That's my understanding, yes.  Now you know why Microchannel

I was told today by an IBM person the CSD would probably be out in November.
However he also stated it already ships with some IBM machines, as far as
I understood this means PS/2s with OS/2 pre-installed. Appaerantly the
32-bit VGA and XGA drivers are already done, and there exists a beta of
this CSD which is "IBM internal only". He also mentioned September 14 as
a date for a new release, this probably is a new beta possibly containing
8514 and SVGA drivers for the new graphics engine.

Can't you use an escape sequence directed at ansi.sys embeded in your prompt

with the Unix machine that I am posting this message from, or I would check

Hope this is a step in the right direction for you.

Or you can insert a new directory at the beginning of your LIBPATH list in
config.sys.  Put the new drivers there, and reboot.  You're now running the
new drivers.  If you share a driver with DOS, put them on that drive.  Then
if there are problems, boot DOS, and remove the files.

I do this, and it's very handy!

YModem-G depends on an absolutely perfect, error-free link.  I suggest
using either ZModem or normal YModem-Batch, preferably the former.  Or
try experimenting with increasing TE/2's priority settings (in
TE2.INI).

Do you have IOPL=YES in your OS/2 CONFIG.SYS?

Can you provide additional details?  Which application is causing the

Not so strange.  Were you reading here when OS/2 2.0 was released and
the Windows Upgrade program started?  *I* was sure left with the
impression that the 32-bit graphics engine and Windows 3.1
compatibility stuff would be in CSD's (which are free, as opposed to

Has anyone gotten MathCAD v 3.1 to run under OS/2 2.0?  The README file
for OS/2 mentions MathCAD 3.0, and their hint works to get the thing
installed.  Running it is another matter.

No matter what I try, I get a dialog box telling me that there isn't enough
memory available, and that I should shut down some Windows Apps and try again.
It doesn't seem to matter if I run it from the Workplace, or a separate
Win-OS/2 session.

At one point, I actually did get it running.  However, it was far from
stable.  If I deleted some (un-related) files from my disk, it stopped
running.  Put the files back, and it starts to work.  I assume that this
might have something to do with the amount of disk space available for the
swap file.  Unfortunatly, now that doesn't even work.

Anyone know what magic incantations I need to use to get this thing to
run?  In case it matters, I'm running on a PS/2 Mod 80 with 12Meg memory
and a 70Meg ESDI hard disk.

Subject: kermit or ckermit at 9600 baud
Organization: UCLA Department of Physics
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 92 21:20:32 GMT

Hi,

Recently, I have been helping setup OS/2 on my brother's machine, and the
only real problem has been ckermit.

His system is a 25 MHz 486 machine, with an EXTERNAL Hayes modem (a v42/v32
modem as I recall, capable of some 30+ kilobaud transfer rate). He uses it
to connect to a 9600 baud connection on his mainframe.

Under DOS, no problem. Under OS/2, at 9600 baud, get dropped bits, graphics
is messed up and downloads invariably fail due to too many errors.

At 2400 baud, things seem to work <but did not test sufficiently>.

Question: If a 'smart' <ie buffered> modem is connected to the computer via
a 'dumb' <ie unbuffered> com port, what would be the net performance under
a multitasking OS like OS/2? I felt that as long as the modem sends the
information 16 bits at a time, it shouldn't matter if the com port is
buffered or not. Is that true?

Second question: ckermit for OS/2 was _worse_ than kermit for DOS with this
system. Seemed very slow, especially with TeK 4010 graphics.

So ... have people been having luck with either of these packages at 9600
baud, and if so, what did it take?

Incidentally, the simple tests we did to check the performance of fortran
on that machine were very impressive. His astrophysics codes ran almost
as fast as 16bit OS/2 executables as they did when compiled for DOS <ie,
not a comparison of DOS VDM vs vanilla DOS, but a comparison of segmented
OS/2 vs DOS; my own tests usually showed a big difference. I guess I use
huge arrays more plentifully>

A strange thing has been happening to me lately.  I've just
reinstalled OS/2 and my clock refuses to show up on the desktop when
I boot up.

Before I reinstalled, everytime I shut down with the clock on the 
desktop, it would automatically appear when I boot up the next time.

But now, it won't do it anymore and I have to put it in the 
startup folder to have it come up automatically?  

This is not too big of a problem, but it is just having a psychological
effect on me since I remember some people posting about how we really
shouldn't automatically start up applications such as the clock via
the startup folder.

Has this happened to anyone else? 

Btw:  why does every dos application I run puts pulse on a one way trip

With 479 icons, you are using up too much of the PM resources (not memory
exactly). The 32-bit graphics engine will take care of this for you. Your
best bet is to reduce the number of icons in the directory for now (group

Why?  Try resetting your modem to COM2 -- it isn't kosher to leave

Simple.  Pop up the task list with CTRL-ESC.  Locate the WIN-OS2
session on the list.  Click-right on the name to pop up the session's
menu.  Select "close".  The session should terminate within 30 or 40
seconds.  Perhaps sooner, depending on how much clean-up is necessary.
