═══ 1. General Help ═══

The Edit Syslevel File program allows you to create and edit syslevel files 
that can be used with the SYSLEVEL.EXE command of OS/2.

═══ 2. System Name ═══

This is the name of the system that this syslevel file represents. 

It must by 79 characters or less. 


═══ 3. Component Id ═══

The Component Id is a 9-character identifier used to represent a particular 
component of a product.  This is usually a 9-digit number. The Id cannot 
contain spaces. 


═══ 4. System Id ═══

This is a hexadecimal number in the range 1000-F0F0 that represents the product 
corresponding to this syslevel file. 

For new products, this number should be obtained from OS/2 Standard Edition 
Warranty and Support. 

Note - The OS/2 1.3 Syslevel command only recognizes a syslevel file if it has 
a System Id with a 0 as its 2nd and 4th digits. This is not a problem in OS/2 
2.0. 


═══ 5. System Edition ═══

Select Standard Edition, Extended Edition, or Extended Services for products 
that are considered as part of the operating system. 

Select Other for any other products. 

Note - Some of the documentation on the new service tool that was sent out 
incorrectly listed a System Edition of 0xFF for Other.  This should be 0x0F. 
If a syslevel file was created with that documentation, this field will be 
invalid.  Select Other from the list to correct this. 


═══ 6. Version/Modify ═══

This is a number in the form X.YZ where X and Y represent the major and minor 
version and Z is the modify level.  For example, 1.30. 


═══ 7. Refresh ═══

The refresh level is a 1-digit decimal number used as a more detailed version. 
This is used by OS/2 SE, EE, and ES to indicate a manufacturing refresh.  For 
example, for OS/2 1.30.1, enter 1 for the Refresh Level. 


═══ 8. CSD Prefix ═══

The CSD Prefix is a 2-letter prefix used in the CSD number. For example, in 
OS/2 SE, the prefix in the CSD number XR05050_ is 'XR'. 


═══ 9. CSD Number ═══

The CSD Number is a 4-digit decimal number specifying the current level of the 
product.  For an initial release, this should be 0000. 

Subsequent CSDs should have increasing CSD numbers.  For example, 5050. 


═══ 10. Previous CSD ═══

The Previous CSD Number is a 4-digit number specifying the level of the product 
before the last CSD was applied.  For an initial release, this should be 0000. 


═══ 11. Country ═══

Select the country corresponding to this syslevel file. Note that CSDs are 
country-specific.  For example, a French CSD cannot be applied to a United 
States product (ie, with a U.S. syslevel file). 

Netherlands and Korea use the same internal identifier.  Since EDITSLVL cannot 
distinguish between the two, they are listed together. 


═══ 12. Type ═══

Type is an 8 character field that contains a product-defined type. This field 
is optional and may be left blank.
