Text to come
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.1. Functional Description ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This tool is intended to assist you in editing your OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file. The
various parameters have been logically grouped within the notebook. If you are
unable to locate a particular parameter, use the search facility within this
online document to locate the notebook page on which this parameter is
described.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.2. Author ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This tool has been written by Dietmar M. Klein in my own time. I have done this
as part of my personal skill development, as well as wishing to make a
contribution to the success of OS/2, the premier Client/Server desktop
operating environment and system.
If you have any questions, please use the CfgTool Forum located on the IBMPC
conference disk.
I welcome all problem reports, suggestions for improvements, etc. This can only
contribute to the further development of this facility.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.3. Acknowledgements ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
A big thank you to David Morrill for his superb DrDialog/DrRexx development
environment. Without this excellent tool, my foray into writing event-driven,
presentation manager applications, would have been far more painful, and would
have delivered a lot less.
An equal big thanks to my family for putting up with me hiding behind a screen
at home into the early hours of the morning.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.4. Operating Environment ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Warp'n'Go Version 3 supports systems running OS/2 Warp Version 3.
For full help support, the online OS/2 Command Reference manual needs to be
installed.
In order to support the identification of hard disk partition types, FDISK
needs to be installed.
In order to support the display of resources, RMVIEW needs to be installed.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Installation and Operation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This section explains the installation and running procedure for Warp'n'Go.
Also, frequently asked questions and issues are answered.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.1. Installation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
To install Warp'n'Go on your system, it is suggested that you perform the
following steps:
1. Download the WARPNGO PACKAGE from the OS2TOOLS conference disk.
2. Install all files into one directory.
3. Create a program reference object (by dragging a PROGRAM TEMPLATE out of
the TEMPLATES folder).
4. Fill in the Path and file name: with WARPNGO.EXE and prefix it with the
drive and path information as you determined in step 2.
5. Fill in the Working directory: with the drive and path information as in
step 6.
6. Optionally, you may specify a configuration file (including drive and path
details) for the Parameters: field. If you specify a valid configuration
file, it will be loaded every time you launch Warp'n'Go using this program
reference object.
7. Turn to the General page of the program reference object.
8. Fill in the Title: field with your desired program name (eg. Warp'n'Go).
Note: Additionally, you may want to create an association between your
configuration files and Warp'n'Go. What does this mean? If you display a
drives folder (eg. for your bootdrive), your CONFIG.SYS file will have the
Warp'n'Go icon associated with it, and when you double-click this
configuration file, Warp'n'Go will be launched and will automatically read
in your configuration. To create this capability, move to the Association
page of the Program Reference Object. Now move the insertion bar to the New
name: entry field. Then enter CONFIG.*. The Add >> button should now be
active. Press this button. You show now see that CONFIG.* has been added
into the Current names list. Specifying CONFIG.* means that all files with
a file name of CONFIG and any file extension, will be associated with
Warp'n'Go.
9. Close the program reference object by double-clicking on system menu
(located in the top left hand corner of the window). By the way, if the
Current icon or the system menu icon have not changed from a white
rectangle, you have not filled out the Path and file name information on
the Program page correctly.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2. Running Warp'n'Go ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Launch Warp'n'Go by double-clicking on the icon. The first time you launch
Warp'n'Go on your system, a dialog will appear asking you where you would like
Warp'n'Go to place its INI file (this file holds information, such as window
positions, between successive invocations of Warp'n'Go). The panel will
suggest to place the INI file into the same directory where WARPNGO.EXE is
located. In most cases, this will meet your needs (if not, override the path
information). Press the "OK" button, and Warp'n'Go will initialise by reading
in either the configuration file you have either explicitly specified, or
implicitly specified by double-clicking on a configuration file which has been
associated with Warp'n'Go. If neither is the case, Warp'n'Go will read the
CONFIG.SYS file on your boot drive.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.3. Frequently Asked Questions ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
o Question: Warp'n'Go objects to PRINTMONBUFSIZE=100,0,0, but my system works
OK.
Answer: According to the OS/2 Command Reference Manual, the minimum
specification is PRINTMONBUFSIZE=134,134,134. If you specify a value of less
than 134, OS/2 will set it to 134, but report no error.
o Question: Warp'n'Go has omitted my HPFS cache command which turns lazy
writing on (eg. RUN=C:\OS2\CACHE.EXE /LAZY:ON). Now HPFS will not be doing
lazy writing.
Answer: By default, HPFS always turns on lazy writing. Therefore this
command is superfluous. In fact, it marginally slows down the OS/2 startup
whilst offering no benefits.
o Question: There are some documents in circulation which suggest that if
CONFIG.SYS is ordered in a particular way, OS/2 startup is speeded up
significantly.
o Answer: Complex CONFIG.SYS configurations (which include such things as IBM
LAN Requester, Novell Netware Requester, TCP/IP for OS/2, CM/2, Stacker for
OS/2, Netview Distribution Manager agent code, Server IFS, etc.) are
extremely particular about statement order. Implementing the suggestions for
statement ordering may at best have no effect, and at worst cause your system
not to start up at all. Also, personally I have not observed any difference,
although it has been suggested that very memory constrained systems (eg. 6
MB) may see some improvement. One suggestion is of great importance though:
If you have configured your system with support for HPFS, then the HPFS.IFS
statement should either be:
- If Stacker for OS/2 is not installed, it should be at the very top of your
configuration; or
- if Stacker for OS/2 is installed either of two variations: (1) If the
HPFS.IFS statement occurs prior to any Stacker statements (recognizable as
they refer to the directory in which you have installed Stacker), then it
should be at the very top of your configuration, or (2) if the HPFS.IFS
statement occurs after the Stacker statements, then the HPFS.IFS statement
should be placed immediately after these Stacker statements.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. The Warp'n'Go Notebook ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
All OS/2 configuration parameters are specified within the various pages of
this notebook. If you have a particular parameter in mind which you are unable
to locate on any of the pages, use the index or search capabilities of this
help facility to locate on which page the parameter is located. In addition,
you will find two buttons within the dialog. They perform the following
functions:
Write & Exit Button
Operation of this button will attempt to write the modified
configuration and then terminate Warp'n'Go. If the Write operation
fails, Warp'n'Go will not terminate.
Exit Button
Operation of this button will conditionally terminate Warp'n'Go.
Should you have modified the configuration following your most recent
write operation, you will be asked whether you wish to discard these
changes. If you decline to discard these changes, you will be taken
to the
Help Button
When you press this button, the help facility you are currently
viewing is invoked, or receives focus. In addition, you will be
positioned within this guide based on the context of the last
operation which you performed on the notebook. Config File Main Page
You then have the opportunity to write the amended configuration
prior to exiting from Warp'n'Go.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.1. Config File Pages ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The purpose of these pages is to select the input/output configuration file,
control the backing up of the existing configuration file, initiate the reading
and writing of configurations, and to maintain any comments which you wish to
store with the configuration file.
These pages allow you to
o specify the configuration file to be read or written,
o initiate read or write operations
o specify the backup of your existing configuration file
o view the progress of read and write operations, and receive status messages
o view and update comments to be stored with your configuration
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.1.1. Config File Main Page ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This page is used to specify the input file, the backup file when writing a new
configuration, and to initiate read and write operations.
Configuration File Entry Box
Specifies the name of the configuration to be read or written. To
change this field, use the Change button.
Backup existing configuration Checkbox
Select here whether you wish the configuration file to be backed up
prior to writing the new configuration. If you don't select this
field, Warp'n'Go will ask for confirmation prior to over-writing the
existing configuration file.
Backup File Name Entry Box
Specifies the name to which the existing configuration will be backed
up to. Warp'n'Go remembers this specification, and will restore this
on a subsequent invocation of Warp'n'Go. Use the Change button if
you wish to change the name of the backup file.
Overwrite existing file Checkbox
If you don't check this box and a backup file of specified name
exists already, the write operation for the new configuration will
not proceed.
Read Configuration Button
The configurator will reset to its default settings, and then read in
the specified configuration file. If the current configuration has
been modified after the most recent write operation, you will be
prompted on whether the read operation should proceed.
Write ConfigurationButton
The configurator will backup the current configuration (if asked to)
and then proceeds to generate a new configuration. You will then be
offered the option of viewing the new configuration before it is
written to disk. At this time, you may also reorder the configuration
statements.
Progress Indicator Bar
This provides visual feedback on the progress of configuration read
and write operations.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.1.2. Config File Comment Page ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The purpose of this page is twofold. It displays information about the most
recent modification of your configuration file with Warp'n'Go, including the
version of Warp'n'Go which was used to modify this configuration, and any
comments you wish to save with your configuration.
Date last updated Entry Field

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.3. Paths Pages ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
OS/2 uses a number of path definitions which are used to locate programs, data
files, DLLS, Help files and Books (such as the one you are viewing right now).
These paths are searched when a user refers to a desired object (such as a
program) simply by name (ie. it is not prefixed by a drive and path
specification). For some functions - eg. programs - the current directory is
searched by default.
This function greatly increases the useability of the system (in fact OS/2 will
not work at all if certain directories are not listed in the appropriate path
definitions). However, the order of the directories in paths can have a severe
impact on the performance of the system. List those directories which are most
frequently accessed first in the path definition.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.3.1. Paths Main Page ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
