hey everybody chris here again welcomeback to the channelalways good to have you with us so todaywe're going to look atos2 warp 4.52 and some of itsquirks and features i'm actually notgoing to talk too much about theinstallationbut more so we're going to look at thedifferent concepts surrounding itand this will probably be my last os 2video since we've been doing a lot ofthem recentlymaybe in the future we'll do some morebut this will probably cap it offbefore we get too far into it i want totalk a little bit about the hardwarein the past for the past couple ofvideos i've actually used mygateway 486 dx2 66to do the installations and that hasworked pretty wellwhat i have found with warp 4.52is that installing on a 486 iswell uh lackluster so i would notsuggestinstalling os2 or 4.5 ona 486 class systemso from there i thought okay i'll justgo ahead and install on my pentium 233mmx systemhowever it had a 20 gigabyte hard driveand would notwork due to the large hard drive sizeso i thought okay let me put in myide to cf adapter into that machine andtry the installationand that would not work it would lock upi tried switching out the ibm dasdydriveras was suggested by some folks for acustom driverno luck lock up lock a block up as suchwe have this very unlikely candidatewhich ended up being the subject of theinstallationa packard bell legend supreme 1125which is a pentium 200 megahertz with a3.2 gigabyte hard driveas such that's what we went with andaside from sound whichthis particular system has a sound cardthat's even hard to get working underwindows operating systems because it'sso uncommonthings seem to be working so let's goahead and take a tour and look at thequirks and features of os2 warp4.52so here you can see the desktop and whati find particularly interesting aboutthe desktopis it almost seems like they couldn'tdecide if they wanted to go with awindows 95 style approach ora traditional approach you have all ofthese icons on the desktop herebut you can also come down here and seesimilar icons here's our connectionswe have os2 system down here as well ashereprograms tcp shadows netscapecommunicator and shredderso you have icons in two places but waitthere's more we also have this task barthat has icons on it as wellthat can get you different places soit's very interesting to me that there'sreally two or three different ways toget to programsand actually this is the theme that wesaw on past versions of os2where you can get to programs for fromtwo or three different placesit's no different here except forthey've incorporated these windows 95style conceptstop left here you can see that we haveourgroup and this is very similar to whatwe've seen in the pastwe can come in here to tcp internet lanor modemso they've actually gotten rid of someof the confusedness that we saw in 3.0where we couldn't decide which group tochooseif we come into land here we have ourftp tftpour telnet we can launch telnet likewe've done in past videosand connect up to our raspberry pi witha new connectionwhich we learned ansi is the way to goand that looks like that works prettywell so it looks almost identical to3.0 we do have a group for configuringtcpwhere we can go in and make differentchanges here apparently you canconfigure a remote system which isreally interestingi haven't looked into this too muchoh interesting so you can actually loginto a remote host and configure thehost and password that waywe don't have any other os24 machines onthe network so that's probably not goingto work but that's definitely aninteresting conceptbeyond that it looks like we can do somevarious customization for things liketelnetoh nice you can choose like the defaultemulator type when you launch telnetthat's kind of neat as well as keyboardand colors and attributes and mappingsand things so that's kind of handy ifyou're using telnetpretty frequentlywe also have this tcp informationand that gives you some differentcommand references and things for tcpipadministering dns and dhcp that's kindof cooli'd actually be really interested to seewhat the different commands look likeokay so it's a help guideand it tells you different things likecommunication configurationfile chant transfer things along thoselines so that's kind of neat as welland then we have a dos windows groupunder tcpokay so you can run a windows or a dosping utilitylet's run the windows one so it launchesa windows 3.1 style programkind of cool and i guess we can choose ahostand you'll get ping results that'sactually pretty nifty i like itnow of great interest on the desktop wehave netscape communicator installedwhen was the last time you saw thatso in os2 3.0 they had a ibmweb file viewer as i recall and it lookslike now we havenetscape communicator installed andactually several of the installationpackages for os2rely on using netscape communicatorthere's a java add-on which requires itamongst some other things sonetscape communicator is actually usedto installsome programs by using java appletsunfortunately home.netscape.com is nolongerin use or service it's a casualty of theinternetbut we should be able to go to googleand there you have it uh not quitelooking too great but it looks like it'sat least usable we cansee what two plus two is and see if itcomes up with an answerand indeed two plus two is four so thereyou have itit's actually kind of interesting to seesome of the differentbookmarks that you see here a lot ofthem are pointing to netscapeif we go to the channels bookmark thoughyou can see businesses computing andinternet education games let's go togamesoh unfortunately that's not going towork either but they did have a varietyof channels that you could go to if youwanted to look at different thingspersonal finance and once againunfortunately they're all pointing thenetscape but that would have been a coolconcept back in the day installnetscape and you have all thesedifferent items that you can go to sobasically looks a lot like standardcommunicator just foros2 warp there you have itnext up we have programsand here you can see that we actuallyhave netscape communicator againand one thing i did like aboutcommunicator in the day wasall the different applicationsassociated with it could be launchedindividuallywe won't go ahead and do that at thispoint but you can see icons for everysingle one of themfor multimedia i did make an attempt toinstall my sound card with some driversunfortunately i do have a veryspecialized sound card in this packardbell which is integrated to themotherboardand wasn't quite able to get the driversworking but i did get closewe do have sound bites unfortunatelynone of them are going to play but youcould double click on those to playthose if you wanted toapparently there's garden and oceansounds interestingand there's also a group of space soundso i guess you can change the differentthemes for the desktopthere's an images folder and in there itlooks like there's some jpeg imagesthat you can see bicycles and flowersand art decolet's pop that one open ah very niceso we do have some stock imagesalso have a bitmaps folderwhere we can look at things like thisnice os2 work backgroundthere you have itas for sound there's not a whole lot wecan do because i don't have my cardconfigured but if i did you could comein here and play the soundsand if we go here okay here's where wehave those different schemes that we sawnot long agothe garden the desktop the ocean and thespace andthose can be applied via this dialoghere kind of neatyou can also set your warning beep orthe icon for this applicationthere's also digital audio and compactdisk and video and midi butunfortunately without our sound cardconfigured we won't be able to see muchtherethere's also a movies folder and itlooks like there's a movie in here thatwe could play though not with any sounda couple of nice happy birds therenext up here is this tcp internet we'vealready looked at thatnext up we have utilitiesand here we can see we have the os2system editor which we've had all theway since at least 1.3as well as this enhanced editor that ibelieve showed up in 3.0 and is also inuh 4.0 though it looks like in 4.0 it'smore enhanced than it wasin 3.0 watson worksso it looks like we can type things wecan change the style and we can changethe font which is kind of coolnext we have seek and scan fileswhich if you wanted to find a certainpesky file you could search for itso and this does a pretty good job againthis is alittle faster machine than we've used inthe past so it does a better job atfinding thingsnext we have the icon editor and it'skind of neati guess you can come in here and open upan iconand if you want you can change thecolors of pixels on a pixel by pixelbasiskind of interesting and we can see theicon being represented up here in thecorner soif you've ever wanted to edit iconshere's your chancehey look at this next up we have a cpumonitorso that'll show you how utilized theprocessor is and i've also noticed thatin the bar down here at the bottomyou can also change to the cpu monitorso if you want to see it in more thanone placeyou can definitely do that let's see ifwe can make the cpu do some workapparently not os2 must have some goodmanagement for dragging windows aroundbecause it doesn't seem to be loadingthe cpu too muchso that's the cpu monitor and as we canmove along you can see a clipboardviewer and a pictureviewer as well as some error logand autolog utility programsuh-oh apparently uh you're not allowedtorun this on requesters i wonder ifthat's going to be saved to the aerologwe can try the error log and see if itgot savedand apparently not it looks like wedon't have any errors ourpackard bell client 549 is just aperfect machineno errors we also have the softwareupdates iconbut unfortunately we don't have a modemconnectednotice on modems in quotes so we wouldneed tochoose some other sort of a thing iguess we could choose a lan connectionand unfortunately when we go to look forour software updates which you can seethis launched communicatorthe service5.boulder.ibm.com server isno longer incollective usage so there will be noupdates for us today via thatmechanizationwe also have internet and tcp utilitieswhich we have seen elsewhereand there's apparently a networkclipboarding and a network messagingconceptthat i guess we could send messages toother people on the networkthough we're not really set up to dothat but if we could that would be kindof neatnext we have games and we havesolitaire for mahjong klondike and os2chessin the opening screen you saw me runninga chest for a computer against computerand that seems to run pretty good onthis pentium 200and you can see the piece is movingalong and it's kind of funthis would be pretty mesmerizing towatch if you wanted to watch it for awhilewhat i have noticed is as time goes onthings slow down and you can see itright now because the computer is tryingto calculate its next moveagainst itself and the number ofpossibilities are probably pretty muchendlessso that's chess we also do have klondikesolitaireand it's an old mainstay with the wholeos2 card decklooks like it's having some sort of aproblem but you do seethat available as well if you want toplay solitairewe also have mahjong solitaireand once again it seems to be havingsome problems too butin theory you could play this as wellwe also have this java for os2 folderwhere you canview java applets run java programsthings along those lines so that's kindof cool next we have ibm internetconnection for os2and as we look at the programs here thisis basically wherethings are set up for using the modem sorunning theseconcepts here may result in trying tolaunch a modem connection and we're notset up that way sowe won't explore these we'll just leavethis benext we have the connections section andi find this fascinating actuallythe intent here was to bring all of yourdifferent connections to one window kindof like my computer on modern machinesyou can go browse drive c you can lookat your printers or your networkand your network services kinda coolyou can also look at websitesand now we can actually see a collectionof different websitesi think that we even have some airlinesthat no longer existlike transworld airlines which is inhere so that's kind of neatas well as a lot of different computingsites entertainment and referenceand web search you've got disney forentertainmentepicurious some of these other thingsfrom back in the day some of them arestill around todaydifferent banks web search sites likealta vista i remember back when that wasa thingi think that there might be one websearch site that is conspicuously absentfrom this list that begins with a gsome different ibm web pagesos2 pageseducationand news and sports so there you have iti think we need to try and click on oneof these i don't think any of them aregoing to worklet's pick something that's still aroundlike adobeand indeed this takes us to adobe.combut there are some problems going fromtherenext we have the assistance center wherewe've got information on troubleshootingand software updates and some technicalnotesso basically an online guide here withan information which is kind of neatan index for help so you can look atdifferent help topicsso this is kind of your online helpsupport as you're trying touse os2next we have os2 system and we can see alot of the differentsetup options the minimized windowviewer if you want to seewindows that are minimized the warpcenteras well as different templates andsystem setup where you can go tochange different setup options for yoursystem you can see a lot of them herewindows 2 multimedia we can go look atthe clockthere's the clock as well as tcpiconfiguration if there's something youwanted to do to change your tcpsettings there's also various settingsfor things like the mouseoh wow you can choose a right-handed orleft-handed mousedifferent pointers as well as how yourbuttons are mappedand your double click so i'm seeing alot more options here formouse properties than i've seen in pastversions of os2we also have windows 2 setup where youcan change different items therefor full screen or window settingsbecause there's a fast load optionthat's not a bad thingas well as copying data between the twodifferent systemswe can also look at the color paletteswhere you can actually change the colorof different windows by dragging colorsto themwhich is kind of cool so that's prettymuch some of the different options thatwe have in system setup we didn't lookat all of themthis hardware manager looks kind ofinteresting you can you can seedifferent things about your pcbut yeah definitely there's lots ofthings here to explore which are kind ofneatfor the system setup options so next upwe have command promptsand what's interesting here is that youalso have the winos2optionscan choose this winos2 window and youcan see a windows 3.1 style interfaceand what's interesting is if we go tothe program manager you can see it's thewinnos2 program manager as opposed tothe microsoft windows program managerbut we can definitely click through thedifferent options hereand see our familiar windows 3.1interfacewe also have our traditional os2 commandwindowsand maybe i'll use this opportunity toshow that we can map to a network driveif we want toand now we're all set to go and look atfiles on network sharesand that can be done in an os2 windowwe also have this drives icon here whichlooks similar to what we saw from theconnections window earlier so you cannavigate to the different drives thatyou have and seefiles that you havenow as we go back to the desktop onefinal area that we can look at is thistoolbar along the bottom so if we lookhere we havea clock in the far right corner and ifwe left click on it we can switchbetweendifferent date formats we also have thislittle information icon here whichbrings up some of thedifferent information items from theassistant center that we saw earlierbut once again available herewe have our different command promptswhich are available from alaunchable toolbar settingas well as our different configurationitems which you can reach from thetoolbar as well so we were in windows 2setup not long ago you could also accessthat from hereyou can also control the volume if youhave a sound card installed and set upas well as your printer options and lookat your differentdisks like we saw in a couple of otherplaces as welland now you can even see that we havethe network drive mapped that we canlook at items on our network drive aswelland here we have a couple of differentoptions for different trays we don'thave any setup but we can set updifferent trays thereand this bar is kind of cool right nowit's showing the system activity monitorbut if we click on it we can also seethedisk space monitor and see how much freespace we have on the diskthis icon here will shut down the systemwhich we don't care to do right nowthis one will help us find things viathe search that weran earlier here we can initiatelock with a passwordand you'll have the background displayedand the system will be lockedenter the password to exitand here we can change between warpcenter and desktop apparentlythough it doesn't seem to do very muchand then finally over here on the leftas we noted earlier we havethe menu which looks very similar to theicons you have on the desktopone other thing i wanted to show was thesystem setup so if we come over here tothis iconwe can come in and do an install removeand do a selective installand with selective install we can dodifferent configuration for differentitems very similar to when we did ourinitial system installationand we can also do next and next againand remove or add different componentsthat perhaps we did not add or remove asa part ofinitial system installation so there'sthatso there you have it there's my littlenickel tour of os2 work 4.52hope you enjoyed it definitely subscribeto the channel we have more content tocomegive this video a thumbs up if you likedit if not feel free to give it a thumbsdown we use your feedback to determinewhat sort of videos we make in thefutureas i noted i'll put down in thedescription below some instructions ifyou want totry and install os2 warp for yourselfgood luckhopefully it goes better for you than itdid for me you can certainly install iton a virtual machine as welland that seems to go well that's what ihave for you this timeand we'll see you next time bye
