Programming / Re: REXX help - check to see if file is present.
« on: February 28, 2016, 08:39:59 pm »
Hi,

Just use the following commad:

stream( file2chek, "c", "QUERY EXISTS" )
( if empty string then file does not exist )
 
"C" is for command

You can replace "QUERY EXISTS"
"QUERY SIZE" - interesting in cas the file exist but its size = 0 !

Best regards.

Thanks for the info Remy & Johnny works ! Added to FirefoxDD & Media Pack for OS/2.

@ Martin thx for the work on the collection of REXX code. I'll check it out for other things too

Greggory: the Roboto fonts are nice, as long as you get the fixed & redesigned 2.0 versions instead of the rather half-baked 1.x versions. I normally install them, along with the Droid font series, on my systems. 

...

I swithed to Roboto+Condensed for the body and yes they are nice ! It maybe just my setup, but FF for OS/2 is alot better at displaying fonts then (FF /Win 10 is terrible - chrome is a bit better).

@Martin/Alex - I'll try to put something together, but suggestions on which ones ???

- OS/2 only uses ttf format ?
- How to auto add fonts ?
- From where, Google fonts ?
- Copyrights
- My Rexx is -  looking up onekeywords at a time :(

Programming / REXX help - check to see if file is present.

REXX help -  I need this for several programs !

How would you check to see if file is present in a directory and skip over-writing it (FIREFOX!.ENV), and/or more importantly backup it (renaming it) ?

Thanks

UPDATED - ImageJ is a public domain Java image processing program inspired by NIH Image for the Macintosh. It runs, either as an online applet or as a downloadable application, on any computer with a Java 1.4 or later virtual machine.

Just download eJava_add-ImageJ.zip and unzip it to the eJava directory and run ImageJ.CMD (eJava-006_Final.zip required see first post above).

Thanks to David McKenna !

Hi Greggory,

 This is a great idea, I gave it a try and I have a couple of comments...

 iintl6i.dll is apparently required for something (got an error because I didn't have it and downloaded it from Hobbes) - that should be mentioned in the README. Also, it wasn't clear that you need to put the archive where it will stay, the files are not copied during install - only objects are created.

...

Thanks!

Thanks I added  iintl6i.dll to the download location. However, that seems weird since it's a REXX script, but thanks I didn't notice because of using Yum/RPM.

Yes, the whole thing is self contained for now (lack of programming skills).

I'll follow up with answers to your questions when I get to sit down, and thanks for the program add !


Cheers,

Greggory

Just download Jmol-14.4.3.CMD to eJava directory and run (eJava-006_Final.zip required).

Applications / Web Fonts for OS/2 ?
« on: February 26, 2016, 01:03:26 pm »
Creating a font pack for OS/2 ? What format ttf, otf, eot or woff and how ?

I was wondering how many people have 'Workplace Sans' installed ? Since it's that main font I use on my site.

Also, what other fonts have you added to OS/2, tested, tips ?

I'm testing out the support for the @font-face HTML attribute (aka downloadable Web fonts) with the new FF 38 on my site - any thoughts ?

Added to the front page only for now:

      <link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto+Slab:700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
      <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans+Condensed:300,700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
      <link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto+Condensed:400,700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

Roboto Condensed looks almost the same as 'Workplace Sans'

Any thoughts ?

Internet / Re: SeaMonkey 2.35a1
« on: February 24, 2016, 08:32:18 am »
Hi I've uploaded a preview of SeaMonkey 2.35 to bitbucket in five part harmony :) https://bitbucket.org/dryeo/dry-comm-esr31/downloads/seamonkey-2.35a1.en-US.os2.zip along with .z01-.z04 to get around upload problems I've been having.
If anyone wants to concat the zips together, I can give write access.
...
Dave

Thanks Dave for the work !

I can upload the file. One question on the parts, do you unzip them one at a time ?

I used Odin WinRar to do it (just selected all) and a message popup about one file dup application.ini I think, but it started up and ran fine.

Updated to 38 - Here's a universal installer for Firefox, Thunderbird & Seamonkey !

http://os2notes.net/os2firefoxdd.html

===========
- removed '+' from directory name that caused issues (copy files).
- updat3ed to firefox-38.2.1.en-US.os2.zip support
- changed setup /w adv install. Uses RUN! with ELK and FIREFOX!.ENV conf file support (if present FIREFOX!.ENV will be over-written see backup made any help /w this ?)
- hidden multipass install option




Just install and Drag & Drop zip file to install Firefox, TB, SM  (all dlls are NO LONGER included).

Use Yum/RPM (or usually someone uploads req. files to Hobbes)

Clean install tested most versions from FF 10+:

- firefox-38.2.1.en-US.os2.zip
- firefox-31.8.0.en-US.os2.beta_5.zip

- thunderbird-31.8.0.en-US.os2.zip
- thunderbird-31.6.0.en-US.os2.7z

- seamonkey-2.35a1.en.os2.zip
- seamonkey-2.28b5r2.en-US.os2.zip

NOTE: 7z files other then thunderbird-31.6.0.en-US.os2.7z will need to be added to the install routines.

Or some fine folk could write a little code to handle 7z files ?!?!

Also REXX help -  How would you check to see if file is present in a directory and skip over-writing it (FIREFOX!.ENV), and/or more importantly backup it (renaming it) ?

Games / Re: 1500+ Win 3.1 programs released !
« on: February 14, 2016, 06:52:50 pm »
...

@Greggory, JavaScript is not Java and other then the name and a bit of syntax, they're totally different. JavaScript is built into the browser and if Firefox works on Windows, it should work on OS/2. There are exceptions such 3D support that is lacking on our platform.

Yes, but that was the quote from the website. And this is a port of DoxBox to Emscripten >> LLVM compiler and produces a subset of JavaScript

« on: February 13, 2016, 10:22:11 am »
It is too many games for me :)

As far as I know it runs an x86 emulator made in javascript to run DOSBox, Win31 and the game. But I can not make it work on Firefox on eCS, it just give a black screens. Is there anything that I'm missing?

Regards

Oh, I tried it from Win & didn't try it with OS/2.

bUT, here's probably why:

The emulator is open-source; it's actually a Java-based adaptation of DOSBOX that converts Windows runtimes into JavaScript code your browser can understand.


And probably needs Java 8 :(
