The IDE by Computer Associates. 7 disks, all work fine, but unfortunately no manuals.
Anyone interested please contact me for further details.

Nirmal: I just noticed this posting and looked in my archive where I found copies of those diskettes.  If you are still in need of them, let me know where to send them.

Greetings,

      What does CA-Realizer do?

Database, GUI development tool, etc... I guess kinda like FoxPro.

Think of CA-Realizer as the Visual Basic that OS/2 never had.  It is quite full featured. Somehow I think it contained a lot of 16-bit code (anyone, please correct me if I'm wrong), and it did not seem to support multithreading.  All of this, I think, because it was a dual platform package (OS/2 and Windows).

I have the "CA-Realizer V2.0 for Windows & OS-2.zip" file which contains the files Disk #1.exe through Disk #7.exe. They are what's called ARDI (seahorse) files?¿?¿?¿  I guess they need to be extracted to a floppy, but I have yet to figure out how to accomplish that. Anybody got any ideas?

thanks   klipp

Hi klipp,

The last time I saw an installer like that, there was something else on disk 1 that started the install and handled the rest of the files (which were just on the other floppies) - dunno if it was the same setup or not, so might not help. Either that or they are like IBM's self-extracting disk archives - in which case, running each at a commandline should prompt you to insert a floppy which it will format and/or extract to.

I know someone here has a copy floating around (mine are long since gone) - so hopefully someone with some actual knowledge in that area (unlike me  ;) ) can answer.

Hey Robert, It was me, messed up as usual! I was unzipping the file in OS2, which appeared to work, but didn't. Booting up in Windoz and using its unzipper, everything worked like you said and CA Realizer installed without problems.
  Thanks for you're help.

I have a shrinkwrapped retail box of CA-Realizer 2.0. I live in Australia, so shipping to the USA is likely to cost $60-150 depending on method. Basically I don't want to just throw it out if someone has a use for it. Cost $80 (or near offer) plus shipping. Anyone interested?
