Well I talked to an OS/2 rep today trying to solve a problem I'm
having getting black, frozen screens and no desktop access when
exiting Ami Pro 3.0 after editing large (+40K) files.  I asked him
about the September CSD and he hemmed and haughed and finally said
that it was originally planned for September but was now probably
delayed until November (which is what those down under have been
hearing too).  

While this news disappoints me, I'd rather know they were going to
release something good and solid _later_ than something buggy sooner.
I just hope they don't wait too long.  In the meantime I'm happy being
able to get patches for my problems.

The last one is labeled as "beta" by Adaptec.

It supports drives > 1GB and has a reprogrammed bus on/off ratio.
The one you are using only has the reprogrammed bus on/off ratio.

I have a Maxtor P1-17S (1.7 GB!) and I have been using the latest
driver (out of necessity!) without a problem.  Actually, I think
it is more reliable than either of the other two (I have gotten
a couple of traps from the others).

This won't work, my object is not in a subdirectory.

BUT SOLUTION:

My heartiest congratualtions go to the author of the recently posted
INIEDIT. This program will let you edit (and rewrite) your OS2.INI file (or
any INI file) even though it is in use. I opened OS2.INI, found the
WP_Abstract:Objects section and looked at every entry. One of them was the
undeletable object I was after - it was in as an WPS abstract item (like
the shredder etc) so I just deleted it. A shutdown and a reboot later all
was OK.

This INIEDIT is an EXCELLENT program, I suggest everybody grab a copy of
it.

Unfortunately not (limitation of the hardware) -- most machines can't
boot from Drive B.  It is a BIOS limitation, meaning it is a DOS
limitation, meaning OS/2's real DOS sessions can't boot from Drive B
(except, perhaps, on certain systems which do have the BIOS support).

However, I have used VMDISK on Drive B -- it seems to work just fine
as the source for the hard disk boot image file.

Subject: 0s2 compilers
Date: 26 Aug 92 22:39:28 GMT
Organization: Dept. of Computer Science, Michigan State University

I am thinking of buying a new system and running os2. My programming background
is with sun unix workstations, so I am used to 32bit code and a flat memory
model. Now I am no Hardware or software expert but I want to write C/C++
programs on my new system -- I don't care about DOS/WINDOWS compatibility and I
want to avoid segmented memory models in my programs. (Which I assume os2 allows.
Right?) 

Can someone recommend a good compiler for os2? And perhaps an assembler too. I
want something that really utilizes the advanced (?) features of os2 over DOS
type programs.

Are there any good graphical libraries out there? I am used to Xwindows, so I am
looking for libraries that offer similar types of objects, such as buttons,
sliders, canvas's, etc. I want something to help me flesh out GUIs *fast*!

Thanks in advance!

You should be able to obtain either (or both) from any large software

$50

P.S.  The upgrade requires a file called RUP.RUP to be created on
      disk 1.  If you have DOS installed already, OS/2 installation
      will create it for you.  Otherwise, you will to create it
      yourself (it is a zero-length file, so don't worry, be happy).

Try these (one at a time):
 
1. Check the bus speed. Is it 8 or 10 MHz?
 
2. Turn TURBO off - just for the install.
 
3. Got a strange video card?
 
4. Using mixed-speed RAM? Different manufacturers? Mixed RAM can cause
   problems.
 
5. Hard disk? What sort is it? SCSI?
 
Good luck!

I have a 24meg ISA machine and it seems that OS/2 uses the memory over 16MB
(using the GT16MB patch) as swap space. My SWAPPER.DAT has not grown over 1
meg since I installed the extra memory. It does mean that I get a small
delay when closing windows where nothing happens, but I suspect this is a
replacement of the disk activity that used to occur in the same situation.

I will add the often reported "Out of memory" problem with the new
kernel.

I also have problems from time to time with windows-programs (Word and
WP-Win). It seems that OS/2 2.0 will not close the programs. When I
get the "Out of memory message", I try to close those programs. But in
some way they are not really closed. If I have to re-boot the system,
it starts with those programs running (causing new "Out of memory"
problems).

This is not a good idea.  OS/2 will refuse to read a drive from which 
the EA file has been removed.  You could get away with it by running 
chkdsk on the drive just after deleting the EA file.  Chkdsk will report 
a bunch of errors (missing EAs) and create smaller EA file.  Don't blame 
me if something goes wrong...

Is NCSA Telnet DV aware?   If it is, you can get a program from hobbes
called OS2SPEED and try that.  It will reduce the hogging of the CPU
by certain programs like GSZ.

	OK, I got OS/2 today and went to install int.  My
C: drive made HORRENDOUS noises, I thought all was lost.  I
called Microwarehouse, where I bought it, the guy said it was
probably a derfective copy of OS/2.  Could this be? 
	I've got a 386-20 DX with 2 hard drives, bout th
old 65 meg RLL's.
