 ReadMe file for NVU-1.0 for OS/2
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I compiled NVU for OS/2 using the official NVU-1.0 source using a small set
of patches, a .mozconfig, and a few OS/2 icons as contained in the src.os2.zip
file. Additionally, for the compiling process to run through, the file
mozilla\security\nss\cmd\sign.cmd had to be converted from Unix to DOS format
linebreaks.

To improve the OS/2 version I made these little changes:
- Slightly changed the build process to add an icon to the nvu.exe file and
  to add an icon to the system menu.
- Stripped EXE and DLLs using lxLite (Mozilla bug #296138)
- Added full support for external apps, to call e.g. Firefox from NVU for the
  Help menu items. Get ConfigApps 1.1.1 or later from Hobbes
  <http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?key=configapps1_1>
  to set it up for different internet apps. The patch for this comes from 
  bug 254320.
- Fixes to Drag and Drop handling by Rich Walsh (Mozilla bugs 280063 and 
  260068)
- Fix to let NVU be nice to multimedia apps (bug 277514). Add
     set NSPR_OS2_NO_HIRES_TIMER=1
  to your environment to use this.
+ all the above changes are packed into diffs.zip and added to the distribution
- Added this ReadMe file by hand.
- Removed "bloat" from the distribution, i.e. files that don't get used.
- Packed all components\*.xpt files into one components\nvu.xpt

To run NVU, you need to _install_ (not just unpack) the Innotek GCC Runtime 
libraries version 0.5.1 from
<http://www.innotek.de/products/gccos2/download/gccos2download_e.html>.

To use NVU, drag the EXE file to the desktop creating a program object.
It is more difficult, if you want to have it running at the same time as 
other Mozilla applications. Then you need to
a) use Run! <http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?key=run!>.
b) create a program object to start it from a CMD file containing lines 
   like this
    SET LIBPATHSTRICT=T
    rem the following may only needed if another Mozilla based app is in LIBPATH
    rem SET BEGINLIBPATH=<nvu_directory>
    SET MOZILLA_HOME=<profile_path>
    <nvu_directory>\nvu.exe
or
c) add similar parameters to a program object for cmd.exe.
