Hi

I was just reading this news at Slashdot.
https://linux.slashdot.org/story/16/03/30/1021224/confirmed-microsoft-and-canonical-partner-to-bring-ubuntu-to-windows-10

Poiting to this Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols article:
http://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-and-canonical-partner-to-bring-ubuntu-to-windows-10/

Sure, it is nothing technically amazing, it is like running Linux over Windows like we have Win16 on OS/2. Or will it be something different? But it shows something strange with Microsoft behaviour as we used to know them.

Will it be the "Embrace, extend and extinguish" strategy all over again? or will this mark the end of Window as we know it?

It is kind of fun to speculate on this subject.

Hi, thanks to all.

I think that putting a site like OS2World is easy, what it really make this community awesome is the people that visit it and collaborates everyday.

Some guy told me "...at the end of all this community is only about software". I think diferent, "it is about people".

Thanks Wim.

I just replaced it on the cWarp experiment and it didn't break anything.
The only change that I noticed is that the fonts looks different on the messages when it boots, but "different good".

Hi Wim

Thank you very much. I will be trying it on my experiment.

Just one thing to confirm, are the .rom of your files the fonts?

Thanks to everyone that keep visiting this site.

Any feedback about OS2World is always welcome.

Martin - if you get this magazine perhaps you might share a review?

If I get it I will acknowledge that it exists but since it is development related I'm not sure I can write a decent review about it.
Maybe the "1   Preparing a Minimalistic Software Development Environment for OS/2" article will be something I can follow.

Thanks for the information.

I just got this yesterday:

Hi Pete.

I don't know/remember what used to be PAF, can you post some link?

Thanks.

Hi

I will apreciate if someone with the IBM DDK can generate some binaries to test it on cWarp. I really do not care if those are from an older version, I just need them to be freeware for my experiment.

According to what I had researched SCREEN01.SYS , TIMER0.SYS, TESTCFG.SYS source code is on IBM DKK, if someone has sometime to compile those and send it over me (binaries only) I will apreciate it.

Regards

Hi

I found this on the Google+ Social network: OS/2 Lab Notes« Software Engineering Magazine!

It is not been released yet, but he posted this on Google+:

Quote
Focusing on new projects, the »OS/2 Lab Notes« feature new material, exclusively. Nothing is reprinted. All articles are »fresh from the lab«, although they do rely on a massive base of information derived from practical programming partly dating back many years. Anyway, no reprints, all material is published the first time. This also is true for program sources accompanying the magazine's articles which were formerly closed. They become an open, freely usable source now.

Some sources, especially those of drivers, file systems, etc, date well back to 1992. The latest file from WorkplaceShell programming is from 2014. The older sources mainly serve documentary purposes, anyway. Emphasis is put on the new projects.

We will update the list of articles in preparation so far shortly to give a better insight into the nature of the material the »OS/2 Lab Notes« will offer. 

Just a heads up. I'm not affiliated with this material or his author in any kind of way.

Regards

Hi

We used to have a discussion about it last year.
I think that the points in your article are a good topic for discussion.

Hi

There are also some open source projects that I consider that should be taken notice when trying to produce OS/2 clone alternatives.
If I'm based on the OS/2 components architecture I think it is good to see the source code of this projects and check what can it be re-used.

- OS/2 Kernel:
* OS2Ldr - OS/2 Loader, there are some articles and samples on how to create an clone loader.

- CPI - Control Program Interface.
* OS2Linux - has some functions available
* OSFree - OSFree Project generated some of the forwarder's DLLs of this component.

- Presentation Manager
* OSFree - OSFree grabbed things from FreePM.

- SOM
* somFree - It was not created or ported to OS/2.
* NOM - Was a SOM replacement project created by Netlabs.

- Workplace Shell
* XWorkplace - Some WPS classes replacement and improvements.
* Several open source WPS Classes.

There are some other projects that are not open source, but has the source code available:
- OS/2 Kernel:
* QSInit - OS/2 Loader - Source code available - Free for Non commercial use.
* SCREEN01.SYS, PRINT01.SYS, KBDBASE.SYS, CLOCK01.SYS, RESOURCE.SYS - Source code is on the IBM DDK, but the source code can not be shared (only privately improved). Binaries can be freeware for any use.

But remember that some of this are only "half-baked" projects and was not completed.  This are the ones that came to my mind right now, there my be other out there.

Hi Rick.

Welcome to the OS2World forums.

My interest is to promote any open source software project that will benefit the OS/2-eCS community.
There may not be funding, but we do as possible to try to organize the OS/2-eCS resourced and make them public for the benefit of the community. If you have interest on knowing something about the platform just post the question on the forums, it happens from time to time that there are is not a direct answer but sometimes the collaborative thinking allow us to find workarounds.

We tried to document as much as possible on the EDM/2 wiki, that site remains as the most important site for development knowledge on this platform. Other kind of OS/2 knowledge I'm trying to document it on the OS2World Wiki.

I'm not a developer so I have limited skills on this area. My way of thinking about the continuity of OS/2 in the long term future is to try to grab little things from OS/2 and clone them as open source and test that it keep working on the OS/2 platform (trying not to break compatibility). I think that sometimes planning super big projects (without having high budgets) produce too much stress and people just dump out the idea because the lack of short term deliverable. So, I prefer when people do little things, even if the first version is not stable enough. But that little things can be added up to other things to produce a bigger things, and with time even bad open source code can be improved.

I wish you luck with your project and I'm here to help on whatever is on my hands.

Regards.

Hi.

I can no longer find "Drv16 & Drv32" for download on the webpage. http://88watts.net/software.html

Does anybody know where it can be downloaded? Are those included on other package?
