PMPrep version 2.1 for OS/2 by Knut Radloff
===========================================
Introduction
------------
PMPrep is a shareware uuencoder/uudecoder for the OS/2 Presentation
Manager. Multiple part files are supported as well as files which
contain non-uuencoded data such as mail-headers.
PMPrep lets you customize the uuencode/uudecode proccess to suite your
preferences.
PMPrep features an easy to use yet powerful drag'n drop user
interface and utilizes multiple threads for best multitasking
performance.
PMPrep works on OS/2 version 2.1 and above.
What's new in Version 2.1
-------------------------
» You can now suspend, resume and abort individual conversions via a
popup menu. You display this popup menu with a right mouse click on
the desired progress window.
» Enhanced drag'n drop functionality. If you want the directory of the
left and right directory container to be the same, simply drag and
drop the path name from one drive listbox to the other. The directory
is changed automatically when you release the mouse button.
» You can change the path names of the default directories in the
Settings Notebook in the same way.
» You can specify the default directory for the directory containers on
the commandline. Additionally you can choose to always use the
current working directory as the default directory.
» Memory consumption is reduced by 30%
» You can now change the priority of background processes used by
PMPrep on the miscellaneous page of the Settings Notebook.
» The window size and -position is now saved and restored between each
program start.
Installation
------------
Copy the file PMPrep.exe, the help files (.hlp and .inf) and the
resource files (.dll) to a directory of your choice.
If you don't want to view the online help outside PMPrep (using the
view command) you can delete the .inf files.
If you want to start PMPrep from a directory other than the current
directory you need to include the path name where the .dll files
resides in the LIBPATH environment variable.
See your OS/2 command reference for more information about the LIBPATH.
You also need to include the path name where the .hlp files reside in
the HELP environment variable.
Once you have chosen the language you want to use in PMPrep you can
delete the other language specific files (.dll and .hlp/.inf).
Please note that the first time PMPrep is started it creates a
configuration file (pmprep.ini) in the current directory.
If you later start PMPrep the pmprep.ini file is searched in the
following directories:
» The current directory
» The \OS2 directory of your OS/2 boot drive
» The directories specified in the PATH environment variable
» The directory specified by the environment variable PMPREP_INI
If PMPrep can't find the ini-file you are asked if PMPrep shall create
a new one.
