OS/2 Warp 4 Tutorial on ArcaOS 5.1
« on: October 24, 2024, 08:06:30 pm »
To full fill my attempt of turning ArcaOS 5.1 in OS/2 Warp 4, I try to get the Tutorial to run.

I copied all the necessary files etc. like I did so many times before, beginning with some ( I do not know exactly wich ) Version of ArcaOS the Tutorial does not work as designed.

It creates the Training Folder on the desktop, but instead of showing the application it opens teh help file with the viewer, please see attached picture.

I guess this is the problem: the files must be connected to the viewer in some way.

Is it possible to turn this back for the tutorial program?

What do I have to do to get it up and running?

Thanks in Advance!

You made me interested let me see if I can figure this one out. I know what guide you mean....
It also plays a VLC animation I think that Warp 4 course.

Best I can telll the configuration is in this file in the Warp 4 CD.
S:\OS2IMAGE\FI\FEATURE_\WARPGUID\INSTDATA.INI
This creates the different objects during the install of Warp 4.

I think the main Warp training lives in the file
S:\OS2IMAGE\FI\COACHES\OS2\HELP\_cchsys.db
It seems the proper class needs to be registered.

Aaah this is part of the OS/2 help.
