OS/2 Warp 4.0 contains built in Voice dictation software, utilizing
an early variation of IBM ViaVoice. You can actually talk to OS/2!
New documents can be created using the programs which create them,
but it's often easier to drag a template to the location you wish to create
the new object. It acts just as a pack of yellow stickies -- you
can just keep pulling off a copy of the template. You will often
use templates to create new folders and text files. You can also
create your own templates from new or modified files, just by setting an
option in the object's properties.
OS/2 Warp 4 includes the Sun Java runtime, used to run Java programs
directly or from a web browser.
Additionally, this picture shows how any folder can contain a bitmap
background. This feature has actually been with the OS/2 desktop since
version 2. Each folder can have its own background. Backgrounds can be
centered, tiled, or resized to fit the window and the text foreground and
background color can be changed to keep the text readable. (And no web
browser is needed to do this trick!)
Any icon you see in OS/2 can be changed. You can drag any existing
icon into the icon window to make the change, or you can even create your
own with the built-in icon editor.
OS/2 shutdown. When you shut down OS/2 it remembers which folders and
programs were open and restarts them the next time you start OS/2.
