WPSam - A Workplace Shell Administration Program
Version 1.1
By: Bernhard Budnik
Noller & Breining Software
Introduction
============
WPSam is an extension to the Workplace Shell of OS/2 that enables you to
maintain a set of different Workplace Shells on your PC. You may switch
between these Workplace Shells during one session (i. e. without
restarting your PC). You even don't have to stop running programs.
A lot of applications are imagineable with this program:
- One can create different desktops for different jobs he has to carry out on
a single workstation.
- A PC might belong to different users and each of them has a different
taste of a nice Workplace Shell.
- It is even possible to hold a private Workplace Shell on a network server
for each user in this network. And each of these users can get his
private Shell on every PC in this network.
Enter 'VIEW WPSAM' to get a complete documentation!
But please note: This is a first release of the
document. We only have a german installation of
OS/2 at the moment, thus some of the displayed
menues in the documentation are mixed-language!
We will change this soon.
Installation
============
- Call the REXX-procedure 'REGISTER' out of a fullscreen or windowed session.
If a version of WPSam has already been installed on the PC you will see an
error message. This is, because OS/2 read-protects DLL-files, that are in use
by the operation system and thus can't be overwritten.
In this case:
- Start your PC with the installation disk.
- Press 'ESC' as soon as it is possible (to get a command prompt).
- Start 'REGISTER' as already mentioned.
This version of WPSam is an evaluation version. A newly created desktop
only works for three weeks. If you buy a registerd version of WPSam, these
created desktops will work again.
