Hi Danielnez1. Sorry to be negative on this area, but we had tried with IBM ...

  Hi Martin,

  Thanks for all your efforts to keep OS/2 going! Just wondering... did you ever try to contact Microsoft about the OS/2 DDK? Also, do you have any idea when its patents run out? In the US patents last 17 years with the option to renew once. Even if they patented in 1996 (when OS/2 was strangled by IBM), 17 years would be 2013 (yes, it has been that long!). Would they bother to renew.....?

Regards,

Dave McKenna

Andreas,

  Bingo! That took care of the issue here.... it should probably be added to the next eCS version. Do you know if Mr. Veith would allow that?

Ivan,

 Looks like the eCS machine is using the eStyler enhancements? Maybe try disabling that or add those apps to the 'Do not enhance' list and see what happens?

 OK... had a chance to try it and this one seems better than the last. I was able to open files easily and print and save with no trouble. Help seems to work well and setting preferences. A little disappointed Java still does not work. The biggest issue so far is on program shutdown I always get some kind of POPUPLOG (not consistent) and sometimes it actually hard hangs the computer...

  I just noticed there is a new OO3.4 developer snapshot here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+3.4+Unofficial+Developer+Snapshots. I'm downloading now...

Applications / Re: RPM YUM error

Any chance you updated a component originally installed by YUM manually? I had similar errors when I installed Python 2.7 manually in a different directory (Python 2.6 is used by YUM)

Pete,

  There is a link to a dev build in Yuri's first post on this thread...

OK... duh!

I had the OpenOffice quick start running for 3.2. Turned that off and now 3.4 starts up. Now I'll lean on it a bit and see how it works.

BTW... will this work with the next Java6 when it comes out?
#10
BTW... I have only one partition - C: - and everything is installed there: RPM/YUM, eCS 2.1, and all apps.
#11
  I installed everything using RPM/YUM (per the readme). I also downloaded all the zips mentioned and checked that I had all the dlls installed (I did). I also tried copying the icu*.dlls from version 3.2 into the new one but it made no difference - I got the same popuplog. OpenOffice is not in the LIBPATH or PATH environment, so I don't see how my installation of 3.2 could interfere. I checked for duplicate dlls on the LIBPATH and I did find one - C:\mmos2\dll\sw.dll exists and conflicts with a dll of the same name in OpenOffice, but I would think melf would have the same problem I have if that was the culprit. I'll keep searching...

Thanks for the dev build link! FWIW, after installing all the requirements listed in the readme, I can't get any of the apps to start. I always get this popuplog:

  This looks suspiciously like I am still missing a dll....

Raiko,

  See http://svn.ecomstation.nl/snap - it looks like the SNAP and Panorama drivers will be merged and the MTRR issues will be dealt with... eventually.
