Copyright (C) IBM Corporation, 1993 05/19/93 Group Folder - Dan Kehn (74140,3263) INSTALLATION First copy your GFOLDER.DLL file to a disk. For example, C:\OS2\DLL. Copy the Group Folder help file, GFOLDER.HLP, to your help directory, for example, C:\OS2\HELP. Then start the installation program, GFINST.EXE. It will prompt you for the path where your copied the GFOLDER.DLL. When the installation is complete, a new folder object called "Stuff" will appear on your desktop. Double-click the "Stuff" folder and select "Create standard groups" from the menu bar's Folder pulldown to create an example set of groups based on the objects included with OS/2. NOTES: A few users have reported system hangs when GFolder is opened while the system is heavily stressed (eg, during system boot). I've traced the problem to multithreading within WPS/GFolder. To disable it, add: SET GFOLDERSYNC=YES to your CONFIG.SYS. This appears to prevent the hang, but makes the opening of GFolder's synchronous, ie, you'll see the "wait" cursor until the folder is done opening. UPGRADING TO NEW VERSIONS OF THE GROUP FOLDER: The GFOLDER.DLL cannot be replaced while it is in use by the Workplace Shell. A simple way around this problem is to add the line below: CALL=C:\OS2\CMD.EXE to the top of your CONFIG.SYS file and reboot. A full screen session will be started before the Workplace Shell is started. Copy the new GFOLDER.DLL over the old and then EXIT to continue booting. Remember to remove (or comment out using REM) the line above in your CONFIG.SYS.
