ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. README for the IPF Editor ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
You have received an evaluation version of the IPF Editor for OS/2 2.x. The
IPF Editor helps you create both INF files for viewing with the VIEW.EXE and
HLP files for use with C or C++ applications you develop.
This evaluation version lets you try the IPF Editor 25 times (i.e. you can
start the IPF Editor 25 times before your evaluation period expires).
You can get details on using the IPF Editor in the IPFEDOC.INF file supplied
with this evaluation kit. The IPF Editor also has complete online help
available for your convenience. You may also wish to reference the OS/2 2.x
Toolkit's sample documents and reference.
A sample project is supplied for your examination showing how to create online
help for C program. You may load the project file using the "File Select
Project" and selecting the project IPFEDEMO.HPR in the directory
\IPFEDIT\CSAMPLE.
A Second sample online document project is also available in the
\IPFEDIT\DSAMPLE subdirectory. Use the "File Select Project" and select the
project SHAKESPR.HPR to load the project. Feel free to change the source and
use the "Compiler Compile project..." to test out the usage of various IPF
commands. Please do not place altered files into the IPFEDIT.ZIP that you
downloaded.
You can use the "File New" option to help you create single file online
documents and compile them using the "Compiler Compile document file..."
option.
Please view the LICENSE.INF to see the license agreement you will need to agree
to before using this evaluation version of the IPF Editor.
Note: You must view the PCS IPF Editor License Agreement and agree to it to
legally use the IPF Editor program.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Ordering Information ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
To order the registered version of the IPF Editor use the enclosed registration
form IPFEDIT.REG (please print it and fill it out). To order by phone, please
contact Perez Computing Services at (206) 428-5025 Monday through Saturday 8
a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Reporting Problems ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If you discover any problems with the IPF Editor or have suggestions for
changes to the IPF Editor please feel free to contact us. Currently, the
problems (and solutions) listed below have been reported and may be addressed
in future versions of the IPF Editor:
o The OS/2 2.01 Service Pack version of Trident video drivers can cause a
protection error when the IPF Editor's dialog boxes are dragged across the
editing window (and therefore causing a repaint of the editing window and
dialog box). This is an problem with the Service Pack's Trident video
driver. Updating to OS/2 2.1 or changing video drivers solves this problem.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Using the Supplied C Application Help Sample ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Sample C application requires C Set/2 or C Set/2++ to build correctly. You
may be able to create it correctly with other OS/2 2.x compatible compilers but
we haven't tested it with any other compilers.
To load the help project for the sample program use the "File Select Project"
menu item and select the "CSAMPLE\IPFEDEMO.HPR" file (help project files have
the extension .HPR).
When you select a project file you will see a warning stating that the
unregistered version does not automatically load definitions from C include
files. The registered version automatically loads these definitions. You will
need to use the "Application Load definitions include file" menu option.
You can also create a Workframe/2 project to build this.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Installing the IPF Editor ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
To install the IPF Editor use the INSTALL.CMD program supplied with this
package. Type INSTALL <DRIVE LETTER> where <DRIVE LETTER> is the drive to
install the IPF Editor on. The drive needs 700K free and REXX installed in OS/2
to succesfully install the IPF Editor.
If you wish to manually install the IPF Editor perform the following steps:
o Unzip IPFEDIT.ZIP into a directory called IPFEDIT
o Create a folder entitled "IPF Editor Shareware Version"

o You may only install the IPF Editor on a single machine as outlined in the
license agreement.
No changes to your CONFIG.SYS are required. You may wish to adjust the HELP,
