- *********************************************************
-
- We are pleased to announce that the new 32-bit version of 4OS2, version 1.1,
- has been uploaded to library 10 as 4OS232.ZIP, and should be available
- shortly.
-
- 4OS2/32 is a significant upgrade from 4OS2 1.0, and offers a number of
- features and enhancements, including:
-
- * Support for all 4OS2 1.0 features.
-
- * Full support for 32-bit flat memory model.
-
- * Improved 32-bit performance.
-
- * Control of DIR and SELECT time display format (AM/PM vs. 24-hour).
-
- * DEL /F option avoids copying files to the DELDIR directory.
-
- * DIR switch to specify the use of last access, creation, or last
- write time in directory displays and sorts on HPFS drives.
-
- * START allows specification of DOS settings from a file when
- starting DOS sessions.
-
- * New WINDOW command controls the 4OS2 window size / state from the
- prompt or from a batch file.
-
- See the 4OS2-32.DOC file (in 4OS232.ZIP) for full details and on-line help for
- all new features. 4OS2/32 works only with OS/2 2.0, and cannot be used under
- OS/2 1.x.
-
- If you are a registered user of 4OS2 1.0 you can download 4OS2/32 version 1.1
- and BRAND it using your existing BRAND program and validation code.
-
- 4OS232.ZIP is organized as an update from 4OS2 1.0. You must have 4OS2 1.0
- installed before you can install 4OS2/32.
-
- In a few weeks we expect to release version 1.1 of 4OS2, including many of the
- above capabilities, for OS/2 1.x users. At that time we will upload
- integrated files which include both the 16- and 32-bit versions of 4OS2 1.1.
-
- We encourage all 4OS2 users running under OS/2 2.0 to take advantage of this
- new 32-bit technology and the additional enhancements offered by 4OS2 version
- 1.1!
-
- Please post any questions about this new version via the proper
- Technical Support channels.
