Using eStylerLite with OS/2

By Timo Maier‎

According to the eStylerLite licence the following is not legal:

eStylerLite is the Styler (SmartWin) version for eComStation. If you want to use eStylerLite for eComStation for your OS/2 follow these steps. I have tested this with ACP2. It will give you the 3d look buttons, title bar options and the extended shutdown option.


 * 1) Unzip s:\cid\server\ecspkg\estyler.zip where s is eCS 1.1 CD1 to a temporary directory.
 * 2) Copy the three DLL in ecs\dll\ to \OS2\DLL
 * 3) Add eStyler DLL to SYS_DLLS:LoadPerProcess, you can use the following REXX script

/* */ estldll = "ESTLRL10" SAY "Adding eStyler DLL to SYS_DLLS:LoadPerProcess ..." val = SysIni("USER", "SYS_DLLS", "LoadPerProcess") IF val \= "ERROR:" THEN DO  IF 0 = POS( estldll, val ) THEN DO       val = STRIP( STRIP( val, "T", X2C("00"))) || " " || estldll || " " || "00"x val = SysIni("USER", "SYS_DLLS", "LoadPerProcess", val ); END END


 * 1) Create an empty file in the root directory of your boot drive \WiseMachine.FIT
 * 2) Reboot
 * 3) Start estyler.exe

Optionally you also can copy \OS2\DLL\PMMRGRES.DLL from eCS 1.1 to OS/2. This will give you the round titlebar buttons.
