Subject: [os2genau] New versions - updates to OS/2 Warp CP and Warp server e-Biz CP

For those of us running OS/2 Warp Convienience Pack, it may be
of interest that a new fix pack is planned for July and and Convienience
Pack 2 for the August timeframe. I know this is for the Server and
believe it is also for the client version.

Whereas the Fixpack is simply fixes to bring components up to the 
current level. CP-2 will include new applications that have been
released through the Software Choice website, such as the IBM
Browser and the IBM HTTP Server (presumably only in the Server
CP-2).

Subject: [os2genau] Warp "enhancers"

As you will have seen from a previous post I am getting hangs on some
of my Warp systems, especially when doing things like opening Drives
through the graphical Drives manager.

Well, I have several "enhancers" installed and while these have been 
OK up until now, perhaps they are no longer compatible with the current
(FP15) Build of Warp ?  

Since I have disabled these programs I have not had a hang.

The programs in question are:

X-File
Warp Enhancer
Candybar
NPS WPS Enhancer
LW-Switch

Has anyone else experienced problems with any of these under FP15 
or CP versions of OS/2 Warp 4 ?

Also can anyone recommend an alternative ?

What I'd like to have are the following features from these packages:

Better file open dialog with the ability to create directories as in
X-File.

Extended Shutdown dialog with Shutdown and Shutdown & restart as options
as in Warp Enhancer.

Mouse pointer centres to active button on dialog with focus as in NPS
WPS

Window shadows as in NPS WPS would be "nice" but not essential.

Alt+tab to show list of open windows tht can be switched to (like in
W95) and
as in LWSwitch.

The main point is that these additions should (ideally) be from one
product that
is less likely to imapact the stability of Warp s  WPS.

Thanks for any suggestions

Cheers/2

Ed.

Have not used/tried out for years, was not impressed.

Used to cause some kind of erratic behaviour, but as I did not bother to continue 
with its use, I cannot recall what I found wrong with it.  I know the early versions
did not impress me much.

>Candybar

Unfortunately the later and more recent versions of CandyBarz caused erratic lockups
and unexplained slowdowns on my system.  This was at Fixpack #12 and #13 levels.
I have not used CandyBarz since.

>NPS WPS Enhancer

NPS WPS Enhancer is my number one utility/enhancement.  Should be made compulsory
for IBM/eCS to install from scratch.  Must have utility.

>LW-Switch

No problem. Still in use here, although in some screens stops working and then will start
working again.  I think ok but does not cause any problems.
Definitely needs more programming work.

Although I have just this minute, uninstalled XWorkPlace, you might want 
to try the very latest version.  It has not given me any problem except
for its own version of a rapid shutdown and has a lot of features.
The advantage is that it is still being developed and not dead in the water
like Xfile and CandyBarz.

I only uninstalled because:-
(a) I am going to try the later version soon,
(b) I wanted to see how well WarpIn handled the uninstall procedure.
Conclusion, uninstall was relatively smooth and can be done by brain dead
Windows user on second introduction to Os2.!  Although it still needs a little
work before it deserves the title "Os2 Universal Installer/Uninstaller".

I think WarpIn is very promising.

My system is Warp 4 fixpack #15, Device Fixpack #2, with every Daniella driver
she has written installed.  
Also using Latest IBM Approved kernal fixes, "W40508.ZIP" _NOT_ the Testcase ones. 

Programs include RSJ 3.57 and BA2000 server version backup utility,
Henk's Os2Fat32 drivers and everything I can load/install/run in Os/2.

Hope this helps,

Regards,
BobT.

Thanks for your comments Bob. I'm at exactly the same code level,
including 
kernal, so your conclusions are very valid for my situation.

 I believe there is also now integration of the WarpMedia product into
X-Workplace
through a "widget"? - Perhaps I got mixed up with X-somethingelse. Any
way I'm
off to download test and if stable and useful register this product.

I'm using FP15 too. I'm using X-file, Styler/2, X
Workplace, LWSwitch, OD2 (archiving utilities, Multiple
desktops, object netscan). My system is the most stable it
has ever been! I stopped using NPSWPS when I changed from a
Matrox Mill to a TNT2 as I started getting lockups when
opening folders. I've registered a copy of dialog enhancer
but haven't got around to reinstalling it under FP15 for no
good reason really. I got lots of lockups with candybar
too.

Subject: [os2genau] Help: Drive letter allocation
Date: Sat, 9 Jun 2001 14:01:05 +0930

Hello ll,

I've just come up against a problem that I could use some advice on.

I was having problems with the wifes W98 machine and eventually tracked it
down to a hardware/software incompatibility with the 1gig SCSI drive I had
installed as a secondary.  To cut a long story short I pulled a 1gig IDE
drive out of my machine and chucked it in, reloaded W98 and the machine is
running no probs.

The problem I have is that in my haste to fix the machine I forgot that the
1gig IDE had my boot manager installed on it.  It was originally the C:
drive (klutz).

I put the 1 gig SCSI back in my machine but I now have a completely fritzed
drive letter allocation, no boot manager and an unbootable system.  To add
to my problems booting my machine from install floppies and running fdisk
will tell me that the MBR record of one of the other IDE drives is
unreadable.

Previous setup
Disk 1     C:     1.0gig  IDE     Fat16    Bootmanager + W98
Disk 2     D:     4.3gig  IDE     HPFS    Data
Disk 3     E:     4.3gig  IDE     HPFS    Data
Disk 4     F:     2.0gig  SCSI   HPFS    OS/2

fdisk now gives me
Disk 1    C:    4.3   IDE     HPFS     Data   previously  E:
Disk 2    D:    2.0   SCSI   HPFS     OS/2  previously  F:
Disk 3            1.0   SCSI                           previously wifes
machine
Disk 4            4.3   IDE                             previously D:

I have updated the install disks with the IDEDASD patch from IBM so the
larger drives are not the problem and I am aware that I am probably going to
have to reload the lot from scratch, but I was thinking I will ditch W98
completely and run it as an all OS/2 machine.  Can anyone offer me any
suggestions about how to either get my previous OS/2 install running again
or if I have to re-install putting it back on one of the SCSI drives again.
I am at a bit of a loss as to how to do all this and would appreciate any
assistance.  To make it even curlier I also want to save all the data that
currently resides on the IDE drives as it took me ages to download some of
those songs from Napster and I can't get them that way anymore.

TIA

Subject: Re: [os2genau] Help: Drive letter allocation

To put the bootmanager back (w9x disables it) boot diskettes - fdisk 
and delete the 4 MB ish boot manager "partition" if shown, then add
bootmanager.

When fdisk complains about corrupt partition table entries, it often
means that the definition on an IDE drive in the systems bios has been
changed. There are two or three ways bios can see drives greater than
540 MB - could you have changed this - possibly by doing an
autoconfigure
of installed drives ??

To get data off before trying any "patches" to the partition - see if
you
have space on a drive (not the primary) and see if you can copy the C:
drive when you have booted from floppy.

Subject: [os2genau] Sane v1.05 compiled for OS/2

Hi All,
I've now recompiled the 20010605 CVS snapshot of Sane v1.0.5 to also include an 
updated Canon backend to support the Canon FB620S scanner.  

All the credit for making Sane 1.0.5 so easy to compile under OS/2 must go to Franz 
Baken who has managed to get most of the changes for compiling under OS/2 
included in the base code, and has documented the other changes at 
http://home.tiscalinet.de/fbakan/sane105.htm

Thanks also to Ed Durrant for his patience and help whilst I tried to compile Canon 
support into Sane.

Please note from Franz's webpage that the following backends won't work due to them 
using the fork() (ie threading) command.  Further source changes will be required for 
these backends to work:
agfafocus as6e avision coolscan hp m3096g microtek2 mustek nec pie plustek qcam 
sharp snapscan sp15c tamarack
umax

No documentation or anything is included in the zip file - it is a pure binary release and 
requires the latest EMX runtime to use it.

Zip file can be found at: 
ftp://psmedley.dyndns dot org:21029/incoming/sane-1.0.5-newcanon.zip

Note to anyone on the Sane-OS2 mailing list that downloaded the previous build I 
announced yesterday, the only change is the addition of Canon FB620S support.

Enjoy!

Regards,

Paul.

ED,

I think you have missed something here.

Both Micheal and myself have had very bad experience with CandyBarz.

Warp Enhancer on mine was problems, Michael did not try it.

NPSWPS on my system is great, Michael's was problems.


I think the vote is for CandyBarz to be destroyed with all haste.
Then test your system.
Next would be WE if some problems persist.
I would remove NPSWPS as last resort, after disbling any functions that may
be duplicated or overlapping by any of the other remaining enhancers.

OOPS.
This later point of duplicated functions has reminded me that I DID have
a minor problem with NPSWPS 2-3 years ago.  Cannot remember what it was,
but I know I turned off one or two of the functions that were in part 
duplicated in another enhancer, at that time.  
Still cannot remember what the conflict was though.

Regards,
BobT.

Yes, my starting point was to drop ALL enhancers (so including

I'm now running X-Workplace plus X-File (sorry I like it) and lswitch.

WE and NPS WPS are out.

So far so good except X-Workplace has SO MANY options, it whole

I had much the same trouble in 123

Found that the printer driver was defaulted to print the selected cells 
instead of the whole page.

As for installing the driver, you need to follow the direction 
pendanticly. And as the directions are slightly ambigious or unclear it 
generally takes a few attempts before complete success.

There should not be any message about creating a printer object, because
that should already exist. You are only changing the driver for that 
object.

There is an easy way to install a printer driver which creates a new 
printer object on the desktop, maybe that is what you are trying to do. 
The disadvantage with that method is that your original driver still 
exists and confuses the hell out of some applications.

Dennis.

<Sigh> for NPSWPS.

I'm with Bob T on this - it is a MUST HAVE for me here, and the
greatest little features are the mouse & pointers: wrap pointer at
screen border, move pointer to focus, activate window at pointer.

I can't stand the activate window at pointer or wrap
pointer at screen border, but I really appreciate the 
move pointer to focus. Can X-Workplace do this ?
