- First, locate the EXPAND.EXE program on one of the Win3.0 disks. Sorry, but I
- don't know which. Copy this program in your \OS2\MDOS directory. Then open
- a DOS Window and browse through your Win3.0 disks, and "expand" the files
- you want/need. For example, let's say you've found Notepad on disk 4, it
- should look like the following:
-
- DIR A:
-
- ...
- NOTEPAD.HL$
- NOTEPAD.EX$
- ...
-
- The $ in the filenames means the files are compressed. Just type
-
- EXPAND A:\NOTEPAD.HL$ C:\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\NOTEPAD.HLP
-
- etc. for all files you want to grab. You can get a good deal of interesting
- files this way, (bitmaps, help files, readme text files, ...)
-
- Some files may not have the $ extension and yet still be compressed, for
- example the file MOUSE.COM _is_ compressed (you need to use EXPAND) even
- though there is no $ in the filename.
-
- If you have the DOS 5.0 disks, you can do the same to get EDIT.COM, which is
- needed to start the IBM DOS editor in non-basic mode. I don't why IBM does
- not include it with OS/2 but it's one of the first I copy over when I install
- OS/2 on a new system.
