Hi, I am using OS/2 Warp as well. However, and as seen by a friend, OS/2 runs
very slow compared with Windows 3.1. I was just wondering what your system is
since mine's a 486DX33 with 8MB RAM. Or is it that your are using OS/2
versions of the above mentioned programs. Like you I have found that OS/2 is
true multitasking but once in a while the system still can hang up and it's
complete reinstallation again. Anyway I would apprieciate any hints to get
Warp running faster. John Chan Pediatrics

I take it you are running windoze programs as well? did you install WORKS?, if
you did this tends to slow the systems with lesser amounts of memory down.

My home machine is a 486/33 8MB ram, and I'm still using 2.11 on it. I don't r
un any windoze programs at home so I can't directly compare speed differences.
My work machine is a GW2K P5-60, with 16MB ram. but I can tell you today that
when configuring a machine using WFWG3.11(486/66) I was impatient waiting for i
t to run. and I use my home machine everyday, so this isn't a function too muc
h Pentium use. So I would have to wonder if you are using WORKS, and what prog
rams you are running to make WARP seem slow.

The programs I mentioned in my message were ALL windoze programs with the excep
tion of the kermit program, it is native OS/2. and as soon as I get my routing
figured out I won't be using it either. I'll use WEB Explorer, and the rest of
the OS/2 tpc/ip tools.

any more Q's fire away.

Avoid the Darkside, Use OS/2 2.1

You'll never use a kludgy gui on top of an interupt handler
again. That's windoze/dos in case you don't know.
