Group losses and group profits are bookkeeping artifacts. There are no
'water-tight' financial seals between groups. If the mainframe group
is bleeding and needs cash, this still affects the ability of IBM to
raise capital for new projects, including those in the Personal
Systems group. Holders of IBM debt and equity have to consider overall
corporate performance.

Hi,

I do not have an OS/2 system up yet, but I am being gently pushed
in that direction.  I asked the FrameMaker folks if my MS-Windows
version would run under OS/2.  The official answer is "not reliably".
Then I noticed the one byte patch in the OS/2 FAQ (thank you
Tim).  I less trusting individual might think that FrameMaker had
deliberatly put an OS/2 incompatable instruction in the code, but I
would never think such a thing!

At any rate, I was wondering if anyone had actually attempted the
patch and how well FrameMaker then runs under OS/2.  Also, once
patched will the MAKER.EXE file still run under MS-Windows?  FrameMaker
is the ONE program that is holding me to MS-windows.

I have since heard from others here in NZ who met the Stac rep that they made
exactly this point. In one case, the guy showed her DCF/2 specs and info and
said:"This is your competition......you will have to be equal or better to
sell OS/2 disk compression.....".
 
I think HPFS took her completely off-guard. At first, i don't think she knew
what it was........though she certainly did by the time she left New Zealand.

now it starts to load and flashes (very quickly) before exiting "os2gdi.exe"

No, you're fine.  It's great for a lab setting, where you want local

Well, I just confirmed it: 4dos 4.0X crashes the session when called 
after OS2Speed is loaded. So with 4dos as my primary dos shell loading
OS2Speed, things work fine, but as soon as some program tries to 
shell out (with 4dos as the SECONDARY shell) I get a crash. I don't 
get the problem with command.com (though I do if I load OS2Speed from
a command.com shell and THEN run 4dos).

One option that I've checked (with a good result) is to set 
COMSPEC to command.com so that secondary shells are not 4dos. I'd 
certainly prefer to have 4dos as the secondary shell too, but I'll live
with this... Still, if any of you can think of a better solution, let 
me know.

Hmm...now which author do I complain to?

If you haven't done so, reinstall Word under Win-OS/2.  That will

The scroll bars work with respect to the outermost "envelope" of the

To save others some time looking for the cause of some strange

to have found in it (tested under OS/2 2.0 GA + Service Pack):
    - dragging a file from NC to the Shredder contrary to what is
      said in the docs does NOT result in a deletion of the file;
    - refreshing a file list after a disk change in a floppy
      drive does not always update the bytes free display
      (e.g.~refresh done in Commander mode from the Right menu with
      Refresh) although the new floppy contents IS correctly shown;
    - if extended selection in file lists IS choosen
      in Commander or Desktop mode then it is
      not possible to select the first file/dir in a file list
      (the one at the top of the list);
Has anybody else found other bugs?

I have an AHA-1542B with a WangDat tape drive (also a NEC CDR-84 and a hard

There are a series of patches available for Civilization that allow
it to run under OS/2 very well. The patches also change/add some
features to the game.

The latest I know of is CIV04.ZIP (I think) and is probably
available on ftp.ulowell.edu in the Games/Patches directory
somewhere. Try searching on archie for a name similar to CIV04.

Did you do a Selective Install of WINOS231? If you did, you must have chosen
only the WINDOWS part and not the DOS DPMI support. If this is the case go
back and do a Selective Install. This time make sure to install DOS and Windows
both. They appear on one page. The first half of the page refers to DOS and the
bottom half to Windows. Do install both.

The other possible reason is that you have unselected DOS support during instal

All of the files concerning TE/2 are available at the Oberon Technical Support

From PCWeek, January 25, 1993, page 76:

"We would like to see compiler options open up," said Tom Sherlock,
head of PC software development at Wolfram Research Inc., a Waterloo,
Ontario [sic], software company.  Sherlock used the IBM C Set/2
compiler provided in IBM's C Developer's WorkSet/2 offering for OS/2
2.0 to create a 32 bit version of its Mathematica mathematics
software, Sherlock said.



So, it exists.  Anyone have any contacts at WRI?  I wonder what time frame 
they're working on.

	I currently use runworkplace=c:\os2\cmd.exe. When I heard I could use
Mr. FILE/PM instead of CMD.EXE, I tried it, but it only boots and starts
beeping at me. So I'm back to CMD.EXE. Even that states that it is not where
I have said it was, some SYS error. But since I'm using a 4 meg machine, I
love the increase in speed, and can put up with the SYS error. 
	Any help setting up MR. FILE/PM appreciated.
