Received: from CU-DIALUP-0709.CIT.CORNELL.EDU (CU-DIALUP-0709.CIT.CORNELL.EDU [132.236.155.23]) by postoffice.mail.cornell.edu (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id UAA14154 for <executor@nacm.com>; Thu, 30 Nov 1995 20:06:21 -0500 Date: Thu, 30 Nov 1995 20:06:21 -0500 Message-Id: <199512010106.UAA14154@postoffice.mail.cornell.edu> X-Sender: asc3@postoffice1.mail.cornell.edu X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Version 2.0.3 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: executor@nacm.com From: asc3@cornell.edu (Anton Callaway) Subject: E/D 1.99p6 and Warp Sender: owner-paper@nacm.com Precedence: bulk I apologize in advance if this message already made it to this list, but I never saw it and I understand that there were some temporary email problems, so here it is again... I finally downloaded 1.99p6 and yes, it still runs DNA Strider! Speedometer also runs now (when I boot to DOS). However, I would appreciate help/suggesstions/comments from any of you out there who are successfully running p6 under OS/2 Warp. Executor runs >>much<< faster under Warp, but has two (serious) problems at present. 1) Attempting to run Speedometer under Warp freezes E/D. ( I've got an ancient 386DX25 with 20 Megs RAM. Under DOS Speedometer gives me a "PR score" of 0.236... you can see why I want the speed increase I get from running it under Warp). 2) More importantly, I can't transfer files to/from my floppy drive (and it takes forever to read the files on a floppy) under Warp. I honestly can't remember if this happened under 1.99o. If I open a file on my floppy from within an application, it pulls up an empty file (no info is read or displayed from the file). If I try to copy a file to/from a floppy, it gives me an I/O error. Anyone know what Warp settings to change? (Or does the solution to these I/O errors require changes in E/D?) Thanks in advance, Anton
