No, microsoft.com is not an FTP site.  Microsoft does put stuff at the
anonymous FTP site ftp.uu.net.  Look in the /vendor/microsoft

May I warn you to do this ? Even if it's possible to run this program in a dos-
session, there is a great chance to garble up you whole disc, as the defrag-pro-
gram needs to read and write absolute to your disc. And windows will try to read
and write on your disc too. Especially if it is a Dos-based defragmenter I ask
you: DON't DO THIS TO YOUR POOR DATA !!!!

Thomas,

Hmmm, check the status of SmartDrive.  Is it read/write caching on the floppy's?
If so, I would remove this option for your floppy's and try the same procedure.
I do not think that the SmartDrive with 3.1 performs properly on all systems.

Thomas,

You're right.  I tried the same procedure you outlined in your first message,
and the same thing happend.  I have the U.S. version, so it must be a Win
3.1 bug for all versions.  I did notice that if you clicked ok on the
Write Protect error, but did not remove the disk and unprotect it, the error
does not occur.  After you get the error and close the error box, just click
yes on the copy file box.  Nothing will happen, but the error won't show up
either.

Domingo,

DOS 5.0 does provide sorting by name, extension, date, backwards, for-
wards, groups--it's rather flexible.  You can even issue a "set dircmd="
to set as a default parameter when you issue the dir command.

It turns out that the solution to my problem was to use the /B option
on the DOS COPY command, e.g.:
	COPY A:BUDGET.PRN PRN /B

This allowed the Excel sheet with the Arial fonts to print out
perfectly on the LaserJet III attached to the departmental machine.

By the way the print file that Excel generated was very small (25K for
a 3-page document) - I think TrueType is great.

Thanks to all for your help!

Jeffrey,

I haven't looked lately, but I do have a copy of WINCLI3.ZIP if you want it.
Perhaps they are working a new release, cuz of problems with 3.1.  I know
that there is a commercial version available, perhaps they no longer wish
to distribute the Shareware.  You can message the Sysops at CICA directly
and ask them.

People are VERY prejudiced against OS/2, and rightly so.  IBM has
promised for years that OS/2 would be "such-n-such", and never 
delivered the goods.  But OS/2 2.0 is vastly different from previous
versions.  Believe me, I know.  I installed OS/2 1.3 on my machine
and tinkered around with it for 6 months.  I liked its multitasking
features and its reliability, but its DOS compatibility sucked.

Go back to that store and ask the salesman if he has actually installed
OS/2 on a 386/25 or better with at least 8 MB ram.  If he says no, and
he's telling you that OS/2 is unreliable, refuse to do business with
that bozo. 

QUESTION: What's the difference between a car salesman and a computer
          salesman?

ANSWER: The car salesman knows when he's lying.


All the computer mags agree that IBM has finally lived up to its claims.
I'm not saying that OS/2 2.0 is perfect (no environment or OS is), but
it sure runs circles around Desqview and Windows which were my primary
environments until I installed OS/2 2.0.  When I found that I could
format floppies, download in the background, and play Wing Commander 2
Special Operations with SB speech and Roland LAPC-1 music all at the 
same time, I about fell off my chair.

OS/2 comes with a money back satisfaction guarantee.  Call 1-800-3IBM-OS2
and order it and try it for yourself.  If you don't like how the box
smells, send it back for a full refund.  Just be sure you have at least
8 MB ram.  DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT USING IT ON A 4 MB SYSTEM.  It's useless.
If you want real performance and a *real* OS, be prepared to pay for it.
You get what you pay for.  If you just want a mindless program loader with
a gooey layered over it, get Windows.

Re: OS/2 crashing machines.

One of the *features* of OS/2 2.0 is that it will *stress* your hardware.
If your memory chips are marginal, or anything else is not-quite-perfect,
OS/2 will probably show it.  I saw *some* of that with MS-W, but to nowhere
near the same extent.

Despite of what you say above I have successfully ran *two* TCP/IP applications
(in addition to Netware IPX) on top of one Packet Driver (on one Ethernet card)
using PKTMUX.

My configuration:

ALR 486/33 EISA with 16MB of RAM
Western Digital (now SMC) WD8003 Elite 16 Ethernet card
Windows 3.1

With the following AUTOEXEC.BAT

C:\QEMM\LOADHI /R:2 C:\COMM\PCTCP\WD8003E 0x6f 11 0x240 0xd800
C:\QEMM\LOADHI /R:2 C:\COMM\PCTCP\PKTMUX 2 6f
C:\QEMM\LOADHI /R:2 C:\COMM\PCTCP\PKTDRV 6E 6F
C:\QEMM\LOADHI /R:2 D:\UTILS\QVT\PKTINT.COM  
C:\QEMM\LOADHI /R:2 C:\COMM\PCTCP\PKTDRV 6B 
C:\QEMM\LOADHI /R:2 C:\COMM\PCTCP\ETHDRV  

I am able to run QVT/Net v2.6 on the first virtual packet and HCL eXceed/W
(an X-server software for Windows) on top of the second one (X-server requires
FTP software's PC/TCP programs to interface with the Ethernet card).  My 
Netware setup just uses BYU IPX driver and uses the same packet driver as
the above *two* TCP/IP apps (which is no big deal because IPX is a different
protocol.  The big deal is QVT/Net and X-server running together.)

Hope that could be of some help.

Greg

P.S. I don't remember where I got PKTMUX, but you can always try 
archie -s pktmux if you have Archie, or e-mail me and I'll look for it for 
you.

Good question.  About a month ago, I (as a Lotus Agenda owner) received a
pre-promo promo, in which Lotus announced that it would soon be sending me
information about the organizer.  I'm still waiting.

In the meantime, I've talked with Agenda tech support folks who have either
seen this program or heard about it.  (Funny how information is at a
premium, but I guess that's part of the promo-promo.)  All they know is that
it will import .ag files (but not export organizer files to agenda format),
and that the program resembles an appointment book.

I'm still interested in getting information, but at this point I'm not sure
whether the organizer is more like an electronic Day Timer or more like
Packrat.  Apparently, it's not a Windows version of Agenda.  

Stay tuned; we'll see.

I blame sstor above all things, - maybe that's unfair, but
since these dirs were not even *left* (i.e. unerase couldn't
find them to unerase), I suspect sstor.

Don't be so quick to blame SStor for that problem.  We have an IBM PS/2-80 here
that we had to reformat and reload all software at least a half dozen times
while getting Win31 to install.  We don't run SStor on our 115MB ESDI drive.
It seemed that often Win31 would delete directories on a random basis from our
hard drive while installing drivers for other devices.

One problem we have never solved is access to our 44MB 5.25" Bernoulli drive
(on D:).  We simply don't allow anyone to access the Bernoulli under Win31.
Micro$oft would not help us with that problem, they said it was Iomega's fault.
Iomega sent us new drivers that are allegedly Win31 compatible.   The story
ends with us trying to access the Bernoulli with then new driver set and *POOF*
entire directory trees on C: are gone.

Thus we have limited the functionality of Win31 on our PS/2-80 until such time
as we can get someone's user support to help us.  Everyone is still passing the
buck on this issue, at least for us.

Have a Day!

WANTED: TRIDENT T8900 Windows Driver: 800x600, 256 colors.

Hello there. I do have some Windows 3.0 drivers for 256-colors support, i.e.
640x480, 1024x768, but because of my monitor (NEC 3D) I would really
appreciate just a simple 800x600 resolution, in 256colors, though.
The original distribution disk of more than a year ago does not include
the referenced T800.DRV, which would support that specific mode.
Now: does any of you have that driver? I doesn't really matter wether for
Windows 3.0 or 3.1, since I found out how to use 3.0 Drivers in 3.1.
Now, I do not have access to anonymous FTP, so if you do have that
800x600 256color driver please leave me a msg either here (how 'bout
posting it?) or E-Mail to

moar@Informatik.TU-Muenchen.DE (Christoph Moar)

I would really appreciate it if s/b could find this driver out for me.
Just in case you wouldn't be able to post it, give me a E-Mail and
I'd be glad to let you have a disk where you could copy the file down
for me and like have it (regular) mailed to me. I'd take over the
mail charge.

Many thanx,

c u

The following message is a upload from Compuserve. I think it's what
you asked for.

Tony, 2.0a fixes a few problems reported in 2.0 - spelling UAE's on occasion
with misspelled text in headers, and large or complex graphics not printing are
the two most frequently mentioned problems.  If you are experiencing one of
these problems, call your local microsoft office to get a copy.  If you are
having some other problem, contact technical product support for further
information.
