Mike, the rule that works for me is that NOTHING supercedes the Warp
system directories. VACPP 3 had a bad habit of back leveling SOM that
would kinda sneak up and bite when you least expected it. I don't know
what SOM directories are used by Lotus - don't run the critter - but
keeping everything subservient to the original system ir's works for
me.
WTF! Just looked at config.sys and what a mess on the set somir= line
- how the heck is this thing running, anyway? Anyway, reset it and
I'll see what happens - maybe that where some of the funnies are coming
from lately.
FYI, the MCP1 with CP03 has the following:
Directory of E:\OS2\ETC
9-06-00 12:42p 66,058 0 a--- REXX.IR
6-30-99 4:28p 496,503 0 a--- SOM.IR
11-14-00 6:06p 60,855 0 a--- WPDSERV.IR
11-14-00 5:53p 274,823 0 a--- WPSH.IR
4 file(s) 898,239 bytes used
and each in referenced with an explicit path in config.sys.
