Is the attached file FBZX.SVG a 144x144 icon file of FBZX?

Edit: yes, it is. Converted to PNG online. Probably too detailed for 40x40 or smaller as-is, but perhaps usable for 128x128 and/or 80x80. So this may be an example of having to use a different (part of an original) image for a *.ICO icon file and a *.PNG icon file. Unavoidable.

Not sure if we have got native software to convert SVG files to e.g. PNG?

F (F.EXE)

"Solved". Perhaps reported earlier: F v4.75 has an own simple F.ICO, which may have to be assigned to the WPProgram object explicitly.

Updated and new icon files for Njam, the "full-featured cross-platform pac-man like game written in C++ using SDL library" by Gianfilippo Cimmino.

I added a new, slightly better looking size 40x40 and sizes 20x20, 16x16. The size, in bytes, of the existing icon size 32x32 image is reduced.

eCS 1.2-style folder icons are included too, because an user may install at least 2 Njam objects: full-screen, and windowed (documented -w switch).

Unverified VAC3 FixPaks link as a contribution, FWIW:

Code: [Select]
ftp://service.software.ibm.com/ps/products/visualagecpp/fixes/v30os2/english-us/fixpak8
IIRC I do insert an extra, undocumented reboot before installing CTD308.ZIP, IIRC/2 to avoid a possible error while updating a *DOODLE* sample.

Yes, but not to be able to reboot. SOM.DLL can still be found in x:\OS2\DLL, according to your earlier dump of ArcaOS directories here. EDM/2 was mentioned earlier, and has a more detailed wiki: https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php/OS/2_Tips_%26_Tricks#Visual_Age_for_C.2B.2B_-_Installation_problems

Perhaps your remarks should be appended to that wiki. Toolkit included first, at least w.r.t. SOM.

Thanks for the more on-topic reviews.

Shut The Box (link to some online version) is also known as Klappenspiel, Klappbrett, Klappbox, Klikk Klakk, Blitz, Bakarat, Canoga, Klackers, Batten Down the Hatches, Kingoball, Trictrac, Cut Throat, Fork Your Neighbor, and Jackpot.

Unverified link for the mentioned file MLSHUT.EXE: MLSHUT.ZIP @ http://cd.textfiles.com/powerpakgold/GAMEMISC/, FWIW.

VisualAge? I had issues trying to install it (3.0), would never complete installation after the initial reboot.

Edit the LIBPATH in CONFIG.SYS before the reboot, to move the DLL directories (plural) of the OS back in front of the outdated DLLs of VAC++. Or edit CONFIG.SYS afterwards if you've forgotten that, by booting to a prompt and becoming friends with e.g. TEDIT to fix the LIBPATH order.

The DOS game Death Rally/[url] has a 32x32 Windows icon file but it's dark, not great and similar alternatives are too detailed and too dark.

Carambole Classique (BILJDEMO.EXE)

"Solved". The icon, again almost too detailed, represents the goal of such a game quite good. Hit at least three cushions with your white ball before having hit both other balls. Being too detailed is not a complaint, FWIW. Designers of 80x80 and 128x128 may frequently notice a lack of details. It's not always easy to keep all sizes in mind.

I'm running out of off-topic messages, for one because often there's no good, or no iconic, original or alternative icon...

Lingo (LINGO.EXE)

"Solved". The attached file, almost with too many details, is based on some tv-screenshot.

CityDisc xxxxxxxxx (CITYDISC.EXE)

"Solved". Offline map technology of the early 90s. Two rather country-specific icons for Holland (capital and the seat of government only).

Depending on the goal, maybe almost hidden text can be added to ZIP files (without an executable-shaped prefix) instead.

Code: [Select]
DIR > TEXT
ZIP TEXT1.ZIP TEXT
COPY TEXT /B + TEXT1.ZIP /B TEXT2.ZIP
CLS
UNZIP TEXT2.ZIP

To extract, stop reading when you've found the original header of the ZIP file (if the file TEXT doesn't contain the same characters).

2) Is there any way to include the bldlevel information to an executable that does not have it?

HELLO.C:

Code: [Select]
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
printf("Hello, world!\n");
return 0;
}

TEST.CMD (requires ICC.EXE):

Code: [Select]
/* Not tested */
CALL CharOut 'APPEND.ME',"@#os2world.com:0.00#@##1##Fri Sep 06 07:08:09 2019 secret::::2::@@ One and one and one is tree"||D2C(0)
CALL CharOut 'APPEND.ME'
'@ICC HELLO.C'
'@LXLITE HELLO.EXE'
'@COPY HELLO.EXE /B + APPEND.ME /B Hello2.EXE'
'@CLS'
'@BLDLEVEL.EXE HELLO2.EXE'
'@HELLO2.EXE'
EXIT

If you are allowed to touch the EXE, believe it's important, and perhaps have an undo-script in case the compiled code is broken. Now, or e.g. after using RC.EXE to append an icon to a PM executable later.

Text2PDF (drop target) (TEXT2PDF.CMD)

"Solved", by not using the Rexx front-end anymore. A basic and generic PDF icon of TXT2PDF for a.o. Win-OS/2 was too simple.
