PSnS/2 2.10D *DEMO VERSION* FOR 32-BIT OS/2
============================================================
[5604-358 2.10d] (c) Copyright IBM Corp. 1991, 1993. All rights reserved.
============================================================
Welcome to the demonstration version of IBM PSnS/2
32-bit, multithreaded backup as a background task for
OS/2* v2.x.
This full featured backup system will process your backups
throughout the time you are running your machine(s) while
you busy yourself with the tasks you need to do, leaving
PSnS/2 to take the sting out of the daily backup routine.
The zipped demo package of PSnS/2, PSNS2DEM.ZIP contains 3 files:
* this README.1ST file
* the PSS2DISK.EXE file
To be able to use the install program provided you MUST extract the file
PSS2DISK.EXE to a 1.44MB diskette, NOT one of 720K capacity.
Load a newly formatted diskette in drive A: and unzip the file by opening
a command prompt under OS/2 and entering:
[drive] [path]: PSS2DISK.EXE -D *.* A:
For example:
C:\CSERVE\DOWNLOAD\PSS2DISK.EXE -D *.* A:
The file PSS2DISK.EXE will then be extracted to the diskette in drive A: and
the files installed in the appropriate directories for PSnS/2's installation program
to be able to locate them.
NOTE: you MUST use the switch "-D" AND "*.*" on extracting the file for
the correct configuration of the diskette to be made. Should you omit this
switch or the *.* instruction accidentally, erase all files from the diskette and
start again, inserting the necessary switch "-D" AND "*.*" for PSS2DISK.EXE to
function correctly.
For installation to function correctly, you MUST install from your
A: drive only, using the character based INSTALL.EXE program provided.
This limitation applies to the demonstration version of PSnS/2 only.
The full product of PSnS/2 has a Presentation Manager* graphical
install procedure not provided with this demo package.
********************************************************************
********************************************************************
WARNING:
This demonstration package of PSnS/2 2.10D is a modified late beta version of the
forthcoming IBM PSnS/2 v.2.1.0 It is NOT a full working version of the program.
Backup of critical data MUST NOT BE ATTEMPTED as the RESTORE function has been
disabled and any such data backed up by PSnS/2 2.10D demo version would NOT be
recoverable using PSnS/2 2.10D. Backup Restore functionality is ONLY provided in the
forthcoming release of the full IBM PSnS/2 2.1.0 for OS/2 product.

INSTALLING PSnS/2 V2.10D DEMO:
===========================================================================
If you are unsure whether PSnS/2 will run on your system, consult the
MANUAL.INF documentation file provided, where you will find relevant information
under Appendix A: "Outline of Hardware and Software Requirements".
You can use the OS/2 VIEW facility to access this file.
The Installation details in this .INF file relate to the current beta version of the
graphical installation program provided with the full product, NOT this demo version.
To get PSnS/2 2.10D demo running on your computer you must install
from the diskette you have just created running it ONLY from the A: drive
of your computer.
There are three steps to installing PSnS/2:
* Setting options and copying from diskette
* Modifying some OS/2 system files
* Configuring your Backup Rulebooks which tell PSnS/2 what to back up.
RUNNING THE INSTALLATION PROGRAM:
Initiate an OS/2 session or open up a command prompt by double clicking
and enter on the command line:
A:INSTALL
or
A:INSTALL GENERAL
Note:
"GENERAL" is the name of the default rulebook. It has been preconfigured
to run a backup of the OS/2 OS2.INI and OS2SYS.INI files, as well as
backing up the OS/2 Workplace Shell, assuming the C: drive to be the one
on which OS/2 v2.0 has been installed. See "Editing Rulebooks" in the file
MANUAL.INF for details on how to adjust GENERAL to suit your particular
circumstances.
PSnS/2 is now ready to start installation and the first installation panel
is displayed.
Follow the instructions on all the installation panels. You will be asked
various questions about how you want to install PSnS/2. Answer each
question and press Enter. For Yes/No questions, type Y or N only. There is
almost always a default answer which you can accept by presing Enter.
It is recommended that you accept all the default answers. In particular
you should accept the default answer [Y] for the question "Do you wish
to install sample rulebooks?" Otherwise the default rulebook GENERAL will
not be installed.
There are notes at the bottom of each installation panel to help you answer
the questions as they occur.
=========================================================================
NOTE:
Two versions of the main program PSS.EXE are provided on the diskette:
* In the directory OS2
This is the 16-bit version for users of OS/2 v1.2 and 1.3
* In the directory OS22
This is the 32-bit version for OS/2 v2.x
Having completed all the installation stages, PSnS/2 2.10D Demo Version will have been
copied from your diskette and installed sccessfully on the drive of your choice.
You will now need to refer to the documentation provided in order to complete the
configuration necessary to run PSnS/2 on your machine.
==========================================================================
DOCUMENTATION:
Use OS/2's VIEW facility to access the full documentation provided in MANUAL.INF.
which will detail the remaining configuration stages once the program files have
correctly been installed on your computer's hard drive and it will provide comprehensive
information to enable you further to explore the features of PSnS/2's 32-bit, multi-threaded
background backup services for OS/2.
RUNNING DOS AND WIN-OS2 WITH PSnS/2:
Under certain circumstances, the demo version 2.10D of PSnS/2 may encounter difficulties
running in the background when DOS and WIN-OS2 VDMs are being run under OS/2 2.x..
Should you encounter this, for example, by noticing that PSnS/2 2.10D demo appears to have
stalled when checking your drive for changed files [the status bar will show "Checking X:"
continually], select "Priorities" from the "Setup" menu and alter ALL THREE thread priority
settings to "HIGH". Then close down PSnS/2 completely before restarting the program.
PSnS/2 should then run unhindered while the relevant VDMs are in use.
NOTE:
=====
ONLY alter these thread priority settings in cases where you are encountering clearly discernible
problems with VDMs under OS/2 v2.x.. Should you need to alter the settings, ALWAYS close
down PSnS/2 first and restart the program before continuing work with your computer.
