I assume you commented out comm.sys and vcomm.sys?  Does the SIO
splash screen show com1/com2?  Open the hardware manager (System setup
folder) and check the comm ports and IRQ's in use - that may tell you
something.  Remember, you can't share IRQ's in OS/2 and IRQ4 conflicts
with the 'normal' com1 usage.  RMVIEW /? will give you the options and
you can probably figure out what's going on from there. If you can't
figure out what it's telling you, run RMVIEW /DC > [file] and post the
file.  Maybe someone can see the problem

There's a free ware deltree out there for OS/2 that works fine.  It
may be in a file called FMUTILS (from hobbes, etc) but I'm not sure.  I
can email it as an attachment if you don't find it.  It's one of the
must-haves for me.

the

Probably 1.75f or so - it can't see partitions and/or logical drives
>2.1  gb and it does not see long file names.  I suggest Hyperview.  I
use the text mode version and it's about the nearest thing to a list
replacement I've found.

You mean other than the coffe break you take while it loads? 
Actually, it's based on a rev 3 core and is not available in the 128
bit secure version.  Java support is also not very good - even if you
can get it working.
