               Quick Fix for OS/2 2.0 DOS Box FOSSIL Operations

OS/2 2.0 allows simultaneous OS/2, DOS, and Windows sessions.  Virtually any
DOS program can be run in a DOS box the same as it runs under real DOS.
However, OS/2 2.0 is designed to protect tasks vigorously from one another,
and will allow only one comm port to be accessed from within any session.
This poses a problem for X00 and other FOSSIL drivers, which attempt (at
install time) to check for all ports available.

This beta version of X00 has been modified to function under OS/2, and has
been tested using the following configuration:

X00.SYS copied to X00.EXE and used as a TSR.

Commands used to set up Com1 locked at 38400 bps:

MODE COM1:38400,N,8,1,,TO=OFF,XON=OFF,IDSR=ON,ODSR=ON,OCTS=ON,DTR=ON,RTS=HS,BUFFER=ON
X00 E 1 B,0,38400 F=15 T=1024 R=2048

Smaller transmit buffers may yield faster transmit speed.

This version of X00 will have to do until Ray Gwinn receives and experiments
with an OS/2 V2
