Lotus SmartSuite 4 on WinOS/2
Martin Iturbide:
Hello
Just to try to see if it was some disk/partition issue I created a 200MB VHDD (HPFS) and tried to install SmartSuite there.
The copy procedure went forward this time, but I got some errors at the end.
Maybe it is a mistake to try to put the "Lotus Shared Tools" (picture 001) on the a different drive, but if I select C:\ it won't copy any file (same error as before).
Update: If I format the 200MB VHDD with JFS, I get the same original error where no files are copied.
Is it the size? or is the file format? or both?
Regards

I tried full screen, same problem. Plus the additional problem of full screen sessions with VBox, where my mouse cursor stays in the upper half of the virtual screen and moves half the distance it should vertically, making any control through mouse almost impossible..

I downloaded and installed under full screen windows. It had problems installing the icons, but I kept hitting the OK button and they finally installed. I did not install under a virtual environment, but under a normal ArcaOS 5.1 partition.
One thing I have installed is this dos driver. Since Windows 3.1 is primarily a shell over dos, I figured this driver could only help.
The V2GB.SYS virtual device driver
==================================
Overview
--------
The purpose of this driver is to provide a solution to the problem
caused by the inability of many DOS programs to handle a partition in
excess of 2GB in size. This causes spurious reports of insufficient
disk space.

Isn't that what the line "LOADHIGH C:\sys\MDOS\BIN\2GBFIX.COM >NUL" in the autoexec.bat is supposed to do? What is the difference between these two drivers?

What size partition did you install to?

Small HPFS boot partition, but over the 2GB barrier
