Lotus SmartSuite 4 on WinOS/2

[Andy Willis]

Vcompat seems to work with other apps the others do not work with, though I have not tried Win 3.1 Smartsuite.

Hello Andy

VCOMPAT helped here. (I guess). I installed it on the config.sys without any special thing.

I run WinOS2 Full screen and Lotus installer (install.exe) worked fine. It copied the files and created icons. The installer gave me some errors at the end, but it worked.
I installed it on a JFS partition by the way.

Same here. vCompat did the trick.

The one small note: https://en.ecomstation.ru/personal/kiewitzsoft/vdd-vcompat.php has v0.32b of vCompat; https://ecsoft2.org/vcompat has v0.35b.

BTW (sheer curiosity), when did Martin Kiewitz stop coding for OS/2 / eCS / ArcaOS ? Let's thank him for vCompat that proves useful many years after its "final" version.

Hello

As far as I know the source code of VCOMPAT is available here:
https://github.com/OS2World/DRV-VDDs-GoSierra/tree/master/VDDs/vCOMPAT

I'm not sure if the open source license is correctly defined. It was released on the same repo than Air-Boot, so it can possible be GNU GPL V3. But I'm not 100% sure about it. I tried to contact Martin so it can be clarified, but I didn't have a reply yet.
