Thanks for sharing the WinBack file.

I had upload it to the github too, (https://github.com/OS2World/UTIL-WPS-WinBack), since it seems I was able to find the source code somewhere (somewhere I don't remember, but it was 6 years ago).

Web applications / Re: QT5 simplebrowser

FYI: Roderick posted some information of the "Test version of the new QT based browser".  He updated the readme.txt (2021-02-07) to help with some doubts.

Silvan from Bitwise Works corrected on twitter that it is not a test version of the new browser, it is a proof of concept with a very simple browser within qtwebengine.

Anyways, feedback is welcome. I remain myself optimist about this project, we really need a modern browser.

Hi Andreas.

Thanks for sharing. Do you have a link for Winback? Was it freeware or Shareware?

Regards.

Hi

This is just one of those "brainstorming" questions that I do from time to time. I'm happy with ArcaOS 5.0.6 and compared to a clean OS/2 Warp 4.52 install, ArcaOS offers a lot of software bundled that saves some time.

But what else do you always install on your clean ArcaOS install?

I have a list here, but it is very specific to my needs list, but not being selfish, I think what I would love to have included on the ArcaOS installer are:
  • Gotcha - I think a screenshot grab utility is important to have (even Windows has it)
  • HBShowDesktop - I really think that an icon on the xcenter to minimize all windows to show the desktop is useful
  • Extended System Tray - This is the xcenter widget that shows me the icon of several Qt applications when are running on the background. (Note: the icon should be changed to not resemble W98)


What else do you think it should be useful to be included on the installer? What configuration you always do once you install a clean ArcaOS? It is very specific to your needs, or do you think it can installed by default?

...it is just brainstorming, nothing will be written in stone  ;D

Thanks Doug.

I think I understand the issue after reading your tip. I installed everything with the installer, including the xcenter widget.
The issue is that even that I didn't added the widget on the xcenter, it seems to be running on the background and "Alt+Tab" is not showing. If I add the widget on the xcenter, the "Alt+Tab" menu will work.

I guess I will need to uninstall the xcenter widget.

Applications / [SOLVED] xcenter - taskbar question.

Hi

I got this question via private message but I prefer this too be asked in public, since there are a lot of people with better skills than me.

Greetings,

I am wondering about xcenter, so if I have programs that start up with boot do they have to appear on taskbar? Taskbar gets very cluttered and hard to find things... I thought there was a way so that not everything ended up on the taskbar back in the warp days but I cannot rember...

Regards,

The taskbar can be customized to ignore some applications that are always running, so they don't show.
Just right click on the taskbar and select "Properties" and on the next window you can select the applications you don't want to see.

I hope this answer the question.

Regards

Hi

I just uninstalled lswitcher, rebooted and reinstalled. It worked fine, but on the next reboot, the error showed again when I run the "lSwitcher" icon.

Hi

I'm experiencing an issue with lSwitcher. I just installed in on ArcaOS 5.0.6 VM.

I get this attached error.

Any ideas?

Hi

Sorry if it is a dumb question, but I'm not experienced on this subject.

As a good practice, all development should use the same os2.h (as some other headers) or it is mandatory that each development tool had their own version of os2.h ?

I know that in practice each dev tool package their own different version like 4.5 Toolkit RPM, 4.5 toolkit installer on eComStation (CD) ,  VAC 3.6 and Watcom.

Hi

I'm looking forward to see any technique on installing OD2 on ArcaOS. I'm not sure if this software will break the WPS or install straightforward on ArcaOS without issues.

Hi

Even that it compiles with icc, I still want to try to compile it with gcc.

I still get this error:
Quote
[E:\projects\tolower1]gcc -Zomf tolower.c
tolower.c:13:12: fatal error: os2.h: No such file or directory
   13 |   #include <os2.h>
      |            ^~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

I think I may have something wrong on the config.sys.  Or may it be better to have a separate SETENV.CMD file?

Regards

Hi

Thanks Dave for the tip. I will also create "toupper" as you suggest for the fun of it.

Dave, by any chance do you know of a good open source example (for OS/2) of a command line tool that can be good to analyze as a "source code skeleton of a command line tool", that may have, multiple input parameters (/s /? etc) and several language support?.

I'm just curious is some sample can be produced as a "source code skeleton of a command line tool" in C.

1) I can compile it with it's makefile (nmake) with icc.exe (3.6), but it links the file to the "CPPRSI36.DLL" runtime.
I'm not sure if there is a DLL that came bundled with ArcaOS that can be used to replace the "CPPRSI36.DLL" runtime... like "OS2OM30.DLL"? or it is a completely different thing?

Hi
I did some guessing, I replaced the "ctype.h" from "D:\IBMCXXO\include" to the one included on the OS2TK45 (D:\OS2TK45\h\libc) and I recompiled.

Now "tolower.exe" did not have dependency on "CPPRSI36.DLL" and seems to be working. I'm not sure if I did the right thing.

Hi

I want to compile a very simple command line tool called "tolower", that converts the files of a directory to lowercase.

1) I can compile it with it's makefile (nmake) with icc.exe (3.6), but it links the file to the "CPPRSI36.DLL" runtime.
I'm not sure if there is a DLL that came bundled with ArcaOS that can be used to replace the "CPPRSI36.DLL" runtime... like "OS2OM30.DLL"? or it is a completely different thing?


2) I also tried to compile it with gcc just to try it out. I get this error.
Quote
[E:\projects\tolower1]gcc -I. -Zomf -o tolower.exe tolower.c
tolower.c:13:12: fatal error: os2.h: No such file or directory
   13 |   #include <os2.h>
      |            ^~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
Where I'm missing to include "C:\usr\include\os2tk45" on the config.sys so gcc can find os2.h ?
