- PSnS/2 2.10D *DEMO VERSION* FOR 32-BIT OS/2
-
- ============================================================
- [5604-358 2.10d] (c) Copyright IBM Corp. 1991, 1993. All rights reserved.
- ============================================================
-
- Welcome to the demonstration version of IBM PSnS/2
- 32-bit, multithreaded backup as a background task for
- OS/2* v2.x.
-
- This full featured backup system will process your backups
- throughout the time you are running your machine(s) while
- you busy yourself with the tasks you need to do, leaving
- PSnS/2 to take the sting out of the daily backup routine.
-
- The zipped demo package of PSnS/2, PSNS2DEM.ZIP contains 3 files:
-
- * this README.1ST file
- * the PSS2DISK.EXE file
-
- To be able to use the install program provided you MUST extract the file
- PSS2DISK.EXE to a 1.44MB diskette, NOT one of 720K capacity.
-
- Load a newly formatted diskette in drive A: and unzip the file by opening
- a command prompt under OS/2 and entering:
-
- [drive] [path]: PSS2DISK.EXE -D *.* A:
-
- For example:
-
- C:\CSERVE\DOWNLOAD\PSS2DISK.EXE -D *.* A:
-
- The file PSS2DISK.EXE will then be extracted to the diskette in drive A: and
- the files installed in the appropriate directories for PSnS/2's installation program
- to be able to locate them.
-
- NOTE: you MUST use the switch "-D" AND "*.*" on extracting the file for
- the correct configuration of the diskette to be made. Should you omit this
- switch or the *.* instruction accidentally, erase all files from the diskette and
- start again, inserting the necessary switch "-D" AND "*.*" for PSS2DISK.EXE to
- function correctly.
-
- For installation to function correctly, you MUST install from your
- A: drive only, using the character based INSTALL.EXE program provided.
- This limitation applies to the demonstration version of PSnS/2 only.
- The full product of PSnS/2 has a Presentation Manager* graphical
- install procedure not provided with this demo package.

-
- Backup of critical data MUST NOT BE ATTEMPTED as the RESTORE function has been

- INSTALLING PSnS/2 V2.10D DEMO:
- ===========================================================================
-
- If you are unsure whether PSnS/2 will run on your system, consult the
- MANUAL.INF documentation file provided, where you will find relevant information
- under Appendix A: "Outline of Hardware and Software Requirements".
- You can use the OS/2 VIEW facility to access this file.
-
- The Installation details in this .INF file relate to the current beta version of the
- graphical installation program provided with the full product, NOT this demo version.
-
- To get PSnS/2 2.10D demo running on your computer you must install
- from the diskette you have just created running it ONLY from the A: drive
- of your computer.
-
- There are three steps to installing PSnS/2:
-
- * Setting options and copying from diskette
- * Modifying some OS/2 system files
- * Configuring your Backup Rulebooks which tell PSnS/2 what to back up.
-
- RUNNING THE INSTALLATION PROGRAM:
-
- Initiate an OS/2 session or open up a command prompt by double clicking
- and enter on the command line:
-
- A:INSTALL
-
- or
-
- A:INSTALL GENERAL
-
- Note:
-
- "GENERAL" is the name of the default rulebook. It has been preconfigured
- to run a backup of the OS/2 OS2.INI and OS2SYS.INI files, as well as
- backing up the OS/2 Workplace Shell, assuming the C: drive to be the one
- on which OS/2 v2.0 has been installed. See "Editing Rulebooks" in the file
- MANUAL.INF for details on how to adjust GENERAL to suit your particular
- circumstances.
-
- PSnS/2 is now ready to start installation and the first installation panel
- is displayed.
-
- Follow the instructions on all the installation panels. You will be asked
- various questions about how you want to install PSnS/2. Answer each
- question and press Enter. For Yes/No questions, type Y or N only. There is
- almost always a default answer which you can accept by presing Enter.
-
- It is recommended that you accept all the default answers. In particular
- you should accept the default answer [Y] for the question "Do you wish
- to install sample rulebooks?" Otherwise the default rulebook GENERAL will
- not be installed.
-
- There are notes at the bottom of each installation panel to help you answer
- the questions as they occur.
-
- =========================================================================
-
- NOTE:
-
- Two versions of the main program PSS.EXE are provided on the diskette:
-
- * In the directory OS2
-
- This is the 16-bit version for users of OS/2 v1.2 and 1.3
-
- * In the directory OS22
-
- This is the 32-bit version for OS/2 v2.x
-
- Having completed all the installation stages, PSnS/2 2.10D Demo Version will have been
- copied from your diskette and installed sccessfully on the drive of your choice.
- You will now need to refer to the documentation provided in order to complete the
- configuration necessary to run PSnS/2 on your machine.
-
- ==========================================================================
-
- DOCUMENTATION:
-
- Use OS/2's VIEW facility to access the full documentation provided in MANUAL.INF.
- which will detail the remaining configuration stages once the program files have
- correctly been installed on your computer's hard drive and it will provide comprehensive
- information to enable you further to explore the features of PSnS/2's 32-bit, multi-threaded
- background backup services for OS/2.
-
- RUNNING DOS AND WIN-OS2 WITH PSnS/2:
-
- Under certain circumstances, the demo version 2.10D of PSnS/2 may encounter difficulties
- running in the background when DOS and WIN-OS2 VDMs are being run under OS/2 2.x..
- Should you encounter this, for example, by noticing that PSnS/2 2.10D demo appears to have
- stalled when checking your drive for changed files [the status bar will show "Checking X:"
- continually], select "Priorities" from the "Setup" menu and alter ALL THREE thread priority
- settings to "HIGH". Then close down PSnS/2 completely before restarting the program.
- PSnS/2 should then run unhindered while the relevant VDMs are in use.
-
- NOTE:
- =====
-
- ONLY alter these thread priority settings in cases where you are encountering clearly discernible
- problems with VDMs under OS/2 v2.x.. Should you need to alter the settings, ALWAYS close
- down PSnS/2 first and restart the program before continuing work with your computer.
-
