Applications / 2 Apps Needed by eCS
2007.10.28, 15:32:37
There are 2 major apps that need to be developed for eCS:
   1. A solid business accounting system similar to Quickbooks
   2. A stand alone mapping system kind of like Streets & Trips or PCMiler.
I know Robert M is working on #2.

General Discussion / I feel very lost....
2007.10.17, 02:00:00
I have spent years developing my 2 dbExpert apps. Randell Flint was a big help, asI could usually call or email him if I was stumped. Sometimes, he would get mad at me because I was so dumb, but usually everything worked out. Now that Randell is gone, I feel very lost--kind of like an orphan. So far, I have no one to turn to when--hopefully only if--I have any problems with dbExpert. I know there are several other people in the world who use dbExpert and know it inside & out. Unfortunately, they communicated thru a dbExpert newsgroup which worked on a Sundial server. Currently, that newsgroup server is down and there is no indication of if or when it will come back up.
If ANY current dbExpert user is on OS/2 World, please contact me either here or at rcrmonte3@wi.rr.com.

Thank you

Applications / dbExpert

Thank you Robert M & jep for your answers to my Sundial Systems post.

Is there anyone here who works with dbExpert or knows it fairly well? I'm trying to establish a non-techie(me)techie relationship here so I have someone to call on when I need help.

Also, I'm wondering if there is somebody or group here who could possibly take over development of a solid, simple, easy to use OS/2/eCS database and upgrade it as needed.

Thanks

With Randell Flint gone, :'( :'(  what's left of Sundial Systems--his wife, Carla(forgive me if I spelled it wrong)--is searching for someone to continue development of their software--Junk Spy in particular. dbExpert is an excellent database that is easy to understand and use and, IMHO, should also have continued development. Even as non-technical as I am, I have developed 2 separate dbExpert apps that are rather complicated. Randell even told me several times that I had put together a complicated and complex app. Because dbExpert is so easy to work with, I basically developed those apps accidentally. I really have no clue about how a program(?) such as dbExpert works. I just know that it does and hope someone--or a group--will take over its development.

Applications / Sundial Systems
2007.10.15, 17:07:35
Now that we have lost Sundial, where does one go for help with its products--especially dbExpert? I still run into a lot of things I need to do to make my dbExpert database applications more efficient. I have too much time--years--in the development of my apps to change to another system. Also, I don't know of another database for OS/2 (eCS) that's as stable and easy to use.

Is anybody here a dbExpert user? Does anybody here know the ins & outs of REXX? Is Sundial going to come back or is it gone for good?

General Discussion / Randell Flint
2007.10.15, 16:57:44
I just read the article about Randell passing away and Sundial suspending sales of its products. It's a sad day for OS/2. Every time I would contact Sundial, whether by email or phone, Randell was more than helpful. He always worked me through my confusion about macros & querys when I was setting up my dbExpert database, to the point of helping me make things work the way I needed them to. Because of Randell, I am able to meet the legal requirements of the trucking industry in the US on my laptop. I will REALLY miss Randell and Sundial.

What ever happened to SVISTA that development appears to have been stopped in 2004?

Applications / CUPS???
2007.10.14, 17:21:10
Not being a hi tech person and not monitoring OS/2-eCS developments, I see something called CUPS is replacing win32 development. Please explain what CUPS is.

Thank you

Hardware / wifi card
2007.08.26, 17:51:54
Even though I still do not have my eCS laptop connected to the internet, I thought I would find out what the best wifi card for it would be. Also what drivers are compatible with the card?

Thanks in advance.

How do I set up my internet(cable) DNS?
How do I find the IP address of my laptop?
How do I set up TCPIP--if I need it?

You guys are great.

Hardware / Tired
2007.06.13, 04:19:42
I'm getting tired and frustrated trying to get eCS to reinstall on my laptop. Perhaps I should give up and go to windoze. But, no, then I would have to do twice as much work to create a system that's half as stable--if that--and only runs right when it wants to--which is seldom.....

This all started shortly before I posted 'Trouble with a capital T'

For tonight, I give up.

Hardware / Trouble with a capital T!!!
2007.06.13, 01:20:35
Hi, Again!

I did Alt F2 when I booted my laptop. The only driver that stayed on the bottom of the screen as long as the eCS logo did was OS2ASPI.DMD. The line read 'Installed OS2ASPI.DMD'. Doesn't mean a thing to me.

However, here is where the trouble comes in:

After the eCS logo went off, the boot sequence hung with the following:

Exception in Module HPFSMINI
Trap 000d  ERRCD=0000  ERACC=****  ERLIM=********
EAX=feffa71a EBX=ffdda6fb ECX=00000000  EDX=0000042e

0886090f
Internal revision 14.103a_W4

The system is stopped.

I have tried rebooting and booting from the install CD (hoping to reinstall eCS and get past this problem).  I tried booting from an archive. Nothing worked. Everything came back to the above information.

I cannot boot the laptop!!! What do I do????  HELP!!!!!

Hi!
Thanks for all your help on my previous questions. Now for a couple more:

   1. When I boot my laptop, the eCS logo is on the screen for what seems like forever--30 seconds+. How do I get it to go away a lot sooner and continue the boot process?

   2. I have a cable modem connected to an ethernet router. The router has 2 ethernet output cables--1 to my desktop and one that connects to my laptop whenever I am using the laptop in the office. When I start the mozilla browser that came with eCS, it shows I am connected to the internet, but it continues to tell me it cannot find Mosilla.org, mozilla.com, etc. It also cannot locate Google or my email provider. I put the new Firefox browser on the laptop and it, too cannot locate anything. How do I get the cable connection to work on my laptop???

Thanks in advance.

Hardware / GPS

I also should have mentioned GPS in my plea for Wifi help. Are there any GPS devices for a laptop that are compatable with OS/2-eCS?

Hardware / D-Link DWA-642
2007.05.17, 21:09:00
Hi!
I decided to go wireless with my laptop, so I bought a D-Link DWA-642. Of course, it only comes with drivers for windoze.
   1. Do I need drivers for eCS 1.2?
   2. If I need drivers, where do I find them?
   3. Are there any install problems I should know about?
   4. Did I get the right adapter?  If not, which one should I trade it in for?

As always, thank you in advance for your help.

General Discussion / Email Notification

Nice upgrade. The only problem I have is that the old site would send me emails when someone replied to my posts. I may be blind--not, but I havent seen any obvious way to get email notification when a person replies to my posts on this upgrade.

Hardware / ar5os2.exe & pe.exe
2007.05.14, 22:33:08
Hi!
I want to try running--or at least installing--Quickbooks on my eCS laptop, but am unable to locate the current Odin pe.exe or ar5os2.exe. If someone could give me a link to either file I would be grateful.

Thank you

Dennis
