I know it's a bad thing, but when a couple of thousand articles build up in this group,
I just dump it without looking.  So, I am wondering, what upgrades and service packs
are available where?  Is "seamless" windows available yet?  I am using an ATI Graphics
Ultra on a 386/25 w/8 MB RAM.

I tried that, but it said 'permission denied' as it did to others, although
in /pub/uploads theres a file called 21readme.txt, which describes the
2.1 beta!!! It would be nice to try this out, since it's impossible to
get here in Europe...

Sure.  Get both the Image Browser and its pre-req - the Image Toolkit -
from either the developer's CD or (I think) by anon-ftp at
software.watson.ibm.com (I haven't checked, but it belongs to a group of
programs collectively labelled as SLPT).  Install the toolkit using the
ITKINSTA.EXE program (enter "ITKFMT16" for the format library).  Run
IBROW and import your GIF image into the window.

Not only didn't any of the windows 3.1 OR 3.0 programs work after I installed  
the beta, at least one of my OS/2 programs had the same problem...  
Double-Click, wait a couple seconds while windows loads, then get your OS/2  
cursor back like nothing happened.  No Program... Not even the windows programs  
which came with OS/2 2.1 beta. When I tried to run a full screen session of  
Win-OS/2 3.1, I noticed flickering on the screen before the WPS came right  
back: Error loading os2dui.exe or something like that. 

Also, when are Media Vision's drivers for CD-ROM in OS/2 going to be out?

Organization: D. J. Dougherty & Associates

Having gotten the CD for Xmas, I waited until now to get around to
playing with it.  My first shot was on a machine that has a non-SCSI
(read, proprietary, non-supported...) CD player.  So, I booted up DOS
and tried the "install 525" command, and got nowhere with it.  After it
asks you to press Y to continue, I press Y, and get err msg "Cannot
format target disk", along with msg "0 percent complete".  This is
absolutely repeatable; it also happens with a 3.5 drive.

	After playing with that for awhile, I decided to try the
LOADDSKF program.  This worked.  I cd'd to the BETADISK\CDINST\525
directory, and did LOADDSKF on both DISK0.dsk and DISK1.DSK.  Then I
tried to install with those, and found out that my CD player was
unsuppoorted (no surprise there, but I had to try it)

	Then, I read the DOSINFO.TXT, and it alluded to the possibility
of creating the installation disks, using the LOADDSKF program, and so I
tried that.  I cd'd to BETADISK\OS2SE21\525 and did:

	for %x in (*.*) do \install\loaddskf %x a:
(what fun!)

I then installed the system, and it seems to be OK.  A few comments:
	1) The sheet that comes with with the CD tells how you can
	   create "product diskettes" from an OS/2 window, but not how
	   to do it from DOS.  Nowhere is LOADDSKF mentioned - so I hope
	   I did the right thing.
	2) A general complaint I have about OS/2 installation is that
	   patience *is* a virtue.  Many places in the install, it could
	   use a simple "Please wait - I.e., trust me, I know what I'm
	   doing..."  (Any Sledge Hammer! fans out there?)  In
	   particular, after the last install disk, when it is setting
	   up to migrate your apps, it locks up cold solid (numlock and
	   capslock are disabled) for several minutes.  The first time
	   thru, I assumed it had crashed, and redid the entire install.
	   The second time, the same thing happened, and I was about to
	   do likewise, but then I got involved reading an article on
	   the net, and after several minutes, it miraculously
	   continued.
	3) Due to a bit of trouble with FDISK, I ended up installing it
	   on the D: drive.  Then, when I launched WIN/OS2, it complains
	   that it cannot open C:\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\STARTUP.GRP
	   (I am going to do the install one more time...)

For all that, it looks great!  Love the seamless WINOS2, on the OS2 desktop!

Hello,
Now that J.P has releases 32bit version of 4os2, I have decided to give it
a try. But new version requires 16bit version to be present on the system.
At 128.123.35.151 (aka hobes), in pub/os2/all/shells, there are about 5,6
files dealing with 4os2 and 4dos stuff. File names are confusing and I
dont know which ones to get. For example there are two files for 4os2--
4os210.zoo and 4os210.zip.rev-d. Now which ones of these to get? or both
should be downloaded. I have a slow modem so I can't afford expensive exper-
iments. Then there is file called 4os2updd.zip. What is it. If we suppose
that "rev-d" in 4os210.zip.rev-d indicates 'revised', then if have this
rev-d'd file, do I sitll need to down load 4os2updd.zip?
Same questions about 4dos...

Thanks for your help and time,

       hobes?

After reading IBM literature, talking with one individual and
thinking about the postings here I decided that I should post
several questions and study the responses before making any
purchases.

1.  If you value the ability to multi task as a driver to use
    OS/2, how much to you **really** multitask ?

2.  Is there any context in which OS/2 can be used to multitask
    and **not** force the user into a 'windows' mode ?  This
    question in regard to (1) several user developed tasks that
    only require non graphical I/O or (2) do the multitude of
    existing DOS applications programs only work in the window
    mouse world ?

3.  How would you rate OS/2 as an operating system if it's
    user interface were limited to a text based command line
    interpreter ?  Does it have such a facility ?

4.  Does the OS/2 file system allow a user to keep many versions
    of a file ? (like VMS)

5.  Are tasks limited by the amount of physical memory configured or
    does the concept (of virtual memory) extend to some part of the system disk ?

6.  Finally, put yourself in the position of asking this question:
    I am not a Icon-Mouse-Window person, what can I accomplish with
    this OS/2 tool ?

I should add that my hardware platform is 25 Mhz 386, micro channel with
a 120 Mb disk and 8 Mb Ram.

I recently purchased a Gravis Ultra Sound card but have had no luck getting
it to work under OS/2 2.0 (GA + SP).  When I run the setup program
(under DOS emulation) OS/2 traps (0002).  I have been running GA since
it came out and have never had a trap before, so I figure it is the
sound card that is causeing this problem.  I also tried running the
playfile program and it just crashes with an "illegal instruction

OS/2?

Any help would be much appreciated.

The internal Sportster comes with a 16550 UART, I think.

If you have an empty socket on your serial card you can always drop in a
16550 yourself for around $10.

It must have been a very short encounter. My C:\WINNT is 41Meg, the swap

On my 20Meg machine the minimum swap file size is 2Meg, so it should be at

It is definitely '737' because there are no (408)373-xxxx numbers.
There are '371' and '374' though.  The '737' prefix is for phone
numbers in Sunnyvale, whereis the '371' and '374' prefixs are for
phone numbers in Campbell.

Here are some more quirks in the 2.1 beta clock-

-The shadow behind the minute hand leaves garbage on the clock face,
but only between 15 after to half past the hour.

-Even though there is an option to change the font for the date display 
while the clock is analogue, it doesn't change the font.  It always

That doesn't sound like a memory problem.  That sounds like you're not
selecting "shutdown" from the desktop menu before powering the system
off.  So you left buffers unwritten, and clobbered pieces of your disk
each day.

I have the same problem. I use C-Kermit for OS/2 to connect to a unix machine.
Whenever I switch to any dos full screen session, the connection seems to
be dead. I'm running OS/2 v2.0+SP and the 9600 modem is on com3.

I had occasion to speak with someone at Diamond Systems (Stealth VRAM 
folks), last week, and he said (when I inquired about how soon I 
might expect OS/2 drivers) that Die-A-Mound wouldn't be developing 
any, had no plan develop any, etc., b., but that IBM itself was planning 
to release drivers for the Stealth VRAM card RSN.

Right.

Not.

Why don't you use Softerm, which comes with OS/2 2.0?  If you can figure
out how to set it up, it is more than adequate (I use it from home all of
the time).
