                           -COMPLINE-

A RAR(32bit)/HPFS archiver and defragger
for OS/2 and eCS systems.

VERSION:
This is ver 4.0.1 a refresh to use the
latest RAR32 switches and SET RAR=' '
config.sys command.


INSTALLATION:
Rexx must be installed on your system
and your drives should be in HPFS format.

Expand the zip file in a temporary directory.
It contains a self-expanding executable file
which includes Install.exe and this readme 
file. 

Run the installation program (Install.exe). 
It will create the Compline folder and some 
program objects, and create the needed 
directory. Rexxlib.dll, emx.dll and wptools.dll 
are set to be added to any libpath file (but 
generally x:\os2\dll..however, you can place 
them in a temporary directory and move them
to /os2/dll after checking if you wish) and 
a small bitmap is added to x:\os2\bitmap. 
There are no changes to config.sys or any ini 
entries. 

I keep Compline installed on a Maintenance  
drive and on a Programs drive with program 
objects on both Main and Maintenance desktops. 
This obviates the problem of locked files.
Ensure that COMPLINE,RAR and ZIP files are 
pathed and that the RAR executable file is 
named RAR32.EXE not RAR.EXE. The switches
I use for RAR are current ones, so check 
your RAR version. They may be altered by 
a line in your config.sys, for example: 
  SET RAR='-idq -m6'

RAR is not freeware but a demo version is 
availableat http://www.rarsoft.com.
