Hi Neil, can you test tide.exe. Need https://flaterco.com/files/xtide/harmonics-dwf-20251228-free.tar.xz along with SET HFILE_PATH=location/of/harmonics-dwf-20251228-free.tcd adjusted to your install. Not sure of the expected dir separator in the SET statement. I'll include the man page.
Still working on the web server, stupid IPv6 stuff and how to handle daemon. Might try the xtide too.
Edit: The missing DLL

Will it work with python 3.9 ?
How to safe install python 3 without disturbing python 2 under arcaos v5.1.1 with valid Arca noae support ?

Sure. First try python --version to see what you have installed, here,
Code: [Select]
H:\tmp>python --version
Python 3.13.2
if you need to install Python3, IIRC, "yum install python2.7 python3" then "yum update"

Martin, can you split Neil's xtide comment into a separate thread?
Also perhaps create git archives of https://flaterco.com/files/xtide/libtcd-2.2.7-r3.tar.xz and https://flaterco.com/files/xtide/xtide-2.15.6.tar.xz

Thanks Steven

What should be the command to modify the stack of a 16bit app to make it run?

How much should I put on the /STACKOS2 ??
-- exehdr /STACKOS2:0x00000 poker.exe

The XTide program shows the tide table for a particular location. It worked for years, but stopped a couple of weeks ago when the harmonics fiie expired.

http://hobbesarchive.com/?dir=%2F&stype=all&sort=type_name&search=xtide&submit=Search


It's still under development here:
https://flaterco.com/xtide/files.html

But there is no longer any OS/2 version.

Although it is an X program, there is also a command line version, tide.exe, which was more useful for OS/2.

Is there any hope for building the current release; at least the command line version?

Thanks TeLLie, of course that works. I completely overlooked the menu item and instead I always reset the layout in the settings.

Several programs seem to have problems with docking, including OpenOffice. But it also works there via the corresponding menu item.

Thank you for your effort,
Michael

This is stack overflow.  You might try enlarging the stack.  Since this is a 16-bit app and the stack is in the same segment as the dgroup, this might be effective.

i don't know if we have deno ported.


No, It is a stand alone JavaScript interpreter based on the V8 (Chrome) engine. Perhaps if we get a newer browser.

When I run it I get this:

In my case it works. But I noticed that it depends on the video. It seems that there some newer format that give some kind of error.

I deleted the ./config stuff of mediadownloader just to see how it was the first run. It gave me:

I did a:
