Yes, thanks, this has been pointed out to me, and has been noted on CIS,
so hopefully the people there will be able to send mail messages back.
But the traffic in the beta forum is pretty heavy, so it may be some
time before a specific reply appears. At a guess, people may post some
generally applicable messages on the Net before an e-mail comes back.

I get the generic "Program has incountered an error" message.  Ultima 7 uses

The OS/2 exe is in a file elm23exe.zoo.  I'm pretty sure

I must disagree.  IMHO, the WPS is for the average user and so is the
installation (at least the ones I did).

Installation:  I don't know about other people but for me it was as simple
as put the disks in and answer a few questions.

I suspect many of the installation problems come from not buying great hardware
(the old pay me now or pay me later routine).  Of course, the original
discussion covered Macs and how money doesn't matter.  So, for this discussion
let us say we are discussing a PS/2 model 70-B21.

WPS:  What can I say?  When I first used it, I disliked it.  Now I won't go
back.  IBM designed it by taking Joe average off the street and asking them
how they thought a computer should work.  They set it up and let Joe average
try it.  They video taped him, etc.  Went back and redesigned, etc.  IMHO,
this was the way to go.

I have a two drive system.  To move files from D: to C: or C: to D:, the GUI
is much faster and *safer* than the command line.  An example is when I wanted
to move DeScribe and its 12 directories from D: to C:.

(I keep shadows of all drives on the desktop.)

I opened drive D and found DeScribe.  I drug it over to drive C.  I went on to
other work.  As for being slow, it depends.  On my system and for me it was
not to slow (though I'd like a drive with a 1+GByte/second transfer rate for
under $3,000 and with GBytes of room - today).

Organization: Auburn University, AL

I have compiled Piet Tutelaers' Ps2pk 1.3 using EMX/gcc 0.8e. 

 When do you need ps2pk?
 ----------------------
 Ps2pk is a tool that converts a PostScript type1 font into a corres-
 ponding TeX PK font.  The tool is especially interesting if you want
 to use fully hinted type1 fonts in your DVI previewer (instead of the
 unhinted type1 fonts currently used in GhostScript) or on a printer
 that has no PostScript interpreter.


From:	IN%"P.T.H.Tutelaers@urc.tue.nl"  2-OCT-1992 04:29:58.49

 I have put the zip file in ~ftp/pub/tex/ps2pk-binaries/emx as ps2pk13.zip.
 I also supplied a README (see at the end). Perhaps you can announce it on
 comp.os.os2.apps. So people can come to you for problems!


 ----------------------- README --------------------
 This is ps2pk version 1.3 compiled with GCC based upon the memory extender
 from Eberhard Mattes (EMX). It should run on any 386 with MSDOS (with a
 coprocessor) and OS/2 (even without coprocessor). If you have a 386 without
 a coprocessor and use MSDOS you may want to get ../djgpp/ps2pk12.zip
 instead of this package.

 Questions about ps2pk to Piet Tutelaers <rcpt@urc.tue.nl>. Regarding this
 port to MSDOS and OS/2: Darrel Hankerson <hank@ducvax.auburn.edu>.

 Happy fonting!

Then they are dead as far as I`m concerned. If I had bought PM Word or PM Excel
and they tell me to "upgrade" the next version to Windows I would suspect them
to choose CP/M for their next "upgrade".

But since NT will run WinWord 2.0 (correct me if I`m wrong here) there will be
no need for a version that supports any feature that NT has over 3.1.

First, make sure the RAM setting is as high as possible. Probably 640K.
Next, give it a bit of EXPANDED memory. You may also want to play with the

Doubtless I've done something stupid, as I haven't seen a bunch of
complaints about this, but when I boot up OS/2 and run Word for Windows
2.0, I don't use Word for very long before I start getting "Not enough
memory: close some windows and press Enter" messages, accompanited by
a lot of beeping.  Trouble is, I don't have any other windows open
to close.

The funny part is, if I fire up Aladdin, two DOS windows, PMGlobe,
and Klondike Solitare, *then* start Word for Windows, I never have
any problem.  (It doesn't have to be specifically these things,
just "A bunch of stuff.")

I'm running a generic clone (OPTI chipset, AMI Bios, 486) with 9M of
RAM, and there's about 10M of disk free.  I've fiddled around with the
Windows settings for WfW, but nothing I've tried so far seems to help.

Does anybody have any ideas on what might be causing this, and how
to fix it?

 Both programs are replacements for the command line shell (4Dos replaces 
Command.com, 4Os2 replaces CMD.EXE). They offer a huge number of 
improvements to the base shell that make life at the command line much 
easier. 

 My personal favorite feature is the ability to type the first one or two 
letters of a file name and hit TAB. Both programs will find the first file 
in the current directory with those first letters and complete the filename 
on the command line. You can also hit tab again to get the _next_ file.

 There are also many other improvements, like a greatly expanded batch 
language, automatic swapping of system data to disk, XMS, or EMS, a built in 
hypertext help system with examples (in OS/2 AND Dos).

 You can get both of them from most well equipped ftp sites (i.e. hobbes, 
wuarchive). They are fully functional, non-nagware shareware programs that 
run (I believe) about $40 each to register them.

Create a file called alt-meta.el, put it in your Emacs lisp directory and
and add the following line to your .emacs file:

(load "alt-meta.el")

Enjoy,

Try using directory manager version 2.0.  This is a Norton Utilities
like program that is 32 bit and runs in WPS, supports drag'n'drop
as well as keyboard equivalents.  You will never use the OS/2 file
manager again after you use dirman, and you may just break the 
command line habit.

See my post for more details in this group.

	I am about to buy a 14.4 bps  Fax/modem and wanted to check to make
sure that my purchase will work with PMfax.  My consideration for a modem
are Supra, Boca or PC Logic (cardinal OEM) at this point.  Does anybody
have a list of PMfax compatible modems or know if any of these work with
PMfax.  Also what other fax software is avaliable for OS/2.

Thanks,
james

I am trying to use Word4win2.0 in OS/2 using ATM fonts.  When I go to equation
editor and type a text equation.  Any style in the eq. editor I use looks OK
in the editor, but when I update it to the document, it looks all screwed up in
the document.  Any style(of font, using define under styles) that I try all do
this.  Is there any way to use the truetype fonts??
