General Discussion / Re: More on new OS/2 developments
« on: May 30, 2014, 12:43:14 am »
Hi Lewis,

do you have also any news about Joachim and/or Roderick?

Do you have access to the eCS source files repository? Steven surely has.

What is your agreement with Mensys or its successor?

I support any change to a better maintainable system, as it was announced.

Programming / Re: Animated Mouse Pointer - Need Development Help

BTW: Christian has released his more recent projects under the GPL version 2.

About progress: I found Christian's files.txt, in which he gives hints about the build process. I tried it a first time with VAC 3.08 instead of IBMCPP 2.1 and it fails, of course.  (I have both available.) Also the toolkit version is involved.

Let's see if it's more work to switch compiler and toolkit or to activate the older environment. Additionally, tools need refreshing, as Christian already described.

What remains is that

1) The file wpamptrsrc-20100704.zip apparently doesn't include the entire sources.

2) The OSS license of this package is LPGL and not GPL.

3) It links a closed source lib. for NLS.

4) It looks to me as if both Christian's and eco's methods for NLS can't be used simultaneously.

5) I wonder that Christian hasn't used his Hypertext/2 for IPF file creation, for which I created the version 2.00 as a large update with many fixes. Apparently AMPtrs was released before HText.

Thanks Andreas. I had sent you the source code to your email.
Received. I'll try it in the next days, hopefully. Apparently Christian used TVFS, but that should not be a greater problem.

About the license: I didn't know that it was someone of the eco developers, who added the LPGL to the code. Comparing it with Martin's version made that clear.

Sources
from Eugene Gorbunoff, direct link
.

The zip file is not complete. At least the files of the subdirs are
missing. It contains Christian's OSS license but unfortunately
requires eco libs that are not OSS, AFAIK. It looks to me impossible
to release stuff like that with an OSS license, even when the changes
might be useful:

From the contained file whatsnew.txt:

14/07/2010 Yuri A.Prokushev
- resource dll build fixed
- GPL version

19.10.2009 Yuri A.Prokushev
- WarpIn packaging
- LANGE support

14.10.2009 Dmitry A.Steklenev
- The sources now can be compiled via VAC 3.0 and 3.6.
- The size of the stack of the executables is increased. This prevents
  crash of the aniedit2.exe.
- Prevents permanently disabling the "Edit" button in case user try to
  edit an animated pointer.
- The properties notebook now have "merlin" style.
- Prevents of emphasis of NULL container record during context menu
  activation.
- Fixed incorrect allocation of the HANDLERDATAINTERNAL structure.
- Optimized container drawing in the demo mode.
- Fixed "hide pointer" feature.
- Removed a lot of unused variables.
- All structures are aligned to 32-bit boundary and all
  DosEnterCritSec/DosExitCritSec calls are removed.

Thanks Paul. I just sent it to you e-mail.

I have most likely the same dev env as Christian (mainly VAC 3.08). It
should not be much effort for me to compile AMPtr with access to the
sources.

Internet / Re: Mozilla Warpin installers + applications

So where can I always get the latest build by Dave? Hobbes? Bitbucket (didn't find FF there)?

Dave has built SeaMonkey, Thunderbird and Lightning. He has uploaded it to ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/incoming/mozilla/.

Bitwise Works has built Firefox. For announcements see https://github.com/bitwiseworks/mozilla-os2/releases/.

Hardware / Re: eCS on an Acer Aspire One?
« on: March 25, 2014, 12:23:47 am »
It works.

Icons work as well as with Henk's WPSBKUP.EXE and WPSREST.EXE.

Apparently not: Some icons are missing in my test. Sorry, I won't test it further due to lack of time.

790
As I said, its main limitation is that it can't recreate setup string settings that WPTOOLS doesn't recognize.

IMO that isn't a limitation. Your app is able to handle specific icons. The only missing thing that comes to my mind is the XCenter setup string.

Also, until today it didn't support restoring custom icons, but I added that feature this morning (very experimentally so far) before importing the code. :P

Icons work as well as with Henk's WPSBKUP.EXE and WPSREST.EXE.

At least it's now in SVN and on the FTP site for people to play with if they need it.

Yes, but the announcement is missing.

791
> I never released it publicly before, as it's got significant limitations.

Could you be more specific?  objtools.exe and its REXX export facility looks as if it works well.

An option that I added to my own REXX tool to restore objects, is to replace paths. That would allow to recreate objects even if the program path has changed. That's a powerful option.

Why don't you release it now?

Storage / Re: Merge two JFS volumes
« on: March 15, 2014, 01:01:34 pm »
DFSee cannot neither merge, nor move, nor resize JFS volumes.

That's bad news - I thought Jan has implemented that in a newer version. Thanks for the info.

As Andi wrote: Simply copy the files over to the larger volume at first.

Use DFSee to delete the smaller volume and advance the larger volume's size.

Use LVM or DFSee to adjust the drive letter.

General Discussion / Re: What is European Software Solutions - XEU.com ?
« on: February 26, 2014, 08:35:58 pm »
The XEU.com team seems to be young and have presence on LinkedIn, so I hope we can have some synergy with the community.

The Mensys team concerned with eCS were 2 to 3 people. Which team do you await from the XEU team? I guess we have to live with one and an half manpower for that.
