Mine came with a card that said: 

"Youcan use this upgrade package to install OS/2 2.o on your personal compuer
over existing DOS or OS/2 operating systems or DOS with Microsoft Windows.
With this upgrade you can migrate your existing DOS and Windows application
programs.

WARNING: DO NOT FORMAT YOUR HARD DISK before installing this upgrade.
Formatting will cause loss of data.
 
Follow the OS/2 2.o Installation Guide to install the OS/2 upgrade package on
your personal computer.
 
The upgrade package expects to find a DOS or OS/2 operating system on your
disk. If it does not, you will see this message on your screen:
 
	Installation of the OS/2 2.0 Upgrade cannot proceed.
	A version of DOS or the OS/2 operating system must be 
	present on the hard disk. Refer to the instructions
	included with the OS/2 2.o Upgrade package.
 
If you see this message, contact your IBM service representative for
assistance."
 
That seems pretty clear.........

Do you think IBM will recognize his help? It may help bolster OS/2 acceptance

NOT! That would make entirely TOO MUCH SENSE!

There is no way to do this directly from the WPS.  What I do is run a
color-setting program (like Norton's SA) in the autoexec.bat, which
runs every time a DOS window or full-screen is opened.

Do you have any further info? RACF (at least on MVS, where I'm used to working
with it) is a very powerful and flexible security system, but it's a bit
intimidating for the first-time admin. It'll be interesting to see how they

Sounds like DOS_BACKGROUND_EXECUTION is set to off. That's the only thing that

The WPS equivalent is to drag a Folder template from your Templates
folder to wherever you want the new directory created.  (It
essentially abstracts from directories.)

Note that you can save some steps by using your drive objects and
clicking on an existing folder with mouse button two.  You will then
get a Create Another option which you can use to create a
subdirectory.

I just installed OS/2 on a SCSI system with DOS and I have

How can I get OS/2 to use my Microsoft mouse on com1?  It
works fine under DOS, but when I boot OS/2 with the boot manager,
I get the following error message (after the OS/2 logos):

	SYS1201: The device driver "D:\OS2\MDOS\VMOUSE.SYS" specified
	in the device commmand on line 62 of CONFIG.SYS was not 
	installed.  Line 62 is ignored.

I hit "enter" to boot OS/2, but I do not get a mouse!  I sometimes
see the little watchclock cursor symbol flashing only.  How can
I get my mouse to work?

I have reproduced a portion of my OS/2 config.sys below.

Yup, yup. I think it is a commercial you have to see a few times to know

On a different note, one of my soap-opera taping friends showed me

Video:        Paradise Professional SVGA  to  Tseng ET4000 local bus.

I'm keeping the same harddrive, so that doesn't need changing.
Actually, nothing else is changing besides the motherboard and
video.

I know that I need to create a new SVGADATA.PMI file, but am unsure of
any other changes.  I also probably need to get the VSVGA patch, since
my ET4000 chip is batch TC6100AF. (according to the bug list found on

TC6059AF)

We are experiencing the following:  We are developing under WIN-OS2.  If
we leave the PC alone (overnight, out-for-lunch, etc.) we will get a GP
fault when we return.  Typically it is with DDEAGENT.. which we are not
using.  So, we closed it.  Now, the same error comes up in CLIPBOARD.

ie.

Clipboard has caused an error in WIN-OS2
GP fault in module OS2K286.EXE at 0001:214E.

Any ideas?

We are also experincing a problem developing in Visual Basic in WIN-OS2.
While doing a number of cutting and pasting we can get a GP fault in the
VGA.DRV.. it shuts down our VB session.

Any ideas?

Just as a side note.. we are using the OS/2 Requester for OS/2 v2.0.  (not
the beta.)

We are continuing to test different configurations (with and without OS/2
Requester).

Thanks.

It isn't $hareware, it's a comercial app.
IF you see it available for d/l, freq, ftp, what-have-you, anywhere, it's illegle<sp?>

Does anyone else have one?  Have you gotten it to work with OS/2.
This is the only troublesome application I have.  The software
runs, but the FAX's modem won't make the connection after dialing.

This is the simple non-CAS FAX-only (no modem) internal board from
about two years ago.
