INSTALLATION UNDER OS/2 WARP
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.) Insert the Executor CD into the CD-ROM drive.
|
|
|
|
2.) Run the installation program. You can do this from a DOS prompt
|
|
by typing
|
|
|
|
D:\install
|
|
|
|
(assuming that your CD-ROM drive is your D: drive), or you can do it
|
|
from the OS/2 desktop:
|
|
|
|
Right-click the CD object on the Launch Pad, click the arrow
|
|
next to Open, and choose Icon view.
|
|
|
|
A window should pop up showing all the disk's program objects.
|
|
Double-click on INSTALL.EXE to start the installation program.
|
|
|
|
3.) Change the destination directory for installation if you do not
|
|
want to install in C:\EXECUTOR. Press the number 2 when you are ready
|
|
to begin the installation.
|
|
|
|
4.) When the DOS installation program has finished, double-click
|
|
OS/2's Add Programs object in the System Setup folder. Press the
|
|
enter key to have OS/2 detect the new Executor program automatically.
|
|
If autodetection fails, click on "Yes" to search for and select the
|
|
new program for the desktop.
|
|
|
|
5.) Select C:\EXECUTOR\EXECUTOR.EXE and click OK. There will then be
|
|
a new folder on your desktop containing the Executor object.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONFIGURATION UNDER OS/2 WARP
|
|
|
|
The default DOS settings OS/2 assigns for you may work perfectly. If
|
|
Executor behaves strangely, though, then you might want to adjust the
|
|
settings by hand. To do this, right-click on the Executor object and
|
|
click Settings. Then click the notebook's Session tab and click the
|
|
DOS settings button. Click OK, and the list of DOS settings should be
|
|
displayed.
|
|
|
|
Here are some settings other OS/2 users have used with success:
|
|
|
|
DOS_HIGH On
|
|
DPMI_DOS_API ENABLED
|
|
DPMI_MEMORY_LIMIT 16
|
|
EMS_MEMORY_LIMIT 0
|
|
HW_ROM_TO_RAM On
|
|
HW_TIMER On
|
|
INT_DURING_IO On
|
|
VIDEO_8514A_XGA_IOTRAP Off
|
|
VIDEO_FASTPASTE Off
|
|
VIDEO_MODE_RESTRICTION NONE
|
|
VIDEO_ONDEMAND_MEMORY On
|
|
VIDEO_RETRACE_EMULATION Off
|
|
VIDEO_ROM_EMULATION Off
|
|
VIDEO_SWITCH_NOTIFICATION Off
|
|
VIDEO_WINDOW_REFRESH 1
|
|
XMS_HANDLES 0
|
|
XMS_MEMORY_LIMIT 0
|
|
|
|
|
|
You don't need to find an "OK" or "Save" button to save these
|
|
settings. The changes take place as soon as you adjust them.
|
|
|
|
Note that increasing the DPMI memory limit does not automatically
|
|
increase the memory Executor uses. You must also use Executor's
|
|
"-memory" command line switch, to tell Executor that more memory is
|
|
available.
|
|
|
|
If after adjusting the settings you still have trouble running
|
|
Executor/DOS under OS/2, write to support@ardi.com with your serial
|
|
number and your system details. We'll try to figure out a combination
|
|
of settings which will work for you.
|
|
|
|
Some OS/2 Executor users like to start Executor from a batch file
|
|
instead of starting Executor directly, because on some systems it
|
|
doesn't show up in the task list unless started indirectly. If you
|
|
want to do this, just make a text file called "executor.bat" which
|
|
contains the following two lines:
|
|
|
|
@echo off
|
|
executor.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
|
|
|
|
Then point your desktop object to this batch file rather than to
|
|
executor.exe itself. If you want to run another program to enhance
|
|
Executor, such as UniVBE (a universal video driver which speeds up
|
|
graphics performance), you can add its command to the Executor batch
|
|
file as well:
|
|
|
|
@echo off
|
|
univbe
|
|
executor.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
|
|
|
|
|
|
