Subject: [os2genau] Kernals for eCS - UNI or Warp4 ?

Hi All,

I have a single pentium 3 machine running eCS GA v1.0 and wish to
pose the question:- Which kernel "UNI" or "Warp4" should I use.?


I assume I should use the w40914.zip as eCS is probably at 
a code base level equivalent to IBm Client Convenience Pack.


I have actually tried them both, and both equally seem to make a 
very slight improvement over the GA kernels. Using uni0914.zip and w40914.zip.

I am currently on "UNI" and cannot tell the difference between them at all.


Perhaps Ian Manners could advise, are you there Ian?

Regards,
BobT.

Strictly speaking, the Warp 4 Kernal w40914.zip though a lot of
people are using the UNI kernal as there logic is that eCS is
based on WSeB. Both work.

Remember that IBM have bought the code base together as of
Warp4 FP13.

Remember that w40914.zip is a testcase kernal (works fine for me),
and that w40508.zip (or UNI version) is the last 'official' release from
IBM.

The UNI kernal contains some Server specific code, thats the only
difference, and unless you have a program (example, TCP/IP using DDNS etc)
that will use these server calls, there is no difference.

Just got to this line :-)

Thanks Ian for quick response.

I will probably go back to the Warp4 kernels, just to be kosher and correct.

One advantage I forgot to mention, the Warp 4 kernal uses slightly less
memory, which I guess with todays PC isnt important.

Remember to read the readme for the latest kernal, the CLOCKSCALE=4
in your config does speed up Netscape, seems to make Apache more
lively as well.

G'day all,

Thanks for your replies re connecting OS/2 WARP 4.0 to OptusatHome.  Am I
right in thinking that there is very little I can download to update my
system unless I purchase a "Software Choice" subscription from IBM?  Can
anyone let me know what such a subscription costs in Australia?  I
cannot seem to find the cost information on IBM Australia's website.

Cheers

It works OK here.  I also tried it using the nightly build from the
first, and it was OK.  Maybe your computer just doesn't like Don Burke?
