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.

APAR = Authorized Program Analysis Report (or bug report)
PTR = Program Trouble Report (or bug report)

Fixes on OS2CSD

NOTE: APAR numbers are the numbers the LATEST fix was reported under. Components like OS2KRNL may have many APAR fixes and reports against it.

A new CHKDSK for fixing the CPS:EXTENTS problem. See DOC file in ZIP on how to install, use with SP level of code.
Package Name - SP16MB
Fix for machines with over 16MB that are not having the memory recognized.
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.

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).

Package DPMI

This package contains the fix(es) for the following reported APAR(s):

  • PJ04082 : MS C7.0 won't run in a VDM, DPMI is not fully compatible.

This fix requires the following files to be copied to your OS/2 2.0 system hardfile.

  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.


Package Name - 2XMSE

A replacement MOUSE.SYS that will speed up the ballistics of the mouse by two times approximately. Keep your old MOUSE.SYS around just in case you do NOT like it. This ONLY works for PS/2 style mice.


Package Name - ENDVDM

This is a small DEBUG input file that will recreate a 7 byte program that will close either a DOS Session (same as entering EXIT) or close a Bootable VDM. This is the ONLY way to close a Bootable VDM.


Package Name - NETSRV

A fix for Novell Netware Lite 1.0. This will stop failures that kill a DOS session.


Package Name - PALETT

This is a fix for LOTUS Freelance Palette problems. Some colors may not display properly without this fix.


Package Name - RESTKN

A fix to allow you to RESET the T/R adapter while OS/2 2.0 is operational.


Package Name - GT16MB

Updated 7/15/92 with more systems covered.

This is a new OS2LDR file that enables machines with greater than 16 MB to use that memory (most clones had this problem). This fix is what we feel is a final fix.
