David, I have been trying to reach you. Please email me. Thank you.

Why you would want an animation, is beyond me. All it does is slow down booting. Even Microsoft doesn't do silly things like that.
Use the mode command, something likeCode: [Select]mode co80,100
will give you a hundred lines. The max that works is perhaps 103
mode 132,60
Hi,
I'm not trying to cause a big debate here, but just about 2 months ago I had to replace a bunch of failing capacitors on a 4 year old HP enterprise-grade sever. I also just took some 5 year old HP desktop machines out of service which have capacitors showing signs of failure.
Poor quality capacitors are still a problem.
You can find wget for OS/2 on (e.g.) Hobbes.
I was wondering if masm386.exe is just masm.exe renamed? MASM 6.x supported .486 and .586 in (at least in DOS).
; Did not work:
cmp byte ptr [di], 20h
; Changed to:
push edi
and edi,0ffffh
cmp byte ptr [edi], 20h
pop edi
SOCECONNREFUSED
SOCEINTR
SOCENOTSOCK
My reading is that MASM 6 supported i386 (and I guess i486 etc) but did not support the flat memory model.
Never used masm2alp or alp. Not really a programmer and about all I've done is porting assembly, mostly involving nasm. Simple stuff like the other day changing ".section rodate" to ".data" in some AS assembly (actually with ifdefs). The MASM386 code might just need some syntax fixes to port to another similar assembler and I do notice even going from MASM 5 to MASM 6 seems to take some work, at least going by the documentation.
You may have to port the assembly to a different assembler, perhaps jwasm (fork of wasm, the Open Watcom assembler) which IIRC is fairly compatible to masm.
There's masm v6 and masm v5. As for masm386, it seems to have shipped with MS OS/2 ver2 and perhaps in some of the early v2 toolkits/sdks. Possibly the oldest NT one might run on OS/2 as well.
The current toolkit also contains masm2alp.exe which might work.
Gradd only supports whatever the video bios supports. Panorama works around this by patching the bios to support wide screen monitors, based on the EDID, works fine here at 1680x1050 on real hardware.

I found these sites.

Note I said MS OS/2 ver 2, a very rare beta that was never released as far as I know, not IBM OS/2 ver 2 which is what you likely have.

That worked. It's compiling all of the .C files. It's looking for masm386 to compile the assembly.
I've never seen a masm386.exe program. Microsoft's Macro Assembler 6.x had a masm.exe program that translated the old command line to the new one used by ml.exe.
Any idea where to find masm386?
