- 1/ Repeated system hangs with Trap d when deleting files. Solved by
- rem-ing out the deldir statment in config.sys. Annoying, since I
- now can't retrieve deleted files.
-
- 2/ I can't print from winos2 3.1. I've installed the printer carefully
- (HPLJ III), made it the default, diddled around generally, but still
- no luck. When I start Write, I get a message that the printer isn't
- connected (it *is*) or is wrongly installed, check print manager, etc.
- I have done all I can think of, with no luck.
-
- 3/ Nupop, the POP3 DOS client, causes some problems. It is a comms
- program, and is talking to my modem on COM3. Sometimes it causes
- the whole system to hang. (Yes, yes, I type ctrl+esc and wait
- forever, etc.). Cold boot required. This happens when nupop attempts
- to send mail out via modem.
- Another problem is that the keyboard dies -- but not the mouse. With
- the mouse I can continue to work with nupop, but the keys are completely
- dead. Other sessions and windows are fine.
-
- 4/ the statement DEVICE=C:\OS2\COM.SYS (3,38E,4) in config.sys had the
- bracketed stuff removed by the installation (beta over GA 2.0).
- Actually, com3 worked without the () stuff in GA+SP, but it doesn't
- in 2.1b.
-
- Overall impression: the 2.1b is (for me) a bit troublesome and not
- really faster. I use it because it has the Windows 3.1 enhanced support,
- and I need that to run SoftQuad's Author/Editor SGML editor.
