Because the Windows version still has to run on top of a virtual DOS...and the
virtual DOS is the thing that pushes your PULSE graph to the top of the scale.
System resources are used much more efficiently by OS/2 apps. Performance
would be an issue in making the decission to buy WP5.2 for OS/2. 
 
Plus....if no one buys it.....they won't write any more software for OS/2.

2.0.

Yes, as of Version 1.36.  Contact either Colorado or Sytron for

Hmmm,

I just found a new problem--a document refused to print the last few lines 
of the first page of a two pager.

Weirdly enough, the same symptom showed up in Print Preview.  

Depending on which font I tried, sometimes the cutoff would be in the middle 
of a line.

I had translated the document from Word Perfect first.

Because a deadline was involved, I rebooted and ran Win 3.1 without this 
problem on the same document.

Hmmm.

Just got the EBOOKIE add-on for the Enhanced Editor,

the Enhanced Editor is something very powerful and 
potentially useful.

Problem:  Where can I get background information about 
          what EBOOKIE, APAFOIL are for?
          
The .INF file assumes you know what tag files, etc are, 
and mentions some manuals, e.g:
         BookMaster User's Guide (SC34-5009-02)
         Generalized Markup Language Starter Set Reference (SH20-9187-95)

Are these suitable introductions, and if so, how are 
these to be obtained? Is there any other source?

It certainly works with the version of WP 5.1 for Windows I tried it on.

This may be a FAQ but if so I haven't seen it.

I find that word for windows under the new 2.1b has no fonts visible in its
font pull down menu. The menu is visible, it is just empty. The fonts are
there ( I installed them ) because I can type in the name to use a

This happens full screen or seamless.

IBM is not going to go up in smoke.  And THE OS/2 GROUP HAS SHOWN A
PROFIT IN 1992!  Nobody's going to get rich off of upgrade sales,
anyway.  It's the new sales that make a difference, and they are going
to pay full price.  And all this money we're talking about is going to
be siphoned directly into Microsoft anyway.  So stop telling IBM to
charge me money that they don't want to charge in the first place.

Windows runs as a DPMI server, and can not be a client to anything else.  
So when OS2v2 sets up the DPMI in a DOS BOX, OS2v2 is the server, so 
Windows freaks.  That's the main change to Win-OS2 3.0 and 3.1, so they 
can be DPMI clients to OS2v2.  If you set up a virtual boot image, I thik 
you can get Windows to work, but I have never tried...

I got the buttons on the first install, but lost the buttons on a selective
install of the video. Another selective install of the Windows support brought
the buttons back, just as Steve reports. (I erroneously reported to Steve
that Maple would not install seamlessly, but it was due to the "lost" 
buttons.)

Other notes on the beta:
1. The "strings" utility breaks under the beta (prints the same stuff 
repeatedly). Anyone have source for a good "strings" utility? I will compile
with MSC and EMX and upload.

2. Kretzer reported earlier that MSC 6.00A breaks under the beta. He remarked
that it may be due to the DELDIR bug. MSC works for me in my limited testing
so far...

3. C-Kermit breaks under the beta. A shell-escape ("!") with no command
will lock the keyboard and create a zombie process. Shell-escapes 
before a connection work. "!ls" works. "!sh" locks the keyboard.

This did work in OS/2 2.0, right?

4. I get plenty of problems with Windows apps. Maple will lock when
asking for help. I have been able to lock cardfile by asking for help.

5. I'm not too pleased with the new fonts used in command windows (introduced
in the Service Pack?).

You could do like I do, and run POPmail in a DOS box, with a DOS packet

Apparently an IBM product called NTS/2 provides a virtual Token-Ring

multiple OS/2 and DOS TCP/IP apps...

Haven't tried it myself, followups to comp.os.os2.networking.

    2) Difficulties connecting at 2400 baud. TE/2 seems to connect,
       the message in the dialog telling you that you have made a

Well, speaking of zombies, I noticed that on PStat PM as well, when the  
other night, I was trying to run Telemate 3.0, and it hung because OS/2
thought something still had the comm port (I had been using PM Comm, but
it was _closed_).  While I could do other stuff, killem didn't work to 
bring it down, and PSPM2 couldn't touch it either...  I was mad, and  
decided to just shut down, as similar things have happened, but shutting
down seemed to work, but this time, my system would not shut down so I had
to reboot...

Anyone know of any more powerful process killer than killem, kill, or PSPM2?

This was a problem with the November beta......but I have not seen it in 2.1.
 
I have W4W 2.0c....not loaded on the PC right now......but I might load it up
and have a look.

I've been trying to use the EMX GAWK port to Awk and am having
troubles.  The sub() and gsub() commands do not seem to work.  The EMX
port has the GNU test/ directory that I can only get some of the tests
to work properly.  

I've thought of recompiling, but the make file has a call to a command
'implib' that creates a .lib file from a .dll file and I can't find
the 'implib' program.

Has anyone had this trouble?  Any ideas?

	Few months back, I read a post here saying MS will develop for OS/2
again if 2,000,000 copies are sold..

	Now that the magic number has been reached, is it a go?  or another
lie?  Or was the whole thing hearsay to begin with???

	Inquiring minds wan....etc.

sig?
