IIRC, the Hobbes version is outdated. Ulrich started first with a REXX
version, but I'm too lazy to look up which one is on Hobbes. ;-)

The last version is on netlabs.org CVS, repository xwphelpers. The
CVS checkout contains the compiled h2i.exe:

epm: G:\Dev\netlabs\xwphelpers > h2i
h2i V1.0.5 (Jan 13 2006) (C) 2001-2003 Ulrich Möller
 Part of the XWorkplace package.
 This is free software under the GNU General Public Licence (GPL).
 Refer to the COPYING file in the XWorkplace installation dir for details.
h2i (for 'html to ipf') translates a large bunch of HTML files into a
single IPF file, which can then be fed into IBM's ipfc compiler.
Usage: h2i [-i<include>]... [-v[0|1|2|3]] [-s] [-r] <root.htm>
with:
  <root.htm>  the HTML file to start with. This better link to other files.
  -i<include> include a C header, whose #define statements are parsed
              to allow for entity references (&ent;).
  -v[0|1|2|3] specify verbosity level. If not specified, defaults to 1;
              if -v only is specified, uses 2.
  -s          show some statistics when done.
  -r          show only <root.htm> at level 1 in the TOC; otherwise all
              second-level files are moved to level 1 as well.

Shit, I've just recognized that you tried that tool that works the other way
round. Sorry! It works never well enough for me - and I made a lot of tests.
Unfortunately, I'm not aware of a reliable-working tool for converting INF
to something else.

But NewView is able to create an IPF file from an INF file. AFAIR, the output
to IPF is usable, but that feature could need some more work. When you're
on IPF, then there are several options that all work better than INF2HTML.

About this subject, I contacted Markus Noller ...
By the way I also contacted Knut St. Osmundsen ...

Thanks for your activities.

Changing the system wide default font also changes the default dialog unit size, which has the effect of rescaling all dialogs throughout the system.  

Holger Veith created a patch which fixes that bug: http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/os2/system/patches/PMFIX.zip

BTW: The other patch which is contained in the .zip files works for me as well.

There exist always people who don't learn from the past. :-(

I don't have trouble with running Firefox 10.0.5 and OOo 3.2 (Text
document) together.

OK. I found that table docs lead sooner to those problems.

I also have lots of shared memory space left over (shown by Above512).

That tool apparently doesn't work reliable when it comes to detect
cases with rare Shared Memory

The secret seems to be to abandon HPFS, and use only JFS (as shipped
with eCS 2.1).

No, not here: I don't use HPFS any more since many years.

I tried it years ago, and got it off my machine as quickly as I could.
I would never use it again, simply because it does all of the bad
things that you are describing. I can't say that I have ever missed
it.

I miss many features of it. Adding it to my WPS never worked stable
for a longer time, but I always run other WPS enhancers (at least XWP)
additionally.

I had WPS Wizard once running stable for a longer time coexisting with
XWP. But times changed and I use much more Shared Memory then in those
past days (e.g. Mozilla apps). These days Mozilla and OOo can't be run
simultaneously on any of my installation, at least not stable or for a
longer time. So, why should I bother with adding WPS Wizard to my WPS
utils? First, the main apps have to work - and they unfortunately don't.

the developer

"The developer" is just Chris, that person who created the NOM thing.

We had much too many developer-bashing situations here in the past
years, so please try to understand (and accept - it's OSS/freeware)
Chris' position.

So, either it works for you or not.

I see..thanks.  This appears to be a feature in XWP but not EWP.
That is correct, it is not considered stable enough to add to ewp.  Also, it changes the way file associations work... I never could get used to the change (used to be a separate option but they found that turbo folders needed the file associations to achieve any level of stability.

Turbo Folders never was stable enough, it's still not complete, while the Extended Associations already worked well. Ulrich decided to combine them, probably because of easier maintenance.

How to select a DHCP server?

I'm afraid, you can't. I know that behavior from other OS as well and came to the conclusion
that DHCP is designed to work automatically, without user/admin action.

OS/2 is apparently unable to support both X/eWP(S) and WPS Wizard on
many installations. There exists no design problem of both of them why
they can't coexist, but in most cases the lack of Shared Memory leads
to the situation that either of them works only. If you try to use
OOo, Virtual PC, Mozilla, Java or Qt additionally, the situation gets
worse.

Less WPS is more.

Please note the question mark in Melf's posting.

That's (still?) not the end of Thunderbird. Development will probably be continued by
those people who worked on it before without payment. What has happened is
that the Foundation decided to move developers from one project to the other
and to abandon it. The same has happened with the Mozilla suite/SeaMonkey - but
it's still alive (and well).

USB 3.0 ports are backward compatible. The connection falls back to USB 2.0 if one of
both ports or the cable is not for 3.0.

This is hardware compatibility, you will still need IIIRC to install the drivers for the USB 3.0 port..

Sure. But IMO there are still 2 years left to develop an USB 3.0 driver. The current hardware
comes with both generations. Compare this with the other driver problems and you know
where the important game is played.

QuoteBut are there mainboards out there that no longer have controllers on board that work with USB 2.0 drivers ?
QuoteBut USB 3.0 devices can, as far as I can tell be hooked up to a USB 2.0 port.
I think that is true, but that means that you will need to have a USB 2.0 port to hook them up to.
Not true. USB 3.0 ports are backward compatible. The connection falls back to USB 2.0 if one of
both ports or the cable is not for 3.0.

installing and adding the XWLAN widget to ecenter prevents eCS to bring up the WPS

Have you tried to start eCenter delayed or manually?

Surely all the developers who wrote WPS-aware programs back in the heydey must have gotten their training from somewhere...

They were probably taught in IBM courses. Training is a major part of the business -- now and then.
