June 18, 1993. Instructions for installation of OS/2 2.1 PMWP.DLL fix.


Boot OS/2 2.1 from the Install diskette, and insert Disk 1 when requested.
At the first installation welcome panel, press the Esc key to exit to a
command prompt.

Change the current drive and current directory to the location of the
3 fix files - APPLYFIX.CMD, PATCH.EXE and PATCH.RTP. This may be on a
diskette or hard drive dependant on where you chose to place these fix
files when you received them.

Type the following command
    applyfix c:
where "c:" is the harddisk that OS/2 2.1 has been installed to.

The applyfix program will replace the PMWP.DLL in the \OS2\DLL directory,
and will create a backup copy in \OS2\ARCHIVE\OS2\DLL. This backup copy
will be needed if any future fixes are to be applied - it is suggested you
keep this backup copy on diskette should you need to delete the backup
from your harddisk.

This PMWP.DLL fixes the following problem :

   1. APAR PJ08808 - When installing 2.1 over an earlier version of OS/2
      without formatting, the system may reboot to a white screen and
      fail to bring up the desktop.

   2. APAR PJ08727 - The final "shutdown complete" message is displayed
      underneath the "shutdown please wait" message on some systems.

   3. APAR PJ08606 - Mass duplication of template objects after creating
      a shadow.
