Is there a chance that this newsgroup can be split into two? Possibly, segregating the "news" from "technical". Also, is there a group for OS/2? --- I have OS/2 running on a PS/2 60. I have some problems and questions. 1. In the DOS window I cannot get Kermit 2.3 to work. I get a message that comm port one is in use. 2.29 works fine. 2. When I try to shell from many programs in the DOS window I get wrong version of DOS errors. 3. Often, when leaving an application in the DOS window, QuickC especially, the system halts because it says that command.com is invalid. 4. Any pointers on good ways to port existing DOS applications over to OS/2 would be nice. I can go thru tham and change all the BIOS INTS to OS/2 calls and grind it out. But, it would be nice to hear from someone that has dealt with ported chip-level communications code and graphics programs over. Has anyone written a monitor, or work with programs that run in the lower levels? Thanks. -- Sam Moore ||\\ || //==\\ //==\\ || || NCSU Computing Center || \\ || || ||==\\ || || Raleigh, NC || \\|| || || || || sam@ncsuvx.ncsu.edu || \\ \\==// \\==|| \\==//
