Configuration Information
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Requires:
|
|||
|
|
IBM TCP/IP 2.0
|
|||
|
|
RXSOCK.DLL and vrobj.dll must be somewhere in your
|
|||
|
|
config.sys LIBPATH specification.
|
|||
|
|
(install.cmd defaults to putting them into /tcpip/dll)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Features:
|
|||
|
|
Saves window position and size
|
|||
|
|
Also saves fonts and colors drag and dropped
|
|||
|
|
from the OS/2 System font and color palettes
|
|||
|
|
The Hosts tool palette is resizable, just drag border
|
|||
|
|
to desired width, and buttons will be reconfigured.
|
|||
|
|
All changes to the look of Thumb are saved when you
|
|||
|
|
quit (Alt-Q, Alt-F4, or double click on top left).
|
|||
|
|
If Thumb is minized when you quit it (ie, click once
|
|||
|
|
on minimized icon, then on close to close it), it
|
|||
|
|
will then start minimized the next time you run it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Known Shortcomings:
|
|||
|
|
If you are not networked properly, it's a long wait for
|
|||
|
|
RXSOCK.DLL to time out and let you close Thumb.
|
|||
|
|
RXSOCK.DLL is from software.watson.ibm.com in /ews
|
|||
|
|
(employee written software), and has this limitation.
|
|||
|
|
Having the Hosts tool palette shown at quit time
|
|||
|
|
doesn't get saved due to a reported VX-REXX 2.0a bug.
|
|||
|
|
Using UP/DOWN arrow keys while focus is on the drop down
|
|||
|
|
list doesn't give proper selection behavior yet. Using
|
|||
|
|
your mouse works fine.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Revision/Fix History:
|
|||
|
|
Thumb 1.0 released on 5/24/94
|
|||
|
|
Thumb 1.1 released on 7/06/94
|
|||
|
|
Built using Build B of Watcom's VX-REXX, thus it's best with
|
|||
|
|
VROBJ.DLL 6-20-94 836001 bytes (from Patch Level B), although
|
|||
|
|
it will work with VROBJ.DLL from Patch Level A.
|
|||
|
|
Due to popular demand, Thumb is now distributed without
|
|||
|
|
VROBJ.DLL. Also, RXSOCK is also no longer included, as
|
|||
|
|
the latest versions of IBM TCP/IP 2.0 for OS/2 now include
|
|||
|
|
it as part of the standard distribution.
|
|||
|
|
If you used Thumb 1.0, you may want to delete the VROBJ.DLL
|
|||
|
|
and RXSOCK.DLL files from your /tcpip/bin directory if you
|
|||
|
|
don't have other apps that use those files.
|
|||
|
|
You can now run Thumb from any directory (ie, from C:,
|
|||
|
|
type "\thumb\thumb", and it will work). It "knows"
|
|||
|
|
where it's running from, and will find it's own .ini
|
|||
|
|
file (whereas before it would just show no list and
|
|||
|
|
wouldn't save changes).
|
|||
|
|
Cosmetic changes to this Thumb.TXT file.
|
|||
|
|
Different ZIP program used (2.0.1) to preserve HPFS
|
|||
|
|
attributes (eg., now extracts to Thumb.EXE instead of
|
|||
|
|
THUMB.EXE when using Info-ZIP 5.1 UNZIP).
|
|||
|
|
Slightly smaller default font (System VIO) used for
|
|||
|
|
returned data.
|
|||
|
|
Fixed large returns of data, interpreting line-feed " "
|
|||
|
|
character correctly.
|
|||
|
|
Focus now defaults to name field.
|
|||
|
|
New Thumb icon.
|
|||
|
|
The time stamp tells you the version number of the files
|
|||
|
|
in your Thumb directory.
|
|||
|
|
Thumb 1.2 released on 7/14/94
|
|||
|
|
RXSOCK put back into the distribution. Also, 1.1 was
|
|||
|
|
taken out of from ftp-os2.cdrom.com /pub/incoming for
|
|||
|
|
unknown reasons twice.
