    able to do a successful OS/2 Warp installation into a VirtualBox
    (current release) virtual machine?

    AFAIK additions don't work correctly, I haven't met anyone who managed to install them. I'm getting a trap when loading the driver.

    PS: the network adapter pcnet-fast iii (nat) works fine.

    Use an older version of VirtualBox, you mean? I'm using the
    current version with eCS 2.2 and the VBox additions installed and
    so far, things seem to be running on here on the DOS side of
    things.

    Virtual Guest Additions Driver for OS/2 (Beta)

    - the generic VESA gradd driver is being used (gengradd)
    Updated installation instructions:
    - boot to the OS/2 command prompt (alt-f1 while the white blob is displayed
    during early boot, then f2)
    - copy all files into the directory c:\OS2Additions
    make a backup copy of c:\os2\dll\gengradd.dll
    - copy our gengradd.dll to c:\os2\dll
    - copy libc06*.dll to c:\os2\dll
    - comment out the 'device=c:\os2\boot\mouse.sys' line in c:\config.sys (put
    'rem' in front)
    - append 'device=c:\OS2Additions\ vboxguest.sys' to c:\config.sys
    append 'device= c:\ OS2Additions\ vboxmouse. sys' to c:\config. sys
    - add 'c:\OS2Additions\ VBoxService.exe' to the start of c:\startup.cmd
    - reboot

    You need to do this manually so I suspect that you haven't installed the video driver properly if your not getting higher than standard VGA resolutions.

    Cheers,

    Actually, yes, I did indeed do this very thing. They just seem
    to work better on this eCS 2.2beta2 VM that I am running this
    setup on now than they did for pure OS/2 Warp.

    It means he uses the Mac OSX version/build of the MultiMail

    from time to time.

    Thanks for the explanation! Of course I didn't know anything about Mac.
