i'm not sure if it's borland or HP or what company makes this utility,
but i'm quite pleased with it and basically it's replaced program
manager on my windows system.  i'm presently  "migrating" my system to
WArp and i'd like to know if therοΏ½'s something like Dashboard for
OS/2.  Dashboard basically functions like a TOOLBAR, multiple desktop
manager (up to 9? i think), program launcher (programs hidden in
various Windows groups are accessible via just one click - which is
not something i've been able to do yet in os/2)  i've just downloaded
Filebar and it seems to function similarly.  are there any other
suggested programs that do these functions? a program that's a virtual
copy/ port of Dashboard would be the one i'm looking for.

2nd query: when i installed warp it migrated my windows groups/progs
to the WIN-OS2 folder.  but i noticed that the icons looked quite
awful, as if it my monitor just CGA. instead of SVGA. what can i do
about the way the icons look.  they're ok in a win-os/2 session but
not when they're dragged into os/2 ofolders.

oh, 3d Q:  is there ANY decent mouse driver for os/2?? tried
RODENT.SYS but it's still not quick enough and starts being jerky/
stuttery when used  in winos2 session.
