I used to control power management in DOS with PS2.EXE but
after I switch over to OS/2, I lost the ability to control
those functions which I earlier could in DOS with this
program. After I had installed the Utilities 2.0 diskette in
OS/2 all I got was the EasyPlaying icon in the WPS, the PCMCIA
icon in the OS/2 System icon and another Power icon in the
same folder. This last icon only shows the status of the
battery and since I never use the battery there is actually
nothing to display. What I would like to do is to stop my
harddisk spinning after 5 minutes of inactivity, at the moment
its configured in DOS to stop at 3.

Can you tell me where I should find POWEROS2? I have failed to
find it in the Utilities diskette. Am I supposed to install
the utilties with the battery working, is that why I dont have
any icon enabling me to control power?
