- Three ways.... maybe more.
-
- 1) read the instructions. There is a way explained within...
-
- 2) The easiest way. Boot from a floppy, your DISPLAY.DLL won't be
- busy then.
-
- 3) use the "DEVICE DRIVERS INSTALL" object. You'll need to make
- a .DDP file to do this. Very simple. Suppose your new driver was
- called et4000.dll and you had it on a floppy in your A: drive...
-
- Then place this file, called et4000.ddp on the disk with it.
-
- --------------------------------
- :TITLE
- new et-4000 driver
- :CONFIG
- :FILES
- A:\et4000.dll C:\OS2\DLL\DISPLAY.DLL
- :OS2INI
- -----------------------------------
-
-
- I hope this helps....
