As per request.
1. I have just tried http://www.norman.no/corporate/demo_nvc.htm. It
gave the 404 error.
2. I downloaded http://www.norman.com/local/evals/downloads/sos2.zip
twice. Both were not recognized by unzip version 5.40 (which I think
is the latest version). I suspect these are in one of MicroSoft's
non-standard, proprietary formats. Any suggestions? Or has a virus
damaged my zip installation? ;-)
We still want to test the software.

I just tried the download and it unzipped just fine with
Info-Zip's UNZIP version 5.2
You could try that version or use PKWare version 2.5 for
OS/2 which also has no trouble with it.
BTW - the expansion does "extracting" and "Inflating" to
obtain the compressed files.

Hmmm. Looks to me like it does have something that lives in the
background. I get a green rectangle, that indicates "NVCSYS v4" when I
start a DOS session (windowed, or full screen). Check to see if you
got the line:
DEVICE=x:\NORMAN\DOS\NVC.SYS
inserted into your CONFIG.SYS. That seems to be what does it. From
reading the docs, I feel confident that the "realtime DOS behaviour
pattern scanner" is a realtime virus prevention thing, and the
description makes a lot of sense.
I am also assured, (in another post) that Norman is working on
something new, that will make the current resident thing obsolete.
I feel very confident, at this point, that Norman will get some cash
from me.

I used AWget/Wget to download it, and used UNZIP 5.32, with no
trouble.
UNZIP 5.4 does have a couple of "problems". One of them has something
to do with a certain method of compressing data, which PKWare (not
Microsoft) seems to have copyrighted, and they had to pull from the
5.4 version of UNZIP. If the ZIPed file happens to have that type of
compression, UNZIP 5.4 cannot unzip it. Earlier versions of UNZIP
still have the support for that compression format.
You can also use the OS/2 version of PKUNZIP, from PKWare.
Hope this helps...

I did look at F-Prot for OS/2. It looked pretty good, but it is just a
scanner, there is nothing resident to stop a virus from doing it's
dirty work (unless I missed something). Check out
http://www.complex.is/f-prot/Download.html for more information.
I also checked out:
Command AV: http://www.commandcom.com/
Panda AV: http://www.pandasoftware.com/
and one other (I seem to have lost the web site). All of them seem to
be only scanners, and have no resident thing to stop viruses, or they
were impossibly slow.
Symantec (Norton AV), doesn't seem to want the business.
I did not look at the current McAfee offering. From past experience
(quite a while back, I will admit), I was not very impressed with
their OS/2 support, or with the performance hit that I took when I had
their software installed. I suppose, I should look again.
Having downloaded, and installed, the demo of the Norman OS/2 AV, I am
quite impressed. It seems to be as good as, if not better than, the
IBM AV for OS/2, although I don't have a virus to test it with (no, I
don't want one, thanks). Development does seem to be continuing, and
the record does seem to be good, from what I have heard.
I think the glass is slightly over half <g>.

Yep, same here. I tried my local office (Australia) and it does not
even seem to have an eval page and does not mention OS/2 at all

There is a TIFF printer driver. You can find it in new OMNI printer driver

Subj: COM port setup in DOS box under os/2
From: not@here.invalid (Braxton Burrsaddle)
I'm using an application in a DOS window in os/2 to communicate with a
servo controller (for those interested it's a Galil DMC-2050). The
controller needs a serial connection at 19.2 kbps, and that is what I
set up in the batch file that calls the terminal application. I've
found that calling the batch file the first time in an os/2 session
sets the communication parameters right, but if I close and then
invoke it again, the communication hangs.
The SIO.SYS parameters come up in the Win-os/2 settings right, and
they're set up for a hardware handshake. Every time I call the batch
file the response is:
Asynchronous communication parameters have been set.
Then, the terminal application loads properly.
Why does the communication stop working when the COM port settings are
sent the second time?
TIA

Greg .. I wonder? Can you turn the power off and on in this
controller, like an external modem? Or is it an internal device and you
can't turn it off and on? Reason I ask is that when using OS/2 and
DOS-VDM sessions with TNC controllers for ham packet use, I see this
sort of thing on occaision. I can break the syndrome by turning the
power off on the TNC and then life's wonderful the next time around.
It's irregular with my station. I've not dug deeply into it. However I
think I understand that what is happening is that there is data still in
the buffer for the device. If the buffer isn't clean, then on a
re-init, the device can't init, because it can't flush the buffer.
I thought I learned a long time ago that OS/2 doesn't actually have the
"port" until it is needed for a certain session. It's, remember, a
virtual port, an object, if I understand all this right. One of the
problems I think I understand that erupts, is that OS/2, being
pre-emptively multi-tasking, is perfectly free to both create and
de-create that port as needed for its own internal threading et. al.
That ain't so good for serial port applications which are running in
real time, provided that there is no real way to control the data flow
in syncronization with what OS/2 will allow as a pre-emptive
multi-tasker. On packet, or for satellite links, for example, the
device at the other end may not stop sending data until it can be shut
down, which may be way behind what OS/2 thinks it is OK to pre-empt!
You have to excercise real control over buffering and buffer sizes to
make sure you have enough space to handle all error-generated
contingencies!
Thus, like cows in a trailer, if you yank the loading chute out from
under the string of them coming out of the trailer down into the pen,
one of two things has to happen. Either some of them will fall out on
the ground and get mangled, or, if the application can stop the herd,
some of them may still be in the trailer .. lost...
If an empty trailer is one prequirement for putting a new chute in place
. and you have no way to remove them .. no cows in the pen again that
load. If you can make the traier dissapear and re-appear, beef for
supper!

Norman (http://www.norman.no/), is still the winner, so far, in my

systems (too bad, Symantec, you are losing business on the OTHER
platforms, because you are not supporting OS/2)...

If this is MR/2 you're talking about (I think it's a safe guess :), then
you should know that in v1.61 I added some code that, AFAICT, eliminates
this problem. Basically, I found some Netscape-originating emails with
embedded NULL characters, which caused much trouble when using C++-based
string calls. These are now handled.
I see you're using v1.60 now. v1.62 is available on the MR/2 ICE web
page:
http://nick.secant.com/mr2ice.htm
This had a few minor bug fixes above-and-beyond what you're using now,
including a little patch to accomodate a new FP10/11 problem.
Later versions are beta's, still, but there are some HUGE performance
enhancements in the current versions.

(I tried to get help from APC, but no reply so far.)
I am trying to use Powerchute Plus for OS/2 version 4.2.3 to perform
controlled shutdowns of my system in case of power failure, but have run
into several problems.
Setup: APC Back-UPS Pro 650 connected via simple signalling cable,
UPSD.exe started at system startup, then Powerchute Plus manually
started.
Serious problem: When I yank the plug from the wall, the computer stays
on without a hiccup, but a few seconds after I plug the UPS back in the
wall, power to the computer is abruptly cut- no orderly shutdown, just
poof! The same thing happened when I used UPSmon shareware instead of
Powerchute Plus, so I think it is a problem with the UPS itself, but
please correct me if I am wrong. Both programs report a successful
connection between the UPS and the computer, but neither seem to be able
to use it for an orderly shutdown. Even though logging is selected, no
loss of power event is logged.
Minor problem: No graphical display of sytem resources. The space is
there, just no colored bar graphs. The only exception to this is when I
start PP without first starting UPSD as recommended. In this case,
colored graphs appear, but are meaningless since they don't change with
changing conditions.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Warp 4 does it's own memory management.
The DOS sessions that OS/2 provide both DPMI, XMS and/or
EMS memory managers.
The Iomega tech does NOT know what he/she/it is talking
about.

Wrong. APC provides a special (hacked) version of the IBM com.sys driver. I
could not use this driver due to problems with InJoy and my modem. I use the
SIO drivers with no problems. All I had to do was add this to the
device=sio.sys line:
(COM1:2400,3F8,IRQ4,-)
Just subsitute any change due to different com port. If you notice, the port
is locked at 2400 baud. This is the required setting for my Smart-UPS 700.
BTW, I got this info of the APC website.

Brian, could you please elaborate on the switches accompanying
the OS2DASD.DMD command. According to the help file there are no
switches associated with this command. I currently use this
command with the ' /rf ' switch accompanying it. I use a
magneto-optical drive. Would your switches improve my
performance? Thanks in advance for your response.

It has been a while since I installed FP9 which is where I got the info
from. I will try and find it later, but as I understand it the parameters say
that you have removable media and you want to reserve 1(in this case)
drive letter for it. I only use a ZIP disk with 1 partion. However, if you
have
something like an ORB drive and want to partion it you could reserve more
drive letters. Also if you put in a removable media which has more partions
I think OS2DASD will handle it, but I do not know what it will do to the drive
letter structure as I have never tried it.
Brian
PS /V just displays what it has done. You can replace all the /Q's in your
config to see what is happening.

Thank you everyone for your kind replies......my Iomega zip drive is
nnow workinng fine and my win OS/2 session runs as well. The tech at
Iomega through me off because of the trap and because I have noticed
that whennever I use multiple programs the screen takes soo long to
repaint, in fact, remnants of my win/OS2 sessions stay on the screen
after I close the win session.
this is a minor anoyance sinnce my zip drive now works o.k.

Something I've always wondered about but never got round to testing. I
change my bios setting between OS2 and non-OS2 above 64m (I've got 128m
crammed in) depending on whether I'm booting into NT or Warp. A pain,
but never really thought to see what happens if I leave the setting
alone, I've always assumed that in the relevent OS the extra 64m would
be ignored.
BTW, NT is run under sufference. I have a couple of programs I must run
and I can't get them up in Warp :^)

That OS/2 option in some BIOSes is for very old versions of OS/2. With
either Warp 3 or Warp 4 you should be able to leave it on the
non-OS2 setting.

This was something I picked up about 4 yrs. ago in the news groups (like I
said "I once read..."). Perhaps modifications have been made since then to
fix the problem, or perhaps the original information I received was garbage.
I dunno, I just passed on what I heard. Someone else pointed out this to me,
I checked the APC site and they confirm that SIO drivers are ok.

Many thanks to everyone who has contributed suggestions! I still have not
resolved
the problems, but APC did finally acknowledge my email and I have tried some
new
things that may help diagnose the problem.
1) I booted to a non-OS/2 partition and yanked the power plug. As usual the
UPS
switched to battery. When I replugged the cord, the power stayed on with or
without
the "serial" cable attached.
2) I found mention of a very similar problem in the documentation of the
shareware
UPSMonB from the Warped Code Cellar. They do not mention the 650, but they
describe a
similar problem with the 400. The "simple-signalling" cable shipped with the
UPS
itself is different than the "simple-signalling cable shipped with the
software. I
will try the other cable tomorrow as I have a job running now that I can't
interrupt.
Any other suggestions/ comments are also welcome.
Thanks!

Hi,
I just installed Styler/2 AKA SmartWindows in two computers.
The strange thing is that in both computers' the CPU meter show less
spikes and the spikes are shorter. Overall I feel that both computers
are more responsive in terms of screen drawings of window elements.
Is it possible that this program/utility is replacing bloated parts of
the OS? I remember OD1.X and OD2.0 did the contrary and my system lost
performance.
Can anyone can confirm this?

In my experience, this is generally true. However, I am currently fighting
with the Gigabyte 71X board (and my 700 mhz Athlon!). When set to the
non-OS2 setting, Warp detects only about 64 megs of the installed 256 megs;
but when I set it to the OS2 setting, then Warp only detects 16 megs!!
This seems to be true for the current crop of Athlon boards; I even have
one report that this also is a problem for NT SP5. It is NOT a problem for
Win98.
Unfortunately, no one at AMD, Gigabyte, or IBM has deigned to respond to
my e-mails, and Award has pretty effectively insulated themselves from the
end-user.

Subj: I lost CdRom on IBM ThinkPad 755CD???
From: aldel@ibm.net
Had Win95 + OS/2 Ver3 Red on my IBM Thinkpad 755CD
with Floppy drive and IBM Cdrom working fine.
Somehow lost the cdrom and Modem trying to
install Ver 4. (had to reinstall)
Had to reinstall Windows 3.1 because I have the disks
and os2 ver3. Managed to get the modem pcmia back
working: but cannot get the cd-rom back.
The cd rom is an IBM teac.
I tried atapi drivers, msdex, and a couple others,
No good.
Help really appreciated.
Albert.
It took me 82 years to get this dumb, ;-(

actually, there is a smartwin.dll that gets copied to the
X:\OS2\DLL directory.
I don't know if this could account for the performance gained
