It may not be what you need, but the XMX X-window multiplexor software
from Brown University allows you to share the output of your windows.
Input is from one window only.

I need an attractive, attention holding video to explain
to a bunch of non-technicians who will make the decision
what the advantages of groupware can be over the traditional
way of doing things.  The video should not mention any product
by name (well not much, anyway), except as an example.  The
advantages such as discussion facilitation through anonymity
and non-physically colocated meetings should be highlighted.  
These will be the sort of surprising (surprising to my target
audience that is), features of groupware that I'm hoping a 
flashy video will convey effectively.  

Buttress this with viewgraphs and I hope to have a good
pitch.  

Any help would be much appreciated.  I realize this is a 
tall order; but the net has never failed me yet!

How can I avoid it; I'd like to get 0 as result, *NOT* a trap operation.
I've looked for it in C-Set/2 and OS/2 (paper- and online-) documentation,

And you won't have to apply the XR-6055 patch, followed by the 2.1 CSD
anyway.  CSD packages are usually cumulative, so you need only install
the most recent one.

Of course, 2.1 being an actual revision and not corrective service,
they may simply issue new 2.1 packages instead of CSD's.

Date: 6 Jan 93 17:10:49 GMT
Organization: Tufts University - Medford, MA

As I was working yesterday, I had a few intense processes going.  As a
result, when I opened a folder, my drive started going nuts.
Suddenly, I heard a sound that reminded me all too well of my last
hard drive when its heads slammed into the platters.  Only louder and
much worse.  I received the message:
	A defective sector on drive D: has been replaced.
	No data was lost.
	You should run CHKDSK soon to restore full performance
	and to replenish the spare sector area of the volume.
This was an HPFS disk.

Now, what *really* happened?  Is this legit?  Based on the sound from
the drive, I thought it was tracking off the end of the disk.  I can't
imagine that kind of bang, grind, and click (yup, all three) from
merely failing to find a sector.

When I booted from floppy and ran CHKDSK, it told me:
	CHKDSK corrected a minor filesystem error
Great message, eh?

Any thoughts are welcome...
					Thanks,

Better yet get a program called SCSICNTL put out by Roy Neese of Adaptec.
I'm not sure where to find it but you can use one of the archie servers to
locate it, which is how I found it on the net. It's not supported by
Adaptec and I believe Roy did the whole thing on his own time. Anyway it's
a great program, unfortunately it won't run under OS/2 so I have a copy on
a DOS boot disk that I use when the need arises. It gives you more
information than you could possibly want about devices attached to an
Adaptec SCSI adapter.
	Other than that follow the advice Orville gave. I have a Maxtor
SCSI hard drive, an HP (really a Toshiba 3301) CD-ROM drive and an old
TK-50 tape drive all on my Adaptec 1542B and they all work perfectly id'ed
as:

			Maxtor HD - 		SCSI ID 0
			Toshiba CD-ROM - 	SCSI ID 3
			DEC TK-50 Tape Drive -	SCSI ID 4
			Adaptec 1542B -		SCSI ID 7

If I can help further contact me via email.

Actually, if you hold down SHIFT while dragging on the border (to
expand the window to its maximum size), you'll avoid the "top left"
problem.  SHIFT-maximize is really a bad idea, generally.

Not yet on the other questions -- they would be welcome additions.

I've an interesting problem with the 2.1 beta.  I'd been using the SP

In any event, I generally leave os/2 running on my machine all the time.  
Every time I leave it running overnight it ends up with a "frozen" mouse.
When I start work in the morning, the mouse doesn't work.  Further, a
seamless copy of Organizer shows a trashed window.  Finally, I can't run
ftp or telnet into the machine!  Any thoughts about what this might be?

The latest PMVIEW also has the problem. I suspect it is a PM bug although
I can't see why it should occur. If you save an area of memory and then put
it back, with no intervening pallete change, the replaced section should be
ok!

I am looking for a system with a high resolution (1280 x 1024) and very fast graphic

From: mgjones@apsvax.aps.muohio.edu (Mike Jones)

X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL6]

Hello.  I've been having a problem that I have not been able to figure
out how to fix, so before I bend IBM's ear, I figured I would check here
to see if anyone else has had this problem and found a way around it.

Anways, I am running OS/2 2.0 GA with the CSD patches.  The problem
I am having is with the COMM port.  I have 2 comports, my mouse on COM1,
and a 14,400 Supra modem on COM2.  I run a DOS BBS in a VDM (the standard
OS/2 DOS, not a real copy of DOS).  The BBS runs in a window.  The problem
I am having is that whenever I open up a fullscreen DOS session, a signal
is sent to my modem (happens when I switch _out_ of a full screen session
also).  This has the result of hanging up on anyone who would happen to
be online at the time.  Also, if no one is online, it screws up the modem
so that no one can call in until I reset the BBS.  Therefore, I am stuck
having to use the VDM in a window all the time, and having to temporaly
take down the BBS if I have to do anything full screen.  I have used the
original COMM drivers, switch to a newer set I got from hobbes ftp site,
and now am running the SIO v0.20 comm drivers, and ALL had the same result.
I have also even tried disabling access to COM2 in a DOS VDM that I wanted
to make full screen (through DOS Settings...), but it still sends something.

Has anyone experienced this problem, and is there a way to fix it?  Should 
I try loading up a real copy of DOS in a VDM?  Could someone with the OS/2
2.1 Beta tell me if it has the same problem? (I am considering getting it).

BTW, OS/2 full screen command line does not have this problem.

Thanks, and *PLEASE* EMAIL ME, I cannot keep up with the traffic in this
group very well.

Is there an option in the DOS program itself to redirect print output
to a file?

Failing that, have you made sure that the IBMNULL driver is actually
intercepting output for the printer port?
