Utilities / Re: XDF disk extractor

I'd suggest rereading http://www.os2museum.com/wp/the-xdf-diskette-format/ in particular how there is a disk image hidden in the second FAT that gets loaded if no driver and how the missing 3 sectors are really missing but marked as bad. At least if I'm following along correctly. Michal is pretty good with this stuff.

2Valery, https://efbe.musca.uberspace.de/ is Franks build machine, he builds from the official sources and targets OS/2 and is where I was pointed to by the OW developers, mostly Frank, a couple of years ago. Steven also works on the official tree and periodically applies OS/2 fixes and has done some work to support high memory amongst other stuff IIRC. I have no idea about the source on Netlabs or where it originated but Franks server is the go to place for semi-official OS/2 builds based on the daily snapshots

About OpenWatcom, the version on Github is a fork. One of the developers got impatient with the review process etc and wanted to focus on 64bit and forked the code, he doesn't care about OS/2 as far as I know. Really they should have agreed to using different versioning.

It's easy to publish something on Hobbes. Download the README.TEMPLATE from /pub/incoming, adjust the lines that need adjusting, rename it to the same name as your package, with txt rather then zip as a suffix and use ftp to upload both the zip and txt files to /pub/incoming. Best to stick to lower case as well.

Thank you, Dave.  Doing so now.  It will have two executables:

Code: [Select]
os2\xdflibsf.exe
win32\xdflibsf.exe

What other files should I add to it?  A readme.txt, etc?

Readme and a license at least.

You might want to also look at OpenWatcom for a compiler, Borland is old, doesn't support certain things easily and I don't think it works as a cross compiler.

Yea, I misread the info on Hobbes about the one version of mtools having XDF reading capability, it doesn't.

Might need a def file to go along with it. The important part would be
Code: [Select]
NAME    TEST   NOTWINDOWCOMPATassuming your program is named test.exe.

Interesting, going to be a lot of data to go through :) Still not sure about the need to unpack XDF files.
Someone did suggest the diunpack program which is referenced here, https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/QEMU/OS2WarpV3_guest. Search for fastkick141.zip on the net.

Other then on the first few boot disks, most of the files are compressed. Couldn't get too fancy on a 386 with compression though. Use unpack.exe to decompress them.
I take it you're using an ISO. Wouldn't be easier to just examine the disk images in OS2IMAGE rather then the floppy images?

mtools.exe seems to run fine here. I take it you have libc installed? The symlinks won't work from cmd.exe.
The console window API should be similar to windows. If you have the toolkit installed, there is an example program, consolio which creates a full screen console.

There's a couple of other utilities to deal with xdf disks on Hobbes, http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/h-search.php?sh=1&button=Search&key=xdf&stype=all&sort=type_name&dir=%2F a port of mtools and another virtual disk I believe.
Note that A: and B: are hardwired to the physical floppies and can't be used for other things so we're limited to C:-Z:

Go to http://wiki.netlabs.org/index.php/Mailinglists, subscribe to the community mailing list and ask nicely for a logon on the list is one way.

One way, take one down? eg ifconfig lan1 down, then you can bring it back up with ifconfig lan1 up not sure what the wireless adapter is called. Maybe listed in \mptn\bin\setup.cmd or such.
Probably do it with a route command as well, but don't know how.
