I am very glad to hear this.  But what exactly do you mean?  Do the
programmers of OS/2 read this group?  If so, why don't we ever hear
from them?  Even if not them, then someone else.  It would be nice
once in a while to know what involved people think of all our "OS/2
should do this" and "why does/doesn't OS/2 do that?" comments.  As I
have said here before, it would be encouraging to IBM's sophisticated
customers (sophisticated == serious enough about computers in general
and OS/2 in particular to read this group or similar groups on CI$) to
know that they are listening.  Assigning some people to maintain an
"official" presence on these groups would be good for customer
confidence.  (Hiring Mr. Timothy Sipples full time to do this would
be a good start... :-)

Has anyone managed, in OS/2, to use a full-screen DOS window to display a
***24-bit, true-color*** image?

Has anyone done it without crashing their machine?

If so, what hardware were you using?  (Make, model, company, everything).

Right now they always come up about 1/3 the size of a full window.  I don't

For some odd reason, after I installed the XFEEL program in my STARTUP folder

Add to that HPFS.IFS.  It's still 16 bit for GA stuff.  Lan Man (or something
similar) had an HPFS386.IFS, which had/has a BUNCH of extra features useful
in multiuser situations.  The FAT driver, though, has been converted to 32

	Features that Os/2 should have, just to make life BETTER than it
already is:
1}  Be able to double-click the right mouse button on an icon.  If that icon
is set so it pulls up a new window, the right-button method should pull the
existant session to foreground.  If the icon is set to pull the existant
session to foregrount, the right-button should create a new one.  Excelent for
multiple 4Os/2 windows without duplicate icons.

2}  Be able to reload Os/2 after a shutdown.  There should be a single window,
with two buttons.  One reboots, and one reloads Os/2.  I'm sure much of the
code is still loaded, since shutdown essentially saves window positions et al,
but I doubt it unloads code.  So how hard could this be?

If you're talking about the upgrade that allows DOS to use disks larger

They will work fine with OS/2 but you may want the BIOS upgrade if you
plan to install DOS as well. There is also a limitation with OS/2 that
it will NOT boot from a partition with more than 1024 cylinders. You can
-
The extended BIOS translation will allow booting from a single partition
and let MS-DOS see the whole drive.

MS-DOS requires the new BIOS because int 13 is limited to 1024 tracks.
The OS/2 drivers do NOT use the BIOS but instead talk directly to the
firmware. Of course the BIOS is used to do the initial boot.

You did not miss it, but it is still not a deficiency in Zoo's design.

dir /b /s foo | zoo ahI bar.zoo

Zoo accepts file names from the pipe (I).  You can also use things like the
gnu find utility to filter out which files are zoo'ed.  Under DOS I used
stuff, a utility like Gnu find to pick out files which had been modified 
since a zoo backup file on the net, and add them, excluding *.tmp, *.o, etc.

Hope this helps

I don't know.  I dont have the manual for it. :(

Does anyone know if trident 8900b cards use IRQ2???  

I just got the beta COMM2211 drivers from hobbes and it still reports
COM3 Interrupt not available.  

SIO was able to use it, and it worked just fine, but SIO thought it was IRQ9
and not IRQ2.  Also, to use it in the term program, I had to set the term
program to IRQ2.

The only problem was after I exited the term program and tried to run a
utility I use a lot, the system came to a screeching halt with some sort
of illegal instruction or lockup.

Any ideas???

Please respond to email...so i dont miss the reply.

Thanks in advance.

Greg
