Welcome to Warp Factor 7's OnScreen/2 Release 2.03. --------------------------------------------------- This README file contains important information about OnScreen/2. Platform Specifics ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ IBM OS/2 2.x & Warp 3.0 OnScreen/2 is supported on OS/2 versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.11 & Warp 3.0. If you have installed the OS/2 .DLL based version and did not install the .DLL's to a directory already specified on your LIBPATH you will need to edit your config.sys file and add the directory you choose for the .DLL's to it. Microsoft Windows NT & Windows95 OnScreen/2 is supported on Windows NT 3.5 only, it will probably run on Windows95 but I can't guarantee it. It has been tested on the Chicago M6 beta and appears to be working ok. If you have installed the Win32 .DLL based version and did not install the .DLL's to a directory already specified on your PATH you will need to add the directory you choose for the .DLL's to it. PC-DOS OnScreen/2 is supported on DOS versions 5.0 to 6.22, it may work on older versions of DOS but it has not been tested on any version prior to 5.0. If you have installed the DOS version you will have to ensure that the directory which OnScreen/2 was installed to is already on your path or is added to your path. This release of OnScreen/2 uses Borland's 32bit DOS extender. If you want to run OnScreen/2 under an MS-Windows 3.1 or 3.11 DOS Box you will have to install windmpi.386. To install windpmi.386 add the following line to the [386Enh] section of your system.ini file device=X:\DIR\windpmi.386 where X:\DIR is the drive and directory where OnScreen/2 was installed. Sharing ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please do give copies of OnScreen/2 to your friends, local BBS's etc. Please ensure that you pass them the original OnScreen/2 zipfile intact. Please do not pass on a copy of OnScreen/2 which has had your serial number bound to the executable. Distribution format ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As and from release 2.02, OnScreen/2 will no longer be distributed in one .zip file, instead each supported operating system will have its own .zip file. This means that when you unzip a particular OnScreen/2 zipfile you will not get the entire directory structure as listed below, you will instead get the files directly under the ONSCREEN directory and one of the OS2, DOS or WIN32 directories. The file naming convention used will be as follows:- Program Name Version Major_Minor Operating System Status OS 2 _00 O = OS/2 A = Alpha OS 2 _00 D = DOS B = Beta OS 2 _00 W = Win32 G = Gamma R = Release As an example of this the OS/2 2.02 version will be distributed in a zipfile called OS2_02OR.ZIP. Directory structure ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OnScreen/2 will unpack into a directory named ONSCREEN in the current directory, the install.exe will be in the current directory. The easiest way to install OnScreen/2 is to unzip it to a floppy and then run a:\install. Remember to use the -d switch with PKUNZIP to create the directory structure. The directory structure is as follows .\install.exe OS/2, DOS or Win32 install program .\ONSCREEN\readme.txt Readme please!
