- This is the list, as of the date shown above, of all fixes placed by
- Department 17J on either OS2CSD or OS2TOOLS. Other 2.0 fixes are not
- supported by the Boca Technical Group. All fixes listed here may be
- distributed externally. The difference between OS2CSD and OS2TOOLS is
- that OS2CSD is for fixes, and the individual files will be removed when
- a service release is done. The service release will then be placed on
- OS2CSD in its place. OS2TOOLS will hold 'enhancements' and utilities
- for OS/2 2.0.
-
- All fixes are on External BBS's and CIS except where noted. In some
- case the EXTERNAL name may be different and is so noted. When the names
- are the same, external names have the ZIP extension.
-
- NOTE: Access to IBM's OS2CSD and OS2TOOLS repositories is available to
- IBM personnel only.

- SOM DLL 69159 8-19-92 5:49p
- WPPRINT DLL 530297 8-19-92 11:26p
-
- This package contains a complete replacement for the SOM, PMWP, and PMPRINT.
- DLLs files provided with the OS/2 2.0 GA product. The new version of
- SOM.DLL contains changes to the dynamic class loading/unloading
- mechanism that have been found to provide better synergy with the
- Workplace Shell APIs for class registration. If you have noticed
- problems unloading and then reloading the DLL(s) for classes you
- have written, this version may provide better results.
-
- The PMWP.DLL contains fixes for WinCreateObject, WinSetObjectData and
- WinDestroyObject api calls that allow the programmer to create and
- maintain objects in the workplace shell. In particular, it is now
- possible to specify a setup string of >255 chars, environment strings in
- the setup string are now handled properly and a spurious failure mode
- for all of these apis has been fixed. In addition, it is now possible to
- copy a subdirectory containing a large number of files without error.
-
- PMPRINT.DLL has been modified to export various print related workplace
- shell object classes.
-
- OS2386.LIB contains exports for four different workplace shell object
- classes that were not exported in the GA product, such as the WPDesktop
- object class. If you intend to subclass workplace object classes,you must
- replace this lib in your toolkit library directory to avoid linker errors
- when building your code.

-
- Package Name - EPMBBS
-
- All ZIP files and EPMBBS.TXT (the README) are available extenally
-
- Upgrade to EPM to take it to level 5.51 and ADD macro support.
-
- EPMBBS.TXT is basically the same as this text will some more info.
-
- This package consists of nine sets of files. You have the option of
- replacing your current Enhanced Editor (EPM 5.50) with EPM 5.51, or
- adding EPM 5.51 to your system so that you can use either version.
- If you elect to replace the current EPM, then you can unpack EPMAPPS.ZIP
- into your \os2\apps directory, and you can erase the ETKE550.DLL and
- ETKR550.DLL from your \os2\apps\dll directory. If you would rather
- keep both versions, then you can unpack EPMAPPS.ZIP into a new directory
- and either run EPM 5.51 from there, or ensure that your EPMPATH and PATH
- include that directory before \os2\apps when running EPM 5.51.
-
- The contents of the files in this package are as follows. You do not need
- to download or unpack all of them.
-
- EPMAPP.ZIP - Unpack into \os2\apps, or as described above
- EPM.EXE - The 5.51 version of the editor
- ETPM.EXE - The 5.51 version of the macro compiler
- PMMORE.EXE - Useful for debugging Rexx macros; entering RXSHELL from
- EPM will start PMMORE and redirect STDOUT to this window.
- SAY and TRACE output will be displayed there.
- *.EX - the 5.51 version of the compiled macros
- EPMHELP.QHL - the updated "quick help" file
- EPMTECH.NDX - An index file for getting macro programmer help.
-
- EPMBK.ZIP - Unpack into a directory in your BOOKSHELF setting
- EPMUSERS.INF - The EPM User's Guide
- EPMTECH.INF - The EPM Macro Programmer's Technical Reference
-
- EPMDLL.ZIP - Unpack into \os2\apps\dll or a directory in your LIBPATH
- ETK*551.DLL - The E Toolkit DLLs.
-
- EPMMAC.ZIP - Unpack into an E_MACROS directory and add to your EPMPATH.
- - This contains the macros used to build the standard .ex files.
-
- EPMHLP.ZIP - Updated EPM.HLP; unpack into \os2\help
-
- EPMSMP.ZIP - Unpack into a sampmacs directory and add to your EPMPATH.
- *.e - Sample E macro code; includes both useful programs and building
- blocks that you can use in writing your own code.
-
- EBOOKE.ZIP - Unpack into an EBOOKIE directory.
- EBookie is an EPM add-on that makes it much easier to create tagged
- source files. Support is included for Bookmaster, Starter Set GML, and
- IPF files (used to create OS/2 Help and View files).
-
- LAMPDQ.ZIP - Unpack; contains a file to be uploaded to the host.
- LAMPDQ lets you enter commands in EPM that will be executed on your
- (logged on) VM host session and see the results in EPM. Requires
- Communications Manager.
-
- EPMREX.ZIP - Unpack into a directory in your path.
- *.erx - contains some sample EPM / Rexx macros.
-
- The minimum you need in order to get EPM 5.51 is EPMAPPS and EPMDLL; add
- EPMHELP for the new help file. If you want to recompile the macros,
- you'll need E_MACROS, and probably EPMBOOK for the documentation. If you
- want to write your own macros, or if you just want to try some of the
- samples, get a copy of SAMPMACS. EBOOKIE and LAMPDQ are only for those
- who require their somewhat specialized functions.
