  Funny, I messed with os2speed and telix 3.12 and 3.15 for about an
hour.  Although 3.15 claims it is DesqView aware, it talks only about
the screen write modes, and not timesharing.  Either version, once 
actually accessing the com port showed no signs of releasing any
CPU according to pulse.  This is only over a 2400 MNP connection.
  Hmmm.  What settings and COM drivers are you using?

Really?  Does this mean ANY C program, or are there limitations such as no
dynamic allocation, only string and integer variables allowed, etc.?  Or does
this mean that PMCOMM32 has an EXECPGM function (or something similar) that
allows a script to start a child program?

Get OS2SPEED and put it in your autoexec.bat file for DOS windows. Then
run Telix. OS2SPEED turns DesqView aware programs (of which, contrary to
the OS2SPEED docs, Telix is one) into OS/2 aware programs. Althuogh this
won't give you a PM comms program, it will give you one that releases
its timeslice (watch that pulsemeter drop before your very eyes).

Actually, this will not solve the problem of having *IF* some other 
program already has *.doc associated with it.  The first program 
associated with a particular extension will become the default for 
that extension.  To rectify the problem, eliminate all asscociations
for all programs *EXCEPT* wordperfect.  Wordperfect then becomes the
default for  *.doc.  You may then add the *.doc association back on to 
the other programs and Wordperfect will remain the default.

I know this method is a pain, especially if you have many associations
for a particular extension, but I have found no easier way, (although
that does not mean it doesn't exist :).  I do think this could be 
added to make the WPS more user friendly.

If you know an easier way, please post.

In the version of compress which I found at ftp-os2 (compr412.zoo), the
source checks to see if argv[0] is equal to "uncompress".  It does not
check to see if argv[0] is equal to "uncompress.exe", thus the test
always fails.  (Personally, I can live with using "compress -d", but I
thought I'd mention this.)

WordPerfect only did V5.0 for OS/2. It looks just like the DOS version.
 
I heard from an IBMer today that WordPerfect are *now* advertising for
WordPerfect V6.0 for OS/2 in a US mag.
 
This will be the *big* one. Watch for it. At the moment, you may have to order
OS/2 programs in stores. The more people who order, the more likely stores are
to have them on the shelves.

I just installed RCS 5.6, and have got it pretty much working, except that 
when I ran RLOG on a file that I produced using RCS 5.5 under MSDOS, it 
complained:

rlog error: bad diff output line: d1 1
rlog aborted

The same happened when I tried to check out the first version of the file 
using co. Since the DOS version reports no problem here, I'm a little 
confused about what's going on. Here is the start of the relevant section of 
the RCS file:

Two things.

First, you may have to use shift-printscreen, and not just
printscreen.

Second, be sure that screen printing is enabled.  I believe this
setting is on the desktop->settings notebook.  If it isn't there, look
in the OS/2 System->System Setup->Settings notebook.  There is a
checkbox somewhere do enable/disable screen printing.  I don't know if
the default was on or off, though.  I made sure it was on as soon as I
found the page with it.

In the global autoexec.bat for all DOS sessions, put

I don't know anything about te2, but I have a registered copy of pmcomm (the

program overall.  I do wish that it's VT100 emulation permitted a scroll-
back buffer, which I think is a dandy feature even if it isn't a "true" vt100 
emulation with such a feature.  Anyhow, the zmodem is flawless, the program 
works well, and it allows the writing of scripts in _either_ its own internal 
language OR in REXX.  So far, I like the program a lot.

  I'm running standard VGA on an ET4000 board.  I've also seen this
once in a while.  If I maxed a window and then minimize it again (to 
force a screen redraw) the colors return.  I don't know what might
cause this though.  Only happens to me on bootup once in a great
while.

There is a menu for every object. In the backbround picture menu iI have 
added a few of my own programs to the menu, but when I start them from the 
menu they dont start in the directory where the .exe file is.

So some programs dont't work ( for instance all the command prompts ).

THe only way to get around this,  I've  discovered is to make a command file 
that brings you to the program location before it starts it.

THERE MUST BE A EASIER WAY ? ANYBODY ?
