Distribution: world

I remember that I have seen here references to the WinOS2 3.1 beta
file manager problem (it hangs the system) and how to possibly solve
it. I can't find that article any longer, can someone please repeat
how to solve that. Not that I need the file manager that urgently :-)
but I just want to know because I have someone here who would like to
use it on his system ...

Thanks,
Kai Uwe Rommel

    I tend to disagree with the trend this discussion is taking. TCP/IP
1.2.1 from os/2 is a wonderful program. there is NO other platform in
the world that will run X, os/2, windows, and dos programs for $2500
including hardware software and the entire ball of wax.

    While it doesn't outrun the DecStation 5000s in our clusters in X
performance, with my token ring connection and 486/33 w 8megs, I get
more than satisfactory performance. No I won't do any real time graphics
on this baby but for most X applications it is satisfactory.

    You should notice that by saying that it is as bad as you are you
are discouraging future tcpip/X buyers by exxagerating the slowness. I
have often had 4 or 5 seperate x applications running along with word
for windoze 2.0 and an os/2 command shell and had my swapfile as low as
7megs.

There is no native printer driver for the IBM 3812.  You have to use the
IBM Graphics Printer driver, IBM5152.DRV.  This is not shipped with OS/2 2.0
but can be obtained from various sources:

    * Compuserve, Forum OS2SUPPORT, lib 17
    * NSC BBS in Atlanta, 1-404-988-2790
    * OS/2 BBS            1-800-547-1283
    * possibly by anonymous FTP from software.watson.ibm.com
    * in US, the OS/2 Support Line, 1-800-237-5511

Having said all that, I have seen reports that the Epson 9 pin driver works
better than the IBM5152 driver, but I cannot confirm this, or deny it for that
matter.

Finally, I have the source code for a Windows driver for 3812/3816 which I
propose to convert to an OS/2 driver at some time.  Finding the time is
difficult at the moment though.

Check with your IBM SE, but PCOM3270 version 2 should work with either a 
1.3EE or a 2.0/1.0ES gateway. As long as the LAN allows 802.2. I had some 
trouble going the other way, a Pcom3270 gateway and an OS/2 2.0 station,

I just installed the service pack that Ibm is shipping . I was using
te2_120 with no problems with the old compak2.dll, and the os2 2.o GA version. 
I believe it was the origional .dll version 1.0??? Well since I was installing
the service pack I decieded to install the new .dll what could it hurt right...
Well I found version of compak2.dll 1.02 in te2_120.zip on 
hobbes and deceided to put that version in my \com directory. Well I got a 
program fault upon uploading some files to a friends bbs using my (new) setup.
My question is should I have used and copied all the te2 files and just kept 
the .ini file so that I would have my old settings or could it be the service 
pack.... Anyone have similiar problems... of course this could be a one time 
strange occurance... but I really don't believe in them.....

Have you tried running it in a WIN-OS2 real-mode session.  I remember
that Excel 2.1 had problems with Windows 3.0 in standard mode as well.

I doubt you'll have much luck with my next suggestion, but Excel 2.1
did exist as an OS/2 app.  Maybe MS has a spare copy lying around that
they could send you.

It is a Service Pak.

Read the README -- it should be available as a separate file in the
same spot.  It will explain all.

The SPG3* files are the 3.5 inch diskette images.  The SPG5* files are
the 5.25 inch diskette images.  You only need one set -- the one
matching your Drive A (the drive you installed OS/2 from).

Some of Trident's drivers (the 256 color ones, I believe) were

Hi,
   I have tried to unzoo the files for GCC 2.2.2 and encountered problems.
   The first problem is that when I unzoo the include/hdr files, it seemed 
   that subdirectories should be created but it is not created under my OS/2
   2.0.
   The second problem is that when I compile the sample codes,. I encountered
   the problem of the "/" rather than "\" in the include files inside the C++
   files.

   I have OS/2 2.0 installed on HPFS.

   Is there anything that I should do to enable the recognition of "/" in my
   OS/2 2.0 machine and how?


   Thanks a lot !

I'll defer to your reading of the manuals. I don't want anyone to
think that just because I'm at Borland I was more correct when I said
that it does not produce OS/2 apps: This is not in my area of

In fact Excel 3.0 for OS/2 is available, but I'm sure everyone is
aware of that.

It is a well kept secret that Microsoft's cross-grade policies are
actually pretty reasonable.  An upgrade to Word 1.1b for OS/2 is $50
from any Windows version of Word.  An upgrade to Excel 3.0 for OS/2 is
the same, I believe.

Of course, I hope the real mode suggestion works.  (Excel 2.1 is,
frankly, awfully buggy -- there were a few 2.11 and 2.11a releases in
there, I think.)

[stuff deleted that said you need high version numbers of excel]
I've got excel 2.0, dated 1987. It runs like a well-oiled clock.

Has anyone managed to get ispell working with emacs?  The port
of ispell (on ftp-os2.nmsu.edu etc) has an "ispell.el" file, but
it's for the unix version of emacs.

Thanks.

I've been using GTAK 2.0 with the CSD for a while now.  I posted a message
earlier saying that SCSITAPE.DMD caused a trap, but the solution was to
make sure that my Exabyte tape drive was powered up, with a tape inserted,
and ready before OS/2 loads SCSITAPE.DMD.  This seems to fix the problem
for me...I don't know wheter my tape drive is causing the problem (weird
return codes that SCSITAPE can't handle) or it's the driver...
Anyway, this is all I had to do...

By the way, WHY is GTAK 2.0 so much faster than GTAK 1.0?  On my Exabyte
tape drive, GTAK 1.0 takes several hours to back up about 300MB worth
of data.  GTAK 2.0 does it in about 20-30 minutes...  Is it because
the ASPI driver was not used in the later version?  Inquiring minds want
to know!
