There's also kdiff3 (netlabs under QT4 apps) which does a pretty good job of merging, including 3 way.

Openweather seems to work better for you (Doug and I have the same ISP). The cmd file thinks I'm in Campbell River which is a few hundred kilometers away on Vancouver Island and the web site thinks I'm in London GB.
I'm outside of Vancouver BC.

« on: September 04, 2015, 08:52:48 am »
The issue is https://github.com/bitwiseworks/mozilla-os2/issues/72
Short story, Icedtea plugin is broken with 24ESR and probably newer.

Do you have 100% CPU with plugin-container.exe using most or all? If so go to about:config and make sure that dom.ipc.plugins.enabled is set to false.
Otherwise I believe there is an issue open at the bitwise github issue tracker about problems with the icedtea plugin. Basically it needs work.

You sure it hasn't been given a short (8.3) name?

Why would you want them? It's not like they're going to (easily) work on OS/2. They may have come with one of the really early builds of vbox for OS/2 as if I remember correctly, you needed Win32k.sys to run the first builds to get around the long named DLL issue.
My vbox install has VBoxXCOM.dll.

Try moving downloads.sqlite (in your profile) out of the way and see if that helps. Also go into options-->general and double check that downloads are set to "always ask me"

Utilities / Re: Highmem.exe and Pmwp.dll - it will not work!
« on: September 02, 2015, 12:54:40 am »
I think that any DLL that touches or uses 16 bit API is going to fail when loaded high, this probably includes most of the OS/2 system including desktop and networking.
To experiment just use highmem -b pmwp.dll (or whatever DLL you want to test). You can also try just loading the code or data high, run highmem -? to get all the options. When things go wrong use highmem -u pmwp.dll to unmark it. Make sure you have an alternate method of booting and don't be surprised if the system traps.

Applications / Re: Which program to use for ripping audio CDs to flac?
« on: September 01, 2015, 12:19:53 am »
Wouldn't it be simpler to go with a semi-native solution? Leechmp3 http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/os2/apps/mmedia/sound/convert/leechmp3_340.zip could easily be adapted for flac, we have the newest flac encoder available on Hobbes and even going with the quick and dirty method of renaming flac.exe to lame.exe should work.
If you are planning on using your flac files on audio hardware, it is probably safest to go with the reference encoder. FFmpeg for example can go to 12 (on a scale of 1-10) but not everything can decode such highly compressed flac files.
Probably faster then a Java solutions as well as once the CDDB info is downloaded it rips tracks and encodes in parallel.
I should test but I just noticed my DVD writer is not showing up anymore :(

Perhaps Tellie, elbert.pol gmail.com, as he does quite a bit of QT4 ports.

It's nice to be able to review the changes your script does. When I tested it, it ran so fast and all I saw was a bunch of unlock output and as the DLLs weren't locked it wasn't very informative. BTW your script should also have a license header.
As for Yumie, the latest just checks if @UNIXROOT\usr\lib is at the head of LIBPATH and offers to change it.  (GUI to disable to be added)Your approach has advantages and so does Alex's. Both don't take into account that it is also correct to have @UNIXROOT\usr\local\lib having preference over @UNIXROOT\usr\lib as advanced users may want to manually install DLLs, eg I did this when I updated Freetype.
Yumie also needs documentation written.

I guess I can delete tmp/yumbt now, right?

Yes, also use Warpin to remove "rpm-yum-bootstrap-1_5-p4.wpi" .

Be nice to add some logging as it runs fast with just output from unlock and upload it to Hobbes or such so it is easier to refer people to the script

2) UNICODE.SYS has hardcoded the path of C:\LANGUAGE. I don't know a solution for this maybe:
 - An alternative for UNICODE.SYS can be produced
 - A binary patch for UNICODE.SYS can be produced to have a more flexible path option.
 

UNICODE.SYS seems to actually have "\language\codepage\" as the hard coded path, which explains why it works here on E: and N:. Still bad coding.
I'd guess you could use a binary editor to edit the hard coded path, as long as the path has the same number of characters or less with trailing nulls (zeros) for padding, it should work. Maybe \os2\lang\codepage\ if you want it under \os2. There's also an error message that would also need editing and I'm not sure null padding would work for an error message.
Edit: as Roderick mentions, you'd also have to binary edit a couple of DLLs as well as some exes such as minilvm. As some point to other locations under \language it may be best to just change that part of the path.

Hi Andi, sorry for not replying sooner, been busy.
Shame it takes so much effort to get the localized SM. I will note that someone (Andreas Kohl?) uploaded a de localized SM to Hobbes and there is a localized Lightning at http://mozilla.akohl.net/file/lightning-3.3.6.os2-mitropa.xpi, includes German, Hungarian, Russian, Italian and Polish.
This is well as there never was an official SM 2.28 release so some hacking is required to localize.
As for Lightning, I don't really use it so am not an expert but have been told that one problem is that Google keeps changing its API which breaks the synchronization and it's been suggested that I don't even distribute .gdata-provider.xpi but as it shows up in my build...
I did have some problems with SM 2.21 not loading some pages after some uptime which was very irritating and I would have to reboot to fix. Never figured it out here and it would actually affect all browsers once it started. That problem seems to be gone with 2.28.
Given a shortage of time, you might want to wait for 2.35, which hasn't even been released on the tier 1 platforms (it's quite late) but I'm hoping to release once Bitwise finishes with the 38ESR work (most of the code is shared).
Hopefully someone else can make Lightning recommendations.
One thing I've been curious about, I take it that de_AT is Austrian German. Is it much different then German German or Swiss German? I'd prefer en_CA but put up with en_US as it is close enough, especially if I use a Canadian dictionary as Americans spell lots of words differently.
