If you switch everything over to HPFS (I am assuming that this is what

Organization: NT Europe Limited, London N11 1HB.


Does anybody know how I can get OS/2 2.0 on a workstation to see the virtual
DOS drives on an SCO Unix server just like Windoze 3.1?  The LAN is NETBIOS
based (PowerLAN). The docs seem to suggest it can be done but dont say how.

I suppose I could run the workstation DOS sofware in a window but then
I would only be able to see the virtual drives in that window (I'm
guessing...I havent tried it yet)

Any Ideas Anyone?

Best Regards....

        Would someone tell me what the Hamilton C shell is?  Is it a Unix-
like shell that runs under OS/2?  If so, is there a 32-bit 2.0 version in 
the works?  Is it shareware or "regular-ware"?  (Is there a better term than
"regular-ware" for non-shareware and non-freeware software?)
        Also, could someone explain the whole deal with the 16550 chip?  I
have heard that it is much better to have for high speed communications work,
but that is about all I know.  I've seen the chip for $12.00; if it is that
good I will certainly get it.  But, how do I tell what chip I currently have,
and then where would I install the new one if I got it?  Is it on the mother-
board or in the modem or where?  I currently only have a 2400 baud external
modem, but Imfixinta (what does the phrase 'I'm fixing to' mean?) upgrade 
to a 14000 baud modem through Gateway's deal (since I have a Gateway 
486/33 :-).  Thanks.

Aww, hell, are you serious? Why is this program so popular then? Why don't 
more people use lharc instead? (which does support a target directory).

 Hello.  I am considering buying a motherboard(386-40) that has a FOREX
chipset on it.  The BIOS is AMI, and is dated 7-7-91.  I would like to 
know if their are any problems with the FOREX chipset and OS/2 GA, as I
plan on running OS/2 2.0 exclusively on my system.  Thanks.

Er, no, you don't.  OS/2 is a multitasking, multimode environment.

Limited, cooperative multitasking (with the exception of DOS
applications, which are time sliced), yes.

PM (or the Workplace Shell) does not provide multitasking features
throughout the operating system.

Yes.  Use the PSTAT command.

There are many differences.  Unix has greater provision for multiuser
usage.  Also, Unix has different APIs.  Unix does not have threads (in
most versions).

>os/2&pm.

Hell no.  Even OS/2's most vociferous detractors would argue against
that point.  Otherwise OS/2 would be the most economical -- OS/2 2.0,
as an upgrade from Windows, costs less than Windows 3.1.

>If os/2 is truly multi-tasking, why can't I start two text mode apps and

You can.  Hit CTRL-ESC, ALT-TAB, etc.  The menu you use to select apps
happens to be graphical.  (OS/2 1.0 shipped with a text mode menuing
system for switching among applications.)

I think your assessment that "OS/2 is just like DOS/Windows" is
actually encouraging.  That probably means OS/2 2.0 covers the
backward compatibility issue fairly well.

Remember to copy FSFILTER.SYS to a disk that DOS can already access.  If

loads FSFILTER.SYS.

Depends on the application.  A DOS box will work as you say.  A PM-app
will decide for itself what happens when you resize it.

Always had it.  1.2 and 1.3 did as well.

Not at all.  Heavy duty use will find some snags, but if it installs

You got it.  When I worked for a corporation with OS/2 installed,
Corrective Service disks would be shipped out when available.  If you
have a specific problem, and they have a patch available, you can
often get a "beta" of the CSD disks to fix your bug immediately.

I believe a non-corporate user may have to go out and get the disks,
but they're still without charge.

This isn't the case.  There I told you ;-)

Really, no you can run individual Windows apps seamlessly on the PM
desktop, each in its own PM window, with no need at all to have the
windows program manager active.

You can of course run multiple copies of PROGMAN.EXE seamlessly on the
PM desktop, each running several windows apps as you would normally.

At present I believe seamless is limited to VGA resolution.  If you want
higher resolution you can run windows apps individually in WIN-OS2
fullscreen sessions, or run PROGMAN in a WIN-OS2 session.

 Just as a side note, I called Diamond Tech support yesterday and the

drivers for the Stealth video card.  I pressed him further to make sure
that he didn't mean that they were just "thinking" about it, but he

worth.  Hopefully they will be release sometime this summer.

JPI also has compilers available for OS/2.  I'm not sure if they
are 32-bit versions yet, but they did have a full line of
compilers for OS/2 v1.3 which should still work under v2.0.
I'm going to call them sometime myself to find out if they are
giving free upgrades to the 32-bit versions when they come out.
JPI has C, C++, and Modula 2 compilers and debuggers.  They might
have Pascal and Fortran, too, but I forget.  I don't know if they
have an 800 number.  Anyone know?

 Yes. Windows can have icons which "move". Windows and PM have a very
 very similar architecture. IMHO, the difficult part of programming Windows
 or PM is this message based architecture. Even if API's are different
 porting (non multi-threaded) applications from OS/2 to Windows or vice versa
 should not be too difficult (at least not intellectually). The basic 
 structure of the programs remains unchancged.

 I prefer (by far) programming for PM since I have a solid  Kernel
 (Operating System, if you prefer) to rely upon. As a child I was always
 told that one cannot build a house on unstable grounds. 

 DOS is pure shit and Windows is sitting on it.

	What I have heard, and this is just a unconfirmed rumor, so I would
appreciate more information from someone who knows, is that Mathematica 2.1
will probably run under WinOS/2.  The current beta test version supposedly 
only needs five lines of code changed to run under WinOS/2.  More information,
please.

  Can anyone elaborate the generic scsi support on OS/2 2.0 GA?  From
what I've read about it, sounds like IBM is calling the BIOS routines??
What does this do to performance?  Just curious.  Thanks.

It MOVEs for me.  I actually prefer it that way.
