Is there a utility to show how much RAM an app/process is using?  I really miss Process Commander.

Theseus is the official utility which shows memory usage in great detail  :)
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/os2/util/memory/thes3003.zip
Is there an advantage to using Theseus 3?  I've used version 4 for so long I don't recall the differences other than that 3 requires a device driver and 4 does not:

Built with make worked as stated above... I am using some OW1.9 (not sure if it is one I built or installed now).  Built fine, the only warning:
..\source\collect.cpp(101): Warning! W919: col(12) delete of a pointer to void

Hi

It used to be so easy to print on PDF with "PDF Printer", but I just installed it again and it is not working.
What are you using today to print as PDF?.

I have been trying ghostscript 8.71 and 9.16 with "PDF Printer" but it is not working. I'm getting this error when try to print a INF with NewView (picture attached).

Any hints?
Possibly the printer driver you are using?  I don't think I had ever used pre-press but just tested it and it worked fine.

Applications / Re: yum check problems
« on: March 15, 2015, 03:49:52 am »
These problems are common issues with yum/rpm in both Linux and OS/2 from what I have experienced. 
I have used:
yum shell
and in there issue:
remove gettext-legacy-0.18.3.2-1.oc00
remove gettext-legacy-0.18.3.2-1.oc00
install gettext-legacy
run
exit

You'll need to do that for every duplicated entry, and issue the remove for each time it is showing installed (I've had it show 5 and 6 times and so issued the remove for each of them).  Then when done issue   rpm --rebuiltdb   Then yum clean all.  Do your  yum check again.
When that doesn't work I've been able to find commands to clean it, something with rpm -e as I recall.

Dialogs and Titlebar enhancements, though Styler/2 has titlebar hiding available that is not in estyler and I have that on but I am finding that more annoying than useful.

I don't know if there is an uninstaller (would expect there is) I can say you can run both estyler and Styler/2 as I am doing so.  There are few overlapping functions and I use estyler for the overlapping ones and disable those in Styler/2.

Setup & Installation / Re: RPM/YUM update
« on: February 02, 2015, 08:26:31 pm »
You are right Silvan, i use both only to better review programs for our website when i update it, this guarantees me less dependency problems. however this issue was from one day to other, so quite strange
I have the same error here, I am waiting before I fix it for some other testing but rpm --rebuilddb  will probably fix it.  Unfortunately, yum/rpm is quite fragile and requires a lot of maintenance on Linux much less on OS/2.
The rpm --rebuilddb did not fix it in this case here, has fixed those type errors in the pase.
Had to do yum shell
and in the shell
update libsupc++6
update libstdc++6
run
I know have two libsupc++6 versions installed but things appear to be working.

Applications / Re: OpenOffice 4.1.1 GA - pre-requisite uninstall?
« on: January 29, 2015, 08:26:41 pm »
FWIW

Here I can run both AOO & FF24 at the same time.  I can print a couple of pages from a basic document in AOO at the same time too.   I'm using 14.104SMP kernel.  I have not set any DLLs to run in highmem.
If you do not have a patched kernel then marking DLLs to run in highmem will cause a trap when the DLL unloads (maybe not everytime but often enough to be annoying).  So if you have not installed the patch, you probably don't want to mark highmem.

You can also mark the Firefox dlls to load high. Currently xul.dll can only be marked to load the code high without eventually crashing.
I had thought they had just fixed xul.dll so it could be set to load code and data high.  Maybe I am misremembering or misread something along the way.

ivan & Andi B. -- Same here, My clients  (as well as myself) are only interested in running OS/2 as host and VBox running clients Windoz and Linux. I've been working for quite some time compiling newer versions with some success, but progress is is VERY slow, help for this project is virtually non-existant. I'd be interested in hearing any comments you might have in you're use of vbox.

Myself, I would like to have OS/2 host with sound and USB support for the client.

Items not already being worked on:

-Multiple sound streams for UniAud (my pet peeve)
-Updated OpenGL
-Updated VBox
-Updated SNAP
-USB3
-Intel WiFi drivers
-Bluetooth

  I also agree with Andi B's comments on AOO and Seamonkey, but they are in development...
Though still in initial phase, Intel WIFI drivers are being worked on (Arca Noae).
USB3 is still in the design phase as it is fundamentally different from USB2 and how to implement it is still being determined; Lars spoke a bit on this at Warpstock.
Bluetooth, no work on it at this point but Lewis has asked how much interest there would be for Bluetooth and for what functions to determine if there is enough interest for Arca Noae to build these.  He posted on the eCS technical list back in September.

Setup & Installation / Re: Help for QSINIT Ram Disk appreciated...
« on: November 15, 2014, 02:38:20 am »
You can try to use NOFAT32 key in RAMDISK command line.
Indeed, I can now format it JFS.  The format throws an error but the format is complete by then:
Format completed successfully.

5172898 kilobytes total disk space.
5151288 kilobytes are available.

Setup & Installation / Re: Help for QSINIT Ram Disk appreciated...
« on: November 14, 2014, 11:33:05 pm »
I have been trying the ramdisk again and attempting to format it JFS but I guess the problem is that I have been trying to format it after WPS comes up because it just doesn't work at all here (see below).  The problem with setting the qsetup.cmd and the maker.cmd approach is that then the ramdisk cannot survive a reboot if you wanted it to. 
By manually building the ramdisk with the F3 (I think that is right) to get to the qsinit shell,  when I reboot and not create the ramdisk I find the ramdisk left in place with the files I copied to it. 

[D:\]format q: /fs:jfs
The type of file system for the disk is FAT32.
Warning!  All data on hard disk q: will be lost!
Proceed with FORMAT (Y/N)? y
SYS0528: The specified disk did not finish formatting.

[D:\]help sys0528

SYS0528: The specified disk did not finish formatting.

EXPLANATION: An operating system error occurred while the disk was
being formatted.  FORMAT was not able to finish formatting the
specified disk.
ACTION: Restart your computer and run FORMAT again.

Internet / Re: Firefox for eCS (OS/2) 24.8.1 Beta2 using very high CPU.
« on: October 01, 2014, 11:18:42 pm »
Do you guys have REIPL=ON in your config.sys? I haven't had a random reboot in ages and seldom get traps, the very occasional trap 3 in JFS and when I marked SeaMonkey and Thunderbird to use high memory Thunderbird became unstable, even causing a trap 0. I unmarked Thunderbird and the system became stable.
In my case, No.. In fact I explicitly added REIPL=OFF just to make sure because I didn't want it to be an issue and traps give me a trap dump attempt (it won't actually create a dump but that is something else).
