- 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
