Latest Release - Dec. 08, 1994
Author: David Kelsey
Ver. 2.12
CHKSTORE is a package which will check on the use of space on user's home
directories. It they exceed a limit imposed on them, then the system will
"revoke" that user by changing access of their home directory and all their
subdirectories to be RDA. If a user has been "revoked" and their home directory
is either increased or the user deletes some files then the package will

GFOLDR.ZIP Date Issued - May 19, 1993
Latest Release - Dec. 08, 1994
(Version 2.3f)
Author: Dan Kehn IBM Cary, NC
Group Folder
To handle the problem of getting to an object in a folder, many
users create a special folder to hold objects that they frequently
use. But often this new folder becomes filled with objects, some
of which are only used once a month while others are used hourly.
Locating a desired object in such a folder can be like trying to
find "a needle in a haystack".
To solve the retrieval problem, Group Folder allows you to create
visible subsections within a given folder. Thus, you have more
control over the organization of the contents of folders. The
grouping of related objects helps you locate the object you want
more quickly.

BOOT2X.ZIP Date Issued - August 21, 1992
Latest Release - Nov 18, 1994
Version 6.00
Author: Kenneth Kahn IBM Poughkeepsie, NY
The BOOTOS2 program is a utility that allows you to build a BOOTable OS/2 V2
or V3 system using an existing OS/2 V2 or V3 system. The BOOT system can be
installed on either Floppy Disks or a Hard Disk Partition.
There are three types of BOOT systems you can install: Minimum. PM, and
WPS.
Ver 2.00
The BOOTOS2 program is a utility that allows you to build a BOOTable
OS/2 V2 system using an existing OS/2 V2 system. The BOOT system can
be installed on either Floppy Disks or a Hard Disk Partition.
Ver 3.00
05/93 : (V3.00)
- Updated BOS2U21 and BOS2S21 files to 2.1 GA levels
- Fixed 2DISK option. It will no longer return RC=4 after trying
to format B.
- Added support for SVGA; Copy over \OS2\SVGADATA.PMI
- Added code to copy over BASEDEV= invocation arguments
- Added code to copy over HELPMGR.DLL if room allows
- Added 2.1 support for 8514 by updating BOS2U21.INI with the proper values
for PM_DISPLAYS. This updating of BOS2U21 will be done for all display
types if necessary.
- Added support for HPFS386
- For a Disk Install, install sequence changed so the files SYSINST1 and
HARDERR are only copied if there is room. This frees up room for BIO
files required by certain MicroChannel machines that could not fit
otherwise.
*NOTE* If SYSINST1/HARDERR are not installed, then CAD will not work
- Enhanced install of BASEDEV drivers. For a single 1.44M BOOT Disk, only
those BASEDEV drivers that are needed for accessing DASD (.ADD) are copied.
Otherwise, if room allows, all BASEDEV drivers will be copied.
- Removed copying of DTM.DLL for a TYPE=PM or TYPE=WPS install. It wasn't
needed for anything as far as I could tell and at least one user complained
it wasn't installed on his base OS/2 system
- Support for the IBM IA/A is not working in this release. I am trying to get
help with this from the IA/A development team, but it might take a while. If
you have IA/A support installed on your active system when you run BOOTOS2,
you can try the following:
* On the \OS2\DLL directory of your active OS/2 2.x system, look for a file
named DISPLAY.OLD; this is the DISPLAY.DLL that was active before you ran
the IA/A INSTALL program. Copy this 'over' the DISPLAY.DLL that BOOTOS2
installed on the \OS2\DLL directory of your 'target' system.
* In the CONFIG.SYS of your target system, look for the following statements:
DEVICE=\OS2\XGARING0.SYS
DEVICE=\OS2\IAOS2RFS.SYS
SET VIDEO_DEVICES=VIO_yyy,VIO_IBMIAA
SET VIO_IBMIAA=DEVICE(BVHVGA,BVHIAA)
SET VIO_yyy=DEVICE(BVHVGA,BVHyyy)
* Change these to:
rem DEVICE=\OS2\XGARING0.SYS
rem DEVICE=\OS2\IAOS2RFS.SYS
SET VIDEO_DEVICES=VIO_yyy
rem SET VIO_IBMIAA=DEVICE(BVHVGA,BVHIAA)
SET VIO_yyy=DEVICE(BVHyyy)
* Do this *BEFORE* you IPL your Target BOOTOS2 System

FENX2.ZIP Date Issued - Sept. 30, 1994
Ver. 1.12
File Phoenix will scan a selected drive and list all files
which are possibly recoverable. You can then select one or
more files and recover them to another drive.
File Phoenix also allows you to:
1) View the first 4096 bytes of a file before
recovering it.
2) View each cluster of an erased FAT file and
decide whether you want to recover it or skip
it. This is especially useful when recovering
files who's clusters were not contiguous.
Both HPFS and FAT drives are supported. For HPFS, however,
all allocated sectors must be scanned in order to find
erased files. This means that scanning HPFS drives will
require significantly more time than scanning FAT drives.
NOTE: even if all bytes of an erased file are recovered,
there is no guarantee that the *correct* bytes are
recovered. That is, if a sector of the erased file
was overwritten, the wrong data would be recovered.
The less activity on the drive since the time the
file was erased, the better the chances that the
entire file will be correctly recovered.
NOTE: I haven't tested recovering files from compressed
disks (e.g. disks compressed with Stacker ).
Reports from other users, however, indicate that
that recovery of such files does work.

Progref is a pm utility to quickly generate Program reference objects from
executables. The program program accepts as input 0 or more fully
defined program names (ie the path is included) separated by blanks.
For example "progref d:\abcd\test.exe f:\zyz\next.cmd". If no argument is
supplied a file dialog provides for selection of the input file.
Alternatly, selecting executables from the drives object and dropping them on
a program reference of progref itself will provide the same input. A simple

PMPRTF.ZIP Date Issued - September 3, 1992
Latest Release - June 17,1993
Author: Mike Cowlishaw IBM United Kingdom Laboratories.
* Would you like to use the C standard function 'printf' in your PM
programs for debugging, occasional error messages, etc.?
* Do you have existing subroutines, that use printf, that you'd like to
use in PM programs?
If you answer yes to either of these, you may find the PMprintf tool
useful. PMprintf comprises two parts:
printf.obj -- an object file, compiled with IBM C Set/2, which you
link in with your PM program just like any other subroutine. This
provides the printf service to that program. You write printf calls
in your C program in the usual way; the printf subroutine buffers
the data (on a per-thread basis in multi-thread programs) and adds
each completed line to a message queue. For example, the following
printf call will write a line to the PMprintf application and sound
the Alert (bell):
printf("This seems to work\a\n");
Sample source (in C) is also provided for the printf function.
pmprintf.exe -- is a PM application which sets up the queue used by
printf and then "catches" and displays incoming printf lines. It is
a kind of 'monitor' or 'virtual console' which will accept lines
from any number of processes that use printf. PMprintf offers a
number of options, including the ability to log the incoming lines
to a file. See below for a short description of the options.
If PMprintf has been started then it will display the incoming lines
from printf calls in other processes. If it has not been started,
then printf calls are quietly ignored (they return 0, not an error).
PMprintf can be started or stopped at any time, and printf calls
will then become active or be ignored as appropriate.
Sample source for printf (printf.c) is included in the package; this
offers certain customization options (for example, you can cause a
prefix to be added to the start of each line so that different
applications can have unique output lines, or cause lines to be broken
at a certain length). There are also some usage hints and minor
restrictions, documented in the header of printf.c.

Author: Mike Cowlishaw IBM United Kingdom Laboratories.
PMGlobe is a program which displays the Earth as a globe using OS/2
Presentation Manager. You can choose to view the globe from any
direction, or select one of a number of 'standard' views.
In addition to simply displaying a picture of the world, PMGlobe will
also let you light the globe as though by sunlight -- so you can see
at a glance those areas of the globe where the sun has risen, and where
it is night. Additional options add shading to the globe for a
three-dimensional effect, and let you measure distances between
two points on the globe. Other features are described in the file
PMGLOBE.DOC.
With the command interface included with PMGlobe, you can add markers
and labels to the globe and have greater control over its actions. If
you wish, you can use REXX (the scripting language included with OS/2)
as a macro language for PMGlobe -- see PMGLOBEX.DOC for a description of
the PMGlobe commands available; all of them can be used in a REXX macro.
Ver 2.02 fixes a problem with DOS programs (even COMM ones) and adds
on-globe clock capability.

Author: Dan Kehn IBM Cary, NC
Group Folder
To handle the problem of getting to an object in a folder, many
users create a special folder to hold objects that they frequently
use. But often this new folder becomes filled with objects, some
of which are only used once a month while others are used hourly.
Locating a desired object in such a folder can be like trying to
find "a needle in a haystack".
To solve the retrieval problem, Group Folder allows you to create
visible subsections within a given folder. Thus, you have more
control over the organization of the contents of folders. The
grouping of related objects helps you locate the object you want
more quickly.

Author: Gunnar P. Seaburg IBM Houston Texas.
The EDITINI program is a simple editor which can be used to view
and change text entries in the OS2.INI and OS2SYS.INI keyed
files. The OS2.INI and OS2SYS.INI files provide a convenient
place for programs to store profile information. However, these
files are stored in binary form and therefore cannot be readily
viewed without a special program. That's why EDITINI was
created.
EDITINI can be used to view text entries in the OS2.INI and
OS2SYS.INI profiles, and it also provides the ability to change
or delete entries if desired. (EDITINI does not provide binary
data editing capability.)

DBMRPW.ZIP Date Issued - September 1, 1992
Author: James Wangler IBM Austin, TX.
REMOTE PASSWORD ADMINISTRATION UTILITY
For Client-to-Server-to-Host Password Updates
This is for EXTENDED SERVICES 1.0 (ES 1.0)
PURPOSE: This utility is intended for use with the OS/2 Database
Manager, while running a Server and Client(s) arrangement
without the use of the OS/2 LAN Server program.
The problem to be solved is: how does a user on a client
machine update the password access on the server, for
a particular user-id. In addition, if a host session(s)
is provided and active on the server, how does a user on a
client machine update the password access on the host
session(s). The problem is physical access to the
server is very difficult or virtually impossible, due to
distance or security access.
This utility allows a user on a client machine to update
the password access on the server, for a particular
user-id. In addition, if a host session(s) is provided
and active on the server, this utility allows a user on a
client machine to update the password access on the host
session(s), all without having physical access to the server.
