Hello again! I didn't explain things properly in my "Introduction" message... Let's see if I can do better this time. :-) > Yes. If your computer should have a DOS on-line reference.

It's about 1.6 MB > uncompressed. I received my machine with OS2 2.1 pre-loaded - the Danish version... My first (perhaps foolish!) job with it was installing an English version (which I had acquired earlier for my desktop). The company that sold me the machine told me that I was not doing anything illegal, because even though I was "duplicating" the installation of the English version, I did have a license for *two* OS/2s - I didn't ask IBM itself, but it sounds reasonable (any opinions on this?)... Anyway, the bottom line is that I "lost" everything that was on the HD to start with - so, no READIBM directory to consult! I don't really know what file to look for at the IBM Denmark BBS - perhaps it would be simpler if a kind soul could email it to me (zipped and uuencoded)... > Each disk has a readme file on it that describes the installation procedure. > If yours are in Danish, I'd be happy to mail you the English readmes. Just > find out which version of each disk you have so we don't get too confused. It's not just a question of the READMEs... The software itself is in Danish! I have installed the Power Management stuff and - dictionary in hand! - have tried to understand how to work with the different modules (battery, "speed", etc.) Since I'm looking for the English equivalents, I might just as well get the latest versions (the English versions - which I have *not* downloaded - at the IBM Denmark BBS are 1.0 and 1.1, depending on the disks). I have no access to CompuServe - is there an alternative? I was very happy to find out about the availability of PCMCIA fax modems, other than the IBM one (my apologies, it was in the FAQ, but I had not read it when I asked the question). I don't think I'll be able to afford one right now, but I'm interested in knowing what price range we are talking about. Does anybody know how different companies behave in terms of support policies when it comes to foreign customers? This is a very "productive" list - in the sense that I have already seen that "serious questions" are addressed friendly and efficiently. For the time being I guess that my lack of experience will force me to remain on the "asking side", but let me thank publicly all those who spend time elucidating the less "advanced" TP owners.
