You clearly have some sort of hardware configuration problem.  Here's
what you need to check (and note that I am amplifying on this subject
from information already in the FAQ List):

(1) Your parallel port is sharing an interrupt with a device -- an
absolute no-no on AT-bus systems.  Shame on you.  :-)  For example,
you might have a SoundBlaster card set for IRQ 7.  LPT1 uses IRQ 7, so
reset any other card in the system to some other interrupt.  Also make
sure that LPT1 is set to generate interrupts on IRQ 7.

(2) You have a substandard cable.  Some vendors like to cut corners
and provide a cable which doesn't contain all the wires!  Swap cables
to see if that cures the problem.

(3) Your parallel port just isn't generating interrupts properly on
IRQ 7 (and is thus out of spec).  See if you can borrow a parallel
port adapter to check if the situation improves.

My problems are Twofold.

One)  I was using Nbackup to do a lot of my archive librarying of file, now
that I've 'switched over' I can't seem to restore any of the files I orignally
backed up (to floopy) When it asks for disk n+1, I replace the floppy, close
the door and wait. After a few seconds, Drive a's light goes out b's light
blinks on for a few seconds and then goes out...then an Infinite amount of
time passes as it never notices the floppy swap.

two) I have version 2.3 of NCSA telnet, in a dos box you must load the driver,
ne1000.exe/.com (not sure which it is) and then run ftp or telnet. This
works fine if you do it by hand...if you try to get os/2 to do it when it loads
a session (say a telnet icon) I get an 'illegal block device driver' error.
Is there any way around this? (say a macro facility or something)


Thanks a mucho
Mike

It happens when switching sessions via alt-esc, right?  What happens
is that the session gets the alt-down, when it's pressed, but the
keyboard gets switched away before the alt-up signal is sent.  It's a
bug.  The session should be send an alt-up upon switching out to
prevent this.

I'm not sure about DOS boxes - any DOS program is going to have to loop,
polling the system time to wait a specific period.  I see that either
(a) burning the CPU a bit, or (b) being detected as IDLE by OS/2, which is
fine - I don't know if the idle detection is basically keyboard I/O though.

For the OS/2 session though, all you need is a small program that calls
the DosSleep() function.  This will block a thread for the specified amount
of time (error margin = one timeslice and subject to thread priorities)
without using any CPU.

For directly from Rexx, I would expect that this is what the SysSleep routine
(part of the RexxUtil functions) does.  You didn't say how you had experimented
sleeping from Rexx, but if you didn't use SysSleep, I'd suggest giving it
a shot.

The other alternative is just creating a small program that calls DosSleep().
Over on ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in pub/os2/all/sysutils you can find wait.zoo, that
has a small wait.exe that should do what you want.  Note that it takes its
command line argument and passes it directly to DosSleep() so you need to
specify your delay in ms (1000s of a second), so to sleep for 5 seconds you
would use "wait 5000".

Just for the record - anyone who implements SLIP and calls it SLIP is going
to be able to talk to anyone else who has an implementation of SLIP.  SLIP
is a framing protocol for IP packets over a serial line, and if two
implementations frame things differently, one of them isn't doing SLIP.

Now there is an issue of CSLIP (compressed slip) which is a way to compress
TCP packets going over a SLIP link.  If one implementation supports CSLIP
and another doesn't, then you can't use CSLIP on the link.  But most any
implementation will be able to disable the compressed SLIP if necessary,
since CSLIP is not a universally supported protocol.

It's simple.  Microsoft had a self-imposed deadline to ship Windows 3.1.
That deadline was to ship *in volume* before OS/2 (GA) hit the streets
(in its piddly volumes).  Had they waited even another month to fix those
problems they could have easily lost significant market share.  Just
think of all those PC rags with nothing to report on but OS/2....

Maybe the reason for the sales staff defections is that they weren't good

Actually, The August 3 issue of either PC Week or Info World

will also include extra utilities, such as a disk defragger, etc.
If you want a multi-tasking DOS, you will have to wait until
version 7.0.

(In a sense, OS/2 is a multi-tasking DOS)

This question is frequently asked (and is listed in the FAQ List; see

available via anonymous ftp from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.  Either one will
convert your Windows icons to OS/2 format.

I don't really *like* WfW very much (I use emacs and PageMaker), but
Excel is very nice.  I haven't seen DeScribe, but I'm willing to take
your word for it that it does a good job.  

The point is that there is often a steep learning curve to using *any*
of these programs, and there is also an investment in data-entry time
that you have made.  Finally, if there are lots of other people using
things like Excel and WfW, you sometimes need to exchange files with
them.  (That's mainly why I have WfW myself, even though I don't
prefer using it.)  

This means that if we would really like to spend more of our time in
OS/2, and less time re-booting into Windows or WINOS2, we would like
to eventually (say at upgrade time) be able to get OS/2 versions of
those programs.

I have come to the same conclusion, myself, via a different route. I run
several DOS apps from the Novell Lan using the Requester. After I turned
background execution off, my memory problems went away. I concluded that with
background execution on, the active netware requester was preventing anything
from being swapped (because it was "active") and i was running out of memory.
