Does anyone know whether WP has a competitive upgrade from W4W 1.1a to WP4W
5.2?  Or, a phone number where I can ask myself?

       OS/2 Upload Information Template for ftp-os2.nmsu.edu

Program Description [ Spreadsheet Calculator sc 6.21, 16-bit ]

Program Source: (ftp-os2.nmsu.edu, posted by Walter)
Proposed directory: 
  OS/2 version ANY
                    os2/all/miscutils/

Notes:
1. This is a much modified version of the public domain spread sheet sc,
posted several years ago by Mark Weiser as vc, originally by James Gosling.

CHANGES lists the changes since 6.1 to 6.21.
        Sc6.16 was released to comp.sources.misc and four sets of patches
        bring Sc6.16->6.17->6.18->6.19->6.21.

Current maintainer: nstar!sawmill!prslnk!buhrt (Jeff Buhrt)

2. Walter posted a 32-bit version to ftp-os2.nmsu.edu. This 16-bit version
is based on his port (but a different curses was used).

3. Hessling's very nice PDCurses 2.0 was used in place of the curses libs
on hobbes. PDCurses is much faster. The curses libs on hobbes have at least
one serious bug. I recommend PDCurses strongly over the curses on hobbes.

4. Brady Flowers posted an early version of sc to hobbes in 1990. This is 
a much-improved version.  Perhaps os2/all/os2sc.zoo should be deleted.

Now, that IS unfortunate. These guys seem unaware that people outside the US
generally have lower purchasing power (in US dollars) to start with....then
they jack up the price by 40%!!!
 
US$99 is already NZ$180 plus another NZ$60-90 for shipping. The US$139 price
will be NZ$265 + shipping ='s NZ$320????

The average annual income is usually lower in NZ anyway......same goes for
most countries outside the US.
 
Yet US users are only paying $99 for the same thing. I moan about how
international users - who actually pay MORE (as a proportion of what they
earn) even at US street prices - get wacked even harder. 
 
I do not advocate piracy, but these guys are begging for it with a pricing
policy like that.

I'm sorry, but could you please be more clear about what you mean.  What
you've written above makes little sense.  If you mean that you cannot
restore a minimized Seamless WIN-OS/2 Ami Pro session, then this is clearly
wrong.  I have no problems with this.  Use Ctrl-ESC to bring up the Windows
List and then double click on the Ami Pro entry to restore it.  You can
also use the Minimized Windows Viewer for the same thing.  Now, if this
doesn't work then what you've described above sounds more like video card
problems.  Seamless VGA seems to behave without problems on most cards
(Paradise boards seem to be the exception).  I'm running with Seamless
WIN-OS/2 at 800x600x256, and I've seen very little talk of Seamless
WIN-OS/2 problems at this resolution.

Um, when you send me mail could you phrase it like I didn't make this little

WP confusion!  I talked to someone on the wp4win 1-800 line yesterday,
and they told me that they were expecting wp6.0 by Spring 93, and wp for os/2
by Fall 93 (sounded very tentative though).  The main reason for the call was to 
upgrade to wp4win 5.2...I hope the claims of better performance under os/2 are true!

As noted above, 188 is available. In addition, you can always enter

	SET CARRIER OFF

to disable the check for carrier to allow CONNECT although to actual
connection is indicated by the modem.

It is a real mahjongg not the solitaire type.

It runs under OS/2.

Archiving some text files it took about 2.1 seconds with 32-bit zip
1.9 and about 9.4 seconds with HPACK 0.78 (also 32-bit). That's a
factor of four to five. Not a problem with OS/2 (put it in the

something of similar size. :-)

???? You cannot "connect" until you "dial". Look at ckermit.ini. Make sure
it has your modem listed in 'set modem' and check the 'set port'. Then
do 'dial 123-4567' to dial. Then do connect.  Read ckoker.doc (packaged
in the ckermit 5A(188) files in pub/uploads) to find the procedure to
automate the logon with scripts, once you get things working.

Sorry.  As far as I know, you have to boot DOS and run it from Windows.
Call Wolfram Research Inc. and complain about their lack of an OS/2 version.
Tell them how great Mathematica could be with multi-threading, etc. on a
real OS like OS/2 2.0.  I think their number is 217-398-0700 or 800-441-MATH.
You can also E-Mail them at info@wri.com.  I encourage everybody else
interested in Mathematica and OS/2 to do the same.

i couldn't get the speed bar to work running seamlessly before SP. after
SP it worked fine seamlessly. however, i have a fairly serious problem
now that if i minimize ami pro when running seamlessly i can't get it to
back again as while the cursor changes to the right shape etc for a winos
window, actual window doesn't display! i can reminimize it again by "clicking"
where the minimize button ought to be! hence i still run full screen
- the speed bar has always work full screen.

i've mentioned a couple of other problems i've had here which i seem
to have fixed now.

1) grammar checker ... my ami pro (US edition) came with two spelling
modes (american and british) so i set language to british. ami uses this
setting to select the grammar checker but i only got an "american" version
so it couldn't find it.

the solution for me was to rename LOTUSAC1.GCS to LOTUSBR1.GCS and it seems
ok now.

2) chgfont macro couldn't find fontdll.exe - this had worked before i
reinstalled everything to do the SP. from a message someone sent me i
found that fontdll.exe was in amipro/macros. having played around with
the chgfont macro i found that it just plain refused to find the file
in that directory (i even hardwired the exact file name into the
variable it sent to the findfirst$ macro) but if i moved the file into
the enclosing directory and adjusted the macro appropriately it worked
fine.

anyone got a clue what's up here???

3) i reported general flakiness after apply SP ... this turned out to be
due to lack of swap space ... in the SP upgrade (which included FAT->HPFS and
OS/2 reinstall) several of the factors had changed and i'd ended up with
a maximum of 5MB swap rather than the 10Mb that i'd had before. having
taken action to fix this things seem stable again!

From what I read, you must reformat your OS/2 partition, if you encounter
the infamous 'PRODUCT.EXE' error. Thats what I did when i installed the
service pack (just to re-adjust the partition sizes... in doing this i
seem to have missed all the hair-pulling with the SP). 
Anyone else care to comment?
