This README documents the installation procedure for OS/2 Warp 3.0 support for Microsoft's** Win32s** version 1.15 or above. There are 2 version of Microsft Win32s 1.25. 1). Version 1.25 level 100 (referred to as Win2s 1.25a) 2). Version 1.25 level 110 (referred to as Win32s 1.25b) You will need to know whether you have 1.25a or 1.25b installed on your machine in order to get Win32s 1.25 applications to work under WIN-OS/2. There is a VW32S.SYS device statement in OS/2's CONFIG.SYS. For OS/2 support of Win32s 1.25, you will need to add a parameter to that statement as described below in the installation instructions. If you have Win32s 1.25a installed, the parameter to specify on the device statement in OS/2's CONFIG.SYS for VW32S.SYS is "1, 125, 100". If you have Win32S 1.25b installed, you have the option of specifying "1,125,110" on the VW32S.SYS device statement, as these values are the default. INSTALLATION ------------ 1).Copy VW32S.SYS to your working directory copy vw32s.sys :\VW32S.SYS 2).Edit CONFIG.SYS, first by REMing out the existing DEVICE=:\OS2\MDOS\VW32S.SYS and add a new DEVICE= statement rem DEVICE=:\OS2\MDOS\VW32S.SYS DEVICE=:\VW32S.SYS 1,25,110 Note: The Major/Minor/Build levels for VW32S.SYS default levels are 1,25,110 if no levels are specified on the DEVICE statement in CONFIG.SYS. If the version levels in the WIN32S.INI and the CONFIG.SYS are different, you may encounter an error message dialog box during the execution of a win32s application, "one of the component is an older version ...." 3).Reboot the machine to take the effect.
