>Are you using CALL= or RUN=?

The exact combination that caused the problem for a person on Compuserver was:

RUN=C:\OS2\MODE.COM ....
CALL=D:\TOOLS\SHIFTRUN.EXE 5 CMD.EXE

That person has since resolved their problem by removing the line:

RUN=C:\OS2\MODE.COM ...

Although, this may not be a desirable solution. It might be possible to
change RUN= to CALL= in the above list and still have things work
properly.  I also believe reversing the order of the two statements such
that MODE.COM gets called AFTER shiftrun is executed will also solve the
problem.

I have had a request to allow an option to change the hotkey from left
shift to a user selected key.  I'll see what I can do as time permits.

Keep in mind that IBM's official statement of support is basically
"use at your own risk... there is no support for EWS utilities."

It only took me 4 hours and finally trying everything possible until i found 
the answer to this. I actually found it in the docs, but it was not explained 
very well. At the point where is says call complete, enter C (or connect) and 
there you are, online.

I called them the other day and spoke to the Tech support. They hope to be
shipping by the end of the month. If you have any questions, call them. They
are very helpful but *very* busy! The fellow I spoke to (Mark) said the phones
had been ringing off the hook since that notice went out. He also suggested
giving their BBS a call as they hoped to post info there as and when it became
available.

I know I'll really get flamed for this one, but...

Could someone give me a list of OS/2 apps/utilities/games, just anything 
OS/2 2.0 specific, or even (I guess) 1.3.....

A filename, location, directory, description, etc.

I'm totally new to the ftp'ing thing, and haven't actually done it yet, 
so consider me a newbie.

I know there is an immense list of applications(all types) out there, and 
I don't expect a 1000-line email from anyone, but if 10 people would send 
me there fav's, I'd be content (for a while).
I do, however know how to uudecode.
but wait, that would be a waste of time.
ah yes, just a list please :-)

Someone else on Compuserve had a problem involving RUN=C:\OS2\MODE.COM in
the CONFIG.SYS.  Once it was removed, the problem went away.

I put the CALL line immediately after IFS=C:\OS2\HPFS.IFS...

The problem tends to be that MODE.COM appears to capture the keyboard and
since it is running asynchronously to the CONFIG.SYS, when SHIFTRUN tries
to capture the keyboard, it can't do it.  (Although you should see an error
message when this happens.)

Just curious, why do people put a RUN=C:\OS2\MODE.COM statement in CONFIG.SYS?

Some say it is faster, some say slower. You now have a 32 bit GRE, however.

You need the loaddfix file (something like that) which will take those image
files and load them onto a diskette. The loaddsk.zip file should be where you 
got the SP from. Unzip it and type it with no parameters for instructions.

Check out Sytos+ for OS/2 (v1.35 is the one I have).  It supports my Exabyte
8MM and a variety of SCSI tapes.  My host adapter is the Adaptec 1542B,
so I know they support that one...It's pretty fast, too.

	I am having a couple of problems with UUPC/extended v1.11 for OS/2.
While I have it configured and am able to send mail to remote systems, it
apprears that I have something set up wrong.  First the mail command will
only send mail if I am in the directory that contains the mail.exe program.
I have it in my path and it finds it but it dies with the message:

	rmail: Invalid argument
	Unable to execute rmail; mail not delivered

Secondly uuxqt fails no matter what directory I am in.  I have mail spooled
up from other systems but when I issue uuxqt to deliver the mail into the
mailboxes I get the following error:

	shell: RMAIL command may have failed: <myid>
        Program aborting at line 858 in file .\uucp\uuqt.c

Anybody have any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

I doubt it's bad disks, considering that you got someone elses disk 12 
and it still didn't work, but I have seen bad OS2v2 disk.  Maby on of the 
earlier disks was bad and when it gets to disk 12 (the last disks, not 
counting the viddriver disks) it freaks.  So...You could try a full 
update with a full set of someone elsees disks.  Are you booting from the 
disks or running them from in OS2v2?  Another thing you could do, grab 
that program on disk 1, Unpack I think, and manually uncompress the files 
on disk 12, and find-replace the old ones on the drive.  Good luck.

Consensus on this problem is that you are running the GA with some of the
patches.  This happened to me when I first installed the SP.  On
reinstallation, this problem disappeared.

Now, I recently reformatted my HD, installed the GA, and then immediately
installed the SP.  No problems.

I think you should back up your HD and reformat.  I know it's a pain, but
if you have anything anomalous that the SP installation does not write
over, the reformat should eliminate it.  So, after reformatting, reinstall
the GA, and then immediately install the SP.  Also, write protect disk 12
of the SP as a precaution.

I don't quite understand this. If you connect before you dial, then I assume
that you do your dialing by using '+++' to send the modem to command mode, 
then issue the ATD.  This may not be the best way to connect.

This is exactly what happens when I do a logon.  Now that you have the
"Call complete", you should do the "connect" command c (I do this with
a script).  Your experience is ckermit working as advertised (at least as 
far as I understand ckermit). 

To be precise, I do the login thru my script, then the last line in my
script is "connect".

When you say "hangs back to the C-kermit prompt," this is the point that
you should do a "connect".  Do you mean to say that the modem hangs up?

I have always done it the same way from 5A(179) thru 5A(188).

I had the same problem.  The solution is to give the command

or something similar.  (I forgot the precise incantation).  Use
"show modem" to find out.

You would expect this to replace ab's by ba's, wouldn't you ?
Well, it works in the DOS version, but not the OS/2 version.
Could somebody please confirm?
I tried sending a mail to customer-support@borland.com, but they

I've got a slightly different problem. Kermit (V188) works fine up until
I issue a 'C' (connect) command: it switches to terminal mode, but then
accepts only a couple of 'ENTER''s before switching back to command-line
mode and issuing a, "Cannot transmit to serial port." message.  Does
anyone have any idea what the problem is?  (NB: I'm using exactly the
same hardware for Kermit that's permitting me to type this; Kermit
*does* dial, and establishes a connection.  It just doesn't seems to let
me proceed further.  Further 'c' commands cause the same thing to
re-occur.  Help.)
