There have been rumours circulating that WP Corp. will release WP 
5.x for OS/2 and that it will be a 16-Bit version. I have contacted
WP Corporation regarding this matter. According to the official,
they are working on WP 6.0 for OS/2 which will be released shortly 
after the DOS version. It will be a complete 32-Bit version and it
will take OS/2 capabilities such as multithreading. According to
the official, it features (beta) speed advantages over the DOS and
Windows version. He pointed out that it takes WP Corp. some time
to port an application to another platform but it will be a 32-Bit,
Version 6 program.

Best Regards,

While we're at it, everytime i load the Ckermit program the first message i
get is "com1 can't open port" even though i have set port com2 in my .ini file.
It continues on after the error message and loads the program normally. Is it

Yes it runs, yes with huge arrays (64k double precision FFT requires 512kbytes)
Yes the debugger works with watch variables, break points etc.
No special attention to the dos settings seemed to be necessary to me.
Now those huge FFT's run in the background while I read the News.

Definitely a better DOS than DOS

Summary: Almost working

Keywords

Having installed gtak 201 binaries on a friend's machined with
a Future Domain 950 and Wangtek 6130 (?), I have some questions.
Doing a 'tar cp .' seems to chunk away nicley, with only an error
message about not being able to back up swapper.dat.  Fine.  Reading
with 'tar tpv' gives several errors about unrecognized file type and
it stops part way thru the archive.  After much trial and error, it
seems it can be restarted at the point it dies, and it only complains
that what it sees doesn't look like tar format, then it picks up for
awhile, and the error process is repeated.  All this on an hpfs volume,
with much the same story when run against dos fat partitions on the
same disk.  xp and xpv give much the same story.  System is a 486/33
isa with the service pack installed and the winos2 3.1 beta.

Any suggestions for fixes or requests for information that was left
out?  TIA!

This is related, but probably not a solution for you..... 
I bought an Intel Satisfaxion/400 which only has a 16450 UART, but has
a 512k buffer on the board (yes, that's right, 1/2 a meg for a buffer!).
I routinely run my modem over a 14.4K v.42bis connection in both DOS and
OS/2 sessions, and I NEVER lose characters or get a 'lost' modem.  Not
only that, but the 'pulse' monitor app shows that the system load doesn't
flatline at near 100% during downloads/uploads like any of the other
modems I tried.  And this was even with the 'old' drivers and before
I applied the Service Pak.  Anyway, someone interested in buying a modem
might want to take a look at the Intel Satisfaxion line.  I personally
run the modem on COM3, IRQ5, Port 3E8 and the modem on IRQ11, and it
works great with OS/2.  And even though it only has a 16450 UART on the
board, the 512k buffer does a better job helping the computer cope with a
high-speed connection that a 16550 UART ever could.  I'm really happy
with the modem, and no, I have no connection with Intel besides being
a 90% satisfied customer (I'd be 100% satisfied if Intel would port
their wonderful OCR Fax software over to OS/2)...

If you are using a HPFS partition just set the environment var HOME in 
config.sys. (ie. set HOME=c:/home) Then place you .bashrc in that directory.
and this should fix your problem. There is currently a bug with bash reading
the bashrc on a FAT partition. I ported bash to OS/2 and use it as my only
shell, though it still is rough around the edges.

Did you save it under Sytos Plus format or Sytos 3.x format?

If you saved it under Sytos Plus format no problem. If you saved it
under 3.x format, problem. I couldn't get my OS/2 version of Sytos
Plus to recognize any of my 3.x format tapes and had to use the

I just called the CMS people today about the CMS Jumbo support under Sytos Plus.

There is, in my opinion, one serious problem.  According to the two CMS reps
that I spoke to, the Tapes created under Sytos Plus will not work with DOS
based tape software and vice-versa.  While that is acceptable for storage/
backup/archiving purposes, I need to use the tape also to transport data
from DOS-based end-user sites to my OS/2 system and vice-versa.  My only
solution, then, is to get out of OS/2 and boot (ergh) DOS and run the tape
software and re-enter OS/2 or possibly buying Sytos Plus for DOS at $350
per end-user site.  (Neither is pretty, although I can certainly live with
the first alternative for now...)

Oh well...

	I used Gammatech to recover files from a corrupted HPFS Volume. It was
so badly corrupted that booting from OS/2 boot floppy and running chkdisk only
resulted in OS/2 being unable to find the C: partition. But Gammatech found the
Volume, Files, and recovered them!

qualified for the free upgrade, and he would drop it in the mail that day. He
also allowed me to Dial in (Modem) and DL the HPFS recover Utility that day, so
we wouldn't have to wait for the mail!

Subject: any good database app development products??

I need to write some database apps that are much more complex than
IBM's Query Manager can handle.  Originally I purchased Smalltalk
with the DB interface to do the job, but I don't feel comfortable
leaving such an app with people who don't know _any_ "real" programming.

So...I was looking through PC Mag and saw an ad for Computer Associates'
dBFast.  Looks like the kind of product I'm looking for: dialog boxes,
radio buttons, bitmaps, ...

Is there anything like this for OS/2?  How about one that also handles
sound, too?

Thanks!
