General Discussion / Re: PMfax
« Last post by Neil Waldhauer on April 22, 2024, 05:09:53 am »
The system installs COM ports at boot time while parsing the Config.Sys. The COM port number depends on the ordering of the statements in Config.Sys, and which of them claims a serial port. (Some might not be obvious)

I'm not sure how many COM ports OS/2 supports. Some say 99, some say 255.

In the time since I last posted, both ends of the POTS line have ended service. AT&T has applied for a permit to stop providing POTS to anyone.

Neil,
How right you are ...  It's bit a long time since i had to configure this kind of connection, though I'm trying again after a long hiatus in trying PMFax Pro again.

I also have a US Robotics External 54K Voice FaxModem Pro, connected by the USB cable and to a landline.  While PMFax is (I believe) installed properly, I can't get a dial-in recognized by it.  (I first used Suntan Special for installation but got an Error that "Product not enabled."  I then copied an old directory, and used the Registry Editor to change the directory reference.)

USBCOM.SYS is referenced in <config.sys>.  Since FMD1 as the Port didn't work, I tried COM1 but No Joy there either.

Looking in <system.ini> for COM1, the PORTDRIVER key is "Serial".  Since the modem now has a USB connection, is this the problem?  (I also have a Serial cable for it and might be able to use an adapter to connect it to my ThinkCentre M93p, but would prefer to avoid this if this extra work would be in vain.)

Any ideas?

Programming / PMPrintf package v2.80 and PMPrintf_abtrace code samples
« Last post by Andi B. on April 21, 2024, 07:43:39 pm »
I've packed together my latest code base of PMPrintf and packed it together as v2.80. See https://sourceforge.net/projects/pmprintf-os-2-debug-helper/files/

PMPrintf sends standard printf formatted debug messages into a queue. If the PM viewer application (PMPrintf.exe) or CLI logger (PmPfLog.exe) is running it will display these queued data. Otherwise they go to NULL. Log files can be written to disk in parallel too.

If you never used PMPrintf I strongly suggest looking at the code and usage samples at https://sourceforge.net/p/pmprintf-abtrace/code/ci/master/tree/. These samples loads pmprintf.dll dynamically if it is available on the target system. If not your program will normally run and your debug messages goes to NULL. There is no need to make extra release and debug builds. The small overhead will be negligible most of the time. A programmers life can be so easy :-).

Have fun.

Applications / Re: LarsenCommander - new test version

Oh, I never used these setting page by myself. In fact I took the usual OS/2 way - drag/drop a font from the font palette to the desired place. I think I remember all these dropped fonts (and colors, and background colors) are saved and restored. So I think you only have to drop your desired fonts on the different controls and you're done. Does this not work for your on one of the controls?

Though I for myself rarely had the need to change my fonts the last decade or so as I still use monitors with 94-105dpi (most of the time).

Hello Andi B.

Thanks for updating Larsen Commander.

I was wondering if there can be some easy way to make Larsen Commander to get the default font and size from the XWorkplace 1.0.26 font settings, without breaking the great functionality that Larsen Commander has to select a font and size for each component.

But I recognize I don't have  a clear idea of how I want it to be shown on the configuration. I don't know if having a checkbox on each of the components saying "Use system default", but it may look to messy.

Regards

I don't think that checking for shadow buffer is worth the effort. Todays systems with the video memory addressable as write combined memory are more than fast enough for your purposes. Just always use DiveBlitImage, following the beehive sample. That sample works perfectly well with the shadow buffer enabled.

Yes, I do use the Dive functions, but WM_VRNDISABLED AND WM_VRNENABLED are not much use for me, since Classicube gives me the rectangles it wants to paint to, anyway. Moreover, SDL2 works without using the window messages, so it seems optional.
Really? Does it correctly handle the situation when the application window is partly obscured by another desktop window?
No need to get snarky. I don’t get anything, so I‘m really not interested in obscured windows in the first place.

Code from Mozilla (widget\os2\nswindow.cpp #405), for querying whether the shadow buffer is enabled
Code: [Select]
  // Don't use DIVE if the Panorama video driver is in use
  // unless its shadow buffer is turned off.
  HMODULE hmod;
  if (!DosQueryModuleHandle("PANOGREX", &hmod)) {
    char      str[8];
    if (PrfQueryProfileString(HINI_USERPROFILE, "PANORAMA", "VBEShadowBuffer",
                              0, str, sizeof(str)) && !strcmp(str, "0")) {
      sUseDive = TRUE;
      printf("Video driver is Panorama - shadow-buffer is disabled\n");
    }
    else
      printf("DIVE is disabled - Panorama's shadow-buffer is enabled\n");

    return;
  }

  sUseDive = TRUE;
Thanks.

Hello
Thank you very much for your effort.
 I have a little problem that is very annoying to me.
  Let me explain:
When I have the lcmd open and on top of that I have the editor e.exe open
 I MOVE my mouse over the number 10 Exit button. A yellow bar lights up.
 And when I move the mouse over the editor, at the scroll bar, when you click on the scroll bar of the editor,
  the Lcmd closes.
Saludos
