You might want to get a network system or something. I know that out 
NFS system will recoginze filenames longer than 8 characters 
but it will not display them. It will however show you what the 
files are supposed to be using one of their special directory
listing commands. On our system, we have "ls" and "dir" as two 
different commands and "dir" will list ony 8 chars while the 
"ls" command (yes this is in NFS) will display longer filenames
 that's becuase our UNIX system doesn't have a 8 character limitation
 on filenames..

It might be possible that way. Or there might be a program in 
public domain that will lift the filename limitation.

I can also change directories to ones with more than 8 chars, 
on NFS.

Please go back and read the README from the install disks. It fully explains

Well, I just got me OS/2 32bit engine beta.  Nice service by IBM.

One problem though.  There is no bootstrap disk that allows one
to install from drive B.  I thought that IBM would be smart enough
to include one of these in every version...  since there are a lot
of people with 5 1/4 drive A.

Is there a 5 1/4 inch version of the beta?

Personally I agree with that, but being a lucky(?) resident of the city

THAT is what IBM should get MORE online, I know that in Canada, there is
3 or 4 of those free support bbs, but they should really get more

I bought Golden CommPass 2 months ago and am very happy with it.
It is designed very much in the spirit of OS/2 with an object-oriented
design, multi-threading, etc.  There are a few kinks:  the length of forum
names is arbitrarily limited, some users have had problems installing.  
Neither of these problems has affected me.  Also, Larry Finklestein (?)
does a good job of supporting the product online.  There have been a 
couple of updates (which I haven't even bothered to DL).

What OS2 needs is to allow users to install a SVGADATA.PMI file  and
then BVHSVGA believes and uses that file. As it is it checks to see if
it recognises the video card, and uses the .PMI data ONLY if that agrees
with what BVHSVGA  thinks the video card is. This means that if in the
future someone comes out with a new chip not currently recognised by
OS2, you're out of luck, without IBM releasing a version of OS2 which
specifically recognises that card. That's stupid, unmodular design.
There should be a defined interface with OS2 (BVHSVGA) which any card
manufacturer can hook to by obeying those interface restrictions and
writing and appropriate driver. If I misunderstand the OS2 SVGA design,
please correct me.

You can SELECT shadow colors from a scheme palette, but the WPS ignores you.

Closest answer is "neither."  The 8514/A supports 640x480 in 256
colors, 1024x768 in 16 colors, and, with the 512K memory expansion,
1024x768 in 256 colors.  IBM implemented 8514/A as interlaced when
operating in 1024x768, but it isn't necessary (as with the ATI
Graphics Ultra and Vantage).

The 8514/A contains a graphics coprocessor.

IBM is no longer selling 8514/A (although it continues to support it).
XGA is now the standard of choice from IBM.

Hi all, I've been getting a rather strange erratic problem with opening
DOS windows.

PC-clone, 386/33-0 with 20Mb (gt20mb fix installed), ATI OEM 1024 card
with 512K memory and Joel's ATI drivers. All this on a 21" monitor.

Sometimes when I open a dos window it comes up real small (like 3
inches wide by 2 inches deep) and sometimes the windows come up in what
is obviously 640x480 mode (they fill most of the screen).

What could possibly be doing this?

I have a similar setup on my machine (MSDOS instead of DRDOS), and I tried to
do the same thing.  I believe that you can only have three primary partition

non-bootable partitions.  My solution was to use SCO's boot manager and the

We have done some (real, not stuff that fits into cache) benchmarks on 50DX
and 66DX2 systems. We have found the following:

- if stuff fits into on-chip cache (8k), you get 2x performance (over 33DX)

- if stuff fits into off-chip cache (recommend 128k to 256k), you get 1.7x
  or 1.8x 

- in general, most things (unless REALLY memory bound) get 1.5x to 1.7x

This means that it is mostly a wash with a 50DX. However, cache, and higher
speed DRAM to expand the 50DX will be more expensive than on the 66DX2
(which only requires parts for 33MHz).

HOWEVER. These days, unless you are doing some very odd things, the CPU is
not usually the bottleneck. A good graphics coprocessor will do more to speed
up a glacial GUI, and a high speed hard disk and controller will do more to
improve overall system performance than even going from a 25MHz to a 50Mhz
CPU... Try to indentify exactly what it is you are trying to speed up.

Perhaps I should clarify what I mean by garbled.  This is not a sync
problem, it seems to be a problem saving and restoring video memory. 
Each time I switch to a full screen session the screen is filled with
flashing boxes.  I believe the card is in the correct video mode, but
the screen data (and font data) was not saved correctly.  In fact, I
forgot that I had installed a fix on the display.dll that causes it to
refresh the screen each time, so when I removed it the wps was garbage
as well.  Somebosy (vsvga.sys, I bet) isn't saving their memory
correctly.
