Aus der IBM Mailbox. Ich hoffe, dass diese Liste das Durcheinander bei
den OS/2 Fixes loest ....

This is the list, as of the date shown above, of all fixes placed by
Department 17J on either OS2CSD or OS2TOOLS. Other 2.0 fixes are not
supported by the Boca Technical Group. All fixes listed here may be
distributed externally. The difference between OS2CSD and OS2TOOLS is
that OS2CSD is for fixes, and the individual files will be removed when
a service release is  done. The service release will then be placed on
OS2CSD in its place. OS2TOOLS will hold 'enhancements' and utilities
for OS/2 2.0.

All fixes are on External BBS's and CIS except where noted. In some
case the EXTERNAL name may be different and is so noted. When the names
are the same, external names have the ZIP extension.

NOTE: Access to IBM's OS2CSD and OS2TOOLS repositories is available to
IBM personnel only.

APAR = Authorized Program Analysis Report (or bug report)
PTR  = Program Trouble Report (or bug report)

Package SOMFIX

   OS2386   LIB    615424   8-19-92  5:39p

   WPPRINT  DLL    530297   8-19-92 11:26p

This package contains a complete replacement for the SOM, PMWP, and PMPRINT.
DLLs files provided with the OS/2 2.0 GA product.  The new version of
SOM.DLL contains changes to the dynamic class loading/unloading
mechanism that have been found to provide better synergy with the
Workplace Shell APIs for class registration.  If you have noticed
problems unloading and then reloading the DLL(s) for classes you
have written, this version may provide better results.

The PMWP.DLL contains fixes for WinCreateObject, WinSetObjectData and
WinDestroyObject api calls that allow the programmer to create and
maintain objects in the workplace shell. In particular, it is now
possible to specify a setup string of >255 chars, environment strings in
the setup string are now handled properly and a spurious failure mode
for all of these apis has been fixed. In addition, it is now possible to
copy a subdirectory containing a large number of files without error.

PMPRINT.DLL has been modified to export various print related workplace
shell object classes.

OS2386.LIB contains exports for four different workplace shell object
classes that were not exported in the GA product, such as the WPDesktop
object class. If you intend to subclass workplace object classes,you must
replace this lib in your toolkit library directory to avoid linker errors
when building your code.

APAR PJ03837 BLACK ICONS on Desktop

you can install both files and NOT WORRY. Rather than update the fix, I
have chosen to correct it here. Sorry for ANY inconvience.

Package VBIOS.SYS

VBIOS.SYS is a fix for these different problems:

APAR PJ03709  Loading into UMB with OEM machines with Extended BIOS

fixed.

To replace, just copy over the file in \OS2\MDOS.  No need to include
in config.sys, since it is loaded automatically.

********************************************************
