Subject: Will my OS800.DLL for OS/2 1.1 work with os/2 2.0?
Organization: Mississippi State University
Date: Tue, 5 Jan 1993 18:38:27 GMT

I am running os/2 on my pc with a clone Paradise vga card connected to
an old NEC multisync.  Along with the card came a diskette with a driver
for 800x600 for os/2 version 1.1. The instructions say to copy the
driver called os2800.dll to the os2/dll directory and overwrite the file
called driver.dll.  The problem is that when i boot os/2 and open a dos
window, the file driver.dll is locked (in use by another task...or
something)  when i boot directly to dos (using boot mgr), the os/2 files
on drive D (hpfs) are, of course, not reachable.   Any comments would be
appreciated.
thanks

uh, don't know these guys, but shouldn't you be using "CHKDSK F: /F:3" for

NNTP-Posting-Host: vax1.umkc.edu


OK, evryone, it's time for me to ask this question:

How can I make my newly acquired (someone just gave it to me) a
Fujitsu DX2200 dot-matrix printer to work for OS/2?

The symptom seems to be the same: OS/2 spooler simply cannot write to
the printer.  However, the same thing worked for DOS normally.

It might be a cable problem, or it it may due to incorrect printer
type installed.  I'm not sure.

When I installed OS/2, I setup the default printer as HP LJ 2, although
I don't have one.  I did not add another printer icon on the desktop,
but just added printer driver for Epson Dot-matrix printer ( I cannot
find a Fujitsu entry in the choice list of printer drivers) within the
settings of the HP LJ 2 icon.

If I print a pure text file, the generic driver says that the printer
doesn't respond.  If I change to the Epson driver, it says "Error 4: Can't
write to the printer".

Oh, the IBMNULL driver is working now.  Since the guy who gave me the
printer could no longer find the manual for the printer, what I want to
ask becomes: what is the compatible driver for the printer?

This makes me wonder:  Does the OS/2 2.1 BETA have an expiration date
after which it stops running or something?

Also, I've heard of two $15 offers and I'm wondering if they're the
same thing:  the OS/2 2.1 BETA, and something called a DAP (developers'
assistance package).  What's the story?

Yo Tim...

I'd like you know how much I to appreciate your time and efforts in
contibuting to this group.  I have come to read your posts without
fail and have learned a great deal.  I work as a computer tech, and
my cohorts have dubbed me the OS/2 guru.  I have tried to make it clear
that  a. I am NOT a guru on anything, and b. that I owe my meager
knowledge to the usenet in general and people like you who selflessly
give of themselves to enlighten others.  If only our school systems
were filled with people like you, the US would have a brighter future.
Unfortunately, to many people have their imagination taught right out of
them because of teachers who can't/won't/are afraid of/have been (told/
taught) not to teach as life presents itself and school systems
that are afraid of something as simple as "relaxation techniques".
(True Story...)  Local school system discontinued such relaxation
techniques (deep and rhythmic breathing, stretching exercises, etc.)
after a few parents claimed it smacked of "New Age" and that was
to close to witchcraft and satanism (I am not making this up).

Ah well....sorry for the rant...The point is that anyone who takes
the time to inspire and motivate the inate curiosity in H. sap and
to enlighten them patiently deserves a round of applause and 
sincere respect.  Thanks Timothy.

I had some problems after installing the 1024x768 drivers for use with

The fix, in my case, was to go back to the original BVHVSVGA.DLL (from

desktop, and to the full-screen Windows 3.0 driver from ATI, while
continuing to use the new IBMDEV32.DLL and IBMVGA32.DLL and the Trident
seamless Windows driver from tri32new.zip.

After that, everything worked just fine (in 1024x768x256).  I haven't
tried it at 800x600, but it's worth a try.

If you must use Microsoft C/C++ 7.0 (not recommended, frankly; it
isn't the best on the market), there are two ways you can get it
running under OS/2 2.0.  Both patches are available via anonymous ftp
from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.

One way allows it to run under OS/2 2.0 as a DOS application.  The
other allows the environment to run under OS/2 as an OS/2 application.
Check the file /pub/os2/00Index at that site for location.  The larger
file of the two turns MS-C 7.0 into an OS/2 application.

In both cases it will not generate OS/2 programs, it should be noted,
which can really cause difficulties.  (Can anyone explain how
Microsoft wants one to do development under SQL Server or LAN Manager
-- its own products?)

This is almost totally off subject, but, much like any other business,
in computing it pays to get a second opinion.  With doctors and
lawyers one normally asks for a second opinion, at least on serious
matters.  The same should hold true for computer "professionals."

There's a lot of bad advice out there.  Case in point: today I was
told by the local store that an add-on 4 MB memory card for an IBM
ThinkPad 700C required a $60 charge for installation, and if I chose
to install that memory myself I would "void the warranty."  Now, I
don't own a ThinkPad 700C, but I do know this is not reality.

IBM, I believe, will tell you it's a customer installable upgrade --
about as simple as plugging a printer cable into the computer.

Sure.  It's not that hard to do with the xgasetup.pro file.

NEC5FG->XGA-2:  Hey, I'm an 8514.
XGA-2->NEC5FG:  You're lying.  My owner changed his xgasetup.pro file and
                told me you can handle 1360x1024.
NEC5FG->XGA-2:  Ok, so you caught me.  I'll do what you want.

(The XGA-2 senses the monitor pins to determine the monitor ID.  The 
drivers then read the DMQS file that corresponds to that monitor ID and
use that information to set resolution dependent information.  Since
many monitors just copied the 8514 ID, an escape was designed into the
drivers.  That escape was the xgasetup.pro file, where it says that the
monitor attached has different properties than its ID suggests, and that
the true resolution properties are to be read out of another file.  The 
xgasetup.pro file has other functions, but this is the one you might like.)

Organization: Brandeis University

HI,
	On a 486-33 system, 16Mb memory, 210Mb hard drive;
standalone system running os/2  (no network connected).
Also assuming that any printer filter programs like ghostscript
would be available (freeware or shareware)..

	I wonder if I shall buy [1] a real HP, HP-compatible
printer (ie HPIIp+, HPIIIP, or Epson/Panasonic/Okidata types)
OR [2] a postscript-capable printer that is also capable of HP-emulation.

First concern is price difference.
Second is that HP-emulation/capability is important for
	chinese character printing (outside os/2).

Your opinion/experiences on whether a Postscript printer is
REALLY better than a HP-compatible type in os/2 will be highly appreciated.
(One note: I would love to print 2 or 4 ! pages on ohe
physical page on the HP-compatible printer, if possible).

And what about memory on board??

Will summarize if enough replies.

Hi folks!

I may have just missed it in my perusal of the information available,
but here goes.  Is there a way to change the global defaults for OS/2
WPS windows.  For instance, I very much prefer "flowed" and "always
sorted" options in nearly all windows which present groups of objects
(icons, file, et cetera).  However, I'm growing very annoyed about the
lack of any means to establish these parameters on a global basis.
Instead, I find myself having to open the settings for each window and
sub-window and check these items individually.  Even then, these don't
always appear to be "sticky".  That is, if the window is closed and
re-opened, I have to set them all over again!

By the bye - I have a suitable punishment for the brain-dead programmer
that decided that the default display would be in random order.  He/she
should be forced to locate information/files/icons/objects in large
collections for the rest of his/her days.  The valued of ordered lists
will soon become apparent!

Is this a joke or a serious request?  So hard to tell nowadays.

Anyway, I just got my 2.1 beta in the mail today, too.  So far, all I have 
done is to read the letter, the 1-page Read Before You Install, and the 12-
page Installing OS/2 2.1 Beta Products.

There is the chart on P.2 about CD-ROMs and SCSI Adapters to go by, plus the 
p.8 section on Non-Supported SCSI Adapters.

So, please refine/explain your question, such as "I read all that and it 
didn't help me with X, Y, and Z", or "Some joker typed it on my account 
while I was logged in."

The above are in addition to CGA, EGA, XGA, VGA, and 8514/A.  CGA,
EGA, and 8514/A do not (yet) support "seamless" Win-OS/2.  It is
doubtful that CGA and EGA ever will (since it wouldn't make much

PVGA1A, WD90C00, WD90C11, WD90C30, and WD90C31

according to the Master Help Index in OS/2 2.1 beta.

By the way, Orchid now has S3 drivers for 800x600-256 and
1024x768-256.  (The 800x600 drivers will be available from
ftp-os2.nmsu.edu shortly.)  Nonseamless at the moment, granted.

In this industry, with the SuperVGA-adapter-of-the-week, this isn't
bad.  IBM is supporting the older adapters directly because their
manufacturers are not attentive to their older customers.  The newer
adapter are currently on the market, and the vendors should start
writing the drivers.  If a vendor does not, that vendor will be at a
competitive disadvantage.  (Market forces can work wonders.  Witness
the SCSI adapter support and the emerging sound card support, for
example.  Creative Labs has drivers and now suddenly everybody else
wants to get them out ASAP.)

Moral of the story: keep leaning on your adapter vendor.  It also
wouldn't hurt to support XGA-2, the last opportunity to create a fully
extensible hardware standard for video on the PC that isn't brain
dead (e.g. busmastering, extensibility, multiple monitor support).

End of editorial.  :-)
