I use symbols that are not accessible from the keyboard, except by using
the ALT-<ascii code> method.  Is there some program available that 
makes it possible to change the keyboard configuration to get direct
access to the symbols?

Thanks,

Say I have a 24bit card that only displays 24bit color in 640x480 resolution.
If the card also has a 1024x785x256 color mode and I set it up to that, could
I still see 24bit graphics in a 640x480 size window or do I have to reconfig
and reboot? If the latter, such a card would only be great under DOS since the
operating system is not resolution dependent. Thanks!

Ok here is what you do. First run the Daily Planner applet. You are given
a new blank Daily Planner worksheet. Enter in at least a start and finish
time. Then select save and enter the name you wish to call your work
file. You can then close this program and open up the Monthly Calendar,
select open and then select the file you created earlier. Remember to
use the .$D$ extension to makes things easier.

I've had some luck with this:
1. Absolutely do all the things in the readme file. (I forget what they are
   off hand)

2. Run Civilization in a Fullscreen DOS session.

3. Do NOT attempt to run Civ more than once in the same session (exit the vdm
   and start another).  If you ignore this, the animation during the subsequent
   runs will be horribly slow.

4. Do NOT attempt to create WPS object to launch the game.  I always get the
   Divide by 0 if I attempt that, I gave up creating an object that puts me
   in my ...\games\civ directory and then I type "civ" to start it.  This is
   not so bad considering the "1", "1", "1" that has to follow.

5. The EGA version does not have any problems at all (except that it is not
   fun to play :-).

Enjoy,
  Joe

Sytron claim it does but I would like to confirm with someone actually

FYI the upgrade is $70, for first time buyers it's $295!

I tried the new tseng4000 patch on Hobbes, but ran into an interesting
problem.  Following the advice of a helpful netter, I created another
directory with the new display.dll and put that directory first int
the libpath statement in my config.sys file.  POOF!  Apparently,
the driver is not compatible with my Diamond Speedstar Plus HiColor
board and my screen is transformed into static.  Since, my screen is
completely illegible, it is impossible to delete the offending
line and I'm forced to re-install OS/2.  I even tried using the
installation disk and disk #1 (typing ESC as recommended by the
FAQ) to get a system prompt, and it does work, BUT my hard drive
is not recognized.  

I've already done the re-install, but I sure would be grateful
if someone could clue me into an easier solution for the next
time.

DCF/2 is available, and it does the same thing as Stacker, but under
OS/2 2.0.  It is available for $85 at the educational price.  For
further information take a look at the file dcf2info.txt, available
via anonymous ftp from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu, directory /pub/os2/2.0/info,
I believe.

--------------------
NDD NSC BBS

Subject: System Performance Monitor (OS/2 SPM/2 2.0)
         Beta Program

OVERVIEW

IBM is initiating a Beta program for future versions of
their LAN Systems products.  The software is being made
available solely for the purpose of testing and develop-
ment feedback and should NOT be used in production.

The following product is now available through the
Beta program:

*   OS/2 SPM/2 2.0


SPM/2 2.0 is an integrated package of powerful facilities
that allow you to monitor resources such as CPU, RAM, disk
and more on your local and remote IBM Operating System/2
2.0. SPM/2's ability to graph this resource information
allows you to look at "live" data as well as "prerecorded"
data for any monitored workstation in your LAN.


*   Collects critical resource utilization data: CPU,
    memory, swap file, files, FAT/HPFS cache, physical
    disk, printer, communication port

*   Records performance data to disk for processing at
    a later time

*   Collects data from multiple nodes in a single
    recording session

*   Provides a real-time graphical representation of how
    system resources are being used (CPU, disk, RAM and
    swap activity) as well as the ability to playback
    previously recorded data.

*   Produces detailed resource utilization reports
    (from recorded data) that can be summarized by
    workstation, application, process or thread

*   Provides in-depth OS/2 2.0 memory analysis information
    (including working set and a view of OS/2 control
    blocks)

*   Monitoring of remote OS/2 LAN Requester as well as
    Servers


ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS

To obtain a Beta version of SPM/2 2.0, do one of
the following:

*   In the U.S., call 1-800-IBM-3040 - You will be charged
    $30 for reproduction and distribution costs.

*   Outside the U.S., contact your IBM Marketing
    Representative.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT

Question and answer support for the Beta versions of these
products will be provided by IBM on a "best effort" basis.
Customers can use either CompuServe* or the OS/2 Bulletin
Board System (OS2BBS) for support.

*   CompuServe*

    Type "GO IBMOS2" or "GO OS2DEV" at the ! prompt.  Then
    access the LAN Library section.

*   OS2BBS

    Select "Question and Answer Bulletin Boards" from the
    OS2BBS main menu.  Then select "LAN Systems Beta
    Testing (LSYSBETA)".

For information about registration and access to the IBM
OS/2 BBS, call 1-800-547-1283.

For CompuServe membership information, call 1-800-848-8199.

I did a DIR in the root of my HPFS drive and found to my surprise
that some subdirectories have positive numbers on the first
column to the left (this is usually 0 for both files and dirs).
This column is just next to the filename.

What does this mean?  Incidentally, I saw a CMD file in one of
the subdirectories that has a large (40000+) number in the first
column (it is about 32k in size, as indicated by the second columni).

How about COM1?  Can you shuffle things around?

The point is that COM3 and COM4 were never standardized on the PC, so
if you can stick with standard COM1 and COM2 you're going to be better
off no matter what software you use.

I'm sure this thread has been chased down, though, so I'm sure you're
communicating right now.

Doubtful.  OS/2 virtualizes the keyboard so that such utilities are
not likely to work.

Best bet is to harp on Northgate to update the utility for use under
OS/2 2.0.

I wish. I am not getting anywhere with this problem. COM4 is the ONLY port

Put the VMODE calls you require into AUTOEXEC.BAT - then the monitor will be
set up each time you start a DOS program - including the Windows fullscreen.

Well, something like that.  :-)

If you are (a) using OS/2 communications software; (b) enable hardware
handshaking (in both the modem and the OS/2 side, per the instructions
in the FAQ List) then you should be all set.  I work this way using
HyperAccess/5 with the port locked at 38,400 bps.  The hardware
handshaking is the key, though.  Sometimes the modem can't keep up
with the sending computer, and vice versa.

>Second question: ckermit for OS/2 was _worse_ than kermit for DOS with this

Which version of Kermit are you using?  There are several available
via anonymous ftp from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu (well, at least four) -- give
them all a try.

Also, don't discount PM Terminal, which comes with your OS/2 system.
It has Kermit, XMODEM, and YMODEM, along with keyboard remapping and
superior DEC terminal emulation.

How about recompiling that code for 32 bits using a combination of f2c
and gcc/2 (or emx/gcc), all available from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu?  You'll
get even better results then, I'm sure.

I'm running the Trantor T130B controller, with their OS/2 drivers, attached to
an 88Mb Syquest (that I bought for my Mac). Installation was a bit cryptic,
but it works fine. It's faster than I expected (the Syquest is ~19ms access),
maybe because I tweak up the bus speed using MR BIOS. The Trantor was $129
from Trantor, $109 from DGR (mail-order), and the drivers were free off
their BBS.

486/33, 16Mb RAM, 210Mb IDE, 88Mb Syquest SCSI
