I think the answer is that IBM knows that supporting Windows 3.1
is important to some of our customers, so we've comitted to doing it
as quickly as possible. If you were at the Comdex OS/2 2.0 Live!
demo, or saw a tape or live broadcast of it at one of the rollouts,
you'd have seen the last thing the Lee Reiswig demonstrated, namely
a post-GA driver of OS/2 2.0 with seamless windows 3.1 support
integrated in. That was less than 24 hours after the 3.1 code hit store
shelves. It will be in the forthcoming updates, along with more display
drivers, the 32 bit graphics engines and whatever else the folks
in Boca cook up in the near future.

just in case those guys are reading this group.

i found a bug in 4os2 piping on hpfs drives.

the command:

	dir | tee t.tmp 

works fine on a fat drive but try it out on an 
hpfs drive if you're in the mood for some laughs.

4os2 has some good features and i intend to buy 
it and recommend it to my friends--when this
bug is fixed.

OS/2 does support the Deskjet 500 (and the Dekjet 500 driver works on 
a Deskjet +)....

You use the Epson 6000 EPL driver (there is also the choice for Deskjet 500)
and it works great without any cartridges needed!  I've been using it for a 
while now on my DJ+ with no problems!!  Its an Epson driver, but it works like

Greetings, world!  I have recently been reading about Ami Pro for
Windows.  Unfortunately (according to the man I spoke with today) there
are no plans for an OS/2 version.  Does there exist a similar software
package for OS/2, that is comparable to AmiPro?

And what about spreadsheets?  I (unfortunately) use Windows at work, and
have gotten used to Excel (it actually is a nice spreadsheet) and was
wondering about a similar or (hopefully) better spreadsheet for OS/2.

Thanks for your opinions!

It seems Stacker for OS/2 already exists. Egghead seems to start selling it

The performance of os2 with 4 megs of memory is poor.

Things run fine once they are open, but navigating the workplace
shell, especially while printing, is painfully slow.  And what is
the first thing that any one tries to do?  People open a couple of folders
and move them around to gage performance.  This goes very slow when
memory is short.  If you actually do work in an open window, you find that
performance is fine, but getting to that point can take a while.
Don't even think of using the drives icon with four megs.

OS/2 on a 16mhz 386sx with 10 meg of memory is better than os/2 on
a 33mhz 486 with 4 megs, provided everything else is equal.

Note:  I have only tested ISA bus computers.

I found another interesting thing with 4os2 and GA.  If you start a PM app from
4os2, i.e. [d:] e fred.txt, and then switch back to 4os2 (the shell doesn't
go away like cmd does) and exit, the PM application quits as well.  If I
detach the PM app, switch back to 4os2 and exit, then I get a different
title on the top of the shell window saying Completed: 4OS2 Window and it just
sits there until I double click on the system button.  This detach action
happens with cmd as well.

Note: I will mail this to JP.

I have another win3 application that requires Windoze enhanced mode to

It sounds like Lotus reps are passing out some inconsistent information.
The one I spoke to at the 4/7 OS/2 demo show at IBM in NY, told
me 123/G 32bit and Freelance 32bit would be out in six to eight weeks.
He also said Ami Pro 32bit would be out around June/July. Notes, which
already had a Rlease 3 planned for this summer will be delayed until
the end of the year, but Lotus is expected to release an interim
version, 2.2, sometime this summer, which will contain some of the
enhancements that users have been asking for, like Smart Icons and
more integration with 123/G and Freelance Desktop.

DeScribe is now shipping a full 32-bit version of DeScribe for OS/2
2.0, and they are offering a $139 price tag for those upgrading from
Word for PM.  You might ask if they offer a similar price for an
upgrade from a Windows word processor.  And you might ask about
educational discounts.

Word 1.1a for Windows will continue to work just fine under OS/2 2.0,
however.

I wouldn't recommend DisplayWrite 5/2 to the casual user.  It does
have a role, of course.

AmiPro 32-bit and WordPerfect 32-bit are due out later this year.

There's actually Excel 3.0 for OS/2 -- Microsoft may only charge $50
or so to upgrade from Excel for Windows.  I think it is actually half
decent.  I personally use Lotus 1-2-3/G 1.1.  They're going to 32-bit
by this summer; Excel likely won't be upgraded.  I like Lotus.

Of course Excel for Windows works just fine under OS/2 2.0.  The point
is you don't have to give it up.

Yes, that's what they told me on the phone.  They also told me that it won't 
be ready for AWHILE!  IS this true?  I need it now!!!!!  We've got an 
application that needs to work by October using advanced merge/macro
"programming".  

When will WordPerfect 6.0 for OS/2 2.0 be shipping????  I'd be happy to go
with Describe, but the guys downstairs are having a fit about it.  I've got
the 16-bit demo version of Describe and think it's GREAT!  The 32 bit version
ready now, and it's cheap.

The only thing that I wonder about is if it will be a mistake/or cause
unnecessary work down the road.  

The idea that I just came up with today (after getting some info on
WordPerfect for IBM Mainframes) is that our "migration path" would be
to WordPerfect for IBM (can't remember which opertating system) when the
system starts to blow up on an OS/2 machine...

I'm talking about creating 800,000 pages of merge output in one job...
I suppose OS/2 could probably handle it, but printing the 800,000 pages
would kill our HP LaserJet IIIsi!  

The "job" will be inserting fields from a merge file (created on a "Blue
Iron" machine), and graphics created with SAS/Graph (OS/2).  The volume
COULD become VERY VERY large!!  (As I said, up to 800,000 merge records per
run creating 800,000 documents).  At present we're only talking about volumes
in the mid thousands...  It would be nice to be able to print that on
an IBM 3800 printer, but we don't have one connected to our net (plus
that would probably BLOW UP the net).

Can anyone tell me about WP for mainframes?  The other option, I guess, would
be to put the output stream (PostScript) generated by WP (or Describe) onto
magnetic tape and shipping across the street to print...

The whole idea was to get AWAY from the BIG IRON, and the BIG COST...  Oh well.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, they both can. Ami Pro 2.0 doesn't handle the W4W 2.0 files (thank you,
MS, for making yet another proprietary file format), but that doesn't seem
to be an issue for you. Describe is supposed to have up to 3 megs of conversions
- you can install only what you want/need though (which is nice, I'll never
import from 1/2 the stuff they gave me in Ami Pro).

Lotus 1-2-3/G, Freelance, and Notes are all real OS/2 applications.
Lotus says everything will be ported as 32-bit OS/2 2.0 applications,
meaning they won't be quick and dirty ex-Windows applications.

Informix.  Wingz is one of those cross-platform spreadsheets.  It is

particularly strong in creating charts and graphs of high quality.

The fact that netstat -n shows no output means that TCP/IP does not think
it has any network interfaces attached. You need to revisit your installation.
If you still are having problems after that, please do not hesitate to
"navigate IBM's support structure".
BTW, 1.2.1 sports much improved installation - a PM based application which
updates config.sys, protocol.ini and such for you.
Also, ifndis.200 present in some interim versions is gone, new ifndis.sys will
work with 1.x and 2.0 OS/2s. There have been quite a few updates in 1.2.1
for OS/2 2.0 support.

I suggest you start with the FAQ, which is posted here regurarly. You can also
get it with anonymous ftp, but I don't remember from where. It contains LOTS
of information on OS/2. If you still have interrogations after reading it, I
am sure you will find people here willing to answer precise questions.

Also note that there is much more activity on comp.os.os2.misc than
