ML>Hi Will--

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

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

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

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

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

ML>    Regards,

ML>        --Murray

Murry I talked to Pete Norloft about this about a year and a half ago noone
had
heard from C.O.L. for a year at that time. I think he was an in home business
and I believe I had heard the the man who ran the company had been in a car
accident. I won't bet the farm I got it all right here but I do know nobody
has
heard from this company for quite awhile.
