I got this problem from Microsoft Excel under Microsoft Windows '95 using names like MÉMOCO~1.DOC as the short visible to DOS name for an exemple file named "Mémo court.doc": it could be renamed under Windows using normal letters for the first part. I also recall than GWBASIC.EXE from MSDOS was able to access, create and erase accented letters and spaces in file name: I just tested and it did create a filename with a space and a É in it; my version of Warp 4 (Canadian -French) had no problem erasing it from Icon view ...This was on a FAT-16 drive. If standard US warp doen't, you just could install another Codepage for a while as most others have accented letters and can use them in names. --- WtrGate+ v0.93.p7 sn 165 * Origin: Origin Line 1 Goes Here (1:109/42) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: operagost@e-mail.com 07-Nov-99 07:05:08 To: All 07-Nov-99 03:28:17 Subj: Re: Undeleteable files with extended characters From: "Stephen Eickhoff (remove the - to reply)" This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------94B18C6204BC60BAFBDF17A3 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Well, I did find the file using the Gammatech Utilities' secotr editor, but I admit I don't know where to make the changes.

When SEDIT shows the current sector as being an FNode, and the path and name of the files are what you want, just overwrite the sector with junk. Obviously, what you'll need to do is boot from floppy disks to be able to lock the drive. And as for your WPS problems, mentioned previously, try deleting the WP ROOT.

It wasn't as random as I thought, it was a particular newsgroup, comp.os.os2.misc. Everytime I tried to get to that newsgroup, Netscape crashed. To correct the problem I edited the news*.rc file and removed the reference to comp.os.os2.misc. Then resubscribed to it. For now everything seems ok.

Key in delete or rename and then paste the file name in Another way is to use the alt + numeric keypad to enter the special characters. This is with codepage 850. alt + 133 = à alt + 189 = ¢ alt + 131 = â On my system I have to use the left alt key. Yet another way would be to go at the files using the drive object to open the folder and either delete or rename the files. You could also open the system editor and key in the delete filename using the alt + numeric method and copy and paster the command to a command line prompt.

If your config.sys hasn't changed then you probably only have 2 available codepages. try switching to the other page and then try to delete them. Look in your config.sys for a line like: CODEPAGE=437,850 Actual number might be different. Type CHCP in a OS/2 session. It will show the active codepage. Then try switching to the other number as specified in your config.sys. In the example above 437 would be the default. 850 is the 'other' CP. So to switch to the other CP type: CHCP 850 Then try to delete the files.

From: "Christopher E. Souter" Hi,everyone! Does anyone know why Print Manager starts automatically when Win-OS/2 starts up? I have looked in all the usual places, such as the StartUp group, the "load= " line in the WIN.INI file, the SYSTEM.INI file, the PROGMAN.INI and the CONTROL.INI files. Print Manager is *NOT* in my StartUp group, and there is *DEFINITELY* no reference to it in any of the above-mentioned files. Can anyone tell me what is causing it to start up every time Win-OS/2 starts, and how I can stop it? I am using a Windows printer driver which does not use Print Manager, and I want to avoid conflicts. I am using OS/2 Warp 4 (FullPack), with FixPak 9, but this problem has existed since I installed Warp , i.e., before any FixPaks were applied.

IBM DB2 Support confirmed what all were saying about DB2 attempting to allocate large memory for bufferpools; that is: 1. OS/2 has an address space limit of 512 MB. Shared and system resources use a significant chunk of this, leaving (very) roughly 200- 300 MB of virtual memory available to programs. 2. The Warp Server SMP Upgrade allows programs to circumvent this by allocating in the 'High Memory Area' (HMA) between 512 MB and 2 GB (or VIRTUALADDRESSLIMIT). DB2 will take advantage of this, when present. Our problem was that, although we had Warp Server, we didn't have the correct edition / upgrade to support the HMA. Given current licenses & installation, we've decided to recommend sticking to no more than 200 MB of bufferpool + heap allocation when running under OS/2 Warp (this'll work under Warp workstation as well). Other DB2 servers wanting to use more memory will have different OSes, anyway.

So far, the system booted up with no problems and I haven't had any crashes yet (running for 1 hour). The occasional Trap D and Trap E crashes I've had usually only occur no more than once in 4 to 8 days so it will take a while to see if they have gone away. The only thing is, the Aureal Vortex 1 sound card drivers still trap when the desktop starts up. The next time I feel like trashing the system I'll let the drivers load and post the trap. (BTW - this is with the ASP4VDD.SYS driver commented out) The trap only occurs when the ASP4OS2.SYS driver is loaded. The drivers work with Warp 4, of course.

I get the accents in most windows by changing the font to times roman. As for the title of the messages or windows as well as the text in preferences the letters which should have accents look like garbage. With the default font the letters on my web site look like shit as well. This is a severe bug in OS/2 as they should support characters better than that. Perhaps they should learn how it's done under Linux and learn a bit. I would say winblows since when I run NT in a command line it is frequent to get a crash because NT chokes on codepage 863.

On drives ranging from 130MB up to 3GB, the difference is 4096 sectors. On drives 10MB in size, the difference is 443 sectors. These sectors are not reserved for any known HPFS structure. They are also not used by anything, known or otherwise (all bytes have the value 0xF6). In all cases, the free but unreachable sectors are the last data sectors on the drive. That is, the last 4096 (or 443) sectors of the drive, not counting any freespace bitmaps, which these dead sectors often span. I haven't tested HPFS386 thus far, and I haven't personally tested the HPFS support of WinNT 3.x (and 4.0, for people who take the time). However, I have a piece of anecdotal "evidence", by means of someone mentioning to me that they seem to recall NT reporting 2MB more free space on a shared HPFS drive than OS/2 (which, of course, matches the discrepancy on a 512-byte sector drive). I'm not particularly concerned about WinNT, but if the story proves true, it does present a potential for data "loss" - where WinNT stores data, but OS/2 is unable to read it. My primary concern is that 2MB of disk space is not usable (under OS/2), for no apparent reason. I'd appreciate having an APAR opened on this, or receiving an explanation for why it's not a bug. -- - Mike Remove 'spambegone.net' and reverse to send e-mail. --- WtrGate+ v0.93.p7 sn 165 * Origin: Usenet: TLF (1:109/42) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: wwiv@pppproject.org 09-Nov-99 04:08:02 To: All 09-Nov-99 10:58:09 Subj: Warp 4 installation problem From: "Dilbert Firestorm" hiya all - I have a problem installing Warp 4 CD over warp 3 fixpack 38. - I get an error sys0193 on a file coninst.exe - any suggestions on this?

At the moment this setting only affects OS/2 2.1 (same for 'Boot to OS/2'). This problem is common to most Athlon boards and most 'modern' motherboards, it's a BIOS and OSLDR thing, and where digging this up. Look in the comp.os.os2.setup.misc newsgroup. If you need a fully working Athlon board fast, get the Asus K7M. Two people (that I know of) have confirmed it is OS/2 compliant.

I have it mostly working but with 2 odd behaviours. The problems occur either with the HP or IBM drivers (www.hp.com or device driver pak online). First, any printing from Win-OS2 will be held up until the printer can be "woken up" somehow. By this, I mean that the printer starts out a Win-OS2 offline and I need to do something to get it to accept characters. The 2 ways I've found to do this is 1) press the "Go" button, which prints a test page, after which the printer accepts information 2) remove all paper (changing the paper status light) after which the printer accepts information. Once printing can be established in a Win-OS2 session, it is OK until that session ends. A new session causes the same problem. DOS printing does not have this problem. I am using the win 3.1 print driver from the printer's CD. Installation was fine, and I did install when ibmnull was the default OS2 driver. The second strange thing has to do with printing from Adobe Acrobat. About 60-70% of all times roman characters are corrupt (mostly white on black, but also distorted). The same doc prints fine in GhostView, and all other OS2 printing is fine (Describe, Wordpro). If anyone has a lead on either of these problems let me know. Thanks.

It points to a problem between OS/2 internals and the emerging hardware "standards." Anyone got any thoughts about how to point this out to IBM? ======= Dear Sir, I'm responding to your FAX about BIOS problems sizing memory above 64MB with OS/2. OS/2 and Windows NT/9x use different BIOS calls to determine how much memory is available. OS/2 uses INT 15h,AX=E801h while Windows uses INT 15h,AX=E820h. Look here, http://www.ctyme.com/intr/int.htm to see the details. Award has had support for the E801 call since late in 1995. Recently, though, this support was made conditional on ACPI in order to pass an Intel "Component Validation Test". In other words a BIOS with ACPI support could not have E801 support. Very recently (October), this code was refined to allow the E801 support to be included even if ACPI is supported. In summary, your BIOS doesn't have support for the runtime call OS/2 needs to correctly determine how much memory above 64MB is available. It is possible that a BIOS upgrade from Gigabyte might fix this. I hope this clarifies what is happening for you, and regret that we can't make the BIOS support OS/2. ======= Frank Field furd@alum.mit.edu O- --- WtrGate+ v0.93.p7 sn 165 * Origin: Usenet: Massachvsetts Institvte of Technology (1:109/42) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: djohnson@isomedia.com 09-Nov-99 10:39:24 To: All 09-Nov-99 16:00:00 Subj: IBM1S506.ADD Driver From: "David T.

First, you NEED a C: drive that when OS/2 boots, it calls C:. This can ONLY be accomplished by using BOOT MANAGER, and when Boot Manager is installed, it must be known as C:. That means the drive was created via Boot Manager as a PRIMARY. I figured this out by installing and using Partition Magic and NT on an EXISTING C: that was OS/2. When we installed NT to the old OS/2 C: (we had OS/2 on D: and E: as well), we were able to test out NT. What we had was NO C: under OS/2. AFTER I messed around with Partition Magic, and used IT to format the existing C: at FAT32 and to knock off the old C: in Boot Manager so that wasn't a selection, we hit a wall, D: became C: and E: became D:. I had to use BOOT MANAGER to delete the FAT32 and redefine the partition as a primary again. I guess I could now go back and format just the C: as FAT 32. The part I can't understand is if I add that to the Boot Manager via PM at least, it appears I'll be in the same boat (PM 4.0 Pro used) again, a visible C: that gets ignored and the drives that are recognized moved down one letter again? How can I recreate the scenario that is REAL? I suspect I need OS/2's Boot Manager, not PM's. Still laboring over this, but I beleive that the need for a C: is no longer needed. We 'fixed' this by accident when we allowed for a non writeable CD under WSeB. It still doesn't fix a broken/stopped install of a FP when the next boot inserts a readable C: via Boot Manager. We know how to fix this, but are wondering if we'll now find FIXSTART.xxx on other drives for people.

This is the stupidmost idea to have case-insensitive file system with sorted directories and user-switchable codepages at work. Lookup of files ignores case when doing binary search, then cannot find the file, since the ordering is different on different codepages.

There is also a little ditty called BLACKHOLE that is the WPS version of BLOWOFF; drag-n-drop whatever onto it and Poof! gone. Usually; not always effective. BLOWOFF is the most effective I've found. Another thing to try is to Drag-and-Drop the files to a floppy. The WPS seems to use a different approach to accessing files than the command line does.

Here on my Warp 4 system the 128MB of RAM are recognized with either BIOS setting, but the memory performance is much better with the special OS/2 setting turned on according to Sysbench.

(besides reinstall > OS/2) - would recreating os2.ini and os2sys.ini fix the problem? Maybe. Do you have a recent backup of these files? If not you may try a REXX script that goes recursively through the trees and sets the appropriate settings for the folders. On Hobbes is a package called RECURSE.ZIP (in /pub/os2/util/wps) that can change lots of settings for a folder and its subfolder by dragging the top folder onto a special object. Otherwise you may try the following REXX together with the RECURSE command from CmdPak (a free CMD.EXE extension) or a similar shell command that recursively executes commands: call RxFuncAdd 'SysLoadFuncs', 'RexxUtil', 'SysLoadFuncs' call SysLoadFuncs call SysSetObjectData directory(), 'DEFAULTVIEW=ICON'; Another possibility _may_ be to change the system default folder view to something other than the current, reboot, change it back to what you want and reboot again.

I haven't seen it before, but assuming you've installed and used Feature Installer at least once in your OS/2-using career, the following REXX script should help to fix things up for you: -------------------------------[cut here]------------------------------------- /* Quick script to build WPObjData objects. */ /* Written by Brad BARCLAY */ call RxFuncAdd 'SysLoadFuncs', 'RexxUtil', 'SysLoadFuncs' call SysLoadFuncs /***************************************************/ /* Note: be sure to set the following variable to */ /* a drive letter visible to OS/2. */ /* Normally, C:\ should be just fine. */ /***************************************************/ dir="C:\" /***************************************************/ /* Note: there is no need to change these two */ /* variables - they are defined for */ /* the sake of convienence. */ /***************************************************/ filename="FLDRMOD.BJB" objname="" /***************************************************/ /* Note: the following variable may be set as */ /* follows: */ /* */ /* ICON - Opens in Icon View */ /* TREE - Opens in Tree View */ /* DETAILS - Opens in Details View */ /* DEFAULT - Opens in the classes */ /* default view. */ /***************************************************/ defview="ICON" /***************************************************/ /* Program starts here... */ /***************************************************/ myrc=SysRegisterObjectClass("WPObjData", "OBJDATA") myrc=SysCreateObject("WPObjData", filename, dir, "OBJECTID="||objname) if myrc=0 then exit /* Couldn't create the object */ myrc=LINEOUT(dir||filename, "DEFAULTVIEW="||defview) myrc=LINEOUT(dir||filename) myrc=SysMoveObject(objname, "") myrc=SysSetObjectData(objname, "TITLE=Drag and Drop Folders Here!") exit -------------------------------[cut here]------------------------------------- Copy this to a file, and modify any of the variables that might need changing (probably none of them, but one never knows :). Save it to a file on your hard drive (call it whatever you want - I called it FLDFIX.CMD), and run it. This script alone won't fix your problem - HOWEVER it will create an object on your desktop where you can drag and drop all of your folders to (one a a time or many at once) which will set their default view to "ICON" (unless you change the 'defview' variable as explained in the REXX script). If you happen to have lots and lots and lots of folders on your system, I can whip up either another script or a C program which will do all of them for you, but this should at least get you started in fixing some of your more important folders, and is good if only some folders are broken, and not others. The following script is much more brutal :). It will traverse every subdirectory (folder) on the specified drive and give it the "DEFAULTVIEW=ICON" (or whatever you specify) attribute: -------------------------------[cut here]------------------------------------- /* Quick script to traverse and modify directories.*/ /* Written by Brad BARCLAY */ call RxFuncAdd 'SysLoadFuncs', 'RexxUtil', 'SysLoadFuncs' call SysLoadFuncs parse arg drive /***************************************************/ /* Note: the following variable may be set as */ /* follows: */ /* */ /* ICON - Opens in Icon View */ /* TREE - Opens in Tree View */ /* DETAILS - Opens in Details View */ /* DEFAULT - Opens in the classes */ /* default view. */ /***************************************************/ defview="ICON" /***************************************************/ /* Program starts here... */ /***************************************************/ "@dir" drive||"\ /AD /S /F | RXQUEUE" DO FOREVER UNTIL QUEUED()=0 PULL dir say "Modifing directory: "||dir rc=SysSetObjectData(dir, "DEFAULTVIEW="||defview) if rc=0 then say "Failed!" end /* do */ exit -------------------------------[cut here]------------------------------------- Again, copy and save it however you wish (I call it FXALLFLD.CMD). Specify the drive letter (with colon) as the only parameter, ie: fxallfld c: If you don't specify a drive letter, it will just assume the current drive. Run this command once for each drive letter you have, and it should fix everything up in one fell swoop (note hwever that every folder is going to have the exact same default - in tihs case ICON view. If you had any folders which had a different icon view, you'll have to go back and change them manually. Note however that this shouldn't affect drive objects at all). > For anyone who can help me through this, I will give you 50+ MB web/ftp > space on my T1 server.

In this case, it would be easier to pipe the output of a DIR /AD /S /F through RXQUEUE and PULL directories off the queue iteratively, and then run SysSetObjectData against them. Best of all, with this solution you don't need any third-party tools or utilities - RXQUEUE comes bundled with OS/2.

So the setting _does_ matter. I never mind being corrected. I do get a bit miffed when contradicted incorrectly. That BIOS setting affects nothing but how the amount of total system memory is reported. This report is done once during bootup, and never again. It can have no impact on memory performance, and it doesn't. Any difference you saw was due either to different system activity at the time of the benchmark, or a different configuration change (such as changing a BIOS setting to cache more than 64MB, which would have a substantial impact on memory performance). -- - Mike Remove 'spambegone.net' and reverse to send e-mail. --- WtrGate+ v0.93.p7 sn 165 * Origin: Usenet: TLF (1:109/42) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: jdparker@erols.com 10-Nov-99 23:16:18 To: All 11-Nov-99 03:54:24 Subj: Problem printing from EPM to HP 682C printer.

This is obviously a bug in the Omni driver - the bottom clip for letter size paper is incorrect. Fortunately there is this work around.

From: Steve Drewell My Warp 4 machine won't stay up for much more than a few days before it dies and the longest it's ever been up before crashing is 9 days. Most of the time it's just sitting there running the RC5DES client but it gets "proper" use during the evenings and weekends. Whenever it crashes, it seems more than coincidental that Comm/2 4.61 is running. Last night, after 4 days, it died and Process Commander showed that netscape.exe was trying to exit and so was the first instance of pmshell. Nothing could be done except reboot. Because I'm just a home user, it's not critical but it is annoying. I often hear people say that their machines have been up for weeks or months but why my machine won't stay up is beyond me. Maybe if I didn't run Comm/2 I'd not have a crash but that's not not really an option as there is no viable alternative to Comm/2. So, am I barking up the wrong tree? Is Comm/2 to blame or not? Has anyone else who keeps their machine running constantly had reason to suspect that Comm/2 brings down their machine? Any advice will be appreciated.

Whatever is reported by DosQuerySysInfo()'s QSV_TOTPHYSMEM is what OS/2 has been told by the BIOS is the installed amount of memory. If your utilities are reporting 64MB, then that's what OS/2 sees. Going by the information I've seen posted, it would seem that the Phoenix BIOS people have gotten rid of a reporting mechanism used by countless OS's, and replaced it with one used only by Windows, to be compliant with an arbitrary Intel design standard; ironically for a board which can't even use an Intel processor. So, either your board maker will get the BIOS patched to behave correctly, or IBM will patch OS/2 to use the proprietary memory reporting mechanism. -- - Mike Remove 'spambegone.net' and reverse to send e-mail. --- WtrGate+ v0.93.p7 sn 165 * Origin: Usenet: TLF (1:109/42) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: reply_to_the_newsgroup@please.com 11-Nov-99 11:41:26 To: All 11-Nov-99 10:44:24 Subj: Re: How to use more than 64MB under OS/2?

Well, the test was run under _exactly_ the same conditions. Maybe the switch also changed other things. The motherboard is an ASUS P/I-P55T2P4.

The last entry in the RSUINST log was 'starting os2serv.exe...' I ran os2serv from the command line with the parameters in the log and all ran fine and went to normal EOJ.

So that just the data can be restored from backup. Admittedly, Warp3 to 4 upgrade was and is nicer, when it works. But sometimes on some hardware/software combos it flat out won't work. In these cases, the ugly, labor-intensive full install is the only option. Generally, the end result is a cleaner more stable Warp system, so there is at least one upside.

So the setting _does_ matter. Can we have your numbers? I got very minor differences either way. Results with the OS/2 setting on are on the left. K6-2 300, Asus T2P4, 128MB EDO RAM. Come to think of it, I guess it's within the realm of possibility that some motherboard might use different memory timings depending on that setting. Can't imagine why, though.

You haven't seen me posting about Communicator, have you? The magic bullet did seem to be to have a healthy size RAM cache & a small, symbolic token size disk cache. I have had practically no problems at all since I did that. I've run the thing up to about 20 simultaneous instantiations & it doesn't hiccup. This is a bit counter-intuitive. Disk caching should be slower than RAM caching, but it seems like if there's no disk cache at all, the fallback processing takes longer. Similarly, when you have graphics loading disabled (not animations, graphics) it seems to take Communicator longer to decide to put all those little missing-graphic graphics on the page than it takes to download the graphics & display them. Another paradox. I must admit that very occasionally, perhaps once or twice a week, I get that annoying SYS3175 trap that has been posted many times. I finally caved in <:-)) to Jeff Kobal's repeated claims that these are a problem in OS/2 itself when I noticed that every once in a while I'd get what looks like the exact same trap from things when Communicator wasn't even running here. I'm reading people saying things about post-FP12 fixes to PMMERGE & so on. So maybe there's some movement on that front. I have found that when trying to play Real Audio, I occasionally get strange delays & Windows faults. But I'm reasonably certain this is because a lot of sources are now putting out G2 & the older 5.0 RAPlayer just gags on them. But I have seen the dreaded Communicator is not responding Enter/Cancel screen. And I've hit Enter. AND COMMUNICATOR CLOSES AND MY SYSTEM CONTINUES TO RUN!!! So I reopen Communicator & surf somewhere else. Working as designed, at long last, I'd say. I'm using C/2 4.61 with 16Meg RAM cache, 128K disk cache, graphics loading/Java/Javascript enabled.

Hmmm - I think that might still be a bit extreme. What might work is to simply deregister and re-register the WPFolder class. That would hopefully set it back to its defaults - but to be ohnest, I don't know what it would do to or for your folder instances :). Something you can try to see if it will help is a non-destructive MAKEINI. Run it from within the WPS (through an OS/2 Command prompt window), and rebuild your OS2SYS.INI. Running it from under the WPS is generally onn-destructive, and it *might* help. One query: do you have any third-party add-on tools installed which override the default WPFolder object? Anything like Object Desktop or anything? I still think you can fix things (with some help) without resorting to anything hugely drastic. If the above doesn't help any, let me know and I'll pull out my OS/2 WPS programming reference sometime this weekend and whip up an EXE for you which will (hopefully :) fix the problem.

Common practice on IBM testcase server is that all unofficial fixes posted there will expire in 2-3 days and removed from the server. You will no longer find any of the fixes I mentioned at testcase.

Removing verdana brought Russian back there, and it works Yep, I was hit by this problem several times. Looks like web designers could not even think about somebody running under a totally different OS with a different set of default fonts installed. There's two workarounds for this problem: either disable the use of document-specific fonts in Comm preferences, or install the necessary (truetype) fonts. Can be a problem to find Cyrillic ones, I take them from my Russian version of Windows... >with both proportional and fixed fonts with 'helv' and 'system mono' >in NS.

Titlebars may need prepared CP866 in config.sys to show Russian characters. Actually, OS/2 NLS support always was kinda black magic... >Hmmm. I'm using 'codepage=850,1004', 'country=044', >'devinfo=kbd,us...' It is a US keyboard on a UK system. I don't use IBM CP1004 is roughly equivalent to MS Windows 1251 Cyrillics codepage (but not exactly, some characters vary). The problem is, there is no default way in OS/2 to make a program use any predefined set of NLS resources, like codepages, fonts, etc. PM programs actually can use and switch between _any_ NLS resources installed on the system, but only if programmer has chosen to do this. By default, programs which were not coded explicitely to use codepage switching, will use default primary codepage on startup, and can also use default secondary one (as defined in CODEPAGE statement in CONFIG.SYS), but none of the other CP's available on the system. Many modern PM programs can switch between non-default codepages, among these - Comm (all versions), MR2Ice, Openchat/2, PMMail, PMInews, ProNews. However, sometimes they may show odd behaviour in some parts. I can hardly blame developers for that - it's a real nightmare to test programs in all possible combinations of 35 NLS settings or more. >anything out of NS except the browser - PMMail, ProNews, and MrEd for >writing html.

To read mail from others, she just >drops either a koi8 or cp1251 font on the message, depending who sent >it. French or German characters are fine with the default helv font. Changing font to read mail is not very elegant solution :). In fact, this is a hack. The proper algorithm which a program should support is to decode any external document received in an alien codepage into OS/2 native standard Cyrillics codepage (CP866), view, edit and/or create it using system default CP866 resources, and then convert it again into an external codepage just before sending it out. Most recent versions of internet client can do this quite seamlessly. I use Com 4.61, MR2Ice, PMMail, PMINews, ProNews, Openchat/2, and all of them work almost perfectly with Russian. The problem is - we have at least 4 different but equally popular codepages for Cyrillics! These are: CP866 (DOS & OS/2), Win-1251 (MS Win), KOI8-R (Unix world), MacOS. The official "transport" text encoding for Internet is KOI8-R, but it is commonly violated by Windows users, in preference of Win-1251 codepage. Some clients support Win-1251 as external codepage also (Comm 4.61), some needs additional utilities to decode it. I can send you a REXX script to make PMMail read Win-1251 properly if you wish. >ProNews has individual settings pages for each ng, so it can be set to >proper Russian settings for one ng and Latin-1 settings for other >ng's. It runs in cp850, and shows Cyrillic fine like this. Because ProNews can switch to CP866 on itself. It does not depend on system default CP's in CONFIG.SYS. Same is true for PMMail and MR2Ice. The latter can even override the default CP on startup (via command line switch). >MrEd can switch at any time between the default cp (whatever your >system has) and a cp 1004 setting. This is very useful for writing >Cyrillic, just by setting Chump to translate to that keyboard (you >switch keyboards by hitting both 'shifts' together), and using a cp >1251 font. You can also set it to koi8 and use a koi8 font. I use Layer for keyboard switching here. It can only switch between system default codepages though. But as I told, proper way to deal with KOI8 text is to decode it into CP866 first... >> NC4.61 has much improved Cyrillics support, I'd say - almost perfect. >> It can display Russian text properly in form fields, buttons, >> titlebar, almost everywhere.

Sure. Open your printer objects properties notebook, Select the "Text Format" tab, select "Font" as the text format option, then press the "Change Font" button. Using tis, you should be able to print using whatever installed font you want when using FTE, or any other editor wihch prints as plain text.
