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.

** 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 (OOoWPS100.wpi).

Please note that WarpIn 1.0.15 or higher is required.
You can download the latest WarpIn package from http://warpin.netlabs.org

[ 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.

** Known issues **

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

** Support **
