EXCAL, THE WORKPLACE CALENDAR (11/10/93) by Diana Soost and Dan Kehn Copyright (C) International Business Machines Corporation, 1993 PREREQUISITES: This version has only been tested on OS/2 2.1. It may work on OS/2 2.0 with SOMFIX installed, but caveat emptor! INSTALLATION First copy your EXCAL.DLL file to a disk. For example, C:\OS2\DLL. Copy the ExCal help file, EXCAL.HLP, to your help directory, for example, C:\OS2\HELP. Then start the installation program, EXCINST.EXE. It will prompt you for the path where your copied the EXCAL.DLL. When the installation is complete, a new folder object called "ExCal" will appear on your desktop. It contains a ExCal calendar object and example templates. See "Example use of ExCal" in the on-line help of the ExCal calendar object for more details. UPGRADING TO NEW VERSIONS OF EXCAL: The EXCAL.DLL cannot be replaced while it is in use by the Workplace Shell. A simple way around this problem is to 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.
