I think you'll find that Infozip's unzip50 and zip19 
will be able to handle OS/2 zipped files under
DOS, OS/2 and UNIX (and others, actually).  I have been using this
program successfully under all three of these operating systems.
I think I got the OS/2 and  DOS exe's at ftp-os2.nmsu.edu, and for
UNIX, I got the source from wuarchive.wustl.edu which I compiled with
no problems on a SUN4.

I have a PAS 16 sound card....

And have ordered the Texel 5024 (or is it 3024... whatever.. the 265ms
one..) CDROM unit...

Does the mediavision PAS-16 come with device drivers for this sucker? or
are they included in the SCSI cable kit.. which I also ordered..

Otherwise.. what driver can I use to use the CDROM under os/2 on the
PAS-16 SCSI interface???

When are these OS2 drivers coming out for the PAS-16...

And until then.. can I use the soudnblaster drivers?? PAS-16 can emulate
the SB... but can it fool the drivers? If so.. how?

: Well, there are a couple alternatives.  One is to use a device driver
: written by someone in the OS/2 user group in Britain.  It pauses
: CONFIG.SYS processing until you press ESC.

It's called cdd.zip and it's in pub/os2/all/drivers.  It only works if
OS/2 is installed on C:.  If it's on a different logical drive, use
cdd2.zip, which was in pub/uploads last night, but may have been moved
to pub/os2/all/drivers by now.

It's better than shiftrun in that you can also run chkdsk and install
replacement .dll files from it.

OS2ASPI.DMD is not required for version 2.0 of GTAR. The new driver
provided in that version (SCSITAPE.DMD) talks directly to the ADD. You
might want to try the original version of GTAR that was released; it
does use OS2ASPI.DMD. I have used this version on several different tape
drives without any problems.

Make the OS/2 partition to be logical (or is it extended? anyway the other

but as you can always see one primary partition that will be visible if 
OS/2 is moved to logical.

You need the program LOADDSKF to create diskettes from the image
files.  This program is available via anonymous ftp from either
software.watson.ibm.com or ftp-os2.nmsu.edu (in the latter case, check
the file /pub/os2/00Index for location).  This program will run under
either DOS or OS/2.

Find a shareware program  KLOCK2.ZIP  42K  9-02-92. It's a demo
for KEYLOCKS II v2.00D, I think.  You can find it on the OS/2 Shareware
BBS, 703 385-4325, no doubt.

It controls num lock, caps lock and scroll lock however you wish upon
boot-up.

This is being discussed in FIDO. It turns out to be a very polarized

Summary: Generic games comment

Just an anecdote to share with you folks.  In the dark days before
OS/2 2.0 I was running dos/windows on a 20MHz 386 and enjoyed a
game called "Life & Death II - The Brain".  Upon upgrading to a
33MHz 486 the game refused to run, crashing with a floating point
exception.  Oh well, to the shelf with it.  On an impulse this last
weekend, I tried it under OS/2 2.0 + SP and it ran!  Ok, there are
new things to learn to make these dos games run well under OS/2, but
this is the first I have heard of it fixing a problem like this!
I was rather impressed!  Now back to our regularly scheduled [sic]
programming.

This response means that (for some reason) the SVGA.EXE program does

Just a minor correction : AHA154X.ADD is NOT an ASPI driver for OS/2
2.0. The ADD driver follows IBM specification for adapter device
drivers.  If you want ASPI support you need to use OS2ASPI.DMD, which
currently supports OS/2 applications only.

the 11/92 CD-ROM:

1.) I'm unable to install the german keyboard driver. After configuring
the control panel for german purposes, the computer wanted to have #2
with 'updated' "kbdgr.dll". Well I found this file somewhere on the
seven discs (I think it was the fifth disc) but then I got the error:

              "File Error -- Cannot find 'kbdge.dll' "

 And the computer is quite right: there's no 'kbdge.dll' on any disc!

 The same thing happened with the stuff with the 10/92 CD-ROM.

2.) Try Control-Panel -> Desktop -> Screen Saver -> Name := 'Mystify',
press 'Test'

 I get every time: 

 "                        Application Error
SSMYST caused a General Protection Fault in module OS2GDI.EXE at 0016:04C6"


 Is this corrected on the last beta version ?

I've got a little problem with some OS/2 - Textmode Applications. I've
set the settings to "Start minimized" and it works fine, when I start
the application. Now I leave it on the WPS when I make the shutdown.
While rebooting the system, the application appears in a window, but why.
The setting "Start minimized" has changed, too.
Does someone know how the start a OS/2 - Textmode application in the
background (so that you don't get the window) on rebooting ?

Subject: Winos2 3.1 from Nov PDK on top of Servpak is OK?

The readme that comes with the 3.1 winosw beta that came with the
November PDK seems to say that I should install the whole beta
version of OS/2 before installing the 3.1 support.   However, the
message seems to insist heavily upon the 32 bits graphics engine.

I vaguely recall some comments about running 3.1 support directly
on top of the Service Pak.  Will that work?  Any caveat?


(I got some crucial stuff on my disk that I'll need for the next few
days and I can't afford right now the risk of having to reformat the HD.)


Thanks for any answer.
