EXCAL, THE WORKPLACE CALENDAR

INSTALLING EXCAL ON YOUR SYSTEM FOR THE FIRST TIME:

1. Copy the EXCAL.DLL to C:\OS2\DLL, or another path listed in
   the LIBPATH statement in your CONFIG.SYS.

2. Copy the EXCAL.HLP to C:\OS2\HELP, or another path listed in
   the HELP environment variable in your CONFIG.SYS.

3. Run EXCINST.EXE to register the EXCAL.DLL and create an instance
   of ExCal.  EXCINST.EXE will prompt for the path you
   copied the EXCAL.DLL.

INSTALLING EXCAL ON YOUR SYSTEM FOR THE FIRST TIME *WITHOUT PROMPTING*:

   EXCINST path                   Where 'path' is where EXCAL.DLL
                                  was copied.
       -- or --

   EXCINST /USELIBPATH            If you copied EXCAL.DLL to a path
                                  on your LIBPATH.

   A progress dialog is displayed during installation.

ALSO INCLUDE IN THIS PACKAGE:

  EXCAL.CMD is the REXX equivalent of the installation utility 
  EXCINST.EXE.  It shows how the REXX API can be used to create and 
  modify ExCal objects.  

  Online help is available from any of the ExCal objects (calendar, event,
  time, place), or by running VIEW EXCAL.INF.

UPGRADING TO NEW VERSIONS OF THE EXCAL:

To upgrade, the EXCAL.DLL must be replaced.  But typically it is
"in use" by the system.  Here's two ways it can be replaced:

1. 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 EXCAL.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.

2. Or, another way:

   a. Rename the new EXCAL.DLL file to EXCAL.LLD (for downloading).
   b. Add the following lines to STARTUP.CMD, replacing 'x:\dir?'
      with the path you downloaded EXCAL.DLL (EXCAL.LLD) to:

      rem Allows replacing of EXCAL.DLL during boot
      IF NOT EXIST x:\dir?\EXCAL.LLD GOTO SKIPEXCAL
      DEL x:\dir?\EXCAL.DLL
      REN x:\dir?\EXCAL.LLD *.DLL
      :SKIPEXCAL
