I love the skinny SP font.  But ever since I installed the vga800-1
SVGA driver, I have the fat GA font back.  Does anyone know how I can
get back the skinny SP font?

Call Radius at 1-800-5-radius and get your name on a mailing list for 
info on their XGA-2 card, supposedly out by year's end, pricing unknown

From: gouvea@zariski.harvard.edu (Fernando Gouvea)

Distribution: world
Organization: Colby College Dept. of Math/CS


There have been several posts indicating that OS/2 with the SP installed
"has problems with paths longer than 32 characters". Can someone tell me
what this means? Does it refer to the PATH environment variable? (Can't be,
can it? Any decent PATH would have more than that!) Does it refer to the
path to a specific file? I'm confused.

(Context: recently, after installing SP, something went seriously wrong
with my system. I took it as a Sign from Above that it was time to reformat
and install OS/2 in an HPFS partition, which I have done. I haven't yet
reinstalled the SP, and would like to know what to expect before I do...)

We have the OS/2 32-bit GRE.  Unfortunately development tools have not
been publicly released yet.  This _might_ create some additional delay in
releasing any board specific drivers :)  Support for the WD controller we
use is included in the 32-bit GRE release currently used and should work
to some level (I can't personally comment at this time with no experience
on it yet).  IBM had announced plans to support the controller 'in the
box.'

In-house driver development will continue as scheduled.

Are you sure that there was not a 'dir' file in the distribution? Try mine

info uses.  Put your files in \etc\info\ for the GNUinfo port from Kai Uwe

:)By the way, you might consider keeping your .inf files where they are and

:)I think, is that the "search all libraries" function will look at them.  Of
:)course, this can also be achieved, I think, by adding the place where they
:)stay to the "Bookshelf" in config.sys.

The way I organize *MY* .inf books is to have a program object for each
book in my Information folder. 
Program name: view.exe 
Parameters: Filename.inf

You can just ctrl-right drag to copy another and just change the name of
the book in the parameters. This way, you also lose out on any messy
problems with having books called cmdref.inf or gs87872a.inf (whatever the
silly nameing strategy is for the redbooks.) The program object can be
renamed without altering the actual .inf filename.

I think that this was the way I found my Command Reference and REXX
reference when I first loaded OS/2.

I think I've found a clue to the growing os2sys.ini phenomenon. Try 
creating a short file and save it as an OS/2 cmd file. Then erase it. 

This little operation made my ini file grow 50k. Now suppose you were 
experimenting with REXX, creating small REXX scripts, trying them, deleting 
them...

(And no, I don't use 4OS2 or exotic screensavers. And the file I tried

I probably wouldn't worry about it, that just means OS2 ran into some problem

You have to change the size manually.  The "Save" button changes the

No.  The only company that has announced it's intention to produce an XGA
compatable card is Radius (1-800-5RADIUS).

If I snapshot something under OS/2, and try to past it into Paintshop Pro 1.01, 
then PSP crashes. However WINGIF, and Word4Win have no problems.

Is there a new PSP available?

Also, how do I snapshot the contents of a DOS full screen? If I make it a
window, I can snapshot it with 'copy all', but making this particular
app a window freezes the application and the windows shows nought but
rubbish.

Did you ever have os/2 on your system prior to this? A common problem is
deleting os/2 with dos, and then going back and reinstalling os/2. This
causes problems becaue the dos delete calls are not "ea aware" and you
end up having a lot of garbage as a result. In any event, I would definitely
boot up from floppy and run chkdsk against your os/2 partition. You must
run chkdsk from a partition other than the one that contains os/2 (or from
floppy)

Hope this helps.
