It's easy enough to find various versions of Visual Age on some of the abandoned ware sites. It's where I originally picked up a version of 3.08. I did get donated a legal copy afterwards and it was identical.

Always worth trying a different stick. I've had a few fail here when beta testing, weirdest was one that just stopped booting even though it seemed fine and works to transfer files.

That's good as I"m sure I did hear of some where the frame buffer couldn't be put in low memory.
How much ram is accessible? mem /v

I think it must be a problem with repositories.
I have these two:
Code: [Select]
[arcanoae-rel]
name=ArcaNoae stable repository $releasever
baseurl=https://repos.arcanoae.com/release/$releasever/
enabled=1

[netlabs-rel]
name=Netlabs Stable Repository $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=http://rpm.netlabs.org/release/$releasever/$basearch/
https://www.2rosenthals.com/rpm.netlabs.org/release/$releasever/$basearch/
enabled=1



After installing the lvpx... I still didn't have that file.
Is there any other repository available?
Saludos

You probably need to enable netlabs-exp and update libvpx. Perhaps disable it after.

Thanks Dave. It was working. i am glad you told me where the downloads went.

Good. It is kind of a weird place to download files to when there is also \Home\Downloads but I think that's how it works on Windows and many a Linux Desktop tries to follow Windows. OS/2 itself is too old to have a Downloads folder but perhaps it should have.

One problem I have with double is I cannot download a file.  Am I doing something wrong?

Still works here. Press CTRL-D and see if the downloads tab opens. Note that by default Dooble downloads to \Home\Desktop, which can be changed on the downloads tab at the top. You sould be able to right click on a file etc and choose "Save Link" to save.
Possible your profile is corrupt if not working.

It's just a shame that out FAT32 driver is so slow.

Programming / Re: Installing Meson on OS/2

Not my port, KO Myung-Hun's port. I haven't looked at it yet.
Edit: Quickly looking, there is a setup.py and it requires Ninja, I think Paul hosts a build of Ninja or I have one if you need it. The README.md has more info, even how to create an executable, which might work on OS/2, otherwise I guess you run "python setup.py" and once installed "python meson.py".
I think I'll do a backup before trying to install it.

Hi Martin, yes that is what I wanted. Interesting, exactly the same error as the OS/2 build besides I used en_CA so it is a Dooble bug.
I just tried on Linux and got,
Code: [Select]
2025.11.25 Settings says"Warning! The directoy qtwebengine_dictionaries cannot be accessed. Dooble searched /home/dave/work/dooble/build/qtwebengine_dictionaries. Please read /home/dave/work/dooble/Source/dooble_settings.cc line 2766
Which is correct. My guess is the directory separator is screwing things up. Before your post I was wondering if it was a bug in our Qt

Good to hear it works for you.
Meanwhile, recovering from the flu so been slow. Tested various builds to see where it looks for the dictionary files and got,
Code: [Select]
2023.12.25 looks for bdic in ./qtwebengine_dictionaries
2024.01.25 Settings says "The directory qtwebengine_dictionaries cannot be accessed. Please read Source/dooble_settings.cc, line 2285."
2024.11.23 Settings says "The directory qtwebengine_dictionaries cannot be accessed. Dooble searched W:/\qtwebengine_dictionaries. Please read Source/dooble_settings, line 2363."
2025.11.25 Settings says "Warning \en_CA.bdic cannot be accessed!"

Next is to boot to Linux and test and perhaps open an issue.
Martin, IIRC you have Dooble installed under Windows. Could you check the settings and see if the dictionaries are not found and what the message is?

Before I upload this to the FTP site, others should test as this built from netlabs-exp. I think it should be fine.
Try updating as well as a new install
