I kind of doubt it, especially since the local IBM rep was telling me not half  
an hour ago to expect a Value-Point announcement in the near future.  Probably  
just BG announcing that IBM hardware is a dead-end.  Stand-by to see an  
annoucement that MS bought Gateway!

Just to remind everyone:  the 2.1beta requires you to download sysins.zip
and copy sysinst2.exe to Install Diskette1, if you have a SCSI controller
and another (active?) disk controller in your system.  Don't forget to unzip
and copy the file to Disk1 *before* you start, or you will have trouble doing
so.  I forgot, and repartitioned...and I had to go through some trouble before
I was able to patch Disk1 (ie I had to download and unzip the file on my
FAT partition which I hadn't touched--it would have been worse if I had had
to do this on a floppy)!

Don't forget!!!

How about:

10.  An option (a switch) to allow making windows active WITHOUT bringing
them into focus (that is, without redrawing the entire window)?  Often
seeing just a part of the active window is all I need.

11.  A shutdown with just one prompt.  I am looking for a way to avoid
getting prompts from all the running applications and telling each one that
yes, I want its window closed.  Or perhaps there is a way to do this and I

Do you know how much the upgraded ROM is and whether they will let you install
it and ship the old one back ??? I have been meaning to call them and

Just to make it perfectly clear...the 2.1beta contains the Windows 3.1
applets, including the cardfile.

Personally, I had some problems with WLO...for example, Write had a serious
printing bug (had to do with inability to set margins properly).

I still have to reinstall 2.1WIN to get seamless to work....

There's also another Selective Uninstall utility that is now in

The source code for Fractint is usually available, but I can't seem to find

Hi...you need to tell hte AHA174X.ADD to not give control of your device
to the Scsi manager (OS2SCSI.DMD) or the DASD manager (OS2DASD.DMD).
If the device you want Corel SCSI to control is SCSI id 4, then:

BASEDEV=AHA174X.ADD /A:0 /!SM:4 /!DM:4

The A: option specifies controller 0 (the only one on my system).
The !SM and !DM tell AHA174X.ADD not to give the Scsi Manger and the Dasd
Manager control of the device id 4 (in this case).

Even though I only have 1 adapter, it seems that I have to specify the A:0
anyway...

I'm not quite him, but I think I helped :)

Diamond has been putting people off about drivers since last April (ie.
they'll be here soon/next quarter/...). I believe that Orchid sent someone
to the IBM course on display drivers, but Diamond probably has no-one, and
hence is waiting on S3 to deliver a basic driver they can play with. S3 is
probably waiting on the DDK. And so on. Any bets on how many people at
Diamond write drivers? My guess is '1' and he/she is doing Win and NT
drivers.

	I tried the sio/vsio drivers for a while as well. I had the best
results if I made them last in config.sys and removed and reference to
com/vcom.sys and mode statements.

IOW remove, don't just rem, the com.sys and vcom.sys lines as well as the mode=
statement. Seemed to work for me but I certainly won't guarantee anything.

-EXPECT:  Win-OS/2 to open and run
-RESULT:  Error message stating that program couldn't be
-         opened, check settings.
-CAUSE:   Install forgets to put winos2.com in the
-         /OS2/MDOS/WINOS2 directory.

I found that I could not re-install WinOS2 after getting the YNARI
error.  To fix the problem, I ran unpack on the file on disk 16 to
view the file list.  During the normal install process if there is any
error during the unpack, it will not finish.  Mine had an error
because it tried to overwrite a .dll that was in use.  Delete all
files listed in that archive before reinstalling.  Note that not all
files are in \os2\mdos\winos2 or .\system.
