eCS 2.2 C API documentation

<< < (2/4) > >>

Eugene Gorbunoff:
In addition to OS/2 API, new libraries were included to eComStation -- http://ecomstation.ru/toolkit
* You can create PM application using C++ Windows library: Glass PM C++
* access sqlite databases
* xio to download files from ftp/http
* etc

dbanet:
I don't recommend making up additional unnecessary dependencies on proprietary software (http://ecomstation.ru/toolkit).

In our situation.

Eugene Gorbunoff:
The development of OS/2 software is very labour-intensive. You can't create good application using pure OS/2 API. You can create applications in short terms if using additional libraries.

OS/2 users and developers which understand the importance of native software, will support this libraries.

Agreed, free and open source ones.

Groundless statement. Show me some?

The thing you don't understand is that times changed. No one in OS/2 world wants to depend on proprietary software, we've learnt the lesson. Even if there were a reliable commercial structure capable of leading OS/2 support and development, still no; but there is none. Aren't you gonna name yours?

The worst thing is that you show up somewhere and start to peremptorily state wrong things on behalf of the community, as everyone is agreed to you. While the hugest part of all your words are in fact destructive, senseless and, I believe, unconscious disinformation.

Eugene, please say, what was the last time you've done something good to the community and the platform not trying to earn a shameful miserable cent on it? It's just disgusting.

Please stop, you're making it worse.

Eugene Gorbunoff:
To Alexander:

Moreover, ACPI API was added to the operating system, SDL library, etc




To: Boris (dbanet)

It's difficult dispute here.

I offer libraries to the developers, you offer the slogan: "let's use open source".

You position is not very smart, the users have seen that you are a swindler, when you made efforts to collect money for new fraud (port network drivers, etc).
