The game hints file on ftp-os2.nmsu.edu suggests running sbfmdrv before
starting Civilization.  It worked for me.  (The hints file gives suggestions
for running games under OS/2; it's at 2.0/info/games10a.txt).

I've found that Civ will crash in a fullscreen session if it's not given 
HW timer on.

  Yes, I had the same problem.  Try commenting out the CDROM stuff, 
  temporarily -- I bet you will now see your tape drive using ASPI.
  At least on my system, the new OS2CDROM.DMD driver hogs all the SCSI
  requests, so the OS2ASPI.DMD never gets a chance.  I reported this to
  Adaptec, but they haven't notified me of a fix yet.  In the mean time
  I went back to the cdrom.sys driver included with OS/2 2.0 GA.

*Ahem* ... there must be more to it than this, I have a couple of DOS apps

DOS but causing confusion at least in OS/2.

     Is this a foregone conclusion, then, that 2.1 will cost $$?

     The overwhelming impression given during the GA promotional 
     offer was that IBM had the 3.1 thing in the bag, and it would 
     be forthcoming as soon as it was tested.  Is it not true that
     IBM licensed the 3.1 code from MS, and provided 3.0 in the GA
     just to get the GA to market while 3.1 frogs were being stomped?

     Please, no conjecture or "show me where it says" replies.  I
     just want to know some facts.

I agree with Garry's suggestion that IBM separate OS/2 2.1 and WinOS/2
3.1 in the forthcoming release.

I've got WinOS/2 3.0 installed on my system. I use it ONLY because
I have AmiPro 2.0. Once AmiPro/2 arrives, WinOS/2 3.0 will be kept
just in case I'm forced to use another WinApp. Uugghh...

I have NO NEED for WinOS/2 3.1. What I DO NEED is OS/2 2.1. 
I would go along if IBM charges to upgrade just OS/2 2.1.
But I'll be damned if I'm going to pay Mickeysoft another dime of 
my money for that joke of an "operating system" they call Windoze.

Please pardon the language of my post but I've had some quite 
unpleasant dealings with the entity.

No, windows 3.1 does not work correctly with OS/2's DPMI.  Win3.1 acts
well as a DPMI server but doesn't work at all as a client mode program. 
Presently, the OS/2 2.1 Beta supports 3.1 standard and 386 enhanced modes.
It is available for free via anonymous FTP on software.watson.ibm.com and
hobbes.nmsu.edu.

They fixed Windows so that it operates correctly as a DPMI client.

I'm having this rather frustrating OS/2 problem:

Whenever I run a DOS program under OS/2, whether its a window or

halt when the DOS application beeps (or uses the speaker in any way.)

Has anyone run into this?  I have a copy of the register dump

In the meantime, if anyone knows a quick solution, I'd be grateful!

I don't know about the original poster, but in my case this doesn't help.  It
has nothing to do with the fonts being unavailable to W4W.  The fonts are
supposed to appear in a listbox below the edit box.  Actually, I believe
that the list box is there, it's just hidden behind the main W4W window.  If
you use the up/down arrow keys, the font name listed in the edit box will
cycle through all font options.

I've seen this behavior from several apps for this type of control.  I think
it's an OS/2 bug, not a bug in the apps.

Organization: University of Missouri - Kansas City
NNTP-Posting-Host: vax1.umkc.edu

Anyone installed WP4W 5.2 on 2.1 beta?  I cannot choose those windoze printer
drivers.  Whenever I choose one of them, it says "Invalid printer file."
When I choose "Update," the message is something like "WIN2WRS.EXE causes
a GP fault" or "Division by zero," etc.  My understanding (maybe wrong) is
that when a windoze printer driver is chosen, the WIN2WRS.EXE in \WPWIN
will make a .WRS file from the .DRV file in ..\WINOS2\SYSTEM for the printer.
WP4W 5.1 can do this flawlessly, but 5.2 can't.

I still remember someone said that WP4W 5.2 was even OS/2 aware, etc., etc.
That's one of the reason that we got the upgrade.  Such claims seem to be
misleading, since my experience tells me that even the installation was full
of trouble.  The ATM 2.5 was quite OK, but both 5.2 itself and Grammatik 5
caused trouble during their installations.  It was the fifth time that I
finally get the Grammatik installed completely, the other tries always being
dead during the processes.

The Fax/PM driver can be chosen and works correctly.

Anyway, I have GTAK, an AHA-1520 SCSI card and an Exabyte 8500 tape

running WPS and everything else normally and hope to set the backup, 
with Cron, to run in the middle of the night, but I can't if this
keeps happening.

*The interesting thing about this hang is that the mouse pointer still
reacts, but I am unable to type into any window or do anything.  I am
running OS/2 2.0+GP.  Does this have something to do with the backing
up of active system files?

I never tried the patch -- so I can't tell you whether it works
reliably.  The patch is not simply an incompatible instruction
-- it is really something much more innocuous -- it is simply a
test to confirm the program is running in protected mode -- the
patch is intended to remove the check.

What I can tell you though is that FrameMaker runs very well on
OS/2 2.1 beta -- a product which is scheduled to be available in
a general release to he public in March 1993.  

You could apply the patch -- shouldn't be any problem -- or wait
for OS/2 2.1 GA release in March 1993.

Well, to be fair, they did write Windows 3.1 which is part of OS2.1
