Actually, the worst problem I have found is the fact that the printable area
in the driver doesn't match the real printable area of my DJ500.  Anything
full page that I send to print (whether from HP4 or any graphics program)
gets split between two pages, which is really annoying.

The Epson driver seems to think there is about a 1" unprintable area at the
top of the page, when the real unprintable area is around 1/4".

Also , has anyone else had the problem of WP4Win not fully underlining
spaces when using ATM fonts? (specifically TimesNewRoman)  This happens with
all of the drivers I have tried (3.0, Deskjet Family, DJ500, Win3.1).
It didn't do it under Windows, so I'm wondering what's going on.

PS: if you print with a Deskjet under WinOS2 _get the 3.1_ deskjet driver.
Major speed improvement.

	I know that a lot of video card info has passed through this

an ATI Graphics Ultra/1MB.  I will be installing OS/2 onto a 130 MB hard
drive, with just one FAT partition.  The only other accessory running notw
is an ATI Stereo/FX board.  Could someone Email me the settings, etc needed
to configure OS/2 to take advantage of my equipment, esp. the video card?
I keep hearing about different drivers, etc.  Could someone tell me what to
do to get them and install them?

	Oh, I am using an NEC/3D monitor.

I've run into a similar problem with FMORGAN.  I don't have a good solution,
but I can provide a workaround:  I found that if you start up the Jukebox
under Win-OS, then FMORGAN will work -- even, I believe, after you exit
the Windows sessions.

The problem seems to be related to your having to load a special driver
for FMORGAN.  Apparently OS/2 doesn't want you to do it in the way that
the SoundBlaster software tell it to, and I haven't figured out how to
successfully include it as one of the DOS drivers in the Sessions box.

Date: Mon, 27 Jul 1992 06:06:42 GMT


Hello,

I've been reading this newsgroup for 2 months, and I'm getting more and 
more interested in purchasing OS/2...but
I own a Toshiba notebook (a Dynabook V 386/20) with 6 Mb of RAM and a tiny
 40 Mb hard disk. According to the consensus, 8 Mb of RAM  would be better
 but it seems possible to run OS/2 on 6 Mb. 
Actually, my main problem is the hard disk. 
Although I haven't got a lot of applications, I would like to keep at 
least 10 Mb of free space on my hard disk. This raises two questions :

	(1) Is it possible to satisfy this condition  if I install 
	    the complete OS/2 package (i.e. with the WPS) ?
	(2) Same question, but without the WPS ?


I think that I will eventually buy an external hard disk. However, these
 kind of devices can only be connected to the parallel printer port,
 either (a) directly, or (b) through a  SCSI adapter.

	(3) Does anybody know if these kind of hard disks can  be 
	    recognized by OS/2 ? 


In fact, I would be very happy in hearing news from people who have already tried (or managed) to install OS/2 on this kind of laptop (especially Toshiba ones).

Thanks a lot,

Eric Jenn

 The "255" actually means that OS/2 is to ALWAYS fake out the DOS version.

Hope somebody can help with this one.  I am running OS/2 2.0 on
a 386 clone with an NE2000 Ethernet adapter on thin ethernet.
The requester seems to be working fine with one major exception:
I am intermittently dropping some or all of my fileserver
connections.  The servers that I connect to are all on my
subnet, and range from 2.15 to 3.11 netware.  I noticed that
this problem is particularly accute whe I am running the
NWTOOLS application.

IBM Level 2 support suggested that I increase the timeout settings
under the SPX section of my net.cfg file.  I did (see below).
The problems persisted.  They then suggested that I use the
login from the command line rather than using NWTOOLS.  I tried
that.  Still having troubles.  My NET.CFG follows

		link driver ne2000
			frame ehternet_ii
			int 5
			port 320
		Protocol stack SPX
			abort timeout 60000
			listen timeout 80
			verify timeout 60

Isn't a little open discussion comparing the products (That's what

Do we (the net) REALLY need to worry so much about who-says-what-in

be in it's proper little basket?


As an recent convert from Windows 3.1 to OS/2, I welcome the W3.1 OS/2
comparisons.  Knowing how to climb one mountain can help you reach the
peak of another (and sometimes, OS/2 starts to look like Everest!)

Last word (Finally :>)  -  A GUI is a GUI is a GUI - I've gone from
ST's to Amigas to Windows to OS/2 (With a little Mac thrown in), and
knowing one interface will allow you to navigate the others with little
fear of screwing something up.  SOOO, as long as we can all agree (as
I'm sure we do) that OS/2 has a lot more meat than Windows (Which is
not as obvious as the average technical mind thinks), what's wrong
with a comparison of the basic interface?  After all, they're all
rip-offs from Xerox PARC! :>

This is not an quick solution, but the WPSBKUP shareware utility
will backup your WPS and icons, and in the process of restoring it

Same here.  If it's not the "Out of memory" error, it's program windows

You have a PS/2 then?  BASICA shouldn't work without IBM BASIC in ROM.
I run GWBASIC.EXE (from Microsoft DOS 4.01) in a window OK.  Perhaps
the BASIC ROMs aren't handling the windowed environment properly.

I just posted an updated version of the "OS/2 and DOS games"
article in the comp.os.os2.apps and comp.sys.ibm.pc.games 
newsgroups.  Look for it under the same subject heading as
this article.

You probably have found it already - you have to open up the scrolling
list on the right side of the scheme palette form and select "Shadow
Text".  Then change the colour.

There is a bug in the drag and drop for the scheme palette - dragging
the scheme to a folder or the desktop will not change the shadow text
colour.  However, ALT-dragging the scheme to the desktop will work,
although it will change the shadow text colour (and everything else) in
ALL folders, not just the desktop (that's what ALT-drag is supposed to
do).  You will also have to drag the scheme to folders for which you
have explicitly changed the colours.  It seems global changes do not
override previously set individual changes.
