- 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.
