Yes.  The mode-changing (and maybe a few other features) reside in
IOPL modules.  I don't know the module names, but if you don't want
IOPL=YES, you can set it to a list of module names.

AmiPro doesn't know what kind of printer you are printing on.  It defaults to
75 DPI because that is what most dot-matrix printers print at, and there are
a lot of dot matrix printers being used.

I have the same problem.  The AFM and PFM files are different, and you
will have to find public domain fonts for OS/2 separately.

BTW, Win-OS2 already has ATM installed.  You have to go into the Win-OS2
full screen mode, start up ATM,  and load in the ATM fonts.  The 
Win-OS2 ATM is separate from the OS2 ATM, and they use different font
directories.  You should be able to install your Windows ATM fonts under
Win-OS2 and be able to use them within AmiPro.  I do, and it works well.

I do not run  AmiPro in seamless mode because there are a couple of small
bugs in the seamless code that prevents the buttons at the bottom of the
AmiPro screen from working properly, but they do work in full screen
Win-OS2 mode.

Subject: Peculiar PMCOMM Bugs (32-bit version)
Organization: DAFCO: OS/2 Software Support & Consulting
Date: Sun, 22 Nov 1992 15:00:32 GMT

I recently tried using the ALT-ESC key to switch back and forth
between PMCOMM and an os/2 full-screen session. What happens when I
switch back to pmcomm is that pmcomm screen appears but pmcomm is not
the active window. When I hit a CR, the screen goes BACK to the os/2
session that I just ALT-ESC'd out of. This is very repeatable. Wierd.
Does anyone know why this is happening?

Also, the screen scroll function only works toward the right. When I
try to scroll toward the left (beginning of line), nothing happens.

Another problem (minor) is that the remote system prompt line is
trashed after every Zmodem download.

More irritating is that the download function applies the Procrustes
function to non-FAT (i.e. not 8.3) format filenames.
E.G. "cpp_critique.zip" becomes "cpp_crit.zip"
and "aaaaaaaa.bbb.c" is rejected altogether.

Additionally, I have great trouble synchronizing with my dataswitching
network which requires a special sequence "@D<cr>" before it will send
anything at all back to me. I have occasionally been able to get
around this problem by typing an extra character in front of the "@"
character.

Otherwise the program seems to be working pretty well.

I have IBM's TCP/IP package sharing my NE1000 card with Netware. In fact, I can have
simultaneous sessions talking Netware and TCP/IP in different windows.

It is *very* tricky to set up... the order of things in your CONFIG.SYS file is
critical, and the LAPS, TCP/IP, and Netware Requester install programs put them
in the *wrong* order.

If you want a copy of my CONFIG.SYS, email me at frank@cit.ac.nz

    Do two breaks <^c,^c> to terminate the server on the VAX.
 
    I use SoftTerm with Kermit all the time.  I had to mess with the
parameters.  They are at work, but I'm home now.  
 
     I was never able to get it to go fast, just correct.  I just 
run it in the background and wait now.
 
     I think the handshaking should be xon/xoff on receive; none on
transmit.  Also, I think I had to put some transmit delay between chars
on upload to kill dropouts.

Give OZCIS a try (it's a freebie!).  It's a DOS application, but I've had no problems with it
under 2.0.  It is located in the IBMCOMM forum, library 12 (I recall).

I don't believe CIS supports compressing of conferences like the BBS systems do, but
most of the CIS front-end programs (OZCIS, TAPCIS,...) do provide multiple passes.  The
first pass just downloads the message headers, then you mark the ones you want
offline, then the program retrieves the marked messages for you to read and reply
offline.

Subject lines in most newsreaders are displayed using the underlined
attribute, with MORE prompts and message numbers using the inverse
attribute.  Procomm Plus, these attributes are assigned colors using
the setup.  Look for a way to set assign colors to attributes with
PMCOMM.

My Windows term program (QVT) simply underlines and inverts such text,
so there is no such setting.  If PMCOMM is a PM app (which I'd assume
it to be) then it may very well do the same.  If it's ignoring the
attributes, then it's not a very good vt-100 emulator.

Using GCP, you can download all the new messages you want to review, and while
you are looking at, and possibly responding to, them offline, you can kick off
a new online session, in a separate thread, to do a download/upload.  You can
only have a single active CIS session, but you can have multiple offline ones
doing various things.

No, that is not correct.  C-Kermit, for example, can call an external program
such as M2Zmodem (avail at ftp-os2.nmsu.edu).  I do not know if it is possible
to spawn a dos-box from an OS/2 session and then try to use a DOS-Zmodem.

If you can produce OS/2 1.x text-mode code, you can write PM code.
Can you link to external .LIB files?  If so, all you need to do is
link to the 1.3 OS2.LIB (maybe OS2286.LIB in the 2.0 toolkit) and come
up with an appropriate series of parameters to call them.  Then run
MARKEXE to change the executable to PM type.  This should work (I'd
think) if the stack size and heap size is big enough.

Anyone willing to attempt this mess?

This may be true for versions of Excel for Windows but why does Excel
version 2.21 for OS/2 refuse to run any more on my machine?  If worked
fine before the Service Pak but now it just gives a SYS3175 error and
closes.  This is a REALLY strange problem I think.

I first tried to reinstall Excel but with no luck.  I then copied the
major files to floppy and tried them on a friends machine at it worked
fine.  On another machine it wouldn't work but then another one it
would.  Here is what I've tried in on so far:

My machine (386-SX) OS/2 GA + SP:  SYS3175 error
Friends machine (386-33) OS/2 GA + SP:  Runs fine
Friends machine (386-SX) OS/2 with Win 3.1 beta:  Runs fine
Friends machine (486-33) OS/2 with Win 3.1 beta:  SYS3175 error
Friends machine (386-25) OS/2 GA + SP:  Runs fine

So far it's runs on 3 out of 5.  Not the best odds.

My machine should be 100% IBM compatible since it is a true IBM.  (IBM
PS/2 Model 55-SX).  The other 386-SX is also an IBM machine as is the
386-25.  The other 2 are clones.

So anybody got any ideas on this what so ever.  It has stumped me an
every one else that I talked to.

P.S.  I've tried closing every apps except the desktop and 1 OS/2 window
to start Excel, but still no luck.  I've reinstalled about 4 times with
no luck (reinstalled Excel).

Thanks for any replies,

Tracy B.

   Does anyone know where I can find a printer device driver for the
IBM 3812 laser printer?  We want to attach it to our LAN in the office.
Thanks for any info.

The general net consensus (and my own personal opinion, since I use
the product) is that PMFax (a.k.a. FaxIt for OS/2) is the best
solution on the market right now.

It does work like a printer driver (although you can also use it in
standalone mode).
