I can't *specifically* answer your question, because I don't do
RW for burning CDs.  However, the consensus I have heard is 
that for overall quality/reliability (regardless of price -- 
and this _is_ at the high end), Plextor is considered the best.
One of the Compuserve OS/2 Sysops has a facility that does CD
mastering, among other things, and has told me that Plextor is
what is considered professional gear.  I've been quite pleased
with my UltraPlex reader, and their burner which was added more
recently.  These are probably also faster than anything else 
currently on the market.  I would expect that their RW units 
follow suit.

Below this level, and more favorably priced, my dealer (a 
custom shop, and very critical when it comes to equipment) has
liked the Yamaha line.

Subj: moving apps between drives

From: alan@min.net.notspam

I'd like to move some applications from one drive to another (one day
soon, I hope to replace the second drive.)  Most of these are win 3.1 apps
for use with win-os/2, and the rest are dos apps.  I know that if I use
the shell to move the directories, the paths on the desktop will be
updated to reflect the new locations of the programs.  What about the
specific windows ini files for each app?  Are they also updated, or will I
have to edit each manually (in this case, replacing h: with e:) for things
to work?

On a related note, one day I will probably have install a Win "OS" on my
system, even if only to test some things, play some games, or use some
plug-ins that don't have OS/2 equivalents yet (still hopeful.)  I've got
boot manager installed, but OS/2 is on drive C.  When the time comes, is
there any way (short of reinstalling) to move OS/2 to another drive or
partition?  If not, and I have to install fresh on the new location, how
can I preserve my desktop and stuff?

Thanks.

Alan

That's good to hear, but it wasn't in time to help me.  Earth-
Link only offers the PPPoE for their ADSL service, and that 
only for W95/W98, so I'll soon be dropping them as my ISP.
Since they did not support NT either, which I run perhaps 15%
of the time (only for those things that aren't available under
OS/2), I'd have been s.o.l. on that side as well.

Is CAD Cmdr. the one from Perez Computing ?  There seem to have
been a few Process Killers available at one time for OS/2, but
I doubt any of them are still actively supported or undergoing
further development.  The last and only FP for Process Cmdr. 
hails from early '97, and the program could definitely stand
some additional fixing.  It is not really effective with the 
bad NS hangs, for example, when you crash at some badly behaved 
site -- though I expect that may be a SIQ issue, and maybe 
nothing could save you there.

A few months ago, some developer posted a msg. here that he was
working on a new Process Killer suite for OS/2 that he claimed would
eclipse PC or anything in this category that has come
before.  I thought I had saved his msg. & URL, but could never
find it again.  Anyone know who this was, and the product name?

Hi Stan,

I expect you've already explored this, but, just in case, it is
my understanding that a SB card, when installed, does a lot of 
"stuff" to your MMOS2 that cannot easily be undone.  (There is 
a MM wiz at the local user group, who is working on a white 
paper on the subject of hacking MMOS/2, to get around having to 
scrub it completely and reinstall it from scratch and reapply
FPs, when changing sound cards, etc.  No idea when this might 
be available.)

Have you been down this road already ?

Subj: Re: Memory Recovery Tool?

From: "Graham C. Norris" <norrisg@spam_free_linkline.com>

Clobbering orphaned memory is almost impossible to do safely. The memory
in question is almost certainly shared memory, or it would go away when
the Netscape process dies: if the process doesn't die, then that's a
different problem.

The problem with shared memory is that it is impossible to know what may
be using a pointer to something in it. If you clobber the memory, what
comes down next will be unpredictable! An approach used in a product I
worked on involved running through all the known system control blocks
looking for references to the "orphaned" memory: if any reference was
found obviously it isn't orphaned. If no references were found there
were three possible actions: report the finding but do nothing, ask what
to do, or clobber the memory automatically. The idea here was that you'd
use the report option for a while to get an idea of what's happening,
then change to use ask and see what happens. For instances where
allowing the memory to be clobbered did not cause any problems, those
specific circumstances would be switch to auto mode. All in all, a
distinctly non-trivial task.

Graham.

  I upgraded my hard drive and discovered that in moving from Chicago to
Houston,
my Quicken 98 cd was broken.  When I called customer service for a new cd, I
learned that that they could ship me a Win3.1 version but that was not the
default
and Win98 is the last Win3.1 version.  I now have a multi-boot machine so that 
I
can go to Windows and use Quicken and the more sophisticated web development
tools.

Alan,

Can't offer any info on the first part of your query, but I'll
have a go at the rest.  There are several "multi-OS Manager" 
programs around, which can let you have more than one C-Drive,
though I'm not sure if any of them can get past the limit of
4 Primary partitions per H/D.  I happen to use System Cmdr.,
which must have its files in the first Primary, which has to
be FAT.  For that reason, I planned ahead, also knowing that
I wanted a *real* DOS partition in my lineup, anyway, which
dovetailed pretty well with SC. NT, like OS/2, is capable of
booting from an Extended Logical partition.  Mine resides on
J:, although its boot loader files must be on C: #1, where SC
operates.  

If your Warp is on C: -- and particularly if this is HPFS -- 
you may not have an option to go this route.  OTOH, there may
still be some way to retroactively re-jigger your setup such
that you would have more than one C:.  It may require one of
the SC competitors, though.  If you have to move everything to
a new drive designation, it's likely a problem approaching the
hassle of complete re-installation.  There is a feature in 
UNIMAINT called Portable Desktop that is supposed to handle
much of this chore, however I have heard mixed reports as to
how well it actually does this.

I successfully migrated 3 OSes and partitions up through K:
from a 4.5G H/D to a faster 9G H/D, using Partition Magic 
3.05 and Drive Image 2.02 -- without having to re-install 
anything of consequence.  No Drive Letter Assignments changed,
though, and that was the key factor.  Having a detailed map
of everything sketched out on paper, covering "Before" & 
"After" was absolutely essential.  In this kind of setup, esp.
with more than one C:, HPFS &/or NTFS partitions, some par-
titions may not be seen from some OS boots.  Trying to main-
tain fairly consistent drive letter assignments, and avoid
problems, requires planning.  Being good at puzzles doesn't
hurt, either <G>.

From: ckennedy@frugalsoft.com (Chris J. Kennedy)

Just thought I'd let people know, Frugal Software is working on 
version 3.0 of NetLookout.  This version should ( not necessarily will
) include:
- automatic configuration retrieval from Netscape & IExplorer
- custom email messages
- integration with Lotus Notes
- optional "Explorer"-style interface, with folders
- able to use "auto-config" proxies
- able to test what happens when a site changes ( notification )
- minimize to system tray ( Windows only, duh )

There is a bigger list of "to-do"s, but that is what I've been working
on lately.  With any luck, 3.0 will be out around late January - early
February.

Now, if you are a NetLookout user who also uses Lotus Notes on OS/2, 
let me know, I need beta testers for this configuration.

Thanks,
Chris

Use ALLOCMEM.EXE, it'll do what is required, and the only "shared memory"
prob is your folders will open as slowly as right after boot, but only on the
next instance.

Subj: Unable to parse OS2PREF.JS

Message sender: stu@ifyoureplyhereyoumustbestupid.com

Hi

I'm using Netscape Communicator 4.04 with Warp4 FP9 and Java 1.1.7.
Communicator was working fine but it is now failing to load with a Fatal Error
box "Unable to parse OS2PREF.JS. Exiting". Any ideas how to remedy this error?

I've now had another one of these Fatal Error boxes "Unable to parse
OS2PREF.JS. Exiting" when trying to run the install for Java 1.1.8 (thinking
that an upgrade might solve the problem). So it seems unlikely that it's a
Netscape specific problem and more likely to be a Java problem.

Here is the relevant part of my config.sys file as it applies to JAVA and
NETSCAPE. I've edited out all the other lines as well as all the non-Java and
non-Netscape references from the lines (for brevity). If there is anything
missing or looking odd, I'd like to know.

I have a regular Java install on d:\JAVA11,
a regular Netscape 2.02 install on d:\NETSCAPE,
and a regular Communicator install on d:\inet\client\browser\netscape

Communicator 4.04 was working until suddenly I got the above error, so I guess
something must have been changed/overwritten/deleted. Netscape 2.02 still
appears to be working, and at least 1 other Java application also appears to
be working normally.

Is there anything missing/weird about my config.sys statements? I'd like to be
running Communicator 4.04 as my main browser and eventually remove Netscape
2.02 after I'm satisfied with 4.04.

Thanks Lorne

Had not thought about ATTRIb being able to deal
with directories as well. So I was (I had gotten an ans-
wer by email to which I refferred in another recent post
which pointed to the same source for the probel) cumber-
some using my file-manager pointing to the individual direc-
tories to straighten it out on a one-for-one basis.

ATTRIB -A directory-name is a lot easier and <g> it
even has support to do the whole tree at the same time:

ATTRIB -A directory-name /S

but I guess that one would also set the archive-bit OIN THE
FILES WITHIN the directories and not only on the sub-dirs in
the directory pointed to. Might sometimes be an unwanted extra
effect, allthough I don't think I ever use the archive-flag myself.

Are you referring to Annihilator/7?

Personally, I use WatchCat, though it doesn't work for everything.  
I'm not sure if it can still be registered, either.

Be sure to use a hardwareswitch to activate WatchCat. The keyboard often
doesn't work because it gets locked, too.

For killing processes you can also wait for Annihilator/7 (does anybody
know why /7?), but I'm not sure if it will ever be released.

Actually the easiest way would be to set up the new drive
with two primary partitions (apart from Boot Manager) either
of which will be your C: drive.  The only disadvantage is
when you're booted from one primary the other is invisible,
but since WIN crap is better left isolated anyway it's
really no disadvantage at all.

Peer to Peer is not the same as TCP/IP. You'd need both. P2P offers
File and print Sharing on a network, but not TCP/Ip services, which is
needed to access the Internet.

Assuming all 3 of your systems (OS/2/Win98/Linux) are now accessing
the net, then, yes, you could just plug the  ADSL router into the hub.
However, in this case, all three machines would need their own IP
address, assigned by your ISP. This may or may not be allowed by your
ISP.

A better way to do it would be to let one machine connect to the net
via ADSL, and use a Firewall/Gateway (such as Injoy's Firewall) to
supply a Firewall and NAT (Network Address Translation) functions to
the rest of the machines on your LAN. You'd need to configure TCP/IP
on all machines on the LAN to use the connected machine as the Router.

Linux may already have some of these functions built in ... I don't
know enough about it to make any recommendations but I know of one
user who is doing this, and at least one app  (IBM's Person-to-Person)
won't run through the Linux router.

FX Communications (the Injoy products) is currently beta testing PPPoE
functions for the next release (just days now) of Injoy Firewall, a
product to allow you to connect your home or office LAN to the
Internet via Cable Modem or ADSL connection. Here's the post from
Warpcast:

==============

During the past 3 weeks, F/X Communications has been successfully
testing the first native PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) implementation for
OS/2.

The PPPoE support has been tested by several users of the Sympatico
ISP in Canada and it seems to be working perfectly. If you have an
immediate demand for PPPoE in OS/2 then don't hesitate to contact us
at: support@fx.dk.

A new version of the InJoy Firewall will be released in GA within
days. Till then, we would like to verify our implementation with as
many ISPs as possible. If you are using a NON Sympatico ISP that
supports PPPoE, then PLEASE contact us.

From: l_luciano@da.mob (Stan Goodman)

I wish I could say the same. I have gone through that exercise any number 
of times (as according to the directions on the CRROM that came with the 
card), as recently as yesterday, and do not hear anything, except music 
CDs, which do not depend on the cards Codec. My conclusion is that the game
is up, and the card goes back to the vendor. My great thanks to everybody 
who tried to help with this.

The people at Cirrus have suggested that I try a PCI card. Unfortunately, 
Crystal Computer has suspended development of a PCI version, so that's out.
I may look into a Turtle Beach "Malibu Surround" card, which does have a 
PCI version, but I would buy it only if it is available locally; I don't 
want to take another chance on importing a soundcard, in view of this 
experience.

One fairly effectiive technique is to route all mail not
specifically addressed to you to a junk folder as with
   !(h.to="franks@") &
   !(h.cc="franks@")
for PMMail.

Of course, this filter must come after filters that route
other non-specific addresses you _do_ want such as mailing
lists.

Thanks for the reply.

I tried this but have some problems with the Junkspy sending a command
to the server. Also as I run both Pmmail for OS2 and W98 there is a 
conflict with the account setup when I have to switch OS.

From: rcpj@panix.com (Pierre Jelenc)

Suddenly Netscape 4.61 and 2.02 refuse to load. In the case of 4.61 I see
the splash screen detailing the loading of plug-ins, etc, then nothing.
With 2.02 there's a brief disk activity, then nothing. The errors in

the last two to one attempt with 2.02.

From the messages you appear to have a bad version
of the NPDI.DLL plugin, or perhaps npfimri.dll.

You can try removing these from the plugins directory
and see if that allows you to start netscape. They
are placed in the plugins directory when you run
fisetup.exe (This is the feature installer).

Sorry there was a typo there, the DLL names are
NPFI.DLL and NPFIMRI.DLL

I can only answer for the OS/2 side of things. I am very happy with
the Yamaha CRW4416SX SCSI drive. No errors burning CD's, with a
486 DX100 no less. Using CD Record/2 which is freeware. RSJ offers
a commercial solution for OS/2. Adaptec offers a Windows solution if
you are using one of their SCSI cards. You can also find Adaptec's 
product for Windows available retail. (Best Buy, CompUSA, etc).

CDRecord/2 along with an excellent audio/data shell can be obtained
from:
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Sector/5785/index.html#cdrecord

Just follow his instructions on the page, set-up was easy, and it is very
well integrated into OS/2's WPS. The author has done a wonderful job
in porting this from UNIX and making it an OS/2 product.

I don't know what 'nice.zip' is, I didn't need it. aspir101.zip, is
an ASPI router needed to give low level access to the CDRW
device. I never needed it for my CD-ROM devices before, however,
it hooks into OS2ASPI.DMD, which I added to config.sys for sake of
the CDRW to no ill effect to the other CD-ROM devices.

I basically just followed the authors instructions, step by step,
that he gave at:
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Sector/5785/index.html#cdrecord

I did this back in August, when he didn't include the above files in
his package. I think 'nice.zip', is something to prevent burn errors, but
I never needed it.

Anyway, you need to get this runtime package, (something that allows
UNIX ports to run under OS/2), again per authors instructions. This package
is also needed for Ghostview, which I strongly recommend, it allows you
to read/print the UNIX manuals for the software involved. Again, the author
specifies the package on his site. Install that, then install the Audio/Data
CD creator package. Make sure you have the ASPI router, and OS2ASPI.DMD
in OS/2 config.sys. The installation will set it up for you, if you don't like
to do it by hand.

Once the installation is done, you should have a folder, with CD Record/2
as an application, (which you don't use with the shell), and CD Data and
CD Audio as templates. The author uses Warp 4, if you are using Warp 3,
the folder doesn't set up as intended. You will get essentially meaningless
errors. Just move the templates that are created in your Warp 3 templates
folder into the CD-record folder, and if you want the backgrounds, convert
the JPG's to BMP's, and set them up as the backgrounds if you want them.

Once you have these things in your folder, drag the template to a hard
drive partition that has at least 650MB free. Drag what you want to burn
into the file box, then simply tell it to write the CD. Basically I have seen
nothing easier, and I am a newbie to this as well. The author has recently
added an 'on the fly' option, I have burned data using this option without
the intervening, 'create an image' step. You do still need to create an
image on the hard-drive if you want to copy a CD however. 

I hope this helps and feel free to email me, if you are having problems.

Not only that, I do indeed hear you on code bloat and wasted resourses.
However my target would be more at code created to undermine competitors,
(ie. Quarterdeck, Digital Research, IBM/OS2, etc, the list is endless), or
code
that you don't even remember whom you stole it from, so it is 'just there',
etc,
or 'snoop code' in microprocessors, or whatever the latest advertising gimmick
is on the Net, to overload the bandwidth even more, etc. Those IMHO, are the
real waste in computing resources.

This should probably best be continued in private email, should you wish to.

"nice" is the name of a UNIX utility that allows the user to alter the
priority of a process.  The name was adopted for an OS/2 version of the
same utility.  It allows the user to increase the priority of the CD
burning process, which should indeed help to reduce the chances of a
buffer underflow (burn error), but its use is more generic than just
that.

Subj: Sony Vario and OS/2

From: John Twelker <twelker@maui.net>

Aloha from Maui,

I'm still trying to help a friend install OS/2 on his Sony Vario. 
Everything goes well until the first restart ... then "Out of Range 
Scan" error appears, display locks up and everything dies. We tried 
disabling hardware detection. Yes, we're using the latest >8.4 
drivers.

Has anyone ever installed OS/2 on their Sony successfully ... or does 
anyone know of a workaround that might do the job? 

My friend really wants to go with OS/2, being totally frustrated with 
Win98 ... sure need and would appreciate help on this!

Please copy to email address as well

Aloha and mahalo nui loa,

John Twelker
Maui

Subj: mbase (MaxBase) /Java problem

From: Jack Gillis <jgil@widomaker.com>

I have just dl'd Mbase 2.05 and installed it. I think everything went as
it was  supposed to after a false start or two on my part.

However, I have three problems that I don't seem to be able to solve.

1. All of the Help htm files including the Index, when displayed via
Netscape  4.61 far exceed the width of the screen and I have to scroll
horizontally to  read a complete line.  That makes seeking help through
those files very,very  hard.

2. Likewise, the mbase Visual Form Designer behaves the same way.  I
can't see  the complete page of the VFD and have no way to scroll
because the scroll bars,  if any, are off to the right of and down below
the screen as are all of the selection buttons.

3. If I double click the Index.htm icon in the MaxBase folder I get a
3175 error  message saying the program encountered a problem and cannot
continue.  (That is  why I accessed help through Netscape.)

This is my first experience trying to run a Java App and am really
floundering  around.  The Java version as reported by Java -fullversion
is:

JAVA.EXE full version "JDK 1.1.8 IBM build o118-19991026 (JIT enabled:
javax  V3.5-IBMJDK1.1-19991026)"

Can someone help me on this?

Thank you.

I have also come to the conclusion that os2pref.js is a Netscape config file.
Unfortunately I cannot find any copy of this file anywhere on my hard disk.
Does anyone else have a copy of this file (from NS 4.04) existing on their
hard
disks? What does it look like? I tried renaming my users prefs.js, but I still
get the same message :(

Ahhh.. that explains that. Thanks.

Well I was pretty happy with 4.04 (my useage is not so demanding) but I
couldn't seem to download the 4.61 from IBM's sight for some reason. As I
recall, I completed the registration properly, but it wouldn't recognise my
registration. This was about a month ago, so maybe the problem has been
corrected.

Thanks for your help.

I have a situation where JavaScript event handler onKeyPressed works
when I test on my localhost server, but when I upload the page it
does not work (but onChange works, most of the time, I would say).
Is there any reason for that or it's just a bug in Comm/2?

Also, one can use <font color> whatever </font> inside of
<a href=xxx> </a> tags to modify the color of that specific
link. However, with Comm/2, this will not allways work, sometimes
VLINK will override, sometimes it will not (in most cases depending
on the color). Is this common behaviour or just a bug in Comm/2?

From: tvoltagg@home.com

I put Quicken 98 on and can do everything EXCEPT online banking.  The
problem is that I'm behind a firewall and can't load secure websites.
I have a Warp machine peered to a win95 machine using Internet Gate.
Using Netscape for OS/2, I can do this, but using the 16 bit Netscape
4.04 or Internet Explorer 128 bit encryption browsers, I can not load secure
sites.  Has anyone solved this?

You should test *all* uploaded web pages on a variety of browsers, 
especially the Big Two on Win9x. That will answer your question.

VLINK is dependent on how your browser is set to handle "History", and a 
lot of people (me included) have come to automatically disable Netscape 
History under OS/2. Again, test it on a conventional browser on a Win9x 
platform.

Subj: I think java problem?

From: "Rade Popovic" <rascho@nospam.iname.com>

Hi

I have this problem which I noticed yesterday. I use TCPIP 4.1, and
configuration application doesn't work anymore, although TCPIP is
working and configuration can be changed manually by editing scripts.
So I think this is java problem. Here is (what I think to be) error
which is written when starting "TCP/IP Configuration (Local)":

Notebook.createDataObjects() - NullPointerException caught by client
communication with server

When I start Configuration program all list boxes are empty, actually
everything is empty and there is nothing to change (as I have said
earlier all configuration files are there and TCPIP is working
normally). Here is result of "java -fullversion":

JAVA.EXE full version "JDK 1.1.8 IBM build o118-19991026 (JIT enabled:
javax V3.5-IBMJDK1.1-19991026)".

Has anybody else had this problem?

I want Netscape to do it for me.  I'm not asking for a lot.  Just for them

Barry:

	This site sounds most intriguing.  Would it be at all possible to
have a look at it?

	Given what I look for I would have to say that the graphics
professionals and the manager don't get it.  As an ex-information
"professional" I can tell you right know that the best source for me is the
one that gives me the information I need in the quickest simplest way
possible.

That's odd (FWIW), Earthlink has supported me flawlessly under NT from 
the beginning, albeit for their ISDN service (you use RAS, and there 
is no custom dialer or browser BS).

BTW, I'm lurking here, not to push NT, but b/c I want to give my entire 
"WS Advanced -over- Warp 4" LAN access and not just the NT desktop, and 
if I need to buy a router I figure I might as well move up to DSL.

Subj: Lotus Smartsuite problem

From: racette@cablevision.qc.ca (Martin Racette)

Hi guys,

I have a weird problem, 1-2-3, Approach,
and Freelance, all sotp working together
(I mean at about the same time), and all
have a different symptom:

1-2-3 can't find a DLL, that is there 
(as is always was)

Approach can't go any further than 
trying to load the startup  window (the 
one with the most recently opened files)

Freelance is saying that I'm out of 
memory (128Mb RAM)

I tried to re-install to whole suite, 
after the re-installation everything was
working fine, I had to re-boot, so I did
a normal shutdown and all three program 
began to behave as before I re-installed

BTW. Approach is complaning about 
PMMERGE.DLL, which is the that ship with
FP12, and was working before last week

//-------------------------
Thank you in advance

Merci a l'avance

Did this all break AFTER FP12 was installed?

If so, you were one of the many bitten by FP12...IBM's last great attempt
to kill off OS/2.

I think I know what happened to you though.  You have multiple problems. 
The first is FP12.  The second is that, one way or another, you had to
hard kill your box.  In doing such, one of the DLL's Lotus uses got
corrupted.  (Approach on my notebook has that problem eventhough I have
NEVER loaded it to do anything, yet WordPro runs perfectly eventhough it
has been open many many many times when FP12's wonderfull printer driver
caused me to have to hard boot.)

Boot from utility floppies created PRE FP12.  Run CHKDSK C: /F:2    Do
this twice.  Watch your error messages.  You should see one or more DLL
files in the Lotus directory tree get set to zero block size.  Corrupted
allocation entries in HPFS have a weird way of surfacing.  DLL's appear to
be fine when doing a directory, but internally they are zero blocks in
size after corruption.

I just discovered something - it looks fine with netscape 2.02,
but 4.x uses a smaller default font than 2.02.  if I make the
fonts bigger, it looks crappy in 2.02..  so just simply increase
the small default font in ns 4.x. <g>  I love 2.02 =)

on the brighter side, i've gotten a several e-mails saying how
cool my site looks.. If you don't like my site for -any reason-
simply write up a text file with your name/address and save it to

Please forgive me for cluttering things up by quoting both these
messages but wanted to comment on both of them:
  
    YER DARN TOOTIN'!


I have been forced to adopt certain ways of operating that are not
optimal.

1. When visiting web sites that have peculiar color text/background
   combinations that are hard to read... I just move on without
   reading anything.

2. When web pages have so many graphics they seem to take forever
   to download...I just move on without reading anything.

3. When I receive e-mail that is HTML formatted in tiny little
   text...I just delete it without reading anything.

Every time I have to increase character size to read something it 
means I will later have to reduce character size when I am viewing
"properly" formatted text. This requires a mouse dance that I am
throughly sick and tired of. Move mouse to select this, click mouse.
Move mouse to select that, click mouse. Total round trip requires
24 repetitions of move/click. It got very old in a hurry. I have
eliminated these inconviences by simply ignorning ALL difficult
to read web pages and e-mails.

Dink,

While I appreciate that you like your stye and why not as the net is 
the ultimate in free expression, I would just like to point out that 
the choice of colors and font size would make your site difficult to 
read for those who are either color blind or visually impaired. I am 
of the impaired variety and have to make the fonts bigger and change 
the contrast but otherwise I see no problem with the site.

Pull down Netscape's "View" menu and you'll see among other things:

	Increase Font Ctrl+]
	Decrease Font Ctrl+[

so, in this case, it's not "undocumented Netscape" at all. And there are a 
good number of other menu items labelled with their keystroke shortcuts.

No, not at all: I am using NC 4.61 GA together with "SmartCache" - which
I can only recommend! - and which can also replace certain addresses
like */banner/* or whatever with either nothing or any image you choose:
Works fine and many otherwise very "nervous" websites with blinking and
always moving ads become really nice!

A difference might be the fact that I don't use a 1x1 GIF but a bigger
one with just a nice color pattern, but I don't know if it matters?!

There is already an unofficial Quicken web site that has the updates for

Intuit, so I would assume that Intuit does not have a problem with people

It also plays havoc with some UNIMAINT functions, and other
things.  (This behavior was apparently fixed for OBJECT DESK-
TOP, but Stardock never bothered with such an update for PC.)  And, it
can be disastrous if you don't switch back before

I've long used the joystick (connected, as they usually are,
to the sound card js connector) for this purpose.  WatchCat
mentioned this option in their documentation.  Does that fit
in with your description ?  

If these add-ons really make WC superior to PC, I just might
want to revisit my process killer choice for the main Warp 4
partition.  I know the latest front end was posted to Hobbes.
Same place to find the previous add-ons ?

Thanks in advance.

  Isn't that the purpose of HTML?  ...availability to everyone.

  At 1600x1200x24bit the fonts are smaller that I normally set for
development.
It doesn't matter though.  From what I read you've reinvented a few of the
unix
tools.  I didn't explore further.

  On the positive side, the text as reasonably descriptive and allowed us to
make
a choice based on the first screen.  We didn't need to explore each utility to
find out its purpose.  I didn't see the background since I turn off processing 
of
most advanced html tags.  That keeps the speed up and the content reasonably
advertisement free.

  We've commented enough on this site haven't we?  I'm a bit dissapointed 
though that the content (utilities) were'nt explored that much.  Actually,
that should give Dink his answer.

  Happy Thanksgiving everyone,

  David

This is using Netscape v4.6. If I try Lynx, I get:

There seem to be **sssssoooo**** many sites I can't access, www.palm.com,

Would this problem be related to me running Netscape under OS/2, or is there
something in my config which can be changed. I can't help feeling there is a
MS IIS blocker out there somewhere preventing my access.

Hi again!

No, I think you are on target, however, you medicine does not work.
I used the eabrowser, and noticed, just as you suggested, that the
"Temporary Desktop" was of class WPDesktop. I removed it, and now only the
Desktop is of class WPDesktop. I have run checkini but that does not 
change anything ("checkini /C /DC:\Desktop"). Any further ideas? 
Anything to change in os2.ini or os2sys.ini with initor or any such program?

Thanks,

Subj: IP Masquerading

From: chdove@home.com (Clive Dove)

Can anyone tell me if there is an OS/2 version of the Linux IP 
Masquerading facility?
This is the facility that allows the machines on an internal net to 
access the internet without having to get ISP leased IPs for all of 
them.
I am about to connect two machines, one of which is the machine 
presently used for internet traffic.  I know I can do this under Linux
by using IP Masquarading but I would also like to do it under OS/2 
which is my default OS and which has the bulk of my applications
I also will have to do the same under Win95 which I am forced to have 
aboard because my government has written software which I must use and
it is written for Win95.

Have you looked at the Lexmark Optra 40 Color?  I have one that I got

printing and is postscript/pcl6.  Check out the specs at 
www.lexmark.com and then look at 
http://www.20-20consumer.com/htm/printers_lexmark_optra_color_40_serie

to get some idea on prices.  I notice that the $219.95 specials are no
longer around.  You might find some at www.onsale.com.

Just a quick note to all the naysayers out there who have
whined so madly about Dink's web site:

<RANT ON>

Dink has provided a great service to all of us.  (1) the guy
has a web site that promotes OS/2, (2) the guy is offering
everyone his free OS/2 utilities, and (3) the guy is also offering
other valuable instructions and guides.

To come in here and bitch and moan over the design of
his site is pure bunk.

As an OS/2 Web Master I've had to put up with the never
ending whiners out there who are never satisfied with any
web site: " too many graphics", "not enough graphics", "dump
the Java script or Java applets", you are doing a disservice
to the OS/2 community for failing to provide Javascript or
Java applets", "your site's coloring is atrocious", "your site is
so beautiful I've made it my home page" "I hate frames" "why
don't you use frames" "you don't update often enough" "you
update too often", etc...

BE THANKFUL for all the DinkMeisters of this OS/2 world.
They keep us informed, offer us great free utilities AND other
great OS/2 information and guides.

There.  I've said my peace.

<RANT OFF>

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

I just ordered a CD from their website.  They don't have the 16 bit
version of Quicken 98 available for download, though they do have the 32
bit (Win95/98) version downloadable.  We who use Q98 for Win 3.1 have to
pay to get a CD shipped.  Not fair, but that's life.

        FX Communications has the InJoy Firewall product that does NAT.
The standard version only provides NAT, the Pro version provides NAT and
a firewall.

        The machine that connects to the external modem/cable/xDSL requires
two NICs. One for your internal lan and the other to connect to the outside
world.

        I have been using the product for the last year and am very pleased
with it. I have used an old PS/2 with Pentium OD processor as the gateway
machine running Warp Connect and a mix of OS/2 and Win9x on the internal lan.

The CD they send is the full Quicken program, I believe, not just the
upgrade files.  I doubt Intuit would want that available for download. 
They make the 32 bit version of the Quicken 98 program, and some others
(Q2000, I believe) available for download from their site for customers
who have problems upgrading over the web, but I would think they want that
under their control.

I still don't understand why Intuit doesn't simply have the upgrade files
available for download from their site, and why their tech support is a
toll call.

Verify that you're using CHECKINI version 2.45 (Nove  3 1999)

If you run CHECKINI /C it will tell you whether it can or can not find the 
Desktop, and if it can't it will tell you to use the /D option.

Then, if you use the /D option, you should wait a bit after CHECKINI 
closes, to allow the changed EAs to be written to disk, then do a reboot. 
You may or may not be able to do an OS/2 Shutdown, depending on the state 
of your system, so you must be very patient about giving the system time to
record onto disk this change, before rebooting with C-A-D.

If the Temporary Desktop window comes back up, run CHECKINI /C to find out 
if CHECKINI feels the IDs have been corrected. If it starts up normally, it
will give you the option of restoring lost objects. When this happens, I 
usually Ctrl-Break out of CHECKINI and restart it as CHECKINI /Y:2, to save
entering a lot of keystrokes. Very often, the next reboot will bring the 
good old desktop back up the way you want it.



Some people suggest making sure there is this entry in CONFIG.SYS:

SET DESKTOP=C:\DESKTOP

but I've never found it to help, and have run systems for a long time 
without it. I feel it might even cover up some other problems, temporarily,
so I'm more comfortable without it.




>Any further ideas? 
> Anything to change in os2.ini or os2sys.ini with initor or any such program?

Very dangerous. I don't believe there is enough documentation outside IBM 
to allow these complicated restorations to be made with direct INI editing.
Let CHECKINI do it for you, since Henk makes it create a complete database 
of entries to examine for inconsistencies, to be sure of restoring 
everything in a consistent, usable fashion.


By the way, at this point you might want to begin with an output log by 
running 

CHECKINI /W:3 /S

and examining the resultant CHECKINI.LOG for the <WP_DESKTOP> string. You 
should have something similar to these two lines, somewhere:

Folder : 5285F Class WPDesktop <WP_DESKTOP> - C:\DESKTOP     [line 412 in 
mine]

and

<WP_DESKTOP>    points to 5285F - C:\DESKTOP                 [line 3202 in 
mine]


All else fails, write to Henk directly, or copy a followup to him at the 
email address listed in his documentation. But, as always when asking for 
this kind of help from a programmer, make sure you're using his latest 
version, and make sure you've read all the documentation that it comes 
with, or is posted on their website. Henk's documentation is especially 
well written, though I don't believe English is his mother tongue, and 
there's a lot of useful help published in there already.

You should learn to use the keyboard, in Netscape a <CTRL>+] (Control and
Close Bracket) will 
increase the fontsize, corespondingly, a <CTRL>+[ (control and Open Bracket)
will reduce the 
curreny font size.

Just because you can mouse around doesn't mean it is the best way.

Just as most issues are seldom black or white, so are most good
solutions seldom black or white.  Beware of the solution that requires
one side to be totally the loser and the other side to be totally the
winner.  The reason there are two sides to begin with usually is
because neither side has all the facts.  Therefore, when the wise
mediator effects a compromise, he is not acting from political
motivation.  Rather, he is acting from a deep sense of respect for the
whole truth.

Yes, FX Communications is currently testing PPPoE with Sympatico, and
so far everything  looks good. Visit their website at http://www.fx.dk
and check out the Injoy Firewall product.

There is also a very active mailing list that you can join from the
same website. Click on the  link  to Support, and then to Mailing
Lists.

Say, "Robert", or may we call you "Bob"? Or do you prefer "Bert"? (We're 
all jus' chickens, here, right?) If you'd scan the other material in these 
OS/2 groups you'd probably notice that a big part of us Users' problem in 
continuing to use OS/2 going into the last year of the millenium, is 
getting IBM to take the product as seriously as we do.

So you probably then see how your posting of an Outright Open Undisguised 
Warez solicitation here is both counter-productive and quite out of place.

The fact that you post it here coded in wasteful HTML makes your 
participation even more unwelcome. Despite what Micro$oft would have you 
learn by their example, you should Respect the Internet, and respect your 
neighbours' bandwidth. We have a number of participants here located in 
countries where they must reach the Internet through very expensive dialup 
connections, and they pay by the minute, so your article takes three times 
as much money as it would normally.


When you use USENET news groups, or "Discussion Groups" as Micro$oft tries 
to steal by renaming them, you're supposed to read the FAQ and read through
the existing material before you post anything, to make sure what you have 
to say hasn't been covered before and to make sure what you say is welcome.
Whether you use OS/2 or not.



[And I'll bet that by the time the thread from your request dies down, this
one will have been the most tactful and respectful. Whether it deserved it 
or not.]

Quite possibly.  All I could remember was that the name sounded
sort of like a DOOM type of game . . .  and this seems to fit
that description.  Would you happen to know where I could find
out more about this, or contact the author ?

Apparantley there is IP Masquerading in WSeB (Warp Server for
e-Business), but not in the Warp  4 Client.

FX Communications has a couple of sharware offerings that will do what
you want. http://www.fx.dk.

The Injoy Dialer can be used with a Dialup Modem and ISDN connection
to provide NAT (Network Address Translation ... IP Masquerading).

The Injoy Firewall will do it with ADSL and Cable Modem connections.

Subj: Canon OS/2 drivers...letters wave back and forth.

From: Robert Smits <rsmits@home.com>

Hi. I have a Canon BJC-4100 bubble jet. I have a serious print quality
problem with all the OS/2 drivers I've tried.

When I print large type, the head needs to make two passes to print all
of the character. When it does so, the top half and the bottom half
often aren't in very close alignment, and the letters look terrible,
falling over to one side or the other.

I tried the OMNI OS/2 drivers, which do this, and the latest OS/2 Canon
drivers, which support the printer, but also do this.

I can't find any way to adjust the side to side registration in the
driver, like you can with some bubble jet Canon faxes, either.

The odd thing is that the Canon Windows drivers don't seem to have this
problem at all.

Any suggestions (beyond buying a newer or different printer) ?

Thanks, Bob.

Desperation at finding a way past the memory leak, maybe? The first thing I
turned off was the autocompletion, at Edit | Preferences | Navigator | 
Smart Browsing, then I saw a report that deleting NETSCAPE.HST could repair
some problems. I now have turned off the option at Edit | Preferences | 
Navigator | History by setting it to "0", and by running a cleanup.cmd file
at each reboot that finds and deletes any NETSCAPE.HST file that turns up.

Do I need to do it? Until I did it, I was seeing some of the problems 
others have reported, but since then I don't see many.

Yea, i played around a bit with the fonts, and the way it looks currently
looks the best to me.  heres a challenge for all the people who decided to
complain and be ignorant and yadda yadda: help me create some javascript
code that'll detect the 4.x browser and set the font a few points higher.
I just came up with this idea and think it'll work great, but i don't know
anything about javascript.  hehhe.  =)

i'm a nice guy, really.  =)  i'm glad some people like my stuff!

I'm so old I still believe that, when someone makes you a gift, you don't
whine about the packaging in public. (BTW, when I was 20 most folk I knew
were painting their rooms purple; as far as I recall, we all survived and
our university wobbled its way to staid respectability, as did most of us)

However, if you don't have that DSL connection, it's the pits.  Most

barbed wire connection I have.  I have complained to Lotus more than 
once.  IBM is just as bad, and I can't seem to get their attention

From: Thomas Kellerer <Thomas.Kellerer@tps-labs.com>

I have seen this happen, when some other window was hung up, or still
displaying a message box (e.g. "unable to connect to server", or a file
save dialog). You might want to try to move all the windows until the
hidden message box comes back into view, or just close Netscape and
re-start

I wouldn't say "superior", because the problem of killing _all_
processes is still to be solved. But in my opinion the
stability of WC seems to be better ("With PC I could clear hangs I
wouldn't have had without it ...! ).

I just installed an AVM B1 active ISDN Card on my OS/2 machine. The

Can anyone tell me, how to configure the ISDN parameters now? I didn't

FP10 had a LOT of problems.

Either back track to FP8 or move up to FP12 and apply the Device Driver
fixpak after applying FP12.

Note:  You will most likely loose your sound card when doing this.

Double Note:  Warp still won't boot from an LS-120 at FP12.

If you are willing to PAY for it, then just order it from IBM.  Some
CompUSA stores will have OS/2 Warp as well.

Subj: SysInfo/2 new release is comming soon...

From: "CUS_ADM" <someone@microsoft.com>

Dear Friends!
    My work is going on. I will try to plase my new version of SysInfo/2 (PM
selfmade clone of wellknown NU 3.0 for Win 95/NT SysInfo ) into HOBBES soon.
Version number will be 0.50. Now you can download SysInfo v 0.038
(ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/system/sysinfo0038.zip)
    This is a list of enchansements and differences from current (0.038)
version:
    1)First page (Total info) is allmost compleate (Dos Support - corrected,
FixPack&Build Level - added, Multimedia&CDROM - addded, HDDs info - added)
    2)2nd page (Memory Info) - refresh is added
    3)Problems with opening of readonly *.INI files that prevent SysInfo/2
to start - corrected
    4)Last page (Device tree) - allmost done. Information is shown in Win95
style and now you can find all info about any device you selected + total
resource usage summary (IRQ, DMA, Ports, etc.) - also like in Win 95

    The SysInfo/2 project roadmap is:
    1) CPU&FPU benchmarks will be added to 1st page (may be, based on
SysBench source)
    2) Disk&CDROM benchmarks will be added to 3rd page (may be based on
diskbench source)
    3) "Details" buttons will be added to all page (to display, save & print
information summary in a text form)
    4) PCI devices will be displayed from PCI helper information, not from
DevManager, so you will see in Device Tree some PCI devices that is not
known/not installed in your OS/2 system.
    5) Command line parameters will be added to use SysInfo in *.cmd files
    6) MMIO information page will be compleated.
    7) All help will be written.

    And also... ;-(( From SysInfo/2 v. 0.50 time limit will be added. And
from v. 0.90 (I think, after doing step 5) from the roadmap shown above )
SysInfo/2 will become a shareware program. I think, the price will be smole
and not become a problem. ;-))

    Now, I ask you to try my current SysInfo/2
(ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/system/sysinfo0038.zip) to find some
bugs not listed in corrected list shown above. I am interesting in testing
my SysInfo/2 on new CPU (Pentium II >400Mh, Athlon, Pentium III) and on a
new VideoCards (all that are supported by SDD Beta 9). Please, take part in
beta testing phase! Taking part in this phase will garantee you a free
ordering of SysInfo/2 in future.
    Also you are wellcome to do national translation!

Well Robert, we like our 'little OS that does' so much, we would even
get an extra license or buy a new copy of OS/2 for every single machine
we run it on. So I'd be very supprised if anyone 'made you an offer'.
If you decide to bite the bullet and spend your hard earned money, dont'
buy OS/2 directly from IBM (their the most expensive I gather). Even if
you do, remember that OS/2 is cheaper than Windows NT 4.0 (which is
still partly based on old 16bit code from OS/2 2.0 !!) and which is
about as stable as windos98, and has less quality driver support than
OS/2 ! (re zip100/250, more than one CDRom drive, etc...)

You might get lucky on eBay, maybe somebody is selling their copy of
OS/2 4.0 Merlin (the one with Win3.11 built-in is preferred, it's called
'blue spine', as opposed to the 'red spine' version). Do not bother with
OS/2 3.0.

I'm sure somebody else will point out all the options for buying OS/2
from various vendors.

One last tip: when buying OS/2, do not compare the price to windos9x,
BeOS or Linux. Compare to Windows NT 4.0, AIX, SPARC/Solaris and the
like :-)

OS/2 forever !

That depends on how you enabled the sharing.  You can enable sharing 
in the "Shared Resources and Network Connections" object, in a CMD 
file or by right clicking on the drive or folder to be shared and 
selecting "Start sharing. See how it's shared and undo it.

Subj: Netscape 4.61 Works fine!

From: Michael W. Cocke <cocke@catherders.com>

<rant>

I've gotten sufficiently tired of reading messages like "Netscape 4.61 
makes the moon turn blue" that I just have to say something.

I've been using using the 128 bit version of Netscape 4.61 since the 
week it went GA on a number of Warp 4 and WSeB systems, various 
fixlevels(5-12) and various amounts of ram(minimum 16Mb, max around 180 
Mb) and I am experiencing _NO problems_ with Netscape 4.61.

On some machines, I use Internet Junkbuster, on some machines I don't. 
Most but not all of my systems have Matrox Mystique 220 video cards, but
some have Matrox AGP video - using Matrox drivers, not Gradd, and a 
few of my systems are using a generic SiS 6326 Video card that I bought 
at Compusa, and I am experiencing _NO problems_ with Netscape 4.61.

Some of my systems are using Adaptec SCSI controllers (using the most 
recent Adaptec drivers from the DDPak on-line) and some of my systems 
use IDE drives - standard drivers, nothing fancy or funky.  Some systems
are set up with FAT drives, some with HPFS, some with HPFS386 - 
With Netscape located on all of the above, and I am experiencing _NO 
problems_ with Netscape 4.61.

Last week, on my wifes' system, I thought I encountered a problem with 
Netscape-the problem turned out to be a typo in the config.sys file, and
I am experiencing _NO problems_ with Netscape 4.61.

I have the newest Java runtime  and the newest feature installer from 
software choice and I have Star Office 5.1 installed, and I am 
experiencing _NO problems_ with Netscape 4.61.

On most of my OS/2 machines, I have 3Com NICs (3C509C usually) with 
Netbeui configured.  Some of my systems also have TCP/IP configured for 
the same card.  Some of my systems have Netbeui configured for the NIC 
and IP setup for modem, and one of my systems has two different 3Com 
NICs in it - both configured for IP, one also configured for Netbeui, 
AND a dialin port for IP, and I am experiencing _NO problems_ with 
Netscape.

I'm writing this on my Thinkpad 380XD, which is running Warp 4 Fix 10 
and has 98 Meg of ram and some video adapter that I can't recall the 
name of, and I am experiencing _NO problems_ with Netscape 4.61.

I've enabled roaming support on my www server and in Netscape 4.61 (and 
in Netscape 4.7 for Windud) and have finally been able to consolidate 
all of my bookmarks from all of my work sites, my laptop, and all of my 
home computers, and I am experiencing _NO problems_ with Netscape 4.61.

I've never changed my Netscape settings for cache or history, and I am 
experiencing _NO problems_ with Netscape 4.61.

To everyone who is (and has been) complaining about Netscape 4.61- I 
suggest that you look elsewhere for the source of your problems.

Subject: Charge for E-Mail
Date: Friday, November 19, 1999 10:00 AM

Please pass this on to all you know.  Was forwarded to me.

Since many of us use e-mail for business and to keep up with friends and 
family,
I thought you'd like to know the following.  Please jump on it right away
and 
forward this to others.  

CNN has reported that within the next two weeks Congress is going to vote
on 
allowing telephone companies to CHARGE A TOLL FEE for internet access.  
Translation: Every time we send long distance e-mail we will receive a long

distance charge. This will get costly.

Please visit the following web site and file a complaint. Complain to your 
Congressperson. We can't allow this to pass.  The following address will 
allow you to
send an e-mail on this subject DIRECTLY to your Congressperson.

                         http://www.house.gov/writerep

Pass this on to your friends. It is urgent! I hope all of you will pass
this 
on to all your friends and family.  We should ALL have an interest in this 
one.

WAIT, THERE'S MORE. IN ADDITION, The last few months have revealed an 
alarming trend in the Government of the United States attempting to quietly

push
through legislation that will affect your use of the Internet.  Under 
proposed legislation
the US Postal Service will be attempting to bilk email users out of 
"alternate postage fees".

Bill 602P will permit the Federal Govt. to charge a 5 cent surcharge on
every 
email delivered, by billing Internet Service Providers at source.  The 
consumer would then be billed in turn by the ISP.

Washington DC lawyer Richard Stepp is working without pay to prevent this 
legislation from becoming law.  The US Postal Service is claiming that lost

revenue due to the proliferation of email is costing nearly $230,000,000 in

revenue per year.
You may have noticed their recent ad campaign "There is nothing like a 
letter".
Since the average citizen received about 10 pieces of email per day in
1998, 
the cost to the typical individual would be an additional 50 cents per day,

or over $180 dollars Per year, above and beyond there regular Internet
costs. 
 Note that this would be money paid directly to the US Postal Service for a

service they do not even provide.  The whole point of the Internet is 
democracy and noninterference.  If the federal government is permitted to 
tamper with our liberties by adding a surcharge to email, who knows Where
it 
will end.

You are already paying an exorbitant price for snail mail because of 
bureaucratic inefficiency. It currently takes up to 6 days for a letter to
be 
delivered from New York to Buffalo. If The US Postal Service is allowed to 
tinker with email; it will mark the
end of the "free" Internet in the United States.

One congressman, Tony Schnell  has even suggested a "twenty to forty
dollar 
per month surcharge on all internet service" above and beyond the
government's
proposed email Charges.  Note that most of the major newspapers have
ignored 
the story, the only exception being the Washingtonian which called the idea

of email surcharge "a useful concept who's time has come" (March 6, 1999) 
Editorial. Don't
sit by and watch your freedoms erode away!  Send this e-mail to EVERYONE on

your list, and tell all your friends and relatives to write to their 
congressman and say "No!" to Bill 602P.  It will only take a few moments of

your time, and could very well be instrumental in killing a bill we don't 
want.

PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW WHO USES EMAIL
REMEMBER THESE ARE TWO SEPARATE ISSUES THAT EFFECT ALL OF US ONLINE LET
YOUR 
VOICE BE HEARD   NOW,  NOT AFTER

From: dwhawk@southwind.net (Don Hawkinson)

Since this thread has turned into an good/bad web page discussion, I
would like to suggest some options.  On sites where the color/font
combination makes it difficult to read,  try looking at the raw HTML or
use an HTML stripper on the page.  In Netscape, you could save the web
page as plain text and then view it with your favorite editor.

That will still involve a some extra effort, but you may learn
something about HTML.

For those of you who do not have an HTML stripper, I have a free
command line utility (UNH) and a shareware PM utility (PMStripper) that
may be downloaed from my web page.

Maybe they fixed it now but hanging a Zip drive on OS/2 was such
a hassle that I gave up on it. On the other hand, I never had any
problem doing so on NT.

  I'm happily running 3.0. If anyone is buying a used copy it'll give you
the most bang for the buck, I think.  Performance on 3.0 is better than 4.0
on the two machines that I experimented with although not as fancy a
desktop.  By the way,  it looks like eBay is pulling
brand name software from their auctions. It happened with me as I was
bidding on a copy of MATLAB and another fellow who told me he was
bidding on some office software. They usually wait till the end of auction
before it gets pulled off. Don't know if OS/2 is on their pull list.

 Well, OS/2 compares favorably with any other OS  that uses  pathetic 
drive letters but to compare it with Solaris and AIX is stretching your 
rubber
band beyond the point of rupture.

I found "Back" button to be a much better solution.

I agree with both of you.  Damn, I can remember when both bell bottoms and
long hair were all the rage.  In fact, I had both, although the long hair
wasn't quite as long as that of some of my friends.  I can even remember what
I felt like back then.  This really gets the goat of my teenage sons.  How
dare their old man be able to out-think them!  Of course, they haven't
realized yet that age and guile beat youth, good looks, and a smart haircut
every time.

Keep up the good work dink

Subj: Lotus Smartsuite problem

From: racette@cablevision.qc.ca (Martin Racette)

Hi guys,

Roland told me how to find out if I have
a corrupted DLL in the smartsuite dirs, 
I did it but to no avail, it didn't find
any thing corrupted, so how do I get i 
back to a working state, and don't tell 
me to re-install I did it at least 4 
time already (and losing all thedekstop 
folder set-up and my smartmasters).

I can make Word Pro and Organizer to 
work but I also need Approach and 1-2-3 
nad Freelance (the most important one 
are 1-2-3 and approach for the 
administration of the bussiness)

BTW. this is version 1.1 nad Warp is 
running FP12, and they did work 
eversince FP12 got out until last week

//-------------------------
Thank you in advance

Merci a l'avance

Subj: problem deleting certain files

From: mike@lionsgate.com (Mike Stephen)

These files were produced by Netsuite News, a Newsreader for OS/2.  I
rather like the damm thing even if it does display some bugs.  However
so far this one has me licked.  These files used to be in a subdir of
Netsuite News, but I was unable to delete them or rename them.  As you
can see, they have a non us character in the name.  This barfs IBM
Anti virus, and Faskback/2 backup.  I cannot use "NUKE" to delete them
either.  So far all I have been able to do is rename the directory
they exist under to zzzpost so that at least I can backup all the rest
of my D: drive.  Do any of you have any idea how to get rid of such
files?

Thanks in advance!

One correction:  There is no such thing as OS/2 Warp 4.0 Red Spine.  Only
Warp 3.0 came in a red spine or blue spine version.  Warp 4.0 was blue spine
only, although member of the Developer's Connection got a "Special Edition"
OS/2 Warp 4 without Win-OS/2 for free (it installed like OS/2 Warp 3.0 Red

Did you have the installer modify CONFIG.SYS?  Specifically, are the 
correct entries in your PATH and LIBPATH statements?

Might this be a consequence of placing Netscape in a
sub-directory rather than its own directory off your
root (H:\ drive)?  Your placement may create
difficulties communicating with the TCP/IP stack.

Where do I get the latest Java?  I know it's available at 

http://ncc.hursley.ibm.com/javainfo/

but that requires me to join a mailing list.

Subj: CFM Twain vs. AdvanSys SCSI controller

From: laniear@pacificnet.net

I have a UMAX 1200S scanner and bought the CFM Twain drivers after
buying it (I already owned PMView).  No matter what I do I can't get the
scanner to work with that combination.  The sample scanning program
which comes with the CFM drivers (SwOS2) doesn't work either.

I got an e-mail from the developer saying that it wouldn't work with the
AdvanSys SCSI controller.  I am sure that I saw at least three posts
here several months ago from people indicating that they were using this
combination quite happily.  Any help would be appreciated.

BTW, the scanner works great in NT, but I don't bootup NT very often,
it's very cumbersome going back and forth.

Thanks,

Lee

I do not think that you can both base your benchmark code on the Sysbench

Subj: DVD-RAM Driver

From: "Michael W. Wernicki" <michael1ww@earthlink.net>

Hello,

I installed a DVD-RAM drive. With a CDROM in the drive, the system
correctly assumes the drive is a CDROM. Everything works perfectly. With
a 5.2GB writable media, the system seems to assume the media is
writable. The icon shown is the same used for a hard drive. Apparently
the size of the media is hard wired into the system.

The only media size allowed is 2.8MB, 1.4MB, 720KB, or 370KB. If the
media is formatted to FAT16, the system error message insists the media
is incorrectly formatted. This problem might almost be considered a bug.
It would seem a trivial type of patch would fix this problem.

I've tried the removable media, optical, or CDROM IBM WARP driver area
of the IBM Internet pages. Many of the manufacturers listed in the
driver page no longer support OS2 or no longer exist.

Anyone out there know a solution to the problem of giving OS2 the use of
5.2GB writable media?


Mike

It is here:

http://service.boulder.ibm.com/asd-bin/doc/en_us/java/f-feat.htm

Just take the runtime, not the entire development kit

You'll also need the Feature Installer v1.25 here:

http://service.boulder.ibm.com/asd-bin/doc/en_us/fi12/f-feat.htm

Once installed you can get the latest Java runtime update here:

I'm using the Advan SCSI card with CFM/SWOS/2, and a Microtek E-3
Scanner.

When booting OS/2 the scanner must be on in order for the SCSI card to
find it. You should see it listed early on boot in the Advan scsi
screen.

Here are the entries in my config.sys file....

REM ** CFM Twain drivers **
BASEDEV=OS2ASPI.DMD /SHARE
DEVICE=C:\OS2\TWAIN\CFM50\CFMASPI.SYS

REM *** SCSI Drivers
BASEDEV=ASC.ADD /L /A:0 /!SM:6
BASEDEV=OS2SCSI.DMD

**Note: !SM:6 means the scanner is on SCSI ID-6....

Hope this may help....
  
Frank.

Subj: Fixpack 12 and ESS1868 soundcard

From: "Cees van Veelen" <ceesv@NOSPAMveelen.hobby.nl>

In the readme of fix12 it says:

  3.0.7 TRAP IN ES16881$ AFTER FP10 APPLIED

   We do not ship any of the ESS sound card drivers in this Fixpak.  To
   correct the problem, get the latest ESS device driver for your card from
   the OS/2 Device Driver Pak online at

   http://service.software.ibm.com/os2ddpak/html/multimed/esstechn

Now I have a different soundcard, the ESS 1868. But I do have the TRAP
problem the readme mentions. On the site mentioned is a driver for this card,
but this driver also is quite old. on the site it says it is for all warp
version, in the readme of the driver it says it is for Warp 3.
It is not clear to me if this driver will solve the TRAP problem. At the
moment I restored to Fixpack 9 (I never tried 10 or 11).
Has anybody positive experiences with this driver and fixpacks 10 or higher?

Nope cannot move them from the drive.  I can rename the dir (and I

Attrib is not the answer. Been there done that.

I don't have a problem with text but the colour graphics quality is

Ditto. Windows drivers work exceptionally well.

The Warp home page is http://www.ibm.com/warp
which is routed to http://www-4.ibm.com/software/os/warp/

The download for Netscape 4.04 or 4.61 is at
http://www-4.ibm.com/software/os/warp/swchoice/

Set my Netscape correctly?  Well, this is the first I've heard that it's
"wrong".  In fact, I use Netscape heavily.  I used several versions
regularly, on multiple platforms (OS/2, NT, Solaris) and I've never
noticed that they were set up wrong.  I guess until now.  Funny, too, that
I visit many very popular pages regularly, and rarely hesitate to check
out a URL reference I receive either via email to see in the newsgroups. 
I guess I've just been lucky and managed to match my wrong setups with web
pages that were setup wrong to match.

The fact of the matter is, this web site is hard to read for me.  My
eyesight is fine, thank you, I don't have problems, usually.  I'll go out
on a limb and say that it would be hard to read for MOST web visitors. 
The author has done himself a disservice, and if he wants to keep it that
way, fine.  But the fact remains ... on a normal, default,
works-for-everywhere-else install of Netscape on NT and OS/2 on a fairly
highres setup, the web site is unreadable.  I did not try it with my
Solaris browser.  I don't care to.

>ie -
>if you dont like it learn to press ctrl+]

Yes, I've learned about this little feature.  And it works well.  I had to
use it 4 times in order to make his page reasonbly legible.  And people
are still missing the basics here.  I've been invited to visit a page, and
the page has made it difficult for me to visit.  Now, we can all think
back to our childhood/teenage years and how rebelious we were, but that
doesn't change the facts.  The site can be made more user-friendly.  As
rebelious teenagers, we know that many adults ignored us.  So, do the
utilities on this page want attention, or is the page about rebellious
artistic expression, which might tend to be passed over?

I'm really bored with this thread.  I don't think I can add anything else. 
My basic point stands, and is so crystal clear that, if someone wants to
argue, go ahead.  I'll resist the temptation to comment further.

I had the same problem with CFM 5.12 in combination with my 
DawiControl DC2975 SCSI card - they told me to buy a new SCSI 
controller, but as a student I'm always low on money and I found SANE 
working for me just fine ;-)
A few days ago I installed the latest driver from LSI Logic (former 
Symbios Logic) and with this, CFM suddenly did it...
So, if you want to try, install the latest BIOS for your SCSI 
controller as well as the latest driver - try both from the chipset 
manufacturer *and* the controller manufacturer!

But what happens when you drag them to the shredder?  Does it say the 
files are in use or what?

If you ran from a diskette boot, then you had to use command line, 
which you say won't recognize the odd characters in the file names.  
So again: do you have or can you create a maintenance partition, from 
which you can drag the files to a shredder?

Still using NS 4.04 here - although I've now got 4.61 ready to 
install.  I've had a look for OS2PREFS.JS on my system - it isn't 
there.  As you know the normal Netscape preferences files is just 
PREFS.JS which is in your Netscape\users\xxx directory.

It almost sounds as though something else has got corrupted possibly 
causing netscape to look for the wrong file.  Wish I could be more 
helpful.

Doesn't this seriously slow down the transfer rate of the SCSI card?  
Do you really need to have a dedicated SCSI card for RSJ?

Reason for asking is that I'm planning a very similar set-up and 
currently run an Adaptec 2940UW with 2 wide SCSI HDs and wouldn't want
to slow down the HD interface.

I guess not. But maybe this package can help:

ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/leo/drivers/ifs/hfsuo010.zip

AFAIR it can be used to mount Mac file systems.

That doesn't sound too good to me.  No pun intended.  I have had no 
problems at all with FP10.  I got the latest intellimouse driver from 
the Device Driver site and it didn't help at all.  I then got the 
regular mouse driver from FP10 and it's been much better.  But even 
then, it has locked up once.  I read of a people having problems with 
FP12.  If you have FP12, could you send me your mouse.sys file?  I 
could try that.

Subj: Re: Reading a Macintosh diskette.

From: jsjones@selectric.net

There are two choices, which should be on Hobbes or LEO, but they also at 
an old page of the author:

	http://www.student.nada.kth.se/~f96-bet/HFS/
	http://www.student.nada.kth.se/~f96-bet/hfsutils/

The author, Marcus Better, no longer supports though, though he has translated 

lessons learned into a Windows program to read Mac drives.

1. The HFS.ifs driver does work, but not without problems. For instance, you
can 
    read and copy files from Mac diskettes with full, 31 character, Mac file
names, 
    but you can only copy FAT-16 names to the diskette. It also doesn't
support 
    the resource fork. Only diskettes and CD-ROMs with a single HFS partition
work 
    with HFS.ifs, in my experience.

    DO NOT TRY TO USE ANY DOS HFS PROGRAMS (like MacInDOS) WHILE HFS.ifs
    IS LOADED. It will lock up your system.

2.  HFSUTILS are a collection of command line utilities that are supposed to
allow 
    *any* HFS formatted volume to be accessed. Both file forks are supported 
    and you can even change (or add) file type and creator attributes and
format
    volumes as HFS.

The second choice is much richer, obviously, but I use HFS.ifs, as it allows
any 
application to access a diskette or CD-ROM and is always there with out having 

to go to a command line. I don't believe that drives mounted via HFSUTILS can 
be accessed by applications (but, I haven't tried). I also don't know if you
can 
use the two concurrently and I'm not in a mood to trash my system to find out.

If you try this, please report your results.

On My Adaptec adapter this setting is 'per target', so you set it ONLY

I've had lockups with 123 too. In fact I had one this evening which
initially locked the mouse cursor, but after a while I managed to get
Process Commander up and it showed both 123 and the WPS trying to exit.
Exiting PC went to a blank screen but the cursor could move. Not much use
though since the rest of the system had hung. Here's the message from

PMMERGE.DLL 0004:0013bcfe


If it's of any relevance, I use a serial mouse, run Warp 4 FP12 with the
"unofficial" pmmerge.dll which was discussed recently. However, since I
had to reboot, I took the chance to replace pmmerge.dll with the version
from FP9. I had no reason to do that except to try something different
since pmmerge.dll appears to be the cause of a lot of problems.

Cheers,
Steve

Subj: Netscape and Content-encoding

From: danielh@crosslink.net

On the hopes that the ns os/2 team is monitoring these pages...

Netscape seems to incorrectly handle responses that have a GZIP
content encoding, AND that are then passed to helper apps.

In particular, Netscape does NOT "unGzip" the content before
passing it to the help app.  

Netscape does correctly deal with gzip encoded content when using 
internal display routines (such as when displaying image/gif or 
text/html responses)

BTW: this "feature" also appears in non-os/2 versions of netscape.

Injoy Gateway (Injoy Firewall) and SafeFire will both do this.  Both
are shareware, however.

TCP/IP 4.1 and WSeB might include this feature, or something like it... if
you can decipher it.

Not sure what you mean here.  If you have a gateway machine, you _only_
need the IP masquerading (NAT) on that one box.  I have a simple Linux box
for that purpose - one NIC connected to the cable modem, a second
NIC connected to my home LAN.  You don't need anything special on the
other machines.

If you have an OS/2 machine and a Win95 machine (which sounds like what
you're saying)... assuming your OS/2 machine is the gateway, you'd run
Injoy or SafeFire on that, and just point the Win95 box to the OS/2 box as
the default Internet gateway.  No additional software required.

OTOH, if you mean your gateway machine is dual boot OS/2 and Windows, I
guess you would need NAT software on both OSes.  This really seems like an
unnecessary hassle, though.

Hi.

I have the e-mail alert feature in NS 4.04 enabled, but when I get
incoming e-mail, I don't get a sound. All of my other programs that
require sound work perfectly. Is this a bug in NS 4.04? Is it fixed in
4.61?

Subj: How to launch seamless winos2 with REXX?

From: ddemmer@physics.utoronto.ca

I have written a little REXX script which allows me to feed long file names to 

the 16 bit MS Word viewer and launch it. However, the resulting session comes
up
as full screen no matter what I do. I have set the viewer itself
(wordview.exe) and
my default Winos2 session to be windowed, and indeed this is how it comes up
if I launch it directly.

The command string from REXX is:

address cmd 'E:\MSOFFICE\VIEWER\WORDVIEW.EXE' viewfile

Any suggestions?

Dittos here too. I have been reading all these complaints about Netscape
4.61. Mine has been very stable the past few months except the pmmerge.dll
problem, which I replaced. I also backed out of FP 12 down to FP 11 the same
down I applied it.

I had trouble installing after FP12 to.   I had to uninstall SmartSuite,
and then edit the config.sys because something was left. I don't remember
what. Then I ran Checkini, booted and reinsalled.

Thanks for your post, Jeremy. I guess you need to be a masochist to use OS/2.

I found this happening when downloading thousands of headers.  When I set
the max number of headers to download to 3000 it stopped.  Using 1.36 here.

It happens to me when I installed Netscape and then booted from another

From: "Roland Pinches" <Roland.Pinches@pmail.net>

I have an on-board Adaptec 7890 controller, which can set the transfer rate
by device, with 2 hard drives, a regular cdrom and a Yamaha CDRW and a 4mm
DAT drive. 

All the transfer rate settings are at the default and everything works
beautifully. Never had a problem with RSJ complaining that the transfer rate
is set incorrectly for the CDRW (mine is currently set to 80Mbps, default).

Why would you need to change it??

I know this might not be the best answer, but I've found that 
WordPerfect 7 for Windoze (3.1) works so well that, except for its 
inability to see long file names, you would think it was a native OS/2
app.  It's also a standard package - even WP 8 and 9 default to saving
documents in WP 6/7 format- so every package from WP 5.1+ on up can 
read its files.

"Best"?   DeScribe for sure.   Unfortunily, it's not supported anymore.    I
would vote StarOffice over WordPro but both are becoming "usable".   There's
also a word rocessor from a German company but I've not used it.

Not even sold, and not for the past few years (as I remember it, the guy
just stopped selling it because of rampant piracy).  I was just over at
Sundial.  Clearlook has been around for a while.

Word 9.0 is pretty good.  Maybe the Thor project can get that going.

It's called papyrus office and is a complete office suite (you can buy
the word processor seperately). An english version is available,
although I don't know if they have an english demo version, but you
might want to ask them contact@rom-logicware.com

The english homepage is still under construction, but has the basic
information

I grew up on Ami Pro.. so WordPro would be my choice as it continues the use
of 
frames for layout. Support of tabs and other features are great for long
reports and 
academic essays. It's also quite fast under OS/2 when compared to the other 
Smartsuite apps which is good since its the app that I use the most.

Try Papyrus Word from ROM Logicware (http://www.rom-logicware.com). They
started making a whole OfficeSuite, but you can get the word processor
seperately. It's very small in size, very fast and has tons of
intelligent features. I am currently considering buying it.

I use DeScribe for everything.  Depends on how much you want from a
word processor.  It's not great for Desktop publishing. I'm
generally able to import MSWord97 .doc format as ascii text. Loses
formatting and comes with garbage all around, but the text is there.
The add-in's available for html work okay though I almost never use
them since epm is so good for that. 

I've tried Lotus and Star Office.  Both seem very good and have many
more new features. Also much larger programs with more to learn to
use them, probably more uses. 

If starting the learning curve from scratch, would recommend Star
Office or Lotus Word Pro for cross-platform and liklihood of new
updates.  Extremely unlikely with DeScribe since the company is
gone.

Subj: Staroffice 5.1 problems. Please help.

From: larijani@arrow.utias.utoronto.ca (Rambod Larijani)

Hi,

I just installed Staroffice 5.1 on my Warp 3 machine (Pentium 166 
with 32 MEG RAM) and tried to load a 7 MEG Excel spreadsheet.
After my swap file had grown to about 200 MEG Staroffice crashed 
saying that there are not enough system resources (windows lingo!) 
to complete the task.I have about 300 MEG free on the drive where 
the swap file is located. 

Is there a special procedure I have to follow to load an Excel 
spreadsheet? What kinds of computers have you guys installed
Staroffice on? Do I need a Pentium III with 128 MEG RAM to 
run Staroffice?

Thanks for your help.

Rambod Larijani

I would agree with Kim Cheung on this question.  I've tried WordPro and I've
tried StarWriter.  Neither one can do the ONE thing I find I need for
professional looking documents, and that is the ability to use and display
proper typographic single quotes, double quotes and em-dashes.  There is only
ONE word processor that can do all of that, and that is DeScribe Voyager
5.0.6.  Unfortunately, the company went out of business a few years ago.  You
can still find people selling it, though, on comp.os.os2.marketplace and on
e-Bay.

One nice thing about DeScribe is that it is cross-platform.  The CD contains
executables for OS/2, Win32 and Win16.  And unlike other "cross-platform"
word processors I've used, a document created on one platform looks identical
on ALL platforms (provided the fonts used are available).
