Setup & Installation / Re: JRUN - Looking for Guinea pig(s)
« on: January 27, 2021, 06:19:12 pm »
The web page you gave above is not responding.

had a power outage in the area... but ok, I'll post the package here.

1. NetRexx 3.04 can be used with OpenJDK 6, later versions of NetRex seem to use a feature only present in newer versions of java.
2. The script included with NetRexx has not been updated for long... so you have to rewrite it completely or use jRun instead. There's No point in using NetRexxc.cmd. The program object it create associate itself with .nrx files so you can Compile / Run them with a click
3. Download java2nrx and add a program object for it (with JRun) you can convert .java code to .nrx code

I'm interested in getting NetRexx running. I try NetRexxC.cmd, but it gives errors.

Error: K:\PROGRAMS\JAVA600\JRE\bin\client\jvm.dll: this JVM conflicts with a dif
ferent type of JVM loaded by another process. You may only use one JVM type of a
 given Java installation at a time
Error: K:\PROGRAMS\JAVA600\JRE\bin\client\jvm.dll: this JVM conflicts with a dif
ferent type of JVM loaded by another process. You may only use one JVM type of a

The documentation for java state that you may only run the server or client version of jvm.dll at a time.
The text above say that the script try to start the client version.
What other java app may be running at that time?

Thanks for your help.

To start, I just wanted to run hello.nrx

I'm running on the Q: drive. My SDK is in Q:\Programs\java600. I am running Jetty with JavaMail, so maybe that's why it is running server.

NetRexx is in Q:\Programs\NetRexx

Sold!

I did try a color change as you suggested, and quite a few other things, but nothing I tried helped. I have seen whole rows go bad on laptops before.

General Advertisements / Laptop with ArcaOS (sold)
« on: January 26, 2021, 03:29:08 pm »
This is a sad story about having to scrap one of my laptops for sale. It sold quickly.

As an ArcaOS user, I keep XCenter on the bottom of the screen. So the screen looked fine. But when I closed the XCenter, one row of pixels was white. Normally the XCenter has a row of white pixels at that location, so I never noticed it before.

Well, I can't sell it as a perfect laptop, so I decided to scrap it. But it has ArcaOS and all the applications, ready for customer delivery.

If you are handy, spare screens are available for about $75.



I now have a perfect version of the laptop for sale for $879 plus shipping, but including ArcaOS license.

http://www.blondeguy.com/computer/phenobopeep.html

This laptop with the screen defect is available for $180 including shipping within USA, but not including ArcaOS license. Shipping to other countries is handled by eBay. Put the computer in your cart to find details regarding shipping and customs. This is close to the scrap value of the laptop. I priced it just high enough to allow a potential ArcaOS user to buy it before the junk dealers get it.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/324463628321

So, for the right customer, this laptop is a bargain. The T450s is very close to the same weight as the much smaller X250, but with a 1920 x 1080 screen.

Hardware / Re: ThinkPad T60 Wifi
« on: January 21, 2021, 03:29:19 pm »
I can confirm that Atheros WiFi on T60 works. ArcaOS does not have the driver, because the manufacturer denied Arca Noae the right to include it. You need to download and install GenMac from Netlabs.

https://smedley.id.au/tmp/uniaud32-linux-5.10.7-20210117.zip - just code cleanups - shouldn't change any behaviour....

This build produces sound output on my Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s with the following sound card built-in.

Command line mixer for UNIAUD32. Version 1.1
Detected UNIAUD version 3.01.01
Detected 1 audio adapter(s)
Card info for adapter 0:
  num: 0
  id: PCH

Line out makes sound. The volume control works.
Speaker does not make sound.
Microphone was not tested.

PMUniMix shows 5 volume controls: master volume and line-out volume work.

unimix - list shows 29 controls

Applications / Re: PMMail questions.
« on: January 18, 2021, 03:05:02 pm »
For a case like yours, where you only use stunnel for PMMail, you do not need to start anything. PMMail will manage the stunnel program and you do not need to configure anything apart from the settings Darius showed above.

I admit the help could be a little more helpful.

Applications / OpenOffice Spreadsheet charts
« on: January 17, 2021, 06:01:02 pm »
Starting with version 4.1.8, charts seem to vanish in the following scenario.

1. Edit the chart
2. Save the spreadsheet in .ODS format
3. Close Open Office
4. Open the spreadsheet; the chart is gone

A potential workaround is to save in .XLS format instead

I opened a bug report as described in the readme. Thanks to all who helped me get an account to report this.

Applications / Re: Password
« on: January 16, 2021, 03:33:43 pm »
OS/2 is a single user operating system.

When you set USER during the installation, you are setting an environment variable named USER.

How you set up a userid and password depends on which UNIX compatibility software your ssh is based upon.

I use SAMBA Users and Groups to manage my accounts. Another system of users and passwords is accessed by the TCP/IP configuration applet. If you are a Unix user, perhaps the command line apps for user management are on your system. Finally, there is klUsrMgr, which is maintained by bww bitwise works.

I'm in the ArcaOS test group, and I tried to make a CD for cases like this. I ran out of patience to do the job.

There are two ways to go:

1. swap in a hard disk from a working system and fix config.sys.

or

2. Make a boot CD (use bootable? or eCS 1.2?) and restore a backup to the hard drive. The advantage to doing it this way is you don't have to use a screwdriver.

Hardware / Re: Does Arcaos support browsing phones?
« on: January 08, 2021, 03:56:57 pm »
I have an iPhone. I run the Apple iCoud suite on Firefox 45 under ArcaOS. in Photos, I can browse and download photos (upload, too.)

I can also attach the iPhone to the OS/2 computer with USB. The phone mounts as a Camera. Cameraderie works just fine. I can download photos from the phone and delete the ones I don't need from phone memory.

I run SAMBA server on OS/2. The iPhone can browse the OS/2 machine and most apps can load and save files to the OS/2 machine.

I run VNC server on OS/2. I can run the OS/2 desktop on the iPhone (or iPad, which has a better screen for the OS/2 desktop.)

If you look at Mac OS 9, in System, at the components loaded, you will see a lot of familiar libraries. These are SOM and DSOM libraries from OS/2 to make it inter-operate. The Apple clones would have run OS/2, Windows, MacOS, Taligent, Workplace all on the Power architecture's common reference platform.

But Apple was having big business problems. Microsoft bailed them out, and Apple's board got Steve Jobs back. Jobs killed MacOS 9 and replaced it with NeXt, renaming it Mac OS X. The clones were not included in these plans. OS/2 was out. IBM didn't want it, Apple didn't want it.

I could speculate that OS/2 might have competed against Mac OS X had IBM got behind it. I doubt IBM would have gotten any return on their investment, though. I doubt Microsoft really saw that they were going to lose control of consumers to Google and Apple. IBM at least had the vision to get out.

Microsoft showed some real intelligence putting Windows on life-support and moving their attention to consumers and their cloud platforms. Now LinkedIN is nearly as profitable as Windows.

I'm also using that version of Visual SlickEdit. I didn't really think about customizing it. I'd be interested to hear more about how you enhance SlickEdit for OS/2

Pack.Exe is a part of the OS/2 Toolkit. (So is Pack2.Exe, but I don't know if that is also needed.)
