Warp Life Expectancy

Here, here! I agree with you 100% that IBM must continue to improve OS/2 for the corporate and home market. Windows NT is slowly but surely making its way into corporate America, encroaching on IBM's bread and butter software. As any business knows, if you want to win, you have to play the game!

Partition Magic 3.0

There is one thing that needs to be pointed out about Partition Magic 3.0. In his review, Mr. Sumner made the comment that you can not make blank partitions with PartitionMagic 3.0. However, there is a way: select your free space, click on the "Create..." button, and in the dialog box, under the Partiton Type drop-down menu, select "Unformatted". Click OK. Viola! You've just created a blank partition!

Great article! I really enjoyed it. I just downloaded some apps to let the pc talk back. I was joking with some Win95 users about how I will soon by like Capt. Kirk stating, "Computer...Stop the program!" OS/2 RULES!

Developing on OS/2

I read OS/2 e-Zine! occasionally for info. Although OS/2 has a Java VM built in, there is little mention of OS/2 Java development environments. This is a pity as I appreciate portability and I've ended up running Cafe and Visual Cafe on Win NT 3.5x then NT 4. IBM lags behind Sun & Microsoft in releasing up to date JDKs.

Have you any suggestions for OS/2 friendly Java resources? I keep track of things via GameLan, JavaSoft etc but I'd really like to find out about the experiences of OS/2 based Java users.

Absolutely! EDM/2 is the authoritative source for OS/2 development info, including Java columns.

Survey Suggestion

How about asking people what they think of IBMs marketing strategy for OS/2. And how to make it better.

Personally I find that IBMs marketing regarding OS/2 stinks. They are not visible at all. This may be a topic for you to write an article about as well.

You should allow comments on the Survey! I started with 1.0 beta! I will run it until they pry it from my cold dead fingers!

Really tho I didn't use it at home 'til 2.0

On the question "How long will you use OS/2?" you omitted a very vital choice: "When it's DEAD!."

Because of this I had to choose "I don't know."

I don't think the majority of OS/2 users think of using it for a quantity of years. I think they'll use it as long as it is a viable healthy system.

E-mail Programs

Folks, I'm a fan of the magazine. You do a fantastic job and the OS/2 community owes you a big THANKS!!! I've got three E-mail programs that came with the newest Warp. Ultimail I used w/ Warp 3, Netscape seems kind of basic, and Notes Mail which is BIG.

How do these stack up next to PMmail, MR/2 ICE, and Post Road? Perhaps that's something another article on E-mail programs can cover? Thanks.

Peter McKay


A good idea but I can tell you quickly how they stack up: they don't. Any of the three stand-alone 3rd party products (MR/2, PMMail or PRM) are far superior to the bloated options of Ultimail, Notes Mail or Netscape.

We're definitely going to be doing another e-mail round up in the future though.
