How to run WinOS/2 from 2.1 under WARP
Ronald Van Iwaarden, rvaniwaa@carbon.denver.colorado.edu


Hello all!

   I just installed a copy of the Gold OS/2 WARP 3.0 and wanted to run my
WinOS/2 from 2.1 under WARP.  I now have both fullscreen and seemless support
for WinOS/2.  This is how I did it:

1) Copy the os2\mdos\winos2 tree to another drive, say g:.
   To do this, here are the steps:
   a) mkdir g:\os2
   b) mkdir g:\os2\mdos
   c) g:
   d) cd \os2\mdos
   e) xcopy /s c:\os2\mdos\winos2 .
2) Install WARP on the original drive.
3) Insert disk 9, go to your root drive and type the following:
   unpack a:\winbase
4) add the following lines to your config.sys:
   device=c:\os2\mdos\vwin.sys
   device=c:\os2\mdos\vw32s.sys
5) In config.sys put g:\os2\mdos\winos2 in your path and dpath
6) In autoexec.bat, put g:\os2\mdos\winos2 in the path.

   Note that this is not supported by IBM and may result in all data on your
hard drive being lost.  I will take no responsibility for any damage that
occurs due to your implementation of the above.

   However, if you want version 3.0 but need to run Windows progs, this is a
way to get away without giving any more $ to MS and you get OS/2 fullpack now
rather than in 1995!

TTYL,
