What is the maximum number of windows - or rather objects referenced with a HWND
- is it possible to allocate in a process and the system? (is it 100, 1000 or
10000...).

I am investegating how to implement a medium size application with several
different "real" windows with different types of diagrams etc. It should be
possible to click on a bar in a diagram and display more information about it -
possible displayed as a new diagram.

This could be solved with the traditional Gpi calls and retained graphics, but
it would be much simpler if every bar (and all other object at the screen) could
be implemented as windows. This also enables me to make a nice OO implementation
based on message passing between the windows (and some object windows)

Do any of you out there have any experience of applications built upon this
concept?

emx also has a debugger and faster floating point support. The executable 
files are also smaller if you use emx.dll.

I have seen a new book "Client-Server Programming in OS/2", but that

Anybody have any ideas, E-mail me is fine.

I am not sure if this is a REXX "limitation", or a part of the
definition of the language but I believe that you may not perform
an instruction as part of a "while" statement.  While this is
legal in C, and is "do the assignment to 'n', and compare with '0'"
every "=" inside the parentheses of a "while" is considered the
logical "equals?" symbol.

Here is a trick that is little known to OS/2 REXX programmers, the
"trace ?i" instruction.  Add to the second line of you program,
just after the /* */ and then you have an interactive debugging
environment - you can issue REXX commands such as 'say', or any
variable assignments (i.e. change the value of a variable, or
create a new one), or you can issue any OS/2 command (e.g. DIR,
start epm foo.c, etc.).
  It is most powerful and well known to CMS REXX programmers, yet
it takes a while for the word to spread to new REXX systems.  Use
the 'trace' command.

I have a problem with printing that needs to be solved quickly.  I hope
someone could help me..

We have written a C/SET/2 program that does GPI printing to the HP LJ3
printer.  The program works fine with the HPLJ3 printer drivers for OS/2
2.0 GA (ie, without the Service Pack, ie, 16-bit GRE).

However, when it is ported to a 2.0 SP system (with the Service pack
applied), it refuses to print.  One program complains that it cannot find
the fonts (the program calls for Helv fonts).  Another program simply
sends the output to the spool and then disappears from there.

What is the problem?  Is it that I would need to get a new printer driver
for the HPLJ3 to work with the Service Pack?  Where can I get them?

Please reply to me direct.

Thanks.

Do the Nov. & Dec. PDK's both include a C++ compiler?  Also do both

Ideally, it would be nice to know the differences among all three of

      According to both Corporate Communications and PC Testing, this
is correct. They claim 2nd Quarter, but I find that _very_ hard to
believe. It will be a port of WPwin 5.2, with very few attempts to
customize performance for OS/2. Personally, I figure a U.S. release in
August; Canadian release for late September; foreign releases before
the year is out. (U.K.-based releases should be there by October).
Pure speculation.

 -W> The only thing that worries me is: If WP5.2 *is* coming
 -W> out......when will we see V6.0?????

     Which was my concern too. However, C.C. made a very good point.
Most of their WP users have been begging for the OS/2 version to be
released, at any cost. So, now you have a release. What else do you
want? Personally, I'd like WP 7.0 for OS/2 next week, but.... :-)

 -W> Doesn't look to be soon.......if we get WP5.2 first.

     It will follow the same development path as WPwin is: Release of
5.2, optimization development, beta testing of 6.0, release three
quarters after the release of 5.2. Which means that we won't see 6.0
until 1994. In fairness, 6.0 for Windows (and therefore OS/2) won't be
changed all that much from 5.2. It's WPdos 6.0 that will be radically
changed. However, that does mean that while everyone else is using an
OS/2-optimized word processor, WordPerfect users are stuck with a port
from Windows. Bottom line: We're a full year away from WPos2 6.0.

X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL6]
Date: Sun, 24 Jan 1993 16:43:20 GMT


I would like to hear opinnions about the word processor of choice for OS/2.

My problem is this: I've been using Word for Windows 2.0 and Word 5.5 for
DOS but, since Microsoft has (or has it?) decided that it won't support
OS/2, I have to switch to another program. I wouldn't like to get stuck in
a dead end (to paraphrase BG). I know a few other people who are in the
same position - even people who are not themselves using OS/2 seem to feel
that they would rather use an "universal" word processor instead of one
which is, by choice, not supporting one of the major platforms. This is
really sad because generally I have liked the WORDs.

At first glance WP 5.2 for windows didn't seem to be very hot for an OS/2
user. Describe might be a good one but their marketing strategy does
not appeal to me (they don't offer a competetive upgrade, but instead
graciously invite me to evaluate Describe 4.0 for $400 (!) (and this is
educational institute pricing). Ami pro might be good but I haven't got
any personal experience with it.

So netters, where to go word processor-wise? (for writing biomedical
scientific papers, correspondence etc.).

It is recommended, highly, that you reformat before installing the 2.1Beta.

But...try copying gdi.exe to os2gdi.exe in your \os2\mdos\winos2\system
directory.  
OR...I found a line in my SYSTEM.INI (\os2\mdos\winos2) that said:

os2gdi.exe=gdi.exe

Try one of those... I recommend the latter, if you don't mind editing the

Ive tried to install IDL under WIN-OS2 on a 486, it gives me a warning saying
that script or DLL has been corrupted and that it is unable to load 
mscuistf.dll, and then stops installation with an 'unknown error'. There is  
nothing wrong with the installation disk since it installs perfectly on a 
computer under windows. Ill be grateful for any help.
