Do you have two monitors attached to your system?  The biggest cause of
this problem was the dual monitor situation (from what I understand).

If your primary display is VGA, the following solution should work.

If this is situation, boot from a floppy.  Change your directory to 
your C:\OS2.  Stick in disk 13 from the service pack (display driver 1)
and run UNPACK on the following files:

VGA
WINVGA
IBMVGA32.DL_
DSPRES.DL_

That should do it...(hopefully).

Here's a question tho..  Does it work with Colorado's tape accelerators?

For those who are interested, I downloaded Lotus' DECMPS.EXE from their BBS
the other day.  It is a Windows front end for decompressing their *.CMZ
files.  Thus, you can use this to manually extract the Ami Pro helps (or
anything else that may be compressed).

I asked the fellow I spoke with at Lotus Word Processing Division Technical
Support if I could place it on the Internet (along with some other Ami Pro
fixes), but he didn't think I should do it.

So, if you'd like this, I suppose I can uuencode it and mail it to people.
Please don't swamp me with requests, though :-)

    I had the oppertunity to check out an IBM thinkpad 700c today. I was
    surprised that it did *not* have OS/2 installed. It was brand new, and had
    only DOS and some directories specific to the 700c.

    The color display was quite impressive, although the 'mouse' is extremely
    different. Its is a little red *thing* that sticks up from the middle of
    the keyboard.

    OS/2 would hae run extremely well on this machine. 'Tis a pitty that IBM
    did not bundle it.

    If it was our demo, I would through OS/2 on it and play. Has anyone done
    such a thing?

Another problem, I believe, is font conversions.  I think this is why
the X3270 client is not usable.  You'd think Blue would maximize the

	It's been years since I used the DOS version.  What's "keys"?
It's close to the DOS version I vaguely remember.  I have read that it
doesn't have the non ASCII views (123, WP, etc) available.

Having used it 5 minutes (but I have to go now, so I don't have more
time to experiment), I say it's nice.  A glorified file manager.

I have just received NC for OS/2.  It is strictly a PM app.  No full 
screen that I can find.  Its font capability is meager: one font, 2 sizes.
Otherwise it seems to be the same as the DOS version, but with buttons
as well as Function keys.  It behaves the same way.  As far as I can see it's
a fairly straight port, with a few bells and whistles added.

    Hi folks,

        A couple days ago, someone posted an email address for Borland. I
        wrote them imedialtely, asking about Pascal. Much to my surprise, they
        responded the next day, thanking my for my comments, and saying Pascal
        was not being developed at this time.

        I read this as if more people want it, you might get it.


        I followed up by saying Pascal was really just a dream, until OS/2
        takes off. I want the C (as do many), and I want QPro. Qpro for
        windows I see as a waste. The 3-d effect is nice, but I have always
        used the DOS version efficiently. I think a PM verion would be
        incredible.

        They haven't answered that one yet. ANyone care about the response??

        THe moral is; if you really want a product, keep moaning to them to
        get it to the market.

        BTW, does anyone know of an address for Lotus? I am curious as to the
        possibly status of Organizer. SOmeone recomended this product to me,
        but I don't want to have to go into windows to look at my organizer...

I got a FAX a few weeks ago from Wolfram. They said the OS/2 version

Upgrades from DOS/Win 2.0 to DOS 2.1 (runs under OS/2) are $75.  This

F 1 and U 1 handles are explained in the M2Zmodem docs. You will have to
find the correct handles for your DOS program.
I simply stated how to make CKERMIT work with M2ZMODEM for zmodem
transfers.
BTW, what DOS program did you try it with? Both Ckermit and M2zmodem 
are OS/2 programs as you know. I do not know if Ckermit can give up
the COM port to a DOS program such as DSZMODEM. M2zmodem is very good.
Give it a try.

I have the GA+SP. PMDraw2 worked fine after i migrated it. At first it was
under the 16-bit trident drivers at 800x600x16. Now it is at 1024x768x256 with
the 32-bit Trident drivers.  

What version of OS/2 are you running?

: ???? You cannot "connect" until you "dial". Look at ckermit.ini. Make sure
: it has your modem listed in 'set modem' and check the 'set port'. Then
: do 'dial 123-4567' to dial. Then do connect.  Read ckoker.doc (packaged

Darrel,

Thank you very much for your advise.
and ???? to you: In C-Kermit 179 (and in the MS-kermits I've been using)
you actually (c)onnect before you dial (or so I did 2 min ago). Ver 188,
however, seems to work differently.

"Dial number" works OK up to point it says CONNECT (baud). Right
after the connection is established it bluntly tells "CALL COMPLETE" 
and hangs up back to the C-kermit prompt. I don't find anything in my
ckermit.ini file that should cause this. And like I said in my previous post,
the same ini file works fine with the "beta" C-Kermit 179 (which I'm 
unfortunately still using). What am I doing wrong?

I'm sorry if my questions are silly. I'm just stuck with old ways of using
kermit and I wonder why they've changed it so much between versions 179
and 188. Mind you, it may be a change for the better.

Olli
