  I have also converted over to OS/2 2.0 (with service pack installed) for
running my BBS.

  With the usual OS/2 comm drivers, this is definitely the case.  I have
other drivers here that solve the throughput problems wonderfully though,
and in fact my transfers are just as good as under native MS-DOS 5.0.

  I can't release the drivers I have, however at least one version (0.15)
was released into the Fernwood OS/2 Drivers file area recently.  Install
these in place of COM.SYS and VCOM.SYS per the instructions and you will
have *much* better results with throughouts.

  I have my threshhold set at 70% and 15 seconds here for comm apps and it
allows me to run two communications sessions side by side very nicely.  You
may have to tweak to find what works best for you though.  You won't get
good multi-tasking under OS/2 2.0 if you disable idle detection for comm
apps...

  Yes indeed.  I'm running under OS/2 2.0 in a DOS session using the SIO
comm driver.  Throughputs are wonderful and I have node 2 ready to go
online as soon as the phone line is installed and activated.  The new node
will run only native OS/2 software though, which currently means Waffle
will only be available on the DOS session node.

  That's mainly the fault of OS/2's distributed comm drivers.  Get the SIO
drivers and dump COM.SYS and VCOM.SYS totally.

I had this one. In my USENET file I had the statement:

DEFAULT /dir=w:\news

This statement had worked fine in plain vanilla Waffle 1.65. Using HellDiver
I could not see any news. So, when all else fails, RTFM (Waffle's, that is).
Although Tom Dell does not seem to explicitly state that the operand of the 
/dir statement *must* be enclosed in double-quotes, the example provided 
shows the operand in double quotes. After changing the statement to:

DEFAULT /dir="w:\news"

Note the enclosing double-quotes; HellDiver found the newsgroups OK.
Maybe you have the same problem I encountered.

Tom, are you watching? Your documentation is excellent. You do have 
an audience that you may not have anticipated: Waffle Add-On software 
developers. For those of us who are making Waffle Add-Ons, could you 
provide BNF specification for all your command languages: STATIC, 
DIRS, NEWSGROUP files, etc...? This would remove all ambiguity when 
we have to design interpreters for your commands.

We all understand BNF. Right? :-)

     Now here's an issue.  Are all the parts to Waffle behaving the
same with respect to ^Z?

     The post I had the problem with was from a mailing list,
gated to a local newsgroup.  The user probably wrote the message
on an MSDOS machine with an editor which stuck on a ^Z.  Since his
message was only one within a digest, I missed half the digest.

     If it *were* a news posting, I believe RNEWS would have stopped
processing, and the rest of the batch would have been lost.  Is that
an issue?  RNEWS should not be losing news just because of an
accidental ^Z.

I don't know if they've announced a product, but IBM has been

You'll be able to delete this file from DOS, but only with a utility like
Norton. DOS won't allow you to delete a file called LPT1 (nor PRN), so what I
did was to load Norton's Disk Editor (having booted DOS), and change the 1st
character of the file name to the deleted file character (can't remember its
ASCII number). That fixed it.

I was thrilled to find that the new CDROM drivers (in os2cdrom.zip)
support Sony drives.  I was unthrilled when I found that they support
only the SCSI drives (the Sony CDU 7211), and that my drive (a CDU 7205)
used a proprietary (non-SCSI) interface.  BTW, Sony sez that they should
have drivers for OS/2 for my drive in about March or April of this year.

But, I understand that there are "generic" drivers available for CD ROMs.
Two questions:
	1) Where are they? (I searched Hobbes for "generic" - didn't find)
	2) Are they enuf to do the OS/2 install from CD?
	   (specifically, we are talking about installing the 2.1 beta
	   from the Nov PDK CD...)
