YES, absolutely interested, for the very reason you mentioned: mobile devices!

Alex!

Thank you sir...looks great here, both standard and bitmapped.

Now I actually get to see the difference, thumbs-up, I like the changes, looks slightly "wider" and cleaner.

I use smartbar, but if it will work depends on used chipsets. ..

I thought I'd give this a try, installing the latest release from Hobbes (3.2) causes a fail in the TCPIP module though:

Programming / Re: The OS/2 API Project at EDM/2
« on: June 07, 2016, 05:01:23 pm »
I think you are right on the money...16-bit vs 32-bit API calls.

For comparison, here is the HPFS386 specific example (direct copy from the Toolkit INF files):

=== START ===
#include <hpfs386.h>
#include <netcons.h>
 
HPFS386GetInfo16(pReserved, pszInfo, sLevel,
           buf, usBuflen, pusBytesAvail);    /* 16 bit */
 
HPFS386GetInfo(pReserved, pszInfo, ulLevel,
           buf, ulBuflen, pusBytesAvail);    /* 32 bit */
=== STOP ===

Here is another example, this one aligned with the naming convention you see:

NetDASDGetInfo or Net32DASDGetInfo

=== START ===
#include <neterr.h>
#include <dasd.h>
 
NetDASDGetInfo(pszServername, pszDirPath, sLevel,
        buf, usBuflen, pusBytesReturned);    /* 16 bit */
 
Net32DASDGetInfo(pszServername, pszDirPath, ulLevel,
        buf, ulBuflen, pulBytesReturned);    /* 32 bit */
=== STOP ===

Programming / How to debug application driven CPU spike?
« on: June 07, 2016, 03:54:39 pm »
I have a somewhat of a weird situation here.

While using the PUMonitor application I find that when I boot with the full 6 cores of my CPU enabled the app starts showing a consistent spike across all cores...usually about 11-15%. This does not happen if I boot with just 5 cores enabled.

Also what is interesting is that if I boot with 6 cores up (which is my normal mode of booting) and disable all but the single core the various CPU meteres I use (CPUMon, TOP or the WarpCenter built-in monitor) show a steady 50-60% spike that just continues and is all attributed to the PUMon utility app.

Sooo...the question is: given that the PUMon author has released the source code and that I have the OS/2 toolkit as well as the VAC++/IBM C/C++ toolsets installed (along with the debugger functionality) how would I take a stab at understanding where the CPU spike comes from?

Literally I am thinking of re-compiling the app on my machine and then invoking a DEBUG run...but I simply have no idea how to capture what in the app is causing the CPU spike. Looking for suggestions...

I've attached a screenshot of the CPU spikes and steady 50-60% utilization "flatline" I mentioned above.

Programming / Re: Compiling PM app on 2016.
« on: June 01, 2016, 01:24:06 am »
Martin,
Do you have the OS/2 Warp Toolkit installed? Either way the linker, make, etc are part of that install. Also, you will need the OS/2 header files...so I'm guessing you'd pretty much need the toolkit installed first.

For my part, I took a stab at this stuff a good 3-4 yrs ago, I have VAC++ and IBMC C/C++ 3.65 installed, my preference was to use 3.65 and like Mike commented never had a problem with this approach for the rather non-complex pieces of code I was building.

I ran all my stuff through VisualSlickEdit, which uses the idea of project definitions...so you end up building the *.cmd files to run the specific EXEs to compile, link, etc..

Happy to post my details if you wish to pursue this option.

Setup & Installation / Re: Minimal OS/2
« on: May 30, 2016, 12:54:26 am »
Way back when I think I used bootos2 to create a maintenance partition...this partition still works for me, but it has been updated manually to account for SMP, etc, etc...very basics here, as in CMD prompt, that's it!!!

I've attached the listing of all the files on that MAINT partition...

It might be worth trying to uninstall and re-install....

Yup, just tested that theory out. Un-installed the BOLD font, re-boted, re-installed and re-booted again (just to be on the safe side). Re-enabled my userChrome.css and....back to the "ugly" BOLD font...so for now I'm simply going back to 0.91 release given that BETA7 of FF38 is out and it's probably time to start getting ready for full-time use.

In the end it looks like the 1.01 release BOLD, for whatever reson, is not being recognized as the BOLD font. I did check the registry, all places where wpsu.ttf was showing the new wpsub.ttf showed up as well.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I'll continue monitor this thread in case any new ideas pop-up...

Internet / Re: FirefFox feedback
« on: May 28, 2016, 05:43:26 am »
My comments are regarding FF 17.x, but for what it's worth:

1) I re-boot my machine as little as possible...usually every 10 days or so, mostly because the low shared memory problem starts to impact WPS

2) usually i have anywhere between 7-10 FF windows open, most with about 5 tabs each, these stay up and running at all times, "about:memory" usually shows about 1Gig used

3) when FF dies it does so with a gracefull exit...so no hangs, etc, etc...occasionally I may encounter a problem and can NOT kill FF...that usually requires a re-boot

1210
The problem is evidently in the rendering of Workplace Sans Bold...I can only guess that it's doing this because mzfntcfgft is unable to find or load the actual Workplace Sans Bold font.

I agree, that is certainly what it looks like. What is strange is that the BOLD version of the font is certainly present in the \psfonts directory, here are all of the WPS*.ttf files that I have:

The WPS font browser folder certainly shows the BOLD version and selecting it opens up a sample window.

What else could I check? I suppose I could also un-install that particular font and re-install?

Hi Alex,

Comparative screen shots would help to understand what exactly you are seeing and (possibly) why.

You say you downloaded both the bitmapped and non bitmapped versions.  Which did you install? They can't both be installed (well, not successfully anyway).

Your reaction certainly suggests you have the non bitmapped versions installed.  Did you have the bitmapped versions installed before?

Correct, I never try to fix the two font releases, it is either the pure TTF or the pure bitmapped enhanced version. Right now I'm running TTF only.

OK, so here are the screenshots as attachments, wish I could in-line them but that seems to be only possible with a URL link, maybe I'm missing something though? lol

So, going by the filenames:

1) FF17_workplace_ttf_091.jpg - my current working font setup
2) FF17_workplace_ttf_101.jpg - the "bad" setup with the new 1.01 font release
3) FF17_workplace_ttf_101_userchrome_gone_fntcfgOLD.jpg - userChrome.css file gone, and using the old fntcfg
4) FF17_workplace_ttf_101_userchrome_gone_fntcfgNEW.jpg - userChrome.css file gone, and using the new fntcfg

So a couple of immediate findings:

1) dropping userChrome.css appears to have a significant impact, the font choices default to what FF is setup to use on our platform
2) there do not appear to be any differences between OLD and NEW fntcfg releases





1212
Hi Dave!

What happens if you remove your userChrome.css? And what version of mzfntcfgft are you using? I did release a couple of test builds of freetype that might have affects such as this.
Here FF17.0.11 with Alex's latest Workplace Sans looks fine.

WarpIn shows version 2.5.4.0 of MZFNTCFGFT_RUNTIME installed...it is dated 31/12/2014. I have a newer ZIP file (mzfntcfgft_runtime_20150829.zip) drop, the included readme states:

=== START ===
This is a build of freetyp2.dll, freetyp6.dll and fntcfg2.dll which are required by various builds of Mozilla and other progams. Updated to freetype 2.60. Dependencies on Z and png dropped.
=== STOP ===

Checking Bitbucket it looks like this is the latest release. Should I be running that instead? I never installed it because I was trying to keep my WarpIn stuff in sync and so did not want the ZIP file contents overlaying the latest WarpIn release.

Regarding userChrome.css delete...I will try that next.

1213
This is not specifically a Firefox issue (as best as I can tell) but since it impacts Firefox (17.0.11) only on my machine I'm posting in this group.

Alright...so I've been using Alex's WorkPlace Sans font family for a looooong time...last version was the 0.91 drop...recently I noticed that 1.01 was out...went out, grabbed the bitmap and non-bitmapped versions...installed them on my system (one at a time of course), re-booted, only to scream in horror (well, not quite, but you get the point...LOL) when I saw the nearly illegible Firefox menus once Firefox was restarted.

Through some experimentation I discoverd that changing the custom setting of gfx.os2.font.hinting=3 to something like 2 or 1 makes it look better, but certainly nowhere near what my current 0.91 version looks like with it being set to 3.

So am I missing something on my machine to make this latest font drop work correctly? Or perhaps, do I have some setting somewhere that should be re-set/turned-off?

I certainly have this font specified in my userChrome.css file, here is a section that controls the font and sizing used for the menus and menubar:

=== START ===

/* this controls the MENUBAR entries */
menubar {
  font-family: workplace sans !important;
  font-size: 16px !important;
}

/* this controls the actual listing of MENU headers */
menu {
  font-family: workplace sans !important;
  font-weight: bold !important;
  font-size: 16px !important;
}

....

Thanks everyone!

Hi Dave!

Have you tried removing Flash and then using Firefox or better yet the latest SeaMonkey which will handle H264+AAC streaming?
Have you tested VLC or MPlayer? They may not have OpenSSL/TLS linked in to handle the encryptiuon.

I do not actually have FLASH installed on my machine. Usually YouTube plays fine using webm, but in the case of these videos it seems it could only do flash.

Yes, tried with VLC and MPlayer, neither one could handle the URL, which was the YouTube hosted video.

Here is an example of what I got back from mplayer (which otherwise is my default player for just about all the media out there):

Multimedia / SMTube update?
« on: May 21, 2016, 05:06:17 pm »
Hi Everyone!

I was attempting to stream the Warpstock videos (since they wan't play in Firefox due to lack fo Flash) but the current OS/2 version of SMTube is at 14.x level, while the latest release is 16.3.x, so I'm curious: any chance we could get an updated release?

I'm asking b/c 14.x release now complains upon startup with "Error: could not connect to Youtube server"...I assume some things have changed???

Thanks!
