This list may sound a bit intimidating, but the process is usually easier

than it looks like at first sight. Of course if you run into trouble we are

glad to help you complete the adoption process. For the process you

will need the following programs: The program you want to adopt, or a

fully functional demo version; Object Desktop (or its trial version);

Graphical File Compare. If you don't already have Object Desktop or

Graphical File Compare you can find links to download (trial) versions at

the end of the section. Before you start adopting a program you should

verify that the program isn't already adopted by someone else, and

state your intention to adopt the program by registering the program for

adoption. You can do this on the special adoption website. The

information for the general section of the adoption program can usually

be extracted from the manual or readme's included with a program. For

this section it is especially important that you verify that you use the

latest version available, and that you clearly identify the version you

use.

To complete the information about the installation process there is a

special procedure which makes it easier to get the correct information,

this procedure consists of the following steps:

1. Install Object Desktop (only Object Package is needed) and

Graphical File Compare

2. Make a copy of your config.sys and startup.cmd

3. Install the program you want to adopt

4. Use Graphical File Compare to find the changes in your

config.sys and startup.cmd, and save these changes to a file.

5. Create a Object Package of the program folder or objects on you

desktop

6. Save the Object Package as a REXX script and save the resources

(icons/background bitmaps) too.

7. Zip up the REXX script and the resources

These seven steps provide you with all the information about

config.sys changes, startup.cmd changes and desktop object

creation. Usually we can extract the information to create the desktop

object removal script from the desktop object creation script, so you do

not have to worry about that.

To compose the list of files to which read/write access is needed is

usually a bit more complicated, but normally the files to which read/write

access is needed are only the configuration files and data files. To

identify them you should consult the documentation included with the

program or have a look at the directory listings. Common filename

extensions for configuration files are .cfg, .ini, .conf, .dat. It is

Chapter 5: Getting Involved 29

important to verify is whether a program needs access to the central

OS/2 ini files, usually named os2.ini and os2sys.ini. To verify that

you could inspect these files with the Registry Editor, which you can find

in the System Setup folder. If you can not get a comprehensive list it

might be necessary to contact the author of the program or use a

special sniffer daemon.

When you have gathered all the information you bundle everything in a

zip file, and upload it to the adoption program ftp site. If the program you

adopted is free for distribution you can include the installed version of

the program also, if it is a commercial program, or distribution is

inhibited in any other way you should only upload the information files

and the files created with Object Package.

Some time after you uploaded the information you will receive a

preliminary version of the WiseMachine deployment scripts for you

adoption. You are kindly asked to test this script, and report back the

results. When you find everything to work properly the WiseMachine

scripts are ready for release and will be placed on the eComStation

website, or will be included in a WiseMachine update.
