Storage / Re: HPFS and JFS internal definition specifications
« on: June 01, 2017, 05:52:37 pm »
There's a fairly complete HPFS implementation in the Linux kernel, and of course, the JFS code in the Linux kernel is a fork of our JFS. The fork happened with this code, https://github.com/OS2World/DRV-JFS-GPL
Note that the Linux JFS is no longer compatible with our bootable JFS.

Internet / Re: Gopher server?
« on: June 01, 2017, 02:59:04 am »
Server or client? The old client works pretty if you have an older OS/2 to get it from along with a couple of DLLs it needs.
Floodgap seems to be the most used Gopher site, they recommend Firefox + the overbite extensionhttp://gopher.floodgap.com/overbite/. (Works with SeaMonkey too)
Their Gopher server lists most Gopher software but a server would probably need to be ported.

I've played with it a bit (and so has Paul) and can transfer one file (usually the ArcaOS ISO) successfully excepting filename problems, it really wants a UTF8 locale. Unluckily libusb probably needs fixing/updating/better porting which is beyond me

Okay, if I start on it and need help will you be there with a safety net to catch me when I fall? :-)

Thank you,
Rick C. Hodgin

I'd give whatever help I can, but I'm far from an expert

Setup & Installation / Re: COM.SYS and VCOM.SYS

They should load assuming you have a standard com port. Not sure about a non-standard port such as a PCI add-on card.

What happens if you run your script as startup.cmd?

Thanks Andreas, I'll add them to my tree.
BTW, next release will have changes to Lightning so you'll have to redo your localized version.
Also seems that dmik made an error in his libpathstrict patch for Firefox.exe and as I just copied his patch... Here's updated binaries.

Programming / Re: Git for OS/2 ?
« on: May 31, 2017, 04:54:10 am »
There's KOMH's that you found, needs his Perl port as well and probably other ports or there's the one that is installed with yum install git. Since you indicated that you're using ArcaOS, it is probably the easiest to install and works here well though some commands need the parameter rather then the short version, eg git-am fails but git am works.

Setup & Installation / Re: Arca OS and WiFi
« on: May 31, 2017, 04:49:44 am »
I am wondering:

Does Arca OS (and OS/2 4.52 in general) ship with every driver that was available at the time of the release?

And do some drivers fail to load simply because the PCI inquiry returns values that are not an exact match for hardware, even though some family drivers might work?

Thank you,
Rick C. Hodgin

There are some network drivers floating around that aren't included, some on Hobbes, some where Doug pointed to and others I'm sure.
Not sure about the PCI inquiry thing but wouldn't be surprised

Setup & Installation / Re: COM.SYS and VCOM.SYS
« on: May 31, 2017, 04:34:35 am »
Are you talking about Arcaos? Should be pscom.sys rather then com.sys as com.sys isn't SMP safe. Did you load usbcom.sys? If so there is a bug where usbcom.sys is loaded first and claims the com port. Fix is to move usbcom.sys to after the other com port using drivers

USB booting was planned for ArcaOS 5.0 but wasn't completed and it is hoped to be in 5.1.
The problem is loading the USB drivers at the right time as far as I know and others have played with it as well.

There's libmtp, http://libmtp.sourceforge.net/ IIRC. MTP is the protocol used by phones, tablets etc to exchange files. Depends on libusb of which we have a port{s} that seems to need more work.

You could try reinstalling the driver. System Setup-->Network-->Adapters and Protocols. Basically remove it and reinstall the same driver, with a couple of reboots in between. At least it should reset everything to the defaults.

There's OpenWatcom, OpenWatcom.org, the only existing cross compiler for OS/2 and of course GCC, yum install gcc.

The OS/2 port of VirtualBox does not support Acceleration VT-x/AMD, which is required to install OS/2
