Change the monitor to some generic no-name kind of VGA monitor, program the Savage4 to standard VGA, install the drivers and, after that, change back to your own monitor, and re-program the card to the higher frequency. AFAIK the VGA drivers must be initializing the card to the standard VGA video mode. This would imply the 31.5 Khz frequency. So the only thing you can do is use a monitor that will work at that frequency. Lorne Sunley --- WtrGate+ v0.93.p7 sn 165 * Origin: Usenet: MBnet Networking Inc.

They just boot to the command line, and run a program, which handles the video etc. I suspect that most embedded systems don't use PM, or WPS, just to avoid the overhead, and potential problems, of the GUI interface. I believe, you will need to have a video adapter (a fairly basic one, should do), running in VGA mode, possibly with the BIOS set to run without a display attached (same for keyboard, if that applies).

My system has an LS-120 as drive A with no real floppies installed, and I was able to install Warp4 and can quite happily boot from an LS-120 disk created by BOOTOS2. I did have problems with the install until I read a post that said that the "BASEDEV=IBMATAPI.FLT" statement had to be the last device statement in config.sys. When I made that change, the install proceeded without problems. I have no idea why this should make a difference, but it did in my case. All that's left on my wishlist for the LS-120 is for the restriction on creating PM or WPS setups with BOOTOS2 on drive A be relaxed ( Ken? ).

This has been dealt with in Jonathan de Boyne Pollard's excellent OS2CLU02.ZIP (on Hobbes and LEO). I quote from the excellent documentation: "Here are some of the main features of the OS/2 Command Line Utilities.  Date and time support is fully internationalised. All of the utilities that display dates and times do so by default using the date and time formats appropriate to the current country , but they can also be told to display them in the standard format specified by ISO standard number 8601, which uses a full 4-digit year and a fixed descending order of fields to avoid the ambiguity that the country-specific formats have for the first 31 years of each century (e.g. 01/02/03).  Full timezone support is provided using the TZ environment variable, which is in the standard POSIX 1003.1 (ISO/IEC 9445-1:1990) format, allowing multiple utilities to operate simultaneously in different timezones with different daylight savings time rules, which are applied automatically at exactly the right point without need for user intervention. The local time, required by the ANACLOCK, DIGCLOCK, SAYDATE, SETDATE, and TOUCH commands, can be configured to be in any arbitrary timezone and use any daylight savings time rules." I am using the time utility and can report that it works as advertised. My rollover at October 31 occurred without intervention and the next correction I ran with Time868 showed a correction of 8 seconds which is about my usual time loss in 24 hours. I have not had the time to play with the balance of this package much but it seems to be of a uniform high quality.

I have had the same problem as you with uncompressed or not so good compressed graphic formats like Tiff, Targa or Bitmap. If I use a good compressed graphics format like jpeg, gif or png the print is done very fast. I think the print time is depentent from the graphic file size. I have the problems only if I print text documents with graphics, if I print graphics only I have no problems. --------------------------- Oliver Poggensee OS/2 Config.sys Documentation Project http://www.opweb.de --- WtrGate+ v0.93.p7 sn 165 * Origin: Usenet: 1&1 Telekommunikation GmbH (1:109/42) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: jnichols@tcia.net 07-Nov-99 07:52:00 To: All 07-Nov-99 10:20:14 Subj: Re: Where to get Java?

I need help with Warp 4.0 and its installer. I D/L'ed the latest device driver from IBM's Device Driver site to update the install floppies so that they recognize hard drives bigger than 8 Gb. Now my 6.4 Gb hard drive looks like this:- PARTITION 1: FAT16 DOS622 830Mb PARTITION 2: FAT32 WIN 98 2.0GB 6X CD-ROM Primary Master 6.4Gb HDD Secondary Master LS-120 FDD Primary Slave (as yet not connected) The rest of the 3.0Gb-something freespace is idle. My question is this; does Warp have to installed first (i.e in the first 1Gb of the drive) because of the 1024 cylinder limit? Or can it be anywhere in the freespace of the drive? I was told by a few others that Warp needs to be in the first gig of hard drive space. Also, can the partition where Warp is installed be bigger than 1Gb or what? That's my other query. I'm asking all of this because I've been tearing my hair out trying to get Warp installed. A few others have done it successfully, so what's the deal with me? If anyone can assist me, offer some sane advice or a copy of their Warp 4.0 install floppies , I would be extremely grateful. Thanks all for reading.

I have had this problem before: it usually was usually the result of a bad or problem install. With out re-installing here is what I did. 1.

Add it to the SET LIBPATH=, I believe it was x:\TCPIP\DLL, I am not at the OS/2 machine right now. 2. If the dll does not exist on the system, then you will have to add/install TCPIP. This can be done by getting out the CD and from the CD run "install" or setup". This will bring up the networking and TCPIP installation program. From here its fairly straight forward, just pick the options you want and the rest will done/installed for you. This PROBLEM of not finding SETLOC1.dll used to happen frequently when I was still using my old 486 and I had to re-install OS/2 because of a drive crash and the install would go bad.

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.

HOW??? From: "Christopher E. Souter" Hi, everybody! I recently upgraded from Warp 3 to Warp 4. One reason why I did this is because I understood that, among other things, Warp 4 is supposed to support True Type fonts. However, I have searched all the online documentation and I just can't find any reference to True Type fonts anywhere. So, how do you install them? Is it through the Font Palette? Where do you find the True Type Fonts in a standard Warp 4 system? How do you get the Font Palette to recognise them?

To stop the Win-OS/2 Print Manager forever add the following to the "[boot]" section of system.ini: MAVDMAPPS= Once that is done you won't be bothered by Print Manager again.

Agreed that is arguably a more "logical" solution but the mainframe "arena" has invitably a more "disciplined structure" born out of a far longer history (and thus more mature) than the PC and you are invariably running different OS's as "guests"(eg TSO,VM,CICS,IMS etc etc all under MVS) and not constantly rebooting this type of "serious hardware" into disparate OS's invidually!..... Furthermore as "mainframe" hardware clocks (and synchronisation) tween local (and even remote) processor complexes is far more accurate and sophisticated than PC equivalent, then in a mixed PC/mainframe heterogenous network it is far easier to use various utilities to synch PC servers (and optionally individual workstation clients) to the the mainframe clock anyway.... In the SOHO PC scenario we have a high number of individual clients whose only "networked" connection is often only via an indeterminate remote dial-in capabilty running many individual disparate (and sometimes multiple OS's) individually and whose TZ functionality may or may not be fully POSIX compliant! But then presumably directly working for a major (plug compatable) mainframe hardware competitor to IBM I'm sure you're more than familiar with the above(and the fundamental differences tween the scenarios)..... . > Keith > > -- So many stupid people.

Fix packs do not have anything to do with JAVA. The JAVA fixes are available from: ftp://ftp.hursley.ibm.com/pub/java/fixes/os2/11/ and follow the links. If you are talking about Netscape Communicator 4.61, it does require JAVA 1.1.7, or better (which is probably the source of the "unsupported" message). 4.04 might also have a minimum required level. You can tell which version of JAVA is installed (and, if it is working), by going to a command line and type "JAVA -version" (no quotes, case is important). If you have one of the later versions, you can get a little more detail by typing "JAVA -fullversion" (no quotes, case is important). If you want to know which (if any) version Netscape (or any other browser) is using, go to: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Heights/9885/osapplet.html If you want to test how effective it is, go to: http://www.pendragon-software.com/pendragon/cm3/runtest.html Hope this helps... ****************************** From the PC of Doug Bissett doug.bissett at attglobal.net The " at " must be changed to "@" ****************************** --- WtrGate+ v0.93.p7 sn 165 * Origin: Usenet: Global Network Services - Remote Access Mail & Ne (1:109/42) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: bdanson@ctv.es 08-Nov-99 20:14:05 To: All 08-Nov-99 20:06:28 Subj: USB Scanner drivers From: bdanson@ctv.es (Bill Danson) I've been given a Primax Colorado USB9600 scanner to try by my local shop but I can't find drivers for OS/2 v. 3.0.

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: jstotz@canoemail.com 09-Nov-99 09:10:09 To: All 09-Nov-99 16:00:00 Subj: Hard drive errors From: James Stotz I'm trying to re-install our lan server on one of our computers. But, I'm having a problem with the lan fixpak. It stops saying that there are errors on the hard drive or the sel000.cfs is corrupt (or something like that). But, there are errors on the hard drive. The /F command on chkdsk doesn't work because c: is being used. So I went to utility disks, and everything seems O.K. But, booting up again shows errors again. I quickly installed a version on my d: drive, and ran chkdsk there. I see the sys0552 and sys0562 errors. I can run chkdsk c: /F, and the errors disappear. When I go back to the original (c:) partition, the errors return. I've reformated everything, installed it and made sure everything was O.K., but as soon as I install Warp 4, the errors come forth. I've done this many times before, but on this machine (which worked once already) nothings doing. Any help on how to permanently rid these errors from my system. It keeps saying it found lost data.

They all report UTC time - most from the RTC I believe. I do not have any applications that have a critical need for local time so where possible I have turned the UTC clocks off and ignore the rest. The timestamp on any new/saved files is UTC as is the timestamp on this message (I assume). This allows both my OS/2 and Linux installations to work in their intended fashion - with local time reported as an offset from UTC. According to ongoing messages in the Fidonet OS/2 conference the author is rewriting the OS/2 command processor as "pure" 32 bit rather than the current 16 bit and has a beta on the go. I believe that the command processor will address the problem of OS/2 programs calling the wrong time source (RTC rather than kernel - as described by the author - and far too technical for me).

I've noticed that a lot of the file manipulations from WPS (especially file deletion) are very slow. If anything, slower than my old PC running Warp 3 (with a CPU 15 times slower!). I thought it might be the DELDIR environment variable. In Warp 3 it is remmed out by default, so I thought that in Warp 4 perhaps it was set by default. But no, it is still remmed out in my config.sys. Does anyone else have any ideas why it is so slow?

To solve the problem I had to create, in the the printer driver properties, a new user defined paper size which changed the bottom clip from 0.59 inches to 0.50 inches and then create a connection using that paper size and then, in the printer properties, select that connection in the job properties. This is obviously a bug in the Omni driver - the bottom clip for letter size paper is incorrect. Fortunately there is this work around.

I'm afraid I don't really know... we're getting a bit beyond my expertise here. I was not aware of any limitation in OS/2 LAN Requester about subnets. It could also have something to do with the domain you're connecting to. Do the machines you want not have NETBEUI computer names? AFAIK, you shouldn't have to use IP names to connect to them. i.e., instead of "NET USE S: \\10.9.8.7\resource1" I'd expect "NET USE S: \\SERVER1\resource1", and SERVER1 should be a unique name on the LAN domain. This assumes you know the name of the server you need, of course. The network resources folder (forget exactly what it's called in Connect) should display icons for every visible machine on the LAN domain, and you wouldn't need to type in a name at all.

Something like this: comp 1 comp2 NIC1 NIC2 hub NIC | | | | | | -------- ----- | cable modem So the computer connected to the cable modem will have 2 network cards (NIC's). comp1 will have to do network address translation (NAT, also called IP-masquerading).

I've been running Warp for several years, and now that I'm getting back into OS/2 development again I am upgrading to Merlin and getting the latest versions of the development tools to install. The problem is that I've been working in a totally different environment lately, and haven't kept up on the technology, so I'm having some difficulty. I've got VACpp V3, and I have an as-yet uninstalled copy of VAJava, and I want to go to the latest Netscape, and I want to do something about that old PostRoad I was running... wait, let me tell you where I am. I downloaded FP12, and CSF 1.41 first. Then I installed Warp V4, an interesting experience that went _MUCH_ more smoothly after I disabled the hardware sensing. Note that I had been running Warp V4 at work for a few years, so I was reasonably familiar with the installation procedures and the software itself. However, at home I have no network card, so I was surprised that I was required to configure MPTN and a NULLNDIS mac, even though I initially decided not to install TCP/IP. Once I had the system stabilized, particularly getting my ZOOM modem recognized and working with SIO, I installed sound support, and TCP/IP. Once those all worked, I installed the fixpack, which went remarkably smoothly, and still permitted my system to work. (I had been unable to install fixpacks on Warp V3 because it blew away the video, so I had been running on Warp V3 for _many_ years without any fixes. Solid as a rock.) Ok, after getting FP12 loaded, I downloaded the latest fixes for DB2/2 and VACpp V3. I figured I had to get DB2/2 installed first, so the data access pieces for VACpp would install. So, DB2/2 is installed and its fixes, and VACpp is installed and its fixes. Next is -- ? I have downloaded the secure version of NC 4.61, I am downloading the JDK 1.1.8 and the Java runtime to go with it. I still have the VAJava to load, and I am trying to figure out the fixes for that.

I figure maybe the best route is to install VAJava, which likely has with it whatever I need to get Netscape going, so that I can then install the FI, which will let me install the new JRE and JDK over the top of the toolkit that VAJava requires.

This lets the net view command display the other domain's machines. The OTHDOMAINS parameter is listed in the [requester] section at the beginning of the file. AFAIK each domain in the list has to separated by a comma ie: othdomains=domone, domtwo This presumes that your RFCNAMES.LST has the IP addresses of the servers in that domain, or you have some other method that provides routing to the other sub-net for access to the servers through TCPBEUI.

FP12 is next, but get DD01 (they pulled the device driver upgrades out of the base FP about fp10 or 11). Next, uninstall Java 1.02 (OS2\INSTALL\INSTALL\Installed features, uninstall from the icon). Boot. Install Netscape 4.61 (no, it doesn't REQUIRE Java or FI). Next is FI 1.25, then Java 1.1.8.

Lotsa luck with the help system, especially with DB2 in the mix. That's the biggest mess I ever tried to deal with! Add VACPP 4.0 in and at least one help system is always broke. For Java tools, try these: http://www-4.ibm.com/software/ad/vajava/ http://www.ibm.com/java/jdk/index.html Those will get you going.

Upgrade to fixpack 12. The best and fastest OS/2. Fixpack 12 is up to two time faster as fixpack 1. 2. Run checkini to speed up the WPS operations. Checkini removes all inconsistencies and all irrelevant entries. 3. Remout the fist failure support technology in your config.sys REM RUN=C:\OS2\SMSTART.EXE 4. Use the correct hard disk driver. I use BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:0 /!BM /A:1 /!BM to disable the busmaster. Otherwise my harddisk is really slow. What is your chipset? Look for the correct harddisk driver.

Each system will be assigned its own IP address. A better way to do it is to use a 3rd party utility such as Injoy Firewall from FX Communications. Run that on the OS/2 computer, with 2 network cards in it. One card for the connection to the Cable Modem and the other card for the conection to the hub. The Injoy product will allow you to use "Network Address Translation" (NAT) so that any other system on the LAN can access the internet through the 1 connection. It also, in the case of Injoy Firewall, allows you to setup a Firewall to the other system on the LAN (though it won't protect the machine that the software is running on).

As I recall it Warp server actually supports more than dual chip machines- I may not be right though memory isn't what it used to be!

Try UNZIP -v on the file to see if it is in a normal zip format. Usually, OS/2 unzip will work fine with Windows self-extracting files. --- WtrGate+ v0.93.p7 sn 165 * Origin: Usenet: Norbionics (1:109/42) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: zachmcleod@earthlink.net 12-Nov-99 14:49:22 To: All 12-Nov-99 21:25:09 Subj: Real Modem From: Don McLeod I have a 3Com/USR Internet Voice/Fax modem.
