 General Network Utilities http://en.ecomstation.ru/projects/gnu/ has an ARPScan function that does what you describe.

  If you have Netdrive you can assign a folder to be a drive. So you could assign drive U: to C:\Programs\FHS. Then add UNIXROOT=U: to CONFIG.SYS and you are good to go.

Neil,

  Hmmm... that sounds like what I was getting before the fix. I assume you added X:\vlc2\usr\local\lib to the LIBPATH per the README? If so, maybe there is a missing dll dependency or a codec? You can get info for the disc at Tools-> Codec Information. Might get a clue from that...

 Thanks for the links Andreas! Didn't know about yum-utils....

Martin,

  Try 'yum clean rpmdb', then 'yum check' again. The 'altered outside of yum' is a known cosmetic problem (that I wish they would fix soon - it looks very bad and is confusing). Also check for duplicate dll's in your libpath (Local System -> System Setup -> OS/2 Kernel -> System Paths -> choose 'Libpath' and click on the 'duplicates' button). If you find dll's in both your /usr/lib directory and in others, move the others out of your libpath. Reboot and try 'yum check' again.

Martin,

  I would start by doing 'yum reinstall coreutils', then try yum check again (after rebooting) and see if the error for coreutils goes away. If it does, try doing that for each package listed with an error. If it does not, report this on the Netlabs Yum bugtracker.

 Yes, I can play commercial DVD's with the new VLC and the fix. Using the DVD menu is definitely flakey. Try opening by Open File... and navigating to the drive and video file and playing directly, skipping the menu. That has worked for me on several occasions. I do have one video set (Lord of the Rings) that I can play but not watchable because it is out of sync and pixellated... maybe there are issues with our port of libdvdcss.

 This: http://www.os2site.com/sw/upgrades/upgrades.html is also a great page for updating Warp 4. The 14.104a kernel is there. Get the one 'safe for Pentium Pro' and SMP (in order to be able to use ACPI).

 Erich,

  As Andi B. notes, maybe you are using up all your shared memory? If you have the version 14.106 OS/2 kernel, you can try loading all the OpenOffice dll's into high memory using the script in the 'Extras' folder.

Erich,

  EDITENG.dll and XO.dll are both part of the OpenOffice package and should be located in your OpenOffice.4\program directory. If they are missing then something went wrong with your install. They are also dependent on gcc1.dll, gcc473.dll and libc066.dll. There is a great little app called PMDLL (at hobbes.nmsu.edu) that you can use to figure out these kind of things...

« on: February 19, 2015, 11:07:46 pm »
Erich,

  You could try Henk Kelder's Association Editor (Hobbes.nmsu.edu file assoed212.zip). From that you can add associations like *.*.*.zip or *.*.*.wpi etc. to your favorite Unzip program or WPI viewer.

 I've seen that problem using the 2.2 beta versions of ndpsmb.dll. Also happens with MP3 and WAV files. The 2.1 GA version works fine here. I'm attaching to an OS/2 Samba server.

Interestingly enough, the gs.exe in your zipped version of cups is not a symlink but a copy of gsos2.exe. I replaced it by a symlink and can now print the test page again. Still no luck printing from os/2, "filter failed"

  Strange.... gs.exe somehow got replaced in the zip process. If the test page prints, but apps don't, than the issue must be in the printer driver. I assume jobs show up in the CUPS queue. It might be interesting to try using the 'Generic Postscript Printer (Enhanced)' in Alex's PSPrint package and see if you get anything from that. If you do, then I would suspect the PPD file imported into PSPrint has directives not supported by PSPrint. Finding those directives is tricky, but can be done.

254
 One thing to be careful about.... there is the file \cups\bin\gs.exe that is a symlink to gsos2.exe. Unless your ghostscript is setup exactly like mine, this file is almost certainly wrong for you. You will need to recreate it (first delete the old one) from the command prompt like:

ln -s /gs/gs9.15/bin/gsos2.exe /cups/bin/gs.exe

  Point to the ghostscript you want to use (hopefully it is on the same drive as CUPS).

  Once you can print the test page, you have CUPS working. Next is to get the CUPS ppd file into PSPRINT.

guzzi,

  Sure.... what ftp address?
