subject: Magic code for DosSleep

ml>> hummm... ok... when i type VER in a dos window and have
ml>> 2.30 returned, i _have_ to set AX >= 2 or i get 100% CPU
ml>> usage with the DOSSLEEP call... using 2 gives me 0% CPU
ml>> usage in a "repeat killtime until keypressed" loop... there
ml>> are NO fixpacks installed here...

DN>>I can only presume you are running the red spine version of
DN>>Warp. I use the blue spine version and it reports in as 3.0
DN>>in a VDM window. However. the "get version" interrupt for
DN>>VDM support returns 20.30 for Warp 3.0. Since the first part
DN>>should be divided by 10, this gives 2.30 for Warp 3.0.

 ML>     Just to confuse the record further, I am using red Warp 3 GA +
 ML> FixPak 5.  I get "3.00" when I type VER from either an OS/2 or DOS
 ML> text-mode session.  However, REXX SysOs2Ver gives 2.30, so it must

shoot... :(  i forgot to mention that i use 4DOS and 4OS2 as my command
interpreters...
