WCTOS2FX.DOC - December 10, 1994
================================
WCTOS2FX.EXE is a program that will patch WCToday so that it will start
properly in a multi-line environment under OS/2 Warp.
Symptom
-------
When running WCToday in a multi-line environment under OS/2 Warp with
"DOS Share" networking enabled, WCToday will refuse to run with a 10310
error (network initialization error). This is due to a problem in OS/2
Warp, see the "Background information" section below for an explanation.
Instructions
------------
Copy WCTOS2FX.EXE to the directory where WCToday is located and
run the following command from a command prompt:
WCTOS2FX
The program will indicate whether or not it was successful. It is safe
to run this program more than once, it will recognize files that have
already been patched.
Background information
----------------------
During Btree database initialization with DOS Share networking enabled,
WCToday makes a call to DOS to set the file locking retry count and
timeout parameters. This call completes successfully under MS-DOS, but
OS/2 Warp reports the call as an error. Normally WCToday will report an
error 10310 in this case (network initialization error). The WCTOS2FX
patch will remove this error check so WCToday will ignore the fact that
OS/2 failed the call. This allows WCToday to start normally.
