IBM DEVELOPER'S TOOLKIT FOR OS/2 WARP README FILE
__________________________________________________________________
Welcome to the IBM* Developer's Toolkit for OS/2* Warp (Toolkit).
In addition to this README, the book--"Using Your Toolkit"--is
included to help you:
- See what is new and what has changed in the Toolkit
- Become familiar with the Toolkit
- Access information about the Toolkit more easily and quickly
This README, a supplement to "Using Your Toolkit," contains the following
information:
1. Introduction to the Toolkit
2. Installing the Toolkit
3. Updates to CONFIG.SYS
Use a non-proportional font to view this file.
INTRODUCTION TO THE TOOLKIT
__________________________________________________________________
The Toolkit helps you develop applications for OS/2 by providing you with:
- Header files
- Library files
- Online documents
- Programming tools
- Sample application programs
This version of the Toolkit has been updated to the SOM Version which
corresponds to the level of SOM in FixPak XR_W016 and OpenDoc for OS/2.
INSTALLING THE TOOLKIT
__________________________________________________________________
This section provides a step-by-step procedure for installing the
Toolkit.
You can install the Toolkit from CD-ROM or from diskettes created from
diskette images on the CD-ROM.
System Requirements
__________________________________________________________________
The following is the prerequisite software required:
o OS/2 Warp, Version 3 or
OS/2 Warp with WIN-OS/2, Version 3 or
OS/2 Warp Connect or
OS/2 Warp Connect with WIN-OS/2
o OS/2 Warp FixPak XR_W016 (available on the Developer Connection
Special Edition)
o Various components have additional software requirements as follows:
- Developer API Extensions components require IBM Developer API
Extensions for OS/2
- OpenDoc related components require OpenDoc for OS/2
- REXX components related to SOM or WPShell require OpenDoc for OS/2
- Libraries component requires OpenDoc for OS/2 and IBM Developer API
Extensions for OS/2
- Beta component networking sample requires Networking Support
(TCP/IP 2.0 or later)
Only the functions available in the version of OS/2 you have installed
will be available in the Toolkit.
Before you install the Toolkit, make sure you have:
- A personal computer that has an Intel386** (or higher)
microprocessor with OS/2 installed
- A minimum of 4MB of memory (8MB or more is recommended)
- A high capacity 3.5-inch diskette drive or CD-ROM drive
- A hard disk drive with 100MB of free disk space (to install
the entire Toolkit)
We recommend that you install a mouse.
Installation Program
__________________________________________________________________
Install all or part of the Toolkit through the Toolkit Installation Program
(a Presentation Manager/2* (PM) application). This program is available
through either CD-ROM or diskettes made from diskette images on the CD-ROM.
Through the Toolkit Installation Program, you can install:
- Header files
- Library files
- Online documents
- Programming tools
- Sample application programs
By default, the Toolkit installation will copy chosen files to your machine
and update CONFIG.SYS with respect to the locally installed files.
Installation Help
__________________________________________________________________
When installing the Toolkit, get online help for installation by doing one
of the following:
- Press the F1 key
- Select the Help push button
- Choose one of the help choices from the Help menu
Creating Diskettes from Diskette Images on the CD-ROM
__________________________________________________________________
If you are installing the Toolkit directly from CD-ROM, go to the next
section "Installing the Toolkit."
Create diskettes from diskette images on the CD-ROM by using The Developer
Connection for OS/2 Catalog program as follows:
1. Open The Developer Connection folder on your desktop.
2. Open The Developer Connection for OS/2 folder from The Developer
Connection folder.
3. Open The Developer Connection Catalog program from The Developer
Connection for OS/2 folder.
4. Find the product entitled:
IBM: The Developer's Toolkit for OS/2 Warp: 3.5" Diskettes
Note: This product is located in the Developer Toolkits category.
5. Start the diskette creation process by selecting the "Install
product" pop-up menu item. By default, all diskettes will be
created.
6. Select the "Proceed" button to start the diskette creation and
follow the instructions presented.
7. Once you have made all the diskettes, follow the steps in the next
section "Installing the Toolkit."
If you prefer to create the diskettes without using The Developer
Connection for OS/2 Catalog program, you create the diskettes as
follows:
1. Start an OS/2 Window or OS/2 Full Screen session.
2. Change to the following directory on the CD-ROM drive:
TOOLKITS\WARPTLKT\IMAGES
3. Insert a blank diskette in drive A. At the command prompt, type:
LOADDSKF TK03401.IMG A:/f
This will create diskette one.
4. Repeat step 3 for TK03402.IMG through TK03424.IMG.
5. Once you have made all the diskettes, follow the steps in the next
section "Installing the Toolkit."
Installing the Toolkit
__________________________________________________________________
To install the Toolkit, do the following:
1. Start the Toolkit Installation Program from diskettes or CD-ROM
as follows:
- Diskettes: Put the first diskette into the a: drive (or
other drive) and type the following:
a:\TKINSTAL
- CD-ROM: From The Developer Connection for OS/2 Catalog, find
the product entitled:
IBM: The Developer's Toolkit for OS/2 Warp: CD Install
Note: This product is located in the Developer Toolkits
category. Install the product by selecting the "Install
product" pop-up menu item. This action will bring up the
Toolkit Installation program.
If you prefer to install the Toolkit without using The
Developer Connection for OS/2 Catalog, start an OS/2 Window
or OS/2 Full Screen session. Put the CD-ROM containing the
Toolkit in the CD-ROM drive and change directories as follows:
CD TOOLKITS\WARPTLKT
Type the following and press Enter:
TKINSTAL
2. The system displays the "IBM Developer's Toolkit for OS/2 Warp
Installation" window. Select each component you want to install.
Depending on the components you select for installation,
additional components might be automatically selected for
installation. A plus (+) sign in a box in front of a component
indicates that the component has at least one level of
subcomponents from which you can select. Select the plus sign in
front of the component to expand the list of components.
3. If desired, change the default destination for the selected
components by editing the "Destination" entry field. If the entire
Toolkit is not required, components may still be deselected in the
usual manner. However, it is important that the paths are not
changed from their defaults for all components other than the root,
because the directory structure on the CD-ROM cannot be changed.
4. Select the "Options" push button to specify what updates to your
system are required. You can choose to:
- Install the selected files
- Register Workplace Shell* classes
- Create Workplace Shell objects
- Select the file where any CONFIG.SYS updates are to be made,
or deselect the "Write CONFIG.SYS updates to:" check box to
prevent the Toolkit Installation program from updating
CONFIG.SYS.
5. To install all selected components of the Toolkit:
a. Select the "Install" push button.
b. Follow the prompts in the message boxes to complete the
installation.
6. The system displays a message box indicating successful completion
of the installation.
7. To make the changes effective and have the Toolkit folder appear
on the Desktop, shut down and restart your system. After the
Toolkit is installed, the Toolkit folder appears on the desktop,
represented by the toolbox icon. If you installed the entire
Toolkit, the folder will contain the following subfolders for
the installed components:
- Beta
- C REXX Samples
- Development Tools
- Multimedia Bit maps
- Multimedia Sample Programs
- OS/2 Samples
- Presentation Manager/2 Samples
- Toolkit Information
- Try Me!
- Workplace Shell Samples

_DTS_HH_INCLUDED_compmgr
_DTS_HH_INCLUDED_osaterm
_DTS_HH_INCLUDED_osasc
_DTS_HH_INCLUDED_osagsc
