i have just started reading about os2 and have bought a copy to play
with.  so far i've noticed three things that bother me:

a) file names are always shown in upper case.  is os2 case insensitive?
is upper case required?  do ibm programmers have six fingers (one for
the shift key)?  are they still thinking in terms of the o26/o29
keypunches and bcd coding?  reading os2 takes me back to my first
programming experiences in the early 1960s.  i thought os2 was a modern
system oriented to the future....

b) path separation is always shown with the back(assward) slash (\).  is
this hard wired or can it be switched (as in drdos, early msdos)?  do
system calls accept both / and \ as in dos or is one stuck with this
braindead convention?  if nothing else it makes programming in c that
much more troublesome?

c) os2 uses the braindead and redundant CR/LF convention from msdos.  do
os2 utilities work the text files that have only line feeds or must one
run unix files through a filter?  programming utilities to work with
either convention is trivial, but for some reason (ideological?) it is
not done (cpp in Borland c and c++ is a classic example of user-hostile
programming).

Hmm, I have to comment at this point: I looked at this program, and it
is *really* wierd!  The author(s) seem to have used the wrong system
calls for implementing menus, resulting in a system that is almost
counter-intuitive.  The "menus" are disguised as settings.  There's
other quirks to (no _easy_ way to specify the extract directory, can't
handle spaces in dir/file names, etc.).  All in all, I have to judge
this program as not-ready-for-prime-time.  I'm still using the
command-line to view/extract/create archives.

Hmm, maybe I should cross-post this to comp.os.os2.apps.reviews.  :-)
Seriously, I've set the follow-up line to c.o.o.apps, since this is a
discussion of an OS/2 app now.

Or the Generic 800x60x16 SVGA driver available from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu?
It's written by Joel Archambeault (sp?) of IBM, not as an IBM product.
It's very fast, compared to the SP drivers, perhaps because it's only 
writing 4 planes instead of 8.  And it has no Seamless Windows.  Other
than that it's quite good.  I need the speed on my 386SX-20!

The COM bps limit is still the same: 57,600 bps.  (DMA hardware,
available on many IBM machines, may boost that figure.)  That is the
theoretical (or, more precisely, implemented) maximum.  The practical
maximum depends on system load, system capabilities, type of
handshaking enabled, type of software in use, and type of
communications device/cable.

Well, the last time this came up (April?), I called Western Digital (then

else since then.  Anyway, they don't seem to have their act together.

And I will add more.  There seems to be a lot of misinformation about
the SVGA problem with Diamond SpeedStar.

My configuration is a Gateway 2000 with a Diamond SpeedStar.  To get
1024x768 running, I

   1. Run Selective Install (not dspinstl)
   2. After it finishes, DO NOT REBOOT IMMEDIATELY AS REQUESTED.
   3. Open a DOS Full Screen Session.
   4. run VMODE MONITOR
   5. run SVGA ON
   6. Exit Dos Full Screen and reboot.

The problem is not a bug in SVGA, but a limit of the Diamond SpeedStar;
it cannot autodetect the monitor type.  

When dspinstl (from selective install) does the automatic SVGA ON, the
board does not know what type of monitor is attached. (why it forgets
is beyond me, but it does).  Consequently, SVGA properly copies the
register information into the SVGADATA.PMI for an incorrect monitor.
When the high resolution drivers initialize the board, they do so with
this incorrect configuration.

Switching to the FULL screen session and running VMODE, SVGA ON AFTER
the install rewrites the SVGADATA.PMI with the correct register info.
Now, the system can correctly configure itself and run.  All of the
tricks of making multiple SVGADATA.PMI files and copying over the one
written by dspinstl do the same thing.

Important notes:
  1. RUN Selective Install, not dpsinstl
  2. Ignore the instructions from IBM about starting a DOS session,
     I've heard of no one finding that successful.
  3. Run the Full Screen DOS "VMODE MONITOR" and "SVGA ON" AFTER
     running Selective Install but before rebooting, not BEFORE.

Orchid has a beta driver for the F1280 card, but it is beta, and also 
there are probably enough differences between the F1280 and other S3
cards that you may want to encourage Diamond tooget out the OS/2 drivers
themselves. It is rumoured that Diamond might get drivers out before
the end of the year.

No, but there is a "generic" 800x600-16 driver (called vga800-1)
available via anonymous ftp from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu (directory
/pub/uploads right now, but it could be moved).  There are also beta

I have access to ftp-os2 at the office
on a Sparc 1+. It seemed silly to have to
transport the SPG3??.ZIP files home to 
process them. Snooping with Xdf showed
that after unziping with UNZIP50, the
.DSK files has a label of sorts that was
41 bytes long before the actual disk image.
So here's how to do it on a Sparc:

(FIRST DELETE THE LEADING 41 bytes)
"dd if=spg301.dsk of=spg301.dsk.new bs=41 skip=1"
This takes awhile to complete.

(SECOND, COPY ONTO HD FLOPPY)
Then put a formatted HD disk in the floppy drive and
"dd if=spg301.dsk.new of=/dev/rfd0c bs=9k"
This also takes a bit of time.

I set up a batch file to do it and prompts to
stick in the disks, etc. One quibble: this produced
disks that I can access on the sparc using mtools.
I assume that they will work for the CSD inst:

Yes the trigger conditions are indeed very obscure as I'am also seeing
my os2sys.ini file grow 2x or more in less than an hour at times. I
have to use cpyini from hobbes to bring the file size back to normal again.

I have been trying to narrow in on what is causing the problem but so
far no luck. This started happening after I installed the CSD so I
plan to notify IBM about the problem.

The main drawback is that you can't [I think] delete the SWAPPER.DAT file
while the system is using it [while you are booted from the hard disk].

But you can edit the config.sys to specify a different path for the swap
file and reboot -- then you can delete the old one.

Hi,

I'm re-installing OS/2 to switch from HPFS to FAT.

The installation and disk 1 go find, but any disk after that can not be read.  Actually, when prompted for any disk after "disk 1", then next disk is never read or recognized.

The screen prompts for the next disk, the new disk is put in drive A:, "enter" is hit on the keyboard, the bell beeps once, and nothing happens.  The only keystrokes that will illicit any any response is ctrl-alt-del, which doesn't help!

It seems to me that the new diskette is not recognized because the diskette read is cached.

What ever the cause, can anyone offer an approach?  I've tried every combination of my CMOS, to no avail.

Thanks in advance.

I had a similar looking problem running an application under dBASE IV.
It ran fine if I booted from a DOS disk or ran it from a VMD, but not in
a OS/2 DOS-box. The dBASE error message said that there were too many files
open. 

The problem, however, is NOT in the number of files that are open.
The thing to check is the line DOS_VERSION in the DOS-settings.

Some DOS programs may refuse to run under OS/2's DOS emulator because
they insist on a particular version of DOS. The offended program
apparently checks what version of the operating system it is running
under. This way you can tell the DOS-box to fake a certain DOS version.

It seems like during the OS/2 installation the transfer utility for  
DOS-programs is able to notice this sort of things.

I wonder if this could be installed:

On one Unix system I use, four computers have their file systems
linked over a network using the "/.." directory.  You go to the root,
type "cd ..", then type "cd mahinename" and you're now in the root
directory of that machine.

I wonder if the HPFS "/.." directory could be hooked to do this like
that Unix box was...

Mike:

Is your company a member of the OS/2 Developer Assistance Program?  As a
member of the DAP, I am finding IBM responsive to solving problems
developers run into during their work.  I can't say this is true 100% of
the time.  Todd Crowe and I have an outstanding PMR out with IBM on an
IPF bug and the programmer seems very dense.

Is the XVGA card sold by BOCA research compatable with the IBM XGA standard?
I want to get this card and use the XGA drivers for WPS and seemless windows.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!  I hope to order it today so the sooner
the better...
