But often this new folder becomes filled with objects, some of which are only used once a month while others are used hourly. Locating a desired object in such a folder can be like trying to find "a needle in a haystack". To solve the retrieval problem, Group Folder allows you to create visible subsections within a given folder. Thus, you have more control over the organization of the contents of folders. The grouping of related objects helps you locate the object you want more quickly. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CLIPSRV.ZIP Date Issued - October 28, 1993 IBM Cary, N.C.

EPMPLx eases the task of coding in the following ways: * Structure expansion - PL/AS structures such as IF, ELSE, DO, BEGIN, PROCEDURE, GENERATE, SELECT, and WHEN are automatically expanded. You just enter the structure keyword and the entire structure is placed into the file. * Automatic remark placement - Remarks are automatically started in the column you select. * Automatic and controlled remark formatting - When entering remarks the text of the remark is automatically formatted to stay within set columns. Remarks can also be reformatted at your request. The starting and ending columns can be changed at any time. * Automatic flagging - You can have 4 or 8 character change flags automatically placed into your remarks. * Case control - - Text entered as code can be forced to uppercase, swapped, or asis. - Keywords can be upper, lower, or mixed case. * Controlled code insertion and deletion - When code is inserted or deleted on a line containing a remark, the remark is not moved. * Remark reformatting - The text of a remark can be reformatted at the touch of a key. * Auto indent - When a new line is inserted, the cursor is placed in the line and column in which you probably want to enter new code. * Block comment insertion and editing - When adding new or editing old block comments, you can enter the text of the comment without worrying about the block comment delimiters. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- RXSOCK.ZIP Date Issued - April 8, 1993 Latest Release Date - August 16, 1993 Author: Patrick Mueller IBM Cary, N.C.

The BOOT system can be installed on any valid medium including, but not limited to, Floppies and Hard Disk Drives. There are three types of BOOT systems you can install: Minimum. PM, and WPS. Ver 2.00 The BOOTOS2 program is a utility that allows you to build a BOOTable OS/2 V2 system using an existing OS/2 V2 system. The BOOT system can be installed on either Floppy Disks or a Hard Disk Partition. Ver 3.00 05/93 : (V3.00) - Updated BOS2U21 and BOS2S21 files to 2.1 GA levels - Fixed 2DISK option. It will no longer return RC=4 after trying to format B. - Added support for SVGA; Copy over \OS2\SVGADATA.PMI - Added code to copy over BASEDEV= invocation arguments - Added code to copy over HELPMGR.DLL if room allows - Added 2.1 support for 8514 by updating BOS2U21.INI with the proper values for PM_DISPLAYS. This updating of BOS2U21 will be done for all display types if necessary. - Added support for HPFS386 - For a Disk Install, install sequence changed so the files SYSINST1 and HARDERR are only copied if there is room. This frees up room for BIO files required by certain MicroChannel machines that could not fit otherwise. *NOTE* If SYSINST1/HARDERR are not installed, then CAD will not work - Enhanced install of BASEDEV drivers. For a single 1.44M BOOT Disk, only those BASEDEV drivers that are needed for accessing DASD (.ADD) are copied. Otherwise, if room allows, all BASEDEV drivers will be copied. - Removed copying of DTM.DLL for a TYPE=PM or TYPE=WPS install. It wasn't needed for anything as far as I could tell and at least one user complained it wasn't installed on his base OS/2 system - Support for the IBM IA/A is not working in this release. I am trying to get help with this from the IA/A development team, but it might take a while. If you have IA/A support installed on your active system when you run BOOTOS2, you can try the following: * On the \OS2\DLL directory of your active OS/2 2.x system, look for a file named DISPLAY.OLD; this is the DISPLAY.DLL that was active before you ran the IA/A INSTALL program. Copy this 'over' the DISPLAY.DLL that BOOTOS2 installed on the \OS2\DLL directory of your 'target' system. * In the CONFIG.SYS of your target system, look for the following statements: DEVICE=\OS2\XGARING0.SYS DEVICE=\OS2\IAOS2RFS.SYS SET VIDEO_DEVICES=VIO_yyy,VIO_IBMIAA SET VIO_IBMIAA=DEVICE(BVHVGA,BVHIAA) SET VIO_yyy=DEVICE(BVHVGA,BVHyyy) * Change these to: rem DEVICE=\OS2\XGARING0.SYS rem DEVICE=\OS2\IAOS2RFS.SYS SET VIDEO_DEVICES=VIO_yyy rem SET VIO_IBMIAA=DEVICE(BVHVGA,BVHIAA) SET VIO_yyy=DEVICE(BVHyyy) * Do this *BEFORE* you IPL your Target BOOTOS2 System --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LP3820.ZIP Date Issued - April 12, 1993 Latest Release - June 17, 1993 Author: Ken Borgedale IBM Boca Raton, FL Version 2.3a - Most documents created within IBM are in the AFP format (LIST3820, LIST38PP, PSEG3820). lp3820 allows you to print AFP documents on personal laser printers (IBM LaserPrinter, HP LaserJet, and any PostScript printer). lp3820 consists of a single program which will run in any version of OS/2, or in DOS 3.3 and above. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PMPRTF.ZIP Date Issued - September 3, 1992 Latest Release - June 17,1993 Author: Mike Cowlishaw IBM United Kingdom Laboratories. * Would you like to use the C standard function 'printf' in your PM programs for debugging, occasional error messages, etc.? * Do you have existing subroutines, that use printf, that you'd like to use in PM programs? If you answer yes to either of these, you may find the PMprintf tool useful. PMprintf comprises two parts: printf.obj -- an object file, compiled with IBM C Set/2, which you link in with your PM program just like any other subroutine. This provides the printf service to that program. You write printf calls in your C program in the usual way; the printf subroutine buffers the data (on a per-thread basis in multi-thread programs) and adds each completed line to a message queue. For example, the following printf call will write a line to the PMprintf application and sound the Alert (bell): printf("This seems to work\a\n"); Sample source (in C) is also provided for the printf function. pmprintf.exe -- is a PM application which sets up the queue used by printf and then "catches" and displays incoming printf lines. It is a kind of 'monitor' or 'virtual console' which will accept lines from any number of processes that use printf. PMprintf offers a number of options, including the ability to log the incoming lines to a file. See below for a short description of the options. If PMprintf has been started then it will display the incoming lines from printf calls in other processes. If it has not been started, then printf calls are quietly ignored (they return 0, not an error). PMprintf can be started or stopped at any time, and printf calls will then become active or be ignored as appropriate. Sample source for printf (printf.c) is included in the package; this offers certain customization options (for example, you can cause a prefix to be added to the start of each line so that different applications can have unique output lines, or cause lines to be broken at a certain length). There are also some usage hints and minor restrictions, documented in the header of printf.c. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- PMGB32.ZIP Date Issued - September 3, 1992 Latest Release Date - June 17,1993 Author: Mike Cowlishaw IBM United Kingdom Laboratories. PMGlobe is a program which displays the Earth as a globe using OS/2 Presentation Manager. You can choose to view the globe from any direction, or select one of a number of 'standard' views. In addition to simply displaying a picture of the world, PMGlobe will also let you light the globe as though by sunlight -- so you can see at a glance those areas of the globe where the sun has risen, and where it is night. Additional options add shading to the globe for a three-dimensional effect, and let you measure distances between two points on the globe. Other features are described in the file PMGLOBE.DOC. With the command interface included with PMGlobe, you can add markers and labels to the globe and have greater control over its actions. If you wish, you can use REXX (the scripting language included with OS/2) as a macro language for PMGlobe -- see PMGLOBEX.DOC for a description of the PMGlobe commands available; all of them can be used in a REXX macro. Ver 2.02 fixes a problem with DOS programs (even COMM ones) and adds on-globe clock capability. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20MEMU.ZIP Date Issued - January 08, 1993 Latest Release - June 16, 1993 Author: Ross Cook IBM Boca Raton FL.

But often this new folder becomes filled with objects, some of which are only used once a month while others are used hourly. Locating a desired object in such a folder can be like trying to find "a needle in a haystack". To solve the retrieval problem, Group Folder allows you to create visible subsections within a given folder. Thus, you have more control over the organization of the contents of folders. The grouping of related objects helps you locate the object you want more quickly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GOSERV.ZIP Date Issued - May 13, 1993 Author: Mike Cowlishaw IBM UK Laboratories 'Gopher' is a client-server protocol designed for text location and retrieval.

REMOTE PASSWORD ADMINISTRATION UTILITY For Client-to-Server-to-Host Password Updates This is for EXTENDED SERVICES 1.0 (ES 1.0) PURPOSE: This utility is intended for use with the OS/2 Database Manager, while running a Server and Client(s) arrangement without the use of the OS/2 LAN Server program. The problem to be solved is: how does a user on a client machine update the password access on the server, for a particular user-id. In addition, if a host session(s) is provided and active on the server, how does a user on a client machine update the password access on the host session(s). The problem is physical access to the server is very difficult or virtually impossible, due to distance or security access. This utility allows a user on a client machine to update the password access on the server, for a particular user-id. In addition, if a host session(s) is provided and active on the server, this utility allows a user on a client machine to update the password access on the host session(s), all without having physical access to the server. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- DINFO.ZIP Date Issued - August 21, 1992 Author: N.
