will Microsoft start making PC's? I hear MS is making a
proprietary sound card in the near future. Combined with the proprietary True

I'll fax them and attempt to get a non-800 number.  BTW, I am using PMFAX

Warning: Kai Uwe Rommel indicated that there are some problems with the 32-bit

in pub/downloads/Info-ZIP/ on ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.

The DOS only version has been replaced on garbo due to a different problem

comp.binaries.ibm.pc.archives. I have NOT done any real testing on this stuff.

Under Unix, you would simply make a couple of links to "uncompress" and "zcat".
Under OS/2, all you have to do is make a couple of copies of compress.exe and
rename them to uncompress.exe and zcat.exe.  Of course, "compress -d" or
"compress -dc" will work too.

I can only tell about the PostScript printer driver that came with Windows 3.0.
When set for some printers, including Apple LaserWriter Plus (or II,
I don't remember exactly) that driver inserts an EOT (end of transmission, 4)
control character before the '%!' that begins PostScript. When set for others,
including IBM Personal Pageprinter, it doesn't.

EOT seems to be a defined "end of job" character for PostScript printers.
So the behaviour of that driver to insert an EOT at the beginning of the data
could be to ensure that no invalid old data in the printer's memory mixes
with the new data. (Does one write "one" or "ones" when referring to words
such as "data" or "information"?) :-)

(I've set up the PostScript printer queue of this workstation so that it sends
 EOT when the queue empties, which can eliminate problems in the printer
 due to invalid earlier jobs leaving data in the printer's memory.)

I hope that helps.

Best wishes,

Horst

I've configured mine, as well.  I didn't find it hard.  Of course, I'm

OK, let's do it.

Since the last announcement, I have removed 2 bugs and implemented

enhancements, but that may last a while, so I will try to make
it available in the next days. There is only a small problem,
I don't have direct internet access. Perhaps email to the moderator

I've successfully defragmented FAT volumes on several occasions and never

all the hidden files (os/2 boot, kernel, etc on the boot drive; extended
attributes files; wp share files, etc), and ran Norton Utils' unfragmenter

August 10, 1992

Proportional Software Corporation today announced the DCF/2
Disk Compression Facility for IBM's'@ OS/2@ Version 2.0.

  In response to the needs of IBM OS/2 users, Proportional
Software has introduced the first dynamic disk compression
technology for OS/2 Version 2.0. The DCF/2, or Disk
Compression Facility/2 allows users to increase their local
physical disk storage without affecting applications software
or system behaviour.

  On-the-fly disk compression using the DCF/2 results in 35%
to 70% additional disk space, depending on the types of
information on the disk and the level of compression selected.
The Proportional Software DCF/2 uses native OS/2 file
structures to compress standard file information into less
physical space -- resulting in making a hard disk appear
bigger than it really is!

  DCF/2 compression compares favourably with the other
programs, like Stacker(TM), Superstor(TM), and Doubledisk(TM)
that do similiar disk compression for DOS.

  According to Fred Schmidt, Sales Vice President at
Proportional, the typical OS/2 user requires over 50 MB of
physical disk space for the OS/2 operating system, it's
swapfile, and basic utilities. Even though OS/2 includes both
a complete DOS and Windows environment, this still means that
there is a real crunch for space when a user upgrades from a
DOS or Windows environment. The DCF/2 offers a quick, easy,
and simple solution to this problem.

  Proportional Software is introducing the DCF/2 at $99.95
through December 31, 1992. The U. S. list price is $129.95.
We have a special price of $64.98 (50% of list for IBM
employees(for personal use, only) if they fax the order with a
copy of their IBM badge.

If you have Win3.1 installed, you can copy these files from \WINDOWS\SYSTEM to
\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM.  Usually, when you install Word 2.0 on OS/2, the
Word setup copies those files in the current Windows (or WINOS2) system
directory.  If you can't find these files on your harddisk, locate a DOS
program named DECOMP.EXE on one of your Word Install disks, and use it to
decompress the three files (SHELL.DLL, OLECLI/SVR.DLL) in your WINOS2
system directory.

Hi, I'm trying to download using softerm. Whenever I initiate a transfer,
I get an error pop-up that says I'm not connected. I assume that softerm is
checking DTR, which isn't wired in my cable. Can I tell softerm to ignore 
DTR and just do downloads, or do I have to make a new cable?

Thanks, Jay
