Experiment: Moving the OS/2 Directory Structure
Warning: This is an experiment. OS/2 and eComStation may became unstable.
This experiment is for the people that will like to move some directories that are installed by default on the root drive.
OS/2 and eComStation has the following directories installed on the root:
- DMISL (IBM OS/2 DMTF Service Layer)
- IBMCOM
- IBMGSK (IBMGSK)
- IBMGSK40
- IBMGSK50
- IBMLAN
- LANGUAGE (Language Directory)
- MMOS2
- MPTN
- MUGLIB
- PSFONTS
- TCPIP
So let's see what happens:
IBMGSK
IBMGSK is a set of libraries for RSA encription for some programs. It is hard to know if it is ok to move them since (as far as I know) they are only usefull for some programns like IBM Personal Communicator, IBM HTTP Server and maybe IBM DB2 on OS/2.
So moving it for example to \OS2\SYSTEM does not gives problem in this experiment.
Config.sys Changes:
- LIBPATH=C:\OS2\SYSTEM\IBMGSK50\LIB;C:\OS2\SYSTEM\IBMGSK40\LIB;C:\OS2\SYSTEM\IBMGSK\LIB;
- PATH=C:\OS2\SYSTEM\IBMGSK50\BIN;C:\OS2\SYSTEM\IBMGSK40\BIN;C:\OS2\SYSTEM\IBMGSK\BIN;
- SET IKEYMAN40_HOME=C:\OS2\SYSTEM\IBMGSK40
- SET IKEYMAN50_HOME=C:\OS2\SYSTEM\IBMGSK50
- SET IKEYMAN_HOME=C:\OS2\SYSTEM\IBMGSK
