MKWINOS/2 - Make OS/2 Desktop Objects
from Your Windows Program Manager
Las Vegas, Nevada (9/26/95) -- C F S Nevada, Inc. today has released
MKWINOS/2 - a commercial OS/2 program that creates the equivalent of your
Windows Program Manager as an OS/2 Desktop folder named "Program Manager
Desktop Equivalent". Your Windows groups and the program entities within
each group are used to create OS/2 folders and program objects respec-
tively within the Program Manager Desktop Equivalent folder. MKWINOS/2 is
equally effective with OS/2 Warp or OS/2 2.1 and 2.11.
Each OS/2 folder (the Desktop folder along with the group folders)
will be the same size and in the same relative screen position as they
exist on your full screen Windows display. The OS/2 folders created from
the Windows program groups will contain the same Windows and DOS programs
as the originals. Each program is setup as a Win-OS/2 object.
MKWINOS/2 is significantly different from the Add Programs (or OS/2
2.1 Migrate Programs) facility in OS/2 since it creates program objects
for just those applications that you had setup under Windows. MKWINOS/2
does not search your drives looking for possible candidates. Any prev-
iously created OS/2 Windows-related objects remain unchanged and can be
removed at your discretion. Beyond simply creating OS/2 objects, MKWINOS/2
merges Windows files and properties into WINOS2 on an OS/2 fullpack
system.
The latest version of MKWINOS2.ZIP is available on the Internet via a
World Wide Web browser from <http://www.cfsrexx.com>, via FTP from
<ftp.cfsrexx.com/mkwinos2>, or from CompuServe in Library 1 of the OS2AVEN
forum. The free distribution package creates a limited number of Windows
program objects. The demo package can be fully enabled by purchasing a
software key. The retail price of MKWINOS/2 keys is $19.95. Site licensing
and volume discounts are available.
Updates to the current version of MKWINOS/2 will be available at no
additional charge from these electronic repositories. Though MKWINOS/2 is
also available from other BBS and online services, C F S Nevada, Inc. only
maintains the home sites.
MKWINOS/2 was designed and written by Dick Goran, the author of the
award-winning, best selling REXX Reference Summary Handbook and an
authority on OS/2 Workplace Shell object management.
