I have been unable to get this to work.  Starting a DOS session with 
vdisk.sys results in the full-screen message indicating the program has 
encountered an error and must be shut down.  In case it matters, I have 
the new kernel and the new hpfs files.

I suppose you don't need to rename the original MORE.
Just specify it's full name (probably MORE.COM) and you're avoiding
recursion of the command file.
(I assume that's why you wanted to rename it.)

I hope this helps (Ihth).

Move the Soundblaster off IRQ 7 (which is used by printer port one) --
this conflicts when trying to print.  On most systems IRQ 5 is free
(normally LPT 2).

Also, obtain the bvhsvga.zoo file, available via anonymous ftp from

Paradise adapter.

Ah, OK.  I would also unplug that third floppy drive for the time being.

I am fresh out of ideas otherwise.  Do take a look at both the OS/2

however, at least in my set up, the smaller fonts for standard VGA

though as i've mentioned this before and no-one else said they had

Careful with the never WRT  the Bernouli and HPFS, their drivers (currently in

This said ( and I own d90 Meg Bernouli transportable ) would be to go for the

You're not bloody likely.  The fonts for text windows are built into
your DISPLAY.DLL file and aren't alterable.  

I fail to see how an ATM font would really work, since they are
proportional.  Proprtional fonts in an emulated text-mode would cause
more problems than it would solve - do you really like Courier that
much?

That's because you only have 5MB.  IBM recommends nothing less than
6MB for HPFS use.  You'll get much better performance if you up the
memory by at least one more megabyte, or if you re-format your disks
for the FAT system and remove the HPFS driver from CONFIG.SYS

>So if you can't stand the speed of your sx slug just spend $300 and

Or up the memory if you're below convenient operating levels (6MB).
Personally, I'd insist that any OS/2 users have at least 6MB
(preferably 8).  The memory is relatively cheap, and if you decide to
upgrade the motherboard anyway, you can (usually) transfer the SIMMs
over to the new system.

So long as we use tools that use temporary files instead of large virtual
memory arrays, we will gain performance by using a RAM disk in addition
to the cache.  I have found that despite the hype about OS/2's fantastic
disk caching algorithms, that running a make in a DOS VDM with both lazy
writes and even HPFS, (or real DOS with smartdrv.sys), a RAM disk is more
effective.  The FAQ even claims that disk intensive DOS APP's will run
faster on OS/2 because of the caching.  I have observed the reverse -- as
much as a 15% penalty.  I have been collecting actual data for _my_ usage,
your mileage may vary.  But please note, I'd still rather use OS/2 than 
plain DOS.

  I know for me the Windows compatibility will only make a difference
  in the short run.  All of the applications I use are intending to
  make a OS/2 compatible version soon.  Thus, why would I upgrade to
  the windows version, when I can upgrade to apps that take advantage

   I'm pleased to say YES!!!!!!
I just finished the port of it last night.
(I had done a build of it on friday but found bugs...)

There is only one problem, the license that comes with pov 
prohibites one from distributing binaries that they make.
I have sent email to two of the heads of the POV team, but I
haven't gotten any response.

The license states that I need "written permission"
in order to distribute  the binaries.

I am willing to give you what I have done so far, so long as 
you don't give it to anyone without them asking for it from me,
this way I can't get it
(whoops) I can't get in too much trouble....

But if I give binaries to people, they had better not upload them to
an ftp site or anything until we get permission.

I sent mail to both David Buck, and to Drew Wells.
And I called Drew Wells on the phone and left a message 
on his answering machine.

I did the port using the IBM C Set/2 kit, and it is a 32 bit 
executable, and I have run a bunch of test files through it, and 
so far it seems to run very well...
I haven't benchmarked it against the executable that they are
currently distributing though...

I also have a port of the pbmplus image processing package underway...
I have most of the pixmap stuff finished, and I'm writing an online
reference for OS/2 (.inf file)

Someone else already tried to port the pbmplus stuff, they put their
binri

binaries in the hobbes /pub/downloads directory, but I tried them and 
none of the ppm stuff seemed to work right, and the doc file that came
with it said the 

said that he didn't test the executables. (which is probably why they
don't work...)

I have tested mine, and the ones that are done, definitely work properly.

Anyone that wants my POV-Ray binary, should send me mail...
I'll use the mail as evidence that there is a NEED for OS/2 binaries
to be distributed...
I'll just say that anyone that uses my binary is just helping me to 
beta test it :-)
(which is not altogether untrue...)

Also, anyone that wants the peices of pbmplus that are finished can send me
mail and I'll arrange to have them available...

Later,

(I hate it when the terminal type gets screwed and I can't delete...)

There here!  In pub/downloads.  The 16 color ones are proii4.zip and the
256 color ones are proii8.zip.  I installed the 1024x768 driver and it 
have noticed a few things:

1) The "yellowed" palette problem has been fixed.
2) The font size in Window titles and other places has been increased and
   is more readable.
3) Slightly faster (I may be imagining this one though)
 
In the still not there department:
1) No seamless windows.
2) I still can't run SVGA games in a window. (Video mode not supported in
   a window).

All in all, an improvement.  They are still in the 0.9 beta release, this is
just the 2nd release of that version.
