I have used the unregistered versions of both and preferred TE/2 because it
had Zmodem. I now have a registered copy of TE/2.
 
I prefer text-based comms programs because they are "crisper". No GUI to
refresh. I also bought TE/2 because PMComm's VT100 was not as good as TE/2.
This was probably the main difference for me as reasonably VT100 is critical
for my comms activities. 
 
The other main factor is the cost. The NZ$ is only worth about US$0.52, so the
US$20 difference is double that to me. As it was, I paid about NZ$130-140 for
TE/2.......PMComm would have been NZ$170-180. 
 
TE/2 also lets you use REXX for writing scripts. I don't recall PMComm
offering this feature.
 
I thought PMComm was better than *any* Windows 3.x comms program I had seen,
however. Just to put things in perspective.....:-)

Hello Conrad,

yes, that's right. There was an mail problem in the domain public.sub.org,
so all the mails to the orignal authors of TRN, to the moderator of
c.b.os2 and vice versa to Herbert Neugebauer, who did most of the port
bounced.

At the moment, TRN works fine and a beta test was performed by
Kai Uwe (thnx a lot) and somebody in Switzerland. In my view, TRN 
will be released next week, if there won't be any problems.

greets,

			Thilo


PS: Please send me a CC of a mail to Herbert (haen@veces.stgt.sub.org)
    concerning the TRN port, till the mail leak is fixed.

Are there any terminal programs out there that let you use window sizes
other than 80x25?  I find it painful that I have this nice graphics
display, but my terminal program (TE2) knows nothing but 80x25 mode.

Some display drivers (including Joel Armengaud's 800x600x256 driver
for the API) have problems displaying large text - drawing pieces of
it everywhere.  The only solution is to use a different display.dll
file, perhaps when the Orchid driver leaves beta (version 1.0?), it'll
take care of the problem.

I purchased an ATI Graphics Ultra to go with my new machine, and I installed
it using the standard IBM 8514 drivers (just let the installation do it's
work - it uses them automatically).  From my point of view, it's awesome -
really nice performance.  You shouldn't have to worry about any drivers
from anywhere else.

Hi there!
I stand immediately before a decision: I'd like to purchase a streamer.
I have tested a Wangtek 2GB DAT streamer together with an Adaptec 1542B and
GTAK as software. This solution is surely not the perfect way, especially
concerning the software. I thought to buy Wangtek 5150 SCSI streamer. My
question is: can I use e.g. Sytos software announced to come out in a few weeks,
or will I be fixed to GTAK for the rest of my life? I think EzTape is limited
on Irwin streamers?!
Any hint would be strongly appreciated!

I'm using gtarp for backing up a HPFS volume to tape. On my system neither the
-W nor the -d, -A, -r and -u option works. Does anyone know about it and
will a fix for gtarp be released? Or lies the problem in the nature of a tape

Are you sure this isn't the fault of your terminal server? Some have

Hi folks!

I want to use a diskcompressor for dos-games and some huge text

Momentary I only want to use the compressed drive under (real) DOS or
under OS2 2.0 DOS.

Can this be done with stacker (with or without stacker hardware) ?
Or may I use a VDM under OS2 (i dont want). 

If I can use stacker in a DOS box of OS2, can I then call DOS programs
from the compressed drive from WPS?

I think stacker will soon release a OS2 version, so I can easily update?!

Is there something better to buy?

The Font Palette which comes with OS/2 2.0 gives examples of the font.
Simply double click on the font name to bring up the font editor.

Once a font is installed, you can use it in the "e" editor.  To view
all the characters in that font, you can create a document with all
the characters in it.  Edit the document, then select the desired font
to see what the characters look like.

I agree that a utility specifically designed for that purpose would be
nice, but these work-arounds should be usable.

Subject: 32 bit code compared to 16 bits: some figures
Date: Sun, 23 Aug 92 16:54:37 GMT
Organization: The University of Calgary, Alberta

I made some experiments with Fortran code that I wrote, using MS Fortran 5.1
and Watcom Fortran 386 V. 9.  Numbers are as follows:

OS/2 2.0, MS Fortran 5.1: total time:	73.066 minutes
OS/2 2.0, Watcom Fortran 386 (32 bits):	28.066 minutes
DOS + Extender (Watcom, 32 bits):	27.801 minutes

OS/2, Watcom, multitasking job1:	56.884 minutes
			   job2:	56.784 minutes

HP 9000/710:				 2.874 minutes total, 2:52.7 user.

Notes:

1. DOS and OS/2: on a 386-25, with IIT FPU.

2. Code: double precision, floating point intensive, with
   very little else, esp. very little I/O.  Not particularly
   suitable to the HP-PA 1.1 architecture, the optimizing
   features of which are made little use of.  Code too large
   to run in DOS without extender.  Arrays larger than 64k.

3. Identical source code for all cases, except (1) that the date/time
   calls were adapted to the various cases.  DOS+Extender code was
   slightly different in that it includes some graphs (a logo at
   the beginning.  Penalty is very slight, however.)

4. Under OS/2: nothing else running except the WPS.  Running in
   a full-screen OS/2 window.

5. OS/2 multitasking: running twice the same job, one OS/2 full-
   screen and the other in an OS/2 window.  Nothing else but
   the WPS running.  Actually started the second job 4 seconds after
   the first.  (Requires two copies of the executable.)

6. There are some indications that the arithmetic may be slightly
   less accurate with MS Fortran 5.1.

The code may not be well-optimized on the HP.  I will also run it
on an IBM RS/6000 560 probably next week.

they're having a promo price of #399+VAT after which the price
will be #499+VAT

ie. in $'s thats (at the new #1=$2 rate)
