Gary! You can try using JSHIFT14.ZIP to set your DOS key states. It might or might help -- it's my best try to help you. I can't duplicate your setup to see the problem.

Hello Out there, I've got the Merlin Beta realease - and as such, I'm extremly pleased with it, however ........... (there's always a however in life :-)) I like timewasting, I use VistaPro 3,0. VistaPro runs fine in a full dos session under Warp. But under Merlin Beta, I can start the program, and I can start to render fractal landscapes, but when the fractal landscapes are generated, I need to go back to the main program, to save the result, I should click right mouse button. Under Warp there's no problems here, but Merlin acts strange, several things can happen, except that I get back to the main screen to save my fractal landscape :-(( If I only click once, and then pres CTRL-ESC then I can get the windows list, and choose to go back to Vista Pro 3,0, but the fractal landscape is lost. If I keep pressing the right mouse button, it can freeze and go blanck, it sometimes create at screen black on 60% on the left side, and white on 40% on the right side - like a test picture from a video - and the only reaction is the reset button :-(( My grafic board i Matrox Millenium 2MB software version 1,12. same version on Warp and Merlin. Generally I can't get some DOS games to work under Merlin (given up on games and OS/2 - though I try it out now and again), somehow Merlin Dos to me seems less compatiable - Is this true, any fixes, any idea. Anyone got Vista Pro 3,0 running under Merlin / Matrox Millenium ?? --- Sqed/32 1.11/unreg * Origin: As for me and my house - we will serve the Lord.

I haven't tried Merlin in any form yet, but I am a supreme time waster as well. I love Vista Pro. :) And I've always been very happen how well behaved it's been under OS/2 so far. My video card is an Ati Mach 64 though, so we might not ever had comparable troubles. Hope yours work out! T. --- GoldED 2.40 * Origin: Deal with it, Pink Boy!

OK, I'll check it out. Hopefully that will solve my OS2-Win config proglems. Thanks for the info.. John jsakers@sirinet.net --> Everything expressed here is my computer's opinion only ...

According to the press release, there will be no charge for Netscape/2. It will run under both Warp and Merlin, but Warp users will need to buy an additional Java package *IF* they want the Java features. Otherwise, they can use Netscape/2 for free. Merlin users will have Java built into the OS, so no additional software or cost is needed to run Netscape/2-Java with Merlin. * KWQ/2 1.2i * Internet: jdt@edsi.org --- OS/2 Warp\FastEcho\FD\ProBoard * Origin: The Future Generation BBS | (414)739-8242 Supra 2400-33.6k (1:139/655)
