======================================================================= EasyPDS Release Notes Version 1.50I (C) Copyright Compo Hill Computing, 1994-1995 All rights reserved. ======================================================================= EasyPDS is a Extra! for Windows application that eases the burdens of users who transfer files between PCs and MVS PDSs. The user can use a standard PC File list box and a PDS member list box to select which files should be sent and which members should be received. The user builds a 'queue' of transfer commands which can then be executed in bulk (either now or later). EasyPDS helps you keep track of where the most current copy exists by setting the mainframe member's date based on the PC file date and setting the PC file date from the member's date. EasyPDS will also adjust the dates for different time-zones. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- EasyPDS requires Windows 3.1 or higher and Extra! for Windows version 3.31 or higher on your PC. Some features (the STOP button) are only available with Extra! for Windows version 4.0 or above. EasyPDS 'converses' with TSO/ISPF on your MVS host. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Install EasyPDS by running the SETUP program from the Run... selection of Window's Program Manager or File Manager. SETUP will create a directory for the EASYPDS application (default is C:\EASYPDS) and install the following files: File Directory -------------- --------------------------------------------- EASYPDS.EXE EASYPDS EASYPDS.HLP EASYPDS GETMDATE.CLI EASYPDS SETMDATE.CLI EASYPDS README.TXT EASYPDS VER.DLL Windows SYSTEM directory SETUPKIT.DLL Windows SYSTEM directory VBRUN300.DLL Windows SYSTEM directory THREED.VBX Windows SYSTEM directory CMDIALOG.VBX Windows SYSTEM directory COMMDLG.DLL Windows SYSTEM directory MHRUN400.DLL Windows SYSTEM directory MHFL200.VBX Windows SYSTEM directory ATMAPI.DLL Extra! program directory VBRUN300.DLL is NOT included in the unregistered shareware versions. You must install a version of VBRUN300.DLL before running Setup. EasyPDS is a HLLAPI program which requires that the Extra! directory be included in your PATH when running EasyPDS. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- EasyPDS is shareware. The unregistered version, which is restricted to 20 member PDS directories, may be freely copied and distributed. The unregistered version is for evaluation purposes only. If you find EasyPDS useful and want to continue using it, you should register with Compo Hill Computing by following the directions in the EasyPDS Help file. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes in this version: 1.50D A new INI option called DirectoryDSN may be placed in the [OPTIONS]. It should be set to the fully qualified dataset name ISPF creates when EasyPDS issues the SAVE EASYPDS command. You should use this option if your prefix is different then your TSO userid. In this case, ISPF will create a file called prefix.userid.EASYPDS.MEMBERS. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Extra! for Windows is a trademark of Attachmate Corporation -----------------------------------------------------------------------
