           Solving DOS Application Problems under OS/2 Warp
=======================================================================

--------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION

Cannot run DOS applications as expected under OS/2 Warp.

RESOLUTION

OS/2 Warp includes optimized DOS settings for many DOS applications and
games on the market as of October 1994.

Use the OS/2 Warp Add Programs utility to migrate DOS applications 
currently installed on the hard disk to the Desktop folder, DOS 
Programs. Follow these steps to add programs:

1. Move the mouse pointer to a blank area of the Desktop and press mouse
   button 2 to display the Desktop pop-up menu.

2. Select System Setup.

3. Select Add Programs.

4. Select Add new programs.

5. Select OK.

   Note: The software searches the hard disks for programs to add to
         the OS/2 Desktop.
  
6. Exit the program when the search is complete.

7. Look in the new DOS Programs folder on the OS/2 Desktop for the
   migrated programs.


Additional Application Notes
----------------------------
1. OS/2 Warp DOS emulation includes support for the following DOS
   programs:

   Microsoft MSCDEX.EXE 

   You do not need to run this DOS application to get CD-ROM support
   under OS/2 Warp, assuming the CD-ROM drive is supported by OS/2.
   Check the OS/2 Warp documentation for specific model support.

   DOS SHARE.EXE

   You do not need to run this DOS application to provide file-sharing
   capabilities for DOS programs that share data. The SHARE.EXE
   functionality is in OS/2 Warp DOS emulation.

2. Borland Paradox 4.0 or 4.5 for DOS:

   Paradox comes with an OS/2 command file that creates a folder and
   program object for Paradox on the Desktop. Start an OS/2 Window and
   change directories to Paradox for DOS. Type PDOX and press Enter.
   This step automatically installs the Desktop-folder and
   program-object icons with all the correct settings.

3. Borland C++ 4.0x for DOS and Windows:

   MAKE.EXE

   This program does not run in an OS/2 Warp DOS session because of the
   OS/2 Warp DPMI specification version. MAKE.EXE requires DPMI version
   1.0 support. OS/2 Warp supplies DPMI version 0.9 support.
