Description

WarpDoctor is the rebirth of the old Warp Pharmacy - and more. It is intended to
be the site where you can get information about what hardware works with OS/2 along
with instructions for how to get that hardware to work. In addition WarpDoctor is
planned to be a repository for OS/2 documentation, help and instructions for getting
software applications to work with OS/2 (such as Acrobat v 3), and a mirror and
respository for OS/2 software and drivers. The site contents come from the OS/2
community, and the WarpDoctor site is designed so that the site users can add new
content or change existing content.
The WarpDoctor site is built using a number of software building blocks:
CGI programs, the Rexx plug-in, the database interface, and DrDialog/DrRexx applications
that run in the browser. Those building blocks are made freely available in hopes
that they will be useful for OS/2 hosted sites.
The first half of the presentation is a discussion of the WarpDoctor
site: its purpose, how it is organized and how to use it. The second half of the
presentation discusses how the site is built, i.e. the software building blocks:
how they work and where to get them.

Want OS/2 but want it on the "unsupported" hardware you have? Come to
this session where we will try to unveil some of the secrets of OS/2 installation
and provide a methodical approach to installing OS/2 that can conquer much of even
the most unruly hardware.

Jose Rodriguez is a free lance technical writer (or a tech contractor at times offering
system administration services in heterogeneous environments). He is currently working
for a Silicon Valley company. Additionally, although not a kid anymore, he is currently
pursuing a PhD in mathematics (and has dabbled in philosophy and computer science
on a regular basis) at San Jose State University. He became acquainted with OS/2
around 1995 after he became aware of the limitations of Windows. Since then, he
has installed versions 2.11 up to Aurora (4.5) in laptops as well as workstations
(both single and dual processors).

In this session we will consider the most common troublesome scenarios, such as
installing OS/2 after an initial space allocation of 8Gigs (or greater) in which
WinX usually resides. Although this problem usually is applicable to Merlin and
previous versions of OS/2 with no built in LVM support, eComStation 1.0 appears
to have a behavioral affinity for doing the same, according to our group members.
I will also treat the manner to alter the WinX initiation file to recognize (and
obey) OS/2's boot manager in a multiboot configuration possibly with Linux also.

Description

For the past year, Serenity Systems has been involved in expanding the support for
host and guest operating systems in the NetSys GmbH product, twoOStwo. This topic
will discuss plans for delivering this support and what this will mean to OS/2 users,
as well as how the technology will be integrated into the eComStation product family.
The presentation will cover the unique host and guest support combinations
being made available, including support for OS/2 - eComStation as a guest running
on Linux and FreeBSD systems. There will be a detailed demonstration of Linux host
support running eComStation, and the session will include information on participating
in the public beta programs and the planned OS/2 host feature.

IBM will withdraw support for OS/2 gradually, first by ending device driver support,
and then by withdrawing defect support. How will the user community continue to
run OS/2 and eCS after this happens? A panel of experts give their opinions and
their visions of the future of eCS and OS/2. Audience participation is invited.
