Subject: Help with DOS printing in OS/2 GA...
Date: 13 Oct 92 01:23:57 GMT

Hi all, I've helped install OS/2 for a local business and everything
seems to be going just fine (after I got the owner to STOP double
clicking the mouse a thousand times a second on everything he could see
:-)). A small annoyance has cropped up.

He uses an accounting package from Orchard Software that is written in
compiled Basic in a DOS session (it doesn't matter whether it's a VDM
or a OS/2-DOS seesion) and he is trying to print his statements. Well,
everything has worked just fine for over two weeks but all of a sudden
the print system won't fire up until he exits from the Accounting
program and thus exits from the DOS window.

Can anyone explain this rather odd behaviour?

Let's hope the Borland people have listened, and will let their upcoming

The Ultra Plus looks like a nice way to go.  ATI apparently includes
OS/2 2.0 drivers with this new card.

However, I would hang on another week or two to see what this new
Service Pack brings.  You might see some SuperVGA drivers.

ATI's board may be the greatest thing since sliced bread, but ATI has
stated that they won't be writing any new OS/2 drivers for their
boards.  They're content with the old 16-bit Wonder and Ultra drivers.
So you're going to have a really powerful board that will be
COMPLETELY WASTED running in VGA mode.

I have EzTape for OS/2 working under GA.  This was the version that

I reboot after finishing.  Mine is the external 80 Meg tape drive.

Yes.  A hard link is completely different from what PC people are
familiar with.  Under Unix, a file is not connected to its name or its
directory entries.  A file is referenced ONLY through an internal
structure (called an i-node or inode).  All filenames are text strings
followed by the inode number (inodes are stored such that they can be
referenced as an array).  All filenames are hard links.  You can have
multiple links by creating multiple filenames that point to the same
inode.  Unix doesn't get confused because the inode contains a count
of how many filenames point to it.  When you delete a file, you just
delete the name.  When an inode has no names pointing to it (and no
open file handles pointing to it) then the system reclaims the disk
space. 

OS/2's HPFS could do this, since its f-nodes are similar to Unix's
inodes, but I don't know if there is a reference count of links in
the fnode.

Anyhow, OS/2 has nothing at all like a hard link.  

A Unix symbolic link is a file which contains the location of another
file on the file system.  The OS needs to navigate the link on its
own.  This is the way OS/2 handles shadows.  If a file is deleted, the
system doesn't care about any symbolic links to it, if there are any
then they just point to a nonexistant file after that.

STB Systems makes a dual 16550 / parallel card, that sells
for around $50-$60. I got one, wanting to get the 16550
support. Well, the 16550 part seems to work great, and
the ASIC on the board seems to be faithful to the 
16550, but the parallel printer port doesn't work under
OS/2. Running PRNINTST.EXE (which tests the interrupt
line) the board generates many more interrupts than
needed, and as a result printing doesn't work under
OS/2. I talked to their tech support, and they are
aware of the problem, and hope to resolve it in the
future. 

Unless they replace the ASIC, or get a patch for OS/2 
to handle the spurious interrupts I don't think there
is much they can do.

Here's where the problem is.  I have no problem with the concept of program

that they look EXACTLY like the original file in the drives object.

HPFS is not immune to viruses, but it is incompatible, so dos viruses won't
know what to do with a hpfs disk.  (If the virus assumes it is a FAT disk and
writes to it, the disk will probably get corrupted.)

When os/2 is running, it will put limits on what a virus can do.  A virus will
be able to infect executable files both on HPFS and FAT partitions.
But it is not supposed to be able to infect boot sectors or partition tables,
as the "absolute disk write" bios interrupt is controlled by os/2.
Don't be too sure however, I got a mail from someone who claimed that the
stoned virus destroyed his disk when he was running os/2 only.  There is
probably a bug in the disk handling system that made this possible.

If there is no utility that removes the virus, there is really only one
simple way to get rid of it:
1. Boot from a write-protected clean floppy.
2. Use fdisk (from a clean floppy) to re-partition the drive.  This part is only
necessary if the virus infects the partition table, wich it may do.
3. re-format all partitions. 
4. Install all your files again, and be sure that you don't install the virus
   with them...

If the performance of your Winword is not worse than under OS/2 (at least in
full screen sessions) your WinOS2 settings are reasonible. You don`t need the
default EMS memory settings though. The loading time is the combined time to
load Windows, initialize it and then load WinWord. 30s  seems ok for that.

The performance drop of your DOS app could either be due to some
misconfiguration i.e. having HPFS on a 4MB machine or simply too less RAM.
It`s definitely _not_ OS/2 disk handling. This is the main reason why DOS apps
are usually faster under OS/2 than under DOS. Some days ago I compiled a
30.000 lines Turbo Pascal programm under OS/2  and DOS 5.0 w/ Smartdrive.
While OS/2 took about 26s for a complete build DOS took 46s. Compiling 30.000
lines is a rather disk intensive task, hence the speedup.
