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. |
