Group Folder - Dan Kehn (74140,3263)
INSTALLATION
First copy your GFOLDER.DLL file to a disk. For example,
C:\OS2\DLL. Copy the Group Folder help file, GFOLDER.HLP, to your
help directory, for example, C:\OS2\HELP.
Then start the installation program, GFINST.EXE. It will prompt
you for the path where your copied the GFOLDER.DLL. When the
installation is complete, a new folder object called "Stuff" will
appear on your desktop.
Double-click the "Stuff" folder and select "Create standard groups"
from the menu bar's Folder pulldown to create an example set of
groups based on the objects included with OS/2.
NOTES:
A few users have reported system hangs when GFolder is opened
while the system is heavily stressed (eg, during system boot).
I've traced the problem to multithreading within WPS/GFolder. To
disable it, add:
SET GFOLDERSYNC=YES
to your CONFIG.SYS. This appears to prevent the hang, but makes
the opening of GFolder's synchronous, ie, you'll see the "wait"
cursor until the folder is done opening.
UPGRADING TO NEW VERSIONS OF THE GROUP FOLDER:
The GFOLDER.DLL cannot be replaced while it is in use by the
Workplace Shell. A simple way around this problem is to add the
line below:
CALL=C:\OS2\CMD.EXE
to the top of your CONFIG.SYS file and reboot. A full screen
session will be started before the Workplace Shell is started.
Copy the new GFOLDER.DLL over the old and then EXIT to continue
booting. Remember to remove (or comment out using REM) the line
above in your CONFIG.SYS.
