- Don't touch LIBPATH. This variable has NO EFFECT on Windows DLLs.
- WIN-OS2 fetches its DLL's the same way Windows does - by searching the
- DOS PATH. Place the directory on your DOS PATH (via autoexec.bat).
-
- I didn't have to re-install winWord either. I backed up my win.ini
- file and just replaced it after installing the SPP. I figured that
- anything critical would be in system.ini and not in win.ini.
