I just noticed the Sound Blaster drivers for MMPM/2.  My first question is,
what is MMPM/2.  My guess would be Multimedia presentation manager.  If
so, is this a package you must purchase in addition to os/2 or is
it available.  If you must purchase it now, will it be in the next CSD
(upgrade, whatever we're calling it now)?  I ask mainly because of
rumors here that Soundblaster drivers will be in it...  while on the subject...

  Hi OS/2-Community (I'm glad it's growing !) !!

  I'm trying to install Novell's NetWare Requester for OS/2 together
  with IBM's Extended Services on a Compaq 486-Portable with an IBM
  Token-Ring adaptor. No success. Depending on the configuration I use, I
  have either access to the NetWare server or to the IBM Host - but not to
  both at the same time. Has anybody successfully installed both packages
  on a similar hardware ?? If you did, please send me your CONFIG.SYS,
  NET.CFG and PROTOCOL.INI by E-mail. I'm near despairing. 

  Thank you.

Yes, at least to the first part.

It gets tricky when you have only one LAN adapter.  One specific DOS
session isn't necessarily going to know what the other is doing.

Hello Everyone,

I just got Powerpoint 3.0 today.  I vaguely recall reading here a few
weeks ago people running Powerpoint 3.0 in win-os2 without problem.
Well, I picked up Powerpoint from Egghead today. When I ran setup
from a full screen win-os2 session, it complained about feature not 
supported in win-os2.  Please tell me this is not something I have
to wait until win3.1 compatibility in order to run.  If you have
gotten Powerpoint 3.0 to work, how did you do it?

Thanks in advance for your help.

You might try the GNU textutils, ported by Kai Uwe Rommel. (In particular,
check 'pr'.) Rommel has DOS/OS2 bound versions and OS/2 2.0-only versions in,
respectively,
  pub/os2/all/gnu/    and    pub/os2/2.0/gnu/
at ftp-os2.nmsu.edu. 

If you have a postscript printer, I have seen some text-to-postscript 
(ps-up is on ftp-os2 somewhere--I have not tested). (Side note: ps-to-text
by Jason Black recently appeared (on comp.languages.postscript?) and it 
easily compiles using MSC 6.0a for DOS/OS2. ps-to-text is not the answer to
the original post.)

I don't have OS/2 (I lack the hardware to run it, but I'm working on it), but the 
answer to your question is no. It isn't possible to display a 24-bit window on a 
screen with 8-bit depth. It may be possible to implement, but I wouldn't want to
try it. This has nothing to do with what OS you are running.

A solution would be to have a driver that would allow you to select screen depth
(like the Monitor control panel on a Macintosh) on the fly, not requiering a 
reboot. I have been told that it is possible to write such drivers for *that other
popular windowing os:ish*, but I haven't seen any.

News-Software: Usenet 3.0

   Some good news... I have  made an OS/2 2.0 800x600x16 generic
display driver. It is supposed to support all adapters that are
supported by SVGA.EXE. I have tested this driver on both an ATI
and a Paradise adapter. I know somebody who will test it on
a Trident card. So right now I am looking for owners of:

 .Video 7
 .Tseng

adapters, to beta test it. These people should have access
to email to receive uuencoded files, or, even better, to
BITNET. Please contact me directly to joe2@vnet.ibm.com

NOTE: THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL IBM DRIVER. I am doing it during
my spare time. And before I am asked, this driver will not support
seamless windows, since to do so you need a special Windows driver
as well. This driver is still 16bit, but has the new 2.0 cursors,
default colors, etc.

I think that going from version 1.x to 2.x should be a pay as you got

This will be better than MS and will still improve the revenues available

i receently invested in a new video card--Diamond Speedstar 24X (the 24X NOT
the 24) an have been gennerally pleazed with th speed of it.. it is quite
nice for plain jane VGA mode for the WPS.. i had a heck of a tim setting it
up to work though and though tha i would post a note here for anyone that may
be havin g troubles as well.
the first prob. you will run into is whn you boot OS/2 for th first time with
the card in the machine--you get the c000005 error upon bootup. th fix is to
either use a dos boot disk or an os/2 boot diskette to get you in the system
to a prompt and apply the fix for bvhsvga.dll  this fix is generally avail
able and does the job th first time. 
the next prob that yhou will prob. have is that when you try to access any
of the extended video modes (i.e. in a VDM) such as 640x480x256 or 
800x600x256 yo may have a loss of synch. (the screen goes all wavy).  
you can fix this by usin the utility that came on the video card diskettes
called 24xmode.com.  this utility is used to select wha type of monitor you
are using and is loaded in the autoexec.bat file each time you open a VDM or
go to windows fullscreen.  what is reallly nice about this card \is that even
though i am using a high color driver for windows full screen mode, i am still
able to use individual winodwos programs in seamless VGA mode.. the best of
both worlds! but the caveat is that if you do this you cant switch between
programs becasue you reallly screw up the video modes and OS/2 gets really
confused. havent found a way around this one yet. so anyone with ideas give

Hi All,

In the near future I'll probably be looking into getting a CD-ROM drive
which I'll be hooking up through a new SCSI board.  I'd like to get the
best combination that will work under both OS/2 and DOS.  I'm not really
all that up on this stuff and from postings I've scanned on these topics
installing SCSI and CD-ROMs seems like it can be fraught with difficulties --
particularly depending on other devices already installed.

So, I'm asking the net for any brandname recommendations for a SCSI-CDROM
setup.  Also, with all the junk I've already got stuffed in the box, will
I have any problems?  My system is as follows:

486-33 Local Bus (ET4000)
16 Meg RAM
2 IDE Drives: 120 Meg (Bootmanager, C: FAT DOS Boot primary, E: HPFS, F: HPFS)
	      200 Meg (D: FAT primary)
Soundblaster (uses IRQ7 - I don't have a printer)
MPU401 board (uses IRQ5)

I'm particularly concerned about having 2 IDE's with SCSI (seems like some
other people had problems with this), and I've got a couple of boards that
already use IRQ's 5 and 7.

Thanks in advance,

I didn't find this info specifically addressed in the OS/2 'docs' or in our
faq.  I know Win OS/2 doesn't come with 3.0 applets like notepad or write etc
and the 'auto migration' of those apps just makes program entry which points
to the actual MS Windows directory and program.  Now I want to get rid of
Windows and retain those applets for Win OS/2.  As an example I tried just
copying notepad.exe to my Win OS/2 directory and pointed the program entry
to it, but it wants something else, some other file or something.  How is
all this accomplished?

*I'm simplifying a bit because I actually erased win 3.0 and install 3.1
(not letting it trash my win/os2) and am attempting to just copy my 'old' 3.0
applets to Win OS/2, since it doesn't seem to like the 3.1 version(s) of those.

But Steve, a lot of us DID buy it with the understanding that we would

NEWSFLASH!  A lot of the peple making the transition from Windows to
OS/2 are doing so BECAUSE THEY GOT TIRED OF PAYING FOR BUG FIX
RELEASES.  If IBM now starts playing that same game, what do you think
is going to happen?  If IBM now says to people that they're going to
have to pay for stuff that they REALLY expected to be updates and
included in OS/2 2.0 when they bought it (whether IBM ever actually
promised that or not), how do you think that is going to leave people
who are just regaining faith in the 'New IBM' feeling?

I've been trying to get my OS/2 in 800x600x256 mode. It seemed to work
pretty well for a while, but now is messewd up again. If I open up
a DOS full screen session, turn it into a window, then try and turn
it back into a full screen session.. or if I just try and return to
a full screen DOS session, the screen is filled with colored garble.
a mode co80 command fixes it, but that isn't acceptable if I am in the
middle of a program.

I am using t800.zip, tr256.zip, and trid_fix.zip

Am I using to many fixes at the same time???... I couldn't get the
vsvga.sys from the trid_fix.zip to work. When I tried to boot it told
me that it was an invalid .sys file. 

Suggestions? help!
