The software is on hobbes now.

Thanks.

Hardware / Re: New hardware that works with ECS2.X

« on: February 15, 2013, 09:31:30 pm »

About an eCS-OS2 hardware information website, I was tempted to build one some time ago but I quit since I didn't found a good way on how to build it.

I don't wanted to re-invent the wheel and do something from scratch (because it will cost more time to maintain it) , but try to use an open source software to create that kind of site. The issue is that it can be something very static (like os2warp.be) and very custom build (like using a CMS like Joomla), or it can something too much flexible like a Wiki, and I wanted to have something in the middle.

I tried the Wiki approach and I think it was hard to make searches on it and I needed something more static to show the hardware lists by category.  Also, I wanted to lock the individual hardware pages to templates, and it was a little bit hard. On the other side I think it is a good idea to have a wiki style page on the "individual hardware page", so more information can be added by the community, and not like comments at the end of the page.

I even got authorization to use some of os2warp.be documentation. But at the end I stopped trying since it was too much work.

The OS2World wiki crashed with page, so also this is a reminder to me that I need to get it back.

If anybody wants to create a hardware information website I can collaborate, but I'm having fun this time with the EDM/2 wiki.

Applications / VisPro C++

« on: January 29, 2013, 05:11:46 pm »

Hi

I'm trying to get VisPro C++ V3.01 so I can upload it to hobbes. I got Dave Hock permission last year to turn their software freeware (AS IS).

I tried to get it from Mensys. http://shop.mensys.nl/catalogue/mns_VPC.html since they have it for free.
But I can not pass the payment option. It seems that you can not pay US$0 with Paypal

Can anybody help me to get it, and/or upload it to hobbes?

Thanks
Martin

Applications / Why Firefox for eCS-OS2 didn't went up from version 10?

« on: January 19, 2013, 11:45:18 pm »

Hi

I have this question since I didn't followed the mozilla OS/2 port forum/newgroups.

What was the technical limitation because the Firefox ports didn't went from version 10 to 11 and follow on?

Hi.

Maybe it will be interesting to know which are the hardware specs (mainboard/processor and Video card) that produce this display problem.

Nice. Roger added a "Completeness" page to see the progress of the project:
https://sourceforge.net/p/somfree/wiki/complete/

A windows port of it was released too.

Programming / somFree - Portable implementation of SOM

« on: January 12, 2013, 05:26:51 pm »

"A portable clean-room implementation of IBM's SOM. Includes DSOM capabilities with CORBA IDL and IIOP."
http://sourceforge.net/projects/somfree/

I'm not sure for how long was this project on SourceForge. But it looks it had been some activity recently (2013-01)

I don't know much about it, but I hope it can also help us to have a open source clone of SOM on our platform. The compiled files are only available for some *nix flavours, but maybe it can help us on the future.

It is an open source project under the LGPL V3 license.

UPDATE: I noticed the project was registered 4 days ago.  And the source code it says is from "Roger Brown's Toolkit"(LGPLv3)

Hi Ivan

Thanks for the heads up, I had been sick this days.

But the best way to send me news is using the "Submit an Article" from the main site under the "User Menu". (once you log-on to OS2World)
