The September 2003 issue of the OS/2 e-Zine mentions a demo of Microstation 95 for OS/2. Does anyone own this and would be willing to share it? Unfortunately, the Win95 version doesn't work with Odin.

I still dream of an MS Office 95 or 97, 2000 with a PM Titlebar. The installation may work, but the programs crash, the worst is Word. Schedule+ runs pretty well and Excel can also be started but does not last long. Updates for Odin would be very nice.

I have zipped the OS/2 English files for Xact.  Where should I send the .zip file?



Do you also have the German version?

I've been looking for a while, unfortunately there are only the demo versions to download. Would you archive version 7 for the community?

Is it really a higher version than 1.1? Although the 1.1 is easy to program, it crashes more often. You just have to know what you have to avoid. I would be interested in how the 1.27 behaves.

I am very satisfied with the German version. Runs even more smoothly under VBox. Dooble is also making good progress, so I plan the productive use again. Thanks to everyone involved!

There has been a discussion about it before:

I would like a toolbar in windows and a kind of start menu for the X button

I can't afford it, unfortunately I don't have the time. I generally prefer to take part online.

For "young" people, OS/2 may only be interesting for retro computing / gaming. This requires, among other things, a modern and stable browser and better DOS/multimedia support than Dosbox. If Odin were on the same level as Wine, OS/2 would certainly be a very good alternative to 32-bit Linux.

Ultimately the question is: Why should I use OS/2 or ArcaOS for DOS/Windows gaming when everything is available under Windows itself and Linux. For DOS games you can easily use STEAM or GoG. The games are already packed into a Dosbox environment and you just have to start them and they also have sound :)

The menu also appears for me if I have more than one partition and it is a 5.1 GA.

There is Amouse 4.01 on the Arca Noae site under Resources and downloads. It may help.

Thanks, I've tried it. The mouse wheel doesn't work with the default settings. I'll try out the possible settings on page 5.

MS Office 4.2 also hangs up with a 100% CPU load when checking the available disk memory. Reason: the installer doesn't like large partitions... maybe the Lotus too?

Thanks.

I will continue to play with the possibilities on page 5/5 in the settings for the mouse wheel.

Is there a specific setting in AMOUSE to scroll with the mouse wheel in Lotus 123 1.7?
