The only OS2ASPI.DMD currently available does NOT support Win-OS/2 or
DOS sessions under OS/2 2.0. A virtual ASPI manager is required for that
support. One may be available in the future to handle this.

FrameMaker will support multiple files as easily as a single file for all the 
above operations.  It does not require that the files first be combined into a 
single file.  Instead, you create a book that refers to all the files in your
complete document, and generate TOCs, indices, etc. on the entire book.

Yes. Works just fine on my 486-33 w Trident 8900c video card.
And with my Soundblaster card.

Settings. Nothing exotic. Pretty much all default. Only ones you
should want or need to fool with would be:

Video_Retrace_Emulation   mine is  ON, your milage may differ. play withIT
Video_ROM_Emulation    Mine is OFF

The rest are default. Except for Background execution of course.

Great flight sim. Works fine under OS/2 here. I've had zero
problems. By the way, tell your freind to get the 1.2 ACes upgrade from
the Sierra BBS. The 1.2 upgrade improves flight dynamics and
fixes some cosmetic and other bugs. Worthwhile upgrade.

I'm not sure it can do this.  You may have to write a REXX script or some such
thing.  I'm really kind of shocked that they would leave this feature out.
Anyone else know how to add it?

All the MMPM/2 Toolkit programming information is on the PDK CD-ROM,
so some enterprising programmer might want to tackle this one.

We must be thinking on the same wavelength, because I had a great idea
for a hardware device.  Someone should come up with a tape drive that
does both 8mm Hi8 video and 8mm tape backup.  The technologies are
very similar -- one would have to combine both in the same deck,
that's all.

Great for road presentations, I would think.

I believe I heard from someone in this group (or another comp.os.os2.* group)  
that IBM was working on client software for PMX.  Can anyone confirm this?   
PMX does work, but not usually.  I have really had problems with it because  
it work work for a minute, then the next minute everything hangs and I can't  
type anything for about 2 minutes, then suddenly everything I typed comes  
rushing in and everything starts to go again.  It just cycles between working  
(but slowly) and nothing happening at all!

No, It's PM, but it's pretty quick.  Also...NO 550 file per window limitation.

Pretty much the same keys and pulldown menus, but overall a loss of 
functionality.  To name a view:

1)	Lack of various file viewers.  Text and Hex are only supported in
	this release.  Who knows what else they are planning.

2)	No "extension" file.  You can't (with NC) associate all .ZIP files
	with a particular command, for example.

3)	No ability to specify OS/2 command shell you wish to use.  I use 4os2
	but NC, when starting a shell, starts CMD.EXE.  I even have the
	correct environment variables set in my CONFIG.SYS.  Go figure.

4)	No MCI Mail...but that didn't matter to me...so...

5)	No ability to set up an exernal file viewer, either.  This would
	be nice, but isn't in the DOS version either.  I just don't like
	the internal viewer as much as, for example, LISTOS2.  This 
	could be handled by bringing in the extension file stuff.

The nice thing is, it can be configured to look more like the Desktop for
DOS product (although, I prefer the Commander look and feel).  Also, it
is MUCH faster than the WPS drives stuff.  And I do mean MUCH faster.
I think it's worth it for that alone, if you like viewing your files/dirs
in a list and using it for copying, moving and just "seeing" your stuff.

Overall, it's not as usefull as the DOS version is, but it has some potential.
If the put in some of the above, I'll be happy.

The Menu program is nice, but I have so many icons on the WPS desktop, it's
only marginally useful (to me).  I didn't use that feature on the DOS version,
either.  I haven't tried the drag and drop stuff yet.  Haven't had a need
for it.

Hope this helps.

Jeff

you need to recompile epm.e and extra.e with the following line

This will make EPM treat ^z like an ordinary character.  All of this

Faxworks for OS/2 (at $99 if you mention the OS/2 Coupon Book;
direct from SofNet at 800-4FAXWORKS, I believe) is a great
application.  I use it, and I like it.  No OCR (yet).

There are some others, however.  Please see the OS/2 applications list
(available via anonymous ftp from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu, filename

I have never tried M2Zmodem with PM-Kermit, but the message means that the
communication mechanism between M2Zmodem (the actual file transfer process)
and M2ZPM (the PM status window) does not work properly.  I can't tell why
this doesn't work.  You ARE invoking M2ZMODEM.EXE and don't try to invoke
M2ZPM.EXE directly in some way?  M2ZPM.EXE is a program that can only be
started by M2Zmodem.EXE correctly.

It is full 32-bit OS/2 2.0, that much I know.
