Rexx / Re: Looking for open DELTREE program?
« on: 2011.06.27, 15:55:56 »
Well I uploaded to hobbes my version a little over a decade ago now:
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/os2/util/disk/diskutil.zip
I called it treegone, it will remove an entire tree regardless of read only attributes.  As it is written it will prompt one time if you are sure you want to remove the tree and then it goes to town without prompting about specific files regardless of read only attribute.  This package also has a small script to open a folder from the command line and another to change directories even across drives (I still use it occasionally but now that I use 4OS2 I don't really have need of it anymore).

Craig Miller. .. .
While it is really good to have a new home for people to find it and download it, in point of fact it has been free for several years:

It is a really nice little program. 
I applaud the effort that Craig has put into reviewing the apps he does.

You have to bypass the CMS and go directly to the forum to view a thread under these circumstances.

I'd post the link here, but I believe that to be against the wishes of the maintainers.

However, it is not difficult to figure it out and the first choice most likely, will be the correct one.


It definitely is not. The direct link is this:
http://www.os2world.com/forum/index.php/topic,2297.0.html

We are aware of the problem and have tried numerous things to fix it (to no avail).

Best,
Robert

I am trying to view page three of this thread but even going directly through the forum page it is blank for me...  I am looking in particular for the script if it was posted for restarting the Mysql/Apache.

SIM used to support Yahoo but Yahoo made a change and I am unsure if SIM has been rebuilt for OS/2 since then.
ICQ used to work with MrMessage, it used the same protocol as AIM but I think it changed as it no longer works with DrMessage.
I am using DrMessage, I connect multiple AIM instances, Gtalk, MSN, Yahoo, and Netlabs Jabber (used to connect to ICQ with it too but stopped working some months ago).
I have used jabber gateways in the past, I have found them _very_ unreliable here but YMMV.
I started to port Instantbird (uses libpurple as DrMessage and Pidgin do and xulrunner) but am currently stymied awaiting forthcoming (I am hopeful) updates to GCC.

I almost posted this one yesterday too, it shows using curl and sed but you may need some php too but I am not sure which is why I didn't initially post it:

Did this clear up things?
Yes, it means my initial thought of what you might be asking was wrong.  However, here is what I have found that may or may not help you as I can't really test it.
If you have the option of your router using dd-wrt then this link may help:
http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=504533
if not then it at least suggest that:
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/os2/apps/internet/dynip/inadyn_196.zip
might be usable.  While it does not mention it as being supported, inadyn is what the dd-wrt is using in the first link to connect to loopia.

Are you needing to connect to a provider other than your ISP?  If just to the ISP then is the system connecting directly to it or going through a NAT?

The primary advantage, to me, of Ubuntu is that it doesn't use RPM/YUM.  I have found RPM/YUM to be to fragile.  The advantage of Ubuntu over Debian, to me, is that Debian does not update its packages as frequently as Ubuntu and I had so much I was needing to run that needed to be newer versions and it was so much more difficult to install than on Ubuntu.  Not that I like any of the available desktops but I really don't like the new Unity desktop that Ubuntu as released.  I haven't seen Gnome 3 yet that they avoided but it doesn't sound like it is any better.  With the state that Linux in general is in today I don't see why anyone would have been switching to it from OS/2 five years ago, much less longer ago (unless it just hasn't progressed any for that long).

114
One would think it could be fixed... one scenario I did see yesterday while working on this was that I installed eCS first and then Ubuntu (unfortunately for what I am trying to do it did not allow me to initially not install grub into the MBR which is what seems to be what messes all this up).  Once I got booted into Ubuntu I was able to move grub to another location and then reinstall Airboot.  I then booted into eCS and then found upon accessing LVM that 2 of my 3 eCS partitions did not show up, including my boot partition.  I could still access the partitions (obviously seeings I was booted from it) but the Drive was seen as corrupt.  It would seem that seeings the useability was still there that a fix should be possible.

115
I've spent some time today trying to fix that same error here.  I had nothing on those partitions yet anyhow but was trying to avoid having to reload Ubuntu.  I found nothing that helped me in DFSee for this issue but you might try posting on the DFSee list and see if someone there has an idea.

You might try to use JDEBP cmd as it does not have the command line length limitation.

DDK is not part of the os2tk45.  The toolkit and DDK are different things and I couldn't find that Mensys added the DDK as part of the toolkit on the eCS cd #2 when I looked last night.  I believe Mensys may be able to provide the DDK upon request if I am recalling correctly.

Source is likely to cost a pretty penny.  If this offer is like the earlier one a few years ago then basically the 3000 Euros comes down to 50 people buying a license at 59.99 Euros apiece.  So, part of the setup will be to keep track of who purchased a license for when it is complete for them to receive it. 
As to whether pcmcia is being removed, that is quite possible as but I am not sure about pccard.  PCMCIA is 16 bit so it is likely the 64 bit systems do not have them, I do not know about PCCard as that is 32bit. 
Two things I see as being really needed for a newer sspcic.sys.
One is for it to be able to work with the cbenabler or better to perform the function that cbenabler would have (cbenabler allows some cards, to be seen as a PCI device - the PCCard wireless cards that work require this for instance). 
The second is for it to be sure it works with ACPI, in particular with /APIC (I am not entirely sure if the current version works with ACPI or not but I know id does not with cbenabler).

Just downloaded the rodent code... it needs masm...   Only rodent.c uses icc which probably would be able to use OW for that easily enough (though rodent.exe is not built by the make file by default as it is commented out).  Masm is not part of VAC, but rather is part of the ddktoolkit.  Tried both wasm and alp to noavail so far for the asm code.

I see one of two reasons your looking to pipe pmgre through gl2pipe:
1)  Possibly an increase of performance going through 3D acceleration
2)  Ability to do something like set a generic resolution that then could be changed on the fly without a reboot so that gl2 is changing the resolution actually being displayed such that reboots would not be required.

Assuming option 1, then does that then rely on a less than generic driver 3D Component Driver?  Or is that something that gradd would be replaced by and still have a largely generic driver possible with maybe plugins required for specific chipsets?
