The title says it all.  I just installed a 80387 math coprocessor and I want
to know how I get EMX to realize that it is there.  Also, are there any other
programs that could take advantage of it (Emacs, OS/2 itself,...)

This function does not exist - but I'll add it as a suggestion for

Hi folks

   I have a question about the Dec PDK CD.  I recall someone on
one of the OS/2 newsgroups said they received the Dec PDK as a gift.
Does this mean IBM is shipping free Dec PDK CD to all current members
of the DAP program this month?  Or do we have to order it for $15
ourselves?  I'm unsure whether to order it or wait for it.
TIA

Hi All,

A while ago I got the WorkSet/2 package (gotta love those promotional deals :-)
and just today got around to playing with it.  I went through the tutorial
fine, except when I got to the part about moving the cursor over printf and
typing ctl-h (in EPM) to get help for it.  

Well, I was puzzled, since the install program had put the environment
variable 

SET HELPNDX=DDE4.NDX+EPMKWHLP.NDX 

(or something like that) into my config.sys for me when I had installed it some-
time ago.  

I played around a bit and finally got the online help to work by putting the
full path names of the two files in question into that environment variable
and restarting.  For the record, I had installed to drive d, but left all other
options alone.

I don't know if this was a known bug before I found it, but if it wasn't, it is
now.  If it was, is there a fix (in the form of a CSD) I can apply to correct
this?

I was actually looking for Vio calls, but as another poster has already
noted, these (along with Mou and Kbd) are missing (which is a real bitch).

The other thing I was after was and API index so that you can configure
KwikINF (right name?) to give you API help inside EPM for example. (From
memory) all I've been able to find so far are the indexes for
the C language.

Note: I'm not using the Nov PDK. When I get this, will it make
a difference?

Matt is indeed right on the problem.  This may be the exact thing 
that happened.  But what I am actually concern about is whether
there is a such a bug in gcc in general.  I read about this in 
linux newsgroup but nobody address it anymore.

I read this news just when I was having that problem so I carelessly
assume it is device problem but not user's problem ( oops! )

Thanks anyway.  So, anyone know about that may be gcc problem?

I was trying to use emx 0.8e gcc.  I my program, I need to have a 
lge static data sturcture in the beginning of main().

The program compiled fine using gcc. ( as usual, it crash using
Borlandc C++ 3.1 cause each element in my array is > 64k, and I 
have a thousand of them. )

But when I tried to run it, it tried to claim all my disk space
as swap file.  Even I have 20 meg on my HD, it still tried to 
use it all and keeps on going until it crash OS/2 all.

I've heard that it is a general gcc ( whether UNIX or OS/2 ) problem.
And from the newsgroups, I was told that FSF is trying to fix
this.

Wondering whether anybody have this problem before and whether
there is a way to fix this? I mean without changing the program
at all.  There is some other ways I can implement the data structure
but I am curious to see how to fix that problem

Thank you all in advance

That should be sufficient, provided that those files exist somewhere in the
current directory, EPMPATH, DPATH, directory from which EPM.EXE was loaded,
or the PATH (searched in that order).

where I hear these CD-ROMs are hard to find).

This is the 11/92 release of the IBM OS/2 Professional developer's kit.  
It contains:
	Membership is the IBM Developer's Assistance Program
	A coupon for a special promotion on Toshiba 3301 CD-ROM drives
		($400US internal/$450US external)
	OS/2 with the latest fixes and the 32-bit graphics engine
		(and a copy of the Service Pak)
	Support for Microsoft Windows 3.1 (beta)
	OS/2 2.0 Technical Library (all 17 books) online
	TCP/IP Network drivers with programming libraries (beta)
	IBM C/C++ compiler (beta)
	Tookit (beta)
	and much more!...

	Plus, this includes the extra floppy disk with the AT&T class
	libraries.

I'm asking $25.00US for each (shipping incl.).  Send email to

If your HELPNDX variable includes EPMKWHLP.NDX, then using the help key from
EPM should start up VIEW.EXE with the proper programming reference (as long
as you installed the on-line documentation).

I would like to learn something here so I will state the obvious and
see why I am wrong.  A structure where each element exceeds 64k with
a thousand elements is a 64Meg structure.  It does not seem to me to 
be unusual that OS/2 is trying to allocate a 64Meg slice of virtual
memory which translates into a 64Meg addition to your swapper file.
It seems natural that 20Meg of (free) disk space is not enough.  I
to am using emx/gcc 0.8e and though not as ambitious am also using
structures that have large elements and many elements in the structure.
Is this right?

Uh, I think you need to let people know just what kind of CD drive it
is and what kind of adapter it's using.  If it isn't a SCSI drive, I
wouldn't hold out a lot of hope.  However, some people have apparently
made other sorts of drive work, so perhaps they can help you if you
give them enough information.

Subject: How does multithreading use an EISA bus?

In theory, a peripheral on an EISA bus should be able to use a DMA handler
to access any main memory that isn't locked by the CPU.  And in theory, a
mulit-threaded OS takes advantage of this capability.

In practice, does OS/2 do this on an EISA bus?  Or an MCA bus, for that
matter?

How is it done?  Is it done invisibly by a device driver, or does the
application programmer have control over the process?  Feel free to be
technical; I'm soon to become an OS/2 programmer.
