Hi,

If you've ordered an EDM/2 CD and the html links do not work, the CD is not
'busted' and yes we checked it before we sent it.  ;-)     The CD was originally
intended to appeal to OS/2 developers who would know the 'secret' of how
to make OS/2 recognize the file format the CD is in but I clearly misjudged 
the wide appeal of the CD and in hindsight should have inserted a sheet on
how to add support to read files in Joliet format.  

FP 5 introduced this capability and *FINALLY* we can get away from
the 8.3 file format when we're making CD's.    You haven't lived until
you try to make an OS/2 CD and work with an 8.3 file format structure. ;-)

I apologize to everyone who ran into this -  my bust.   Hopefully the 
inconvenience is offset somewhat by getting to learn something new
about your system and it's something that would come up sooner
or later - might as well be sooner and I'm sure glad it's with us.   Thanks
for your support!

Here's how to add Joliet support to your OS/2 system.  I'm not a guru
on this, but it works.   For more info go to www.dejanews.com and search
for "OS/2 and joliet".

=======================================================

To read the EDM/2 CD (or any CD with files in Joliet format) you must:

1.  Install Fixpak 5 or higher.

2.  Look for this line in your config.sys file:

IFS=D:\OS2\BOOT\CDFS.IFS /Q    (of course the drive letter might be 
different on your system.)

3.  Add a new switch:  /W  so you now have:  IFS=D:\OS2\BOOT\CDFS.IFS /W /Q

4.  Reboot
