ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Extended Help For INI File Management ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The INI File Manager allows you to perform administrative functions upon your
OS2 System INI files. These files are identified in your config.sys file in
the PROTSHELL statement. You may not realize it, but the two system INI files
are necessary to operate OS2 properly.
The following Topics may be selected from this menu:

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.1. Purpose and Function ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The original purpose of this utility was to provide a way to backup the running
OS2 INI files. If the running INI files became damaged, then the PROTSHELL
statement in the config.sys file could be modified to point at the backups.
Additionally, I have the task of trying to get people up to speed with OS2 in
our shop and I find myself spending a lot of time updating other people's
installed program lists. I wanted a utility that could extract group and
program definitions and reload them to other user's INI files.
I also got really tired of explaining that when you start a program in a window
that there is no way of telling it to maximize on startup. So rather than
continue to explain that you couldn't do this very sensible thing, I wrote the
program details update routines to allow the user to modify some of the things
that the Program Properties update routines don't allow you to get to.
Finally, I got tired of showing people how to reproduce the questionable but
mysteriously popular color settings that I use. So, I wrote the color save and
restore routines.
I hope you find this utility helpful, but (here comes the disclaimer) I am in
no way responsible for any damages the use of this utility may cause.
If you have any suggestions or comments, I'd like to hear them. The best way
to find me is through Compuserve 75600,237.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Commercial Announcement ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
I hope you find this utility helpful, but (here comes the disclaimer) I am in
no way responsible for any damages the use of this utility may cause. You are
free to use this utility at your own risk with no obligation to me, the author,
for only a short period of time. If you find this utility as helpful as I
have, you should send me money to demonstrate your appreciation. Your
appreciation should rule your generosity. For example, let's say that you use
this utility to propigate standard installed programs for 20 users at your
company's location. At $.50 a shot, you (or your company) might be moved to
send me a check for $10. I'll take it, no problem.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Anomalies (Bugs) ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
I wish that this utility were perfect, but it's not. Most of the problems are
centered around the fact that the OS2 treatment of the installed program list
does not really follow the intentions of the control blocks used. Most of the
problems you will find occur while using the program details edit function. In
particular, they are:
The initial window position and size parameters are not usable. The control
block for this purpose in PROGDETAILS is of type SWP. The implication is that
you can do the same things with the SWP control block that you can do with a
WinSetWindowPos call. You can't. The SWP.fs field seems only to accept the
values that you can define with XYF_ constants. I have disabled the Size and
Move radio buttons on the program details edit panel until I can find a way to
make them work properly.
The environmental string edit function on program details is similarly
disabled. This circumvention causes me more pain than you will ever know. The
Combo Box processing that I coded took about as much time as all the rest
combined. The sad truth about the environment string processing is that
neither PrfAddProgram nor PrfChangeProgram can handle environment string
processing as documented. In the PROGDETAILS control block you are supposed to
pass a PSZ that points to an array of environmental strings terminated with an
extra '\0'. I did that, but the Prf calls never handled them properly. The
first string would come through followed by garbage.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Action Bar ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Surprise...The Action Bar allows you to select the utility functions.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1. Action Item File ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Surprise...The file menu item allows you to select functions that operate at
the file level.
The following items may be selected from the File menu:
o Open INI File
o Backup System INIs
o Exit
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1.1. Open INI File ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select this menu item to open an existing user extracted or backup INI file. If
you attempt to select the current running INI files, open will fail. (If you
could open the running system INIs, you could just use COPY to back them up.)
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1.2. Backup System INI Files ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select this menu item to backup the running System INI files to files named
OS2SV.INI and OS2SYSSV.INI.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1.3. Exit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select this menu item to exit the utility.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.2. Action Item Appls/Data ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The original intent was to allow free form edit and display of all application,
key, and data components. However, I don't think I have the wherewithall to
really make that happen. So all you may do is display application and key
combinations.
The following items may be selected from the Appls/Data menu:
o OS2 INI
o OS2SYS INI
o USER INI
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.2.1. OS2 INI ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This selection allows you to look at all of the application and key names in
the running OS2.INI (or equivalent as named on the PROTSHELL statement.)
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.2.2. OS2SYS INI ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This selection allows you to look at all of the application and key names in
the running OS2SYS.INI (or equivalent as named on the PROTSHELL statement.)
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.2.3. USER INI ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This selection allows you to look at all of the application and key names in
any INI file that was created using OS2 profile management calls. The file
name must end in .INI .
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3. Action Item Grps/Pgms ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Groups and Programs unload/reload functions may be accessed from this menu
selection. These functions allow you to extract installed programs from a
running INI and reload them to other users' systems. In that way, you can
replicate a given installed program environment for any number of users without
having to go through a long manual process. You can also run the reload
function from a full INI backup file. Just use the OS2SV.INI dataset.
The program details selections allow you to edit installed program attributes.
(Even some that are not available from the Program Properties selection
provided with OS2.) In particular, you may specify start minimized and start
maximized for widowed (VIO) programs. You may also elect to have installed
programs be invisible to the end user, but actually still reside on the start
program list for a group.
The following items may be selected from the Grps/Pgms menu:
o Extract from system
o Reload to system
o System program details
o User program details
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.1. Extract from system ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use this selection to extract installed programs and groups from your running
system and right them to another INI file. The target INI file may be used to
reload the extracted groups and program entries to your own or someone else's
running system.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.2. Reload to system ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use this selection to reload to the running INI groups and programs that were
previously extracted to user INI files.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.3. System program details ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use this selection to edit the running system's installed program list. You
can specify many things that aren't allowed using the OS2 program properties
dialog.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.4. User program details ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use this selection to edit the program lists of previously created INI extracts
and backups.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4. Action Item Colors ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Colors menu selection allows you to select either to backup system colors
to OS2CLR.INI or to restore from a OS2CLR.INI or OS2SV.INI backup file.
Sorry, but the Colors routines aren't done yet. That's why the action bar
selection is disabled.
The following items may be selected from the Colors menu:
o Backup colors
o Restore colors
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.1. Backup Colors ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use this selection to create an OS2CLR.INI backup file containing information
from your running system.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.2. Restore Colors ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use this selection to restore the running system colors from a previously
created OS2CLR.INI file.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5. Action Item Help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Help menu item allows you access to the Help subsystem. This utility
provides a full implementation of the OS2 IPF facility. That means that you
can get field level help at any time by positioning on the field or menu item
an pressing PF1. Extended help may be requested by pressing PF2 at any time.
(See Keys help.)
The following items may be selected from the Help menu:
o Help for help
o Extended help
o Keys help
o Help index
o About
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.1. Help for Help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This selection gives you information regarding the use of the help subsystem.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.2. Extended Help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This selection invokes the help subsystem and will provide general help for the
INI File Management Utility.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.3. Keys Help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This selection will present you with information regarding the use of the
keyboard in the INI File Management Utility.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.4. Help Index ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The help information for the INI File Management Utility has been indexed to
some extent by topic. This selection will invoke the help subsystem and
present that index.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.5. About ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This selection will present a Logo panel that displays the utility version
number and generation date.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Dialog Panels ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Dialog panels allow you to manipulate the execution of the utility.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.1. Group List Display ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The group list display panel is used to allow you to choose which group you
wish to process. The actual process is either backup to an INI or restore from
an INI.
The following controls are active in the group list display panel:
o Enter
o Cancel
o Group List
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.1.1. Enter on Group List ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

from the Group List Display Panel. If no group list item is selected, the enter
key does nothing.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.1.2. Cancel on Group List ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Cancel control will terminate group list processing and return to the
calling function without processing the selected group list item from the Group
List Display Panel.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.1.3. Group List ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The group list control enables you to select an installed group to process.
You select by clicking on the item you want to select. Double clicking the
item performs the function of selecting the item and hitting the Enter control
on the Group List Display Panel.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.2. Program List Display ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The program list display panel is used to allow you to choose one or more
programs you wish to process. The actual process is either backup to an INI or
restore from an INI.
The following controls are active in the program list display panel:
o Enter
o Cancel
o Program List
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.2.1. Enter on Program List ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Enter control may be used to process the selected item(s) in the program
list box from the Program List Display Panel. If no program list item is
selected, the enter key does nothing.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.2.2. Cancel on Program List ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Cancel control will terminate program list processing and return to the
calling function without processing the selected program list item(s) from the
Program List Display Panel.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.2.3. Program List ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The program list control enables you to select installed program(s) to process
from the Program List Display Panel. You select by clicking on the item(s) you
want to select. Double clicking the item does not perform the function of
selecting the item and hitting the Enter control. You must click the Enter
control (or press the Enter key.) Clicking on an already selected list item
will deselect that item.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.3. Open a User INI File ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Open INI dialog panel allows you to specify the target or source user INI
file with which to process an extract or reload. You should have a mouse in
order to work with this dialog properly.
The following controls are active in the Open INI dialog:
o Enter
o Cancel
o INI Name
o Drive List
o Directory List
o File List
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.3.1. Enter on Open INI File ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Enter control will cause open to process the INI file displayed in the INI
Name entry box on the Open INI dialog panel. If the INI Name entry box is
empty, the enter key does nothing.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.3.2. Cancel on Open INI File ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Cancel control will abort the open process for the INI file displayed in
the INI Name entry box on the Open INI dialog panel. If the INI Name entry box
is empty, the enter key does nothing.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.3.3. File Name on Open INI File ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The File Name entry box control specifies the specific file name to open on the
Open INI dialog panel. You may input the name manually or use the mouse to
select an existing INI file from the File List box.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.3.4. Drive List on Open INI File ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The drive list control allows you to change the drive to search for or create a
user INI file on the Open INI dialog panel. A list of the available drives is
displayed. Double clicking an entry in the list changes to the drive that the
entry specifies and reloads the directory and file lists for the current
directory on that drive.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.3.5. Directory List on Open INI File ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The directory list control displays the directories that are available from the
current directory on the selected drive in the Open INI dialog panel. Double
clicking an entry in the directory list makes that directory become the current
directory and reloads the file list control box.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.3.6. File List on Open INI File ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The file list control displays existing INI files in the current working
directory of the active drive. Clicking on an item in the file list causes
that item to be placed in the INI file name entry box on the Open INI dialog
panel. Double clicking on an item in the file list control causes that item to
be placed in the INI file name entry box and emulates the Entry control
function.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.4. Backup System INIs ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The backup system INIs dialog allows you to specify the target drive and
directory to contain the files OS2SV.INI AND OS2SYSSV.INI. These files will be
exact copies of the running system INI files. They will, however, be a little
smaller because they will not have incurred update fragmentation.
The following controls are active in the backup system INIs dialog:
o Enter
o Cancel
o Drive List
o Directory List
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.4.1. Enter on Backup System INIs ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Enter control will cause backup to create files OS2SV.INI and OS2SYSSV.INI
on the drive and the directory selected in the Backup System INIs panel.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.4.2. Cancel on Backup System INIs ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Cancel control will exit the backup process without creating INI backups on
the drive and the directory selected in the Backup System INIs panel.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.4.3. Drive List on Backup System INIs ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The drive list control allows you to change the drive on which the files
OS2SV.INI and OS2SYSSV.INI will be created in the Backup System INIs panel. You
may change to one of the available drives by double clicking its list item.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.4.4. Directory List on Backup System INIs ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The directory list control allows you to change the current directory on which
the files OS2SV.INI and OS2SYSSV.INI will be created in the Backup System INIs
panel. You may change to one of the available directories by double clicking
its list item.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.5. Backup INIs Running ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
It takes a while to backup the running system INIs using the OS2 profile
management calls. I guess this is due to the indexed nature of the data.
Whatever, I had to create a separate thread to do the backup so that you
wouldn't have to just sit there like a dummy until it got done. The backup
INIs running dialog won't talk to you. It listens only for the completion of
the thread created for the backup. I'm afraid that I didn't want to spend a lot
of time in cosmetic coding, so this dialog (and all the rest in this utility)
will not let you minimize the application window. However, there is nothing to
keep you from activating another session and doing productive work while the
backup is running.
As long as the backup running dialog panel is showing, the backup is actually
running. This will be evidenced by a lot of disk activity since the profile
calls must write very small blocks.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.6. About ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Since I'm not really sure how much more effort I intend to put into this
utility, the About dialog is probably not much more than an ego statement on my
part. The version number is usually helpful for problem resolution, but things
being what they are, don't expect it to change.
The following control is active in the About dialog:
o Enter
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.6.1. Enter on About ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Enter control will exit the About dialog panel.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.7. Appl/Data ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Appl/Data dialog is pretty much a limited use item. I had intended to
allow you to edit Key/Data information by application name. However, once I
got into the mechanics of the data editting function, I realized that it
required a lot more work than I ever intend to give to this project. As it
stands now, you can display keynames for any given application name.
The following controls are active in the appl/data dialog:
o Enter
o Cancel
o Application List
o Key List
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.7.1. Enter on Appl/Data ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Enter control in the Appl/Data panel is really the same as Cancel since the
data edit part of this function is not enabled. If you hit Enter, you exit the
dialog.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.7.2. Cancel on Appl/Data ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Cancel control exits from the Appl/Data panel.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.7.3. Application List on Appl/Data ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The application list control allows you to select the application name for
which you wish to see key names on the Appl/Data panel. By double clicking an
item in the application name list, you cause the key name list to be loaded
with keynames that belong to the application.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.7.4. Key List on Appl/Data ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The key list control displays the keys for the application name that was
selected on the Appl/Data panel.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.8. Installed Program Details ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
It's funny that the Installed Program Details edit dialog was almost a second
thought because it may turn out to be the most useful part of this utility.
With this dialog you can change a great many things for an installed program
that you can not change through OS2 program properties dialogs. In particular,
you can specify that a program entry is invisible on the group list, a program
should be started minimized or maximized, and you can set icons for OS2
windowed and full screen entries.
Starting programs minimized and maximized works for windowed (VIO) programs and
presentation manager programs that do not modifiy system window position and
size attributes during program initialization.
Icon settings work only for for windowed (VIO) and OS2 fullscreen programs.
The icon will only show while the session is minimized. To tell you the truth,
I was more than a little surprised that the icon specification is ignored on
the group list for the installed program.
PoopDoodles! There is are a couple of problems with the program details edit
function. See Bugs.
The following controls are active in the backup system INIs dialog:

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.8.12. Visible on Program Details ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Visible check box control in the Program Details panel allows you to
specify that the program should not appear on the group list. This will make
the entry un-invokable by the user, but will be available to certain OS2 start
session and program calls. It will, of course, be available to this utility
for later details editting.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.8.13. Minimize on Program Details ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Minimize radio control in the Program Details panel allows you to specify
that the program will be invoked as an OS2 icon.

size attributes during program initialization.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.8.14. Maximize on Program Details ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Maximize radio control in the Program Details panel allows you to specify
that the program will be invoked with size maximized.
Starting programs minimized and maximized works for windowed (VIO) programs and
presentation manager programs that do not modifiy system window position and
size attributes during program initialization.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.8.15. Size on Program Details ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Size radio control in the Program Details panel should allow you to specify
that the size of the window in which the program will be invoked. It just
doesn't seem to work, so I have disabled the control. I would like to hear any
suggestions for this specification. The control block is type SWP and has the
fields to specify size and location info, but it appears that the program
starter function uses the data like XYF_ fields in the start session call.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.8.16. Move on Program Details ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Move radio control in the Program Details panel has been disabled because
it doesn't work. The the discription for the Size control.

environmental string handling. See Bugs.
You can input a new environmental string into the edit portion of the combo
box. Press ALT-Insert to add the string to the stored environmental strings.
You can delete an existing environmental string by loading that string into the
edit portion of the combo box (use arrow keys or click on a list item) and
pressing ALT-Delete.
You can edit an existing environmental string by loading it into the edit
portion of the combo box, using normal key edits, adding it to the list portion
of the combo box, and going back to delete the original item.
You are not allowed to add duplicate strings to the environment string list.
