That is currently the only version with SMP (other than v2.11). It should work with one cpu if not for no other reason than : What would happen if one (or more) cpu's quit so that only one was working the system must still work. It would be reasonable for it to be somewhat slower.

In short, one of those opinions is that the OS/2 network file system (both servers and peer workstations) sees the WIN95 peer SMB structure and thinks it is a Win 3.x type machine, and thus assumes it uses 8.3 type filenames. I also have come across some inconsistencies in how a Win95 peer treats OS/2 HPFS file systems. I am unable (at least on my machine at work) to create any directories (either 8.3 or long) on a HPFS network drive using WINFILE.EXE in Win95, yet I am able to do so using both Win95 Explorer (both 8.3 and long) and the Win95 DOS text session interface. I would think that IBM may have to come up with a 'patch' to allow OS/2 machines to view Win95 long filenames properly. I have not yet tried the 'Network Neighbourhood Enabler' yet for Warp Server and I doubt that will do anything for OS/2 peer machines (both Warp Connect and Warp 4) in regard to viewing Win95 machines. Thanks for your info.

Too much time configuring Fido mailers I think. What I would like to do is write a rexx app of a sort to act as a daemon, but I would like a way to have it automaticly shut down, much as the network requester and other daemons do, after they are safe to do so. No idea how to handle that. Rexec from a windoze machine? Is that possible? ~~~ ReneWave v2.00 [NR] --- Renegade Forever! * Origin: Kaat's Keep / Salem, OR USA / 503-375-0567 (1:3406/7) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 207 OS2 LAN Ref: E4S00000 Date: 04/21/97 From: STEVE SWITZER Time: 08:26am \/To: MORTEN MERTNER (Read 3 times) Subj: SAMBA LINUX NETWORKING WITH WARP CONNECT08:26:0004/21/97 -> SS> An error occured.
