Although links are possible, given the structure of HPFS, they are not
implemented.  Shadows are only a WPS thing, and are not part of the
file system.

As for finding bitmaps, the notebook will only look in /OS2/BITMAP to
produce the list, but you can pick other ones using the Find...
button.

When you launch a program from a folder-menu, one extra parameter is
tacked on to the command line: the name of the folder that the menu is
attached to.  So, if your icon launches Emacs with no parameters, and
the menu is attached to the "MyFolder" directory, you end up running
"Emacs MyFolder", etc.  The desktop is just another folder, whose name
is "OS!2 2.0 Desktop".

To get around this, you can make a .CMD (batch) file that launches
Emacs and ignores all command-line parameters.  Then make an icon
point to this .CMD file, and hook the menu to this icon.  Then the
parameters will be ignored.

>3)  Is there a port of Unix sort or equivelent? 

Look about.  Most of the GNU utilities have been ported to OS/2 at one
point or another.  I suggest looking in ftp-os2.nmsu.edu first.

the next time you boot your system.  Otherwise you may hang before

Which reminds me of a question I've had for some time.  Does Phil Katz
still own PKWare?  After all, he named the company after himself, but
I've never seen his name on anything recent since the old PKARC
scandal six years ago.

I'm about ready to get a Gateway 66V, and plan to run the 2.1b on it. 
Aside from silliness with ATI cards (I'll be using a Tseng), are there any
problems with this box?  Can a happy Gateway 66V owner confirm that it's a
good machine for OS/2?  Or a heartbroken one save me the trouble of

On the Model 95 with XGA and an 8514 display that I have in my office, I can 
change the resolution very easily. Open the os/2 system folder, click on system
setup, click on system icon which opens the system settings. There I find
an option to change video resolution.

I don't know whether this will be the case with yours. I guess that it will be.
Otherwise, you will have to do it via Selective Install as has been explained
by many posters here before. (That is, Selective Install, Primary display,
XGA, OK, Install, OK, and then follow instructions].

My wish for 2.1 is that a method similar to XGA be provided to change video
resolution by choosing it from choices from within System Setup, without having
to reinsert disks 6-19 everytime you need to change video resolution. That is
painful and frustrating.

 This is a me too...

 I'm only running 2.0(actually 2.0.1) version right now on my PS/VP.  But
this is the third time I've had to reinstall this week after messing with
the display drivers.  I've decided now never to touch that satanic config
utility every again.  Just leaving it at 800x600 which is acceptable and
working for now.

 Blank screen, computer's working but nobody is home.

If games are using digitized sound on the pc speakers then they will most definitely
run slowly or in an odd manner. The reason being that those games need to 
access the hardware timer in order to play the digitized sounds. You could
of course give the games access to the hardware timer but I personally don't
like doing this because I've had bad experiences with them. This might explain
the problem with WC I & II and other games like F117A

I think I've noticed a similar problem occasionally, which seemed mainly
to be WP believing the ALT key was permanently depressed. Try pressing it
and releasing a few times.

I've also noticed that very often, after using WP 5.1 in a DOS session, my
entire machine slows down. This continues after the process has stopped,
and until I next reboot. I've only noticed this behavior with WP.

  My understanding is that the expiration date on the PDK software and
  the 2.1 beta is purely a legal one (no software checking).   IBM
  usually does not make their software stop working when it expires.
  I don't know if the IBM lawyers have some way of knowing, though :-)

You might try the one in the new Trident drivers (pub/os2/2.0/drivers/tri32new.zip on

 Somedays I need a modem at work.  I can unplug my modem off my home machine

 I've used my 2400 baud external on everything from a Morrow MD2(old CP/M

 My old Hayes 1200 certainly was.  I'm not too happy with my current Viva
24fx.  But yes, it's better than my friends internal.


 IMO, I'd never buy an Internal modem.  It's just not a wise investment to
lock all of your peripherals to a specific platform.

  After changing the icon for an object in the 2.1 beta. I decided to delete the "find results *.*" icon and folder that find had made. The folder contained about 30-40 icons and i usually am able to delete them with no difficulty. So I just threw it in the shredder and clicked delete for the folder deletion dialog.

  WHAMM.. the system started crawling. It went so that it took almost 15 seconds or so just to get a mouse click recognized. So I let it run to see what was happenning. nothing. No disk accesses other than when I tried to shell. it wasn't even touching the contents of the folder so I shut down. 

   When it came back up the folder was unchanged and I was able to delete the icons bye selecting them with the mouse and then droping them into the shredder. Then I deleted the folder. 

   ** I was able to recreated this **

    It semm's to me that there isn't any German service pack.

    Who knows wheter IBM released a German service pack or not ?

If there is no German service pack, someone has to shake up IBM
Germany. The Norwegian service pack has been available for about a
month, and it can be downloaded from IBM Norway's OS/2 BBS. From a
global commercial point of view, the German-speaking market (Germany,
Austria and partly Switzerland) should be more interesting than the
Norwegian speaking market.
