( i.e. games, MIDI, etc.) The confusing thing about sound on the TP is that there are two sources for drivers: one from OS/2 development, and the other from Thinkpad development. The one from OS/2 (ships with Warp, recommended by the Thinkpad folks) does *not* support Soundblaster/Adlib/Roland emulation in a DOS box. What I did was install multimedia, but no sound drivers. Then I installed the OS/2 2.1 sound drivers that came with my Thinkpad. These seem to be somewhat buggier, sometimes crashing. They've also released an update disk for OS/2 and WinOS2. Get both from ftp.pcco.ibm.com in /pub/mobiles. Whatever you do, make sure you DON'T install BOTH drivers (Warp and Thinkpad). That's almost guaranteed to crash OS/2 every time you try to use DOS sounds. Device drivers operate at a higher priority level than programs and can hose a protected system like OS/2. > - Associatings files...

Yes, there's a way. Pop up the settings folder on the app, and there should be a section on associations or something. Just add the *.??? extension to the list. Note that you can associate more than one app with a file type -- one is the default and the others can be called up with the pop-up menu (right mouse button) on the file. > - Whatever other info or other neat little trick that you have found with > Warp and ThinkPads that you are willing to share... There's a web site out there called Stupid OS/2 Tricks. ___________________________________________________________________________ John H.
