I have a simple question about epm. If I have two lines
a a 
b b
and then add to the first line so that it wraps, I get
a a a a 
a b b

What I want is
a a a a
a
b b
How do I get epm to keep the line break I had inserted?

It is intended to be a backup for the built-in UnDelete feature.
Namely that it is recommended (though not required) that you use
another drive when you undelete.  Also, it is like Phoenix in that it
takes a while to scan the hard disk (HPFS).

README for nenscript version 1.13
Craig Southeren 2-October-1992
---------------------------------

This directory contains the sources for nenscript, a clone of the
proprietary enscript program from Adobe Systems. For those who have
never used enscript, it is a good ASCII to Postscript converter. 

This the second version of nenscript I have released. The first
version (1.12 as of 20 August 1992) was received well, but it really
needed a few changes. Thanks to everyone who sent in suggestions
and code fragments.

nenscript was written by me over a period of several months whilst
I was working at Computer Sciences of Australia as a contractor. 
As a regular net-watcher, I saw that several people had (over the
years) asked for a public domain version of enscript. Seeing as I
had got tons of useful stuff off the net, I though this looked like
a good opportunity to pay back the net community. So I convinced
my manager that this would be a Good Thing.

The main features of nenscript are:

	. produces Postscript output which fully conforms to
	  the Document Structuring Conventions
	. support for normal and "gaudy" output
	. support for single or double column output
	. allows insertion of titles and headers in any font.
	. multiple copies of a document

Features additional to nenscript are:
	. automatic wrapping of long lines
	. availability under MSDOS 
	. executable is self contained - no additional files required

The main feature that is NOT supported by nenscript is the ability
to use fonts other than Courier for text output. This would require
access to full font tables which I don't have have.

Don't know whether this has anything specific to do with the beta, but these

Harry:

Maybe the following trick helps you:

   - Get the object menu of CLI-object (OS/2-window, MB2)
   - Open "settings", choose "program"
   - Enter "CMD.EXE" in path and file-name
   - Enter "/K mode co80,35" as parameter (which tells OS/2 to keep the
     session in which initially the command "mode co80,35" is executed,
     meaning 80 lines and 35 lines; change the command to whatever you
     want
   - Save and start the session; in the above example you will get a
     screen with 35 lines (could be 100 too if "mode co80,100")
   - If you want OS/2 to automatically adjust the window (to get rid of
     the scroll bars): Press the Shift-key and klick the maximize-button;
     from now on the window will be fully shown
   - If you want to scroll via the key-pad, check the Scroll-menu-option
     in the OS/2-window system-setting (left upper icon in frame) and you
     use key-up and key-down to scroll

I'm having a very strange problem with mice.  The application is Miracle
Piano.  The same situation occurs either under DOS or OS/2, with either
a MSC White Mouse or a BSR Ballistic Mouse (serial mouse on COM1).

Under DOS (in Miracle Piano), the mouse cursor slowly floats to the bottom
of the screen.  Under OS/2, the mouse cursor moves very rapidly to the
lower right corner of the screen.  To click on anything on the screen it
is necessary to move the mouse past the the clickbox and then click as it
races throught the box.

The tech support people at Software Toolworks, while helpful, have been
completely unable to provide a fix for this problem.  Since the same
problem is manifest with mice from two vendors (and the same happens with
the White Mouse in either MicroSoft or Logitech mode), I am convinced that
the problem is probably an interrupt problem.  What should I be looking
for?  I am completely flummoxed...

I called them and asked that same question. They said that they had no
dates yet but that when available, the normal upgrade prices would
be offered. So you might as well get the $99 deal now. If the OS/2 version
comes out within 6 months it should be less than $50 to upgrade. If it takes
longer, it should still be less than $100.

I am like a number of others I read here.  I have W4W 2.0 on my system
at work and use it rather well under OS/2 2.0.  This is because I
need to exchange documents with alot of Windows users.

I am also the owner of W4PM 1.x.  It was OK but not great.  For me, it
worked better than the corresponding Window's version (prior to 2.0).
However, when I saw MS's direction and balked at helping Mr. Gates pay
for his new mansion with products that are substandard and poorly maintained
and with no guarantee of a future (I'm referring in particular to the
OS/2 versions of their products) and wanting a real OS/2 application
rather than depending on Windows emulation, I tried and moved to Describe.
It is rather good.  I've seen a demonstration of their new user interface
last summer and I hope it will be out soon.  It has done a number of things
that I really wanted.  However, there were few areas that I felt I lost
something and many where I saw a gain.  Never having been a Word Perfect
user (I really didn't like it that much under DOS and since I'm happy
with what I have, I have no motive to move), unlike others, I'm not
waiting for them.  Both Word Perfect and Ami Pro will probably also
have great products, but I like Describe (which is a 32-bit application
as well as available in OS/2 1.x 16 bit form).

Originally, the colors of PMChess were allright, but after changing the

It does not update the colors correctly when the system colors change.

If you need Word for some reason, though, I have had no real problems
(other than the usual memory-hog problems with WIN-OS2) running
WinWord 2.0 under Win-OS2.  But if you don't need word, I'd recommend
getting an OS/2 app so it'll run faster, better, and without a Windows
emulator.

Does anyone know where I might find a version of rz & sz (the Unix zmodem

under emx 0.8e, but 1) I'm not even sure what flavor of Unix emx is
supposed to support, and 2) rzsz for Unix expects to use /dev/tty and 
OS/2 doesn't have one o' these :^) ... any suggestions?

I need this for the control-character escaping that rzsz supports (m2z 
doesn't).  Maybe Forsberg _sells_ a version of DSZ for OS/2?

Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm sure somebody will) but didn't Corel buy most
of the modules in ver 3.0 from someone else. CorelDRAW is 32-bits its the
other componnets that are windows apps. BYTE may be correct but what does
it mean...just that Corel can't cant find an OS/2 version of Chart, Paint

BTW has anyone first hand experiance with CorelDraw 2.5 ofr OS/2. How is

With some help from netters, it now works.

I had to create the lplain format file using

I also forgot that "&" is the command separator character, so I have

window, and (multiple() text windows.  Much better interface than WP for 
Windows.  Excellent menu organization and subwindowing.

Possible problems with Winfax and OS/2:

 o The windows session running Winfax must be a full screen session (see
   the OS/2 readme file).

 o Hardware flow control needs to be turned on.  This is done with the
   windows control panel.

I have noticed this too.  if you try using something like kermit in a windowd
session, the vt100 emulation is _much_ faster than that of TE/2.  Even a
windowed dos session is faster than TE/2 in vt100 emulation. For this
reason, I am not using TE/2 and am waiting for a better implimentation which
is the wonderful thing about shareware!!! :-)
