DESCRIPTION
OS/2 Warp 4 builds on the proven OS/2 Warp and OS/2 Warp Connect
products with a number of new features and functions.
Ease of Use
- Integrated Install -- One convenient installation program installs
the OS/2 Warp Version 4 operating system, OS/2 Warp Connect
components, and BonusPak applications. This install program
provides the user an "Easy" or a "Custom" path to selectively
install, uninstall, or reinstall OS/2 Warp 4 components.
OS/2 Warp is CID-enabled for mass deployment of software.
- Internet-Aware Desktop -- New desktop objects for HTML, URL, and
FTP servers enable drag-and-drop from the Internet to the desktop
and vice versa. The FTP object provides a folder view of an FTP
directory.
- WarpCenter -- WarpCenter is the place to store and launch
frequently used applications. The user can explore the desktop
and other folders using cascading menus rather than opening each
individual folder. The toolbar from the previous release of
OS/2 Warp is available in the Productivity Folder.
- WarpGuide -- Proactive/adaptive and non-proactive agents provide
assistance and guidance as a user performs system tasks such as
creating a network printer or installing a device driver.
- Assistance Center -- The System Tutorial, WarpGuides, AskPSP, and
online references to assist the user.
- Workplace Shell(R) -- The Workplace Shell is the basis for all the
functionality of the OS/2 Warp user interface. Built on the
foundation of the System Object Model(TM) (SOM(TM)) and
Distributed System Object Model (DSOM), the shell extends to allow
application developers to add capabilities seamlessly and
efficiently.
- Controls and Visuals
- Visuals -- Experience 3D using color, texture, shadowing, and
curved edges.
- Dialogs -- New buttons, sliders, scroll bars, entry fields, and
list boxes enhance dialog use.
- Horizontal Style Notebook -- Notebook settings now have a
horizontal tab option. This new style allows information to be
presented more concisely without taking up much space.
- Close Button -- Close an application with a single click.
- Folder Menu Bars -- Common operations within a folder are
accessible via menu bars. The context menu (Mouse Button 2)
can be used for these same operations.
- User Interface Redesign -- The rearranged desktop improves visual
appeal and reduces clutter. New background bitmaps with texture
and color schemes have been added.
- New Fonts -- A new condensed font style uses less desktop real
estate and improves legibility. The font is available in both
high and low resolution.
- Animated Icons, Comet Cursor -- Animated icons supply visual
feedback for opened folders and applications. The comet cursor
leaves a trail as it moves to allow users to more easily detect
the mouse locations, particularly on notebook computers. New 3D
pointers help you customize your desktop.
- Voice Navigation -- Combining speaker-independence and continuous
speech, OS/2 Warp allows you to speech navigate most OS/2 and most
Windows 3.x applications. Macros can be created to simplify
repetitive tasks. Since OS/2 Warp provides DART (Direct Access
Routines) for fast Digital Audio, no special hardware is required
other than a supported sound card and microphone. View a list of
supported audio cards and chips on the Device Driver Pak CD.
- Voice Dictation -- This speaker-independent application allows the
user to dictate text into applications supported by the OS/2
clipboard using the VoiceType Dictation (VTD) engine with all
associated libraries and exploitive macros.
- System Tutorial -- The tutorial for OS/2 Warp 4 helps business
clients and connected commuters get up-to-speed quickly with an
improved user interface and other new OS/2 features. The tutorial
features step-by-step instructions for basic operating system
concepts such as using and customizing the desktop. A
"speech-enabled" section teaches the user how to use voice
navigation.
- Migration Database -- This is an updated database of optimal
settings for popular DOS and Windows 3.x applications. The
database is widely used during installation to migrate previously
installed DOS and Windows 3.x applications.
Performance
- Pre-emptive Multitasking -- The operating system, rather than the
application, determines the sharing of overall system resources to
achieve optimal system performance. This prevents
resource-intensive applications from monopolizing system
resources.
- Multithreading -- Multiple units of work operate simultaneously to
improve overall performance. An example is a word processor
performing spellcheck while accepting keystrokes.
- Async Read-Ahead -- This file system enhancement studies disk read
patterns, anticipates a disk read, and makes it available in
memory to improve system throughput.
- System Page Tuning -- Frequently used functions are grouped
together so they can be loaded with the least number of I/O
operations.
- High Performance File System (HPFS) -- HPFS has been updated to
optimize software for 486 and Pentium exploitation and optimize
cache handling by allowing multiple Lazywrite worker routines.
- Crash Protection -- Applications are isolated so errant programs
cannot corrupt and overwrite memory of other well-behaved
programs.
- Disk Cache -- Frequently referenced disk locations are stored in
memory for ready use.
Connectivity
- Network Adapters and Protocol Services -- NDIS Version 2.0.2
device driver support for a variety of LAN adapters has been
added.
- File and Print Services Client -- LAN Requester and OS/2 Peer
combine to provide a single administration workstation. Users can
share peer resources (files, printers, and async ports) and
administer LAN resources from a single workstation. Objects on
the desktop inherit peer functionality in their context menus.
The File and Print Services Client can connect to OS/2 Warp
Server, OS/2 LAN Server, Windows NT Server, PC LAN Program,
OS/2 Warp Connect, Windows NT Workstations, Windows 95, Windows
for Workgroups, LANtastic for OS/2, and LANtastic for DOS.
OS/2 Warp 4 customers who use the File and Print Services Client
to access services on OS/2 Warp Server Version 4, must hold a
Proof of Entitlement for an OS/2 Warp Server Version 4 Use-Based
Feature (UBF) in order to use the File and Print Services Client.
- NetWare Client for OS/2 -- NetWare Client v2.11 for OS/2 global
administration capabilities for NetWare Directory Services,
ability to install NetWare client for OS/2 over OS/2 system with
NetWare clients installed, and the ability to install the
OS/2 client and NetWare Server for OS/2 on the same machine and
includes substantial software updates.
- TCP/IP Version 4 for OS/2:
New and enhanced features include:
- Dynamic IP Client -- Supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) to ease network administration by dynamically allocating
and reusing IP addresses, and Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS).
DDNS simplifies network access, operation, and changes with
dynamic update of IP addresses and IP hostname mapping.
- Socks Security -- Permits TCP/IP applications to access the
Internet through Socks Version 4-compliant servers, and provides
"versatile" socks client support such that a user can configure a
direct connection to corporate internal addresses and a socks
connection to external Internet addresses, simultaneously and
transparently.
- WinSock 1.1 Support -- Enables WinSock 1.1 to be used in
conjunction with Open32 and Presentation Manager(R) for the
porting of Windows 3.x and Win95 TCP/IP applications.
- Variable Subnet Routing -- A system with multiple LAN adapter
cards can function as an IP router.
- IP Alias Support -- Allows a system with a single LAN adapter card
to have several IP addresses. This enables OS/2 Warp to support
several Web servers (multi-home) on a single system.
- Multicast -- Allows packets to be transmitted to multiple users --
especially useful for multimedia, telephone and video
conferencing.
- PCOMM Entry -- "Personal Communications AS/400(R) and 3270 --
TCP/IP Entry Level 4.1" is based on the full-function product
available from IBM and is an enhanced replacement for the TN3270,
TN5250, and PMANT emulators. The new emulator features 32-bit
code, full font set and automatic font sizing, custom color
palette, improved cut and paste, APL support, command line
(IND$FILE) file transfer, context-sensitive help, popup keyboard,
hot spots, PCMCIA support, and problem determination aids. Two
host sessions are supported.
- Retrieve Software Updates -- OS/2 Warp 4 includes a new Web
browser-based process for automatic software retrieval and
installation of fixes and upgrades from an IBM Web site.

32-bit with several enhancements including alias support in the
sendmail.cf file.
- LPD Client and Server -- Print on a local or remote printer.
- Ping, Finger -- Contact and display information about a user or
remote host.
- Netscape Navigator for OS/2 -- A native OS/2, speech- and
Java-enabled version of the Netscape Navigator client software
will be made available by fourth quarter 1996 to licensees of
OS/2 Warp 4. This native OS/2 version of Navigator broadens the
scope of content currently available to OS/2 customers via the
Internet. Netscape Navigator for OS/2 client will be downloadable
at no additional charge to OS/2 Warp 4 users via a URL object on
the desktop.
- WebExplorer(TM) -- WebExplorer 1.2 supports HTML 2.0 including
expanded table support, and contains numerous fixes and updates.
- Java Support -- Java applets can be run from the OS/2 Desktop.
The Java Virtual Machine (run-time) includes a Just-In-Time
compiler which greatly increases the execution speed of Java
programs. Programming tools for Java (compiler, debugger,
utilities, and sample programs) are also included (HPFS resident
only) as well as documentation that aids in the creation of Java
applications and applets. Java programs can work with the
Internet-Aware Desktop.
- Remote Access Client -- LAN access is provided via dial
connections (asynchronous, synchronous, ISDN, or X.25). The
Remote Access Client can dial into either a LAN Distance(R)
Connection Server or OS/2 Warp Server. Also, one Remote Access
Client can dial another Remote Access Client directly to establish
a virtual network.
- Mobile Office Services -- This utility transparently caches files
used by a client while connected to a supported network and allows
the user to continue using these files even when disconnected from
the server. When the network connection is re-established, Mobile
Office Services detects the differences between the cache and
network files and prompts the user for resolution.
Application Compatibility
- Security Enabling Services -- Enables Installable Security
Subsystem to provide robust operating systems security services.
- OS/2, DOS, and Windows Support -- Since OS/2 Warp supports OS/2,
DOS, and most Windows applications (Windows 3.x and Win32s up to
the 1.25a level), these application investments are protected.
- DOS and Windows TCP/IP Support (WinSock 1.1) -- DOS, and Windows
TCP/IP applications written to the WinSock 1.1 specification are
supported.
- TrueType Engine -- New PM support is provided for TrueType fonts.
- OpenDoc -- Run-time support for cross-platform compound documents.
- Open32 (formerly Developer API Extensions) -- To ease the porting
of 32-bit Windows applications, support for a subset of Win32 APIs
and messages is available.
- OpenGL -- OpenGL on OS/2 Warp is a highly precise 3D rendering
API. This portable API allows software developers to include
high-quality 3D functionality in their applications. OpenGL is
used by CAD, entertainment, industrial design and modeling,
biochemistry, and scientific visualization applications.
- XMS, EMS Memory Support -- Older memory extension specifications
still being used by DOS applications are supported.
- SOM/DSOM 2.11 -- OS/2 Warp includes support for a
language-independent, cross-platform architecture for sharing
objects through SOM/DSOM.
- REXX/Object REXX -- Object REXX is the scripting language for
Workplace OS/2 and OpenDoc. Users can do scripting and authoring
of SOM objects. This capability provides for transparent access
from Object REXX objects to SOM objects and vice versa.
Both versions of REXX -- Classic and OREXX -- are included in
OS/2 Warp 4. The default, at installation, is Classic REXX.
Following installation the user can toggle between the two
versions by issuing the command SWITCHRX.CMD followed by a reboot
of the system.
- Input Queue Processing Improvements -- OS/2 Warp 4 includes an
OS/2 solution to detect misbehaved applications that cause system
hangs. This fixes what is incorrectly attributed to OS/2 as the
"SIQ problem." The fix is implemented at the system level as a
separate OS/2 thread that monitors the status of the input queue
and does not require any applications updates. A desktop settings
page for input queue processing allows users to enable or disable
this option and to set the sensitivity (for example, how long to
ignore the input queue before identifying it as non-responsive).
Once freed from the unresponsive application, users can then
terminate the application rather than rebooting the system.
- Dual Boot -- With dual boot, a user can easily switch back and
forth between OS/2 Warp and DOS/Windows for specific applications.
Hardware Support
- Dedicated DOS/Windows Session -- Enables a user to quickly switch
from OS/2 Warp to a dedicated DOS or Windows environment and back
again, using suspend/resume technology. This technology can also
be used to suspend/resume OS/2 Warp instead of shutting
down/rebooting. Program objects can be created to invoke this
function from the OS/2 Warp desktop. Dedicated DOS/Windows
Session function is supported for IDE/FAT systems only.
Networking connections are not maintained when OS/2 is suspended.
- Device Driver CD-ROM -- A new "as-is" offering on CD-ROM, the
Device Driver Pak is a collection of OS/2 drivers that are now
conveniently accessible in one place. The drivers are either
physically on the CD-ROM or users can download them directly from
the Internet using hot links to the home pages of many third-party
providers.
- New Device Support -- In addition to the drivers on the DDPak, the
following new drivers have been added to OS/2 Warp 4: Trantor
(SCSI), QLogic (SCSI), IOmega (SCSI), IBM RAID, Mylex RAID, S3
Trio (graphics accelerator), optical, and ESS 1688, ESS 1788, ESS
1888, Aztech Washington 32 (audio). Support for more than 80 new
printers, including the popular, low-cost HP DeskJet and Canon
BubbleJet printers has been added.
- Plug-and-Play (PnP) Support -- OS/2 Warp 4's enhanced PnP support
automatically detects and installs enabled drivers for legacy ISA
devices and PnP devices with no user intervention. An enhanced
Hardware Manager allows users to view system information about
their physical devices, device drivers, and the system resources
in use.
- High-Speed Serial Port Driver -- The serial port driver has been
enhanced to transfer data at 115.2 Kbps in native OS/2 mode.
Accelerating the transfer rate of the serial port driver helps
maximize the throughput of popular modems that support the
28.8/V.34 standard. Actual performance rates depend on system
configuration and other system activity.
- Display Data Channel (DDC) Adapter/Monitor Specification -- DDC is
the current industry standard for display adapters and monitors.
OS/2 Warp 4 supports DDC2-enabled monitors when used with
DDC2-compliant systems such as the IBM Personal Computer 750.
This support provides automatic recognition of enabled monitors
and automatic setting of the highest refresh rate, reducing screen
flicker.
- Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.)
Specification -- The OS/2 Warp generic IDE driver conforms to the
S.M.A.R.T. specification and has been enhanced to include a user
interface that warns users of impending hard drive failure. Data
transfer rates for PCI IDE hard drives are faster due to the use
of Direct Memory Access (DMA).
- Graphics Adapter Device Driver (GRADD) -- This new 32-bit graphics
device driver model improves PM performance and substantially
reduces the graphics driver development effort by moving function
to the operating system.
- PCMCIA Enhancements -- PCMCIA enhancements include card and socket
services, cardbus, and an enhanced user interface.
- APM -- APM 1.1 is updated to support suspend, resume, and device
management control.
