The programs in this archive allow you to use the SmartVU display on
a Dell 450DE computer under OS/2 2.0. While the programs have only
been tested on a 450DE, they should work on other Dell machines equipped
with SmartVU displays (as long as the i/o port addresses are the same).
Installation instructions:
1. Copy the file PORTIO.DLL to a directory listed in your LIBPATH
statement.
2. Copy the files SMVUDRVR.EXE and SMARTVU.EXE to a directory
listed in your PATH statement.
3. Create a file named STARTUP.CMD in the root directory of your
boot drive. The STARTUP.CMD file should contain the following
statements:
detach smvudrvr
exit
4. Make sure that the command "IOPL=YES" is present
in your CONFIG.SYS file.
The SmartVU display will be enabled the next time you reboot
your machine.
Description of files:
PORTIO.DLL : This dynamic link library contains the functions
used to access the i/o ports.
SMVUDRVR.EXE : SmartVU display driver program. This program should
be run as a detached background process by typing
"detach smvudrvr" at the OS/2 command prompt.
SMARTVU.EXE : This program sends messages to the SmartVu display
driver, telling the SmartVU display driver to
perform the specified action.
Usage: SMARTVU action [msg]
action can be one of the following:
date ... Display the current date.
time ... Display the current time.
datetime ... Alternate between the current
date and time.

message to be displayed is contained
in the msg parameter and must be
surrounded by quotes.

swapsize ... Display the current swap file size (in MB).
The msg parameter must contain the full
pathname of the swap file.
