- Gui Programming Facility
-
- Installing Gpf
-
- This INSTALL program performs these functions:
-
- o creates a directory structure on your hard drive
- o transfers all files to those directories
- o modifies the CONFIG.SYS file (you are given the choice of direct or indirect
- modification)
- o installs Gpf into the Group Main TaskList
- o prompts you to remove your diskette and conduct a Shutdown/Re-boot
-
- To start the procedure, select the Installation- Setup menu option. Further
- HELP is available for each screen (use F1.)
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. MainWindow ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Window Src Dst ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- This window is used to define:
-
- 1. the diskette (source) drive
- 2. the destination (target) drive
- 3. the destination directory. Gpf will create this directory, if required, and
- several sub-directories below it.
- 4. a choice of direct CONFIG.SYS modification, to the existing file, or
- changes are made to a re-named version. The latter procedure is
- recommended, so that you can verify proper edits to your CONFIG.SYS
-
- The CONFIG.SYS which will be installed or appended to are:
-
- 1. the LIBPATH variable
- 2. the PATH variable
- 3. the HELP variable
- 4. the BOOKSHELF variable (non-DEMO versions)
- 5. the LIB variable (nonDEMO versions)
- 6. the INCLUDE variable (non-DEMO versions)
- 7. a SET GPF= variable, set to the drive/directory you specify
-
- Pressing Ok means all choices are acceptable (as is or edited by you) and
- Installation will begin.
-
- Pressing Cancel returns you to the main screen without initiating an Install.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.1. ComboBox Output Drive ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Scroll and click to select the destination drive for the Gpf directory tree.
- Ensure the drive has at least 1MB free space.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.2. EntryField OutPut Path ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Designate the 'root' directory for Gpf files and sub-directories. This tree
- will be created if necessary.
-
- A leading '\' character is optional, and assumed to be present if you choose
- not to write one.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.3. ConfigSys ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Selecting this option will permit Gpf to modify your existing CONFIG.SYS.
-
- This is usually successful if your file is written in a manner consistent with
- the original OS/2 installation; this may fail if "strangenesses" exist.
-
- Note: For example, Gpf assumes there are no embedded carriage returns in an
- environment variable definition, i.e the entire defintion occupies one
- and only one line.
-
- The safe method is the other, that of placing all changes into a copy of your
- CONFIG.SYS This file is called CONFIG.NEW, which you are expected to visually
- verify with a text editor, then copy it to CONFIG.SYS if all is well.
-
- Note: A copy operation over-writes the destination file if it exists.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.4. ConfigNew ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- All Gpf modifications are made to a copy of the current CONFIG.SYS.
-
- This is the recommended option. Inspect this file with an editor after you exit
- the Install program. Once satisfied additions are correct, copy this file to
- CONFIG.SYS and conduct a shutdown/reboot to make these changes active.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.5. SrcDst Ok ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Starts the Installation process. You will be returned to the previous screen,
- from which you can monitor directory and file transfer progress.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.6. SrcDst Cancel ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The Cancel key will return you to the entry screen without initiating an
- installation. You will then have the option of a restart or an exit.
