	Dear OS/2 2.0 users,
		I have a couple of problems with my os/2 2.0 and I was hoping
some kind soul would help me out ...Please e-mail if at all possible as
I don't rn a lot anymore.. I will post any and all responses I receive..
If u have to post however then post and I will try to find your reply..anyways
here are my 3 problems:
 
1.  Qmodem and os/2 2.0 - I have a 16550 UART and I have used the mode com1:
38400,,,,rts=hs but I feel that there may be something wrong with my DOS 
settings can someone please give me the ideal DOS settings for Qmodem?

2.  Colorado 250 MB tape backup-  A while back (about 3 months) someone
posted the ideal settings to get the tape.exe software to work well with os/2 
2.0 I saved the file but accidentally lost it can someone please re=post or 
tell me what the perfect settings for a dos tape-backup program to work right 
with os/2 2.0?

3.  VGA probs.. I have a Trident 8900c VGA card w/1 MB and I have installed
the 800x600x16c with seamless windows support and it works great except when
I use ALT-HOME to make a window take up the full screen and then use alt-home
again to make the screen smaller and then use it a third time to make it full
screen again it messes up my display (it comes up with a insect view of the screen or a fisheye lens view, it has the same screen but copied about 4 times
and strewn across the 4 corners of my monitor-not a pretty sight). I tried vgasync but with no luck...

PS. My system is a 386-33 w/212MB HD ( a 110 Meg dos partition and a 90 Meg 
HPFS) ...Oh yeah I have also installed all the trid_fixes and the kernl 
update and every relevant patch I could find...Oh yeah does anyone know when
the CSD is going to come out?????

Thank you for reading,

My friend just came here and said that his "old" DOS chess program call
CYRUS will not work on any machines he tried (probably mostly MS-DOS 4 to
MS-DOS 5.0). This CYRUS program is probably 4 years old. I tried on my PC
with MS-DOS 5.0, sure enough it doesn't work properly. Starting under
full screen DOS session work without any problem! So, I am convinced that
OS/2 is a better DOS than MS-DOS!!! Now what about Windows 3.1 .......
.... I am still waiting.

Hold down the shift key when you resize the window - OS/2 will
remember the setting.  Note that this applies to all sessions, though.

I have placed a DOS program, sit.com in the file sit2.zip on
ftp-os2.nmsu.edu that can break this 127 character limit.  Simply run:
sit path+=;varlist....
as many times as necessary to build your DOS path past the 127
limit.  This is a free DOS program that works under OS/2's DOS emulation

I am using PC/DACS for OS/2 with 2.0 and so far no problems with
software conflicts of any kind.  We have it on a model 90 with
Lan Server Entry, DCC/2, and Comm Manager running.  The install
is easy and flawless and you can password protect your boot disk
so even if someone uses that they have to know the password.  If
you boot with just any old disk you have access to drive A and
that is it.  You get the DEVICE NOT FOUND error.  If you lose
or damage your boot disk you can disable boot protection (assuming
you can access the hard drive) and then create another when you
re-enable boot protection.  I have not tried booting from A and
using the PC/DACS install isks to try to access the system, but,
I suspect it won't work.

It depends.  What are you going to do with that thing after you uudecode it?
If you're just going to run it right away, that's as big an opportunity as
running it straight off the net.  But if you're not going to run it (e.g. it's
a star trek parody), then you're right, it's foolish to run a self-extracting
program.

Well, I have a 80486 that runs at 33 Mhz and has 16 Megabytes of RAM installed
on it.  I use 9600 baud with v.32 v.42bis as well.

Anyway, my system will "trash" a transfer if I am doing just about anything
else at the same time.  First I was using a Windows term program because
I liked it.  But that didn't do background downloads as I had hoped.  So
I switched to TE/2 and stepped the priority all the way to the top!  Now
I get the same problem, it just takes longer for it to occur, though.

Oh, and I use YModem-G with 1K packets whenever possible.  But if I go with
just YModem and 1K packets, I don't have this  problem, but transfers take
approximately twice as long.  No fun at all.

Subject: How to use se20boot & UNDELETE ??
Organization: TC Telemanagement, Clearwater, FL
Distribution: usa
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 1992 15:31:23 GMT

I have two 'how to' questions, so I put them together into this one post. 

1) There is a shareware OS/2 application called se20boot, which is
   supposed to make OS/2 bootable disk.  I have the se20boot.zoo file
   with the following contents.

	Archive se20boot.zoo:
	Length    CF  Size Now  Date      Time
	--------  --- --------  --------- --------
	    3868  61%     1505  17 Jul 92 14:46:16     license.txt
	    4669  63%     1725  21 Aug 92 08:33:12     se20boot.abs
	   28459  45%    15537  20 Aug 92 14:27:52     se20boot.exe
	   16504  73%     4428  18 Aug 92 08:36:52     seb_sys.ini
	    4437  55%     2013  18 Aug 92 12:28:30     seb_user.ini
	--------  --- --------  --------- --------
	   57937  57%    25208     5 files

   Note that there is no documentation.  I want to make a bootable
   floppy on my A: drive.  How is this done.  I started to run 
   se20boot.exe from an OS/2 command line, and it asked me to insert my
   installation disk 0.   WHY ??  It should not need my installation diskettes
   when I'm running it on a OS/2 system on the harddisk.  Besides the 
   destination is the A: drive.  How does this program work ??

2) OS/2 documents an UNDELETE command and an associated DELDIR setting 
   in config.sys.  The installation put a DELDIR line in my config.sys
   commented out (with REM).  I removed the REM and created the directory
   mentioned (C:\DELETE).  I rebooted, and then removed a file.  Nothing 
   was in the c:\delete directory (the on-line documentation says my file
   should have been copied there).  I ran UNDELETE which said that the
   the facility was not enabled (I don't recall the exact error message).
   DOES THIS FEATURE WORK ?? AND HOW ??


Please respond via e-mail, not with followup messages to the net, 
as I may miss those.

does it have any way to support an internet connection? I'd like to run

The OS/2 path can be quite long, but the path your dos boxes see is
still a DOS path, and is limited to 120-odd characters.  I suggest you
run a batch file at the beginning of your DOS box startup that does
SUBST commands and builds your DOS path from those.

This is practically the *standard* way programs get distributed to
"low end" users of personal computers. Lots of stuff for the PC comes
as an EXE or COM file that when run extracts the archive hidden 
inside the file. Me, I use a program that strips off the extractor on
most of these and leaves me with an archive that I can process through
a more trusted program.

For that matter, I also own a machine with the OS (MS-DOS) in ROM. If
I'm feeling *really* paranoid, I boot it from the ROM, and use software
from write protected disks to extract the new files (I reserve this
degree of paranoia for things like new releases of antivirus software)

Someone sent me E-mail suggesting replacing winhelp.exe with winhelp.exe from
Windows 3.1. Assuming you have access to the file, this seems like a better
solution as _all_ winhelp ver 3.1 help files will then be accessable and you
maintain the benifit of d{sk space savings.

A port of Ispell for OS/2 2.0 was announced by Huber very recently. This
is a beta, and appeared at ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.  A message from the sysop
said that some of pub/downloads had to be moved due to space, so I am not
sure that ispell is still there. 

I only briefly tested, and I am not familiar with Ispell. Look for 
isp3009b.zoo.
