LOL, so there's no password... :P

I guess the new version isn't really worth releasing then. Support for spaces is a missing feature (or perhaps even an Info-ZIP bug), instead of the old FCrackZip not being up-to-date with our Zip 2.32+ & UnZip 5.52+ passwords anymore.

Let's remember that using a space in a ZIP password makes it slightly harder to guess the password, for one because not all crackers do support spaces in a ZIP file's password.

7z x fcrackzip-1.0.tar.gz
7z x fcrackzip-1.0.tar
unzip fcrackzip-1.0 (as such no ZIP file, looks like a damaged text file, results quoted below):

It may be some Unix archive type, but it's a fact that fcrackzip-1.0 asks for a TEXT1.TXT password... :o

http://oldhome.schmorp.de/marc/data/fcrackzip-1.0.tar.gz seems to be protected by a password. A programmer's joke? https://github.com/hyc/fcrackzip may be an alternative source.

Quote
- many compatibility enhancements and bugfixes suggested by Robert Meszaros.
- various small bugfixes noted by Jeff LaMarche and Max Alekseyev.
- updated to current gcc, autoconf, automake.
- added a TARGET_CPU=0 mode, for the C-only version.

It's possible to use a space in Zip 2.32's passwords, but the older FCrackZip (v0.2.4) doesn't support this. Test case:

zip -e test.zip c:\config (enter the password "a b", 3 characters)
fcrackzip -v --length 3-3 test.zip (verbose, known length is 3 characters)

It it's easy to test if a password with spaces is supported ("many compatibility enhancements"), then can someone please try that? If it's too hard, or it still doesn't support a space, then it's probably not worth a release. I don't need it at the moment, I just gave it a try with a stable Zip/2 version and noticed it didn't work.

Please note that the long "possible pw found"-list is not the problem. The problem is that the list doesn't contain any space, and the argument -p a b won't work (nor -p "a b").

Setup & Installation / Installing eCS 1.2, without CD or network
« on: April 07, 2017, 06:04:59 pm »
Situation: eCS 1.2 is installed. There's more than one partition, but no CD-drive. Try to pretend that, after preparations, only the HD works,

Is there an easy way to "FORMAT C:" and continue with an install of eCS?

"Easy" excludes a network install, or a install using some USB drive. Just formatting and a restore won't do, because restored files may contain corrupted files. As such the system still sort of works, so it is possible to copy an eCS install CD from USB to D: and use D: instead of S:.

No other solutions, please. The hardware (IDE controller) may be broken too and the disk was too large, for example, so installing a working desktop CD drive isn't a guaranteed alternative for an "easy" attempt. I hope that there's some eCS install phase which can be started after the original format of the original install.

Again, it has to be easy, and basicly HD-only. Like unzipping an XCOPY'ed install CD to D:, FORMAT C: (or a full DELTREE *), and execute D:\OS2IMGS\DISK1\INSTALL.CMD to continue a regular eCS install after formatting C:.

Installing the extension twice didn't seem to work, so I've used a restored profile which uses the original  en_US in names of the path and contains translated files in the directories of CALENDER.DTD and LIGHTNING.DTD files. So, without a modified XPI file and without having removed the UI language en_US:

1. Download and install Lightning/2, including a restart of SM/TB
2. Download and unzip a matching, translated Win32 release (*DE* instead of *en_US*, for example)

3. Go to the directory of Win32's CALENDAR.DTD file
4. ZIP -r CA.ZIP * (LZH, for example, may or will fail)
5. Go to the directory of Win32's LIGHTNING.DTD file
6. ZIP -r LI.ZIP *

7. UNZIP CA.ZIP in the directory (long, mentioned above) where OS/2's CALENDER.DTD file is installed, overwriting files
8. UNZIP LI.ZIP in the directory (long, mentioned above) where OS/2's LIGHTNING.DTD file is installed, overwriting files

I guess en_US is no problem as long as it matches the file CHROME.MANIFEST, and/or it doesn't know that "Schadenfreude" actually is DE instead of en_US. If you haven't installed Lightning yet, then creating a new OS/2 XPI, mentioned earlier in this thread, is probably a better option. Do not forget to create a profile backup. You may need it.

The original functionality isn't that clear, but it allows SM/TB to e.g. understand Microsoft Lookout appointments, and you probably can download an internet's ICS file which could contain ArcaOS-related events, and so on.

edit {e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}\chrome.manifest replacing en-US with your new locale

FYI, I haven't removed any en_US settings of the distributed en_US SeaMonkey, and then it seems to work without editing chrome.manifest and by using the en-US directories. Seems: my number of appointments is one, so I'm not a power user of calendar apps. Nevertheless I'll compose a new and improved xx_XX XPI file.

To change the language (of mainly the UI) of Lightning v4.0.8, is overwriting files in the directories (and subdirectories) of both CALENDAR.DTD and LIGHTNING.DTD all it takes, or is there more to it?

So far it seems to work under an unchanged EN-US parent directory, by using a translated Win32 v4.0.8 source distribution.

Great, thank you. Downloaded, installed, and deleted the GCC2*.DLL file which was required by the previous OS/2 release...

I haven't looked at Toolame yet. it'll be a couple of days. Ping me towards the weekend in case I get distracted  :)

Take it easy, I haven't even looked at WHATSNEWs. An updated TooLAME could be fine too, because an alledged 40% speed gain isn't that important. The main page of TwoLAME does mention that librarr indeed:

Quote
Features added to TwoLAME:

Fully thread-safe
Static and shared library (libtwolame)
API very similar to LAME’s (for easy porting)
Frontend supports wider range of input files (using libsndfile)
automake/libtool/pkgconfig based build system
Written in Standard C (ISO C99 compliant)



If I really have to ping you, then I'll link you and this image to a talking arse... :)

Is there any reason to not just use lame?

Apparently. As such it's a MP2 spin-off of LAME.

Quote from: Wikipedia (edited)
TooLAME is a MP2 audio encoder written primarily by Mike Cheng. While there are innumerable MP2 encoders, TooLAME is well-known and widely used for its particularly high audio quality. It has been unmaintained since 2003, but is directly succeeded by the TwoLAME code fork (the latest version, TwoLAME 0.3.13, was released January 21, 2011)

Quote from: Dave Yeo
I can port twolame later if you need it.

If I'd really, really need it, then perhaps I would have asked for a port instead of a lazy port. So far it was worth keeping and installing it. Despite of the required, missing old GCC DLL. Hopefully just processing the makefile is about all it takes to obtain a more up-to-date EXE, without any extraordinary efforts. The latest TooLAME/2 was uploaded to Hobbes in 2001.

Can a user of GCC please have a go at a lazy port (no changes or easy changes, if any, only) TooLAME (old) or TwoLAME (newer)?

There is a TooLAME for OS/2 (v0.2i), but that version is so old that it requires an usual GCC2*.DLL. This GCC DLL can be found in packages like 2007's MozTools, but not in common, more modern GCC DLL distributions.

I recommend using my LCSS (Logical Config.Sys Sort) program

Both the installer and the Rexx app don't support all possibly dropped HPFS/JFS filenames. The Rexx app can produce a SYS1003 without an updated original file, or a damaged original file if e.g. the user repaired the installer's parameter setting of LCSS.CMD.

PMGPI.DLL can be TRACEd, FWIW. I'm not supposed to tell you if the Trace Facility will log all desired details.

Applications / Re: Firefox 38.8.0 - userchrome.css and UI settings...
« on: March 24, 2017, 12:00:23 pm »
There's obviously a bug somewhere as FF should touch the file every time it starts up/shuts down.
There's a issue on the subject at github where the preference is mentioned.

I'm not sure about it being a bug. A proper Y/N dialog is missing. So you cannot answer N excplicitly, while possibly experiencing Doug's memory issues. If you don't want to give the only button a try, then closing the (poorly designed) dialog is the only option. But closing doesn't have to mean "no, and touch the file". Closing means "I don't want to execute the only option, smashed in my face, now".

A sticking setting may be easier than remembering the settings to restore a different UI language, but I'll consider touching it. Finding the variable path to the file isn't that hard.

I may start liking the ICT way of answering questions, with "something" that "somehow" can be found "somewhere", in a huge collection of "internet stuff"...
