Hi Paul,

PE> 3. copy command caused corruption.

Never seen this either. 

However with repsect to...

PE> 5. Some doubling of characters.
LE> Never seen this. Where do they get doubled? 
LE> Windowed sessions, fullscreen, 
LE> what?

 PE> With 3.0 they were getting doubled even on the normal 
 PE> screen, ie when you right click, instead of seeing 
 PE> "Shutdown" on the menu, you might see "Shuudoon" or 
 PE> something (maybe that was just the Australian version? 
 PE> :-)), but with 4.0, I have only spotted it in one place

... and ...

PE> 9. vio of blue causes overscores.

LE> News to me, considering I have MsgedSQ/2 configured

 PE> I see it in Binkley, which gets auto-started.  video

These ones I have _heard_ of, perhaps not in exactly the same situation but
with _VERY_ similar results. The problem was resolved by replacing the
ET4000 card with another ET4000. There was no obvious difference between
the 2 ET4000 cards other than the manufacturing date was about 9 months
apart. The earlier card had the problem, the later one didn't. Using
different versions of the same driver did NOT change the problem. The same
ET4000 also exhibited some oddities like the above in some Win3.11 apps
when running plain Win3.11, not OS/2, however not all Win applications
experienced the problem. The problem also only seemed to be present in
selected video modes, plain 640x480x256 was fine. Its so long ago I can't
remember the exact details now.

 PE> /* The following program demonstrates a presumed-bug in OS/2 */
 PE> /* If this program is run from the startup, or if the program is

 PE>    ABC in blue, with a line *above* it.  If run from a screen that

 PE>    blue, as expected.

And I strongly suspect this relates directly to the same ET4000 problem. 

I hope ths helps...........pk.
