1011 - Summary/Objective
1012 -
101201 - Followed up work at ref SDS 16 0000.
101202 -
101203 - Completed configuring PG&E network to boot up on my cpu under os2.
101204 - Still need to configure an icon folder and solve printer interface
101205 - problem.
101206 -
101207 -
101208 - ..
1013 -
1014 -
1015 - Progress
1016 -
101601 - Called and left message for Jeff to call on when he is coming by this
101602 - morning.

101604 -

1019 - 1322 Adam and Jeff
1020 -
102001 - Adam re-installed Banyan Vines in the directory "Vines". He removed
102002 - the ban directory. The string to log-on in an OS2 folder is:
102003 -
102004 - cd\vines
102005 - ban /nl
102006 - z: login temp@tspm@ps /pass:temp
102007 -
102008 - ...should this really be temp2@tspm@ps [????]
102009 -
102010 - [That turned out to be true, per ref SDS 12 line 47.]
102011 -
102012 -
102013 - ..
102014 - Config.sys
102015 -
102016 - Saved the existing file as:
102017 -
102018 - config.old
102019 -
102020 - ...however there is another file it looked like Adam created
102021 - called:
102022 -
102023 - config.agw
102024 -
102025 - Config.old ref OF 4 line 70, is dated 940816 which is the
102026 - day the work was done (today) and the date of config.agw
102027 - is 940813. So I am somewhat confused about which is the
102028 - "original" file modified by Adam today.
102029 - ..
102030 - It appears he saved the original to config.agw,
102031 - ref OF 3 line 70; then when the thing was installed, the
102032 - Banyan Vines program made another change, which then
102033 - created the config.old file.
102034 -
102035 - ..
102036 - Save Original Config.sys
102037 -
102038 - I put config.agw for safe keeping in following
102039 - directory, so when the project is over, we can
102040 - restore things:
102041 -
102042 - c: os2 install config.agw
102043 -
102044 - Saved Banyan config.sys to:
102045 -
102046 - c: os2 install config.ban
102047 -
102048 - Decided to save config.old also, because it may be
102049 - an intermediate step needed; so we have:
102050 -
102051 - c: os2 install config.old
102052 - ..
102053 - I then deleted the redundant config.x files in
102054 - root directory.
102055 -
102056 - The new config.sys has the commands at the end of the file,
102057 - beginning at ref OF 5 line 80; except there are three new
102058 - lines below the Files=20 line, ref OF 5 line 25 calling
102059 - commands in directory:
102060 -
102061 - c:\ibmcom
102062 -
102063 - It also looks like the libpath statement has been changed to
102064 - include c:\vines at line ref OF 5 line 16.
102065 -
102066 -
102067 - We looked at the record at ref SDS 14 line 118, where IBM reports
102068 - Banyan must be booted in a vm mode. This does not seem to be correct.
102069 - ..
102070 - Adam was able to log onto the network by manually entering the
102071 - above commands in an os2 window.
102072 -
102073 -
102074 -
102075 - ..
1021 -
1022 -
1023 - OS2 Folder
1024 -
102401 - After Adam and Jeff left, I created an os2 folder to execute the
102402 - above commands.
102403 -
102404 - Initially, I could not get ban.exe to boot up in a folder. I then
102405 - tried using a template for an os2 program, and moving to the desktop.
102406 - I loaded ban.exe in it and it worked.
102407 -
102408 -
102409 - ..
102410 - Memory & SDS
102411 -
102412 - Banyan under OS2 All DOS and Windows apps, still have 752K of RAM.
102413 -
102414 -
102415 - ..
1025 -
1026 -
1027 - 1448 called IBM to configure folder
1028 -
102801 - How do we make a folder to call an os2 program. Talked to Christian.
102802 -
102803 - He had difficulty getting me connected to technical support in Austin
102804 - for some reason. He said their system was having problems.
102805 -
102806 -
102807 - ..
1029 -
1030 -
1031 - 1557 talked to Tanya
1032 - ..
103201 - She is familiar with Banyan Vines. Initially, Tanya recommended
103202 - using a rexx method she called:
103203 -
103204 - sys_create_object
103205 -
103206 -
103207 -
1033 -
SUBJECTS
REXX
Editor
1205 - ..
120501 - Upon discussion, we decided to first try simply creating an os2
120502 - batch file, which needs an extension, "cmd." We evidently have to use
120503 - the os2 editor to do this, because that is the only thing rexx will
120504 - read.
120505 -
120506 - [This turned out not to be true, our DOS Medit editor is okay, just
120507 - need a cmd extension, per ref SDS 17 line 119.]
120508 - ..
120509 - Created a three line file, thus:
120510 -
120511 - cd\vines
120512 - ban /nl
120513 - z: login temp2@tspm@ps /pass:temp
120514 -
120515 - ...this boots and sort of runs, but after we get logged on to the
120516 - network the window is closed. It is not clear where it goes.
120517 - ..
120518 - Looks like we may need a switch to keep the thing open.
120519 -

SUBJECTS
OS2, Configuration, Path for OS2 Windows
OS2 Installation on CPU #3, Config.sys
1405 - ..
140501 - Decided to try adding the sds path to the os2 windows libpath
140502 - statement, so we when we log onto the network, it is automatically in
140503 - the path.
140504 -
140505 -
140506 -
140507 - ..
1406 -
1407 -
1408 - config.sys
1409 -
140901 - Line 16 - appended to this line:
140902 -
140903 - c:\sd\01
140904 -
140905 - ...later changed to insert above on the "path" line, below libpath.
140906 -
140907 - [This worked per ref SDS 18 line 52.]
140908 -
140909 -

SUBJECTS
Printer
Extra sheet with pcl
1505 - ..
150501 - Asked Adam and Jeff if they have any ideas about why we are
150502 - getting an extra sheet of paper from the printer, per ref SDS 15 line
150503 - 162.
150504 -
150505 - They did not have any suggestions on this point.
150506 -
150507 - [On 940823 got solution. ref SDS 19 0001
