PM Attrib
The Easy Attribute Management Solution
PLEASE READ THIS FILE IN ITS ENTIRETY! IT CONTAINS BOTH INSTALLATION
AND LICENSING INFORMATION.
INTRODUCTION
PM Attrib brings the functionality of the DOS and OS/2 ATTRIB.EXE
command to the OS/2 Workplace Shell. Why PM Attrib? If you've ever
copied files from a CD Rom using the OS/2 Workplace Shell, then you have
all ready seen why. OS/2, in its infinte wisdom, perserves the
read-only attribute of the files copied from the CD. This is nice, but
makes some files (.DLLs for example) rather unusable.
Enter PM Attrib. Now, rather than shelling out to the command line to
run ATTRIB.EXE, you can modify attributes of many files at once using
PM and Drag and Drop. Simply drop any file or directory on the Drop
Zone and the attributes checked/unchecked will become set/clear on that
file or directory. You can even set/clear attributes of subdirectories
of a dropped directory. In other words, you can set/clear attributes of
an entire directory structure by simply dropping the first level folder
onto the Drop Zone.
ARCHIVE CONTENTS
There are two PM Attrib archives floating around cyberspace. One is
called PMATTR10.ZIP and the other is called PMATNO10.ZIP. The latter is
significantly smaller, and for good reason. PM Attrib was created by
Watcom's VX-Rexx version 2.0a ((c) Watcom International). The
PMATTR10.ZIP version of PM Attrib includes the VROBJ.DLL file from
VX-Rexx 2.0a that allows VX-Rexx programs to run. The smaller archive
does not contain this file. Both archives are made available so that
users who already possess a copy of this file need not spend extra time
downloading it. Please feel free to share PM Attrib with other people
(via BBSs, online services, whatever), but please distribute both
archives to any one site (see DISTRIBUTION below).

INSTALLATION
To install, simply unpack this archive into any directory (all files
need to reside in the same directory), and type OBJECT from the directory
PM Attrib is installed into. Insure that VROBJ.DLL is either in this
directory or in the LIBPATH.
This program requires that you have REXX support installed on your OS/2
system. If you do *NOT* have REXX installed, go to the System Setup
folder and choose Selective Install. Press Enter to clear the System
Configuration window, this will cause you to be presented with the OS/2
Setup and Installation window. From here, place a check mark next to
the item marked REXX and press Install. Follow the prompts to finish
installing REXX.
WARRANTY

EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. IN NO EVENT WILL THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS,
EITHER LARRY R. TUBBS JR. AND/OR WATCOM INTERNATIONAL BE LIABLE FOR ANY
DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THIS SOFTWARE. ***
LICENSING AND DISTRIBUTION
PM Attrib is being distributed as shareware, and is fully Copyrighted
(c) by Larry R. Tubbs Jr.. You are given license to use this product
for 60 days after which time you are expected to register to continue
using the product. PM Attrib is *NOT* crippled in any way. Also, it
is not set to 'drop dead' after a specified number of days. It is a
complete, working copy of PM Attrib. The only difference between the
shareware version and the registered version is that the shareware
version has the word "Unregistered" after the name PM Attrib in the
Product Information dialog box.
For information on registration, choose Product Information from the
Help menu, and press the Order Form button. The cost is very resonable,
so please support the shareware concept and the author by registering.
This will insure that fine products like this one will continue to
appear on BBSs and FTP sites everywhere.
This product is freely distributible as long as the original archives
are unmodified and that both archives (with and without VROBJ.DLL
<v>2.0a) are made available to any one site.

(version 2.0a), (c) Watcom International, and is distributed with
permission of Watcom. If your copy did not include this file, and you
do not already have a copy of this file (in your LIBPATH), you will need
to download a copy that does contain it.
