- EXCAL, THE WORKPLACE CALENDAR
-
- INSTALLING EXCAL ON YOUR SYSTEM FOR THE FIRST TIME:
-
- 1. Copy the EXCAL.DLL to C:\OS2\DLL, or another path listed in
- the LIBPATH statement in your CONFIG.SYS.
-
- 2. Copy the EXCAL.HLP to C:\OS2\HELP, or another path listed in
- the HELP environment variable in your CONFIG.SYS.
-
- 3. Run EXCINST.EXE to register the EXCAL.DLL and create an instance
- of ExCal. EXCINST.EXE will prompt for the path you
- copied the EXCAL.DLL.
-
- INSTALLING EXCAL ON YOUR SYSTEM FOR THE FIRST TIME *WITHOUT PROMPTING*:
-
- EXCINST path Where 'path' is where EXCAL.DLL
- was copied.
- -- or --
-
- EXCINST /USELIBPATH If you copied EXCAL.DLL to a path
- on your LIBPATH.
-
- A progress dialog is displayed during installation.
-
- ALSO INCLUDE IN THIS PACKAGE:
-
- EXCAL.CMD is the REXX equivalent of the installation utility
- EXCINST.EXE. It shows how the REXX API can be used to create and
- modify ExCal objects.
-
- Online help is available from any of the ExCal objects (calendar, event,
- time, place), or by running VIEW EXCAL.INF.
-
- UPGRADING TO NEW VERSIONS OF THE EXCAL:
-
- To upgrade, the EXCAL.DLL must be replaced. But typically it is
- "in use" by the system. Here's two ways it can be replaced:
-
- 1. Add the line below:
-
- CALL=C:\OS2\CMD.EXE
-
- to the top of your CONFIG.SYS file and reboot. A full screen
- session will be started before the Workplace Shell is started. Copy
- the new EXCAL.DLL over the old and then EXIT to continue booting.
- Remember to remove (or comment out using REM) the line above in your
- CONFIG.SYS.
-
- 2. Or, another way:
-
- a. Rename the new EXCAL.DLL file to EXCAL.LLD (for downloading).
- b. Add the following lines to STARTUP.CMD, replacing 'x:\dir?'
- with the path you downloaded EXCAL.DLL (EXCAL.LLD) to:
-
- rem Allows replacing of EXCAL.DLL during boot
- IF NOT EXIST x:\dir?\EXCAL.LLD GOTO SKIPEXCAL
- DEL x:\dir?\EXCAL.DLL
- REN x:\dir?\EXCAL.LLD *.DLL
- :SKIPEXCAL
