Henk Kelder Updates
WPTOOLS to V. 2.5
Programmer Henk Kelder updates his famous WPTOOLS to version 2.5 and Brady Jarvis uploads
it today September 07 on Hobbes. The file is
wptool25.zip
(299.88Kb). Replaces: wptool21.zip. WPTOOLS is a collection of OS/2 2+ specific
tools. and you can download the bundle from Kelder's Home Page, at: http://www.os2ss.com/information/kelder/
WPTOOLS is a set of programs intended for the 'more experienced'
Workplace
shell users. With these programs one can (partially) backup and restore a customized
workplace shell, remove obsolete workplace shell related information from the ini-files,
repair some wps problems, etc. Also, one can from a REXX program quiry object parameters
using WPTOOLS.DLL.
WPTOOLS is Freeware. You can use it freely. If you however think that a
donation is in place please send a cheque to:

Some tools in the archive are:
CHECKINI - Checks
Workplace shell related stuff in the OS2.INI and OS2SYS.INI, mainly intended to
keep the INI-Filesclean and (relatively small) and thus have the best performance
while using the workplace Shell;
WPSBKP - Make a
backup of most workplace shell objects in a text file. This text file can be used
to restore a customized workplace shell after the desktop has be reinstalled or
to port parts to another machine;
WPSREST - Restores
a backup made with WPSBKP;
RESETWPS - Resets
the worksplace shell without rebooting;
WPTOOLS.DLL - A
dynamic link library that, amongst other things, can be used from REXX to query
object settings. This DLL is also used by WPSBKP to query object settings. As far
as I know this is the only tool in the world to query setupstrings.
New in this release:
CHECKINI slightly modified; I noticed
that the WarpCenter creates orphan objects in the Nowhere folder whenever a tray
is deleted. CHECKINI now detects and removes the orphan objects.
WPTOOLS.DLL slightly modified.
