A list of software that works, OC.  I'm not questioning the utility of
such a list, I'm questioning the feasability of creating/maintaining
such a list.  Wuarchive alone has a 9 meg ls -lR listing.  And that's
just shareware/freeware which has made it to the net.  Are you
volunteering to test all of those programs, and all of the commercial
programs out there?

I'm not even volunteering to type in the names of the DOS programs I
have on *my* system that work.  It would take too long; there are too
many of them, and I don't want to spend several hours on this.  And even
if I did it, the list maintainer (the poor sucker) would have to spend
weeks, or perhaps months weeding out duplicates between various people's
lists.

Unless a program: 1. uses VCPI, 2. requires direct disk access, or 3.
uses a proprietary memory manager, chances are about 99.9% that it will
work.  Those odds are good enough for me.  Especially since most
software vendors will give you your money back if the thing simply
doesn't work.

Maybe if the question:  "does package X work under OS/2" were a faq, we
might be justified in putting in the effort required.

>>The only way that THIS list would be useful is if it listed *every* DOS

>You've got this backwards.  A list of stuff that works under OS/2 is

>based on it.

A point.  However, the stuff that's *least* likely to be on the list is
new software--new releases.  Thus you might end up buying some old
clunker program, simply because the new zip-bam-boom software was just
released, and hasn't been "certified" by the net yet.  Even though
zip-bam-boom runs under OS/2 just fine, and solves your problems 10x as
well as the old clunker.

This is the main reason I hesitate at the idea of building a list of DOS
software that works under OS/2.  Aside from that, it's a dandy idea,
except that I really doubt that anyone is crazy enough to volunteer to
create such a list.  And even if someone is, do you want to rely on a
list maintained by a looney?  :-) :-)

>If someone cares to take up this task (my account quota prohibits it,

Gee, you're not volunteering to build/maintain the list?  Imagine my
surprise!  :-)

At least it's evidence that you're sane.  :-) :-) :-)

Well, of all things to not work in the beta, why did it have to be solitaire?

Why couldn't it have been something insignificant, like the OS/2 system folder
or the mouse support? 

Has anyone else had solitaire look whacked (all red-suit cards show blank,
and all black-suit cards show with a red face)?

Actually, I've found that the game is pretty interesting to play this way...

I suspect that they did this so that you have to have OS2 in order to
read them. NOte at the beginning of the file that they are supplied ONLY
to owners of OS2, and this format goes a little way to ensuring that
they can only be read by OS2. I believe that you can print them out from
OS2.

The problem is in IBM1S506.ADD.  I replaced the beta file on disk 1 with the
original GA IBM1S506.ADD and I could go through install just fine.  The
computer refuses to boot after disk 5
because the IBM1S506.ADD installed onto the harddrive is a different copy
than the one on disk 1.  At this point I tried booting off floppy and manually
copying over the correct .add file, but this created even more problems.  I
was attempting to install OS/2 on drive d: (a logical partition), but after
booting off floppy it insisted on trying to install to c:.  The only solution
I found was to remove the second harddrive until installation was complete.
Now that everything is installed and the proper .add file is on the harddrive
all appears to be well.

I had thought that the OS/2 GA required 10 meg of virtual RAM, 
that's why even with 8 meg you swap. I've seen a pretty good speed
difference with 12 meg over 8. Of course, the beta negates that difference
in large part.

The PC wasn't really designed to support more than two displays

VGA and MDA (text mode; Hercules adapter not allowed).
8514/A (1024x768 256 colors) and VGA.
XGA and VGA.

Incidently, you might want to look at the utility EchoMon, available

 I have found that if I migrate the winos2 3.1 applets to the os2 desktop

tool and try to paint a line or anything else that you must hold down the

pick the brush hold down the mouse button and drag it around for a couple
of seconds and it will soon freeze.
 Anybody else able to do this?

 I am also having problems every now and then switching to os2 or dos full
screens. When I do, I see strange green and blue stripes. What makes this
weird is that it doesn't happen all the time. I was use to this with dos
shells only under the old GA but not with both os2 and dos shells under
the new beta...

 Still no REDBOOKS and now they are available by ftp... :-(

Hi there,

I`ve got a problem with a DOS program  that tries to print to a Postscript
printer. It`s output is spooled by OS/2 and then stays "printing" forever
without any data actually going to the printer. OS/2 starts printing just when
I close that program.
Now I`ve got the latest OS2TNT file and found a description of my problem
along with the solution to load LPTDD.SYS as a DOS device driver and then set
the PRINT_TIMEOUT to whatever I like. This only hangs the whole system so that
I have to C-A-D to get it to work again.

Does anyone know a solution ?

Actuall - what I think would be nice is if IBM set up a mail address where
you could request a copy. It shouldn't be that difficult to automate it
so that it sends the CSD back to anyone who requests it. There are a lot
of people who can't ftp, but can receive e-mail.

Add items to your LIBPATH statement in CONFIG.SYS.  If a subdir is in 
LIBPATH, OS/2 will look for DLLs there.

Just a side-note....you can get rid of those "grayed-out" icon names on
your desktop (WPS) by doing the following:

	instead of using the "create a shadow" menu option, just take
	MB2 and the Ctrl keys pressed together and drag the icon to
	the WPS...and you will have a shadowed object....and you can
	then change all the colors from the color palette using the

The above will let you have ALL icon names have the same color.  Hope all

I have installed the COMMGA.ZIP fixes to solve a problem with
communications errors on a test scanner (you know, the fill-in-the-dot
type of test :-).  The scanner refused to work prior to the installtion
of the new COM.SYS and VCOM.SYS.  Now the scanner works fitfully--certainly
not well enough to be satisfactory.  I am using the COM_DIRECT_ACCESS
property along with COM_HOLD and COM_SELECT = COM1.  Without COM_DIRECT_ACCESS
the scanner won't work at all.  The scanner works better in a full-screen
than in a windowed session.  These things taken together lead me to believe
that there is some data loss because direct access does not buffer the COM
port--but why would this happen at 2400bps (the operating speed of the
scanner, as far as I know)?

The scanner software is TABE by McGraw Hill.  The scanner itself is an
NCS Sentry 3000.

The redbook.package file said "Copyright statement fixed".
So, it may be that the previous version is adequate for those who have

Unfortunately, so long as our systems have only a single floppy
controller chip, there is no possibility of formatting two floppies
simultaneously, or copying from one floppy to another where the
reading of one drive overlaps with the writing of the other.  See, the
single controller chip has the ability to perform one operation at a
time, with one floppy drive at a time.

You can buy a "bulk diskette copier" card which has many floppy
controllers on it.  It can read a source diskette and write to
many destination diskettes simultaneously, because it has a controller
for each floppy drive.

It's possible to copy from the hard drive to the floppy with complete
overlap, because there is an independent hard disk controller (of some
sort, be it MFM, RLL, ESDI, IDE, or SCSI).

Boards which are a combination floppy/hard disk controller board have
two separate controllers mounted on the same card.  They can still
operate independently.

SCSI has the ability to overlap operations performed on different
drives connected to the same controller.  This is because SCSI drives
are "smart".  They can receive an instruction from the host computer,
then disconnect from the host and perform the operation, and
re-connect to complete the operation later.

OS/2 2.0 will do for me until AmigaDOS for the 386 comes along...
