Thank you for downloading the IBM Works CSD Beta 2.

Please read the following carefully before you install this Beta CSD.
This is a Beta release and as such Footprint does not warrant that the
software will be error free.  In no event shall Footprint be liable to you
or any third party for loss of profits, business revenue, failure to realize
expected savings, other commercial or economic loss of any kind whatsoever or
for any indirect, special of consequential damages.

Please run makedsks.cmd in an OS/2 window or makedsks.bat in a DOS window
to create installation disks.

To install this fix put disk 1 in drive A: and type a:\update.  Please note
that you need to shutdown and re-start your machine twice during the process.

If after installing the CSD, you decided to reinstall IBM Works from the
original diskette or CD-ROM and then the CSD, make sure you run IWDEREG.CMD
and reboot before you do that.

The CSD Beta 2 can be installed on top of Beta 1.

If at any point during the installation process you are unable to complete the
install please follow these directions to recover and re-install.  

1) Reboot your machine.  During the boot the letters "OS/2" will appear in the
   top left  corner of your screen, when they appear press ALT-F1.

2) You will then be presented with a screen titled "Recovery Choices".  Press
   C to go to a command line.

3) At the C: prompt change directories to your OS/2 root directory, and then
   to OS2\DLL subdirectory.

4) Do a DIR FPW*.* to list all the IBM Works DLLs.  Your list should be as
   follows:

        FPWCAT.DLL              FPWCH.DLL               FPWCB.DLL
        FPWGR.DLL               FPWPERS.DLL             FPWREC.DLL
        FPWRC.DLL               FPWSS.DLL               FPWWP.DLL

5) Delete all the DLLs - del FPW*.*  and then type exit.

6) Your system will then reboot automatically.

7) Insert disk 1 of the CSD (or disk 1 of your GM version if you would like to
   return to that).  Run the installation again.  You should install smoothly,
   choosing the update option.

8) Reboot upon completion of the installation.

are areas that particularly require testing:  performance improvements when
using documents, interaction between IBM Works and WPS, PIM dialer.
