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. ellecer
