OS/2 2.1 - README
_________________
Welcome to OS/2* 2.1. This readme contains
helpful hints found in our testing as well as
updated information that did not make our
printed publications. It is divided into the
following categories:
o General System Considerations
o WIN-OS/2 Application Compatibility
o DOS Application Compatibility
o OS/2 Application Compatibility
o DOS and WIN-OS/2 Multimedia Application
Compatibility
o Network
o Advanced Power Management
o Display adapters
o Audio Adapters
o Printers
o Scanners
o Mahjongg Game
o Trademarks and Service Marks
A separate Readme file for MMPM/2 is contained
in the MMPM/2 program.
GENERAL SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS
o OS/2 2.1 uses a system proportional font
that is designed to meet the International
Standards Organization (ISO) 9241 standard
and the German DIN 66234 standard on
suitable hardware.
ISO compliant fonts cause some text strings
to be clipped. If you do not want to use
ISO compliant fonts, modify the OS2.INI
file to install fonts that are not ISO
compliant. Font changes made in the
OS2.INI file are global across all
applications. If you have REXX installed,
you can type the following information into
a CMD file and use it to change the font.
/* */
call RxFuncAdd "SysIni", "RexxUtil", "SysIni"
AppName = "PM_SystemFonts"
KeyName = "DefaultFont"
FontName = "10.System Proportional Non-ISO"
call SysIni "USER", AppName, KeyName, FontName||"0"x
exit
After the file has been run, shutdown and
restart the system.
o If you experience video corruption:
- Display the pop-up menu for the
desktop; then select Refresh to redraw
the desktop.
- If the screen goes blank, press Alt+Esc
to switch between the applications to
force repainting of the screen.
o DOS Images on the hard disk (VMBs) need to
use the FSFILTER and FSACCESS drivers
provided with this version of OS/2.
FSFILTER and FSACESS drivers are located in
the \OS2\MDOS directory.
o The Check disk option for a CD-ROM object
will not display information about the
CD-ROM. To obtain information about the
CD-ROM:
1. Point to the CD-ROM drive object.
2. Click mouse button 2.
3. Select the arrow to the right of Open.
4. Select Details view.
o During a system shutdown, there might be
times when the "Shutdown is completed"
message is not displayed. If this happens,
wait until all disk activity is complete,
then power off the system.
o If you are installing OS/2 2.1 over a
system that has OS/2 2.0 installed, the
desktop directory name will be "OS!2_2.0_D"
and the title of the desktop will be "OS/2
2.0 Desktop". On a system that has OS/2
2.1 installed, the desktop directory name
will be "Desktop".
o If you have a preinstalled system, and you
change your country or keyboard configuration
using the Configure Preinstalled System program,
located in the Configuration Tools folder, the
changes only occur for OS/2 sessions.
To configure the country and keyboard for WIN-OS/2
sessions, use the International icon from the
WIN-OS/2 Control Panel.
o After installing OS/2 2.1 on your system, use the
Migrate Applications program to migrate your programs
instead of the Selective Install program. The
Migrate Applications program is located in the System
Setup folder.
WIN-OS/2 APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY
o The performance of Windows programs that
use floating point operations can be
improved by changing the WIN-OS/2* setting,
WIN_RUN_MODE, to Enhanced Compatibility.
o Windows scanning programs should be run in
a WIN-OS/2 full-screen session to avoid
video corruption.
o To ensure the integrity of 16-color bit
maps on SVGA, XGA, and 8514 systems, run
Microsoft Paint Brush in a WIN-OS/2
full-screen session.
o Some messages encountered in a WIN-OS/2
window session request that you select
either Ignore or Close, however the only
options are Ignore and OK. Select OK
instead of Close.
o If you are using a WIN-OS/2 window session,
an OS/2 Presentation Manager session, and a
DOS full-screen session, Alt+Esc might not
sequence through all of the windows
correctly. Alt+Esc might switch to the
WIN-OS/2 session every other time or the
DOS full-screen session might never be
displayed.
To avoid this problem, press Ctrl+Esc or
press mouse buttons 1 and 2 at the same
time to display the Window List then select
the desired session.
o If you are in a full-screen WIN-OS/2
session and you encounter a problem where
transparent desktop icons appear over open
windows, minimize or maximize the window to
force repainting.
o The Copy Disk option for the WIN-OS/2 File
Manager does not prompt for a target
diskette. Use the DISKCOPY command in
either a DOS or OS/2 command prompt session
instead.
o During installation of the Windows 3.1 SDK,
a message is displayed stating that the
installation program cannot find
KRNL286.EXE or KRNL386.EXE. Ignore the
message and continue installation. The SDK
will function normally.
o If you are using the Winsleuth Gold
hardware diagnostics program:
- Do not run Chip test (RAM test
program). Chip test attempts to lock
hardware interrupts. OS/2 2.1 does not
allow programs to lock hardware
interrupts.
- When the video mode hardware test
switches from character to graphics
mode, a "suspended" message might
appear. If the message appears, Select
Full-screen from the Sessions System
menu. Testing will resume.

the printer to LPT1 instead of LPT1.OS2.
Norton Desktop 2.0
------------------
Run in a WIN-OS/2 full-screen standard-mode session.
Paint Brush**
-------------
To ensure the integrity of 16-color bit maps on
SVGA, XGA, and 8514 systems, run Paint Brush in
a WIN-OS/2 full-screen session.
If you are using the Paint Brush program in a
WIN-OS/2 window session, the mouse pointer/hourglass
will not disappear when the Zoom In option is
selected from the View menu. In a full-screen
WIN-OS/2 session, the mouse pointer/hourglass
will disappear and only the Zoom In box will
remain on the screen.
If you are using Paint Brush to paint single
pixels in zoom-in mode, the pixel will look
unpainted where the mouse pointer covers the
pixel being painted. Zoom out and in again to
see the entire pixel painted correctly.
Powerpoint** 3.0
----------------
If you are displaying the DROPBXV.PPT and
GRIDWRVK.PPT demo slides in 640x480x256, you
might see small horizontal line corruption.
If you are using a WIN-OS/2 window, you might
get incorrect background color when viewing a
thumbnail of a template. This will not affect
the running of the application.
Video for Windows
-----------------
Run is a full-screen session.
If you configure video animation to run full-screen
in Video playback, Deselect Skip video frames if
behind, to eliminate any corruption of the video
during play.
WindowWorks**
-------------
Install in a WIN-OS/2 full-screen session.
Lotus Improv 2.0 for Windows
----------------------------

enhance mode, to install and configure
correctly.
DOS APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY
o Use OS/2 system utilities. DOS system
utilities might not recognize the extended
attributes associated with a file.
o OS/2 provides integral disk caching and
memory optimization functions. Use of the
equivalent functions that are provided with
MS-DOS 6.0 is not necessary and may produce
errors.
APPLICATION NOTES:

3. Rename the AUTOEXEC.BAT file FAX.BAT.
4. Rename the AUTOEXEC.FAX file AUTOEXEC.BAT.
5. Make a program object for the SatisFAXtion
program.
6. Change the value of the DOS_AUTOEXEC
setting for the object to FAX.BAT.
7. Save and exit the Settings notebook.
Microsoft** C/C++ 7.0 Linker
--------------------------
If you are using Microsoft C/C++ 7.0 Linker, set
the DPMI_DOS_API DOS setting to ENABLED.
OS/2 APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY
o Closing OS/2 applications that use the
hardware palette (typically picture viewers
or sample graphic applications)
occasionally causes a repaint problem on
the desktop. If the windows do not repaint
correctly, a refresh will restore the
desktop, but any windows that are opened or
moved will still have the problem.
Restarting the system is the only way to
completely correct this problem.
o If you are using Lotus 123G for OS/2 or Lotus
Freelance Graphics for OS/2, you need to run
the following utility prior to using these
products with OS/2 2.1.
1. Change to the appropriate Lotus
directory that contains the application.
For example, type
CD \123G
2. Backup the LD2CORE.DLL file. For
example, type
COPY LD2CORE.DLL LD2CORE.BAK
3. Run the update program. Type,
LD2FIX
The Lotus program is now updated. You need to
shutdown and restart your system for these changes
to take effect.
APPLICATION NOTES:

following line to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
SET TEMP=C:\
Animation Works** 1.0
---------------------
Run in 640x480 resolution.
IconAuthor** 4.0
----------------
If you are running the demo for this program,
you must exit and reenter the WIN-OS/2 session
before running the actual application.
Linkway** Live 1.0 (Tool Series)
--------------------------------
Use the following DOS setting to make the demo
run properly:
DOS_RMSIZE=576
MIDI
----
Make sure that the MIDI mapper (in the Control
Panel) is properly set to the sound adapter.
Nautilus** 1.6 and 1.76
-----------------------
Run in a WIN-OS/2 full-screen session.
NETWORK
o The Workplace Shell login is not compatible
with NetWare** 4.0 Directory Services and
should be disabled unless you are using the
NetWare 4.0 Bindery Compatibility mode. To
disable the login:
1. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file.
2. Remove the CONNECTIONS option from SET
AUTOSTART.
3. Save and exit the CONFIG.SYS file.
4. Restart the system to activate the
changes.
o If you are using the NetWare Requester
version 2.01, (ships with NetWare 4.0) but
have no NetWare 4.0 servers, you can
increase the speed of the login process by
turning the Directory Services off. To
turn the services off:
1. Edit NET.CFG file in the root directory
of the boot drive.
2. Add Directory Services Off to the file.
3. Save and exit the file.
o Novell** NetWare Requester 2.0 and 2.01
programs NMPIPE.SYS, NPSERVER.SYS, and
NPDAEMON.EXE require the following
information to be added to the OS2VER file.
To add this information to the file:
1. At an OS/2 command prompt, type: ATTRIB
-h -r -s OS2VER
2. Edit the OS2VER file in the root
directory of the boot drive.
3. Type the following information in the
file:
20=NMPIPE.SYS
20=NPSERVER.SYS
20=NPDAEMON.EXE
4. Save and exit the file.
5. Type ATTRIB +h +r +s OS2VER
o If you are using FFST/2 (for example, if
you enable the FFST/2 feature when
installing Communications Manager/2 or Data
Base Manager/2), REM out the
"RUN=...\EPW.EXE" statement in your
CONFIG.SYS file. To utilize FFST/2
technology, add a "DETACH EPW.EXE" as the
first statement in your STARTUP.CMD file.
ADVANCED POWER MANAGEMENT
The OS/2 2.1 APM support relies on the
power status information returned from the
BIOS on your laptop. You might notice
incorrect battery life or status within the
power icon on your laptop. If this occurs,
rely on the LEDs on your laptop for
accurate power status information.
o Turning the APM setting to OFF also turns
off the BIOS power management. If you want
to turn off the APM but not the BIOS power
management, place REM before the APM device
driver statement in your CONFIG.SYS file,
then restart your system to invoke the
change.
REM DEVICE=C:\OS2\APM.SYS
DISPLAY ADAPTERS (IMAGE, SVGA, XGA, 8514)
o The OS/2 operating system will experience
video problems similar to those observed in
a DOS environment. These problems are due
to the failure of a BIOS video mode set.
An example of this problem is the video
image on an ALR** Modular PS with a
Flexview** 2x SVGA display fails to occupy
the entire screen in 1024 x 768 mode.
o If you are using an LCD display and have
difficulty locating the mouse pointer on
the screen, you can increase the size of
the pointer if you are using 640x480
resolution. To change the size of the
pointer (if you have REXX installed):
1. Use an editor to create a file called
LARGE.CMD.
2. Add the following information to the
file.
/* LARGE.CMD Set VGA pointers to large */
/* (c) Copyright IBM Corp. 1992, All rights reserved */
call RxFuncAdd "SysIni", "RexxUtil", "SysIni"
call SysIni "USER", "PM_IBMVGA", "CURSOR_SIZE", "1",
say Result
exit
3. Save and exit the file.
4. At an OS/2 command prompt, type "LARGE"
and press Enter.
This program will increase the size of the
cursor. To force a standard size pointer,
replace the "1" in the program with a "2".
To let the system select the size of the
pointer, replace the "1" in the program
with a "0".
o Users of the NCR** Safari notebook, SSL/25,
should modify the following information in
the CONFIG.SYS file on their startup drive
to allow video register shadowing to be
processed correctly in OS/2 2.1:
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VVGA.SYS
to
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VSVGA.SYS
o Systems with Image Adapters running in
dual-display modes will lose DOS window
support after a DOS full-screen or OS/2
full-screen session has been invoked. The
system must be restarted to reinstate the
DOS window environment. The problem can be
avoided by turning off the dual display
mode under the Image Adapter setup.
SVGA CONSIDERATIONS
o The Western Digital** 90C31 SVGA chipset
will have video problems when Windows 2.x
applications are run.
o If you are using a ZEOS** system with
Speedstar** VGA, you must run the VMODE
utility supplied with the system to
configure the display during the display
driver installation.
o Zenith Data Systems** with Headland HT208
do not support high resolution modes even
though you can successfully set these modes
and install high resolution drivers. If a
high resolution mode is used, a white
half-screen will be displayed. To correct
this problem, use DSPINSTL to install VGA.
o If you have a Sigma Legend** display
adapter you might experience minor video
corruption on the desktop when you switch
between the desktop and DOS if they are
running in different modes. This can be
corrected by using a DOS utility to set the
DOS session to the same mode as the
desktop.
XGA CONSIDERATIONS
o If an XGA-2 adapter is installed, and you
have modified the default display type in
the System Settings notebook (page 2),
after you restart the system it will
display the Workplace Shell* in one
resolution and WIN-OS/2 in a different
resolution. To change the resolution for
the Workplace Shell:
1. Open OS/2 System.
2. Open System Setup.
3. Open System.
4. Select a 640x480xn resolution.
5. Shutdown and restart the system.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 3.
7. Select the desired resolution.
8. Shutdown and restart the system.
The Workplace Shell and WIN-OS/2 will now
display in the same resolution.
o If you are using a dual display system with
XGA as the primary display and VGA as the
secondary display, you might see some minor
corruption when the XGA display is set to a
resolution with 65536 colors. This
corruption will be on the display that does
not have focus and will not interfere with
the operation of the system.
o On dual display configurations with XGA-2
as the primary display and VGA as the
secondary display, the DOS full-screen
session might be corrupted if a Windows**
application is started in a window session.
To recover from this situation, shutdown
and restart the system.
o If you are using Dual Boot with an XGA-2
adapter, you must modify the CONFIG.DOS
file:
1. Edit the \OS2\SYSTEM\CONFIG.DOS file.
2. Locate the line
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM 2048
X=nnnn-nnnn
3. Change nnnn-nnnn to C000-CFFF.
4. Save and exit the file.
o On IBM P75 systems, there might be some
corruption on the screen whenever several
icons are selected and moved together.
This corruption can be eliminated by
clicking mouse button 2 to bring up the
pop-up menu; then selecting Sort.
o An IBM P75 system with an external monitor
attached might only have the 640x480x16
resolution selection on the the System
Settings Screen page. If the external
monitor is capable of displaying higher
resolutions, use the P75 reference diskette
to disable the built-in plasma display.
o If you are using an XGA system, the hash
lines around the icons of open applications
might change color unexpectedly. This does
not interfere with the operation of the
system.
o If you are using an XGA system, extra lines
might appear on the face of the OS/2 System
Clock between the quarter (:15) and half
(:30) hour. These lines do not interfere
with the operation of the clock.
8514 CONSIDERATIONS
o If you are using the 1MB version of an
ATI** Graphics Ultra** Pro adapter, the VGA
memory must be set to SHARED to work
properly with the OS/2 8514 display driver.
This might cause some DOS applications
running in the background to corrupt the
desktop. To correct this problem, you must
upgrade to the 2MB version of the Graphics
Ultra Pro and set the VGA memory to 256K or
greater.
NOTE: In the "OS/2 Installation Guide", it
states that the ATI Graphics Ultra Pro must
be configured to IBM DEFAULT for the
640x480 display type. This setting might
be referred to as 60Hz rather than IBM
DEFAULT.
o If you are using a system with an 8514
adapter with Windows applications running
in a WIN-OS/2 window session in separate
VDMs, video corruption might occur in
bitmaps when clipping between applications.
o After you start a WIN-OS/2 window session,
256 color bitmaps might become discolored
due to the sharing of the 256 color
palette. This should not affect the
running of the applications.
o Selecting windows in Mathematica might not
bring focus to the proper window.
AUDIO ADAPTERS
Audio support in WIN-OS/2 and DOS sessions is
dependent on installed drivers. You should
install the audio adapter driver that came with
your audio adapter. When installing audio
support for WIN-OS/2, be sure to install both
DOS and Windows device drivers. Configure
both drivers to use the same interrupt level and
DMA channel.
o The following drivers are available with
the Audio Capture and Playback Adapter*
(ACPA):
- ACPADD.SYS
- ACPADD2.SYS
- ACPAK12.SYS
- ACPA.DRV
The latest updates are available on the IBM
Bulletin Board Service.
o MMPM/2 installs ACPA support for OS/2 only,
not WIN-OS/2 or DOS.
There are two ways to get DOS ACPA support
in DOS sessions:
1. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file.
2. Add DEVICE=C:\ACPAK12.SYS
3. Save and exit the CONFIG.SYS file.
4. Copy the ACPAK12.SYS file to the C:\
directory.
5. Restart the system to activate the
changes.
Or
1. Point to the DOS full-screen or window
object.
2. Click mouse button 2.
3. Select the arrow to the right of Open.
4. Select Settings.
5. Select the Session tab.
6. Select DOS Settings.
7. Select DOS_DEVICE.
8. Type C:\ACPAK12.SYS in the Value field.
9. Select Save.
10. Double-click on the title-bar icon to
close the notebook.
11. Copy the ACPAK12.SYS file to the C:\
directory.
To install WIN-OS/2 ACPA support:
1. Access the Control Panel in WIN-OS/2
Main.
2. Select Drivers.
3. Select Add.
4. Select Unlisted or Updated Drivers.
5. Select OK.
6. Insert the diskette containing the ACPA
driver into drive A.
7. Type A:
8. Select OK.
9. When the next menu level appears,
select the M-Audio sound driver.
o MMPM/2 installs Sound Blaster** support for
OS/2 only, not WIN-OS/2 or DOS.
o To add WIN-OS/2 Sound Blaster support:
1. Install the DOS device driver following
the instructions that came with the
adapter. Use an OS/2 DOS session for
the install.
2. Install the Windows driver.
NOTE: Be sure to use the same I/O
address, interrupt, and DMA settings
used during install of the DOS drivers.
PRINTERS
o If you are using the HP** LaserJet**
printer driver, some complex images might
not print correctly when LaserJet
performance options are enabled. If you
experience incorrect output or degraded
printer performance, return the performance
options to the disabled state. To change
the performance options:
1. Point to the printer object.
2. Click mouse button 2.
3. Select the arrow to the right of Open.
4. Select Settings.
5. Select the Printer Drivers tab.
6. Select Job properties.
7. Change the performance options to their
default settings.
8. Double-click on the title-bar icon to
close the notebook.
o If you experience problems while
printing bitmaps from an application
while using the PostScript printer
driver, Select the Printer-specific
format option on the Queue options page
in the Settings notebook of your
printer object.
o The OS/2 printer drivers on the OS/2 2.1
printer driver diskettes are stored in a
packed format that is not compatible with
OS/2 1.3 or 2.0. To install one of the
OS/2 2.1 printer drivers on a system with
OS/2 1.3 or 2.0 installed, you must first
unpack the driver on a system that has OS/2
2.1 installed. You do not have to complete
these steps to install a printer driver on
a system that already has OS/2 2.1
installed.
NOTE: Do not install the new 32-bit
PostScript driver (PSCRIPT.DR_) that came
with OS/2 2.1 on a system with OS/2 1.3 or
2.0 installed. It is not compatible with
these versions of OS/2. While testing is
continuing, current compatibility
information about tested systems is
available through your dealer, Marketing
Representative, CompuServe, IBM National
Support Center Bulletin Board System (NSC
BBS), and IBMLink.
To unpack a printer driver for use on a
OS/2 1.3 or OS/2 2.0 system, complete the
following steps on your system that has
OS/2 2.1 installed.
1. Open an OS/2 command prompt.
2. Type:
MD X:\DRIVER
Where X is a drive on your system.
3. Insert into drive A the OS/2 2.1
printer driver diskette that contains
the printer driver you want to install.
The printer driver names end in a "_".
