Keywords: OS/2 DVISCR TeX EmTeX graphics
Organization: Physics Dept. The University of Queensland
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 1992 00:52:19 GMT

I am running OS/2 v2.0 on a 25MHz 386 with 8M RAM, AMI BIOS, and a
TRIDENT SVGA graphics card with 1M RAM.  I have recently installed
EmTeX, and it all seems to be working except for DVISCR.  It works if I
manually select CGA mode, but if set for automatic graphics-mode
selection, or if set to an EGA or VGA mode, it gives the following error:

2520: **** graphics mode not supported .

OS/2 uses 800x600 SVGA mode as I currently have it set up.  I don't
understand why DVISCR cannot get the card to run in any mode other than
CGA emulation.  Would anyone know if it is due to the virtualisation of
the screen under OS/2?  I read in the documentation that it should be 
possible to set explicit parameters for the screen mode, and 
unfortunately there are no supplied parameters for the TRIDENT SVGA.  
Is it just that I need the correct values for AX and BX for the INT 10 
interrupt?  If so, does anyone know what they should be for the TRIDENT 
card (my documentation doesn't mention anything on this level).

	Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can give me in this.

I'm writing an OS/2 2.0 application which makes use of the IBM LAN
Dynamic Link Routine (CCB2) Interface to the IBM Token Ring. I'm
having a trouble with the DIR.SET.GROUP.ADDRESS (hex 06) command
(all other CCB commands seem to be executing OK). The 06 command
is always returning me an error code of hex 54 (Invalid System Key
code). I'm not setting the PROTOCOL.INI System Key, so I thought
(according to the IBM documentation) it should default to X'0'.
However, it does not seem to be the case. I've tried ALL possible
system key values (0 to X'FFFF', it's just a short value), but to
no avail. I've tried to setup various 'system_key' values in the 
Token Ring section of the PROTOCOL.INI file, and specify the matching
value in my program, but again, no luck...

The IBM LAN Reference Manual claims that "this command can only be
issued by a system administrator using the System Key as defined by
the configuration parameters". OK, I know the System Key, but it
does not seem to have any affect. Should my application obtain some
kind of privilege to become a "system administrator"? Any other
ideas what might be wrong? I'd appreciate any kind of input since it's
a very urgent and important problem for me indeed.

Thank you in advance,

This shouldn't have anything to do with it, but %f is for float types.  You

I don't know if this is your problem, but there is
a bug in the documentation: to have DosDevIOCtl prototyped,
you need INCL_DOSDEVICES and not INCL_DOSPROCESS.
I strongly recommend that you always compile with /Kb to
find all non-prototyped functions...
IO CTLs are documented in "Physical Device Driver Reference".

Distribution: comp
Organization: UNC Department of Computer Science

A few days ago I posted about a problem with sticky scroll bar controls;
since then I have had some offers of help --- if I could provide source
code. So I sliced, I diced, I simplified and I created mini.c, a little
program which displays a small square of colored squares and allows you to
size the frame and scroll the image. It is a few hundred lines long, so
instead of boring everyone and their brother with it it is available for
ftp from ftp.cs.unc.edu in /pub/ladd/mini.zoo. The archive contains my make
file as well as the mindless, yet oddly behaving code.

While I am on the subject, there is an almost fix in the code (compile it
with FIX defined to see the difference) where the actual scrolling only
happens upon receipt of SBM_ENDSCROLL messages; this is ALMOST
satisfactory: it does not allow me to actually hold down MB1 and scroll, a
line at a time, from the bottom to the top. I must release the MB and THEN
it scrolls, however many lines it registered as having been pressed.

Again, any assistance is greatly appreciated. -bcl

I know that Microsoft's MASM 6.0 comes with a file which has all the OS/2 1.x
calls in it so you can create OS/2 1.x programs.  Is there any way to get
Borland's Turbo Assembler to do the same thing?

I suppose it would be possible to lay down the calls, but the hard part would
be getting it to create an .EXE file that OS/2 can run.  Is there a utility
that let's you create a DOS-type .EXE file (but with OS/2 calls) and change
it into an OS/2 .EXE program?

What about letting you create 32-bit programs?

You were not very clear about what sort of program you were writing.
The Rexx language included with OS/2 could assemble such info for
you by scanning all possible drive letters a-Z with the SysDriveInfo
function. Look in the Info folder within the Rexx book in the
RexUtils section. There are lots of useful functions in it and I
would expect the list to expand in the future.

I have a few, hopefully basic, questions about multithreaded processes:

        2)  Can ANY thread in a process create its own queue(s)?

        3)  In C++, I assume that I need to have a function that does
            object instatiation, and that there is no library function
            that allows you to instantiate an object as a thread (via
            its constructor)?

I'm using TE/2 to dial in to a sun machine. The only thing
stopping me from registering is that I can't get zmodem
downloads working properly yet. The suns are running
sz on their side. When I try sz file.txt everything works fine
but sz file.zoo causes a bunch of retries and eventually
aborts. My sys admin says the correct approach is to use
sz -e file.zoo with Telix under DOS and to forget TE/2 :(.
My understanding is that the -e (escape everything) option
lets the recieving zmodem program know that a binary file is
incoming. So sz -e file.zoo should work under TE/2 _but_ this
causes TE/2 to abort right away for me. 

Any one know if I should try to get something other than sz
on the sun side or if I am simply doing somthing stupid? Is
this a bug in TE/2?

It can even backup (with EA's and compression) to floppy disks, at least
the version I have, can do so.

And GTAK *allows* this. People with fancy PM backup programs (such as
SYTOS Plus) will have problems doing that :-). Even if one could backup
all files from the running system, it may be a better idea doing it from
a boot floppy, because this way the system is saved in a consistent
(shutdown) state. Restoring it later (also from a boot floppy) onto a
new disk should deliver a ready-to-run system.

The GTAK software has one nice feature (available only with Tandberg
streamers and SCSI-2 streamers), it allows to pick single files off
large tapes (I have a 1GB drive) with direct access.

I'm not sure.  I know that "gcc hello.c" won't work, though, since gcc
doesn't link anything.  Try this:

$ gcc -c hello.c
$ link386 hello.obj ;

See if that works.

The only really tricky part of the interface is the dial type controls in 
"color edit".  They are custom xv items, not from a toolkit.  It would 
be a nice package to have but it would be a *very* big project.

Perhaps it would be better to start with Wingif which is a reasonable
image tool and extend its features to match xv.  The problem there is 
talking the wingif author out of his code.

Okay, my wife indicated today that she wants a fax modem in her computer.
Now we're expecting to OS/2icize that machine this fall (shortly after the

Any recommendations as to what I should look to get or avoid in terms of
either name brands or hardware specs?  Price is definitely a consideration, 
but so is performance, as most of the faxing & phone calls, both incoming

P.S.  She has a 486-33, ISA bus.  We're planning to have 8 Meg RAM and

	Use two switches for starting and ending lines eg.:

	to get a cursor that is still `underline' style but larger.

	Mail me a message and I will send you a customization package
	that will map alt keys to most (not all) of the meta keys.

	You can't, but be patient as the next release of OS/2 Emacs will
	have this feature. In the meantime both F12 and ESC-space work.
