Copyright Trident Microsystem, 1995, all rights reserved. Known quirk list: ================= 1) Changing the resolution or color depth while motion video is running will cause screen corruption. 2) AVI file playback may become corrupted if moved around the desktop while the video is playing. 3) After loading MS Plus Pack, an IBMCDI32 illegal operation error has sometimes occurred if an MPEG window is quickly resized and then closed. 4) Two mouse cursors will appear if you attempt to open Program Manager by invoking WIN.COM from an OS/2 Command Prompt window or DOS Command Prompt. One cursor will be the OS/2 cursor and the other will be the Windows cursor. Everything is fine if Windows Program Manager is invoked using one of the icons or buttons on the Warp Desktop. 5) Playing Freecell in Windows Program Manager will result in an error if Program Manager was opened from the Launchpad. The error will indicate that Win32s is required to play the game. If Program Manager is opened any other way, everything is OK. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- __________________________________________________________________ IBM SYSTEM PROGRAMS LICENSE AGREEMENT __________________________________________________________________ PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE DOWNLOADING AND USING THESE PROGRAMS ON YOUR SYSTEM.
