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

Procedure to install Communications Manager from CD ROM

If you choose to install OS/2 Communications Manager from the CD ROM, you will encounter INVALID error messages. The following is the procedure and the workaround to successfully install.

1) You want to install COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER FROM the CD ROM

   Choose COMMRCS or COMMGRSU from the menu
    'Install IBM Beta Version Products from the CD ROM'


   The first screen you see is a configuring screen, ....
   The IBM logo screen appears, click OK.
   A window will appear saying that you are copying temporary product
   files.
   You will see an Installation Notes screen.  Click OK.
   If you are installing Client/Server you will see a selection
   window to determine if you are a Client or Server.
   You will then be asked to select your TARGET DRIVE.  Choose your target
   drive and Click on OK.

2) The Communications Manager Setup window.

   You will then see the Communications Manager Setup window.
   Click on CLOSE in the Communications Manager Setup Window
   You will then be asked if you 'Want to install Communications Manager
   Setup before Closing'.  Click on YES
   At the end of the process, the Communications Manager Completion
   window pops up.  Select CLOSE on this Window
   Note:  If you select either the Installation or Setup pushbuttons
   you will encounter an error opening the configuration file.

3) Perform a Shutdown and Reboot

   At this point perform a SHUTDOWN, and reboot your system.
   When your system comes up, change to the drive and subdirectory
   with CMLIB.
     type 'CMSETUP' (to bring up the Communications Manager Setup window)
   Click on OK at the logo.
   The Communications Manager Setup window appears, and click on SETUP.

4) You will be asked to choose your source drive.

   The drive that the PDK is in and directory that Communications
   Manager is in should be defaulted.


5) Continue with the INSTALL

   You will then see the OPEN Configuration window with the cursor
   pointing to the Configuration File name.  Enter the Configuration
   File name on that line and Continue with the INSTALL.
   Note: if you require further information on installing Communications
   Manager, please check the Communications Manager on-line documentation.

6) After completing your configuration, you will see a window: 'Please

   wait, verifying configuration values' and then the Install window will
   appear.  Select the OK pushbutton and continue.
   You will see a completion window that says you must restart your
   workstation to enable your changes.  Select the CLOSE pushbutton
   on this window.
   Select the CLOSE pushbutton on the CMSETUP window.  Shutdown
   your workstation.
7) To start communications, select the 'Start Communications' icon from
   the 'Communications Manager' group.


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.
