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.
Notice - If you have a previous version of the Enhanced E installed -
Beginning with version .15 there is a new "Vprexx.dll". If you have moved your
dlls to another directory, make sure they are replaced with the version
included in version .15 or later.

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 beta versions from floating around forever
this version of the EEE.EXE will expire June 30, 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 .17 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.
