Hello Mauro

I think you will get two answers:

1) I have installed those in ArcaOS 5.1 and I didn't have any kind of problems. I dont' have a Warp 4.52 or ArcaOS 5.0 at hand to try those, but my guess is that there is no problem.

2) The second answer you may get is if you really require those libraries. Do you have any application that uses those library?  Some may way say it is not necessary to update if everything is working fine.

Check the changelog, in my case, since it fixed some FOC (File Open Close window) memory leaks (Win Package), I think it is worthy to give it a try, specially in ArcaOS that uses it.

The decision is up to you. Take a backup/snapshot of the VMs.

Regards

thank you Martin.  in those guest machines everything seems to work as expected, unless in Winos2 it does not allow to install any Win software beacuse it claims "not enough memory - disk full".  The advice is in a Windows 3.11 frame

Applications / eCo software runtime packages

« on: December 13, 2024, 11:30:26 am »

Hi all, just read the Arca NOAE announcement about it.
https://www.arcanoae.com/resources/downloadables/eco-runtime/
Said that I have both ArcaOS 5.0 and OS2 4.52 guest installed in Virtualbox Windows11 and personalized as per my needs (Guest Additions, Dooble QT5, VLC, AVXCat, Lucide, OpenJDK, Openoffice exc....) do you think is recommandable to install those runtimes without causing any conflict on what already installed/configured?
Thank you

Hi mauro

You can find kcrypto.dll in this package http://www.os2site.com/sw/internet/openssl/old/openssl-0.9.8o-os2knix-20100602-runtime.zip

Regards

Pete

Thank you Pete, that link takes to a 404 page, however I could download the openssl-0.9.8zh zip package from bauxite.sakura site and finally find the file there.

@Martin/Neil :  I get same issue reported in the picture when attempting to connect to a ftp site which I handle in other host system, only difference it does not hang when select utf-8 code , just give same alert of directory not found.

BTW, kfw.exe runs also if KCRYPTO.DLL is in /usr/lib directory  .

In eComstation 2.1 x:\ecs\dll I found kcrypto.dll. Copied to ArcaOs x:\usr\local\lib and K File Wizard opens.

hi, any possibility you can share your kcrypto.dll here? I personally cannot find it from none of the mentioned software supposed to include it.
Thank you much

Hi

HobbesArchive is up here:
- http://hobbesarchive.com/Home/Download?path=/Hobbes/pub/os2/util/file/KFileWizard_1-1-0.zip

Regards

thank you Martin, the given URL on eCSoft2 site  https://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/os2/util/file/KFileWizard_1-1-0.zip was not accessible. Same for the OS2 OpenSSL by KO Myung-Hun which, then it can be installed as rpm package from netlabs rel repository, but as Mentore wrote here no KCRIPTO.dll present in it...

thank you, kcrypto.dll will also be useful, but my question was for downloading KFW itself, as HobbesArchive site isn't accessible anymore

hi all, sorry if I ask something already written here somewhere as this is the 21th page of the thread and not much easy to retrieve a specific indication; since I'm following the results of Dooble QT5 updates which has a reliable behavior on my OS2 Warp4.52 VM , like to learn where can I find its latest version, better if in rpm.
Thank you much meantime for the effort spent in this task, which by my side confirm is giving useful results.

Virtualization / Re: OS2Warp4.52 Guest Additions: mouse pointer has defective behavior

« on: January 25, 2024, 08:48:39 am »

Hi, since it seems not clear how try to solve directly by fixing video driver side, it would then be the case trying to force the pointer not changing shape when pass onto the icon (that is the moment that the issue happens).
Does anybody knows how to ?
Thank you

« on: January 25, 2024, 08:40:40 am »

Most probable reason for your issue is using an old BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD which had a small partition size limit. Later versions corrected this and Dani's driver always had no small drive limit

confirm this has fixed the issue in my case

not my case, desktop objects in DFSee 17 installation were correctly created on the desktop.
All I can say about is that I first provided the uninstallation of the previous version both by WarpIn and then deleting the DFSee directory in HOME:\TOOLS

Applications / [SOLVED]: DFSEE open source (17) not running on Warp4.52 Virtualbox guest

« on: January 16, 2024, 08:21:28 pm »

Hi mauro

Copy danis506.add and daniatap.flt to [BootDrive]:\os2\boot

Open [BootDrive]:\config.sys and add the following 2 lines

BASEDEV=DANIS506.ADD /!BIOS
BASEDEV=DANIATAP.FLT

then REM the start of these lines if they exist

BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD
BASEDEV=IBMATAPI.FLT
BASEDEV=IBMIDECD.FLT

Save config.sys

Reboot

Test DFSee


Regards

Pete

Ok Pete, it has worked!  Now we know that DFSee 17 (guess other software as well) needs DANIS506.ADD and DANIATAP.FLT to replace IBM1S506.ADD and IBMATAPI.FLT .
Thank you much
