Has anyone examined the market place for DDE Tools for OS2. VER 2.2EE ?
I'm looking for the equivalent of  "BRIDGE For Windows".

From: ghdai@vax1.umkc.edu

Organization: University of Missouri - Kansas City

When trying to use a DOS version FAX software, one may encounter such a
situation: only one short page can be sent out, and if the page is long,
the massage "NO CARRIER" always appears before the machine finishes sending
it.  For instance, BITFAX (V.3.07.x).  You can do everything the FAQ and TNT
or README tell you to do to try to correct it, but no success.  You can also
try to lower the transmission speed, e.g., from 9600 to 4800 or even 2400,
but still bad luck.  Recently I read one of these OS/2 groups and found
that Mr. Sipples has a solution: change MAXWAIT=3 or whatever to MAXWAIT=1
in the CONFIG.SYS.  I tried and succeeded in sending fax out at 9600.  However,
that version of BITFAX cannot start its receiving routine because it causes
a trap under OS/2 although there is no problem in using it under DOS.

I'm trying to find anyone who has experience with PSF/2 running with OS/2 2.0.
All of the information I have on PSF/2 only indicates it working with 
OS/2 1.3 EE. I would like to hear any experiences anyone has with making it
work under OS/2 2.0. 

Our needs are simple. We have an IBM 4028 NS1 laser printer we would like
to attach to a small network to print IPDS data streams. _Hopefully_ we can
do this across the network using TCP/IP 1.2.1.

Any help, advice, etc offered would be much appreciated.

You should be able to use MS-Kermit in a DOS bos reliably at up to 9600 baud
if you tell it to use the ports through BIOS (ie: Bios1-4) rather than
directly.  Tell Kermit the appropriate baud rate, but take care of flow
control and signaling with the OS/2 MODE command.  And if you have a 16550
UART, setting BUFFER=ON can improve performance/load quite a bit (see my
recent post to comp.os.os2.misc).

Going through the BIOS does limit you to 9600 baud though..

Tim:

I have a copy of the product.  It doesn't require 8MB of HD or 64MB of RAM
to install.  I am not sure what they mean in the advertisement.  So much
for being Clear and Simple.

As for the product, I am reserving judgement till I have more time.

Try PM Terminal (comes with OS/2), TE/2, PMComm, or almost any other
OS/2 communications software.  The last two are available via
anonymous ftp from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.

DOS communications software just isn't all that friendly to
multitaskers -- OS/2 communications software does wonderfully.

Amen to that. It's nice to try to meet the needs of other systems, but

First, locate the EXPAND.EXE program on one of the Win3.0 disks.  Sorry, but I
don't know which.  Copy this program in your \OS2\MDOS directory.  Then open
a DOS Window and browse through your Win3.0 disks, and "expand" the files
you want/need.  For example, let's say you've found Notepad on disk 4, it
should look like the following:

DIR A:

...
NOTEPAD.HL$
NOTEPAD.EX$
...

The $ in the filenames means the files are compressed.  Just type

EXPAND A:\NOTEPAD.HL$ C:\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\NOTEPAD.HLP

etc. for all files you want to grab.  You can get a good deal of interesting
files this way, (bitmaps, help files, readme text files, ...)

Some files may not have the $ extension and yet still be compressed, for
example the file MOUSE.COM _is_ compressed (you need to use EXPAND) even
though there is no $ in the filename.

If you have the DOS 5.0 disks, you can do the same to get EDIT.COM, which is
needed to start the IBM DOS editor in non-basic mode.  I don't why IBM does
not include it with OS/2 but it's one of the first I copy over when I install
OS/2 on a new system.

It would be terrific, but, unless I'm mistaken, I'm forced to use
QUEUE statements, which prevents true xx-compatibility.  If anyone has
any ideas on this, I'll be glad to do it for the next release.

Has anyone ported or is porting Ispell and Xfig?  I'd really like to get
my hands on both.  Does anyone know of programs with similar functionality?

Thanks,
Samir Varma

I'm searching for a (technical paper-capable) word processor for OS/2
to use to write my dissertation and some technical papers..  Ami Pro
looks like a winner, but I'm waiting for an OS/2 version (unless
rumors that the Windows version is upgradable for very low cost to
OS/2).  I looked at the DeScribe demo; pretty slick, but does it have
an equation editor?  If anyone is using OS/2 to write technical
documents and has an opinion other than "Use TeX [or LaTeX]", I'd like
to hear from you via email.  *Please* don't use this post as an excuse
for another TeX war!  :)

Thanks,
