=========================================================================== BBS: MSI HQ BBS Date: 05-29-92 (17:22) Number: 16275 From: TOM TCIMPIDIS Refer#: 16275 To: ALL Recvd: YES Subj: OS/2 with Wildcat Conf: (1) WILDCAT! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- For those of you who have asked, here are the pertient items that I had to change in OS/2 2.0 to run with Wildcat. These items differ from the stock installation that OS/2 2.0 does... The Dos Settings that were changed are the most important for Wildcat... I HIGHLY recommend that anyone using OS/2 order the optional reference manual (about $35) as it has a wealth of information in it that is not in the documentation or online help that came with OS/2. There is a coupon in the OS/2 package that has ordering details... FILES=125 BUFFERS=32 DISKCACHE=4096,LW (Cache size in K) MAXWAIT=4 (seconds for deferred writes) SHELL=C:\OS2\MDOS\COMMAND.COM C:\OS2\MDOS /E:512 /P (Environment bytes) DOS=HIGH,UMB DOS SETTINGS (these prevent OS/2 from switching away too soon): IDLE_SECONDS=20 (higher waits longer to switch) IDLE_SENSITIVITY=100 (higher is less sensitive-less switching) For those who don't know where to find the Dos Settings, here is how: 1) Every object has an associated settings file. 2) Click ONCE on the object for your Wildcat window. 3) Click on Open. 4) Click on Settings. 5) Modify your settings for Dos. 6) Repeat for your other Wildcat windows... -Tom --- þ OLX 2.2 þ MOG-UR'S EMS | L.A., CA | 818-366-1238/8929 | 16.8K D/S
