NEWDLG v1.1
-----------
This is just a little system-friendly hack made by Tomas Ögren...
Background story:
-----------------
I use OS/2. I hate that file-requester (WinFileDlg). I fixed it with the help
of the following programs:
. OS/2 Warp 3.0 (And Merlin beta)
. ResMgr by Martin Lafaix (lafaix@mimosa.unice.fr)
. RC.EXE from OS/2 Warp by IBM (I guess..)
. DLGEDIT.EXE from OS/2 Warp Developers Toolkit by IBM
. Brains/ideas from Tomas Ögren (that's me..)
I resized/moved/reordered the items in the dialog and added some hotkeys.
Use the PATCH.CMD to patch your own PMSDMRI.DLL (target dll).. See below..
I included snapshots of the req, so you can watch-before-switch..
(The colors are my own only, and will not affect your system.)
On request by Rafe Tennenbaum <rtenn@quicklink.com> i have now included a
smaller version that will fit on 640x480 and above..
As usual, this program is e-mail-ware.. like it? send me an e-mail..
******************************
NOTE TO ALL IBM'ERS OUT THERE:
******************************
Have a look at this dialog and compare it with the OS/2 standard.
Consider changing in future releases.

OS/2
RC.EXE (Included in OS/2)
Resource Manager, ResMgr, Included in archive.
Usage:
------
Make a backup of your \OS2\DLL\PMSDMRI.DLL (just for sure..)
Copy x:\OS2\DLL\PMSDMRI.DLL (x: = OS/2 drive) to the current directory
run "PATCH.CMD PMSDMRI.DLL LARGE" (for the larger version)
run "PATCH.CMD PMSDMRI.DLL SMALL" (for the smaller version)
Run UNLOCK.EXE x:\OS2\DLL\PMSDMRI.DLL (x: = OS/2 drive)
Copy the patched PMSDMRI.DLL over the old one
Reboot.
Connect to the Internet.
Send an thank-you-email to "Tomas Ögren" <stric@freenet.hut.fi>
Send an e-mail to IBM and tell them to include my dialog in future OS/2's
Enjoy.
Release history:
v1.0: 96-06-04 o First release ... 800x600+ version only.
v1.1: 96-07-01 o Second release, with both 640x480+ and 800x600+ version.
o Added hotkeys for the different fields.. (Just press
Alt and the underscored char to jump to that field)
o Now it patches your own DLL (No need for me to include
different versions for every version of OS/2)
o Now included the UNLOCK.EXE utility by Andrew Zabolotny
for easier installation.
Thanx to:
Martin Lafaix <lafaix@mimosa.unice.fr> for making the RESMGR.CMD script.
Andrew Zabolotny <bit@freya.etu.ru> for the UNLOCK.EXE program.
IBM for making OS/2
Everyone that uses OS/2
No thanx to:
IBM for making the ugly dialog
M$ for .. everything..
