Date of File - 09/01/92 Version 1.15 File changes flagged with |'s Original File Date - 06/08/92 Owner, Irv Spalten, IRV @ BCRVMPC1 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. ****************************************************** | |Package Name - OS2FLIST |External Name - OS2FL.ZIP | |A list of all OS/2 2.0 files with the File name, Destination directory, |and Description.

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. ******************************************************** APAR PJ04052 - HPFS problems Package HPFS This is a fix for HPFS systems reporting problems with SWAPPER.DAT when running CHKDSK.
