- First let me say that I have been using OS/2 2.0 since 6.167 (last
- October) and I won't use anything else. But I am a little concerned
- about the number of WPS bugs that were not fixed in the SP. Here's
- my preliminary list:
-
- 1) multiple entries int the "create another" menu option.
- 2) unable to use "settings" button for "Available menus" in
- menu tab.
- 3) Command ref. and Rexx information not hashed when opened.
- 4) System clock does not stay across boots.
- 5) System Error popup (when "drive not ready") can be moved all
- over the screen and it DOES NOT fix the background (ie. have
- many copies of window all over). Pressing button clears them all.
- 6) Funny characters in object names (certain dialogs - such as Find)
- when a CR-LF is in it.
- 7) extra 2 templates (I know this is in the Readme)
- 8) Network folder appears in TREE VIEW ONLY of boot drive
- under desktop folder EVEN IF YOU HAVE NO NETWORK!. Not in
- icon view though.
- 9) system clock still has font trouble.
- 10) DRIVES: "create another" on folder A that has many sub-folders.
- Specify a new name for this folder and indicate parent (A).
- Notice how it has forgotten about most of the sub-folders.
- Refresh does nothing, must reload drive object.
-
- Now for my list of non-shell bugs:
-
- 1) Klondike's cards are screwed up. Most are all red.
- 2) OS/2 chess has funny boxes around the pieces.
- 3) French characters under WIN-OS2 are still using wrong
- spacing. Now they are too close together.
- 4) JetFighter II get sys3176 "illegal instruction at 00000004".
- 5) cannot load math emulator EM87.COM in a dos session. available
- on wuarchive.
- 6) Star Control completely locks up system (except mouse) when started
- in a window.
-
- However, I do find that WIN-OS2 starts faster, more
- VGA DOS programs run in a window (and all are faster), seamless bugs
- seem to be fixed, more consistent use of colors, and no more black
- icons!
-
- My system is a 386-40 8 meg, ATI XL 1 Meg, VGA resolution. SP (golden)
- installed over un-modified GA installation.
