Hi

I found a backup of the mailing list here:
news://news.gmane.io/gmane.org.netlabs.4os2.user
(I'm opening it with Thunderbird)

Last message is from 2014. I can not post anything else there, I guess it is read only. I haven't used a Newsgroup reader in years.

Regards

Hi

Please check how http://trac.netlabs.org/4os2/wiki looks now.
I'm open to suggestions.

Andi B. Is it possible to sync your bitbucket code with Stevens Github, or both development took different routes and it is not possible?

Regards

Hi Guys

I have a question about the mailing list. Are those working? There are so many links, some dead and I don't know if Netlabs email mailing list is working.

1) I sent an email to 4os2-user-subscribe@netlabs.org to subscribe, no reply yet.
-- I guess this is the EzMLM mailing list for it.

2) It says 4OS2 mailing list is mirrored to Gmane. http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.org.netlabs.4os2.user
I can not access it. (Time out)

Does the mailing list works? Is there any way to access those mailing list history?

Regards

Hi

I splitted the topic just to focus on 4OS2. I updated the SVN description (not source code) on netlabs.

Long time ago I copied most of the data on the "Single Websites CMS" (like http://4os2.netlabs.org) to the SVN wiki on several project, and the projects that didn't have SVN because were too old I copied it to the wiki.netlabs.org. This is in favor that someday Netlabs may discontinue the CMS since it does not update it anymore and TRAC and MediaWiki has more defined update path.

Andi B, if you still have access to edit the http://4os2.netlabs.org web page I would recommend to link users to http://trac.netlabs.org/4os2 and try to consolidate everything there.

Hi
I have been reading most of this stuff. I keep thinking "Here we go again. a newbie trying to tell us old timers how to use OS/2".
...and that's in part why we don't have newbies.

I want to insist that we have different kind of users, the ones that runs ArcaOS and OS/2 on VMs, the ones that runs it on bare metal and the ones that enjoy both !! There is even OS/2 users that only want it to run his old Microchannel computer as a hobbie.

If someone is using ArcaOS or OS/2 for something I don't share or understand, I don't have any right to judge. I can only share an opinon and let that person be. I don't have to insist on my point of view or have the final word.  I just move on to the next thread.

Hi Martin,

But Dooble does not render any page for me. If I put an file URL it will download it fine. It looks on the browser like it is loading but nothing shows or happens.
Any other log I can take? or something I may be missing?
I've seen this sporadically too - but certainly not on all pages. I'd make sure you're on a reasonably fresh boot - and also can you confirm what VIRTUALADDRESSLIMIT is set to?

Hi Paul.

I had changed to VIRTUALADDRESSLIMIT=2560 and also (just in case) deleted the .dooble folder (I didn't anything vital there).

Now Dooble render and OS2World is showing up. But the browser is not stable and crashes after a while of loading OS2World.com.

I got this on the command line:

Nothing on POPUPLOG.OS2. I don't know what other log or report I can generate, I'm open to suggestions.

Hi
I tried Qt6 (with qt6webee-20230112.zip) and Dooble.

As Dave suggested

First:
 highmem -c qt6*dll
Then:
 set PATH=C:\qt6\bin;%PATH%
 set BEGINLIBPATH=c:\qt6\lib
 dooble

Dooble loads with the reported issues:
- Menus are not located correctly.
- Error on dooble loading:

General Discussion / Re: OS/2 - Possibilities (Use Cases)
« on: January 12, 2023, 08:26:10 pm »
Hi JTA.

I don't have any more "use cases", I understand that this idea is with the goal to have a better way to communicate, so we can understand faster the environment of the user and try to help him faster.

I had experienced some issues, for example, when someone post that something is not working on the browser and I don't even get which browser is he/she using.

I can not force community members to have more structure on their request (of course), but I had found very useful to ask them to publish the "testlog" log file. Have you seen that kind of log? But this works when the having an issue with OS/2, instead of "how to" information requests.

Gregg, Andi B, Dave

Can we agree that the latest open source version of 4OS2 is:
- Binary: https://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/os2/util/shell/4os2_3.11.GKY.exe (2022/01/22)
- Source: https://github.com/StevenLevine/4os2

If so, I can update the http://trac.netlabs.org/4os2 wiki page pointing to that resources.

But when I asked "Where is OS/2 source code?" it replied:
Quote
The source code for OS/2 is not publicly available by default. OS/2 was originally developed by IBM and Microsoft as a proprietary operating system, meaning that the source code was not made available to the public.

However, in 2001, IBM released the source code for a version of OS/2 called "Warp 4" under an open source license called the Common Public License (CPL). This made it possible for developers to access the source code and modify it as they saw fit, as long as they followed the terms of the CPL.

If you are interested in obtaining a copy of the OS/2 source code, you can try searching online for repositories or archives that contain the source code for Warp 4 or a later version of OS/2. You may also be able to find copies of the source code on forums or discussion boards for OS/2 enthusiasts.

Keep in mind that the source code for OS/2 is copyrighted and is subject to the terms of the CPL. You may need to obtain permission from IBM or other copyright holders if you want to modify or distribute the source code.

Even that I want it to be real, I guess it is wrong. But I wonder what is confusing OpenAI to think that Warp 4 was released under the CPL license?

Today I found it the OpenAI got partially corrected.

where did you find that Warp 4 was released under the CPL license?

Quote
I apologize for any confusion - I misspoke earlier. The IBM OS/2 Warp 4 operating system was actually released under a proprietary license and was not available under the Common Public License (CPL). IBM did open source some parts of OS/2, but it wasn't the entire OS and didn't happen at the same time of Warp 4 release. IBM has also ended support for OS/2 in December 2006 and development was halted.

It's possible that there may be some open source projects or forks of OS/2 that have been released under the CPL or other open source licenses, but these would be separate and distinct from the official IBM release of OS/2 Warp 4.

If you are looking for a version of OS/2 that is available under an open-source license, you can look for projects like eComStation or ArcaOS, these are modern versions of OS/2 and available for purchase, but their license may be different than the CPL

Again, I apologize for any confusion caused, and please let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi JTA

Maybe it would be nice if you can produce some video and post it in some place like YouTube. Looks too me that maybe you can show in a better your virtualization strategy in a video format recording the screens.

You did it Paul. This is an important milestone and thanks a lot.

Now came my silly question. I want to be brave and try it, but how should it be installed?
I checked the "qt6-6.2.4-os2-20230108.zip" file and I tried to located the bin on /usr/bin, the lib on /usr/lib. Where should I locate the rest?
Is that a good way to try it out, or should I locate all the Qt6 somewhere and add the paths and libpaths on config.sys?

How to mark the DLL's high with highmem.exe? Is it as simple as "highmem qt6*.dll" ?


Don't forget, you can sponsor further development at https://github.com/sponsors/psmedley or https://www.arcanoae.com/shop/os2-ports-paul-smedley

Please sponsor Paul, this is an important milestone.

Hi

I think I can agree with SoundChaser.

Even if we can discuss and even agree on which tools and libraries to use, it should be wrote down somewhere. And since Arca Noae is the company selling ArcaOS, they have some authority to post the documentation and suggest things about ArcaOS modern development.

For example, for me is obvious that bww Libc should be used instead of EMX, but where is documented that?
It is not like forcing developers to use something, but to document a suggested standard of developent tools.

Hi SoundChaser

There should be a single 'awesome ArcaOS' git(Hub,lab) with everything you need to get up to speed with a tested stable development kit. That means OpenWatcom 1.9 and gccand all the environment scripts sorted out and standardized, a modern editor... and I know someone can take a few hours to set up by themselves. Bullshit. It's just yack shaving and non-productive. I want Suntan Special for developers.

I take these words like some kind of "ArcaOS Developer Kit" should exist. Not matter if it is on github, or any other place.
An idea to combine development tools, compilers,  libraries and source code samples in one single package. Like some kind of OS/2 Toolkit and IBM Device Driver Development Kit, but trying to bring to 2023 for the ArcaOS platform.
