- * :ops.OS/2 2.1 March Beta ONLY
- * :abs..
- *The files in this private contain fixes to problems reported on the Mar.
- *Beta release of OS/2 2.1. The files may only be used on the March Beta
- *Release version of OS/2. To install these fixes you must first reboot
- *your machine into a maintenance environment. This is most commonly
- *accomplished by:
- *
- * 1. Boot off of your Install Diskette.
- * 2. Insert Disk 1 when prompted.
- * 3. Hit ESC at the first entry screen.
- * 4. You will drop to a command prompt.
- *
- *The files you will replace are:
- *
- * File Name Hard Drive Location
- * (assuming c: is your boot drive)
- * ------------- ---------------------------------
- * PMSHAPI.DLL C:\OS2\DLL
- * PMSHAPIM.DLL C:\OS2\DLL
- * SHPIINST.DLL C:\OS2\DLL
- * MAKEINI.EXE C:\OS2
- *
- *To replace the files:
- *
- * 1. You may want to backup the files you are about to replace.
- * 2. Copy each file from the diskette to the Hard Drive Location
- * in the table above.
- * 3. If your ini files have already been corrupted you may also
- * want to replace your ini file in C:\OS2 with those in
- * C:\OS2\INSTALL
- *
- *You may now reboot.
- *
- *The following is a list of known problems which we have attempted
- *to fix with this private.
- *
- *1. INI file truncation/corruption.
- *
- *2. Hang/Trap on first boot after installation over an existing system.
- * Usually at the black screen following the logo
- *
- *3. Hang/Trap on second or successive boots with beta. Usually on the
- * white screen with the clock pointer.
- *
- *4. Degraded system performance with high desktop activity.
- *
- *5. A warning will now show if you do not have enough space on
- * the drive which contains your ini file. You may still lose
- * some updates but your ini file will not be corrupted.
- *
- *6. If your INI file is corrupted due to power/hardware failure during
- * an update, there is now a recover process which will attempt to use
- * the last known set of "bootable" ini files builtin.
