How about inncluding the xxencoded file in a comment at the top of the
file then having the file process itself with linein. Might even be
faster than using queue.

Might also get speedup if can disable the process where the file gets
'compiled' into its EA's

The solution to this problem was posted awhile back.  I am reposting it.

1.  Help doesn't function.  When you select any of the help menu items
    you get the error message "This version of Help file not support."
    This is due to the fact that OS/2 is using an older version of
    WINHELP than Ami Pro currently supports.  The solution is to get
    the DECOMP program from Lotus' bulletin board (I'm getting it soon
    and I'll upload it to ftp-os2.nmsu.edu when I get it).  Now use
    the DECOMP program to uncompress the file WINHELP.CMZ which comes
    on your Ami Pro 3.0 disks.  Simply replace all of the WINHELP
    files in WIN/OS2 with these newer ones.  They are backwards
    compatible, so will work with your older applications' help files
    too.

I am using an ATI high-res Windows driver for WPW with no problems.
(I have an ATI VGA Wonder card)
When you replace the Windows driver you can no longer run Windows
programs seamless on the OS/2 desktop, but they run fine full screen.

I forget the name of the driver to replace, but its in the OS/2 FAQ.
Just copy the driver over the old one from an OS/2 or DOS window
(backup the old one first of course). As long as no windows programs
are running when you do the copy there is no problem.

Is it just me, or do other people shudder at the thought of
self-extracting binary archives?  They seem dangerous to me
because they involve running a raw program straight off the net
without any visibility as to what it's doing.

It seems safer to give everybody a copy of, say, uudecode.  Perhaps
IBM could include it in their next release as a security enhancement
for those folks who would otherwise blindly run things off the net.

You should be able to use the Sourceline() function to extract lines of

I downloaded those bitmaps (I think I know he ones you are referring to)

This isn't quite on topic, but Maynard is now advertising in PC

platforms they support (including OS/2) for the price of just one

Worth investigating if you want tape backup software that works under

IBMs 8514 does have a coprocessor itself. The ATI version seems to have
some additional graphics operations which are not known to IBMs
software.

These drivers seem to be little more than updated 1.3 drivers. And the
one for 1024x768 is *slower* than IBM's. So unless you want to run
800x600, you should stay with IBM's driver.

I couldn't get the Stacker device driver to load in a DOS window.  It
will, however, work in a VDM (I think -- I only looked at this
briefly).
