I can answer the second question.

For almost any program that doesn't understand wildcards you can use
the FOR command (from either a batch file or the command line).  See
your online Command Reference for details on FOR.

Hi,

I have an ATI VGAWONDER XL 1MB card and I am trying to configure
OS/2 2.0 to use it. Here is my question: What kind of mouse is it ?

I have tried Inport and Serial but with no success.

By the way, where can I find real drivers for this card (not only
256 colors).

Thanks in advance.

It does support the entire Adaptec line.  The OS/2 2.0 drivers that
come right in the box are genuine OS/2 2.0 drivers.  (Note I did not

It should, at least with the CDROM_G driver, available via anonymous

Have you tried setting VIDEO_SWITCH_NOTIFICATION to OFF?

Doing so corrects disappearing mouse pointer problems under WIN-OS/2 if you
are using the SP.

Several people have notified IBM of this problem.  The APAR is PJ04866.
Watch for a fix to appear some time soon.  In the mean time, try the above
setting.  You may also want to change VIDEO_RETRACE_EMULATION.

There's usually a jumper on the drive itself which controls the disk
change line.  You'll want to move that jumper.

For details, ask the folks in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware, because this
really is a hardware issue more than an OS/2 one.  (Read their FAQ

Parameters are no problem, but multiple filenames may be.

1) Create a program reference object that points to unzip.exe. Create
another one that does the same, but that specifies '-l' as a parameter.
Call one 'unzip' and one 'ziplist' (or whatever). Set the associations
for both to point to *.zip files; the one you set first will become the
default for all zip files. You can either drop *.zip file objects on
these to unzip or list them, or you can open a view of the zip file
objects (the default will be whichever association you established
first, with the others available by menu). You can do the same with zoo,
of course (-extract and -list, respectively).

2) I am told that a program reference object can be made to prompt for
input in two ways:

a. If you put a question mark in the parameters line, it will prompt for
parameters.

b. If you put a specific prompt text inside square brackets on the
parameters line (you can have more than one), it will prompt for
specific parameters.

I haven't tried either of these.

3) I have been told that program reference objects don't understand
having multiple things dropped on them, so you can't do the same for
_creating_ zip files. I haven't tried this either, or given much
thought to a workaround. I find I list and unpack zip and zoo files more
often than I create them, but it would be handy to be able to have an
object-oriented alternative to anything that can be done on the command
line.

Cheers,

David

of the master help index.  If anyone could show me how to
get it back I'd apprecitate it.  (Selective install didn't.)
I am running GA with the lattest pre-sp kernel from Hobbes
and gt16mb patches and SP installed over that.

Also, whilst I am languishing waiting to hear if CORE will
support my tape drive under OS/2 I have been giving serious 
thought to selling the floppy monster and getting a SCSI tape
drive and a SCSI host adapter (As SCSI devices tend not to run

I have a Gateway 2000 486/33 with a 321Mb ESDI hard drive on an
UltraStor controller. The floppy drives are controlled through an
Archive XL 125Mb tape controller.

When a place a disk in drive a: (a 3.5 inch floppy) and do a dir on
the disk it reads the directory fine.  However, a problem occurs when
I remove the first floppy and place a new one in. I do a dir and I get
the directory from the first floppy!

My impression is the directory is read from the cache because the
media change was not detected.  If I overflow the cache (by doing a
lengthy c: dir) then reread a: it works ok.

In daily work this is not a problem but when I went to install the SP it
hangs on disk 3 because it still thinks disk 2 is in the drive.

Many thanks for the correct solution.

IPE or system lockup with garble on the screen where something was supposed to
appear... I can run at least a few programs, but, for example, if I run the
terminal program that came with OS/2, it loads, but either selecting the Change
item in the menu or trying to connect crashes the system... If I run galleria 
(image editor) I can usually get it to start and open small bitmaps. But, if I
try to load anything larger than the screen area... CRASH.  I got this card
hoping to solve my problems with my old OAK card... but it has only caused
many more.  I have not yet installed the CSD, but I don't think the system
will make it through the CSD instalation process without crashing...

VMODE.EXE is a progam that comes with most Tseng ET4000 based video cards
(Orchid calls their version PEMODE.EXE for the ProDesigner/e).  If you have
such a card, it will be on one of your utilities/driver diskettes.  If you
find it, copy it somewhere convenient on your hard disk, and from a DOS
session, run VMODE /? (or VMODE /h).  It will list the video modes the
particular version of VMODE supports, and it will tell you how to make the
changes.

Other video cards also come with mode switching programs, though I can't
remember who uses what.  The ATI 8514-Ultra handles mode adjustments with
its INSTALL program, I think, but that's really the only one I can recall.

Oh, yes.  Tseng ET3000 based video cards also use VMODE.EXE (like my old,
retired Orchid Designer VGA).

Subject: minimizing a WinOS2 app on start-up
Organization: Purdue University Computing Center
Date: Tue, 17 Nov 1992 00:33:48 GMT

In order to lessen the mean time between WinOS2 3.0 application starts I have
drug a shadow of my windows clock to my start up folder.  That works fine and
all in that it does pre-load Windows.  The only thing is that I want the clock
to start up minimized.

Is there a way to make it start minimized?  Or at least a way to change the
location and the size of the window it starts in?

Thanks!
