I hate to tell you this, Jim, but I'm afraid the problem
isn't with chkdsk, but with the stupidity of Adaptec, and
I'm sorry to say you're very likely facing a complete
reinstall of your data onto all your partitions
Unfortunately -- and I'm fuzzy on the details, since it's
been a while, and since I have since enabled translation for
drives > 1 gig -- the fixpacked version of the AIC drivers
will not allow for untranslated drives (else they simply
default to them, I cn't recall), hence your filesystem
errors.  Chkdsking after this installation, and fixing the
problems I believe only makes them worse.  Still it might be
possible but it's worth trying to fix them.

You need to revert back to the old Adaptec driver -- it'll
work fine under later FPs -- and see if you can rescue your
HD.

I haven't had any problems since this one with Adaptec but
others have, and these -- along with the Incredible Growing
Driver Size -- have probably put me off Adaptec forever.

Subj: Change font in MS Mail on OS/2 Warp 4

From: [e-mail]

I need a PROVEN solution to changing the font in Win3x applications,
such as MS Mail 3.5 and FileManager, so my users can see larger size
text in extreme resolutions,such as 1280 x something-or-other.

We have in our system.ini (c:\os2\mdos\winos2\):
fonts.fon=vgasys.fon
fixedfon.fon=vgafix.fon
oemfonts.fon=vgaoem.fon

I tried changing these settings, but then the programs wouldn't start.

These are the only fon files in the system folder
(c:\os2\mdos\winos2\system\):
arialb    coure    dialog    modern
msmail3        roman    script
serife    smalle    sserife    symbole
timesb    vga850    vga860    vga861
vga863    vga865    vgafix    vgaoem
vgasys

Tried adding SystemFont=<font.fon> in win.ini and succeeded in changing
the font for the title bar and menu, not the displayed messages or
files/folders.

Control Panel does not have any applets that I can determine will do
anything for me.

Please help me help my users.  Thanks.

Subj: Re: How do I fix bad HPFS partition?

From: "Chris Stumpf" <[e-mail]>

I had something like this happen to me.  I lost an hpfs partition and chkdsk
would not fix it.  I eventually ended up trying of all thing DriveImage Pro
from PowerQuest.  It was able to see the data on the missing partition and I
just had it transfer it to another drive.  I then fdisked the bad partition,
reformated with a /l and then copied the data back via the wps.  The only
thing I lost was some long file/dir names due to a bit of ea corruption, but
I was able to fix that easily.  I know that DriveImage is not supposed to be
a data recovery tool, but it does work for the task surprisingly well.

much about OS/2 I'm having a problem.
from the OS/2 window I do format d: it ask for the name of the hd
I put in LYN_A_HPFS
is asks all info will be lost proceed  y/n
hit Y and it tells me this disk can not be formatted.
How the heck can I get rid of all the old junk from my hard drives and

Subj: Re: can't format

From: "OS/2 Fan" <[e-mail]>

Which is your boot drive?  Where is the swap file, swapper.dat?  Are
there any files in use on the partition?  Before you format anything,
you may want to do a
zip -rS$ yourfile.zip *
or something to that effect (check syntax) from the root dir of your
partition to another partition or to a tape or CD, it'll save your
stuff for you just in case you decide you need some of it.  Then boot
to floppies; if you want to install Warp3 fresh anyway, make sure you
know everythinb about all the hardware, and that the HD isn't too big
for stock Warp 3 without updated IDE support to handle, and then
select the advanced installation.  It'll ask you which partition to
install on and give you the option of formatting FAT or HPFS.  Good
luck.

Subj: Warp 3 Red Spine - lockup!

From: [e-mail] (Chaps)

Hello all.

I just bought a bunch of components and built myself a 486DX50 (Not DX2
system).  I've installed DOS 6.20 on the system.  I tried installing Warp 3
red
spine (floppy install) but as the first disk (after the boot disk) loads up
the
EASY/ADVANCED INSTALL screen the system locks up.

Now, then I got the motherboard home, I found the battery apparently dead.
Each time DOS loads I have to hit enter on the date.  Could this be the reason

OS/2 is locking up?

I know awhile back I heard mention that some motherboards/BIOS were not very
OS/2 friendly.  My BIOS is as follows:

Pheonix UM4981 AIO Ver 1.5 06-20-1995
CPU = 486 DX 50 MHz

640 System RAM
7168K Extended RAM (72 pin)
128K Cache SRAM

Thank you

From: [e-mail]

Hello,

I have a Lexmark 5000 and am generally happy with it  but when it is
printing a fair sized job the CPU metre goes up to 100% and stays
there till the job is complete.   This seems worse in Staroffice but
that is just an impression I have.

 Is this typical of this or any inkjet and if now what is the setting
that fixes this?

Thank you

...Not knowing the size of the attached harddrive, nor hardware mix...

My frist guess would be; check all the setups on the cards and motherboard,
making sure that there are no PORT or IRQ conflicts. Remove as much from the
computer as you can to make the install process as easy as possible. That is
to say, remove the sound card, lan, etc until you have a "vanilla" hardware
mix... "vanilla" meaning minimum hardware configuration. Whatever you pull out
now, can be easily installed later on, after your particular problem is ironed
out.

Try the install again. From my experience, OS/2 is very Frankenstien-hardware
friendly, but does not share resources... one iota... I've built reliable
computers with the clone-of-all-clone hardware mixes, cards and motherboards
with not a single bit of printing or ID of any kind. You can to. :')

Let me know how you make out...

I jumped the gun a little folks.  After a little more expermentation I found
that the fault lay with the hard drive.  The boot sector of the drive was
trashed.  Someone had a base install of DOS 6.20 on. (command.com) but when I
used a couple of diagnostic tools I discovered the 210MB used drive I bought
was a piece of junk.  (Always hated Western Digital)

What size harddrive are you attempting to install on? You may need an updated
driver that allows large harddrives.

From: "Graham C. Norris" <[e-mail]>

I'm pretty sure this is a software based printer like my 5700: it has no
processing capability of its own, which is why it, like many ink-jet
printers, is cheap. The only way to reduce the CPU usage is to reduce
the resolution and/or number of colours with which you are printing.

Boot the machine from the Warp 3 install disks, when you get to
the fist installation screen, press F3 for a command prompt.

At the prompt, use the FDISK program and delete all partitions
on the drive, save and exit, after the mandatory reboot, get a
command prompt, use FDISK to set up your partitions, making
one of the new partitions installable (the C: partition)
reboot again, and proceed with the installation.

This assumes that you are not interested in retaining any
of the data in the current partitions.

Check to make sure the "Template" check box is "ticked"

Make sure the "Workgroup" on the Win 95 machine is the
same as the "Domain" on the OS/2 machine.

Use the NETBIOS/NETBEUI protocol on both machines.

Don't expect to see the long file names on the Win 95 machine
from the OS/2 machine, you will only see the truncated file names.

No, Windows 95 will not allow you to access a shared modem on
another machine and will not allow you to share a modem on
the Windows 95 machine. (or a regular COM port either).

Try using the /IRQ switch on the print01.sys device line. This
will use hardware interrupts on the printer port rather than
polling. Hardware interrupts usually are more efficient.

Make sure nothing else is using IRQ 7 when you do this.

Graham,

That is what I thought.  If I set it up on the kids computer parallel

Add some printer RAM, increase PRINTMONBUF a bit (I use 1500,134,134) and
you shouldn't have any problem.

There's not really a comparison possible. The Optra Color 40 uses either
PCL5 or PS as printer language, and is more dependent on the printer
driver. Both IBM and Lexmark continue to develop both printer drivers, so
it appears to be a good choice.

In my experience you'll get a hit on both of them. I don't understand
why, but it could be because one (mine) is OS/2 and the other is Win98.
The hit on the latter produces some whining because it slows games down!

You might also consider in addition to the other good
suggestions here, downloading and installing the
bidirectional printer port driver for OS/2 -- that is, if
your motherboard has a bidirectional port, and you've got
the right printer cable (they're more expensive).  However,
the install process is a bit counterintuitive and not at all
slick, so be forewarned.  And while it won't reduce the
processing time for the image, it will move the data to the
printer faster.

Blanker handles it all. Go into the setup screen and the page with the

before powering down monitor. Graphics adapter is VGA (XGA). My power down

since if you hit this combination twice it reboots OS/2! (same as

Check it out by hitting Ctrl-Alt-Shift-F5 and see if it works manually.

Good thought, I do this the instant I install OS/2 and tend to assume it
was always like it later! BTW, I've seen claims that using polling is
quicker, but /IRQ has always been faster for me - when the polling first
turned up in a fixpak it took a while to figure out what had gone wrong.
<OFF-TOPIC> I wish that when IBM introduce new features in a fixpak
they'd default them off: the pesky drive shutdown code recently added to
IBM1S506.ADD prevents my machine shutting down unless I override it with
/!SHUTDOWN. </OFF-TOPIC>

And here's some step-by-step tips (from Ted Miller, I
believe).  It's all I know!

- Set the parallel port to ECP in CMOS
- install the bidi driver per instructions in the readme file
- Right click on your printer object and choose the "Output
  Port" tab in the dialogue window
- Click on the "Update Port Driver" button (your spooler will
  have to be disabled)
- In the dialogue window indicate the directory where the
  bidi install files are (the prompt is for A:\)
- Then right click on LPT1 and click on properties.
- click on the "Advanced" button
- select ECP as your bidirectional mode
- re-enable the spooler

Subj: Warp Connect/Netscape install problems

From: Satnam Singh <[e-mail]>

After using Warp 3 Red spine for years, I've wiped my partition and
installed Warp Connect Blue spine (learned the hard way about having a
backup).  Got the hang of the changes to drivers for installing on large
hard disks, etc., and installed fixpack 40.  Got video drivers, sound
drivers going.  Installed Netscape 4.61 for OS/2 and Feature Installer
1.2.5, in preparation for Java 1.1.8 (which has not been installed
yet).  Currently, I'm researching the various TCP/IP and MPTS fixpacks
I'll need.  I have no network card, but I though it would be nice to get
TCP/IP 3.0 (I used to run 2.0).

After a couple of days of install, download, install, download, I still
have several problems:

1. Netscape/TCP/IP setup and email access.
TCPDial.exe gives me a dialog box with "account" and "User ID" marked as
being missing from my current profile.  Clicking okay leaves an
invisible window (it shows up in the window list, but can't be viewed.
I have been able to make a connection with dialer.exe.  I can access
websites and newsgroups, but for email and sometimes newsgroup messages,
the heading shows up but now message.  My ISP IBM Global, now ATT
Global.  Any ideas on getting TCPDial.exe to work?  Could it be related
to MPTS and TCP/IP fixpacks yet to be installed?

2. MPTS and TCP/IP fixpacks?
For the latest stack, IBM states on the OS/2 TCP/IP V3.x Stack RSU Page
the following are the requirements for installing this update: "MPTS
FixPak WR08210.  Note: WR08210 has been superceded by MPTS FixPak
WRx8421. If you decide not to install WRx8421 at this time, you may
proceed with this update to install the latest V3.x stack."  Does that
mean if 8210 is installed 8421 is not required (otherwise, there is no
"requirement")?

Then they state, "If you've installed . . . CSD WR08410 or MPTS FixPak
WRx8421, you must install the latest V4 TCP/IP stack instead of the
latest V3.x stack."

At ps.softwware.ibm.com, they state WR08423 (called "comverged refresh")
supercedes 8421.   I guess "converged" refers to combining the V3.x and
V4 stack?  I am right to conclude I should install WR08423 (and another
non cumulative fixpack after it, WR08424) then V4 stack?  Where does
that leave me, with MPTS V5?, TCP/IP V4?, or just TCP/IP V3 with stack
V4?

3. WinOS2 Can't find file "network.drv"
Everytime I open a WinOS2 session, I get a dialog box stating this.  Hit
ok and I'm fine.  I can't find reference to this file in the win.ini,
system.ini, autoexec.bat nor config.sys files for does a search find
this file on my hd.  Any ideas what this means, and how to get rid of
it?

4. "Dos error:23"
When I try to open a full screen WinOS2, after the "network.drv"
message, I get a "Dos error:23" message.  Hitting OK sends me back to
OS/2, so I have no Win full screen capability.  It appears the print
manager icon appears just before the message; I don't know if this is
related, or if its something that loads just before the problem.  Any

I have an IBM Thinkpad 755cd, internal floppy + cd-rom.
Using Win 3.1 + Os2 Ver.3 red.
Want to install my Warp 4,(3 disks + cd-rom disk)
Do I need to buy an external floppy or is there a work around?

Help appreciated

Subj: Re: BootManager vs. LILO

From: "Capt. Nemo" <[e-mail]>

I just struggled through this myself, the mini how to in Linux is wrong
by telling you to delete the partitions and set up with lilo.
This is what i did:
Set up partitions with fdisk from os/2 only. you may have to change the
partition type with linux fdisk at this point, write the changes to disk.
but DON'T create or change the size of the partitions or os/2 will not
see them. (something about where it sets boundries) then go back in to
the linux setup to format all the partiions you created i.e /, /usr,
/home, /tmp Then as you were attempting, put lilo on the root disk not
the MBR this will let boot manager dump you off to lilo and will start
linux. (i happen to like using boot manager myself, it looks nicer)
other considerations  may be to have Stupid NT installed first. and not
have BM occupy hd0.cyl0
i hope this helps if it isn't clear enough i will try to do a better post
next. right now i need my coffee.

The problem you are having is:

Warp 3 with Bonus Pack does not have the networking software
included in the package.

Warp 3 Connect with Bonus Pack has the networking software.

The networking software consists of

MPTS (Multi Protocol Transport Services which includes
 the network protocol drivers and a selection of network
card drivers)

and

Network File and Print Client (which includes the file
system drivers that allow you to share disk drives,
printers and com ports on the machine or to access
disk drive shares and printer shares on other machines).

If you do not have the "Warp 3 Connect" version you will
have to either obtain that version or Warp 4 (which includes
alll the networking software).

I read this message with some trepidation,  as I spent a large part of last
night installing Warp 4 on
an Athlon 700 on the Gigabyte 71X motherboard.  As this was something
we'd never put together before, we started in a test setup, using a
cheap  32 MB memory module to make sure everything worked OK before we
tried (and fried!) an expensive 256MB module.  The installation went
fine (better than some recent Pentium III installs, actually).  Then, we
decided to shut down and put in the big memory chip.

The results were pretty distressing.  With the CMOS BIOS flag set to
Non-OS2 operating system (that flag having to do with over 64MB of
memory), slightly over 64 MB of memory were detected; with the CMOS BIOS
flag set to OS2 operating system, only about 16MB of memory was
detected!! -- just as you described in your post.
I went back and redid the install, with the 256MB module in
place, and got exactly the same results.  Finally, thinking we might have
a hardware problem, we wiped everything and installed Win98; then all
256MBytes were detected.

So, where do I go from here to start trying to resolve this?  This
machine has loads of stuff installed including:

    Adaptec SCSI 2940UW
    Matrox 200G AGP with 16MB of memory
    3Com 509B PCI
    AOpen's PCI sound card (with Crystal chipset)

I've seen some discussion in newsgroups about AGP possibly being a
problem; we popped out the Matrox and put in a vanilla AOpen VGA card;
no change in behavior (although I *didn't* try a reinstall).

The Gigbyte motherboard is all AMD Irongate; both North and South
bridges; the BIOS is Award v1.0 for the 71X motherboard.

So, it's not just a VIA thing, as I think your message implied.
What I'm less clear about is what, if anything, I can do about it.
Is this really somthing that we have to rely on BIOS makers to fix,
or is there something that can be done using settings/flags in the
CONFIG.SYS?

Alternatively, can you point me to a way to get a better understanding
of what's going wrong?

Thanks very much, Captain.  It did work out after all.  I actually
reinstalled Linux at this point, since my 6.1 CD came in teh mail.  I
recommend it, it's much more slick than 5.2, however, the new GUI
installation bombed on my system, I used the old-style text

OK guys thanks for the tips - I've got the original Adaptec stuff so
restoring the drivers should not be a problem.  Sometime - a wet
winter weekend I expect - the machine will be wiped and everything
re-installed - I'll make sure that translation is enabled this time
:-)

So if Adaptec is no longer the flavour for OS/2 what is the
recommendation for SCSI adaptors?

They certainly are, at least if you choose to purchase them as separate
components.

All five of my main systems here have Adaptec cards, but I've purchased
them all as part of a complete system package, so the card price really
wasn't a factor.

The reason might be, that warp3 had no network-software embedded, whereas Warp

and Warp4 both have that software embedded.

From: "Graham C. Norris" <[e-mail]>

There's no way to tell OS/2 to detect memory. You need to report this
problem to Gigabyte. As this problem seems to be independant of
motherboard, it may not be a BIOS issue, it could lie in AMD's chipset.
I suggest you also report the problem to AMD.

The OS/2 memory setting is obsolete and shouldn't be there on new
hardware. It was fixed in OS/2 itself years ago. I'm sure M$ like it
still being there however, it adds ammunition to their FUD machine.

I don't like the way IBM handles these upgrades, it's far to complicated

    Any using a supported Symbios Logic chipset (ie. ASUS SC-875 uses
the Symbios 53c875 chipset).  Only chipset that does not have a driver
from them that I know of is their 53c416 line.  Another decent/cheap pick
is a supported Initio SCSI card (www.initio.com).

Subj: Re: multiple isp

From: Chris Hellwig <[e-mail]>

Hi,

I use InJoy for that. InJoy sets the correct nameserver and it
calls *.cmd files at several points : before dialing, after connecting,
after succesfull login.... I wrote a *.cmd file to copy the isp
smtp-server
as 'myMailServer' to resolv2, which lets me use the same configuration
of
mail and news reader.

I think DoIP has not such a hook. But you could create different
resolv2.*isp
- files and copy them before calling DoIP  to resolv2 (using a *.cmd
file with
your isp as parameter)

Bye
  Chris

I seem to have this problem. Do you just add this as a parameter to the

Well, I mailed Gigabyte-Taiwan this weekend. I'll wait a week for them to
produce an answer.
But in the end, I think we need to talk to the likes of AMI & Award to sort
this out.
From what I gather, the only thing we all have in common is an AGP bus.
Motherboard Vendor or chipset does not matter (e.g. Super7, Athlon,
Slot1,... or Ali,Via,Sis...).
On the other hand, IBM may well be producing/have the answer already.
I mean: there must be an Aurora (Warp Server 4.5 for eBusiness) system out
there running with an AGP video card and more than 64MB, right ?
Or maybe Aurora has been fixed, but Merlin (Warp 4.0) hasn't (yet?).

Warning ! What follows has nothing to do with the previous.
[Start RANT]
MickeySoft is battling against Linux now. However it gives indeed a bad
impression on people who setup their BIOS. It looks like OS/2 needs help to
use more than 64MB, adding to the 'OS/2 is dead' mantra. (Like running a
clone of a certain OS, created in the early seventies, isn't waking the
dead !)
Ah well, one can only rant ;-)
[Disclaimer: I know nothing about Linux, I have never used it, and I just
happen to like object oriented desktops (as found in OS/2, BeOS, etc).
However I do use a bunch of 'ported' linux programs, of which Xfree86 is
the greatest, which can be of course a bad example of Linux desktops (I run
the fwm window manager)]
Please don't pick on me for being too stupid to understand Linux/Unix :-(
And the EMX library is the best thing ever to happen to OS/2 (after JAVA) !
Long live Open Source ! Long live Open Standards ! Long Live OS/2 !

If you have enough space on another partition, you can XCOPY the whole
CDROM or (if short of space) just the OS2IMAGE subdirectory from the
CDROM to it and install from there. Also copy the OS2SE20.SRC file from
the root directory of the CDROM to the root directory of that drive. If
you only copied the OS2IMAGE subdirectory tree, don't try to install any
networking or Bonus Pak stuff initially. Wait until you have the base OS
installed and can reboot and use the CDROM drive before using the
Selective Install functions to add networking and features. (Look in
OS/2 System --> System Setup --> Install/Remove.)

Or if you are a masochist, you can make all the diskettes and install
from floppy... you'll need 50 or so just for the base install.

Subj: Memory Detection Glitches

From: "Frank Field" <[e-mail]>

So, I've been bitten by what I am told is a BIOS bug; I cannot get
OS/2 to detect all 256megs on my new Gigabyte 71X board.  It
only finds about 64 meg or 16 meg, depending on how the CMOS
BIOS flag for >64MB handling is set (OS/2 or not).

Here's the question:  what's really going on?  The BIOS detects
all 256mb during the POST and Win98 seems to see it all as well.
What is going wrong, exactly?  And is it really something that only
Award/Gigbyte can fix?  Or can I do something with the way in
which the system boots that will help?

I don't need a complete explanation; even a couple of pointers to
resources I can read myself would be a big help, since I'm sure that
I'm going to have to explain myself to Gigabyte or my vendor more
than once.

Thanks.

Subj: Warp Server not able to get available memory

From: [e-mail]

We have a NetFinity 3000 with 528 MB memory running Warp Server 4.0 and
DB2 Universal Database 5.2, Fixpack 11.  We've been unable to get DB2
to use large amounts of this memory for bufferpools.  If I request more
than a trivial amount of memory, DB2 doesn't get the memory, and drops
back to very low bufferpool sizes (We determined this by using a memory
monitoring tool and looking at db2diag.log).

When we installed Warp 4.0 workstation on the same PC with the same
database version, the problem went away and it all worked fine.

Is there a known problem with Warp Server making large (e.g., > 64 MB)
of memory available to programs, such as DB2?

Subj: (1/2) LONG as SYLEVEL included re FP12 and or  DD1 and FASTBACK PLUS

From: nospam@null (Richard A Crane)

Has anyone else had problems with the above and FBPlus?
I have a Pentium 75 on a "HOT-541" MB with Award Bios (sorry version number I
can't remember 1.03 maybe) 128 RAM, 2x IDE Drives (1 Gb each 1 Quantum IDE
primary master  1 Maxtor IDE Primary slave), Flashpoint SCSI LW with 3.2 Gb
Quantum ID 0 (and Seagate TAPESTOR 8000 tape unit ID 4), Matsushita CR- 585-B

IDE CD on IDE secondary as Master Usually booted from "F drive" on the SCSI
Disc
with FPak 9 (I believe syslevel confuses me!!).
Neither it nor my recent "clean" install (plus only Fbplus) of OS/2 on a Disc
1
primary partition (C:) will let me successfully boot- C: drive will take FP12
and boot without FBPLUS scsi driver(fbscsi.sys).
I attach my syslevel output (from a currently operating system!) and
config.sys
file in the hope that a magician likeTrevor H or Sam D will deem to reply:).

I've been lurking here a while:)

    Just something to remember - there is a big difference between WARP
Server v4 and WARP client v4.  The former is actually based on the WARP
v3 client codebase.

    Do you have the latest WARP Server v4 fixpak installed?

The most likely thing is the disk cache allocated by HPFS386.

The largest cache size used by HPFS (which is what is running
on the Warp 4 client) is 2 Mbyte. HPFS386 will allocated a much
larger default cache. Take a look at the HPFS386.INI (?) and
see what the max cache size is set to. (I think that's where it
is but I do not have HPFS386 installed on my server WSeB)

It just seems very silly and redundant to me, not to mention inelegant.
I suppose I could, but I've got a perfectly good serial mouse which
uses system resources exactly the way I like, without needing any such
reconfiguring.

In any case, I don't want to buy another mouse, it seems wasteful.

  How can I get rid of this obnoxious popup.  The system doesn't have a

Subj: Re: Warp Server not able to get available memory

From: [e-mail]

Thanks for the quick response, Brad.  We have installed all the latest
fixpacks; even lived through inserting 18 diskettes for one of them.

I'm vaguely aware of the Warp Server v4 vs. Warp Client v4 codebase
differences.  I have to stop myself from referring to Warp Server v4 as
version 3; it calls itself v4, but it looks and acts like v3 ;-).  I
suspect that may be the source of the problem: that something was fixed
for Warp 4 workstation, but isn't in the Warp Server code.

For our in-house machines, we're working around the problem by
installing Warp 4 workstation on the database server.  But we HAVE to
get it working under Warp Server at our customer sites, for lots of
reasons.

Any suggestions?  Were there any fixes in Warp workstation that
addressed this?  Is there any change in how Warp Server works that it
won't give an application very much memory unless you configure it a
certain way?

You can register by phone too.

Or.....

Best thing is to deinstall ART (the Axtive Registration Tool).

Open \OS2\INSTALL\Installed Features\Feature Install Base    (do this
via the Drives object)

Check the ART - Inventory box

Press the Uninstall button

reboot as requested

It will all be gone - cleanly - even ALL of the relevant files.

 Be sure you're using unzip.exe version 5.32 (from archive

I'm not a Lan Server expert, but I found this a bit back and maybe it is an
option. If not it would allow you to down to the Warp 3 base.

the boot manager got wiped out b/c now the drive has 1 meg more free space

info. I thought if I just got a working OS/2 boot disk I could run the

and re image to save all of my data, but I am stuck right now b/c I can't
boot into OS/2 to do anything. HELP

Boot from the WSeB floppies, and hit F3 to get to the CLI. Use LVM.EXE to
recreate the partitions.

This is a prob which happens with WSeB, as partitions must eventually be
re-created with LVM or be lost.

Subj: How to get install to use different video mode?

From: [e-mail]

I have a fixed frequency monitor. It is limited to 60-82Khz horiz and
50-149 Hz vertical.

OS/2's logo Warp for e-business displays fine. The desktop however
aparently does a direct programming to the video card, I think it is
about 53Khz horiz rate for the 640x480 mode. The dots are too slow and
the desktop is stretched out horizontally and wrapped around so there
are THREE columns of icons - not just the one on the left of the
screen. Trying to line up the right one of the 3 mice pointers to the
right icon is tough, but reading text in a window is undoable.

To contrast old Win95 uses some kind of softer access. I setup 81Khz x
81 Hz for 640x480 in a dos video flash program. After setting that
Win95 safe mode works fine with a full screen with the same size I just
set up.

Is there a way to get OS/2 Alt-F1 (F3) to access this preset mode?  Is
it something simple as adding to config.sys? or complex as modifying
the BHVGA driver with a bit editor?  Notes here or references to
someone who wrote some of the code in question will be appreciated.

Hello Valheru,

there are several cases, which will cause your problem.
To tell, which applies, you should provide a bit more information.

1.) Post you disk layout to this group.
    Provide an output from 'fdisk /query'
2.) Tell us, how you switch between the two OSes.
    If your are still using OS/2 Bootmanager to switch, then it is not wiped.

One wild guess: NT ( and Win98 ) can have several primary partitions active
concurrently - Warp can't. I've seen some cases where the boot via bootmanager
didn't update this info - it sometimes boots from one primary but assigns C:
to another. This situation will result in the message 'not able to control
HD'.

BootDisks:

I currently don't know the Warp server CD. But I assume there must be a
utility
on the CD to create bootdisks. It should be batch file located in the root.

OT:
guesswhere.com - sounds like challenge.
Am I right guessing that you are located in Florida using an ISP that recently
changed ownership and name ?

Subj: Lotus Notes v4.10 & OS/2 Warp 3 memory ???

From: "Jason Brown" <[e-mail]>

Hi,

I have upgraded an Os/2 box from 48->128 meg of RAM.  The Bios recognises
this, but Notes server says there is still only 48 megs of physical ram..

I'm not sure whether Notes is not reporting the memory correctly and is
using 128meg, or just not seeing the memory, or os/2 isn't seeing the
memory.

I seem to recall there is an option in some more modern BIOSes to speed up
access to memory >64M, although this old Apricot doesn't appear to have it.

Any ideas, or are there problems with OS/2 Warp 3 and lots of memory??

Thanks

Jason.

Doubtful, be careful and get a positive response before attempting it
at all.  At the very least you may have problems with an out-of-date
IDE driver on the Warp 3 floppies not being able to recognize large,
modern HDs.  Your best bet is to make boot disks from the CD instead,
like others posted.

From: "Valheru" <[e-mail]>

Yes I am in Florida. I don't use multiple oses in one computer. I have 3
computers, one with win98, one with winnt 4 and one with os2. Do I have to
use the os2 fdisk to do the query or can I use regular fdisk? The reason I
ask is that I cannot boot to os2 so none of my os2 prog's will work. Let me
know. Thanks for responding. Since I don't have any os2 disks, I looked
online and found someone with warp v3 for sale not far from where I live. My
thoughts are that since I have copied all of the files from the os2 HD to a
backup folder on my winnt machine, I could buy v3 of warp, format a new hard
drive, and then copy all of the files over to the newly formatted hd. Worst
case scenario I can find is that i will have to v3 vs e-business. However,
the two programs that I need from os2 don't require e-business anyway. Let
me know your thoughts.

I got rid of all versions on my HD but the one that came with OD 2.0
No go.  I'll keep playing around.  FC is working well for me right now.
Funny thing is that if I open it as a zipview it works.  If I do and
Autoextract  Extract to floder that works too.

Sounds like you're not loading the correct drivers for your hard-drive
controller! Are you running this off of IDE or SCSI?

Try booting from the install floppies, or when the white "OS/2" appears
in the upper left corner hit Alt-F1 and then select Command Prompt (F2
I believe). Then tedit you config.sys (tedit config.sys).

Hit Esc (to enter edit mode, F3 to exit) and look for any "basedev="
statements. Write them down, and post them with your hardware specs,
and we'll see if that is what is wrong.

Good luck!

Did you try going into System Setup, then clicking on

Hi,

we think, there must be a simple answer:
How can we deny read and write access to the
built in disk drive (A:)?
Removing the ibm1flpy.add and ibm2flpy.add denies
the access, but the drive letters a: (and b:)
are still visible in the drive-folder;
and in winos2, too.

Is there another possibility, which also
invisibles the drive letters?

Yeah, it's real simple to.  Just go into the bios and disable the floppy

Well, sorry for you, you got me instead, but I haven't seen
anyone else reply.  Not that I've got much to offer, except
that 1) Fastback hasn't been supported I believe for a long,
long time; 2) I'd be a bit surprised if loading two
different tape drivers at bootup, BA/2's and Fastback's,
were good for either of them.

I wouldn't put my faith in FB, which is dead.  Instead I'd
stick with BA/2 -- or you might even try as I do, which is
to alternate loading two different config.sys files, one
which loads BA/2, and the other which loads the freeware
GTAK tape driver -- that way you've got two sets of backups
to choose from in a worst-case scenario.

I downloaded a warp v3 GA boot disk image and tried to use loadsdkf to

the source drive. I then used xdfcopy and it wrote to the disk but upon
verify it stopped at 76% and said it couldn't the floppy or source file.
After comparing the included bootwarp.dir file to the newly created floppy
image it looked as though they were identical but when I try to boot up
fromt the floppy I get the following error:

sys02025!!
sys02027!!

It just sits there and doesn't go any further. Is the bootwarp.dsk bad? Let

"FreeTCP" was (IIRC) a set of instructions for getting the
original Warp v3 (which had tcp/ip support for dial-up but not
LAN) to work on a LAN.  I think it used files from the Warp
Connect tcp/ip stack or MPTS updates which were freely available
on the 'net to provide the LAN support.  Questionable license, if
nothing else.

Hello

I have just acquired one of these printers . Installation went smoothly and
the printer  is producing very nice output with very little impact on system
resources - (the main reason I chose this printer and gave up on the Lexmark
3200). However I have no experience with a Postscript based printer and am
hoping that someone here can answer a few questions I have about performance
and operation.

   I have noticed that there is a considerable delay between the the time a
print job is sent to the spooler and the printer actually starts printing.
E.G. I just printed a 3.5 x 5.0 inch jpg file through PMview and the printer
spent about 4 minutes in processing mode before the image was printed. Is this
normal performance for a postscript based printer? Would adding more memory to
the base 4 megs speed up the processing? Is there anything else one can do to
speed up the processing or is this just a characteristic of postscript
printers? I am not overly concerned about this as there is no hit on system
performance during the print process, but I would like to know just for the
sake of knowledge.

    Also does anyone have an idea of how to use this printer in PCL5 emulation
mode. The installation process only installed the postscript driver. Do I have
to install a different driver to use PCL5 mode? I Looked on the insallation CD
and although there were PCL5 drivers the Optra 40 was not listed in them. How
does PCL5 differ from Postscript? Is there an advantage to use one over the
other? Am I even asking the right or pertinent questions in regards to the
above paragraph?

Thanks in advance for any time one spends in responding to my queries.

You might also have to remove the existing floppy drive definition(s)
from the BIOS. This/these will probably persist even with the controller
disabled, and might cause subsequent moaning from OS/2 about it/them

Subj: Newbie: Ntwk errors NET3403 & SYS1719

From: [e-mail]

Hi All. Have patience, not very handy w/ OS2.  Using Warp 4, Fixpak5.

I changed the ntwk settings: removed Netbios, added Netbios over TCP/IP
in MPT settings.  (Left IPX & TCP/IP unchanged.) Rebooted, got an error
about a line in config.sys, tried to logon to NT domain, said I was
already logged on, which of course I wasn't.

Decided to rerun netwk install from CD, seemed to go OK.  3 reboots
seemed odd but no errors.  Rec'v the following errors on boot:

IBM OS/2 TCPNETBEUI 5.05.0
TCPBEUI: Using a 32bit data segment

NET 3403 -NET1 Networks entry in IBMLAN.ini has a syntax error & will be
ignored.

SYS 1719 -The file C:\IBMLAN\NETPROG\NETWKSTA.200 specified in the IFS
statement on Line 114 of the Config.Sys file doesn not contain a valid
device driver or file system driver.  Line 114 is ignored.

I've checked the specified files, looked in error.txt and don't see
what the problem, but I really don't what I'm looking for either.

I'm trying to logon to an NT domain, the DC's are running tcp/ip with
netbios service.  After rec'ving errors I try to logon & get "Network is
not started", and "NETWKSTA.200 requestor driver is not installed."  I
can ping & see the Netware servers fine, so problem seems limited to
requestor/client & netbios.  Help in correcting the errors, or
alternatively, steps to remove & then correctly configure the ntwk
settings would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

First of all: thanks for putting up a message at ADMzone (it might feed
Mickeysoft & Micronerd FUD, but at least we get more people in).

It's not just K7 or Athlon. I'm running a Super7 MoBo (Gigabyte's GA-5AA),
which
is pretty recent (DIMM support only). And I seem to rememebr somebody posting
the
same probem with an Intel BX440 MoBo (over at comp.os.os2.misc).
[Unfortunatedly,
default settings in my newsgroup browser decided to axe it! I have a deep,
deep
hate for standard settings]
I'm convinced it is a BIOS issue: for some reason the BIOS maker fumbled OS/2
4.0
compatibility (I'm don't know about OS/2 4.5 Aurora). Maybe they're doing
something different because they switched from SIMM+DIMM to DIMM only.

I might try a quick install of Aurora on my system and see what happens then,
that'll keep me busy this weekend ;-)

No. First off, this isn't a binary group. Second, if you don't have the

If you *do* have a CD, you can make your own disks.

An inveterate OS/2 user reports that this printer will put many more
smiles on your face if you shove some inexpensive 72 pin simms in it. If
Postscript were meant to run within 4 meg, Lexmark wouldn't have led you
to think 68 meg of memory is something anyone might want to shove in it.
The big sister model 45 comes with 16 meg standard.

You have to fill in the all this info to setup a profile. It will not

For the invisible window: Get the window list, RMB on "IBM Dialer ...",

That says: WR08210 is the minimum required.
Supercede - read "replace and enhance".

I personally decided to _not_ apply any of those 'latest stack fixes'. They
do partial updates to MPTS, leaving MPTS in an undefined state. I prefer
real MPTS updates instead.

For TCP/IP 3.0 itself you may apply the fixpaxks "un_0067" and "un_0959"
in that order. There may be still some Y2K-fixes required for TCP/IP apps.
Do the un_* fixes before applying any MPTS fix.

8423 with 8424 after that is fine. You will still have the 16bit stack.
You may want to switch to 32bit stack by applying 8610/8620 instead. These
work fine for me, but there are reported problems in OS/2 newsgroups.

Goto "Win-OS/2 Setup", options - change system settings,
select "No network installed". The only thing you loose is the ability
to create new mappings of network drives and printers using filemanger
or printmanager. But you still can use the mappings setup by OS/2.

You may want to disable the windows print manager in WinOS/2 FS by
adding the following line to the boot section in system.ini:

MAVDMAPPS=

I recommend doing it. If not, you would cause your system to double spooling
of print jobs printed from fullscreen WinOS/2,

For the "Dos error:23" :
I remember this as an WIN32S related error. Look at the top of win.ini if
there is something listed on LOAD or RUN .
If you have installed a windows app, requiring WIN32S, make sure the app
is happy with version 1.25a, which is the latest supported on WinOS/2

Subj: Re: XFree86 3.3.5 and ATI Video Xpression

From: "Graham C. Norris" <[e-mail]>

I am getting exactly the same problem with an ATI Rage II+.

I've managed to setup XFree86/OS2 on another machine with a different
video card, and while it was a little tedious figuring out how to do it,
with enough RTFMing, I managed it. This ATI however has me stumped. Why
can't it read the BIOS? I know it's visible under OS/2 because I can see
it using a memory browser in a DOS box, or using Theseus/3 in OS/2
itself.

I assume it's because it can't read the BIOS that it doesn't seem to be
able to figure out that there are several perfectly acceptable mode
settings which would work. Running XF86-Mach64 with -probeonly doesn't
work, with essentially the same set of messages, so I can't set the
clock etc. by hand.

I can get XFree86/OS2 to run with the VGA driver at 640x480 or with the
SVGA driver at an unusable 320x400, so it seems like everything else is
working, and installcheck (or is that checkinstall?) finds no errors.
I've tried moving the xf86sup driver in front of and behind the ati0
driver, I've tried removing the theseus5 driver, I've turned off
cacheing of the video BIOS. I have nothing connected to the TV out of my
card (as suggested in the FAQ) and the TV out isn't enabled. I've fixed
a problem which made fullscreen OS/2 sessions die if a working directory
was specified, and I've now run out of ideas.

My system is W4, FP12, DDFP1, AMDK6-200, 96MB.

Graham.

? I thought mem was a dos program, only showing memory available to the

Anyway, I checked the specs of your MoBo, and lo ! there is hope:

FIC 2013
Super7 - ATX
VIA Apollo MVP3
DIMM only
Award bios

So clearly, it is not an Award issue, I'm started to suspect chipsets now...
(getting desperate to target a culrpit ;-)

My MoBo (with the 64MB problem):
Gigabyte GA-5AA
Super7-AT
ALi M1542 & M1543C AGPset

BIOS last updated 10/06/99

I think my next buy will be a VIA based MoBo (also USB supported!).
At least they don't seem to expect me to run a Mickeysoft Program Launcher

Video interface (PCI or AGP)
Memory module size or sequence.

Yet it works fine on an FIC 2013 (see 'gbooth' fellow) ??

Just what the hell are we hunting down here ?

Symptom round-up:
1) BIOS scans memory fine (aka POST runs ok)
2) Windows NT 4.0 or Dos7 (aka Win95, Win98) map all memory.
3) checking hardware settings under any operating system reveal no devices use
the
area between 64MB and 128MB (on a 128MB system), i.e. between 4000000hex and
8000000hex.
4) OS/2 does not map all memory:
If you set 'OS select > 64MB' to OS/2, you get 16 or 32 MB only. (not a
surprise
because this bios setting is meant for really old OS/2 versions like 2.0 and
1.0).

If you set 'OS select > 64MB' to non-OS/2, you get the magical 64+a bit MB
(Like
65MB).

I'm checking what happens if I use OS/2 4.5 Aurora this weekend.

I don't think it is your chipset,

I have a Shuttle ME62 motherboard chipset I810E and I have the same problem.
I have check different memory configuration (1x128Mb, 2x64Mb, 128 Mb + 32
Mb, 128 Mb + 64 Mb) it is always the same problem !!

Check that your config.sys file contains a line like this

SET AUTOSTART=PROGRAMS,TASKLIST,FOLDERS,CONNECTIONS,WARPCENTER

The TASKLIST item must be present to get the "window list" popup

Subj: Help:  Warp 4 TCPIP can't find DNS

From: Sushenjit Bandyopadhyay <[e-mail]>

I recently installed Warp 4 over Warp 3.  I have no background on
networking in general and TCPIP in particular.  I have just a dialup
connection to my ISP and no network cards.  I just want to connect to
the internet, POP server etc.

The problem:  the system works fine after booting.  I can dial my ISP
and everything works.  After a few days of running and dialing and
disconnecting, One day the dial up suddenly can't find the DNS.  The
RESOLV file seems fine.  A reboot corrects the problem.

Normally netstat -a shows this:

[E:\]netstat -a
addr       128.8.22.108 interface 10 mask ffff0000  broadcast
128.8.3.102

addr          127.0.0.1 interface 0 mask ff000000  broadcast
127.0.0.1

but once this problem occurs netstat -a adds another line on top with
IP address 0.0.0.0.  (Sorry I don't have the exact line with me.)

What is causing this?  How can I correct it?

The system: Warp 4 FP 12, TCPIP 4.0 with latest fixes from WarpUp CD.
No network card.  I am dialing with DOIP and the rexx script, PPPDial.


Any help appreciated.  Thanks.

Sushenjit

It's normal for the printer to take some time processing the image.
Whether 4 minutes for a bitmap is normal is a question I can't answer.  It
really depends on a lot of things, such as the speed of the CPU in the
printer, the nature of the PostScript file produced by OS/2, etc.

Possibly.  I can't guarantee it.  4MB is pretty slim for a color
PostScript printer, though.  If nothing else, increasing the RAM is likely
to increase the number of files you can print -- that is, with only 4MB,
sooner or later you'll likely run into a file that the printer can't print
because it has insufficient RAM.

Using a different driver or different program to produce the output might
help.  There might also be driver options that would improve matters.

PostScript is a page description language (PDL) created by Adobe in the
1980s that supported, even then, some pretty advanced features.  PCL is a
PDL developed by Hewlett-Packard in the 1980s.  At its inception, PCL was
pretty weak compared to PostScript -- PCL was more like the Escape-code
languages of dot-matrix printers, really.  Over time, both languages
improved, but PCL has improved more than PostScript, so they're now closer
to being similar in power, although PostScript probably still has the edge
in most respects.

Because they're completely different and unrelated languages, you do need
a different driver to use PCL mode.  I'm not familiar with the Optra 40
per se, but most modern printers that support both modes will auto-detect
which one to use, so you can just install a PCL 5 driver and print.  It's
best if the driver you install is specific to the printer, though, so that
it can use any of the printer's unique features, and so it knows about the
printer's margin capabilities and whatnot.

Subj: ThinkPad 600E & 3Com 3C589 PCMCIA  *PROBLEMS*

From: [e-mail] (Orest Skrypuch)

Well the 600E's arrived, and I'm busy installing Warp. These need to
access our local network (NetBios & TCPIP), so getting the PCCard
(PCMCIA) set up is paramount. I'm using 3Com 3C589C PCMCIA cards,
previously used in TP560's.


Well, to my horror I can not get the 600E to handshake with the
network.


I've reinstalled a bare Warp install now a couple of times, installed
FP11, updated the MTPS and Peer services and the TCPIP stacks to the
latest.

I've installed Warp/peer services/TCPIP on a number of ThinkPads now,
so that was a snap to run through.

Then to that fresh setup I install the 600E PCCard drivers downloaded
from the IBM device driver site, they are dated Sept 99. I then
reconfigure the adapter to 3Com Etherlink PCCard family and attach the
OS/2 NetBios and TCPIP protocols. (I have to install this as a second
step, because the 600E's PCMCIA is not available in the base Warp4
install)


I start the PC Card director, it recognizes the 3C589 PCMCIA lan card.
I then logon to Peer services, but there is no communication. I can't
see any of the new TP600E's resources from other machines, and opening
up "File and Print Client Resource Browser" on the 600E shows only the
TP600E listed. I also canNOT "ping" out to the network, although
pinging the TP600E *itself* works.

During boot up there are no error messages, or drivers skipped.


Hot swapping the 3C589 to an older TP560 gets access to the network as
normal, so it is not a card or cabling issue.

I booted into Win98 on that new TP600E, and set it up for TCPIP on our
intranet, and was able to ping out to another machine, which I guess
proves out the base hardware. (notebook/PCMCIA slots/cabling/hub etc.)


I'm sure that this is something really simple, but just a new twist on
the new 600Es.

Can anyone suggest what the needle in the haystack is?

Any suggestions for testing this out further?

HELP!

Subj: How to speed up mouse in OS/2?

From: Nenad Milenkovic <[e-mail]>

IBM's scroll-point mouse drivers are making mouse pointer to
move much slower than before. While on Warp 4 can revert
to the old driver, scroll-point is default on Aurora.

Changing speed in WPS Mouse object doesn't help (it's allready
at the fastest setting), and I tried to hack os2.ini to replace
'1' (which is for the fastest tracking speed) with '0', but
it didn't helped.

Anyone has any idea how to speed up the mouse, since it's
rather inconvinient having to lift it all the time on
higher resolutions. The mouse I have is a Microsoft PS/2
mouse. Some sort of hack for mouse.sys or something?

I have the same config on a SOYO MoBo (EMA+) but mem shows only 64MB.
Some different types of memory modules does not solve this problem. I have

Wow.  You are right on, or real close just about everywhere.  The invisible
window-I should have caught that, but I was expecting something far more
complicated.

I did some research on the Netscape font deal, and sure enough, there are a
number of particular circumstance that the Netscape for OS/2 default, Courier
New is installed, but since I had yet to install Star Office, Lotus Smartsuite
or Java Unicode, I didn't have it.  After getting it working with another font
choice per your suggestion, I went back and installed the unicode to get
complete TrueType font access in the rest of Warp 3 Connect.  All is well on
this front.

I have cautious optimism on the TCP/IP front.  I've been studying the
Warpupdate
page Mark Schlegel suggested in the earlier post (Thanks Mark).  I installed
8423/8424 and un00959 and was doing ok, but then got daring and went 8610.  I
looked through all the other odd updates for Warp 3 Connect but, checking the
file dates before updating, I found that 8610 replaced almost everything with
more recent files again.  Another confusing thing is that some files were in
different directories than the readme stated the "new" files should be placed
in
(e.g., TCPIP/ETC rather than MPTN/ETC).  I skipped anything with an older date
and ploughed ahead.  Of course, at this point my intenet access was broke
again.  Six hours later I'm on line; maybe it was a service provider problem.
I'm timid to update anything else as it seems to be working fine now.  Done a
backup of the drive for safety and good to go.  A couple of small weird
things:
while cruisin around for clues while I couldn't get on line, I double clicked
on
the MPTS icon, chose config, I get a flickering window that I have to Cntl-Esc
Kill to get out of.  Also, when I boot, I get a fail sendmail cmd.exe routine
(file not found) and the orphan window needs to be closed.  Haven't found any
reference to sendmail in autoexec.bat, config.sys, startup group, etc.

Re network.drv, I found a doc reference to a system.ini boot line
"network.drv="
that was missing from my ini file.  Since I have no network driver, I added
the
line and set it to a dummy file named me.drv.  It got rid of the warning
message, but I like your solution.

The dos error:23 warning is indeed related to wrong windows version stuff.
The
install routine picked up dozens of programs, and file associations with stuff
on my c: drive (Win95).   Warp 3 Connect is installed on my g:.  I spent a
couple of days remming the c:, then d: (win95 programs).  Finally got rid of
the
message.  Some concern that associations and setup that should have been
associated with things in WINOS2 were not made because of the recognition of
the
win95 stuff.  Also, I got a "file not found" message when booting winOS2 full
screen, but not windowed.  I copied the settings for the windowed to a new
prog
icon reset it to full screen and used that for my full screen WinOS2 sessions.

Subj: OS/2 Warp Boot Diskettes And Novell Netware

From: "barney" <[e-mail]>

I have just recently built warp boot diskettes. In this case I have managed
to get the boot diskettes to be netware aware. The problem is that on boot
when loading the Token.sys( IBM ISA Adapter Auto 16/4 Card ) it will only
connect at a ring speed of 4meg. This is despite the fact that the ring is
running at 16meg.
I forgot to mention that there are only two diskettes in the boot sequence.

I am running Warp 4 fixpak 10 with Novell requester 4.2 with OS2PT1 as the
latest patch.  Any ideas ?

Cheers

Subj: Re: PINBALL.SYS and FP12?

From: "J. Weinkam" <[e-mail]>

On occations, when booting NT, I find that it doesn't recognize my HPFS
partitions.  When this happens I shut down NT, boot OS/2 and do CHKDSK
on all HPFS partitions.  I then shutdown and start NT and it will
recognize them.  You might want to force a CHKDSK of your partitions to
see if it helps.

Am I to understand that if a print job produces postscript output that is

     -an order is given to print a file

     -The printer driver produces postscript output which is dumped to the
printer's memory
     -when a page is recieved into printer memory, the printer begins to print

Are my perceptions correct or am I way off base?

Subj: Installing Warp on new Toshiba Portege 3110

From: [e-mail]

I'm at the final stages of installing Warp 4 on a Toshiba Portege 3110
ultralight
and am having some nagging problems.  I never say die (I managed installing
Warp on a Toshiba Libretto when no one else I found could), but have two
issues with this Portege that I hope someone can help with.
1 - When I boot and use OS/2 programs, everything is fine.  If I have the
unit plugged into A/C, everything is fine.  If I run from the batteries,
however,
no DOS or Win-OS/2 programs will run.  When I click on the icon, it pegs
the CPU meter at 100% and hangs.  I upgraded the APM.SYS file to version
1.2 and upgraded the BIOS to the latest version.  No help.  Any ideas?
2 - Every now and then, the Boot Manager will not appear and the bootup
hangs.  I must pull the battery and power on again to get the Boot Manager
screen.  This will happen on power on or reboot with no seeming cause.
I have Boot Manager to choose between win98, dos/win3.1 and os/2.
I tried enabling and disabling hibernation in the BIOS.  No help.  Any ideas?

One thing that worked for me (sorta) is that I have 2 computers hooked to a

booted a different machine, I'd do a switch-switch back and the mouse sped
up.  The switchbox is just a plain jane data switchbox, NO electonics inside
(can't get the 'good' one to work) so.... try just hotunplugging/plugging it

Tip of the Day:

Netscape 2
FTP sites or URL pointers
If you click on a ftp url to download a file and
it just sits there but is connected to site,
click it again and the file will download shortly download.
Usually, I only need to do this when 'outside an ftp site
from a place like Shareware.com'
Also, if the requestor says unable to download
then more than likely the 'Filename is to long'
rename it (8+3) in the lister file area and go....>

The 5700 and z51 are paper shuffling ink sprayers. Perform well under
the tutelage and monitoring of the OS/2 drivers written for them. The
Optra 40 and 45 are printers, with minds of their own. At least if you

Subj: FP-11/12, Networking, TCP/IP & StarOffice

From: "Andrew Grygus" <[e-mail]>

Here's the situation:
(NET-1) 11 OS/2 Warp4.0 workstations, 1 Warp Server 4.0, 1
Linux Samba server, StarOffice 5.0 on 8 workstations.
NetBEUI over TCP/IP.(NET-2) 3 workstations, all OS/2
peer-to-peer, 1 Linux Samba server, NetBEUI over TCP/IP.

When we switched NET-1 from NetBEUI to NetBEUI over
TCP/IP (for access to the new Samba server), we encountered
minor problems with StarOffice blowing up reading certain files
from the Warp Server.  Always one station could be found to
load it and save it back, then no problems.   Then we
upgraded to FixPack-11 for Y2K.  >>>MAJOR<<< StarOffice
problems blowing up when loading files, or in many cases
when going into settings menu (trace says GPF).

Tried to get support from Star Division, but they were too busy
selling out to Sun (we paid $500 for dealer status with support,
boy did that evaporate).  Bought StarOffice 5.1 (three days
before it became free) - no help.  Now Linux Care is providing
StarOffice support.  They said they would try, but they know
OS/2 like the backside of the moon.

Well, as an experiment, we upgraded TCP/IP and Peer on one
machine.  >>>That machine no longer autostarts its connections<<<
(except to the Samba server).  We have to "reconnect" them all
by hand.  No help for StarOffice.

So, to try to get to the bottom of this, we installed FixPack-12,
TCP/IP upgrade and Peer upgrade on two of the NET-2 machines.
>>>No autostart of connections<<<.  We deleted the shares and
connections and reestablished them.  No dice.  Still no
autoconnect -  >>>and no error messages saying "one or more of
your connections failed<<<.  We have to connect each one by
hand at both machines.

Anyone know what's going on here?

Any Peer fixpack past IP8407 has the problem with
>>>>No autostart of connections<<<<<<
>>>>No autostart of shares<<<<<
with resources shared on a Peer workstation. The
resources shared from the server always work fine.

I ran into this with both IP8410 and IP8412. The only way to
get it to work is to roll back to the IP8407 level.

It affects both disk shares and printer shares.

If you have a support agreement with IBM file a
program defect and maybe they will have it fixed
for the next fixpack. There have been a number of
complaints concerning this problem in the USENET
comp.os.os2.networking groups. It happens with both
NETBIOS and NETBIOS over TCP/IP so it is not
a protocol problem.

True enough. Today, RAM is cheap enough to get good bitmap throughput from
an inexpensiv eprinter.

It is quite possible to get good throughput from a 4MB PostScript printer if
it is used for what it is good at. PostScript is a programming language
which is excellent for vector graphics and (vector based) text rendering.
The bitmap handling, on the other hand, is extremely inefficient.

A  few years ago, I saw a case where a professional phototypesetter took
over 12 hours making one page with a detailed grayscale image...

Hey, it's OK. I didn't mean to sound pissed! :) If you broke your CD,
then contact IBM. You can get a replacement disk if you mail in the
broken peices... (you may hae to pay for shipping) Just remember, your

Subj: Re: ThinkPad 600E & 3Com 3C589 PCMCIA  *PROBLEMS*

From: Meinolf Sondermann <[e-mail]>

Hello Orest,

just a guess:
If you're using it in a docking station, give it at first a try
without the dock, or at least use the slots in the thinkpad itself
and not the dock's ones.

Why ?
Well, there is a known problem with 3com PCI networks cards and the
TP 600E in a dock, where the 3com driver can access 8 PCI busses
numberd 0 to 7, The 600E ( and just this machine ) assigns the number
8 to the bus in the dock. Maybe PCMCIA is a similar case.

If you don't need to access netware servers, you don't need IPX.

The requester was setup to use NETBEUI. The corresponding line in IBMLAN.INI
- usually located in C:\IBMLAN - reads:

net1 = NETBEUI$,0,LM10,34,70,14

Change it to
net1 = TCPBEUI$,1,LM10,34,70,14

This will cause the requester to use Netbios over TCP/IP.

Hello Barney,

I doubt that ODI for OS/2 has been grown to use 16 Mbit/s. I suggest switching
to IBMTOK.OS2 and then running IPX on NDIS. But I don't know if ODI can talk
to
NDIS or if there is NDIS available on Netware.

BTW.: Where did you get this Token.Sys from ? Seems to be a driver for OS/2
1.3
and below when there even was no distinguished LAPS ( predecessor of NTS/2 ->
MPTS ).

Subj: Re: Warp Connect/Netscape install problems

From: Meinolf Sondermann <[e-mail]>

Hello Satnam,

good to hear, that we could help you.

Some annotations left:

SENDMAL.EXE
This is a SMTP daemon for OS/2. You only need it, if you want to use ULTIMAIL
,
cause AFAIR it can't utilize a remote SMTP. The TCP/IP config prompts you for
starting sendmail if you havn't selected it. Then it gets started by
TCPSTART.CMD
through your startup folder. You can just edit TCPSTART,CMD remming out the
lines
dealing with sendamil and you're fine.

Locations moved
With newer MPTS the TCP/IP stack and related programs ( route, ppp ... )
former
located in the TCP/IP tree have been moved to MPTS. This will allow for
running
apps like Netscape by just installing MPTS and not TCP/IP. The most important
thing left to TCPIP tree is the configuration notebook. Whithout that you will
have to manually edit the configuration files - though possible but annoying.
Others are FTP and Telnet both client and server as well as some other
daemons.

Flickering Window
That's a serious one, and I don't have any idea. Maybe some other can jump in.

OS/2 and Windows on the same machine
I strongly recommend having each of them on a primary partition. Selecting one
or the other in Bootmanager each will get assigned drive C:. This will prevent
OS/2 from getting messed up by finding some W95 apps which it can't start
anyway.
It also prevents W* from playing havoc whith your OS/2 partition, which is a
serious danger IMO.

File not found while starting WinOS/2 FS
Does the error appear in the Windows environment, or is it while still in
the DOS stage ? For the latter look at AUTOEXEC.BAT, the former WIN.INI,
SYSTEM.INI.
You may also look at DOS_DEVICE in Win-OS/2 properties whether a driver
designated
to be loaded from there (e.g. ANSI.SYS) is pointing to a wrong location.

I don't have any problem reading an HPFS partition (FP12) from NT.  No change
from FP8 -> FP12.

Maybe still an APM question: Are COM-ports or audio device switched off while
on
battery ? If yes, you may set the respective access options in DOS(Win-OS/2)
properties
from REQUIERD to OPTIONAL.

Seems to be either bad HD or battery. There's not enough power to start the
disk.

It works! Thank you!

Now I have only to find out if it's possible to speed up
vertical movement independently of horizontal movement. :)

But this is good enough for now, thanks! :)

Subj: Strage IP address?

From: Sushenjit Bandyopadhyay <[e-mail]>

I have just installed Warp 4 (with FP 12).  I have a dialup connection
to the internet using DOIP.  After running for a few days the
(connecting and disconnecting as needed) the internet access stops
working.  I don't know much about TCPIP, but this is what I get, when
I do netstat \a.

[E:\]netstat -a
addr            0.0.0.0 interface 10 mask 0  broadcast
0.0.0.0
addr         128.8.22.5 interface 10 mask ffff0000  broadcast
128.8.3.101

addr          127.0.0.1 interface 0 mask ff000000  broadcast 127.0.0.1


When the system works I get:

[E:\]netstat -a
addr         128.8.22.5 interface 10 mask ffff0000  broadcast
128.8.3.101

addr          127.0.0.1 interface 0 mask ff000000  broadcast 127.0.0.1

So what is adding the 0.0.0.0 IP? And how do I stop this?

Thanks.

Sushenjit

Subj: Adding Peer to WARP 4

From: "Gail Koontz" <[e-mail]>

I need to install peer services on my computer, and I definitely don't want to
reinstall WARP 4 to do it. I've
already tried once and run into the problem with processing locked files. I
have some long LIBPATH and
PATH statements, so this is likely to be the problem. I've installed peer on
an alternate OS/2 partition so
that I could see what was added to CONFIG.SYS. Is either of these approaches
likely to work and be
relatively safe?

(1) Save the current CONFIG.SYS. Temporarily remove enough references in the
long statements to get
them below 256 characters. Boot with that and just don't start anything likely
to use the removed entries.
Run the selective install. Add the removed entries back to the new CONFIG.SYS.

(2) Create empty directories for the entries that would be added by the
selective install (\IBMLAN\NETLIB,
\IBMLAN\NETPROG, etc.) and insert the necessary references to them in
CONFIG.SYS, making sure that
they fall within the first 256 characters of the statements they are added to.
Run selective install.

And in the second case, would I have to insert stuff only in the PATH, etc.
statements that already exist, or
would I have to add the new statements too (DEVICE=, RUN=, etc.)?

Grateful, as usual, for any help!

Subj: Microphone Recording Level

From: Jim Marshall <[e-mail]>

I want to start using VoiceType on Warp 4 so I bought an Andrea NC-50
headset and plugged it into my Aopen AW230 audio card.  The first thing
I did was run the Check Installation, but I can't seem to get a good
input level.  I bought an auxillary power supply to boost the level but
still it seems too weak.  Is there a setting for the microphone input
level somewhere that I should be adjusting?

I appreciate any help on this.
