- REPLINI will RESTART the Workplace shell. Make sure all applications are
- closed before using REPLINI.

-
- NOTES on REPLINI version 0.9:
-
-
- REPLINI (ReplaceIni) will replace the OS2.INI and OS2SYS.INI with a copy
- (made by 'COPYINI'?) of these files from another location.
- The reason for this program is that it is rather cumbersome to replace the
- current active ini-files when the workplace shell has these two files in
- use.
-
-
- REPLINI will replace both ini's by restarting the workplace shell two times:
-
- The first time the workplace shell will be restarted to use the new version
- of the ini's at the specified location.
-
- Then REPLINI will rename the original ini files to save versions. Their
- names will be OS2.nnn and OS2SYS.nnn where 'nnn' will be the first number
- that produces non-existing file names.
-
- Then REPLINI will copy the new ini's from the specified directory to the
- directory where the original ini's were located.
-
- Finally, REPLINI will restart the workplace shell to use the copied
- ini files.
-
- The whole process should take no more than a few seconds.
-
-
- When one of the steps described above fails, REPLINI will try to restore
- all changes!
-
-
- FIRST TIME USAGE:
-
- Make sure you have a saved copy of your ini files. Should REPLINI fail
- press RESET (C-A-D), boot from a boot disk and restore your saved copy of
- the ini files.
-
-
- KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
-
- - Objects from 'startup' folders will not restart when using REPLINI.
-
- - Occasionally, a protection violation was seen in the WPCLSLST.DLL from
- the OS/2 TOOLKIT.
- When 'Close the application' was chosen in the protection violation
- prompt, the workplace shell restarted normally.
-
- - After REPLINI has been used on the March '93 BETA of OS/2 2.1
- (Release level 6.489) Shutdown no longer works. Use Ctrl-Alt-Del
- to reboot.
