Applications / Re: Converting .BOO to PDF ?
« on: April 04, 2019, 11:11:39 pm »
My issue is that I also don't remember anymore which was the software to open .boo files and if it was freely available on the internet.

.boo files are IBM Bookmanager files , which can also be read with the free IBM Library Reader

Another interesting channel on Youtube in this regard is that of os2memories (David Barnes):

Programming / Re: VAC3.65 / 3.08 inline assembly? How to insert INT 3?
« on: December 21, 2017, 07:57:08 pm »
Topic says it all. I do not find any information to insert a breakpoint INT 3 in my C source code which should be compiled with VAC3.65. Sounds simple but obviously I fed the wrong words into the search engine.

Insert byte 0xCC for INT 3 (breakpoint)

Tom
The first four lines are

route -fh
arp -f
if config lo 127.0.01
ifconfig lan0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 metric 1 mtu 1500

There are the 7 REMmed line for lan1 to lan7

Final line is

ipgate on

Paul

What is in your setup.cmd is incomplete: there is no route to be taken. Add the line I mentioned in my previous post (where you fill in the IP-address of your router). Place it above the line with ipgate.

You say that ipgate is ON. You might want to change that into off .

Also Roberto is right: your router and your PC cannot have the same IP-address, so you have to change the address on the line with ifconfig lan0 .

Paul,

Could you please post the contents of the file setup.cmd , that can be found in \mptn\bin ?
It should contain a line like

Code: [Select]
route add default IP-address-of-your-router -hopcount 1
Alternatively, you could use DHCP instead of setting a fixed IP-address.

Storage / Re: HPFS and JFS internal definition specifications
« on: June 02, 2017, 04:30:01 pm »
Does anybody know if Gordon Letwin is still alive?  He wrote the HPFS specification and is from Indianapolis, IN where I'm from! :-)

He is born in july 1952, so probably still alive (he was in 2011).

Information about his original HPFS can be found in the patent:

www.google.com/patents/EP0416445A2?cl=en

In later years (Warp 3ish) Doug Azzarito has also worked on HPFS.

The DLL is a private library, apparently used by Alessandro in all his projects:

I expect an announcement shortly from Lewis if he hasn't dropped dead from overwork. It's hard to get an installer working right.

There is an announcement from Lewis Rosenthal on the Arca Noae website, titled "ArcaOS 5.0 to launch this week" :

Multimedia / Re: USB 10.216 and youtube videos
« on: March 25, 2017, 05:39:54 pm »
Tom,

We have two usbmon.exe files on our boxes.
c:\os2\usbmon.exe (19,477  25-18-05) is as you say the usb printing monitor.
c:\os2\boot\usbmon.exe (51,233  10-09-04) is the monitor checking when usb removables are attached or removed.

Both of them are started from the 'Startup' folder.

Ivan,

You are right, of course. But since Roberto only mentioned that killing usbmon.exe from \os2 had any effect to his problem, I limited my answer to that one.

« on: March 25, 2017, 01:16:23 pm »
I recently installed this version of USB 10.216. And the problem with the videos persisted, I have to press the on-off wifi to continue watching the videos.
But if I kill the process u: \ os2 \ usbmon.exe and boot the firefox works perfect.
In my opinion this program interferes with the driver.
Saludos

Roberto,

usbmon.exe is not part of usbdrv216.zip (just check the contents of that zipfile).

On my system (eCS 2.2 beta 2) that file has a datestamp of 25-08-2005, and bldlevel says

Code: [Select]
Build Level Display Facility Version 6.12.675 Sep 25 2001
(C) Copyright IBM Corporation 1993-2001

Vendor:          IBM

which suggests that it is supplied by IBM, and has something to do with USB printers.

Regarding the problem of making the floppies from the images on a windows machine.  There is an answer to that - EMT4WIN.  Unfortunately it is a bit too large to attach here and Daniel no longer has it on his site (moved on to win 8 and 10 but the OS/2 programs are still there).
