CSD INSTALLATION

This CSD should be applied in the existing FILESTAR directory
(target directory) to preserve your existing setup. If applied
over version 2.0, the installation program (InstallStar)
refreshes the distribution files and creates new sub-directories
named INFOZIP and INSTALL to hold the appropriate files. After
copying new files to these directories, InstallStar then deletes
the old files of the same name from the FileStar/2 directory. It
creates a new WPS Desktop folder named 'FS 2.1'.

You cannot install this CSD if FileStar/2 is running from the
target directory. You may install to a different directory if
desired and the FILESTAR.INI file may then be copied to that
directory to preserve existing settings. You will be prompted to
close all FileStar/2 windows if necessary and there may be
install errors that stop the installation if there are sharing
violations. You can prevent such an interruption by closing all
FileStar/2 related windows and dialogs before starting
installation.

*********************** PLEASE NOTE! ****************************
Make sure that all of the files in the FileStar/2 target
directory have the RO attribute set OFF. Some of the previous
CSDs set the BPMCC.DLL file to read only (R).
*****************************************************************

To install the CSD, perform the following steps (if you are
reading this from InstallStar, jump to paragraph 3):

  1.  Copy the self-extracting CSD installation file F2100016.EXE
  to a temporary directory or the directory in which you intend
  to install the program and run it to extract the files.

  2.  You may start the install program, SHSINST.EXE, with or
  without the compressed file, F2100016.CSD, as a parameter. This
  file contains all other installable files and installation
  definitions.

    (a) If you start the installation program with a command of
    'SHSINST X:\FILESTAR\F2100016.CSD' you will bypass the Source
    Directory dialog. Note that the full path to the CSD file is
    required.

    (b) If you start with 'SHSINST' the Source Directory dialog
    will appear. Press the browse button and find and double
    click the F2100016.CSD file. This will complete the source
    path in the dialog.

    NOTE:
    Some users are failing to add the CSD filename to the source
    path. There may be more than one CSD located in the source
    directory and the user is responsible for selecting the CSD
    file to install.

  3.  Press the 'License' button (required to enable the Install
  button) and read the License. When finished with reading the
  licence, you may read the README.TXT file by pressing the
  'Readme' button.

  4.  Press the 'Install' button to start the installation. A
  Target Directory dialog will appear. The Target Directory
  dialog entry field should be displaying the current FileStar
  directory if it is found in the config.sys path statement.
  Otherwise it will be displaying the current directory. If the
  target directory is not set to the FileStar directory, manually
  change the drive/directory to the FileStar directory or use the
  Browse button to find and select the target directory. Press Ok
  to accept the target directory as entered and the extraction of
  files will begin.

  5.  When queried about updating the Desktop, select 'Update'.

To insure that the InstallStar program files (SHSINST.EXE,
SHSINST.HLP and SHSINST.INF) are saved for future use, these
files are copied to the FileStar sub-directory INSTALL during
installation. You may delete these files from the installation
directory (either the temporary or FileStar directory) after
installation is complete. It is also recommended that you keep a
copy of the CSD file in the INSTALL sub-directory.

If you receive a BASE LEVEL INVALID error during installation,
you must reinstall from the original source file(s) and then
apply the CSD. The reason for this is that required data from the
original install is missing in the OS2.INI file.

_________________________________________________________________
INSTALLATION CLEANUP

Some previous installations by GTINST created a BMP sub-directory
and some did not. To create a consistent structure, this
installation creates the directory if it does not exist and
places the *.bmp files that SHS believes are appropriate for
distribution in that directory. If your installation has bitmap
(BMP) files in the main FileStar directory, please either delete
these files or move them to the BMP directory. The install
program will NOT delete these files from the FileStar directory
since some may be used in the toolbar, in which case the user
will have to modify the toolbar to reflect the directory change.

If the CSD is installed from the FileStar/2 directory, the
install program file (SHSINST.EXE) may be deleted from that
directory after installation - but first check and make sure that
the file is in the INSTALL directory since it may be needed in
the future. You should also save a copy of the CSD file in the
INSTALL directory.

_________________________________________________________________
FILESTAR RECENT CHANGE HISTORY

********  NOTICE TO ALL USERS  *********

When upgrading with a CSD, the existing version FILESTAR.INI file
should be compatible with the upgraded version. However, INI keys
may have been added to or removed from the upgraded version. This
may, in some cases, affect the saved data and/or normal program
operation. The following is recommended;

- Before upgrading, make a backup copy of FILESTAR.INI and store
it in a directory other than the FileStar directory. You should
always keep a backup copy of the file anyway if you have made
extensive changes to the configuration.

- After updating with the CSD, if abnormal operation of the
program is noted, delete the FILESTAR.INI file using the command
line AFTER CLOSING FILESTAR - or you may use FileStar to delete
the file IF YOU CLOSE FileStar using the 'Close w/o Save' option
found in the System pulldown menu (push the upper left icon in
the FileStar window). Then restart FileStar to create a default
FILESTAR.INI file.

If the anomaly previously noted is not corrected, you may restore
the old INI file by copying it back into the FileStar directory.
If FileStar is used to copy the file, be sure and 'Close w/o
Save' again to prevent overwriting the file with current data.

********************* V2.10.02 - 16 Jan 2000 ********************

The items fixed in Version 2.10.02 are:

1. Checking and then unchecking the 'All Fixed Disks' check box
in the Find dialog would cause a SYS3175 Access Violation.

2. The year 2000 was shown with a single '0' if Leading Zero was
not checked in the Country dialog (Numbers setting). The Date
window of FS/2 replicates the Country settings which is also
showing a single digit in the System Clock settings. This fix
forces it to use two digits in all cases.

3. Fixed some anomalies in the internal Print functions which
were causing some combinations of the selected font and font size
to stop printing after one page. Some other text formatting
problems were also fixed.

4. Added code to save the last used print setup so that the Print
Options dialog is restored as last used, even between FileStar/2
sessions.

********************* V2.10.01 - 02 Nov 99 **********************

The items fixed in Version 2.10.01 are:

1. Fixed - inability to restore on startup the last used
directory if the drive for the directory was the last local hard
drive in the drive list and the next drive was a CD drive.

2. Fixed - internal windows restored to wrong size if started in
minimized mode.

3. Fixed - message window displayed a blank operation message
after encountering a file copy error when copying a directory.

4. Fixed - when keyboard Enter was used to start a command in the
Execute dialog, two instances of the command were executed.


********************* V2.10.00 - 27 Sep 99 **********************

The items fixed in Version 2.10.00 are:

1.  Fixed a small memory leak caused by failure to release file
icon memory when files were deleted in icon views.

2.  Made some changes in directory delete to fix a SYS3175 that
some users have experienced. This was especially true when
deleting FAT32 directories on a Win98 client.

3.  Fixed a startup problem with a 'not ready' removeable drive
path stored as the last used path. System would error out with an
OS2 exception and the only recourse was to start with a new INI
file or edit the old one.

4.  Modified the directory copy function so that it handles all
files copied instead of relying on the OS/2 API to copy a
directory. Previously, if an error was encountered, the OS/2 API
caused the function to terminate with no available user options
to handle the error. Now any error encountered will pop up the
Copy Error dialog allowing the user options on how to handle the
error. This change also is applicable for directory moves
across drives since in such an operation the directory is
copied and then deleted.

5.  Incorporated an internal workaround for copying/moving files
and directories on an NT server. The OS/2 API DosCopy does not
work correctly and an internal fuction is now used instead of the
API inertface. This change is transparent to the user.

6. Changed the opening screen display and made other changes
commensurate with the change in ownership, including advancing
the minor version level.

7. Updated the HLP file to the V2.1 level.


********************* V2.03.00 - 02 Feb 99 **********************

The items changed/fixed in Version 2.03.00 are:

1.  Fixed Unzip v5.40 incompatibility when using ZipView.

2.  Fixed a SYS3175 error if program was closed during startup
while reading a second level or greater directory. This generally
required a directory that took considerable time to read. A
similar SYS3175 occurred if the program was closed at other times
while reading such a directory.

3.  Fixed a problem using a file filter where files contained
multiple periods or multiple characters the same as the first
filter character. Also fixed the 'Set Both' function to set all
selected filter options in both windows (the selected Attribues
and Sort options were not being set in both windows in prior
versions). Fixed other minor problems with some filter strings
not working as expected.

4.  Shortened the date in the data panel 'Date' window to 2
digits so it would fit using the default System Porpotional 10
font. It is still Y2K compliant.

5.  Fixed a SYS3175 that occured when using the ZipView functions
after any Zipview operation that required rezipping the file
(Delete, Add, Edit).

6.  Fixed the truncation of the directory 'Created' file date in
the directory 'Query' dialog.

7.  Fixed a 10 second 'lockup' caused by manually changing the
path in the directory Query dialog and then hitting 'Enter' to
start the query.

8.  Added menu items in the Drives menu to support removeable
media and FP6. These only appear when a removeable media drive
letter in selected.

9.  Redesigned the file 'Attributes' settings in the Filter
dialog to make the settings more intuitive to use. The 'N' in the
radio button selection list is for including/excluding files with
NO attributes. After upgrading, make sure this option is set to
(+) to includes those files with no attributes.

10.  Added directory sorting when 'File List' or 'Print List' is
used in conjunction with multiple directory listings (Read Branch
or Add Dirs) where more than a single directory is shown in a
combined listing is a single file window. The LED under the
'Time' window indicates a directory sort of the file window.


This moding can be used to save a file list of all files on a
drive by a 'Read Branch' on the root directory, then 'Select All'
and 'Save List'. Remember, only selected files are written to the
'FILELIST.SAV' file when saving a list!

NOTE! This can be a time comsuming operation if the selected list
contains thousands of files, especially if CRCs are saved with
the list.

11. Improved the 'Auto scroll' moding when drag selecting files
in the file windows to include variable rate scrolling and a
smoother scroll. The cursor MUST remain within the window to
scroll. Scroll rate increases as the bottom/top or left/right
edges of the window are approached.

12. Eliminated an anomaly that occasionally occurred where the
number of directories would be incremented one at a time if a
directory read was interrupted by starting a new read. This
condition also would occasionally show the same directory twice
in the tree.


Notes about date filters:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++

If you are trying to use a 'Greater than or equal to' or 'Less
than or equal to' date filter in the Filter dialog filter string,
use '>=' and '<=' and ignore the online documentation to use '=>'
or '=<'.  The latter will result in an 'Equal to' filter.

If you use a '*' to show all files at the beginning of a filter
string, all concatenated filters after the '*' are ignored. As an
example, if '*;-*.bat;>1-1-1998' is entered, all files will be
listed and the filters '-*.bat' and '>1-1-1998' are ignored.

Be sure and use a 4-digit date for date filters when using the
Y2K compatible versions (v2.01 and subsequent).

********************* V2.02.02 - 06 Sep 98 **********************

The items fixed in Version 2.02.02 are:

1.    Fixed another Zip v2.2 compatibility problem. Could not delete
a file from an archive in ZipView. Also it would not zip with
spaces in the target directory name or the FS/2 path.

2.    Fixed some other incompatibilities with 'SmartWindows'
concerning saving/restoring user configured colors. If problems
are encountered using SmartWindows, do the following;

    - Open the setup notebook to Options page 1 and push the
  'Default' colors/fonts pushbutton.

    - When asked to verify if you wish to delete colors/fonts from
  the FILESTAR.INI file, respond with 'Yes'. but hold    down the
  CTRL key is you wish to retain the existing color setup when
  you push the 'Yes' button. This will remove the colors from
  only the title bars.

    - Close the notebook and FileStar.

    - Restart and open the setup notebook and on the options page
  1, check the 'Save/Restore colors and fonts' option. This last
  action should restore all the user set colors.


********************* V2.02.01 - 02 Sep 98 **********************

The items fixed in Version 2.02.01 are:

1.  Fixed a WPS hang which occurred if MB3 was used to activate
FS/2 (clicking a directory) and the application that was active
was running the highest level of priority.

2.  Fixed a toolbar warning of two invalid toolbar items when
started from a clean install (no existing FILESTAR.INI file).

3.  Fixed an minor incompatibility with 'SmartWindows', a desktop
enhancer. Once a multi-directory mode had been used, the default
title bar was restored in the file window in lieu of any titlebar
enhancements provided by SmartWindows.

4.  Fixed some inconsistencies in the copyright notices.

5.  This time the OS2START.CMD and DOSSTART.BAT files are
included.


********************* V2.02.00 - 20 Aug 98 **********************

The items changed/fixed in Version 2.02.00 are:

1.  Fixed Zip v2.2 compatibility.

2.  Fixed an infrequent 3175 termination at end of Dir Delete.

3.  Fixed OS2/DOS windows to auto-close on Exit as per previous
    versions.

4.  Fixed a 3175 when dragging a file from WPS folder to FS/2.

5.  Added 3 new user configurable commands to toolbar (Change
    dir, Add dir, Read branch).

6.  Fixed 3175 when a directory path > 256 was read on disk scan
    (Find also failed).

7.  Added menu items to allow some user formatting of file lists.

8.  Fixed double read of directory when reading branch started
    with ENTER key.

9.  Fixed update of target path error in zip add dlg.

10. Modified Dir Query dlg to be able to query w/o reading
    subdirs.

11. Fixed long read time of disk tree build if a first level dir
    has many subdirs.

12. Fixed CRC check on zero length file.

13. Fixed logic when deleting directory w/o confirm (deleted
    files only).

14. Disabled being able to rename multiple files in Multi Views.

15. Increased max file handles.

16. Fixed notebook Fonts dialog to show current font when
    switching change areas.

17. Fixed notebook Colors dialog so that sample window works w/o
    having to select it.

18. Fixed Zip toolbar button to zip selected file/directory
    (depends on active window).

19. Fixed scaling of swap button in the titlebar at resolutions
    greaterthan 1024x768.

20. Fixed display of byte data on partitions greater than 2.1G
    and where ever else that data might exceed 2.1G. The displays
    in this case will be in Kb even if the type display selected
    in the Setup notebook is Bytes.

21. Added OS2START.CMD and DOSSTART.BAT files. These files are
    optional but must be in the FS/2 directory to be useful. Use
    these files to  tailor the windows started using the OS2 and
    DOS toolbar buttons.

22. Added support for writeable CD.

23. Added hot key toggle, Ctrl+Alt+3, to allow users with a
    3-button mouse to use it to double click when appropriate
    (drive, directory and file selections and list boxes) and
    single click on most other controls. It works in all dialogs
    also except for those that are modal. Users may still use
    3-party applications like Xit to assign other uses for mouse
    button 3 when ever the focus is not in FS/2.


********************* V2.01.00 - 14 Jan 98 **********************

The items changed/changed or fixed in Version 2.01.00 are:

This version has a new help file (FILESTAR.HLP).

*****************************************************************
*                  Operating System Anomalies                   *
*****************************************************************


1.    Warp 3 users without at least FixPak 10 applied will
sometimes experience video corruption after a drag operation,
especially while dragging the toolbar items.  There is no cure
other than applying FixPak 10 or later.  After it occurs, it is
persistent until the application is shutdown and restarted.

2.    Warp 3 users with FixPak 17 applied will have the shading at
the top of static text windows overwritten by the window.  This
will be most apparent in the windows in the Data Panel at the
bottom of the FileStar/2 display.  FixPak 22 corrects this
problem.

3.    Warp 4 users with FixPax 3 applied will need to replace the
OS2KRNL file with the one from FixPak 4 or apply FixPak 4.

*****************************************************************
*                            New                                *
*****************************************************************

(1)   Added bubble help to all the main window controls.

The help is toggled on/off with Ctrl-H or a new menu item,
'Bubble Help', found under Setup in the Action Bar or Window
Title Bar menus.  The delay and display times for the main window
bubble help are 3 times the Toolbar bubble help delay and display
times.  Either bubble help (main window or Toolbar) may be turned
off without affecting the other.     However, the Toolbar must be
displayed for the main window bubble help to be displayed.

The purpose of the main window bubble help is to help new users
quickly learn the features related to various windows
pushbuttons, controls and keystrokes, some of which are not all
that obvious.

The main window bubble help will be auto activated each time the
version changes.

(2)   Added a Show Duplicate files function.

The new Show Duplicate files function is a submenu item of
'Compare' on the Files menu. It is greyed unless you are in a
Multiple Directory mode, indicated by a RED title bar.  To enter
a MD mode, you either Ctrl double click on a directory different
from that already in the window to ADD that directory to the
files in the window or Ctrl+Shift double click to READ a whole
directory branch into the window.  Either of these actions has
the potential to read more that one file of the same name into
the window.  The directory for the cursored file is shown in the
title bar and also in the tree.

If you Ctrl+Shift double click on the root directory, the whole
partition is read into the window.  This potentially can be
thousands of files. The new Show Duplicate function gets slower
and slower as a function of the number of files (and duplicate
files) in the window. The best technique is to use some file
filters i.e.*.EXE;*.DOC;*. TXT;*. BAK;<1-1-95 which would limit
the files read into the window to these extensions and only those
dated before 1-1-95, so that the number of files being
scrutinized is limited. Realistically, it's up to you after the
window shows only duplicate files to decide what to do with them
so you probably wouldn't want a whole bunch to deal with anyway.

You may 'Select All' and then 'File List->Save File List' to save
the list of duplicate files, either to the printer or disk.

When using any of the five possible Show Duplicate menu choices,
keep in mind that you are working only with the displayed files.
If a more restrictive criteria is used, such as the same
'Name/Size' vice 'Name', using a less restrictive criteria with
the same displayed file list will have no effect. Conversely, if
you select 'Name' you may then select such as 'Name/Size/Date'
and further define the duplicates listed in the window.

The CRC option will result in only true duplicate files being
left in the window after the function completes regardless of
file name.

Use the new CRC file compare option (Shift+?) to determine the
exact binary comparison of any two files in the duplicates window.

(3)   Added Drives menu item 'Tree View' and code to put mini and
normal icons in the directory tree(s).  The real directory icons
are used, not some generic folder icon, as some programs use.
Loading the real icons is more time consuming and can increase
the normal drive read time as much as five times.  Loading a
generic folder icon provides no added value to the user.  If you
can get along without icons in the tree, do so for better
performance.

(4)   Added a file Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) to do a binary
compare of files. There is now a Files menu option (another
submenu of Compare) to initiate the comparison. Use Shift+? to
start a file binary compare, Alt+Shift+? for a file compare
program and Ctrl+Shift+? for a directory compare.

Results are displayed in the Message window. Works like the File
Compare option with regard to selected files, i.e.

   - If files are selected in both the active and inactive
     windows;

       - Compares CRC of the two cursored files and displays the
          comparison result.

   - A file is selected in active window but not the inactive
     window;

       - If a file of same name exists in inactive window,
        compares CRC of the two like named files and displays
        the comparison result.

       - If no file of same name exists in the inactive window,
        displays the 32-bit CRC for the active window selected
        file.

    - To compare two files in the same window, there must not any
      selected or of the same name in the other window.

(5)   Added submenu options to the Files->Attributes item to
delete longname and subject EAs for selected files.

(6)  New directory delete submenu options now support deleting
'files only' from either the selected directory only or the
selected directory and all its subdirectories. The Delete
Directory dialog has three new radio buttons to support these
options when using the dialog.

(7)  The files delete function has a 'Fast Delete' option toggle
in the Settings notebook.  When toggled on, less data panel
updating is performed during a multi-file delete operation
resulting faster delete performance.

(8)  The 'Rename' button may be used to set the case of all
selected files. To set lower case, select the files, press
'Rename', then press it a second time with the Ctrl key
depressed. To set upper case, repeat the procedure but hold down
the Shift key instead of the Ctrl key.

*****************************************************************
*                           Modified                            *
*****************************************************************

(1)   Added a 'Del All R/O' pushbutton to the Delete Error
dialog. Using this button in response to a file delete error will
result in deleting the remainder of the selected file list
regardless of the read only attributes.

(2)   The Delete, Create and Compare directory dialogs will now
save their position.

(3)   The Compare directory dialog will no longer stay on top of
FS/2 when focus is shifted to the main window.  If you can't see
it (it's not in the task list), press F4.  Remember that F4 always
shifts input focus to any FS/2 dialog if FS/2 has the desktop
focus.

(4)   Binary file compare is now enabled for use in the Compare
directory dialog.     All other options will grey out and a true
binary compare of the directories, with 'Same' and 'Different'
comparions, is possible. Speed is only slightly slower than when
using the other options.

(5)   There are two new buttons, 'Bin' and Txt' on the Copy/Move
error dialog that, when pushed with a file overwrite query
present, will do either a binary or text comparison on the two
files in question.

(6)   When copying/moving a single file, the file name is added
to the path in the 'to' field to make it easier to edit the name.
If the source drive is a FAT partition and a long file name
exists for the file, it is presented in lieu of the real file
name if the target drive is a HPFS partition.

(7)   The Zip/Unzip windows now appear, if hidden, after a 4
second delay when there is a prompt that the user should see.
This is to make sure that you see any messages that may occur,
such as password prompts.

(8)   Improved the functionality and speed of the directory
'Query' function.  Once the dialog is displayed, you may single
click on any other directory to start the query over on the newly
selected directory.  You may do this even while querying a
directory,    which will abort the current query and start the new
one.  There is also a new 'Stop' pushbutton on the dialog that
may be used to abort a query.  When a query is terminated, the
pushbutton becomes a 'Close' pushbutton.

(9)    When swipe selecting files, the window will autoscroll
when the mouse pointer is within one record from the top or
bottom on the file list in Details view.  It will autoscroll in
Text and Icon Name views    when the mouse pointer nears the
left/right    edges of the window provided that the mouse pointer
is moving.    There is a new option in the Settings notebook to
toggle this function on/ off.

(10)      If you hold down the Alt key when selecting    a file and
the file exists in both windows, it is selected in both windows.
If you are in Details view, the other window will also sync
scroll to align with    the files if these is adequate scroll range
available.

(11)      You may use the Ctrl+Shift+$ keys to see the paths to
various files that FS/2 uses.  The data will be in the Message
history dialog.

(12)    Improved the 'Drive Not Ready' handling for both local
and remote drives.  If a local drive is not ready and the user
clicks on it, a 'Drive not ready' message appears in the message
window. There is no auto recovery to the previous used drive, as
it was before, except when switching windows and the drive is not
ready for the window being switch to.

NETWORK USERS NOTE:

For remote drives, they are removed from the drives list when the
drives are remapped if not ready.  Remapping occurs with
switching windows and upon other events if the Auto-remap feature
is turned on in the notebook. A new 'Auto sense net drive status'
may also be enabled in the notebook which will automatically
remove disconnected drives. This updates the drive map or remote
drive status, if changed, every three seconds. Do not use this
feature if your network uses CDROM juke boxes.  The polling of
these devices will render them unusable.

(13)    A Multi-Directory view is now capable of containing any
combination of single directories (no subdirectories) and/or any
number of directories that have subdirectories.  It is also
possible to read more that one directory at a time.

Multi-Directory views are very handy to collect files matching a
filter in the same window and can consist of files from any
directory on the drives and, if using Multi-Trees, across
multiple drives. A Multi-Directory view is required to use the
new Show Duplicates function.

(14)  The Directory Filter dialog has two spin buttons for
setting the 'Find Buffer Size' for Directories and Files.  These
replace the previous 'Fast Find' check box and function.  The
default buffer size (and also maximum) for directories is 128 and
for files is 200.  It is not expected that any other setting
would be required for a local drive and these settings should be
left at maximum values for best performance.  However, for some
remote network drives, these values may be too high.  If
directories or files are missing in the tree or file window,
adjust these values downward until all files/directories are
being read. For good measure, set the final value used a little
below this value.

(15)   The File window 'Ring' pushbutton has been modified to
include the 'Twin' window style.  It functions exactly as the
keys F11/F12 and now toggles forward (LMB) or reverse (RMB)
through all five window styles.  It is slightly more awkward to
use, in the default styles, when toggling through the Twin style
since the button moves but this change was made for consistency
of operation.  The use of F11/F12 is recommended if toggling
through the entire ring of styles.     Users are reminded that a
toolbar option may be set up to toggle between any two styles.
Look for the 'two blue window ring' bitmap in the Builtin toolbar
items.

(16)  Changed the delete directory support to include renaming of
the delete directory to any legal directory name.  This renaming
is accomplished in CONFIG.SYS.

(17) The Message window now left justifies long messages that
won't fit in the 'normal' window and the window automatically
extends the full width of the FS/2 window if necessary.

(18)  More of the error messages that FS/2 can display are
extracted from the OS/2 message files.

(19)  Modified the Message window so that operation messages and
the progress bar are shown only when the window for the operation
is active to prevent conflicts when both windows are in use.

*****************************************************************

(1)   Fixed a bug in long file name handling of directories in
zip/unzip operations.

(2)   Fixed a video refresh problem on some machines when using
certain functions. Symptoms were menus or dialogs stayed on
screen when they should have been cleared.

(3)   Fixed an inability to associate a CMD file to a file
extension and run it.

(4)   Fixed the 'link' drag of file shadows to WPS folders. Use
Ctrl+Shift+Drag to drag a shadow.

(5)   Fixed a problem with the Directory Compare dialog where the
directory fields were not updated after using the Chg Dirs button
to change drive and directory.

(6)   Fixed a Zip/Unzip window title length problem that was
causing both Zip applications to close prematurely when zipping/
unzipping to deep level directories.

(7)   Fixed C: drive not being selected when 'Select All Fixed
Disks' were selected on the Find dialog if no B: drive
was installed.

(8)   Fixed inablility to double click execute DOS programs that
required DPMI memory ENABLED.

(9)   Eliminated more hard coded colors in some of the dialogs
that caused readability problems with different color schemes.

(10)  Fixed a problem that corrupted the directory tree when a
deeply nested directory name was changed.

(11)  Fixed a bug on FAT partitions that left an existing long
directory name when a directory was renamed.  This could lead to
the WPS showing indentical directory names under certain
circumstances.

(12)  Fixed a ZipView problem that seemed to occur on a heavily
tasked system    or a very large zip file.  The zip file contents
were either missing, the file count was incorrect or some files
were not completely displayed.

(13)  Fixed some inaccuracies in the Drives Query results
pertaining to cluster size on HPFS drives.

(14)  Fixed an annoyance that repositioned a file at the top of
the list after a drag copy or move.

(15)  Fixed a problem starting a Windows application with a
double click when using OS/2 for Windows.

(16)  Fixed a problem on peer-peer networks where, in some
instances, not all the files were found in a directory scan.

(17)    Modified the date functions to correctly handle the year
2000 transition.  A four digit year is displayed in most
instances. An exception is the Date window which is controlled by
the Country setting.

INFOZIP UTILITIES

InfoZIP has graciously allowed the inclusion of ZIP.EXE and
UNZIP.EXE with the FileStar/2 product. These programs are
provided at no cost to the user as a service. It is very likely
that you already have these fine native OS/2 archiving utilities.

InfoZIP products are widely available on the internet. For a list
of InfoZIP sources, read the WHERE file. You will also find a
link to the latest versions on www.filestar.com. The ZIP.DOC and
UNZIP.DOC files are included to provide documentation for the
InfoZIP products.

FileStar/2 makes extensive use of the Zip and Unzip programs. It
is recommended that you add the path to these programs to the
config.sys path statement so that one copy of the files are
available to all programs that use them.
