GTAK 2.01b used with the p-Option suffers a bug introduced by the OS/2
Service Pack related to EA handling (the same bug that urged Kai Uwe
Rommel to find a work around for the ZIP/UNZIP stuff acting wierd on
files with EAs).  This is known to the author (Andreas Kaiser) and as
far as I know Andreas already found a workaround.  I am sure as soon
as he thinks it is alright he will post a fixed GTAK (along with
several enhancements I was told).

Actually, you can control it's existence by the MEMMAN parameter. If you make
it NOSWAP, it will only use the real memory in your system. However, if you
run out of memory, you're in trouble. Since most systems use the swapper (even
mine with 14Mb), you can run out of room real quick.

I'm running the 2.1 beta and have found it uses less memory and swapper than
previous version. This is still a beta, though.

Subject: Slow printing in full screen WIN-OS2

Article-I.D.: shelley.1iv1ncINNc5b
Distribution: world
Organization: University of Washington, Seattle
NNTP-Posting-Host: stein.u.washington.edu

I've had real problems with printing in WIN-OS2.  After giving the command
to print in any Windows app (Write 3.0, Winword 1.1, Excel 2.1), the first
page appears to spool, and then stop (I have Print Manager disabled,
according to suggestions in FAQ, so the OS/2 spooler should take over). 
Printing begins, the print counter in the application stops at page 2 and
waits for the first page to print.  Then the second page begins to print,
but doesn't spool--the application print counter stays on page 2 until it
slowly prints and exits the printer. 

My hardware is an IBM model 70 (16mHz) with 6Mb of RAM and 60Mb hard disk.
The printer is a HP DeskJet Plus using the supplied printer driver for
WIN-OS2 and the beta driver for OS/2.  I'm using OS/2 2.0 with the service
pack installed--note that the same problem occurred _before_ I installed
the service pack.

What I'd like to happen is for the WIN-OS2 print job to spool out and
return control of the system.  I know the OS/2 print spooler is working
'cause this is what occurs when I use MS Word 5.0 as an OS/2 app.

I hope the answer isn't "get more memory", because to expand this system
I'd have to buy an expansion card in addition to SIMMS--I'm trying to save
my $$ for a new system.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Larry

I've been very impressed with Sytos Plus for OS/2 2.0. I have a Wangtek 60M
tape drive with a Wangtek PC36 controller card.

It achieves about 4Mb/minute transfer rate and doesn't seem to slow other
windows much.

I've never had a need to reformat a tape just to get it would work with Sytos
Plus.

I think the tape drive/controller setup is going to affect the backup speed
as much or more than the software used.

There is a known bug with this and OS/2 as far as DPMI goes.  Disable DPMI
supposedly fixes this.  Unfortunatley for me, it still hangs my system 
(C-A-D won't even reboot, have to hit hard reset..ouch) so I gave up on it
for now.  I'll stick with InfoZip

until the 15th of Jan.. After that both international and US prices will
be $129. As soon as version 1.1 is released ver. 1.2 will be going into beta.
As to what features are different, I don't know because I didn't ask.

Also, I will Proportional Software's represenative on Usenet. As I get

If you're really interested in a screen saver so the phosphorus won't burn
out on the CRTs left overnight (as opposed to aesthetical desire for
cutesy flying toasters), the PM Workplace's LOCKUP feature has been serving
us nicely.

To activate:  click the right button on the desktop, go to open settings,
go to lockup (the last tab).

Tell the system to lock up after 10 minutes of inactivity, specify
some obvious password, and no background picture.

If a machine is left unattended, the screen will eventually go black,
with a little padlock floating around it.  Unlike some screen savers you
must type a password, rather than just press a key, but it can be something
easy to type, like 1 letter.

Can't beat the price and it doesn't need any installation. :)

Yes, it works for me. Try disabling the DPMI in the DOS session by
setting the amount of DPMI memory to zero. Not that this problem is
not specific to OS/2, it can appear in Windows 3.x enhanced mode DOS
sessions as well.

Several.

All the DOS and Windows ones work fine, first off.

Then there's Word 5.5 (which runs under both DOS and native OS/2),
Word 1.1b for Presentation Manager, IBM DisplayWrite 5/2, WordPerfect
5.0 for OS/2, and perhaps a couple others.

The best right now is DeScribe 4.0 for OS/2.  (Spinnaker's PFS:Works
and N/Joy are also available for OS/2, and they include word
processors, but they are really integrated packages.)  AmiPro and
CA-Textor are slated for early this year; WordPerfect is due out, too,
although it isn't clear when they will ship.

I have been reluctant to spend much time getting to know EPM
because it runs only in the Work Place Shell.  Does anyone
know anything about E3 and its availability?

   : Is there better vdisk than the one that comes with os/2 2.0?

   : I mean vdisk that is swappable
   : I have 17 MB ram and if I make 10 MB vdisk my machine slows down quite
   : a bit with multiple big programs.

   have you tried using a big disk cache instead?

Yes I have tried 512 Kb and 1024 KB cache for fat and for hpfs but
Query Manager writes directly to disk without using cache.
I think there is a parameter in file-open that prohibits the use of
diskcache.

It's been almost a week since I posted the above request.  I received
a few emails suggesting programs like deskpic, yowza or scrutil.
Unfortunately, none of them will activate when a full screen
application is running in the foreground.

I am planning to add a CD-ROM to my new system RSN. I want to be able 
to run CD-ROM sound stuff (like soundblaster-type apps?), use CD-ROM 
data bases, etc. What will I need in order to run such apps besides the 
CD-ROM drive and SCSI daisy chain? Do I need a soundblaster card, or
something else, and will I need software other than or in addition to 
OS/2 MMPI stuff? Where can I read up on this? TIA!
