++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: Joachims Benjamins <joachimDESPAM at DESPAMmensys.nl>

Serenity Systems International and Mensys BV are pleased to announce the 
availability of the WPS integration package for OpenOffice.org 2.0 for 
eComStation and OS/2, version 1.0.1.

This package is available to all subcribers of the OpenOffice.org for 
eComStation and OS/2 Support Agreement, via their login at the Mensys 
online shop (under Your Downloads -> Support Agreement for OpenOffice.org)

** Features **

- Extends the WPS data file class to recognize OpenOffice.org document files
- Integrated support for WPS-Wizard hint and folder info area
- Rexx hooks for reading document properties

** Installation **

The package is provided as a WarpIn package. Installation is performed by a 
double click on the base WPI file (OOoWPS101.wpi).

Please note that WarpIn 1.0.15 or higher is required.
You can download the latest WarpIn package from the download directory 
under your Mensys account.

[ WPS data file class ]

The WPS classes do not require OpenOffice.org to be installed to allow
displaying of properties and preview thumbnail.

OpenOffice.org for eComstation and OS/2 must be installed to allow
drag'n'drop printing and opening of files. Use of the OpenOffice.org
quickstart feature allows faster printing and opening, otherwise a new
instance of the OpenOffice.org binaries will be invoked.

[ WPS-Wizard support ]

If you have installed WPS-Wizard (see below) please select the main
WPS-Wizard installation directory, otherwise scripts cannot be placed in
the proper place.

WPS-Wizard official homepage: http://www.os2world.com/cdwriting/
WPS-Wizard latest info: http://svn.netlabs.org/wps-wizard/

[ REXX hooks ]

See the WPS-Wizard scripts for a sample use of rexx hooks.

[ Whats new in version 1.0.1 ]

- Installation now properly detects and installs regardless of
when OpenOffice.org is or is not available on the system.
- This enables proper Drag and Drop printing and opening of documents
(when a valid installation is found)
- REXX scripts require full path to ooodoc.dll, fixed

** Known issues **

- Objects do not show 'in use' status when opened.

** Support **

Support specific to the eComStation and OS/2 version can be obtained
through the ticketing system at: http://www.ecomstation.com/support/ooo2/

If you find any bugs, issues, or have other remarks, please provide as many 
details as possible and attach the soffice.log file created at every OOo2 
crash: this file is located into your OpenOffice.org.2.0\program\ directory.

A newsgroup is available for community support at:
