Speaking as a Canadian, politics will not keep me away from Warpstock, but extra-tight
money situation this year MIGHT.

Sorry if I'm not doing this right.  I am a very infrequent contributor  and am still learning the ropes.

The code below is for anyone who wants to visit all directories, one by one, below the current directory
as root,  out to the "leafs".  It makes use of recursion inside a loop.  It actually visits each directory
twice, once on the "head" recursion and again on the way back in,  "tail" recursion.

It assumes RexxUtil.DLL HAS ALREADY BEEN LOADED.  (I load it at boot time.)
   
You can find lots of nooks and crannies to put features in. 


/* KERNEL          CMD by Gord Snider  v1.0                                  */
current = Strip( Directory(), 'T', '\')         /* save fully qualified current directory for return */
SAY current                                     /* say current directory */
CALL next current                               /* call to check for sub-directories */
EXIT 0

next: PROCEDURE                                 /* hide old set of variables, enable new set */
PARSE ARG nextdir,spacer                        /* spacer is each line's indenting characters */
CALL SysFileTree Strip( nextdir, 'T', '\') || '\' || '*', 'dir.', 'DO'  /* are subfolders here? */
DO dir = 1 TO dir.0                             /* if any, make a list of them and process it */
   IF dir < dir.0 THEN leader = D2C(195)
                  ELSE leader = D2C(192)
  SAY spacer || ' ' || leader || SUBSTR( dir.dir, LASTPOS('\', dir.dir) + 1)
  IF leader = D2C(195) THEN leader = D2C(179)
                       ELSE leader = ' '
  CALL next dir.dir, spacer || ' ' || leader    /* pivot point of the recursion */
END dir                                         /* back to top of dir loop */
RETURN                                          /* a leaf has been reached */

Lewis,

As for ideas for seminar topics:  I have 3 computers running ArcaOS.  I would like to learn
Networking, not just how to set up Samba, but how it all works so I really understand
what happens sending files from computer to computer. 

Also I have a distant dream of learning C and doing some programming.  (I have taken 3 or 4
runs at C using Kernighan and Ritchie but never seem to get to the end of the book.)
I have just recently downloaded the latest toolkit, the Open Watcom compiler and the Drv32
kit from David's site.   Where from there?  Ideas for projects?

I'm all booked to come! 
I do enjoy meeting the people behind the names in the OS/2 world. 
Lewis, does CafePress have this year's logo for branded swag?     
Even though I am probably the least technically advanced attendee I do look forward to hearing of Roadmap ahead
and meeting the programmers of the OS/2 products. 
I am a "user", the web browser, PMMail,  Mesa/2 Spreadsheet, NEPMD
Editor, and REXX for scripting.

OK, if I'm reading this right you already have all the Personal Systems mags I have.

I have two issues of Personal Software that don't seem to have links: 
Issue I, 1994
Issue 2, 1995

Hi Martin,
on Oct 22, 2017 you were looking for hard copies of Personal Systems Magazine.  Did you ever find those?  I have 9 random issues of that magazine from 1990, '91, '92, '93.  Also 2 issues of Personal Software from '94 and '95.

Applications / Re: ArcaOS kernel 202 and Firefox

The AN announcement says not to install the new kernel if our computer is running ACPI.PSD 3.23.14 or lower.  How do we check what version of ACPI.PSD we are running?

Thank you for the URLs to these great keyboards.  I have been looking for them for a while.
