DESCRIPTION

Video drivers downloaded from Bulletin Boards (BBS) fail to install on 
OS/2 Warp 4, with message that "This FixPak is only intended for V3.01, 
3.0, 2.11 and 2.1".

RESOLUTION

IBM BBS video drivers, distributed for OS/2 version 2.11 and OS/2 Warp 
3.0, can be installed on OS/2 Warp 4; however the SETUP.CMD file must 
be modified to include OS/2 Warp 4 as a valid version.

1. Edit the SETUP.CMD file on the driver disk, by typing E A:\SETUP.CMD.
   Modify line 14 from:

   %src%\testver >> %log%
   IF ERRORLEVEL 302 GOTO VER_NOT_OK
   IF ERRORLEVEL 300 set dsc=%src%\v3.dsc&& GOTO VER_OK

   to:

   %src%\testver >> %log%
   IF ERRORLEVEL 400 set dsc=%src%\v3.dsc&& GOTO VER_OK
   IF ERRORLEVEL 302 GOTO VER_NOT_OK
   IF ERRORLEVEL 300 set dsc=%src%\v3.dsc&& GOTO VER_OK

2. Save and exit the file.  

3. Install the drivers according to the README file. If the driver 
   installation requests that you replace the DSPRES.DLL, select no.
   Use the DSPRES.DLL from OS/2 Warp 4 to avoid font problems.
