This package contains a complete replacement for the SOM.DLL
file provided with the OS/2 2.0 GA product. The new version of
SOM.DLL contains changes to the dynamic class loading/unloading
mechanism that have been found to provide better synergy with the
Workplace Shell APIs for class registration. If you have noticed
problems unloading and then reloading the DLL(s) for classes you
have written, this version may provide better results.
In order to replace the system-supplied version of SOM.DLL,
download SOM DLLBIN (in BINARY mode!!!) to a temporary directory
as SOM.DLL. Then boot OS/2 from the install diskette, insert
diskette 1 when prompted, hit escape when the first install panel
appears to go to an OS/2 command prompt. From the OS/2 command
line, rename /OS2/DLL/SOM.DLL to /OS2/DLL/SOMDLL.BAK, then
copy the newly downloaded SOM.DLL into /OS2/DLL. (Note: the
character "/" actually represents an OS/2 backslash.) Reboot OS/2
to load and use the replacement DLL. If you find that the
workplace shell will no longer start-up, you have probably not
downloaded SOM DLLBIN properly. It must be downloaded as a BINARY
file, with no EBCDIC to ASCII translation. In this case, restore
the original SOM.DLL from your backup copy (SOMDLL.BAK) above, and
download SOM DLLBIN correctly. (You can verify that you have downloaded
correctly using the CRC PACKAGE on PCTOOLS to match the CRC values
with those shown in the SOMFIX PACKAGE file).
The file SOM SYMBIN is a replacement for the SOM.SYM file provided
with the Kernel debugger diskettes that are included with the
OS/2 2.0 Toolkit product. If you are not using the Kernel debugger,
you can just ignore this file.
