- I am looking for an OS/2 app to simplify the task of tuning the set-
- tings for DOS applications. I recognize that this message is going
- to encourage a number of people to fire off flames telling me to use
- only native OS/2 apps. Please attempt to restrain yourselves. I
- choose to use OS/2 as "a better DESQview than DESQview" and when I
- find a native OS/2 app which is as inexpensive, flexible, functional
- and uncrippled as its corresponding DOS app, I shall buy it.
-
- For some reason, which I cannot fathom, a number of OS/2 shareware
- authors are apparently unaware of the ASP or its policies, producing
- egregiously crippled or limited pre-registration versions. Perhaps
- it is that ASP members have not yet begun, as a large group, writing
- OS/2 specific applications.
-
- I would like to be able to fire off an OS/2 app with a DOS app as a
- parameter to it. Have the OS/2 app "manage" the DOS app by setting
- up a session with virtually all of the settings at full or on. The
- manager app would, upon the DOS app's exit, calculate how much RAM
- was required, including the other versions of memory. It should
- also determine whether comm ports were touched, etc., producing a
- list (or file) of DOS settings appropriate for the app.
-
- Then I would like an OS/2 app which would allow me to visually see
- the priority of a DOS app and allow me to easily set/change it. I
- have tried PROCS, PSTAT and SETPRI, but these are not as focused or
- simple to use as what I am looking for.
-
- These two apps would be reasonable pieces of shareware. I would be
- one of the first to register them, assuming that the registration fee
- is not outrageous and I can evaluate the program fully before I send
- in my registration fee. Regards, Mikey
