- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Installation Notes ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Requirements
-
- You must have Rexx support installed to run this program. Rexx is
- normally part of the default installation of OS/2. If Rexx is not
- installed you must go to Selective Install and install support for it
- there.
-
- If you don't have the Enhanced E installed on your system you MUST run
- the install procedure to setup the editors to function properly. This is
- now required before the program will run.
-
- This version includes a changed ini file structure that needs to be set
- up by the install procedure.
-
- If you haven't done so already unzip the archive in any directory and run
- "install". You may install to the directory you started the install operation
- from or key in a new directory to install this program to. The install program
- will create the directory (1 deep) if needed and copy the files to it. In the
- interest of avoiding adding to your already long Path statement three files
- are copied to other directories. The EEE.EXE and EE.EXE files are copied to
- the \os2 directory and the EEE.HLP file is copied into the \os2\help
- directory. These files are less than 250k total in size. If you will not be
- using these editors from the command line, these three files may be deleted
- from those locations. The uninstall procedure will also remove them if and
- when you decide to uninstall the editors.

-
- The Install program also has an uninstall procedure as mentioned previously.
- The uninstall will:
-
- Remove any desktop references to the editor(s) you've chosen to uninstall
- Remove any files it may have placed elsewhere on your drives
- Remove the chosen editor(s) desktop objects
-
- After running the "uninstall" you may delete the Enhanced E directory and any
- files that you may have moved.

-
- The install routine also gives you a choice of default editors. This item is
- disabled unless you bypass it at the command line. At this point it only works
- if the OS/2 System Editor is the only editor on the system. DO NOT use it if
- your text files have other associations attached to them! If there are no
- other editors on your system that have an association to "plain text" files
- the Enhanced E may fill that void just by having an object created. To remedy
- either situation, there is a neat utility by Henk Kelder called "assoed03.zip"
- at the PillarSoft site or on Hobbes in "/os2/editors' that will change any
- associations.
-
- There are some data files that don't seem to "take" to a different default
- editor without changing them individually, I am studying this. The default
- change worked fine on my other machine with only the "E" System Editor
- installed on it but I can make no garantees. It is not fool proof yet so avoid
- it and use "assoed03.zip" unless you have alot of guts and are good at fixing
- messes. BE WARNED! It may negatively affect your system. If you try this
- please let me know if it works one way or the other. The install program
- parameter to make it work is " def".
-
- example - install def
-
- REMEMBER, the safest way to make the Enhanced E or Enhanced EE the default
- editor for the time being is to use Henk Kelders "Association Editor".
-
- It is only 40k in size and available on Hobbes "/editors/assoed03.zip" or on
- the psoft website.

-
- There is no nag screen but to keep old versions from floating around forever
- this version of the EEE.EXE will expire December 15, 1997. The EE.EXE is Free,
- it has no expiration date and it will live forever... I Hope!

- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Troubleshooting ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Trouble?
-
- Did you use the install program? Try running it and see if that solves
- your problems.
-
- If things still aren't working right try running install from the
- editors' home directory then choose "uninstall" then run install again
- and choose "update" or "new install". "Update" will recreate the system
- settings for the editors chosen. "New Install" will update system
- settings and recreate the folder and icons. Be sure the install directory
- information box has the correct directory entered.
-
- If the install program chokes with an error message that says "routine
- not found" the most likely cause is a dll conflict with another program.
- The easiest way to overcome this is to reboot and run the install program
- before running anything else that may using the "rexxutil.dll" functions.
- The install program will unload any functions it loads upon its'
- completion.
-
- Is there a dot as the first entry of your LIBPATH statement in the
- config.sys? example - LIBPATH=.;C:\OS2; This tells OS/2 to check the home
- directory first.
-
- Did you copy over ALL the old files if you had the Enhanced E installed
- previously? With version .14 a new "Vprexx.dll" was introduced. Some
- features will not work without this new dll.
-
- All files for the Enhanced E's must reside in the installed directory with the
- following exceptions:
-
- The DLL files can be moved to the \os2\dll directory or to a directory
- that you have setup in your path for "user.dll's" if you prefer but
- shouldn't need to be moved. If you have more than one copy of a
- particular dll, put the newest one in os2/dll or a user/dll directory to
- save disk space. Before deleting the older dll, make sure all your
- programs work with the newer one.
-
- In order to use the Enhanced E's from the command line, OS/2 needs to
- know where they are. Rather than adding to your already LONG Path
- statement or adding an environment variable etc. The two files EE.EXE &
- EEE.EXE are copied to your \OS2 directory. They are small and the effect
- on your freespace will hardly be noticeable. If you do not forsee
- yourself using them from the command line just delete them from the \OS2
- directory to regain 200k. The uninstall will also remove these files.
-
- This help file is copied into the \OS2\HELP directory so it is available
- if you use the editors from the command line. If you do not forsee
- yourself using them from the command line you may delete the help file
- from the \OS2\HELP directory to regain 50k. The uninstall will also
- remove this file. The help file can also be moved if desired to any
- directory listed in the SET HELP statement in your config.sys.
