- I'm running Microsoft Mail 2.1c for Windows in seamless, and it works
- fine except the WPS desktop can't find the icon. I've got the program
- object set up correctly (it does work) but the icon is the default
- double-hung window instead of a mail slot picture. It's as if OS/2
- looks in WINMAIL.EXE and can't find the icon resource.
-
- Strangely, though, if I start WIN-OS/2 full-screen, then it DOES pick
- up the icon correctly when making a program item. This is really
- weird. I've never seen any other Windows programs that the WPS has
- any problem with.
-
- Maybe this is part of the explanation, but I *think* WinMail 2.1c is a
- Windows 2.X compatible program. At least the general look'n'feel of
- the interface and controls feels 2.X-ish. I don't believe it was even
- written by Microsoft.
-
- So is this some known problem? Anybody else seen it? Thanks...
