:h1 res=10. Installation Notes
:i1.Installation Notes
:p.Requirements
:ul.:li.You must have Rexx support installed to run this program. Rexx is normally part of the default installation
of OS/2. If Rexx is not installed you must go to Selective Install and install support for it there.
:li.If you don't have the Enhanced E installed on your system you MUST run the install procedure to setup
the editors to function properly. This is now required before the program will run.
:li.This version includes a changed ini file structure that needs to be set up by the install procedure.
:eul.
:p.If you haven't done so already unzip the archive in any directory and run "install". You may
install to the directory you started the install operation from or key in a new directory to install
this program to. The install program will create the directory (1 deep) if needed and copy the files
to it. In the interest of avoiding adding to your already long Path statement three files are copied
to other directories. The EEE.EXE and EE.EXE files are copied to the \os2 directory and the EEE.HLP
file is copied into the \os2\help directory. These files are less than 250k total in size. If you will not
be using these editors from the command line, these three files may be deleted from those locations.
The uninstall procedure will also remove them if and when you decide to uninstall the editors.
:p. ═══════════════════════════
:p.The Install program also has an uninstall procedure as mentioned previously. The uninstall will&colon.
:ul compact.
:li.Remove any desktop references to the editor(s) you've chosen to uninstall
:li.Remove any files it may have placed elsewhere on your drives
:li.Remove the chosen editor(s) desktop objects
:eul.
:p.After running the "uninstall" you may delete the Enhanced E directory and any files that you may
have moved.
:p. ═══════════════════════════
:p.The install routine also gives you a choice of default editors. This item is disabled unless you
bypass it at the command line. At this point it only works if the OS/2 System Editor is the only
editor on the system. DO NOT use it if your text files have other associations attached to them!
If there are no other editors on your system that have an association to "plain text" files the
Enhanced E may fill that void just by having an object created. To remedy either situation,
there is a neat utility by Henk Kelder called "assoed03.zip" at the PillarSoft site or on Hobbes
in "/os2/editors' that will change any associations.
:p.There are some data files that don't seem to "take" to a different default editor
without changing them individually, I am studying this. The default change worked fine on my other
machine with only the "E" System Editor installed on it but I can make no garantees. It is not fool proof yet
so avoid it and use "assoed03.zip" unless you have alot of guts and are good at fixing messes.
BE WARNED! It may negatively affect your system. If you try this please let me know if it works
one way or the other. The install program parameter to make it work is "def".
:p.example - install def
:warning text='REMEMBER, the safest way to make the Enhanced E or Enhanced EE the default editor for the
time being is to use Henk Kelders "Association Editor".'. :ewarning.
It is only 40k in size and available on Hobbes "/editors/assoed03.zip" or on the psoft website.
:p. ═══════════════════════════
:p.There is no nag screen but to keep old versions from floating around forever this version
of the EEE.EXE will expire &expire.. The EE.EXE is Free, it has no expiration date and it
will live forever... I Hope!
