Hi Lars.
"You are just opening a can of worms." I have hear that comment lately too much
It is kind of strange that people don't want to talk about some things in public, or just quickly dismiss all ideas.... it is like someone is whispering at the community ears individually. Is someone else calling you on the background like it is happening to me?
What's the point in building drivers from the DDK sources and releasing them as freeware ?
I need to know how far is last source code level that we have for screen01, kbdbase, clock01, print01 compared to the latest version of OS/2 Warp and eComStation, and if it keeps working on our current OS/2 or not.
If IBM did changed to screen01, kbdbase, clock01, print01 and never released the source code on IBM DDK, that binary software is abandoned without possibilities to be improved. We need to grab the latest source code for "screen01, kbdbase, clock01, print01" and make it up to date and possible make a community close source project, just like you are doing with the USB Drivers.
Those drivers are key for the kernel:
http://www.edm2.com/index.php/OS/2_Kernel#FilesI like open source and screen01, kbdbase, clock01, print01 are not and can not be. We have the source code form IBM but it is under the DDK license, so freeware version of this products can be legally released and use as an alternative since we can not open source it.
If someone wants to help me on this experiment is welcome to contact me or discuss on this forum, if not, move on the next thread.
Regards
