This is the list, as of the date shown above, of all fixes placed by Department 17J on either OS2CSD or OS2TOOLS. Other 2.0 fixes are not supported by the Boca Technical Group. All fixes listed here may be distributed externally. The difference between OS2CSD and OS2TOOLS is that OS2CSD is for fixes, and the individual files will be removed when a service release is done. The service release will then be placed on OS2CSD in its place. OS2TOOLS will hold 'enhancements' and utilities for OS/2 2.0.

All fixes are on External BBS's and CIS except where noted. In some case the EXTERNAL name may be different and is so noted. When the names are the same, external names have the ZIP extension.

NOTE: Access to IBM's OS2CSD and OS2TOOLS repositories is available to IBM personnel only.

Package Name - DBPREP


DBPREP is a utility to allow DOS 4.0, DOS 5.0, and DR DOS to be installed
as a dualboot function on top of OS/2 2.0, and recover to OS/2 in case
something goes wrong during the DOS install.

Since, DOS can only exist on an active primary partition, the DBPREP
utility should only be used if OS/2 is located on the C: partition.

See README.DBP in the ZIP file for full usage details.

Package Name - LS20FX

|Updated on 9/30 with additional install details.

---  FIXES FOR OS/2 2.0, LS 2.0 LAN Requester  ---  August 19, 1992
                         LS 2.0 DOS LAN Requester

APARs:     IC03578, IC03862, IC03994, IC04026, IC04196, IC04290,
           IC04355, IC04356

SYSTEM:    OS/2 2.0 GA, LS 2.0 GA

Modules:   \IBMLAN\NETPROG\NETWKSTA.200
           \IBMLAN\SERVICES\WKSTA.EXE
           \IBMLAN\SERVICES\WKSTAHLP.EXE
           \IBMCOM\MACS\IBMTOK.OS2

CORRECTS:

In general - 1. Problems detecting and reporting network errors.

             2. Problems using named "pipes" over LAN connected systems
                and applications.

             3. Accessing and using a server with IBM PCLP (PC LAN Program).

             4. Problems using COPY and XCOPY to the server.

             5. Sharing violations on SWAPPER.DAT with RIPL workstations
                (Remote IPL with SWAPPER.DAT on server).

             6. RIPL Workstations hanging during Remote IPL.

Specific -   1. Problems detecting and reporting network hardware errors.
                NETWKSTA.200 was changed to allow INT24 to be hooked to
                received hard errors on network drives.
                ** NOTE **
                   To enable this, wrkheuristic 30 must be set to 9.

             2. NETWKSTA.200 and the WKSTA.EXE were fixed for problems
                associated with adapter lobe faults.

             3. The OS/2 2.0 API call DOSSetFileLocks was not included in
                the GA release of LS 2.0. Applications using the older 16
                bit API call DOSFileLocks and DOSFileIO were not affected.
                Applications issuing the 32 bit DOSSetFileLocks receive
                a return code of 174.

             4. Added code to handle FS_FILELOCKS but it will not accept
                atomic requests without the new SMB.  Also will not accept
                FS_CANCELLOCKREQUEST without the new SMB.

             5. Corrected problem with doing DOSOPEN on a named pipe
                connecting LAN systems or applications.

             6. Problems using COPY and XCOPY with PCLP servers.

             7. The "WRITE" command returning an error "6" when writes are
                attempted to a PCLP server.

             8. Corrects NET3126 errors occurring when accessing a PCLP
                server.

             9. Corrects problem with Database applications receiving
                bad return codes and UNLOCK errors when redirected.

            10. Corrects problem with COPY when a network resource has
                read and write permission but not "A" permission; resulting
                in error messages of "INCORRECT FUNCTION" and
                "0 files copied." Correct message is now generated, SYS0065
                "Network Access Denied".

            11. Problems re-establishing RIPL sessions due to incorrect file
                handles being connected to SWAPPER.DAT.

            12. Timeouts and retries during Remote IPL redesigned to prevent
                RIPL hangs.

            13. RIPL initialization changed to prevent RIPL hangs.


CONTRADICTIONS: None known for OS/2 2.0. These fixes are specific to using
                the LS 2.0 LAN Requester and DOS LAN Requester on OS/2 2.0.
                There are some 32 bit API modules and calls included or
                referenced.

                This set of fixes should NOT be installed on any OS/2 1.3
                system. If LS 2.0 is being used on an OS/2 1.30.2 system,
                DO NOT install this set of fixes. The LAN132FIX set of
                fixes should be used on all OS/2 1.3 SE and EE systems,
                including those with LS 2.0.

   WPPRINT  DLL    530297   8-19-92 11:26p

This package contains a complete replacement for the SOM, PMWP, and PMPRINT.
DLLs files provided with the OS/2 2.0 GA product.  The new version of
SOM.DLL contains changes to the dynamic class loading/unloading
mechanism that have been found to provide better synergy with the
Workplace Shell APIs for class registration.  If you have noticed
problems unloading and then reloading the DLL(s) for classes you
have written, this version may provide better results.

The PMWP.DLL contains fixes for WinCreateObject, WinSetObjectData and
WinDestroyObject api calls that allow the programmer to create and
maintain objects in the workplace shell. In particular, it is now
possible to specify a setup string of >255 chars, environment strings in
the setup string are now handled properly and a spurious failure mode
for all of these apis has been fixed. In addition, it is now possible to
copy a subdirectory containing a large number of files without error.

PMPRINT.DLL has been modified to export various print related workplace
shell object classes.

OS2386.LIB contains exports for four different workplace shell object
classes that were not exported in the GA product, such as the WPDesktop
object class. If you intend to subclass workplace object classes,you must
replace this lib in your toolkit library directory to avoid linker errors
when building your code.

Package Name - EPMBBS

All ZIP files and EPMBBS.TXT (the README) are available extenally

Upgrade to EPM to take it to level 5.51 and ADD macro support.

EPMBBS.TXT is basically the same as this text will some more info.

This package consists of nine sets of files.  You have the option of
replacing your current Enhanced Editor (EPM 5.50) with EPM 5.51, or
adding EPM 5.51 to your system so that you can use either version.
If you elect to replace the current EPM, then you can unpack EPMAPPS.ZIP
into your \os2\apps directory, and you can erase the ETKE550.DLL and
ETKR550.DLL from your \os2\apps\dll directory.  If you would rather
keep both versions, then you can unpack EPMAPPS.ZIP into a new directory
and either run EPM 5.51 from there, or ensure that your EPMPATH and PATH
include that directory before \os2\apps when running EPM 5.51.

The contents of the files in this package are as follows.  You do not need
to download or unpack all of them.

EPMAPP.ZIP - Unpack into \os2\apps, or as described above
   EPM.EXE     - The 5.51 version of the editor
   ETPM.EXE    - The 5.51 version of the macro compiler
   PMMORE.EXE  - Useful for debugging Rexx macros; entering RXSHELL from
                 EPM will start PMMORE and redirect STDOUT to this window.
                 SAY and TRACE output will be displayed there.
   *.EX        - the 5.51 version of the compiled macros
   EPMHELP.QHL - the updated "quick help" file
   EPMTECH.NDX - An index file for getting macro programmer help.

EPMBK.ZIP - Unpack into a directory in your BOOKSHELF setting
   EPMUSERS.INF - The EPM User's Guide
   EPMTECH.INF  - The EPM Macro Programmer's Technical Reference

EPMDLL.ZIP - Unpack into \os2\apps\dll or a directory in your LIBPATH
   ETK*551.DLL - The E Toolkit DLLs.

EPMMAC.ZIP - Unpack into an E_MACROS directory and add to your EPMPATH.
            - This contains the macros used to build the standard .ex files.

EPMHLP.ZIP - Updated EPM.HLP; unpack into \os2\help

EPMSMP.ZIP - Unpack into a sampmacs directory and add to your EPMPATH.
   *.e - Sample E macro code; includes both useful programs and building
         blocks that you can use in writing your own code.

 EBOOKE.ZIP - Unpack into an EBOOKIE directory.
   EBookie is an EPM add-on that makes it much easier to create tagged
   source files.  Support is included for Bookmaster, Starter Set GML, and
   IPF files (used to create OS/2 Help and View files).

LAMPDQ.ZIP - Unpack; contains a file to be uploaded to the host.
    LAMPDQ lets you enter commands in EPM that will be executed on your
   (logged on) VM host session and see the results in EPM.  Requires
   Communications Manager.

EPMREX.ZIP - Unpack into a directory in your path.
   *.erx - contains some sample EPM / Rexx macros.

The minimum you need in order to get EPM 5.51 is EPMAPPS and EPMDLL; add
EPMHELP for the new help file.  If you want to recompile the macros,
you'll need E_MACROS, and probably EPMBOOK for the documentation.  If you
want to write your own macros, or if you just want to try some of the
samples, get a copy of SAMPMACS.  EBOOKIE and LAMPDQ are only for those
who require their somewhat specialized functions.
