Programming / Re: programming in Java with netbeans
« on: June 15, 2015, 02:35:46 am »
Sorry, thought that 5.5.1 was a bug fix or so on 5.5. Tried 6.9.1 with modified command files from 5.0, but I get same error "SYS1065: The input line is too long".

The usual way around this error is to use a response file. A response file starts with @ and lists all parameters, one on each line and is run like foo.exe @response instead of foo.exe /param1 /param2 /etc.
Also watch out for long path names.
BTW, which zip are you using? netbeans-6.5.1-200903060201-ml-java.zip?

Running strings on WINCFG.DLL, it is a PM program and has a SOM call so I'd guess it is the part of the WPS that contains and does the WINOS2 object settings.

Perhaps post the sh script if you are still having problems

Perhaps use Google to research what Linux or the BSDs use with our version of OpenJDK?

You could always not load the Workplace Shell and compare which DLLs are loaded compared to when the WPS is loaded, using Theseus or even pstat /L

Applications / Re: USBLib (USBCalls, USBResmg, USBJoy) license?

It does (once again) raise the question of whether header files are copyrightable as often they are just listings of facts, namely the API. The American courts have been looking at this in the Java case between Google and Oracle and at least one Judge, who happens to also be a programmer, ruled that they are not. It may be going to the Supreme Court though the Obama administration is hoping that they are ruled copyrightable. And of course whatever the Americans decide, they will bully everyone else to following.

You'd also maybe get a better reaction from the community if you started a thread "How to compile screen01" or such and it could be an interesting learning experience.
I agree with you on this, but I don't see anything "extreme/intimidating/" on my first post.

I think it was this paragraph, which can be construed that you want to release the old drivers,

So, I will like to know if someone is interested to create/build some "test-beta-AS IS- no support - under your own risk" drivers for "screen01, kbdbase, clock01, print01" and turn them freeware for all use. I want to test a "non-IBM" produced drivers on my experimental VM.

English is an inaccurate language and it's easy to misconstrue things, in particular the term "freeware" instead of the license allows sharing binaries and I'd like a copy.

Martin, I believe you mentioned that you have a copy of the DDK, so why not just compile them yourself? It should just be a matter of setting up the environment and typing nmake. Then you can test them and beat them (preferably on an SMP system) and see if there are differences between the latest and the DDK versions.
If in the future there is a reason to release them to the public then you can but currently I can't see any reason to as they are only useful to someone with an OS/2 install and anyone with an OS/2 install already has access to these drivers as well as newer versions that probably have bug fixes.
You'd also maybe get a better reaction from the community if you started a thread "How to compile screen01" or such and it could be an interesting learning experience.

Regedit2 is also an official way of editing the OS/2 ini files so not only is it part of Open32 but also part of the PM (WPS?). It's hard to put so much of this stuff under one category.

Brain is going  :) You're right, I misremembered the version.

Is there a utility to show how much RAM an app/process is using?  I really miss Process Commander.

Theseus is the official utility which shows memory usage in great detail  :)

Quickly Googling, I can't find the form.
Thinking about it, I did register as a developer at one time which may have been why I had access.

Wonder how they consider someone having a DDK licence? Personally I have a good chunk of it that I  downloaded way back but am missing the network stuff. Can't remember any agreements when I downloaded it but it seems the DDK was basically freely available.

Look under x:\OS2\INSTALL, there's the VGA subdirectory  and \OS2\INSTALL\display.log.

I think that you should create a new category "video subsystem" with a sub-category "GRADD" or such. You're eventually going to have to create similar for MMOS2, networking etc.
