Actually, it's OS/2 I believe./ I have a 486/33 with 256K ram cache, 24
Meg RAM. That's one step away from the fastest machines around almost. I
have got my DOS scrolling speeds in windows down to an acceptable level but
my OS/2 scrolling is still 10 times slower [I mean _10_ times slower here.
4 seconds for DOS window, 41 for OS/2 to scroll 128 lines of text (0.78 in
a full screen)]

I am using 800x600x256 and all fonts are 8 wide (same font for OS/2 and
DOS windows). In DOS I turned off the EMULATION of VIDEO functions but OS/2
doesn't have such a setting.

Keywords: help

Organization: University of Pittsburgh

I do a lot of word processing with multilingual documents (primarily
Slavic languages with different versions of the Cyrillic alphabet). In
Windows (boo! hiss!) I use Adobe's Minion Cyrillic typeface and a
keyboard manager that is packaged with it. This keyboard manager allows
the user to toggle keyboard layouts on the fly, using either layouts
provided with the typeface or those customized by the user. The toggling
can be done either from a pulldown menu or with user-configurable hot
keys. As is probably obvious, changing fonts isn't enough when you change
character sets; I need this sort of quick keyboard swapping.

Question: is there anything comparable available for OS/2 keyboard
management? I have seen references to swapdcp, which is supposed to
provide custom keyboard layouts for OS/2, but I need to be able to
switch on the fly, and frequently at that (I often use words from
multiple languages in a single sentence). Is anyone out there trying to
do what I'm doing here? Is it possible? Is there a product available
that supports it?

I have spoken with Adobe and they are interested in porting their
utility to OS/2, but it's unclear when this is likely to happen. I can
use their utility within WIN-OS/2, of course, but I'd like something
that would work with native OS/2 applications.

Thanks,

David

you buy OS/2, is this still GA, or do they update their disks as

could try using the rm command something like rm -R desktop\trashcan\* 
as this would get rid of all subdirectories but not the EAs etc.

Ok rm is not a standard command but its been ported to OS/2 and is
really useful.

How have they improved the (black) printing tremendously?  I was using the
Epson EPL-6000 drivers, and I switched to the DeskJet drivers (DeskJet
Plus).  I didn't notice much difference.  They might be a bit faster, but
they still don't use any predefined fonts or font cartridges!  At least the
Windows drivers do....

Overall, (to me) they seemed pretty "generic".

By the way, the "generic" 800x600-16 color driver (filename

work with Paradise/Western Digital adapters (the nonaccelerated ones).

But Paradise still has no excuse.

Let me first start by describing my system:
	33 MHz. 80386
	16 MB memory
	212 MB IDE boot disk (about 50 MB left)
	121 MB SCSI with Adaptec 1520 controller 

	I have upgraded using the Golden SP.

I have had problems running out of memory when running (about) 5
processes.  I looked at the size of the SWAPPER.DAT file.  The size
never changed from 2097152 (bytes).  Okay, I have seen advise here
saying that if the SWAPPER.DAT grows, but will not shrink, boot off
floppy and delete it.  My problem is not quite the same (it doesn't
grow or shrink), but I figured that I would try it.

I booted from floppy and deleted the C:\OS2\SWAPPER.DAT file.  I
rebooted.  I checked the size of the newly created SWAPPER.DAT file
and found it to be 2097152.  I ran a few programs and got a memory
warning.  The size of SWAPPER.DAT had not changed!

What do I need to do to get this to work right?????

Thanks,

It's from IBM and it's not shareware.  I don't know how much it costs.

I've used it.  It comes from a group that (internally to IBM at least) has
a very good reputation.  I understand its backend is based on the same
design used in the RS/6000 compilers, so its optimization should be very
good indeed.

I work for IBM so my views are of course suspect.  Besides, I don't have
any experience with competing products (don't even know if there are any
or what they are)...

It took a long time, reading many, many messages before I understood
what was being discussed in this thread.  When it finally dawned on
me that the discussion was about copying icons (program objects) from
the Drives folder to the Desktop, everything fell into place.  I never
use this method, so I have never had a problem unintentionally deleting
the file.  I have always used Create Another, or the Program template
from the Templates folder to add a new object to the Desktop.  I am too
much in love with my DOS file manager to use Drives (although Drives is
better when I need to prune my directory tree).  I have noticed that the
WinOS231 file manager is very fast, perhaps the first GUI based file
manager that could tempt me to actually use it.  My DOS file manager is
PFM from Paul Culley (rev 3.14).

And Radius will be coming out with an AT bus version, at a similar
price, in the very near future.  (Outside the U.S. IBM sells the AT
bus XGA-2 card.)

I would also check with NEC, DEC, and Matrox to see what they have to
offer.  I've heard rumblings from all three about HiColor and/or
TrueColor OS/2 compatible adapters.  And, if Microchannel is OK, check
with IBM on their Image Adapter/A.

Howdy,

I recently installed GA on a co-worker's machine and then the CSD/SP.
I then did 'Selective Install' to install the drivers for 8514/A.
The Install program never asked what resolution I wanted.  I think it's
running in 1024x768x256.  After installation, I tried to run a Win app
seamless, and the windowed buttons are grayed out - therefore only allowing
fullscreen Win apps.  I know the Tseng drivers will do seamless, why won't
the 8514/A?

Reply-To: pdc@sgi.com (Paul Close)
NNTP-Posting-Host: lunch.wpd.sgi.com
Summary: icon handling in WPD sucks!
Originator: pdc@lunch.wpd.sgi.com

I have submitted the following text as a problem report.  We'll see if
anything comes of it.  I was updating all my icons last night to reflect 256
colors, and this was a much larger pain in the extremities than it needed to
be.  If any IBMers out there can give this extra attention, I'd appreciate
it!  Once I get a PMR number assigned, I'll post it.

I'd also welcome any comments on my suggestions.

============================================

Short form:
The whole issue of associating an icon with an object is cumbersome, and not
in the object-oriented spirit of the Workplace Shell.

Long form:
If I double-click on an icon, I get the icon editor.  So far, so good.
However, when I exit the icon editor, the icon has not been updated!  Nor
has the image of any program objects, etc. thaqt were using that icon!

To fix the former, I have to open the settings for the icon before WPS will
update the picture.  Even worse, to fix the latter, I have a *very* difficult
time getting that object updated to reflect the new icon's appearance.  The
way I've come up with is to open the object's settings, and delete a
character from the executable name.  Then I switch to General, then back
to the first tab, where I put back the character in the executable name.
This only works if the icon is named identically.  Otherwise, I have to go
through Find again!  Let me emphasize that this is most cumbersome!
Definitely not up to the smoothness of the rest of the WPS.

Finally, once an icon file has been associated with a program (or other)
object, if you select Edit from the General menu, it should really edit the
icon file, not some temporary file that gets integrated with the object's
EA.  The larger consequences of this are that objects really can be
associated with icon files, and track changed to that icon file, instead of
merely doing a one-time copy of that icon file's data.

To summarize, here's what I would expect:

1. To associate an object and an icon:
	A. Create an icon.
	B. ALT-drag (or ???) the icon to the program object.  (Just like
	   updating using a color scheme)
	   -or-

2. To update the objects after their icon has changed:

3. To edit the icon associated with an object:
	A. Select Settings -> General -> Edit.  This works, but it only

Subject: Question about DESKMAN/Trident Virtual Desktop
Followup-To: comp.os.os2.misc
Originator: news@nimaster

Date: Fri, 6 Nov 1992 04:27:46 GMT

I just got the 1024x1024 virtual desktop (800x600x256) set up using
the new TRIDENT drivers from ftp-os2.  My problem is that I can't get
the DESKMAN program to work.  I've placed DESKMAN.EXE (actually a
program object pointing to it) in the startup folder, but whenever I
press the hotkey combination of Ctrl+Alt, the screen goes out of sync.
I've tried adjusting parameters using TVGACRTC.EXE to no avail.

Can someone out there help? I'm running GA + the Service Pack (with
the messed up settings tabs).
