I also found this problem.  Button operated pull down menus in win-os2 3.1
seem to behave very erratically, if at all.  After clicking on the button, it
is possible to scroll through the options with the arrow keys.  The pull
down menus seem to work much better in seamless mode, but I still have problems
with them.
On one screen of the setup part of WfW I found that the pull down menus wouldn't
appear, but the text under where the menu should have been wavered and flashed.

Perhaps it's a power problem. Someone mailed me privately saying that
OS/2 crashed on his machine when the hard drive was doing some heavy
work, needing a lot of power. After he replaced the power supply, the
problem was gone.

On my PC OS/2 crashes sooner or later if I have the cache enabled, too.
The motherboard has a 486DX with 50Mhz and 256k cache. The previous
motherboard had the same except for running with only 33Mhz, and OS/2 was
running with enabled cache without problems. Perhaps this is a power
problem, too, with the 50MHz cache needing more than the 33Mhz cache
(sounds plausible to me). (I can't say more yet; I haven't told to our
local hardware people yet.)

Sorry that this appears as half a rumour, but perhaps it helps...

Best wishes,

  You can change the color on text shadow color - mine is set to red.
From the scheme palette, I used the pull down menu to select the
shadow icon text, and clicked the edit color button.  Alt-dragging the
scheme to the desktop changes all shadow icon text to the color.  I
realize now that this is not the object-oriented way of changing

  BTW, I am using the GA version.

We are looking very hard for a Super VGA card for some PCs running OS/2 2.0.  These
are our requirments.

1)  They have current OS/2 2.0 SVGA drivers (up to 1024x768x256)

2)  They be fast, and reliable. (These are industrial rack mount, assemble and forget)

3)  We would prefer a board with a GUI accelerator (again, with OS/2 2.0 SVGA drivers)

Any recommendations?

When you load OS/2, any DLLs used are locked, so OS/2 can freely discard and
re-load the code.  To replace a DLL, you must either boot OS/2 from floppy,
and copy the DLL to hard drive, or modify your LIBPATH.  Booting from floppy
is self-explanatory, but LIBPATH may not be.  Here's the idea:
 
Modify LIBPATH and add C:\FOO; to the beginning.  Copy your new DLL to C:\FOO.
When you next boot OS/2, it will use your DLL in C:\FOO.  You can replace the
DLL in the "normal" location, since it is not locked.  When you do this,
remove C:\FOO from the LIBPATH.  Then next time you boot, you can delete the
DLL from C:\FOO, since it won't be used anymore.
 
This sounds like extra work, but it allows you to "pre-test" the new DLL, and
if you have problems, you only need to fix CONFIG.SYS.  I keep a spare
CONFIG.SYS around for this purpose.

Subject: Beta INI files damaged by PMZIP 1.0
Organization: Yale University

After the Beta INI files were corrupted and WPS would not start, I
tracked the problem down to running PMZIP 1.0 (from hobbes).  If I
boot the system, then do nothing except run PMZIP and shutdown, the
WPS will not initialize on the next boot until the INI files are
restored.  PMZIP 1.0 ran raggedly on GA, so this is new with the
Beta.  It looks like it will be a very useful tool if a subsequent
release can fix the reliability problems.

Organization: New York University

I just installed a Trident 8900C card with 1MB on my system with the
hopes of using the 1024x768 PM drivers on Hobbes.  The 256 color drivers
(normal and 8514 font) work well as far as the desktop is concerned, but
DOS or OS/2 full screen sessions are garbled when I switch to them after
switching away.  I think I've tried everything: followed the directions
to the letter, installed the new vsvga.sys from software.watson, ran the
patch on the display.dll (which did fix the garbled WPS, btw), etc. 
I've noticed a few posts on this in the last week, but there were no
responses.  Can this be fixed?

Also, the 1024x768x16 color drivers don't work at all on my system.  I
install the .dll, and things seem to go well during boot until the
desktop is drawn; then I get one half-finished window and the system
crashes.

Are there more up-to-date drivers?

You're given the option of changing the default on the Win-OS2 directory
during installation. I chose to install 3.1 right over 3.0. So far, I 
haven't noticed any problems as a result. -Just an option.

Organization: Computer Science Department, University of New Mexico
Distribution: usa
Date: Sun, 4 Oct 1992 03:01:31 GMT

My wife accidently (?) deleted my desktop, hence I was forced to 
reinstall OS/2.  On my first attempt, I installed it over the 
remains of the old installation- which didn't work for whatever
reason ( A sysint.msg file was "missing").  So I deleted all the
OS files I could find, including the hidden ones, put the MS-DOS
system back on the disk (I'm using the FAT file system) and attempted
an installation from scratch.

The installation completed without a hitch, I installed the new os2krnl
from hobbes, the orchid.9 drivers and hoped for the best.  This exact 
configuration was working fine for weeks before the desktop disaster.
So, now numerous DOS applications (just about all of them from what
I can see)  are cross linked according to chkdsk.  Here's a sample of 
the error messages:

C:\OS!2_2.0_D\OS!2_SYS\SYSTEM_S attempted to claim an extended attribute that
does
not exist. The error was corrected.
C:\DOS\FDISK.EXE attempted to claim an extended attribute that does
not exist. The error was corrected.


SYS1324: C:\BOYAN\Q-WORK is cross-linked on extended attribute 99.
SYS1324: C:\BOYAN\CKU179_T.Z is cross-linked on extended attribute 59.
SYS1324: C:\BOYAN\XCOMM_TA.Z is cross-linked on extended attribute 101.
SYS1324: C:\BOYAN\STORY2 is cross-linked on extended attribute 109.
SYS1324: C:\BOYAN\MR2INI.ORG is cross-linked on extended attribute 60.
SYS1324: C:\BOYAN\REPLY.MSG is cross-linked on extended attribute 103.
SYS1324: C:\NORTON\NCD.EXE is cross-linked on extended attribute 70.


These same warnings are still given (note chkdsk says it corrects them)
despite numerous chkdsk /f's.  If I have to install OS/2 yet again, so
be it but how can I solve this problem?  If I reinstall, what do I need
to do to avoid this problem?  Unfortunately other problems I'm having are
probably related to this one, for instance, double clicking on OS/2 System on
the desktop results it opening briefly and then shutting with no obvious
error message.

Please excuse the long message and help if you can!

Dear comp.os.os2.misc:

I have not seen this subject discussed before:  how might the
multitasking ability of os/2.0 be used to do multiple simultaneous
floppy copying?  If I had 3 floppy controllers and  6 floppy

to all six floppies simultaneously?  Are there enough hardware
addresses to do this?  Would some DMA something or other have to
be set?  As far as I understand, this task is impossible under

I, too, assume that "warm boot" means the desktop goes away and comes back.

He complained of message about running out of swap space.  I had a couple
of instances where SWAPPER.DAT could not be extended and WPS died.  For-
tunately, WPS gets restarted.

Increase the space available to SWAPPER.DAT.

Subject: BETA 32-bit GRE **BUGS**!
Date: 30 Sep 92 21:19:45 GMT
Organization: Wright State University

Fixed my Graphics Ultra problems and installed the beta 32-bit GRE
with WIN-OS/2 3.0.

Now for some beta bugs:-

1) I have been hit by the TRAP 0002 bug. Not once but every single
   time I have installed the beta, that is THREE times. The installs were
   full installs with reformat and everything. The install program will
   crap out somewhere; I've had it happen after the HD format, disk 6 and
   disk 12. It also happened once when I tried to open the "Command 
   Prompts" folder.

2) I'm using WIN-OS/2 3.0. Everytime I start it up (full screen) it
   comes up with a "Application Error" dialog saying that it could
   not find the program and to check the path. This happens right
   before the Clipboard comes up on the desktop and also before the
   Print Manager comes up.

3) Printing from AmiPro 2.0 causes the WIN-OS/2 session to hang hard.
   Most of the time I can Alt+Esc back to the WPS but occassionaly I've
   had to do a 3-fingered salute.
   Background: I do not have a printer at home and so rely on a Digital
               LPS 40 at school. I print my stuff out in Postscript to
               FILE and then download to my Unix a/c to print.
               What should I be doing?
               Or what am I doing wrong?

4) Still cannot print using OS/2's print spooler as per the tips in
   the OS/2 FAQ. That is disable WIN-OS/2 Print Manger, comment out
   !printman (spelling??) from SYSTEM.INI.

5) Using 8514/a startup mode for the Graphics Ultra makes DOS sessions
   (full screen and windowed) unusable. You get the screen, the blinking
   cursor, a blue shade to the help banner and that is it. No response.
   Switching to 1024x768 NI or NEC 4D mode fixed the problem.

This is about what I can remember. I wrote a bunch of stuff down but I
don't have my notes with me now. All ideas, suggestions etc. welcomed.

UNZIP 5.0 is downward compatible with all previous compression algorithms.
The ZIP 1.9 "deflation" algorithm obsoletes the older compression schemes,
and these were removed from the code (cutting the program in half).

These changes were not made lightly by the folks at Info-ZIP.
