  Additions:
  ~~-In EINSTLOC.GPS, make sure that the necessary country and keyboard codes are included in their respective lists. (For SBCS, it should not be necessary to make any changes to this file. For DBCS, countries and keyboards other than those specific to the current NLV should be removed. NOTE: DBCS versions may allow a choice of multiple keyboards, which are often not supported by the ecsInst1_2\COMMON\ECS\INSTALL\KBDMAP.CMD script. If this is the case, you can identify these keyboards using arbitrary names, but you must modify ecsInst1_2\COMMON\ECS\INSTALL\DEFAULT\DEFRSP.CMD to process these names correctly.)

  Creating a New eComStation NLV in CVS

• ecsInst1_2\xx_yy
• ecsInst1_2\SOURCE\xx_yy
• ecsInst1_2\SOURCE\COMMON\GPS\xx
• ecsInst1_2\SOURCE\LIST\xx_yy
• ecsInst1_2\COMMON\ECS\BOOT\DESKTOP\ZZZ
• ecsInst1_2\COMMON\ECS\INSTALL\NLS\xx
• ecsInst1_2\PROGRAM\MEMDISK\BIN\xx

Creating the NLV tree

• Now go through each directory and replace all relevant files with the correct versions (if they exist) from the new NLV language. Language-specific files which lack versions in the new language should be left in their English versions until they can be translated.

• Make sure that (only) the correct language directory (xx) exists under ecsInst1_2\SOURCE\xx_yy\SGUIDE\ECS\SYSTEM\SGUIDE\NLS.

• Also add the file ecsInst1_2\SOURCE\COMMON\GPS\xx\EIPACKAG.GPS by copying it from an existing NLV.

• $SYSINDX.FNT points to the font files used for DBCS text (used in both text and PM sessions). Make sure that it points to the correct path - this will be relative to the memory disk, so the font files should generally be located on the memory disk in order to be found correctly (generally the root directory).
• The file _SYSINDX.FNT is an alternate name for $SYSINDX.FNT apparently designed for FAT compatibility. It should not be included in the boot images.
• Similarly, there are three .FNT files whose names begin with _. These are stripped-down versions of the corresponding full versions (beginning with $) for use in floppy/text only systems. These files must not be included in the boot images - if they exist at all, they will be loaded in preference to the full versions, whether or not they are listed in $SYSINDX.FNT!
• Alternating versions of KBDBASE.SYS (for each selectable keyboard layout) are required in ECSDISK1. These must be obtained from the corresponding packfiles on the DBCS MCP2 CD, usually titled "KBD??" where ?? is the name of the keyboard layout (e.g. 'US', 'AX').

• Set '<ECS_DBCS>' as appropriate.

• Country spinbutton: change '<MISC_LOC_COUNTRY_DEFAULT>' and '<MISC_LOC_CCVALUE_DEFAULT>' to the correct locale values (from the list).

• Keyboard spinbutton: make sure the correct keyboard values are present in the list. (Do NOT increase the number of items in the list.) Then set '<MISC_LOC_COUNTRY_DEFAULT>' and '<MISC_LOC_CCVALUE_DEFAULT>' to those values (they must be identical to the list entries).

• Codepage spinbutton: change '<MISC_LOC_CODEPAGE_DEFAULT>' to the correct locale values (from the list).

• Set '<MISC_LOC_LOCALE>' and '<MISC_LOC_TIMEZONE>' as appropriate per the file comments.

• Set '<MISC_LOC_CHARSET>' to either 'SBCS' or 'DBCS' as appropriate.

• Set '<MISC_LOC_TCPMSG>' and '<MISC_START_INST_LANG>' as appropriate per the file comments.

• Create the subdirectory BOOTIMGS. Copy the file README.TXT from another NLV to this directory.

• Copy the following directories and all their contents (including subdirectories) from the MCP2 CD-ROM:
  • CID\DLL
  • CID\EXE (except for SEINST.EXE)
  • CID\LOCINSTU
  • CID\SERVER (except for the JAVA131 subdirectory)
  • CID\SRVIFS
  • CID\WINDOWS
  • OS2IMAGE

• Create the subdirectory DISKIMGS and copy IMAGE.EXE and LOADDSKF.EXE from the same directory on the MCP2 CD-ROM. Copy SELECT.COM and SELECT.EXE from another NLV.

• Examine CID\EXE\OS2\SAMPLE.RSP on the MCP2 CD-ROM to see if there are any response file options specific to this NLV.

• Copy the ECS directory tree from another NLV. Replace any files that have versions available in the new NLV. Remember to delete all 'CVS' subdirectories.

• Adjust the INI file templates in ECS\INSTALL\DESKTOP with any specific entries required by the new NLV. Pay particular attention to the 'PM_National' entries in INI.RC, as well as to those referring to DBCS-specific fonts and other items (which should be copied from the INI.RC file from an MCP2 system of that DBCS language).

• Edit the file ecsInst1_2\SOURCE\xx_yy\OS2CSM\CONFIG.BRN and set the value for <DESKTOP_BUILD_SUBDIR> to ZZZ (the NLV country code).

• The MPTS files under CID\SERVER\MPTS need updating. Under the the IBMGSK* directories (there are three), rename the COPYRI~1.TXT files to COPYRT.TXT.
  Delete the files MPTN\PROTOCOL\MPROT2.ZIP and IBMCOM\MACS\MACS.ZIP (as these are taken from the COMMON tree).
  Modify the file MPTN\BIN\BIN.ZIP by adding the LLAECS.EXE program. Make sure the modified ZIP file is compatible with the old version of PKUNZIP2 used by the MPTS installer. (The old zip program can be found under \program\bin\infozip1.exe in the CVS root)

• The IBM installer needs to be patched:
  • Copy LFM.DLL from another NLV to OS2IMAGE\DISK_6
  • Patch CID\EXE\OS2\RSPINST.EXE (e.g. using a hex editor) and replace the string 'disk_6\lvm.dll' with 'disk_6\lfm.dll'
  • Rename DISK_3\CHKINST.EXE to CHKINST2.EXE, and copy CHKINST.INI and CHKINST.EXE to this directory from another NLV.

• Convert all directory names to uppercase. You can use "case -dur" if you have case.exe installed.

• Delete the following files from the OS2IMAGE directory tree (as they already exist under the COMMON tree):
  • OS2IMAGE\FI\SYSMGT\OS2\INSTALL\*
  • OS2IMAGE\FI\SYSMGT\OS2\PDPSI\PMDF\kernel.sdf

• You need to determine exactly what files required for the bootable CD system must reside on the CD itself, and where. (These are generally the same for all SBCS versions, but each DBCS version may have a number of differences.) The list of targets at the top of Makefile.OS2 must include all these files.

• You also need to determine exactly where in the OS2IMAGE tree (i.e. DISK_* subdirectory and packfile name) each file can be found. Then update the make instructions to extract/copy each file to the necessary location in the CD structure.

• For DBCS versions, make sure the directory OS2\SYSDATA is specified in DIRLIST.LST (the list of work tree directories to create). This is required in order for many vital DBCS files to be copied.

• Populate the ecsInst1_2\COMMON\ECS\INSTALL\NLS\xx directory by copying the contents of one of the other language subdirectories.

• Make the following changes to these files:
  • In EISTART.GPS, make sure that the lone uncommented language listed under the Data = LANGUAGE section is the appropriate one for this NLV (add it if necessary).
  • In EINSTLOC.GPS, make sure that the necessary country and keyboard codes are included in their respective lists. (For SBCS, it should not be necessary to make any changes to this file. For DBCS, countries and keyboards other than those specific to the current NLV should be removed.)
  • In EIENDPH1.GPS and EIENDPH2.GPS, change the two-letter language code passed to PATHSED.CMD to the correct (xx) value.
  • In RIENDPH0.GPS, RIENDPH1.GPS, and RIENDPH2.GPS, change the two letter language code passed to NETPATH.CMD and MKSTART.CMD to the correct (xx) value.

Building

• Boot hangs when loading CDFS.IFS. Edit the CONFIG.SYS template for OS2CSM and try removing the /Q switch from CDFS.IFS (this problem generally affects DBCS versions).
• TRAP in PMDD right before Presentation Manager starts. Make sure that the build process is successfully copying all the SNAP files (it may fail if SNAP uses a different two-letter language code for the NLV-specific files).
• Hang immediately after PM starts on DBCS versions. This generally indicates that KBDBASE.SYS is out of synch with the CODEPAGE and/or DEVINFO values. Make sure that the correct KBDBASE.SYS is on the memory disk for the codepage and keyboard in question. (Remember that DBCS versions must use the correct keyboard value for the DEVINFO=KBD statement.)

Other Tasks

• Extract the contents of the following packed files from the EN_US NLV, except for JFS.MSG and JFSH.MSG:
  ecsinst1_2\EN_US\OS2IMAGE\DISK_22\JFS
  ecsinst1_2\EN_US\OS2IMAGE\DISK_21\JFS
  ecsinst1_2\EN_US\OS2IMAGE\DISK_20\JFS

• Locate the packed file (or files) named 'JFS' under the NLV OS2IMAGE tree. Replace all of the files inside with the corresponding files extracted from English, above.
