Introduction

This is the 02/93 limited edition version of the Professional Developers Kit (PDK) CD ROM. It contains a Beta release of OS/2 2.1 with WIN-OS/2 Version 3.1, C++, PL/I, Communications Manager, including the new client server version, DCE (Distributed Computing Environment), PEN PM, Visual REXX, OS/2 Redbooks and Technical Library, HyperWrite information developer, PMate automated test tool, Productivity Tools, etc. This Kit is targeted for experienced developers. The OS/2 Developers Toolkit and Kernel Debugger have been matched with the level of OS/2 2.1 on this PDK. Some of the products on this PDK may not have been tested with this level of the operating system.

Changes in the 02/93 Version of the PDK

Some of the new products on this PDK include:

OS/2 2.1-install from CD, plus 3.5" and 5.25" diskette images COMM Manager Client, Application, Debugger DCE - distributed computing environment

The products on the PDK are listed by category in the section << What Other Products are on the PDK >>, and a '*' next to the name indicates it is NEW for the 2/93 PDK.

For a history file of changes with each new PDK, please see HISTORY.FIL in the root directory.

Support

The products provided on this CD ROM are beta level and are provided 'AS IS'. There is no warranty or service implied with respect to the program(s) included. You may monitor CompuServe for any information related to this beta product. Your comments/problems may be submitted only via CompuServe and will be appreciated and forwarded to the appropriate personnel for consideration in the next release. Pls INCLUDE THE LEVEL of PDK with your comments (9/92-white label with no date, 10/92-dated silver label, 11/92-dated blue label, 02/93 dated coral label).

CompuServe users should enter 'GO OS2DF2', Section 12 Developer's CD ROM. (Due to restructuring of CompuServe, all references on this PDK to 'GO OS2DEV' should be updated to 'GO OS2DF2') If you are not a member of CompuServe, please call 1-800-524-3388 and ask for representative #239 for a free introductory membership.

Helpful Hints

  1. It is important to read any README files about the products before you use them. Please make sure you check for README files after you have installed products from the CD ROM, or from the diskettes you created.
  2. Many of the products that get installed from this PDK will have their own icons and will be placed in the ISV Tools folder on your desktop. Also, when you go into the PDK Information folder, do an ARRANGE to place the ICONS in a readable order.
  3. The install program works with the following rules. Choose a title and click on the '+' sign to see the subcategories. (Clicking on the '-' sign will shrink this list). Highlight the subcategory by clicking on it. Then choose 'Add' at the bottom of the screen. You can also click on 'Info' to get a description of the product you highlighted.
  4. During the install, if you notice an error with UNPACK.EXE, you may not have enough disk space to install the application. Also, each installation package works differently. If any error occurs on install, please check free space FIRST to make sure you have sufficient hardfile space. Do not install any of the productivity tools into the root directory of any drive.
  5. Please leave the PDK in the CD ROM drive while you are using products on the PDK, even though you may not be accessing the PDK.
  6. If you install OS/2, C++, and TOOLKT20 from the PDK, you will find a number of different LINK386.exe file.

The Beta version of LINK386 from the Install menu should be used when the using C++ compiler, since this version has additional support for the C++ class extension. Check your CONFIG.SYS to make sure that you are pointing to the correct Linker.

NOTE: You must ensure that the IBMC\BIN directory occurs before the TOOLKT20\OS2BIN directory in the PATH statement. Also, the recommended order of installation should still be followed to ensure that the EPM /H context sensitive help, and WorkFrame/2, C Set/2 support function correctly. The recommended order of installation is Toolkit, WorkFrame/2, then C Set/2.

Installing OS/2

From CD ROM (both DOS and OS/2 System Users):

In order to install OS/2 from the CD ROM drive both your SCSI adapter and your CD ROM drive must be supported under OS/2. If these are not supported under OS/2 you can create the OS/2 diskettes through DOS support - see text file called DOSINFO.TXT.

You will need 2 blank 1.44MB- 3.5" (or 1.2 MB- 5.25") diskettes to create 'OS/2 Installation Diskette' and 'Operating System/2 Diskette 1' (DISK 1). (Since this is beta code, is recommended that you place OS/2 2.1 in a separate partition on your hardfile rather than installing over OS/2 2.0 GA level).

1) To create the install disks:

  • From DOS type 'INSTALL' from the CD ROM drive
  • From OS/2 type 'INSTALL' from the CD ROM drive

Note: the disks you create will be put into your A drive

From OS/2 you will see a menu.

select: 'Beta IBM OS/2 2.1'
Click on the '+' sign to find the subcategories of
'OS2CD35' to make 2-OS/2 2.1 3.5" 1.44 Meg disks
or 'OS2CD525' to make 2-OS/2 2.1 5.25" 1.2 Meg disks
Click on one of the these to highlight
Click on 'Add' to choose this

From DOS you will see the syntax for install command.

You will type either 'install 3.5' or 'install 5.25' depending on the size of your A drive.

2) On the 'Welcome to OS/2 Screen' you will see a message that you need OS/2 diskettes 1 through 14 to complete installation. You may ignore this message and press enter to continue installing from the CD ROM. The screens that appear are the same as the OS/2 2.0 install screens but you are installing from CD ROM rather than diskettes.

If you are installing from 5.25" diskettes ONLY, on the Installation Drive Selection screen:

you MUST choose 1) Accept the drive.
DO NOT choose 2) Specify a different drive or partition (it won't work and you will get an error message)

3) On the OS/2 'Setup and Installation' Screen, you may choose any of the following system installs (#MB denotes hard disk space needed):

'Select features and Install'- 20MB - for minimum system (make sure you INCLUDE REXX- everything else can be de-selected)
'Install Preselected Features' - 32MB - install the most commonly used OS/2 features
'Install All Features' - 40MB

4) IGNORE the final OS/2 Setup and Installation screen, which says 'Remove the diskette from Drive A and Press Enter to restart your system'.

INSTEAD, press CTL-ALT-DEL to restart your system'. (Make sure that the diskette has been removed from Drive A).

5) It is important that when OS/2 starts up for the first time YOU DO A 'SHUTDOWN'. To do this, as soon as the disk light turns off and the desktop appears set up, please do a 'SHUTDOWN'. Follow the message to restart your system. Note: When OS/2 starts up for the first time, it must build the desktop. You want to ensure that this desktop gets saved, so we recommend that you immediately do a SHUTDOWN.

Making OS/2 2.1 Diskettes (OS/2 System Users):

1) From OS/2 type 'INSTALL' from the CD ROM drive

Note: the disks you create will be used in your A drive, so make sure you choose the correct density

From OS/2 you will see a menu.
select: 'Beta IBM OS/2 2.1'
Click on the '+' sign to find the subcategories of
'OS235' to make 27 OS/2 2.1 3.5" 1.44 Meg disks
or 'OS2525' to make 32 OS/2 2.1 5.25" 1.2 Meg disks
Click on one of the these to highlight
Click on 'Add' to choose this

2) Follow the procedure on OS/2 2.1 CD ROM Install starting with Step 2

Making OS/2 2.1 Diskettes (DOS System Users):

1) Please read DOSINFO.TXT to create the diskettes
2) Follow the procedure on OS/2 2.1 CD ROM Install starting with Step 2

What Else Is on the PDK?

Note: If you see the word 'Install' in the description, it means you will be installing from the CD ROM directly onto your hardfile. If you see the word 'Make...diskettes' you will be creating diskettes, and can install from the diskettes.

From the CD ROM drive, type 'INSTALL' and select the products you want to install on your hardfile. (Please read helpful hint 1.) The CHOICES ARE:

Beta IBM OS/2 2.1

.. this will install OS/2 beta from CD ROM (you must create 2-1.44MB or 2-1.2MB install diskettes) or will create OS/2 2.1 diskettes

Important information on DCE

Before you create the DCE diskettes and use DCE, you must read the README.DCE on the PDK. You can find it in the subdirectory COMM\DCE on your CD ROM drive.

PM Debug Considerations

The Debug version of the PM subsystem contains an IRQ 3 at the start of initialization. A terminal emulator should be attached so the operator can step over this break-point.

Important information on C++

The IBM C/C++ compiler shipped on this CD ROM contains modified versions of the OS/2 Toolkit 2.0 header files. If you will be using the 2.0 toolkit, then you can ignore the rest of these instructions. If you will be using the 2.1 toolkit also provided on this CD ROM, you will need to make similar changes to those versions of the header files for use with the compiler. Here is what you need to do after having installed both the compiler and the 2.1 Toolkit:

1. Rename the OS2.H, BSEDOS.H, and OS2DEF.H header files found in the x:\ibmcpp\INCLUDE directory in order to preserve them.

2. Copy the OS2.H, BSEDOS.H and OS2DEF.H header files from the 2.1 Toolkit (should be in the \toolkt20\c\os2h directory) to the x:\ibmcpp\INCLUDE directory.

3. Modify the 3 files by doing the following:

a) In BSEDOS.H, change the word 'class' to 'pclass' on line 199.
b) In OS2DEF.H, delete the five occurances of the word 'unsigned' from lines 91 to 97 and change '((void *) 0)' to '0' on line 61
c) In OS2.H, add the following four lines between lines 38 and 39
#ifdef __cplusplus
       }
#endif
and add the following four lines between lines 23 and 24
#ifdef __cplusplus
     extern "C" {
#endif
Note that one of the lines is blank in each case (just for readability). Also note that they are added in the order above in order not to mess up the line numbers of subsequent inserts.
