FEATURES OF THE OS/2 VERSION OF ME 2.2
PROCESS BUFFERS
The CTRL-X key will invoke an OS/2 command in an ME window. Try pressing
CTRL-X and pressing <ENTER> at the prompt; a copy of CMD.EXE will run in
the top window. When the command finishes, ME will sound a beep. If you
delete the command buffer while the command is running, ME will terminate
the command.
ASYNCHRONOUS BACKUPS AND WRITES
Don Perry, one of our most ardent supporters, has added asynchronous
backups and file writes to ME. This is not documented fully in the
shareware version.
DLLS in Macros
You can invoke an OS/2 dynamic link library (DLL) routine from within an ME
macro. To do this, first define an OS/2 environment variable called MEDLLS.
This variable must contain semi-colon delimited names of the DLLs which you
want ME to search for your routine. For example :
set MEDLLS=mouselib;dblib
These DLLs should be placed in a subdirectory which is contained in your
LIBPATH variable. (Read your OS/2 manuals for more info on LIBPATH.)
When ME finds an undefined function while executing a macro, ME calls
DosLoadModule() for each of the DLLs listed in the MEDLLS variable. ME will
then call DosGetProcAddr() to try to resolve the undefined routine.
ABLE TO RUN IN A PM WINDOW
Use the MARKEXE utility to convert ME to a WINDOWCOMPAT program. This will
allow ME to run in a Presentation Mgr window.
