Hi Tom,

Peter's article is interesting. Unfortunately, some of the interesting
links are dead and I don't know if Rick is available to answer questions.

This is typical IBM-ese. This number is pretty much useless. It's where
the kernel halted rather than where the trap occurred. That number is in
cs:eip.

Post the values in cs, eip and cslim and were can go from there. If you
don't have Theseus installed, you should do it now. It's usually the
easiest tool to use to cross reference the address to a particular
routine.

The best way to capture the trap screen info is with a trap dump. If you
are not set up for that, get:

http://home.earthlink.net/~steve53/os2diags/DumpTrapScreen.zip

This will allow you to capture the screens from a dump diskette.

>Warp 4.0 + FP15, JAVA 1.1.8

Which kernel are you using? Which versions of MPTS and TCP/IP?

>OS/2 system uptime is 0 days 00:00 hours

Bad. Very bad. :-(

Regards,

Steven
