Hello,

I've got a summary of answers to my last questions + a couple
of new ones.


Old stuff:
1)  links:  OS2 doesn't have them.  WPS does, but they are only
accesible from WPS
2)  where WPS looks for bitmaps:  only in /os2/bitmap.  You can
use find in the settings notebook to get other ones, but everyone
knows what a pain that is.
3)  Unix 'sort':  this is on hobbes in misc_utils.zip?? (sorry, I
deleted the .zip file) along with a bunch of other stuff like wc,
pr, sum etc..  
4)  Calling programs from WPS menu:  WPS adds the calling directory
as an arguement to the program.  The way around this would be to
have the menu call a .cmd script that deals with this and then runs
the actual program.

Many thanks for the help!!!

New stuff:
1)  I can't stand any of the colors set by the termcap entries with
gnuemacs.  Can someone tell me which termcap agruements control the
colors so that I can make new entries.

2)  I'd like hardcopy of some of the manuals.  How do I take the .inf
files and turn them into text or, better yet, postscript.  I don't
want to print each piece out interactively with view.exe.

3)  I picked up compress from hobbes.  Where is uncompress???
Is it the same file with arguements??

Thanks again for the help,

  David
