Hi,
Good Ideas, but I would also add anywhere, to your config.sys:-

SET desktop= 3D<Your Boot Drive Letter:>\DESKTOP
ie in MY case it is =

SET desktop= 3DD:\DESKTOP

This can't do any harm and might just help as well.

Actually, in the end this entry would do (much of) harm. This entry is meant for when
the desktop has lost his ID, in order to recover/restore the desktop and the desktop
ID. [need Unimaint or a simple *.cmd file to accomplish that].

When the entry SET desktop=D:\DESKTOP remains in the config, and the desktop ID is
lost or some other oddity has occured, you'll never be aware of it until it's far to
late.

Bottom line: this entry has to be used when the desktop has lost his ID, only then and
*only to recover/restore* your precious Desktop. After the recover, the entry has to
be deleted.

Subject: Re: [os2genau] Mozilla and Java

Hi Steve,
   There's a very similar thread running on warpbrowsersatyahoogroups dot com 
at the moment and it's come up time and time again, so perhaps someone
(preferably not me) should fully document this.

   There are many versions of Mozilla/2 aka Warpzilla. Versions 0.6x
0.8x and 0.9x
being the most commonly used. 0.6x is the version that the current IBM
Browser
is based and is roughly equivalent to Netscape 5 for Windows. Versions
0.8x and
0.9x (0.92 being the very latest) are equivalent to Netscape 6.

   The IBM Browser is based on Mozilla 0.6x but has had additions such
as support
for security extentions,  Flash support and (importantly) links to Java
1.3.

   None of the versions simply go to the OS for Java Support as
Netscape/2 2.02,
4.04 and 4.61 do. You have to have plugins added in to do this. Using
the IBM 
Browser this is part of the install (although I seem to remember when I
installed
it didn't work 100% and I had to do a minor change). As I said the IBM
Browser
works with Java 1.3 (as well as 1.18 I think). The basic Mozilla/2
builds only
worked with Java 1.18 although this may have changed in the 0.9x
versions.

You need to have the following plugins installed to get Java to work:

NPNULOS2.DLL - This is to stop the you need the plugin loader plugin 
messages.

NPJAVA.DLL - This is the one used with the IBM Browser for JAVA 1.3,
I don't know what the equivalent would be for the basic Mozilla/2 or for
JAVA 1.18

If you want to install fixpacks etc. directly from the Web (and you have 
a broadband connection or lots of time) then you'll also need NPFI.DLL
for the feature installer.

Hope all this helps.

I've just realised that since installing the latest Mozilla/2 version
I've
also lost Java support, so I guess I'l have to start configuring again
or
I might simply stay with the IBM Browser.

Cheers/2

I use a Ricoh MP7083A-NP 8x8x32 drive also cost about $270 but 
I have to say I've only once used it as CD-RW (as opposed to just

Does CDRecord/2 handle CD/RW ??

Subject: Re: [os2genau] SET desktop= was:- Lost desktop after a trap e

Hi Kris,
Actually, I disagree that " SET desktop=D:\DESKTOP" is harmfull.

After losing my desktop 3 years ago, I waded thru the newsgroups and 
found similar problems. The fix was as above and with the aid of a CMD file
(as you said) to fix the Desktop ID problem and later running WPTOOLS, 
also UNIMAINT, to ensure full health of the os2 INI files.

The concensus at the time was that the statement only reinforces what is 
the default in the os2.ini file and can do no harm.

I regularly use UNIMAINT and WPTOOLS and have never lost the DESKTOP ID since.
I am still running  SET desktop=D:\DESKTOP and have been for more than 2 years.

Somewhere I had a file with an IBM'er saying that  SET desktop=D:\DESKTOP
should be in all os2 Config.sys files.
If I can find it again, I will post it.

Could you state who says it is harmfull.?
Any documentation we can D/L or view online.?

Over to you.
BobT.

Hi Steve

Make sure your have the following in config.sys

SET INCLUDE=C:\JAVA13\INCLUDE;
SET LIB=C:\JAVA13\LIB;
REM SET LIB=C:\JAVA11\LIB;  <= old one

LIBPATH=C:\mozilla;.;C:\OS2\DLL;C:\NETSCAPE\PROGRAM;C:\NETSCAPE;C:\;C:\JAV
A13\JRE\DLL;C:\JAVA11\DLL;C:\MMOS2\DLL;

SET 
PATH=C:\mozilla;.;C:\MPTN\BIN;C:\IBMCOM;C:\NETSCAPE\PROGRAM;C:\OS2;C:\NET
SCAPE;C:\;C:\OS2\APPS;C:\TCPIP\BIN;C:\JAVA13\BIN;C:\JAVA11\BIN;C:\MMOS2;

SET HELP=C:\MPTN;C:\NETSCAPE;C:\OS2\HELP;

SET 
CLASSPATH=C:\IBMGSK\CLASSES\SRIP.JAR;C:\IBMGSK\CLASSES\SGUIDE.ZIP;C:\IB
MGSK\CLASSES\CSSGKEY.JAR;C:\java11\lib\classes.zip;.\.;C:\OS2\JAVAAPPS\LVMGUI.Z
IP;C:\TCPIP\java;

SET MOZILLA_HOME=C:\mozilla


The important part is the order of the JAVA and classpath directories, I've left
a lot of my extra directories out to make it easier to see what comes before
what. I also use both Netscape v4.61 and IBM's Mozilla, so Mozilla needs
to be in front of the Netscape enters, Netscape can still find the right
files to use, as can Mozilla.

Why do you say it's an SDD problem? Looks to me more like your ini files are going the
bad way.

IMHO time for Unimaint ( or checkini, the poor man's Unimaint).

Anyway, what version of SS are you running?

 ... and why not join the Smartsuite-OS2 mailing list?

And remove the set desktop= statement afterwards.

Maybe I made myself not clear enough, so, I say again:  leaving the entry for ever in the
config is dangerous, as you won't be aware of ini file problems unless it's to late.

After the fix has been done, the entry has to be removed, it's that what I'm saying.

I presume you haven't much of deep nested folders.

Please do.


> Could you state who says it is harmfull.?

As long as the desktop ID isn't lost, there will be no harm.

When due to some uncertain reason the desktop-id  gets lost, you won't be aware of it, due
to the set desktop= statement.

However, after 1 at 2 months you'll notice your objects begin to disappear one after
another. And at that stage no recovery is possible, unless you do have  Unimaint made
desktop backups.

To say again, the set desktop= statement is in no way responsable for a lost desktop ID. It
may just cover the problem unduly.
