So how it runs inside a VDM?

You are getting sloppy with your silence tagIn the German forum I only posted the download links which will you direct back to OS/2 World's forum. Here it was message #13196 of the thread (http://www.os2world.com/forum/index.php/topic,1374#msg13196) started by Dave.
I think it was my thread where I searched for translators for language packages for SM 2.42. It got a victim of the server crash in September
Andreas has published a german version of Lightning 4.7.8 in the german OS/2 forum, but I haven't tested it: http://www.os2.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1200
Can you please provide more specifics instead of saying its based on buggy development tools ?I don't want to bore here somebody with numerous links to bug trackers. People with working webbrowsers can simply use a search engine of their choice.
We have current GCC compilers for exampleBut the examples are unfortunately missing here. Speaking about GNU's GCC there's no mention about OS/2 in the current supported releases (6.4 and 7.2).
and LIBC libraries are being updated.Everybody can check on own system how "updated" the \OS2\DLL\LIBCM.DLL or LIBCS.DLL files are? Perhaps only you have a C Library Reference with additional updates to prove your claims.
Who knows how many things I've missed as I'm not following development as much as I used to.Whatever, for further Mozilla development the host build environment can be migrated to an OS/2 64-bit environment which is available (Windows Server 2008 R2 for example). The support for 32-bit target architectures has not been removed until now. But I'm not a spokesman of Mozilla. The current OS/2 fork seems to rely on too many buggy tools. There were no important OS/2-specific code improvements in last years at all. Addionally the newly introduced bugs become innumerable.
They also recommend 16 GBs of address space to compile now, so basically 64 bit platforms. I think that is due to Rust. Eventually we're going to be left behind in a 64bit world
(The TM/2 files I know about were outdated.)They may have more real (untouched) dates.
That cannot be the explanation. The instruction preceding the trap is also an SSE2 instruction ("MOVD XMM0,EAX"). Or will the failing location point "behind" the failing instruction ?MOVD for moving double words was already supported with MMX. With SSE support it's possible moving double words from an 128 bit wide register to EAX or somewhere else. But movd is definitely the wrong instruction. Additionally caching and alignment should be observed. SSE2 makes it easier with additional instructions for this tasks.
oslexam.dll (from IBM Works) is still available on Petr MikulĂk's page: http://www.sci.muni.cz/~mikulik/os2/zdroje/oslexam.dll. Dont use lexam.dll from epm_spel.zip. It's outdated (package is from 1992) and not made for EPM 6.03b.... unless you're using OS/2 1.3. But otherwise it will work with older dictionaries.
The most recent dictionaries come from Netscape 4.6.1. Note that they have the extension .dic (not the older one, .dct). Just a few months before IBM closed the download page, I had downloaded them all. (Quite recent ones were also available on the LEO archive, but the OS/2 part is down.)I'm note sure at this point. I would at least check for each specific language against the dictionaries that can be obtained via TM/2 and its fixes (ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/ps/products/translationmanager/fixes/). I don't believe that even OpenTM has more recent stuff somewhere. But it could be still interchangeable.
Not that not all dicts work. E.g. I remember that the turkish dict traps EPM. The UK dict should work. Some features may not work like proposing alternative words. This disadvantage applies for deutsch2 (after the German spelling reform), but not for the older deutsch.dic.It sounds like the thesaurus issues with some dictionary files from Netscape Communicator.
I planned to upload the dictionaries to Hobbes, at least shortly before the first beta of NEPMD 2.00 will be made available. (For a recent version just compile the recent NEPMD sources, IBMCPP 3.08 or CSet/2 is required, or send a private mail to me: forename.lastname at web.de) It contains oslexam.dll and has code to switch dictionaries since a quite long time.Which toolkit version is required?
Hi all,I don't know about Injoy's features but I doubt that it can provide NAT for the LAN. But it can probably do for a subset of the IP networking stuff.
my home OS/2 server has three network interfaces. Currently I'm using just two of them, with Injoy in the middle acting as firewall and providing NAT for the LAN.
I would like now to use the third network interfaces to create a second LAN where I would confine the increasing number of "Internet Of Things" devices around.For a second (dedicated) LAN an additional physical network infrastructure etc. is required. Static routes will not help much. I don't know what you want to achieve? More reliability or higher theoretical bandwith? A working solution will require the analysis of the common network traffic and the used protocols. At the next step you should define some requirements or usage scenarios.
I got the impression some people think the DDK is mystical well hidden secret code no one had access to without paying a truck load of gold in advance. It isn't. It was free to download. At least at the time I got my copy. Of course registration was required and you have to accept the usual lawyers bullshit speech before which most of it I forgot the second I pressed the accept button. Though I'm pretty sure it isn't allowed to share the DDK sources in the public.
Thanks Andreas. FT.cmd worked as expected. I just wanted to turn a batch of zip files into "Compressed File" file type and it worked ok.I would recommend a name for the file type that would be more logical. Typical Zip archived files cannot be compressed files. Zip is a container format that can contain a compressed file or even more of them. It can also contain uncompressed (stored) files or a mixture of different compression methods. It's easy to create a simple text file with only 10 times "0" and make a Zip archive of it. The resulting archive file will be larger than the compressed content. "Compressed file" would fit better to all this *.z, *.Z (hard to distinguish under OS/2), *.gz or *.bz2 stuff - or generally to all file formats that use some kind of compression (so most of all image or audio files).
NetDrive does this as well, and if you want/need the other functionality it provides (such as mapping to local SAMBA & Win shares) I find it to be the more consistent and it does not require you to load an IFS.Sorry I cannot follow at this point. NDFS32.IFS (the NetDrive for OS/2 Installable File System Driver) needs to be loaded and it's an IFS for sure.
Netsurf lacks an ECMAScript interpreter so you are forced to use mobile versions of most major sites.
And that's not the only problem. It also lacks the support for native text encodings. Without an useable C++ development environment there's no hope for something more modern or advanced. Why should an incomplete and slow port of the Qt framework change the situation? On the other hand it's possible to use something written in C that will perform much better under OS/2-based systems. Maybe like the NetSurf (http://www.netsurf-browser.org/) for RISC OS.
Pale Moon is also buggier than most people realise
I have a directory full of *.zip files (not text files) and I just want to assign the "Zip File" file type to them. Instead of associating the *.zip files to a program, I want to assign the "*.zip" files on that directory to the "Zip file" type.
My issue is that I only know how to assign "File Types" to a file one by one and I want to assign it in batch.
