it seems to have gone away, when I installed the 'Trident' 32 bit video

thankyouthankyouthankyou).

the *.ini files are still bigger, but cpyini doesn't reduce their size
as much anymore, so maybe valid data has been added. At least it's not
growing the way it did before.

Since I'm running OS/2 as write this, a quick test reveals the
following:

I'm running 4OS2 and as with a Unix shell, you can simply type

	>foobar

on a command line, which creates the file foobar to receive the
standard output of the null command (nothing, not surprisingly).

On both HPFS and FAT systems, this created a zero-length file,
BUT the free space in the HPFS filesystem was decremented by 512
while that of the FAT system was unchanged.  This evidence suggests
that the answer is yes for FAT but no for HPFS.

I'm sorry to ask a stupid question, but I've never quite understood this
point:  PM is the graphics manager (kind of like X-windows), WPS is a
shell that uses PM and manages files and processes?  Is this correct?
If it is, what is the advantage of the WPS?  How does running without
the WPS affect other PM programs? etc.

thanks.

I'm rather disappointed with what I've tried out from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.
And I tried almost everything there.

I just cannot seem to get a good vt100 emulation.  Everytime I try to
edit something (with VI, if that matters), characters get 'blanked'
over with a left-cursor press (not backspace).  Things don't seem
'solid'.  Y'know?

So I end up using a Windows term program (UNIX Windows), which in the 1.04
incarnation has excellent vt100. 
  
With this in mind, can anyone point to a simple vt100 term program?  

Also, is it generally agree that the Softterm that come swith OS/2 is unusable?

Hmm, maybe I'll look into commercial programs, I hate loading up WINOS/2 every
time I want to check email.

Well, I can't say I have any experience, since I've never gotten it to

then I thought I'd use my XGA connected to a 12" mono for secondary

I think OS/2's support of dual-monitors sucks an the program EchoMon
on hobbes doen't work either - it's meant to work with a color adapter
and a monochrome adapter, whoever's got on of these nowadays - I don't!

I've also tried asking Borland, why their dual-monitor support doesn't
work, but - surprise, surprise - they don't know!

So if you get any kind of usable responce, could you PLEASE email me,

I've recently installed the Beta on a clean partition.  I have an ET4000

works OK, but my question:

The icons and font sizes in 2.1 are larger than the 2.0 GA release using 
the orchid 1024x768x256 driver.  IS this the way it's supposed to be????
In 2.1 it looks more like I'm running in 800x600 rather than 1024x768.
I'm really wondering if there's a problem here.

This is easy. Check the name of the soundblaster driver file in your
MMOS2 directory. Make sure that it matches the name in your Config.sys
file. Also, the driver it uses depends on the Chipset in your SBPRO.
I believe the names of the drivers are SBPD2.SYS and SBP2D2.SYS.

I'm near to getting a Gateway 486/66-V.  Only problem is, their SRAM cache is
direct-mapped.  In theory, OS/2 should make the cache thrash during
multi-tasking, thereby making it fairly useless.

In practice, how big a problem is it?  If I was only running the OS + 1
memory-intensive number-crunching app, would direct-mapping suffice?  i.e.
Does the OS itself count as one of the things you're caching in and out?
Would having a 256K cache, as opposed to 64K, alleviate any problems?

I can understand this, but this leads me to a question. I know that for
desktop customizations I basically have 2 choices when reinstalling a new
version of the OS. a) Start from scratch, b) Hope that something like
WPSBKUP works across versions. What about customizations that consist of
adding new files. For example, I may have added a few new .DLL files, or
customized my WIN.INI file, or added a couple of utilities...


While some things can easily be added to directories on a different disk,
the logical place for a lot of this stuff seems to be the directory tree
containing the operating system. This of course gets destroyed when you
reformat.

Has anyone worked out a "perfect" solution to this problem? Writing every
little change on a piece of paper just doesn't sound realistic.

It is a relatively trivial matter to create a new command shell which
supports more than 102 lines.  Here's a suggestion for an enterprising

I'm one who has that combination VGA + Mono adapter. And I don't see a big
difference between using Echomon and not using it. If you use either display
the other one stops to be updated. Borlands dual-monitor support however (I
think you mean Turbo Debugger) works. It's getting confused with the mouse
pointer but everything else works fine. Amazingly even without installing
OS/2's mono drivers.

I believe that an 8518 is not capable of anything greater than

capability of doing 8514/a or XGA...  I don't remember where, but

was then...

Orville, 
     I have a similar system operating here. I use an Adaptec 1542B on 
my 486/50 with the following devices: 
 
Internal Seagate 316mb SCSI Drive at ID0 (Terminated)(End of cable) 
Internal Syquest 88mb removable drive at ID1 (Not Terminated) 
Internal 1542B controller card at ID7 (Default, NOT TERMINATED) 
External Wangtek 5150ES tape drive at ID4 (Terminated) 
 
     With the above setup, if the external tape drive is removed from  
the 1542b, I must fit a SCSI terminator to the outside of the 1542b. 
 
Set the tape drive to ID4 (Unix standard) and the CD-ROM drive to 
ID6 (Again Unix standard). Leave ID0,1,2 & 3 for hard disks. Ensure  
that if the tape drive is external, that the terminators are removed  
from the 1542b. 
 
     Also make sure that the boot device is the end of the SCSI chain 
and is terminated. 
 
     GTAK201B works perfectly on the above setup. SCSI is not as  
simple as people think, and there are some rules that need to be  
followed when setting them up. 
 
     Hope this helps,

Of course, OS/2 adds a lot to the equation. I suppose in the OS/2 case we

I think that sums it all up. On numerous occasions, I get to a point when
my WPS is going nuts and I can't kill an APP and CTRL-ESC and wait doesn't
even work but CTRL-ALT-DEL still does and when CAD kicks the bucket, 9
times out of 10 CTRL-ALT-NUMLOCK^2 _will_ work. So you are right, IBM needs
to make those three equally reliable (and not the lowest common denominator
either).

And add a way of killing WPS which is equally reliable would be nice too. I
suppose the main reason I, and most others, are whinging about C-A-D and
wanting to overburden it is that other things are not as reliable as it. If
IBM fix that problem, all this nattering abot CAD will probably disappear.

While we're talking about "How to Get the OS/2 2.1 Beta CD" I have some good
news for all us Canadians out there: We talked to Ken Fadelle at IBM today 
and he said that the Beta CD would be sold from IBM Canada starting next 
week!  I can't wait to give it a try.
