	The neverending modem saga under OS/2 continues!  I am running
a modem with a 16450 (v.32 bis) under OS/2.  I was using TE/2 tonite
and something happended which may give us some insight into my
probelm.  Modem on Com 3.  Set the mode using the "mode" command, I
think I have the syntax right.  loaded TE/2, started a session.  Modem
dials OK.  Everything is fine.  Great.  Start donwloading a file.
Everthing great.   Swap out.  Something funny happens.  OS/2 seems not
to respond, but I realized that it is actually running VERY slowly.
Can't quickly access anything.  Go back into TE/2.  Try to abort
transfer but don't know how.  Wait.  TE/2 finally wakes up an realizes
it has no file.  Te/2 froze on the exact block as when I switched out,
and then went haywire. Seems it froze the system.  SO what is it,
folks-- interrupt conflict?  I've had no other problems, and so long
as I stay WITH the session, things are OK. 
 
	This is frustrating for me because I was able to BG transfer
with Procomm + for Windoze perfectly well!  What's my problem now?
Strange strange strange and very annoying.

Well, no.  The Always IN-2000 presently works under OS/2 2.0 using the
IBMINT13.I13 driver.  But that does not provide support for CD-ROM.
Corel may have come up with something by now -- you might want to ask
them.  Also, I would ask Always -- they should work with IBM to
produce a driver.

Well, more mem will help, but I have 16 MB and the first kernel fix for 2.0 GA
and get a 'Memory or disk error' when trying to copy to the WIN-OS2 clipboard
when it is set to 'PUBLIC'.  Setting to 'PRIVATE' is the only way to get a
copy.

Sorry to say, but A LOT of clone buyers got exactly what they paid for:
manufacturers cut every corner possible and now its starting to show in
flakiness.  Sure, os/2 does have "features," but a lot of problems can be
traced to BIOS, CACHE MEMORY, DISK CONTROLLERS, VIDEO as well.


Just my $0.02 worth.

There was some metion of Deskpic causing the INI file to grow.
I don't think this is the case as I no longer use Deskpic, but OS2SYS.INI
grows to several meg in a few days.

Who cares how much disk space it takes....I'm tired of people complaining how
much space development tools take!!.  These are not hobbyist toys we're talking
about.  Most serious developers I know don't seem to mind how big tools are 
as long as the are good.

As for generating various type of apps, if you want an os/2 app, get an os/2
compiler.  If you want a do app get a dos compiler.  If you want a windoze
app get a windoze compiler.  If you want a *nix  app etc.......

This problem occurs if the dos sesson cannot write to the disk.

Check to see if the Dos sessions are set up with a wierd working directory.

This usually occurs because you have an extra video driver in your
CONFIG.SYS file.  Here are some hypothetical CONFIG.SYS lines.


SET VIDEO_DEVICES=VIO_SVGA
SET VIO_SVGA=DEVICE(BVHVGA,BVHSVGA)
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VVGA.SYS
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VSVGA.SYS    

If you CONFIG.SYS looks like this, and you want SVGA device support in DOS
sessions, delete the DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VVGA.SYS lin.  Your CONFIG.SYS will
look like this if you are using the Service Pack.

If you're not using the Service Pack, your CONFIG.SYS will look like this:

SET VIDEO_DEVICES=VIO_VGA
SET VIO_VGA=DEVICE(BVHVGA,BVHSVGA)
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VVGA.SYS
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VSVGA.SYS

Again, the same thing applies.  Delete the VVGA.SYS line.  OS/2 ignores
multiple virtual video drivers (unless you're using 8514/A in which case
you can have a V8514A.SYS line and a VVGA.SYS or VSVGA.SYS line).

Hope this helps.

Are you using VMODE?  If so, try setting up a custom monitor (the CUSTOM

Obtain (and use) the beta DeskJet OS/2 driver, available via anonymous
ftp from software.watson.ibm.com.  If you continue to have form feed
problems, go into the print object's settings and change Form Feed
from Conditional to None.

(These drivers generally deliver better results than the stock DeskJet
driver that ships with every OS/2 package.)

Thanks, Timothy, and thanks to all who replied to me via e-mail. It
just didn't pop into my mind that the file I was looking for would be
_available_ in an _upload_directory_.  (Couldn't happen at
nic.funet.fi ;-).

In a previous message you said that the generic driver wouldn't work
with 'accelerated' cards. It's pretty unclear to me what WD really
means by 'accelerated'; my vendor said that this 90C30-based card is
accelerated and it is fast indeed - but the generic driver works!
Thanks to all who helped, especially the author of the package.

Of course, now I'm waiting for a 1024x768 driver with seamless Windows
support, but that's another cake ;-)

One problem remains: OS/2 full screen sessions won't work with this
driver (SVGA has to be ON, and with OS/2 FS sessions the display loses
sync - strangely, this does not happen with DOS full screen sessions.
Any ideas what I should do?

Borland C++ 3.1 for DOS has maximum size of 42,48, or 57 megs,

This includes up to three compilers (command line, integrated, and the

a good 25 megs with the ObjectWindows package.  There is also the

I too have an SVGA card with a WD chipset, so I decided to give them a call
to lobby for drivers.  Well, the guy on the line said that they are not
working on the drivers (as already reported), but he insisted that they were
"in close communication with IBM" and that IBM is writing drivers for the
Paradise card.  I questioned him again because I've seen other claims that
this isn't true, but he stuck to his story.  Can anyone help disentangle this
riddle?

Also, I looked for the vga800-1 "generic" SVGA driver on ftp-os2, and couldn't
find anything with a name like that.  Whoever knows, please verify that it
exists and let us know where to find it.

One drawback is that some people (me for example) leave my computer on for

IBM and it will work in Microchannel machines only.  We're first out of
