With ArcaOS, you may have to tinker with your video
drivers. If you have
issues with DOS windows not opening, let me know and I can
give you the
command to put in CONFIG.SYS that can help mitigate that.
Looking for any tips. To also cheat if there is anyone
here that uses FREEPASCAL that I could bounce a few novice
questions to you.
I have Free Pascal installed under ArcaOS but use Virtual
Pascal/2 normally.
What's your questions?
Which drive format is better to use?
Have not played with Virtual Pascal /2. How close to Borland Pascal 7
is it? can you build PM apps easier with it then FPC?
The question on FPC, can the FPC.CFG be used like the BPC.CFG, I can customize it and have different ones setup for the different projects?
I told you it was a novice question. I just really started looking it reading the docs. It appears to be able to do quite a bit.
Thanks for any help and feedback
Where did you get it? All the ones I tried to download I could not get
to install?
I think late would be an understatement. Hey I am having fun with it.
Thank you, may take you up on it. Right now trying to work around the limits of the old compiler for OS2
First off, welcome to the echo, Dale :)
If you are installing under VirtualBox, you will need to
install the OS/2 Additions package. There is a README file
there that will tell you how to do that step by step.
straight forward to set up and get the virtual modem
application, VMODEM.EXE, running. If you need any help,
just reach out :)
I can compile a version of it.only-> for 16 bit but I can do a PM with it (requires quite
I have Borland Pascal 7 now working with the OS2 patch but its
a bit of work).
Hmm, I would just leave it as a text mode app like it is
now. Much less overhead on the CPU, I would think. And if
you come out with a native OS/2 version as well, I might
have to enlist Sean's help in utilizing HSTART to start up
Wildcat! from it (in all my years I have never used HSTART
before, so this use of it may be incorrect -- I am thinking
You will have to fiddle with the networking on it with your system but I know of at least three people that are using that image successfully. It's stock OS/2 Warp 4.52 with the OS/2 Virtualbox Add-ons installed.
I use VMWare Workstation pro 15 which works great. I was able to
move my 15+ systems from physical to VM's. Allows me to do much
more than I could before and return to a previous snapshot. I still
kept a few physicals in the closet in case I need to test something
outside of the VM.
