- "I work for a small company developing under OS/2 1.3, using Microsoft
- C 6.0, and Microsoft OS/2 Presentation Manager Toolkit 2.1. We are
- converting to OS/2 2.0. We are interested in improving our support
- environment and would be very grateful for answers to a few questions:
-
- 1) What are the relative values of the following sources regarding the
- resolution of problems and the recommendation of solutions in the OS/2
- environment?
- - comp.os.os2 newsgroups
- - Compuserve fora
- - IBM Helpware
- - IBM OS/2 Bulletin Board
- - IBM programmers & developers groups
- - IBM Boca Raton programmer's club?
- - any other notable sources?
-
- 2) What are some recommended patches, upgrades, kluges, etc. to tidy up
- OS/2 2.0, PM Toolkit 2.1, and MSC 6.0? What are other recommended
- development applications?
-
- 3) Here are a couple of sample questions that we are looking to answer:
-
- How does one use cvp to debug a Presentation Manager
- application? We generally get a segmentation violation or an
- unfriendly lockup when we try to do so. Is there a debugger
- out there for OS/2 that is more robust?
-
- Why when changing a file or folder name on the OS/2 2.0
- desktop does it often take several attempts to actually
- complete the change?
-
- Any and all suggestions, recommendations, answers, redirections, lies,
- and rumors are graciously welcomed in our current support vacuum.
