This post is for a friend who does not have net access. I'll pull down posted replies and forward them. "I work for a small company developing under OS/2 1.3, using Microsoft C 6.0, and Microsoft OS/2 Presentation Manager Toolkit 2.1. We are converting to OS/2 2.0. We are interested in improving our support environment and would be very grateful for answers to a few questions: 1) What are the relative values of the following sources regarding the resolution of problems and the recommendation of solutions in the OS/2 environment? - comp.os.os2 newsgroups - Compuserve fora - IBM Helpware - IBM OS/2 Bulletin Board - IBM programmers & developers groups - IBM Boca Raton programmer's club? - any other notable sources? 2) What are some recommended patches, upgrades, kluges, etc. to tidy up OS/2 2.0, PM Toolkit 2.1, and MSC 6.0? What are other recommended development applications? 3) Here are a couple of sample questions that we are looking to answer: How does one use cvp to debug a Presentation Manager application? We generally get a segmentation violation or an unfriendly lockup when we try to do so. Is there a debugger out there for OS/2 that is more robust? Why when changing a file or folder name on the OS/2 2.0 desktop does it often take several attempts to actually complete the change? Any and all suggestions, recommendations, answers, redirections, lies, and rumors are graciously welcomed in our current support vacuum. - Rodney"
