I wrote "Horizontal scrolling" ( Left & Right ) when I meant "Vertical
scrolling" (Up & Down) when discribing the Intellimouse. Serves me right
for not paying attention during plainar geometry. Also a helpful individual on the
unedited list told me to move the extra notebook into a folder and delete the folder.
I have no clue why, but for some reason this worked.
I've got some information concerning the latest Adaptec 2940 driver for OS/2.
The following was posted on the TEAMOS2HELP mailing list. (The driver concerned
there is the one mentioned as item #3 on your web page I've referred to in the subject):
The latest Adaptec AIC7870.ADD d2.2 980617 (6/17/98, 133,768) fails to write a CD-R correctly (RSJ, Sony CDU960) but it did run the SCSI tape correctly (BackAgain/2 Pro, Python drive) so I put the previous driver back in ,d2.11S24, 980511, (5/11/98, 133640) which makes perfect CD-R's and I think the tape is ok as well.Walter Schmidt

Faster internet connections and the development of widespread use of secure transactions
have given rise to a new method of purchasing software. Instead of the usual delivered,
shrink wrapped article, you may now electronically purchase software and have it
electronically delivered as well.
This is of benefit to both the customers and the ISV's. Electronic delivery avoids
the cost of packaging and printing of handbooks. Electronic delivery provides prompt
delivery of the software, free of shipping and duty costs which can be quite considerable
for an international customer. Disadvantages only lie with the customer who will
not get a printed manual with the purchase. Manuals, however, can also be provided
with the download, or separately in PDF format for perusal or even printing(Stardock
already does this).With the era of removable media and high capacity hard disks
being common place, downloaded purchases may be easily stored for further use.
This is clearly not suitable for large apps such as office suites and the like.
At least not yet........it's only a matter of time.
I personally have benefited a great deal from this service, and certainly encourage
all OS/2 ISV's who offer software of a size suitable for download to offer sales
and delivery electronically. OS/2 has users worldwide and the ISV's should ensure
easy and all means of access to their software.
For those OS/2 users who are not aware of this facility, check out the OS/2 Supersite
and look at the various software solutions offered via the rapid internet purchasing
service. BMT Micro also offers this service. Check it out and support your ISV's!
