TF. Here is Version 2.0 of REXXShip.  This version improves upon Version
TF. 1.0 by encoding files using a tighter scheme loosely based on
TF. XXEncode.

Tried running it per instructions and all I got was a file of binary
garbage after running it.  I assume that if I got the messages:  Decoding
and then "Done" it had created the correct file.  Perhaps it was corrupted
enroute.

A lot of people are now getting this conference via UUPCB, which splits
messages up into 100 line segments as that is what PC Board is expecting.
If you are going to send this out in the future, you might want to keep
that in mind.  Perhaps REXXShip might reasonably be expected to have a
count on each line which is checked to see if the sections got put together
wrong...

Regards, Mikey

To work under OS/2, I use cutcp for dos in a "dos session".
I can hot key to previous or next session. and there's an indicator at the
bottom of the screen for characters coming in in a session you're not
watching!  It also has a single user FTP server... with a password file.
as well as IBM3270 emulation!!!

It works well for me, runs all the time.  (drives PULSE to the max though...
must be written with DOS in mind!!!)

I just got TE/2 for OS/2, and have been referred to it for help with

my Ultrix system.  I have tried both the old and beta comm
drivers, and according to the "info" box in TE/2, I am using CommPak/2
version 1.01.  Using an older version of sz (1987!!!) it can start the
download but get crc errors.  Using the newer version we have (sz 3.14),
it gets a remote abort before it can do ANYTHING.  Any ideas?  Any
other terms that aren't cripple ware (so I can TEST the damn zmodem)!

I've been fooling aroundwith TE/2 and so far I have an overall good 
impression of it.  One thing I ran into, though, that I thought I would 
share with the rest of you, is a set of circumstances that adversely affects
my system.

I am running OS/2 on a 386sx-25 with 8 megs of RAM.  My modem is a Zoom
Telephonics v.32bis.  Today I was downloading a large gif file using zmodem
on TE/2, and I noticed that when I switched to the WPS (I run TE/2 in
full-screen) the system load jumped up pretty high (I keep PULSE on to
monitor how the system reacts).

So long as PULSE did not flatline at the top, Zmodem performed flawlessly.
Once, however, I opened another app and the process demanded all my system 
could provide.  When I went back to TE/2, it was in the process of 
trying to resend the packet.  To the product's (TE/2) credit, it was able
to reestablish where the stream had been broken and transferred my 
file successfully.

Further experimentation showed me that the episode was a direct result of
my system demanding the full resources of the computer.  Now I'm not 
going to be running out and buying a full 486 system anytime soon nor
will I be buying any more RAM.  So I am going to have to live with 
this (not s though it is all that serious).

A couple of questions come to mind:

	1) Has anyone with a larger machine noticed this either?

	2) Is there a way I can configure OS/2 to give priority to 
	Zmodem?  Anything I could do to the config.sys file that 
	might make a difference?

Cheers,

This reveals a strong argument for the equivalent to an "uudecode"
utility to be shipped with the operating system -- that way, you don't
need to worry any more about a spoofed uudecode utility than a spoofed
REXX interpreter which might interpret a REXX script that *LOOKS*
harmless in a harmful manner.

Thanks to all the people who answered my question about WP for Windows.

New problem: I've got Com3 to work for softterm by following the instruction

to.  Anyone have clues?

Also: I've just obtained a Fax/modem board yesterday.  When I tried to run 
the accompanied software in a DOS box, OS2complaint that it tried to access
COM1 which is controlled by another app.  But I didn't have any other app
running!  Besides, I've configure it to run on COM3!!  What's wrong?

Does anyone know a good fax program for OS/2?  Does WinFax work under WPS?

Again, please reply by e-mail.  I will post whatever comments/solutions

It sure isn't a problem with OS/2.  I regularly download files with TE/2
and Z-modem at 19200 without any problems.  I have even done what seemed
like impossible:

	1.  Download with Z-Modem on COM1 at 19200 baud
	2.  Read news with TE/2 on COM2 at 2400 baud
	3.  Upload with Kermit on COM3 at 9600 baud

And all of this on a 386-SX 16MHz with 6Meg RAM!  That's very impressive
IMO.


Try missing around with TE/2 settings, all I know is it works for me.

Love that OS/2

There are seperate drivers for the OS/2 desktop and for WINOS2. The OS/2
SVGA driver does not work for WINOS2. WINOS2 uses the normal Windows
drivers from ATI. To install it you just copy the new driver over the
old one.

I just downloaded and installed your port of Ispell yesterday. This includes
the ispell.el Emacs interface. I assumed from your readme file that you had
not made any changes to it. This weekend I will make the modifications to 
the elisp code necessary for it to function under OS/2. On or about Monday I
will upload the edited version to hobbes.

As an aside, why is an 80x25 screen size hardcoded (I assume via termcap)
into ispell? Wouldn't it make more sense to in a graphical environment to
have a version that can sense and adapt to various configurations?

1. OS/2 Help warns agains installing WINOS2 drivers not included with OS/2,
2. The drivers I know have no update instructions. For sure,

There is a way of making the help work. I don't remember the exact process
but there is definatly a way. I beleive all you have to do is to rename
the help file. Didn't put AmiPro in OS/2 yet because I was waiting for
my upgrade to 3.0. I got it a couple of weeks ago but haven't gotten the
chance to install it (in OS/2). If I spot the procedure again I will post
it for you.
