Hi Will--

    A little background:  I've been using a (registered) shareware
performance monitor application (OSRM2, by C.O.L. Systems) since 1995.
In a way, OSRM2 is a miniature Theseus: It can do some, but not all, of
the stunts one can do with the big one!  In order for it to do a Working
Set analysis, one had to add a couple of files from Theseus2:
THESEUS2.SYS and THESEUS0.DLL.  While C.O.L. Systems was willing to sell
me IBM's Theseus2 at the time for $75, I found what was supposed to be
Theseus2 on Pete Norloff's OS/2 Shareware BBS.  So I downloaded it, and
found that I couldn't run it because it was for an SMP system and my
hardware has only one processor :-(.  But the two files required by
OSRM2 worked fine.  I can make a Working Set analysis of my home-grown
OS/2 programs.

    Well, there was a lot of recent talk on this echo about an updated
Theseus, and this morning I found Theseus3 in the weekly "new files"
e-mail I get from this BBS.  So I downloaded and installed it.  It seems
to work as advertised, but I'm not sure because the usual on-line (.INF
file) documentation isn't very helpful for a newcomer, and I haven't had
time to do enough experiments to be able to read between its too-few
lines.

    However, OSRM2 doesn't work with the Theseus3 files.  So I now have
two different THESEUS?.SYS device drivers called out in my CONFIG.SYS
file, and two different THESEUS?.DLL files, one in each directory.  The
two utilities work fine together, multitasked under OS/2.  I can do a
Working Set analysis of the running Theseus3 with OSRM2, but I haven't
figured out (yet) how to do the reverse: a Working Set analysis of OSRM2
using Theseus3 :-(.

    My current question is whether it is possible to update (modify)
OSRM2 so that it can use the Theseus3 files.  C.O.L. Systems' BBS hasn't
answered its telephone for well over a year, although someone is still
paying the fee to keep it alive.  (I now get one of those Bell-Atlantic
sales-type intercepts after a suitable ringing interval, trying to sell
me a service that will notify the called party to call me back, someday.
 I wonder how it would work on a BBS that hasn't answered its phone for
over a year?  I do know that Bell-Atlantic would charge me for the
attempt!)

    While I can live with what I have, any suggestions you (or anyone
else) might offer as to how to update OSRM2 would be appreciated.  I
might even be coerced to do a little assembly language patching, if
absolutely necessary.

    Regards,

        --Murray
