IBM* WorkFrame/2* read.me file:
IBM WorkFrame/2 V2 BETA Driver 0816
===============================================================================
IBM WORKFRAME/2 BETA TEST INSTALLATION
____________________________
1. REQUIRED PREREQUISITES
_____________________________
A) OS/2 2.1 product level
B) CSet++ v2.0 product level (no Beta's)
If you are not able to obtain the above pre-requisites, please
make sure that you SPECIFY your configuration when making problem
reports.
2. INSTALLATION
________________
This beta package consists of 3 ZIP files.
1) WF2B1.ZIP -WorkFrame/2 2.0 BETA diskette 1.
2) WF2B2.ZIP -WorkFrame/2 2.0 BETA diskette 2.
Use pkunzip to uncompress and unpack these files to a diskettes.
(3.5inch 1.44M floppy) with the following commands:
PKUNZIP2 -d wf2b1.zip a:
-label this diskette "IBM WorkFrame/2 2.0 BETA DISK1"
PKUNZIP2 -d wf2b2.zip a:
-label this diskette "IBM WorkFrame/2 2.0 BETA DISK2"
3) WF2BCPP.ZIP - a modified version of the cppinst.exe program which
comes with cset++ v2.0. This program will copy some additional
'Options DLL' to your ibmcpp\dll subdirectory, and will create
a sample project folder and CSet++ actions profile in your main
CSet++ tools folder.
NOTE: if you have installed a previous BETA version of WF2 Version2,
then you do NOT need to download wf2bcpp.zip again, nor do you
need to re-run cppinbet.exe. No changes have been made to this
component.
-copy wf2bcpp.zip to your harddisk, and issue the command:
PKUNZIP2 wf2bcpp.zip a:
-label this diskette
IBM CSet++ Installation for WorkFrame/2
These DLL's provide dialogs which let you select options for the
compiler, or other CSet++ tools.
This program has been tested with the above
configuration. If you run it with earlier (beta) versions of
the CSet++ product, you may encounter problems, one of which
is that the existance of CSet++ will not be detected. If you
encounter similar messages, ignore them and continue with
installation.
4) WF2BDOC.ZIP - contains a PostScript printable copy of the
WorkFrame/2 2.0 Introduction manual and an ascii file
containing a survey. Please fill out the survey and send it
back to us. (See covering letter for details)
NOTE: if you have installed a previous BETA version of WF2 Version2,
then you do NOT need to download wf2bdoc.zip again.
No changes have been made to this component.
The correct order of installation is:
1) IBM CSet++ (with or without WF/2 1.1)
2) IBM WorkFrame/2 2.0 Beta
3) modified CSet++ installation program (cppinbet.exe) see
above.
Installing from Diskettes
1) insert the diskette labelled
IBM WorkFrame/2 2.0 BETA Diskette 1
and type:
a:wfsetup
Insert IBM WorkFrame/2 2.0 BETA Diskette 2 when prompted.
2) insert the diskette labelled
IBM CSet++ Installation for WorkFrame
and type:
a:cppinbet
NOTE: this step is only necessary if you already have CSet++
installed on your machine. WorkFrame is a stand alone
program, and can be used with other compilers and tools.
6) after re-booting as necessary, WorkFrame/2 is ready for
use. Please see the section below, before beginning the
tutorial. We invite you to try the tutorial which will
help to familiarize you with WorkFrame/2 v2.0. The tutorial
is located in the "Information" folder, which is located in
the main IBM WorkFrame/2 folder on the desktop.
3. Tutorial
___________
The first part of the tutorial presents an overview of the
WorkFrame/2. This information is also contained
in the PostScript version of the Introduction booklet
delivered with the Beta package.
When doing the tutorial:
- Do not try to set the "Respect case in symbol names" option
when "Setting Linker Options". This option does not exist.
- When specifying the make file for the Functions project,
specify it as MAK.BAK rather than the name given in the
tutorial. This file is shipped with the product.
- Do NOT follow the steps for creating a make file. Your system
may hang.
- When "Making" the project for the first time, the compiler,
DDE4CPP.EXE, may trap. Keep repeating the make, until all
nmake actions end with return codes of 0 (zero).
- In the "Adding a Function" section, the line numbers are wrong:
- Line 35 is really line 45.
- Line 56 is really line 66.
- Line 167 is really line 176.
- Line 174 is really line 183.
- Using Ctrl+H may not work on some systems, from within EPM. Ctrl-H
from within EPM should provide keyword help.
- The "Running the Project" section contains the following typos:
- "Open->Test program" should be "Open->Target program".
- 2.03 should be 2.3 and 4.1209 should be 5.29.
- Skip the section "Adding the Calculator as an Action" and all
subsequent ones.
KNOWN PROBLEMS/LIMITATIONS
__________________________
4. MakeMake tool is not functional
____________________________
There are various problems with the Makefile generation tool, and its
interaction with the options dlls. They generally appear as
general protection faults, or else MakeMake dies quietly. We do not
recommend use of MakeMake at this time. (MakeMake appears in the tools
folder). It does seem to work for the Hello World sample, and many other
projects, especially those using only a single directory.
UPDATE for 0816 driver.
MakeMake is now working better, although there are still known problems.
Please give it a try.
6. Error context help in EPM
____________________________
If you have started EPM in an iconized form (EPM /i), you may
encounter problems importing the compiler error messages. Double
clicking on an error line will edit the file correctly, but the
errors may not be highlighted. If EPM has not been previously
started, the errors should appear correctly highlighted.
NOTE: In order to make WorkFrame/2 send errors to the editor do the
following, assuming EPM is the editor.
This must be done for each project.
1) open the settings for your project.
2) Select the 'Actions' page find the 'Edit' action and press
'Options'
3) Change the parameters to /W %a %z and check the
'Send errors to editor' checkbox.
4) save changes.
Now, when you have a compilation error, double click on the error
from within a monitor window, and the file containing the error
will be opened, and positioned on the error. Note also that an
additional item is added to the EPM menu bar.
7. Hangs, Traps, and other problems
1) After 'Adding', or 'Changing' an action in an action profile,
WorkFrame/2 sometimes hangs. Try to recover with CTRL_ALT_ESC,
but you may have to re-boot.
NOTE for driver 08/16 -this should now be fixed.
2) Another spurious problem is 'loss of focus'. At various times
you may find that none of your windows has the foreground emphasis,
although mouse actions may work. Try closing WF/2 from the system
task list, or CTRL_ALT_ESC.
NOTE for driver 08/16 -this should now be fixed.
3) On some machines a compile action run through monitor may result
in a protection fault in module IBMCPP. Retry the action. This
seems to be machine dependent.
4) If you are using the MakeMake utility, in conjunction with the
DDE4ICC2 options dll, you may see strange messages or traps.
We are attempting to rectify this situation (that's why we don't
recommend use of MakeMake at this time).
Please report these problems via Compuserve, with a scenario
which will allow us to re-create the problem if possible.
8. IBM WORKFRAME/2 REINSTALLATION
_________________________________
Each installation of WorkFrame/2 V2.0 generates a new set of
WorkFrame/2 templates in the Template Folder on the Desktop.
To avoid multiple WorkFrame/2 templates:
When?
-----
1. After undo-installation and before running
re-installation again.
2. Before re-installation of WorkFrame/2 V2.0 on top
of a previously installed WorkFrame/2 V2.0
without performing undo-installation.
How?
----
1. Open template folder from the desktop
2. Select a WorkFrame/2 template
3. Click on the left button of the mouse
4. Select "Open ->" from pop up
5. Select "Settings"
6. From "Settings" note book, select "General"
page
7. From "General" page, deselect the "template"
checkbox.
8. Repeat for the rest of the WF/2 templates
9. Go to an OS/2 Window (command prompt)
10. Make boot drive as the default drive
11. Change current directory to "DESKTOP\TEMPLATE"
12. There should be 2 files and 1 DIR for WorkFrame/2
ACTIONS_ (file)
WORKFRAM (file)
WORKFRA1 (dir)
Sometimes, it might have other names,
but they must be:
ACTIONxx (file)
WORKFRxx (file)
WORKFRxx (dir)
Delete these files and remove the directory.
The WorkFrame/2 templates will be deleted
after these files and directory are removed.
13. WorkFrame/2 re-installation can be run now, and
a new set of WorkFrame/2 templates can be
generated by the re-installation.
