> I just changed from DOS to os/2 today.

Congratulations (and welcome to the 90's)... :)

> If anybody has any suggestions regarding en+ and os/2 ...

It runs quite happily in the regular emulation (either windowed or
full-screen).  Performance and functionality are totally intact.  No
setting changes required.  I don't remember, however, if EndNote takes
advantage of extended or expanded memory under DOS (or RAM drives).
Are any such commands helpful? (I ran it under DOS only briefly before I
switched to OS/2).  Please reply, if so, so we can suggest "optimized"
OS/2 DOS settings to other users.....

The one concern I have is that, when using EndNote to "copy" to
the clipboards (both EndNote and Windows as would happen under DOS), EndNote
only copies to the EndNote clipboard and nothing appears under the public
Win-OS/2 or OS/2 clipboards (so you can't paste directly in your Ami Pro
or Word for Windows documents as you can under native DOS).  HOWEVER, a
somewhat satisfactory workaround is to make the EndNote clipboard visible,
copy the reference to the visible clipboard, Mark and copy the reference
to the OS/2 clipboard (using the OS/2 commands), and THEN paste directly
into the document from your Win-OS/2 application.  (in other words, one
extra step).

Has anyone been able to successfully copy directly from EndNote to the
public OS/2 or Win-OS/2 clipboards and what is unusual about EndNote's
addressing of the Windows clipboard that it can't interface correctly
with the Win-OS/2 clipboard?
