I have a problem with Designer 3.0x, it wont start under OS/2. How do I install it correctly?? Manuals talk only about DOS, and how to install Designer under DOS. Thanks...

(This, unbelievably, works.) If you do this, you'll only have access to real mode windows 3.0, because (obviously) the other two modes involve switching the 286 or 386 chip into protected mode, and OS/2 has that all locked up. Micrografx also have a Designer for os/2 PM; it's a little buggy & slow right now, and it is based on Windows Designer 2.0 (so no Bezier curves, etc., etc.) But it is another possibility; I think it's faster than running Designer under Windows under OS/2.

There is a specific version of Designer for OS/2 but it is not labeled 3.0x to the best of my knowledge. The version of Designer for OS/2 comes with a set of install instructions. Unfortunately there is still a bug in the driver for the 8514a. Ed
