Games / Re: OS/2 - ArcaOS - Native Games
« on: Today at 04:00:12 pm »
Hi TZhivkov

I doubt if there are any... I have never found a working OS/2 based pinball game.

I think this is simply because the existing DOS games can be played without problems using the OS/2 built in DOS support - or DOSBox can be installed.
 
I use DOSBox to play Epic Pinball and Pyscho Pinball - probably 2 of the best pinball games around - simply because current audio devices tend to need the uniaud driver which does not have sound support for DOS sessions.


Regards

Pete

Any older flash pinball game ?

ok, this pipe info out of the application into the script (WIN),

how do one send instructions out from the script (WIO) into the application (applications stdin)?

Use the pipe as input mode too
may be specifying dual mode (I didn't have time to give it a try)+ something like <\pipe\nnnnnnn before the >\pipe\nnnnnnn and instcnt to 2!
Use the write function from rxutilex to write into the pipe

The application should support using pipe input and output.

sqlite3 seems to use special syntax

There's a text file mentioning how to call functions, but most people new to something as this need help to grasp how and why to knit this function together with that to achieve the desired result.

Example 1: "SysFileTree" was unthinkable to me to use to find or search for files when I begun to try Rexx, the function should have been named SysSearchPath, SysFindFile or something along those lines, not "...Tree", totally bonkers name.

Example 2: Pipe in, pipe out. What "end" of the pipe do one define? I want to output data as text instructions/parameters to one end of the pipe to be sent through the pipe into the application as instructions/parameters just as input by keyboard. It should not block the application that run.

Could you enlighten me how to do such things with RXUTILEX?

How to send commands to sqlite3.exe

:D

I wrote quickly a few lines (not checked but should be helpfull) usable to read program outputs into a pipe (pipeout) !

Code: [Select]
/* rexx cmd */
Call RxFuncAdd 'Sys2LoadFuncs','rxutilex','Sys2LoadFuncs'
Call  Sys2LoadFuncs
pipe_rxutilex=rxfuncquery('Sys2CreateNamedPipe')

/* setting a few vars */
EOF1 = x2c("0D")
EOLF = x2c("0A")
/* vars used for pipe function */
pipename = '\pipe\'||'mynamedpipe'    /* to always have unique pipe name, you can append clock time to a short name */
openmode = 'WIN'
pipemode = 'WTR'
instcnt            = '1'               /* one only for the program pipeout */
outbuf = '4096'
inbuf = '4096'
timeout = '10000'
readbufsize = '4096'
pipeway = 'I' /* I= In, O= Out, D=dual */   
/* ------------------ */
If pipe_rxutilex=0 then call pipe_proc
Else exit 28 

pipe_proc:
If pipe_rxutilex=0 then do
hpipe = Sys2CreateNamedPipe(pipename,outbuf,inbuf,timeout,instcnt,,pipeway,1,)
If word(Sys2CheckNamedPipe(hpipe),1)\= 0 then do
Say "Rexx Create Named Pipe failed rc: "||word(Sys2CheckNamedPipe(hpipe),1)
Ddosrc='6 0'
Call disc_closepipe
End
Else do
hpipecon = Sys2ConnectNamedPipe(hpipe)
If word(hpipecon,1)=0 then do
Say "Rxutilex Rexx Connect Named Pipe failed"
Ddosrc='6 0'
Call disc_closepipe
End
Else Say "Rxutilex Rexx Connect Named Pipe succeeded ("||hpipecon||")"
data = Sys2Read(hpipe,readbufsize)
If data\='' then Ddosrc='0 '||length(data)
Else do
Ddosrc='6 0'
Call disc_closepipe
End
'@start '||' your program and parameters '||' >'||pipename||' 2>&1'       /* program started with usable pipe - pipeout example */ 
Call pipe_read
End
End
return

pipe_read:
Do while word(Ddosrc,1) = 0 & word(Ddosrc,2) > 0
data=translate(data,' ',EOF1||EOLF) /* or remove this line */
Select
When wordpos('your search word into the line',data)>0 then do
/* */    Say data
/* your process */
End
Otherwise
nop
End
data = Sys2Read(hpipe,readbufsize)
If data\='' then Ddosrc='0 '||length(data)
Else Ddosrc='6 0'
End
return

disc_closepipe:
dosrc = Sys2DisconnectNamedPipe(hpipe)
clrc=Sys2Close(hpipe)
exit

(for pipe in, dual mode should be set, namedpipe usable for in and out and use write to the pipe to send datas to the appl)   ::)

Have a look on rxutilex very easy to use

It wold be interesting to know if using sftp command line (from ssh), it will work.
cmd exemple:  sftp -P 22 userid@serveur_domain:/remote_dir

If it works, than I'll check if pipe mode is usable under rexx and if yes, a simplified GUI could be quickly created ...   
 

updt: For secuyrity raison, psw can't be sent through pipe not put into a batch file.
I give a try using copy/paste and it works ! but how to issue a command (e.g. rexx) to have the "paste" operational  into a specific cmd prompt window under which sftp is started ?

I just saw something and may be you can check too !

I used dynamic icon on my desktop but I left icon view under folders with normal.
After (first) upgrade, I have dynamic icons under any folder  :-\  (next re-install didn't change settings)

Tried:

- Re-installed eco runtime  (no change, problem still exist)
- Re-installed Dynamic icons 2.5.6 (no change, problem still exist)
( REgression installing Dynamic icons 2.5.2.2 (no problem, works)
- Installed Dynamic icons 2.5.6 (problem occurs again)

Now, left dynamic icons 2.5.2.2 due 2.5.6 introduces problems

In that case, you should probably install the package Martin found since AOS's distribution of the ecoSoft runtime has *never* included wpfldrex.dll. If the date on your dll is older than Oct 13, 2017 it needs upgrading.


ArcaOS download link has the same package and I already updated it to this latest level.

Dynamic icon was updated after Eco Runtime, I'll try to re-install Eco runtime having upgrades dynamic icons

eco runtime was installed since my ArcaOs 5.0.x and available through 
I always upgraded ArcaOS up to 5.0.8 before upgrading to 5.1.x

https://www.arcanoae.com/eco-software-runtime-packages-updated-to-20241129/
was upgraded since.

Had no issue since Dynamic icon upgrade (always the same 4 folders icon have the problem and sometime, the problem is limited to 2 folders only)

I have bigicons enabled and do not "use custom icons"

Before closingf ArcaOS, I opened/closed IBM works and lotus smartsuite folder getting back the correct icon.
Today, at boot time, both folders have the correct icon but two others I notice too didn't !
These are "command prompt" and "system setup" folders  (doing the same, opening them and closing them makes the correct icon displaied!

These icons (shortcut) are also into my xcenter (ArcaOS build) bar... of course, with the corresponding dispolaied icon (bad or good)
Openning the folder from the xcenter shortcut doesn't put back the correct icon folder, only opening/closing the main folder puts back the good icon.

I put the computer view with the icon issue on 2 folder before and after open/close
and xcenter bar after getting back the good icons.

Hi,

After updating Dynamic Icons to 2.5.6, I found bugs !
After any boot, main Lotus smartsuite and IBM works folders have they icon lost.
I have to open folder and close it to get the correct icon folder back and this bug occurs after each reboot....

How to correct ?

Yes, and OpenSSH looks promising but unfortunately I would need a frontend for it.
I could do with a cmd-line version, however there is another user who refuses to use anything that has no GUI.

If you have some knowledge with rexx, use drdialog and create a GUI (frontend) to issue command but of course, for a nice GUI with a lot of function it will need a lot of work and better to find some shh gui if exist.

Create dialogs to get needed information to issue the sftp command using a "get" or what else named button which will issue the command (as detach command)  with pipe mode, get messages back from the pipe into an other dialog until end of sftp process.
