- I found the same solution (i.e. unsetting the DELDIR environment variable)
- for TRAP D's. They occured after installation of 2.1 Beta over my GA+SP
- system as soon more than two files where deleted (two 'del x.y' cmds in a
- row resulted in a TRAP D as well as a 'del *.*', no matter if OS/2 or DOS
- session).
- The system was almost useless at that point. Running TCP/IP and having
- SENDMAIL receiving files generated a TRAP D almost every minute.
-
- Previously I had installed the 2.1 Beta in it's own partition and since
- it worked quite nicely, I decided to install it over my "production" system
- (after a backup, of course). But now I migrated the config.sys/autoexec.bat
- files of the existing GA+SP which had 'SET DELDIR...' lines. Funny, why are
- these lines always REMed out after new installations of OS/2 ?? When I
- unREMed the lines in the separate installation of the 2.1 beta the TRAP D
- showed up as well.
-
- Removing the 'SET DELDIR....' lines from config.sys and autoexec.bat made
- my day and the 2.1 beta runs flawlessly now (esp. Win 3.1 Enhanced mode, I
- love it :-)) with my previous desktop !!!
