Also... should someone manage to build the runtime, these could be use to test the end result :-)

I think it was in Warp 4 original install media.

Indeed. I think it was in the selective install options?

The code in there remains really interesting for concerns outside of the OpenDoc context, however:

- we get to see excellent examples of clean Workplace Shell integration C++ code:
  https://github.com/atcurtis/OpenDoc/blob/main/os2/src/docshell/OS2Shell.cpp
- ... and its IDL counterpart
  https://github.com/atcurtis/OpenDoc/blob/main/os2/src/docshell/idl/OS2Shell.idl


There's an effing full bento format implementation:
   https://github.com/atcurtis/OpenDoc/tree/main/com/src/bento


What's the value? Well, some application formats relied on Bento, just as Microsoft file formats relied on OLE/COM Structured Storage format. Can be useful to inspect the structure of old archived media files from early Avid workstations, for example (http://justsolve.archiveteam.org/wiki/OMF_Interchange) although the data won't be immediately readable without reverse engineering yet for forensics and archeology, I can definitely see value there for many multimedia applications (Avid Symphony/Media Composer, ProTools...)

I would like to just stick to the menu selection which would simply show that BLDLEVEL info in it's own pop-up

Why wait for someone to implement a feature that you can have _now_?

Open Properties for \os2\bldlevel.exe, and on the 'Session' page uncheck "Close window on exit". Then on the 'Association' page, add "*.DLL" and "*.EXE". Done! When you need this info, select 'Open as', then 'bldlevel.exe'.

FWIW... on my system, any info I may need about a binary is immediately at hand because I have associated 6 different utils with *.exe and *.dll. Some of these associations are program objects while others point at the exe itself:
unlock.exe
exehdr.exe
exeinfo.exe
pmdll.exe
hexedit2.exe
bldlevel.exe

Warning: you can *not* copy/paste from a VIO window whose app has terminated - it's instant death. If you need this ability, associate a simple .cmd file like this and leave "Close window on exit" checked:

-----bldlvl.cmd-----
@bldlevel %1
@pause

Here it is one:
- IBM OS/2 Newsletter (1994-08-16)

I was only able to find "Volume 1, Issue 2 and 3". I can not find "Vol 1 Issue 1" and I'm no sure if there was any more issues after 3.

General Discussion / OS/2 History Newsletters

Hello

I had been doing some light reorganization on the HobbesArchive on the OS/2 Newsletters:
- http://hobbesarchive.com/?path=%2fpub%2fos2%2finfo%2fnewsltr
And it is taking me some time, because some times I get hooked reading those.

Just in case someone wants to help, If you see some newsletter missing on Hobbes, let me know to also include it there.

Regards

I think it was in Warp 4 original install media. But I seem to recall after that no further updates where released or new versions for OS/2.
Again off the top of my memory.

Thanks Roderick for the feedback.

I just remembered some Steve Jobs video, after his return to Apple, saying something about his decision for killing OpenDOC. Something like it does not fit on his strategy, like it was not relevant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeqPrUmVz-o

Trying to find which OS/2 apps we have with OpenDOC I just found that "TrueSpectra OpenDoc component", Some Lotus Components (not specified in detail), WebPainter and Mesa 2 (Spreadsheet).

This is the best source I found about OpenDOC on OS/2: http://www.edm2.com/index.php/OpenDoc

It seems that it never got relevant to OS/2.

The last Personal Communications for OS/2 version was 4.3.2

There are several builds out; I think the last might have been August, 2001

DART was IBM's half-baked effort to provide some sophsticated sound processing. What it ended up with is the ability to control streaming to an audio device largely by the application (instead of trusting the streaming manager). That's about it.

yes, you are correct, sound data always is in little endian format.
