Hello

Here I have Qplay. it does not run on ArcaOS, it loads and quit instantly and does not produce a popup error log.

Regards

Works fine here, did you read the readme? Try something like
Code: [Select]
qplay.exe E:\MMOS2\SOUNDS\APPLAUSE.WAV" Adjust the drive letter as needed.

Hello

I found this one:

eCSExpand. It is supposed to be a HTML Processor. I guess it transform HTML to another thing, but it hangs for me even with a basic HTML file.
It did not include any information and seems to have the VX-REXX source code.

Seems to only work with HomePage Publisher, http://homepagepublisher.com/index.php .
You could register, create a web page and test.

How do you find the HomePagePublisher reference? on the source code?
Should I add on the documentation that it should only work with  homepagepublisher.com? Just to help the hypothetical user that tries this software. There was no documentation where I found this file.

Yes, in ecsexpand.vrx about line 359,
Code: [Select]
   do while lines(InputFile)

      ibuf = linein(InputFile)

      if (BodyFile<>"") then do

         if (pos("<!-- Generated by HomePage Publisher - ",ibuf)>0 |,

             pos("<!-- Most recent revision:",ibuf)>0 |,

             strip(ibuf) = "</Body>" |,

             Strip(ibuf) = "</Html>") then iterate

      end

      /* <!insert prefix_template.html> */

Not really sure what it does after this. As I said, you could register and create a page to test

Hello

I found this VSE/ESA Workstation Interface:
- http://ps-2.kev009.com/pccbbs/os2_coding/vse-esa.zip
I'm guessing it is a utility to send commands to a mainframe, right?
It comes with a .VRP and some .VRX files, are those the source code of it for VX-REXX ?

Regards

To answer your first question.

Yes it is an interface (GUI) to send/retreive command/results from a mainframe VSE system.
VSE is nearly a mainframe DOS system, successor of DOS/VSE - ESA was replaced by Z since a long time.
IBM mainframe operating systems: z/VSE, z/VM (also named hypervisor), z/OS, z/Linux (or more commonly Linux on zseries), z/TPF

Somme rexx functions allowing automated processes on a host could be done throught rexx ehllapi and pcomm (personnal communication) too
etc...
