I have 13+ machines that use OS2. I have been looking for an OS2 screen
screen saver.  I asked the group that originally designed the machines
Their reply was "if you hear of you let us know."

Anyway they have volunteered to install it for me if I can find one.  Any
ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Please email me direct.

Thanks ahead of time,

It is not possible to use HPFS on a floppy. That means: There is a tricky way

using an archiver you can still have those.

You didn't do anything to make it FAT: That is it! You should have told them
that you want HPFS... now the only thing you can do is reinstall OS/2 on your
HD by reformatting that partition. If you did nothing unusual with your OS/2
just backup all directories except /OS2 to Disk (use a compress program, like
LH for OS/2), reinstall OS/2 choosing to reformat the disk to HPFS. And there
it is. Faster, longer (filenames), easier!

But you must know that if you are running also DOS on another partition (what
is pretty senseless, since OS/2 has the built-in DOS box that is not slower;
just a few games do not work in OS/2) it cannot read the HPFS partition. On the
other side OS/2 can always read both FAT and HPFS. Everything OK?

I have a few words to say about Central Point Software's WinBackup--I wish
they'd make a product that would work reasonably!  If it wasn't such a 
nice program, I'd say I hate it; as it is, I can only lament it's weaknesses.

A few months ago, I purchased two 486SX's with Colorado 120's for a client,
and recommended WinBackup--I'd been using it just fine at work for a year 
or so, and liked the way it works...  Well, for some reason, it seemed like
they were doomed not to work--I tried everything in the WORLD!  I worked 
for days, and then finally with my vendor, and to no avail... Finally, after
trying for a couple days, we got in touch with Central Point.  After MANY
proposed solutions not working, we got a Faxback doc that said something 
about the fact that on some faster machines, there are problems with the 
bus speed (I'd tried all of them) and the fact that the software uses DMA.
Among other solutions, it was recommended that 16 color drivers be avoided
and 256 ones be used--I changed my Windows drivers to 256c, and BAM! it 
worked!  Any guesses as to why?  

Sorry to go on about this, but I borrowed a friend's tape drive last nite
(a Mountain) and tried to use WinBackup (I've done it before with a CMS
drive from work), and it wouldn't work--I switched to 256c and there was
no problem...  I just had to rag a bit, because I'm so happy that the 
solution was such a self-evident, logical, right-under-my-nose one...
NOT!

I've been using the 32 bit commpak.dll v1.91 with v1.20 TE/2 for
over two weeks now and am having zero problems with it. I have
daily comm sessions so it sees heavy use. In fact the new
dll fixed a annoying problem we were having with TE/2 to TE/2 connects.

With previous commpak.dll versions the zmodem engine would dork
up with this type of connection. Packet lengths would drop from
the standard 1k to 128byte lengths and thruput would suffer drastically.

This no longer occurs with the latest commpak.dll.

OS2/ga -XR6055 SP installed. No other patches applied and

Dear Netters,

finally I received my copy of FaxWorks (V1.21) for OS/2 - great product !

What I would like to setup now is a BBS-System with BinkleyTerm as a frontend
for both Maximus (the BBS) and FaxWorks. FaxWorks can be invoked from the
command line in a "receive one fax"-mode. What I currently dont understand
is a way how Binkley and FaxWorks can share the same comport. This is 
managed between Binkley and Max by passing a "com port handle" to each 
other during the "spawn-BBS"-process of BinkleyTerm.

Did anyone succeeded in setting up a similar configuration or are any clever
tricks that apply?

Any input is very welcome!

Thanks

Markus

It doesn't like "DOS version 20.0", which is what a DOS app sees when
running under OS/2 2.0.  I run it from a specific-DOS 5.0 session, and
it works fine.

Just a warning: You *MUST* have MMPM/2 (the MultiMedia Presentation
Manager extensions for OS/2) installed before you can use Creative
Labs' beta OS/2 CD-Rom driver. MMPM/2 is included in the $15 DAP CD
mentioned above. (You can buy MMPM/2 separately, but it's $90, and
*that's* with a discount.) I think the new OS/2 2.1 beta also includes
MMPM/2, and the docs for the CD-Rom driver state that OS/2 2.1 will
include MMPM/2 as well. (At least, 2.1 will include enough of MMPM/2
to run the CL CD-Rom driver.)

I'm running the CL CD-Rom under OS/2 (GA+SP) with MMPM/2, and it seems
to work fine. I was lucky, though; if I hadn't ordered the MMPM/2
Toolkit, I wouldn't be able to access the drive under OS/2. (And as it
was, I had a little trouble bootstrapping: The MMPM/2 Toolkit came on
a CD! I had to boot DOS, copy the Toolkit files to a Bernoulli
cartridge, reboot with OS/2, and install MMPM/2 from the Bernoulli.)

There's an Asteroids game I think I got from the IBM NSC BBS (the
number I just saw somewhere was 404-835-6600 - it's in Atlanta,
GA).  A faithful reproduction, as I remember playing many years
ago.  The best part is minimizing it (it continues to play, with
an icon sized screen).

I believe the NSC BBS has other games available.

The 2.1 beta has a bug which prevents it from installing the Win-OS/2
3.1 support quite properly.  It turns out that if you run Selective
Install and reinstall just the DOS+Win-OS/2 support, you'll get a
properly functioning Win-OS/2 3.1 subsystem.

This bug is known, I believe, and should be repaired in the released
version.

I guess my apps push OS/2 further than yours.  I ALWAYS have DINFO,
Clock, Alarms, and Daily Planner running.  This gives me an initial
swap file of about 3MB.

When developing software, I open a CMD.EXE session and run GNU Emacs
in it.  This bootst the swapfile up to about 5MB.  If I open up the PM
Reference .INF file, it grows to 6MB.  It will then spike
(temporarilly) to 8 or 9MB when I call gcc/2 to compile working code.
When I quit all the apps, it usually returns to about 5MB.

If I happen to start a WIN-OS2 session while all this stuff is
running, the swapfile sometimes approaches 12MB.

Date: 6 Jan 93 13:04:45 GMT
Organization: Auburn University, Alabama

Ian Stewartson has released ver 2.1 of ms_sh, a shell for OS/2 1.x--2.0
and MSDOS.  The OS/2 version has one new "bug": it modifies some filenames
needlessly under HPFS, causing shell scripts to break. I have contacted
the author with a bugfix; see below.  

I have uploaded a fix to ftp-os2.nmsu.edu, currently in 
pub/uploads/ms_sh21c.zip; possibly to be moved to pub/os2/all/unix/shells/.
The archive includes all files needed for the OS/2 version, but you may wish
to retrieve sources from simtel20.army.mil in pd1:<msdos.sysutl>ms_sh21?.zip.

The readme.os2 file follows.

--
Darrel Hankerson hank@ducvax.auburn.edu

============================= readme.os2 ====================================
The original distribution of sh 2.1 has the following problems:
 1. system.c has a missing ';'
 2. The install mentions a 'lib' directory which isn't present.
 3. The makefile assumes that CL has been set to include certain flags.
 4. The OS/2 version alters some filenames needlessly on HPFS, causing
    shell scripts to break.

The enclosed executable was created with MSC 6.00A using dmake 3.8 under
OS/2. The include files limits.h, sys/stat.h, and sys/types.h were copied
from the MSC include directory to ./include/ and the additions in 'changes'
were made. Be sure to set the INCLUDE environment variable for the compile:
  set INCLUDE=..\include;c:\msc\include

Original sources may be obtained from simtel20.army.mil in
pd1:<msdos.sysutl>. Apply the patches with 
  patch -p1 < patches.os2
then do 'make -f makefile.os2' from the src directory.

     Both Quattro Pro for Windows and Quattro Pro v3.0/4.0 work okay  
here under OS/2. I had some early problems with Quattro Pro 4.0, but  
managed to trace it to a faulty Tseng AX4000 card. Now all is okay,  
but QPW is a hell of a memory hog. 
 
     Hope this helps, 
 
     Chris

There's a new one out now called mrfilepm.zip.  It should be available
within a few days at ftp-os2.nmsu.edu (check directory
/pub/uploads/sharebbs first).  It is IBM employee written software.
