Martin Iturbide:
Thanks for the feedback Lars. I documented those files.

Hello
I found this demo on some Japanese CDs.
"Magus PageTurner version 1.00.03
Magus PageTurner provides PostScript file viewing and electronic publishing capabilities."
I guess this is a .PS file viewer. I can not make it run. It installs, runs, shows a logo and it hangs the machine. I can not kill it with TOP.
Regards

Hello
I wanted to see how to make this MIDI database to work:
- https://hobbesarchive.com/Home/Download?path=/Hobbes/pub/multimedia/music/midi/collect/mdb_data.zip
It says it works with MIDI DB, and I think it is this one:
- https://hobbesarchive.com/Home/Download?path=/Hobbes/pub/os2/apps/mmedia/sound/players/MIDI_DB_1-3.zip
Sadly I can not make it work. Even that I put PARADISE.SYS it keeps telling me it can not run. "(RC = 3) Can not start MIDI DB."
I don't know if I'm doing it right. Any comments welcome.
Regards

Pretty difficult to diagnose with so little documentation - I'm checking the package, it's from 1997 and there is something about palette managing, which makes me think this is something rather old.
As always, having the source code would be bliss. I don't think the problem is in the drivers, most probably you should check if the database is in the correct format or in the correct path.

The program works without any problems by following the instructions from the accompanying README file. It's important to have a correct environment, including LIBPATH, GS_LIB and GS_FONTPATH.
