- None of these. It's a Word error, and it's referring to Word disk 1.
- The WinWord disk added these three DLL's to the WINOS2 directory. If
- you re-formatted your OS/2 partition, they're gone. They are on
- WinWord 2.0's disk 1, in the \DLL directory. SHELL.DLL is right
- there. The other two are compressed. You can use the DECOMP.EXE
- program (root directory of WinWord disk 1) to decompress these. Place
- them either in your Win-OS2 directory or somewhere on your DOS PATH.
-
- I created a D:\WINDLL directory (which is on my DOS PATH) for placing
- all Windows DLL files in. This avoids the problem - the only files in
- the WIN-OS2 directory are IBM-issue files.
