The CommPak has been updated to 1.91, I believe.  Look for cpk_191.zip
at ftp-os2.nmsu.edu (perhaps in /pub/uploads).  The moderator of that
site will often incorporate the latest CommPak in the TE/2 package,
so, if you can't find it, get ahold of TE/2 again.  (Everything at
ftp-os2 is indexed in /pub/os2/00Index.)

(I'm doing this from memory, so bear with me.)

The batch file (call it GA_DISKS.CMD) would go something like this:

-----

@Echo OFF
LABEL A:"DISK 7"
pause
LABEL A:"DISK 8"
pause
LABEL A:"DISK 9"
pause

   [...]

LABEL A:"DISK 17"
pause
LABEL A:"DISK 18"
exit

-----

When Selective Install checks for the proper disk (e.g., disk 12 of GA),
it merely checks the volume label.  Hence, one can fool the installation
program into thinking that the requested diskette is in drive A.  OS/2
checks the diskette for the proper [font] files, finds none, then goes on.
(This doesn't work for the display driver diskettes from the CSD, though.
OS/2 looks for certain files and complains if they are not present.)

1.  Start Selective Install, up to where the GA disks are requested.
2.  Place a scratch diskette in drive A.  (Any diskette with an unwanted
    label will do.)
3.  Start GA_DISKS.CMD in an OS/2 window, and position the window to
    the side of the screen.  This will label the diskette in A as "DISK 7"
    (for 5.25"), then pause.
4.  Go back to Selective Install, and tell OS/2 that disk 7 is indeed in
    drive A (i.e., hit enter).  OS/2 finds none of the files on the disk,
    then asks for the next disk.
5.  Go to the OS/2 window with GA_DISKS.CMD and press any key to continue.
    This will label the diskette as "DISK 8," then pause.
6.  Repeat steps 4-5 until all the GA disks have been requested.

There is a very elegant way to do this in REXX, of course.  I'll post it
when I get around to writing it.  (My REXX is very poor.)

Hi,
 
I recently ordered a PC from Zenon System.  I would like to have your comments,
even though I already ordered it.  I would return it if it will not run OS/2.
 
The system costs me $4,720 (including shipping and handling).Its configuration:

* 486DX-33Mhz with 3 local bus slots
* 256K cache and 16MB (70ns) RAM.
* UltraStor 34F (local bus,SCSI-2 controller) with 64K cache
* 340MB Maxtor drive (12ms). 
* 17" monitor (MAG MX17F, 1028X1024, 0.26mm) 
* local-bus video card (the new Orchid 1280 using S3c803??) with 2MB RAM. 
* the fastest Texcel CD-ROM player (model 3024??, It's comparable to the NEC-74)
* PAP-16 sound card
* Labtec speakers and
* 6 CD titles.
* DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.1 (No extra software deals like Gateway has.) 

Note that it is not a DX2-66Mhz system.  I guest the 33Mhz would be fine for 
now.  I will upgrade to the 66 when needed; right now it would cost $300 more.

I ordered this system 2 weeks ago.  It should be here tomorrow.  I had chose
Gateway but I could not get through their busy phone system.  I ordered from
Zenon because I called several times to check on the systems and prices.  I got
connected everytime within 4 rings.  And the sales staff is quite nice.

What I need to know now is:
1.  Is it a good value system?
2.  Have you had any experience with Zenon?
3.  Will the system run OS/2?
4.  Is the Ultrastor controller popular and good with OS/2?  Is it really a 
    local-bus SCSI-2 controller?  Should I replace it with a comparable Adaptec?  
    It seems to me that the Adaptec controllers are more popular.
5.  How can I benchmark my system?  Where can I get the benchmark software?
    I found the Winbench 2.5 from CICA.  It only does video tests.  I need 
    a more complete test, including CPU, memory and I/O.
6.  Is the 3 local bus feature an advantage?  As I understand, two slots are
    used; one for video and one for the UltraStor SCSI controller.  One is
    available for future use.
7.  Can I find a similar system with a better price else where?
8.  If I should return it, how should I do it without the need of begging for
    the authorization.


Thanks for your time,

Kha Tran

P.S.
It is quite tough to find a good value multimedia PC that can run OS/2 well.
I just hope that this system will do the job for me.

This is the first time I post to a newsgroup.  Please tell me if this posting

It's probably more convenient to now use Adobe's ftp site for these

ftp.mv.us.adobe.com,  130.248.1.4

You'll need the Trantor drivers, but it does work fine.  Just get

Hi,

I recently installed the 2.1 beta, and have had some unusual problems lately
(like tonight).

Anyway...

I tried to install some Windows 3.1 games seamlessly, and couldn't get 
OS/2 to recognize them as Windows programs (I never could check WIN-OS/2
settings).  Then I found I couldn't even load my WIN-OS/2 full screen
session.  I managed to patch (create a DOS full screen session for
WINOS2.COM), but I am wondering what happened.

Also, I have had several lock-ups, and C-A-D wouldn't allow me to reboot;
I had to reset.  The lockups mostly occurred when exiting processes
(but not DOS...usually OS/2 icon views of directories)

And lastly, has anyone used the SIO comm drivers
with Procomm PLus for DOS and a ZOOM 14.4K FAXmodem?  I just
installed them tonight, and while they seem to work ok, I am wondering
if anyone else has had problems with them.

Thanx...

I like the NEC CDR-25 for a low end solution.  It is an external drive
(so you can also use it with your notebook, now or in the future),
standard SCSI, mid level performance (650 ms average access), and has
a good, two year warranty.  I've been told it works fine under OS/2
for data retrieval, at least.  (I haven't confirmed yet that it works
with audio CDs under OS/2.)

You can get the CDR-25, with Trantor 8-bit adapter (remember: you'll
need a free, lower interrupt; or you can simply discard this adapter
if you already have an OS/2-supported SCSI adapter) from Tiger
Software (800-888-4437 or 305-443-8212).  The price is $299 (plus
shipping), and the order number is XAG N27-250.

The Trantor OS/2 drivers are available in file trntradd.zip, available
via anonymous ftp from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.  Check file /pub/os2/00Index
for location.

If you are using OS/2 2.0 (and not the 2.1 beta), you'll also need the
file os2cdrom.zip (from the same ftp site).

That doesn't help, either.

Reinstall doesn't help, either.

That IS the case.  But OS/2 2.1 beta allows you to install on top of GA+SP.
(My case was Aug/92 beta + SP.)

Conclusion: if you install OS/2 2.1 beta over GA+SP, you will lose WinOS2 ATM;
reinstallation doesn't help.

My solution: reformat and clean install of the 2.1 beta.

There ain't no such thing.  Do you know what you're talking about?

To answer the original question, yes, you can use the same fonts
(Adobe Type 1 PFB format) for windows atm, winos2 atm, and os/2 atm
(and the various ports of gnu ghostscript, for that matter).  One
difference is that you need the corresponding .afm (adobe font metric)
files for OS/2 atm, while win atm and winos2 atm look for .pfm files
(ghostscript doesn't use font metric files).  You can obtain most of
the .afm files you need from ps-file-server@adobe.com (this is a mail
server.  Send a message that says "help" to get help).
