assistant: Hello All.
                            Released 26 APR 97
                           ad109 f22 & u22.zip's
                                   NEW:
                v1.09.22     'ReadMe.Txt' - 'Sample Fixes'
  1. Added 2 new mets to adepts meta engine, {SD will return
     The Time Os/2 was booted at and {SE will return the time
     OS/2 has been up since boot.
  2.                 A MAJOR NEW twist.
     U remember how some people liked the 107 style menus?
     Well this "Hagar Build" will allow u to use your choice of
     menu formats.  UpGrading from 107f/g or 108 will be less
     of a hassel...
  3. Other good news is Nitin's got Vac for os/2, so expect a VAC
     compile's of the latest Adept 109.xx
  4. Also included is another avi.dll to try and fix the cirrus bug
     which is now ONLY happening on the new pci 5446 card and
     drivers from cirrus, if you have a 52 series card you should be
     all right as the previous fix is still in there.  Still working on it!
  5. New Included  'Telnet_Utils Zip' File.   [Several Assorted Zip Files]

assistant: I need help getting my protocols to work under OS/2.  The DOS
prots run fine when I am in a dos screen, but I need Squish/2
to be able to use them so I don't have to process mail manually.
This apparently is also causing some difficulty with Renewave,
even though it is for DOS.  It wasn't compressing the packet
for me, and upon checking the logs, noticed "archiver unsuccessful".
If you can recommend something that it a "multi-archive" program
for OS/2, or have DOS prots working with an OS/2 mailer, please

Direct from the sioref.txt that comes with SIO..
 Placing a dash "-" in the fourth parameter position, eg
 (COM1,3F8,IRQ4,-),  causes SIO not to provide any protection for that
 port.  The OS may still protect the port somewhat.  When the dash
 parameter is used the port is wide open (like DOS) for any process to
 access it.
The port stays hot.. And if SIO is doing anything with your mouse, something
is set up wrong. When mine boots, it says that COM1 is in use -- The mouse
has it. Course this is one of those Generic 2 button jobs that will use just
about any driver around..
