Oh, thanks for even reading this article:

I have a problem: I accidentially erased all the (not-hidden) files in the
root of my OS2-boot drive (Now, why arn't they writeprotected from the start?).
Someone told me, that I could retrieve a copy of the CONFIG and the AUTOEXEC
in some \os2\.....\install directory. Well, I found them and retrieved them,
but I still miss some files. While trying to manually retrieving them from the
installation disks I screwed up, and I think I ruined yet another file :-(

What *I* think I'm missing is:

\OS2LDR.MSG
\OS2KRNL
\OS2\DLL\PMWIN.DLL

I might me missing more, but I will be more than happy if you will send me a
UUENCODED/lharc'ed version. 

TIA,

Ole

For some reason the OS2 KXP-1124i printer driver only supports 360x180

360x360 resolution.  Hopefully a new driver will become available soon as
OS/2's poor print quality is the only thing keeping Windows 3.1 on my
system.

good luck,

Date: Wed, 23 Dec 1992 04:11:29 GMT

I have a two disk setup.  The first scsi (0) has OS/2; the second
(1) has SVR4.  I used boot manager to add both partitions to the 
boot menu.  I'd like to select with system comes up.

I've gotten this same setup to work fine on a single disk system,
but when trying to boot off SCSI ID#1 (the second disk which has
a bootable UNIX partition on it), I get the error:

boot: No active partition on disk

Now, the second disk will boot if I remove the first (boot manager
is on the  first SCSI disk) disk and is listed as a bootable partition
under the OS/2 fdisk setup.  Why won't it boot from boot manager?

If someone could help me out with this, I'd GREATLY appreciate it.


Thanks...

Of course, if they came out with an inexpensive CD-ROM drive then we wouldn't
be disillusioned at all--  we'd be happy that we didn't have to swap all those
floppies, worry about someone or something accidently erasing or overwriting
them, etc. I figure ther is a lot of money being made on CD-ROM drives (well,
a lot per drive, anyway-- maybe not a lot total due to the present miniscule
size of the market). The basic mechanical part of the drive is available for
< 100$ (as a quick perusal of the audio section of your favorite superstore
will convince you). Actually that would get you not just the mechanical part
but the mechanics, the laser diode, and the drive control electronics, the
basic digital read electronics-- everything before the DAC's in an audio player
would be useful. The remainder shouldn't really cost that much compared to
DAC's and two halfway decent analog amplification channels. So when will we
see affordable drives?

Followup-To: comp.os.os2.misc

Date: Wed, 30 Dec 1992 16:36:23 GMT

After using the OS/2 for a while on my PC, I seem to have lost the
settings on a few of my objects in the WPS. Specifically, some of the
objects seems to have lost its default view to icon view on double-click
of the objects.

Let me explain it further. Normally, when you double-click on a object,
or folder, it will open up showing its contents as icons. Somehow, some
of the folders on my WPS seem to have lost this default. Double-clicking
doesn't bring up anything anymore. I have to use the right-hand button
on the mouse and choose the menu open-> icon-view before the folder
will be opened.

Does anybody know how to set the default of icon view on double click
of mouse on the object?

Thank you.

Have you installed CD-ROM support? (Or is that a stupid question? But I had
to ask).

Your CONFIG.SYS should contain
a)    a basedev command for your SCSI controller.
b)    IFS=x:\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q (x being the appropriate drive letter)
c)    device=x:\OS2\CDROM.SYS /I /Q /N:4  (N:4 meaning SCSI Id 4)

Your CD-ROM should have the ID 4.
These settings should be made automatically, when you do a selective install
Be sure to include IBM CDROM as well, since IBM drives are really Toshibas
(or so I am told).
It is possible to use DOS to access the OS2 beta. There is good information
on this topic on the CD itself. To install the 2.1 beta from the CD you'll
have to make two disks from images on the CD. The future domain controller
is explicitly listed there as supported controller.

Happy new year!

I'm contemplating buying WorkSet/2 before the discount pricing goes

Has anyone heard any rumors about whether CSet/2 will be replaced by
this C++ package once it becomes available, and whether an upgrade
path from one to the other will be provided?

I know it's WAY to much to ask, but maybe IBM already has a position
on this and is ready to release it to the net???

Thanks in advance for any info,

IBM has some GUI classes in their new C++ (which is in BETA).  I'm
not sure what the REAL difference between what you're proposing and
what IBM will have.  (Of course, yours will Shareware...and designed
for GCC...so there would be a great benefit to those not purchasing
the IBM C/C++...)  I don't know to what extent you will go, versus
what IBM is doing.  You might want to check out the OS/2 PDK and
see for yourself.  If you come up with something better, of course...

For *full* segment definitions, you need CODE, DATA, CONST, BSS and
STACK definitions. Example:


	.386
	INCLUDELIB DOSCALLS.LIB


CODE	SEGMENT PUBLIC FLAT 'CODE'
CODE	ENDS

DATA	SEGMENT PUBLIC FLAT 'DATA'
DATA	ENDS

CONST	SEGMENT PUBLIC FLAT 'CONST'
CONST	ENDS

BSS	SEGMENT PUBLIC FLAT 'BSS'
BSS	ENDS

STACK	SEGMENT STACK FLAT 'STACK'
STACK	ENDS

DGROUP	GROUP DATA,CONST,BSS,STACK
	ASSUME CS:FLAT,DS:FLAT,ES:FLAT,SS:FLAT


STACK	SEGMENT

	BYTE	4000H DUP (?)

STACK	ENDS


CONST	SEGMENT

message	BYTE	13, 10, "Hello, world.", 13, 10

CONST	ENDS


BSS	SEGMENT

count   DWORD	?

BSS	ENDS


CODE	SEGMENT

	EXTERN  DOS32WRITE:PROC
	EXTERN  DOS32EXIT:PROC

main	PROC

	push	OFFSET count
	push    LENGTHOF message
	push    OFFSET message
	push    1
        call    DOS32WRITE

	push	0
	push	1
	call	DOS32EXIT

main	ENDP

CODE	ENDS


	END	main


Build with the commands

	ml -c hello32.asm
	link386 /noi /pm:vio hello32;

No module definition file needed because the stack is already defined
in the source code.

I am using Microsoft C 6.00 on OS/2 1.32. Whenever I link a text mode OS/2

with the wrong libraries.

Which library do I have to link to make my program run in an ordinary OS/2
window ?


Thanks for any info, Ernst.

    My wife, bless her, gave me a CDROM drive for Christmas.  I had it
running under MSDOS within a few hours but had no such luck under OS/2
2.0.  Under MSDOS I took IBM's generic CDROM driver off the November
PDK and installed it according to directions.  Now when I boot OS/2,
the following appears shortly after the startup logos:

    IBM CD-ROM Device Driver / Version 1.50
    SCSI-DD not found
    SYS1201:  The device driver "C:\OS2\SYSTEM\CDROM_G.SYS" specified
        in the DEVICE command on line 71 of the CONFIG.SYS file was
        not installed.  Line 71 is ignored.

    This may occur because of non-standard setups for my CDROM
adapter's I/O address, interrupt number or DMA channel (which I had to
juggle because my system is already loaded with other adapters).  But
this is only a guess because IBM seems to have adopted a policy of
supplying high-level documentation only.  Does anyone know what setup
configuration the generic driver requires, or if its requirement is
variable by invocation argument?
    My drive also doesn't work in a DOS window under OS/2.  An
executable named "mscdex.exe", apparently written by Microsoft, came
with the drive adapter.  Its function under MSDOS is to assign the
CDROM adapter to drive letter E:, which is the next available drive on
my system, and make it accessible there by other DOS programs.  When
executed in a DOS window under OS/2, it produces the complaint,
        Incorrect DOS version
    This also happened at first under MSDOS, but MSDOS provides a
separate program, "setver", which eliminates that complaint if invoked
as a driver in config.sys.  Unfortunately, MDOS under OS/2 does not
contain the setver program, and the DOS 5.0 version will not run under
OS/2 DOS.
    Yes, I know I should have installed one of the CDROMs and adapters
that IBM recommends, but my wife didn't know about 'em.  If anyone can
offer advice for the above problems, I'd much appreciate it.
