OS/2 2.1 Compression Compatibility Package
Starting in late June, OS/2 2.1 began shipping a reduced diskette
package to take advantage of better diskette compression techniques.
These diskettes are salmon in color (the original package contained
blue diskettes.)
Because the layout of the diskettes is different for the two packages,
the enclosed CMD files will need to be run to allow selective
installs to work correctly if the installation package is
different from the package that is currently available to you.
This diskette contains files which are to be used to alter
the user's system to accommodate the other OS/2 package. This
procedure is to be used only in those situations in which a user
has a mismatch. If you are not sure if you have a mismatch, run
the CHECK.CMD file to determine which version and type of package
is installed.
The steps to follow are:
1. Run CHECK.CMD to determine which package was originally
installed and follow its instructions for the correct
CMD file to use.
2. Run the appropriate CMD file (for example, BLU2SAL3).
Follow the instructions in the CMD file to correctly alter
the diskettes.
The files contained in the self-extracting ZIP file are as
follows:
CHECK.CMD used to determine the version of OS/2 2.1 and the
type of diskettes used to install the system.
BLU2SAL3.CMD used for conversion of a system originally installed
with "blue" 3.5 inch diskettes going to the "salmon" 3.5 inch
diskettes.
BLU2SAL5.CMD used for conversion of a system originally installed
with "blue" 5.25 inch diskettes going to the "salmon" 5.25 inch
diskettes.
SAL2BLU3.CMD used for conversion of a system originally installed
with "salmon" 3.5 inch diskettes going to the "blue" 3.5 inch
diskettes.
SAL2BLU5.CMD used for conversion of a system originally installed
with "salmon" 5.25 inch diskettes going to the "blue" 5.25 inch
diskettes.
Four EXE files used by the conversion CMD files to alter the
reinstal.ini files.
