-
- Can OS2You be used with DOS character apps running under OS2?
- Specifically, WordPerfect 5.1 (DOS) and dBase IV v1.1 (DOS).
-
- For purposes of evaluation, I have OS2You running on an OS2 box,
- null-modem cabled to a DOS box running DRDOS 6.0.
-
- Using the Lanterm emulator on the DOS box, I have proper access to the
- OS2 command line, everything working OK insofar as I know. I can start
- new tasks, switch tasks, no problem.
-
- I can switch to WordPerfect or dBase, and the apps. work EXCEPT that
- they have no cursor! Well, there *is* a cursor, but is sits dead,
- usually in the center of the screen.
-
- If OS2You will work, it could be just what I need. If it won't work,
- it won't work . . ..
-
- Any assistance will be appreciated. Thank you in advance!
