I've used msd both in a dos window under OS/2 and in "booted" dos, and
found that it didn't always get my config right. I have COM1 and COM2
on IRQ4 and IRQ3, respectively, and a 14,4 fax/modem COM3 on IRQ5. A
mouse is on COM1. There is no LTP2 on IRQ5. Usually some part of this

I found the same solution (i.e. unsetting the DELDIR environment variable)
for TRAP D's. They occured after installation of 2.1 Beta over my GA+SP
system as soon more than two files where deleted (two 'del x.y' cmds in a
row resulted in a TRAP D as well as a 'del *.*', no matter if OS/2 or DOS
session).
The system was almost useless at that point. Running TCP/IP and having
SENDMAIL receiving files generated a TRAP D almost every minute.

Previously I had installed the 2.1 Beta in it's own partition and since
it worked quite nicely, I decided to install it over my "production" system 
(after a backup, of course). But now I migrated the config.sys/autoexec.bat
files of the existing GA+SP which had 'SET DELDIR...' lines. Funny, why are
these lines always REMed out after new installations of OS/2 ?? When I 
unREMed the lines in the separate installation of the 2.1 beta the TRAP D
showed up as well.

Removing the 'SET DELDIR....' lines from config.sys and autoexec.bat made
my day and the 2.1 beta runs flawlessly now (esp. Win 3.1 Enhanced mode, I
love it :-)) with my previous desktop !!!

Date: 5 Jan 1993 10:45:19 GMT
Organization: University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C., Canada
NNTP-Posting-Host: unixg.ubc.ca


Beta version 25 of the SIO replacement com drivers are buggy (they cause
TRAP E - page fault) on my system, usually at boot time, although
it is kind sort of random. It says exception in driver com3: so
I'm certain it's their fault. Verson 20 was better I think.

Other things seemed wonky with v25, on a couple of occaisions, the desktop
froze totally, except for mouse (moved, but nothing else), and a crash
when I tried to start a seamless winos2 session. My system had been rock
solid until I added the beta drivers. (this bolsters my theory that the
OS/2 kernel, basic stuff is EXTREMELY stable, and that 99% of traps,
hangs, freezes, crashes come from device drivers and low level DLLs.
Previous oddities went away with standard VGA, and now with the 
generic 32bit SVGA drivers (bless you IBM, although they could be faster).
The amount of problems those %((*^(*^ Trident drivers caused....)

So far, the worst I've had from the standard com.sys driver is TE/2
clobbering the serial ports. I guess the driver dies. At least everything
else continues working, and I can shutdown and reboot properly. I
hate not being able to reload the com port drivers on the fly. Why
can't OS/2 just kill the old driver and reload it? Grrr.

I just spoke with Backmaster yesterday and could not get them to commit to
_any_ sort of delivery date.  I am going to join their Beta program to see
what sort of stuff they are doing and will fill everyone in if there is no
sort of non-disclosure agreement.  Also, they sounded very much like IBM in
that they considered quality to be a very important thing.  They saw the
problems (here on internet) about the CMS software and did not want to make
the same mistake of introducing some buggy software.

Indeed, why not?  But it doesn't.  Ckoker32.exe (Kermit 5a(188) for

since I'm used to vt320 support for many years in Procomm and DOS

Also, the latest elvis (elvis16.zip) included recent copies of

I just uploaded version 2.02 of imShow to ftp-os2.nmsu.edu. It now has
limited support for other palette management devices than XGA and XGA-2.
I tested it on a system with a Tseng ET4000 based card, and it works
as long as you don't touch the "View" menu (which allows you to scale
the picture). The palette manager on this device driver is that awfully
buggy, it's almost impossible to use it at all. Fortunately, Raja Thiagarajan
found a way to display bitmaps at least at their original size (100%).

Over the holidays, I translated the source code comments from german to
english, so I think I can now release the source as well. It's also

If you want to run OS/2 2.1 in 4 megs, use NC's MENU.EXE as your user
interface.
 
Change the Protshell to cmd.exe or try menu.exe. You can launch DOS, OS/2 and
WinOS2 apps from the configurable menu. Alt+Esc switches you around your open
tasks. 
 
On a 386DX/25 with 4 megs, I had a OS/2 FS session, DOS Window, Winos2 3.1
(with Word for Windows 2.0c open), PMseek and PMdcalc all open.
 
The speed was still very good. 
 
After I installed the Netware Requester, it took up some of the RAM, so I
could only run 2-3 apps with good performance. I reduced the DISKCACHE to 128k
from 256K and this helped a bit.
 
But it was very usable thanks to Norton Commmander for OS/2.

I'm not a unix expert. If by "Would a UNIX shell...be close enough?" you mean
the usual tools (ls, cat, awk, grep, gcc, etc.) together with a csh-like shell
then it may be close enough. Stewartson's ms_sh (I modified and uploaded
to ftp-os2.nmsu.edu) is nice; bash may be worth a look (I use bash on the
sparc, and the OS/2 bash does some scripts which break ms_sh, but I can't
seem to get the bash setup correct on OS/2); Rommel recently uploaded an
alpha release of ksh (I don't know much about ksh); Flowers (Oberon Soft)
has f-shell (I don't know much about this either).

You will be missing file links. You must use HPFS if you wish to be UNIX-like.
Get the stuff in pub/os2/2.0/unix/gnu/, GNU emacs, and EMX/gcc, and decide
for yourself.
