    526 FM/2 seems much slower than previous versions.
    527 The Find Buffer in FM/2 has been reworked to make it user
    528 settable in more place and significantly enlarge it. This
    529 significantly increases the loading speed for large directories
    530 However, most users will need to reset the buffer by going
    531 to the settings notebook scanning page and setting FindBuf.
    532 The new default for clean installs is 10240. We recommend you
    533 change to this setting (or higher) unless you have very limited
    534 hardware (less than 32 meg of memory original Pentium or earlier).
    535 
    536526If FM/2 won't run, the probable culprit is CONFIG.SYS. Your
    537527LIBPATH statement should contain a ".;" entry. If yours

    584573Known problems/shortcomings:
    585574===========================
    586575
    587 - FM/2 does not properly report sizes of some files with
    588 long name resident on Win95/NT drives.
    589 
    590 - File List Container fails to fill after drive change
    591 SYS0039 error.
    592 
    593 - Tree switching on Focus/Directory Change appears to be
    594 slower than expected.
    595 
    596 - Access to LS120 and FAT32 drives may be slower than expected
    597 
    598 - Icon display in Directory Container does not always match
    599 WPS icons
    600 
    601 - Spurious WPS Objects Handles may be created during some
    602 operations
    603 
    604 - Trying to run Global.exe from the command line in 4OS2
    605 (perhaps other shells) results in the execution of 4OS2's "Global"
    606 command. Global.exe can be run by placing it in quotes or
    607 prefixing it with *. See 4OS2's documentation for more information.
    608 
    609 - As with any OS/2 program significant changes (such as our
    610 change to OpenWatcom) will result in the incompatibility of
    611 older (VAC) exes with new dlls and vice versa. Attempting to run
    612 OpenWatcom exes with a VAC dll loaded in memory or in your
    613 libpath ahead of the new version will result in a SYS3175 in
    614 popuplog.os2. The reverse gives a SYS2070. If you experience these
    615 problems search your libpath for fm3dll.dll and remove or rename
    616 it. Your libpath should have "." (without the quotes) as your
    617 first entry to minimize the likelihood of this problem. FM/2's
    618 installer does not add the FM/2 directory to the libpath.
     576- See the section of this name in the FM/2 help file (FM3.hlp).
     577It is installed to the same directory as FM/2.
