Hi All
Had a few days break last week in St. Leonards-On-Sea (town adjoining Hastings - 1066 and all that) where I spent the formative years of my childhood during the early 1960's.
When my wife saw the sign in the attached image - which is in public view on the cliff top warning rail on Hastings West Hill next to the castle - she burst out laughing and said "Now I understand your political views".

I had a brain fart, it was getpid(). Added the include and it compiled. For modern code, it rejected GCC 9.2.0 as too old, so far only an include needed
Hi Jan-ErikWould he agree to that someone sign a NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement)
and either let that person remove the code or himself if we'd scramble money to do it?
At a later stage it would be interesting if Gpf Rexx could work with ooRexx 5.x
I think I contacted the author long time ago. If memory serves me correctly, the issue was that the source code of GpfRexx contains the scramble procedure of any work created with that tool. That will mean that you can de-compile any software created GpfRexx if the author releases the source code. I think he does not want to have any kind of problems with that.
Maybe with a NDA, if someone gets the source code, to open source it will be required not to include that scramble procedure and maybe change the software in a way that the scramble code is customized by any software author.

Hello Mentore.
Thanks for that. So, it means that "GpfRexx" is now "AS IS" Freeware, with no support from it's author (logically). That's good.
I have that the last version is this one:
- https://hobbesarchive.com/Home/Download?path=/Hobbes/pub/os2/dev/proglang/rexx/GpfRexx_1-2c.zip
Let me know any correction.
Thanks
Perhaps copy make_i386_sysv_elf_gas.S to make_i386_sysv_aout_gas.S, change the cmake.lists file or whatever file is needed to adjust to assemble make_i386_sysv_aout_gas.S instead of make_i386_sysv_elf_gas.S and hopefully can just remove the unknown pseudo-ops to get it to assemble. Might have to change the .section types too, forget the specifics right now.
Hello.As long as we can't fix the memory issues (4GB border), everything else is more or less useless. And I doubt we ever get this one fixed.
I guess that just as USB 3 or UEFI was a blocker to run OS/2, I guess this is our new blocker. Not a blocker to run OS/2 on hardware, but to have modern software compiled on it.

Hello
Yes, again, the typical thread for brainstorming about the future of OS/2 and ArcaOS.
On Dec of 2023 I sent the attached wish list document to Lewis based on past discussions.
Today ArcaOS is running on UEFI and finally has some language localizations like German, Spanish, and Russian.
It seems to me that the top requirements from the perspective of the OS are still:
1) Modern web browser
2) Wifi Driver.
What do you think it is missing or what had changed from 2023's wishlist to today?
On the other hand, what else can it be interesting to do as a community?
Regards
I've just released v1.09.00. See https://sourceforge.net/projects/lcmd-git/files/
So how does one upload to Hobbes?
I just downloaded cadaver and tried to connect to hobbesarchive.com and was not successful.
XWorkplace v1.0.17 is now available.
libgomp is AFAIK a library for optimizing multithreading programs. That's certainly not an easy port to do.
