	Workplace Shell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Workplace Shell (WPS) is an award-winning object-oriented desktop shell produced by IBM's Boca Raton development lab for OS/2 2.0.
		The Workplace Shell was also used in OS/2 Warp 3 and Warp 4 (now abandoned by IBM), and is still the user interface of the revamped successor to OS/2 called eComStation of Serenity Inc.
		Although mostly written in C, under the covers the Workplace Shell is implemented as an object-oriented class library, basing on the System Object Model (SOM).

	Object Desktop 2.0
		Each Workplace Shell object is managed by an OS/2 System Object Model (SOM) class which is responsible for providing the behavior of the object as it is seen on the OS/2 Desktop.
		Each class is invoked by the Workplace Shell via a class name and files containing executable code that provides the class behavior resides in one or dynamic link libraries (DLLs).
		Workplace Shell objects are essentially DLLs, and hence the LIBPATH statement may need to be updated in order to enable use of some Workplace Shell classes.

		The parent class for the newly generated object class is specified in the SOM IDL file, which, in the case of Workplace Shell objects, is one of the preexisting classes defined by the default OS/2 Workplace Shell.
		Although there are several object types in the Workplace Shell (see the figure), there are several reasons for using the WPFolder class as a parent class.
		Because of this capability, Workplace Shell developers enjoy receiving new features for free as versions of the OS are released with changes to base classes.

		The Workplace Shell is an icon driven graphical environment implementing IBM's common user access (CUA) '91 standard, part of a set of standards designed to facilitate a consistent user interface in applications across different platforms and OSes.
		This is the Workplace Shell as it appears by default.
		Some notable differences between the Workplace Shell and the Macintosh include the extensive use of both mouse buttons (buttons "1" and "2" as they are referred to) and the use of "pop-up" menus as the primary way to perform many functions.

		Workplace safety and environmental care are integrated objectives.
		Shell has adopted a system of enhanced safety management to raise workplace safety in which line managers are fully accountable for performance.
		Shell's approach to safety management is to put in place a structured system which includes: clear safety policy that leads to the setting of achievable goals; an integrated way of thinking about the processes that disrupt safe operations; a set of instruments to measure performance and enable continuous improvement.

		For many OS/2 users the WPS (Workplace Shell) is the only operating environment they know, or more to the point, the only environment they need.
		While a replacement shell offers a smooth operating environment by being less demanding on your hardware, what you can do in your shell is likely to be limited.
		Not only is the act of using a replacement shell secure (since the new shell is likely to be limited) but some shells, such as FileBar (see next page), also include security features that affect the shell and the applications themselves.

	Workplace Shell for Windows
		The Workplace Shell for Windows is a piece of freeware written by IBM employees that attempts to duplicate the OS/2 Workplace Shell on Windows 3.1.
		A very cool feature of the Workplace Shell is the ability to set the background of each folder to a custom color or graphic.
		The file management in Workplace Shell for Windows is vaguely usable but it seems incomplete in places.

	An Argument for OS/2 Exploitation
		It is a great advance beyond a command- line shell or even an ordinary windowing interface because it provides a set of tools and methods that, when used in a consistent and meaningful way, make getting tasks done easier.
		The most common and pervasive example of drag-and-drop within the Shell is coping or moving files from one place to another.
		The Workplace Shell is an incredibly customizable beast from the perspective of how people use it to "glue" their desktop together.

	Workplace Security
		Workplace Security provides password controlled access to protect your desktop objects from being deleted, renamed, moved, copied, dragged, or from receiving dropped objects.
		Workplace Security prevents locked objects from being opened or having their settings changed without entering the correct password.
		After installing Workplace Security a new "Password" page is seamlessly added to the settings notebook for every "folder" and "program" object on your desktop, including the desktop settings notebook.

		The WorkPlace Shell is just one of several "chassis" that can be used to let you drive that engine.
		For the alternative shells, an orderly shutdown is less necessary though, because there are no WorkPlace Shell objects to manage and you won't be doing much disk-caching.
		With the WorkPlace Shell all your DOS settings are managed from the Settings notebook for an application's Program Object.

		It is brilliant design, combining an object oriented desktop with a class library built on SOM, that (theoretically) allows an application written in any language to sub-class desktop objects for use in the application, even to the extent of modifying the behavior of the desktop itself.
		The intent was that the Workplace Shell, along with the new (for version 2.0) Presentation Manager components, would become the application framework that developers used to build new OS/2 applications.

	VOICE Newsletter 09/2004 - Ini file management
		Unfortunately, one of OS/2's few weaknesses is in the Workplace Shell's handling of its ini files (os2.ini and os2sys.ini).
		Because many of the Workplace Shell features like Program Objects, Printer Objects, FTP-PM Objects, desktop layout and more, are kept in the os2*.ini files, changes to these are lost at the end of the session.
		That is inconvenient for systems which make frequent changes to the Workplace Shell or system configuration, so this technique is not appropriate for those systems.

	Overview of the OS/2 Operating System
		In looking at how the Workplace Shell is implemented, it is useful to separate the shell from the underlying workplace facilities, since the same facilities are needed by both the shell and by all applications which run under the shell.
		The Workplace Shell avoids this requirement by allowing a developer to register a small object which understands all the capabilities of the application, and can call the relevant parts of the main application when required.
		The Workplace Shell implements the standard PM Print rendering mechanism(DRM_PRINT); after a successful drop, the source icon is sent a "DM_PRINTOBJECT" message with the name of the relevant print queue as one of its parameters.

	netlabs.org: Workplace Shell Toolkit
		The Workplace Shell has by far the most innovative and extendible interface of all computer GUIs around.
		Even when someone has got this knowledge, coding certain functionality that a Workplace Shell class either should or must have, is most often a very time consuming task.
		Beside giving you a lot of little helper functions, the API of the Workplace Shell Toolkit encapsulates the complexity of the handling of some of the tasks being most time consuming to code.

		One of OS/2's standout features is the Workplace Shell, IBM's replacement for the Program Manager/File Manager combination found in Windows.
		To abuse once again an already tired buzzword, the WorkPlace Shell is object-oriented; to the user it appears rather like the Macintosh Finder: files, directories, and applications are objects that can be manipulated directly.
		Yes, the Shell allows better "shadowing" or "aliasing" of documents than the Win95 Explorer (at least as of press time), but that has absolutely nothing to do with OLE.
