Subject: Questions on FTP's TCP and Printing and API
Organization: Angewandte Informationsverabeitung und Kommunikationstechnologien, TU-Graz
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 92 09:41:25 GMT

I have the following questions:

having PC/TCP Networking software for OS/2 (FTP) I want to print e.g. WinWord-
Output on a remote Printer (HP-Deskjet).
So:

1. How can I automatcally print remotely (if at all, the manual sais nothing
   or I could not find it).
2. If I can (or have to do so manually or semi-manually) how can I print 
   "binary" files without the -l option (which confuses our lpd on our
   Unix-machine because it wants to start some filter and does not print).

Concerning APIs

1. I have a Programm written for DOS using PC/TCP for DOS. We bought the L
   Library. Is there any possibility to use such programms by some mapping
   feature or by using the new DLLs somehow or do I have to buy a new kit?
   For what price?

Hope somebody will be able to help

Thanks

Ahh.. at last, a clue has been identified!  

My system also has the PERMANENT window POSITION set, using SHIFT while moving
around a text window.  This feature, by the way, is extremely annoying..

How can it be restored to the prior form, ie. auto-cascading of windows?

No guesses this time, please, just tried & true methods.

(I hope this is the right place to ask; it seems better than one
of the more general groups, since the main question is a networking one.)

(Some of you may have seen a precursor to this question on info-ibmpc;
I think I have my questions narrowed down more now.)

I am in need of a workstation for a "remote" one-person office.  The
workstation will have a dial-up connection through a V32bis modem to a
slip-server connected to the internet.  It will need to interact with
a couple of Suns (SunOS Unix) over the net.  It does not need the
power of a Sparc or a Next (not to mention the likelihood of service
problems), so it would appear that a 386 or 486 of some flavor under
OS/2 is one option.  (Straight DOS or DOS+Windows is unacceptable
because of the file-name restrictions.)  I don't really want the
(apparent) hassle of setting up and running a one-person unix, and
even there I'm not sure what GUI possibilities there are. (That's a
different question.)

My question is this.  Is there some combination of NFS, TCP/IP, and
SLIP software that will allow the file systems/directories on the
remote Sun's to be "mounted" as if they were on the OS/2 desktop?  (If
so, what do you need at both ends and how hard is it to install,
configure, and maintain?)  When that is done, what can you do with it?
(Cause files to be moved/copied on the Sun by moving their icons on
the OS/2 DT? Rename files and/or change their attributes on the Sun
through the OS/2 DT?  Cause a file on the Sun to be printed on a local
[to the OS/2 machine] printer by properly dragging its icon? Access
files on the Sun within OS/2 applications as if they were on the OS/2
machine? -- for instance, could WordPerfect-for-OS/2 [there is one
isn't there?]  on the OS/2 machine access WordPerfect files that had
been put on the Sun via WP5.1 & PC-NFS on some other PC's locally
connected to the Sun?)  All at the same time as other applications
were running on the OS/2 machine, e.g, a mail handler, telnet
sessions, and ftp's to other machines?

I suspect X-windows is not a suitable solution, but comments on
that would be welcome too.

That sounds like multicasting.  Maybe UDP/IP.  Maybe the IGMP that is 
standard on some machines, and available by public domain patches
for many others.  UDP/IP multicasting is used for the world-wide
audio-video real-time cameras and microphones at the IETF meetings.

There are RFC's for this stuff.

You don't need a trick for using IP. In fact, there exists an address type
that supports multicasting to the Internet addressing scheme. This class D
address is built in the following way:
+-----------------------+
|1110| group identifier |
+-----------------------+
There is a mechanism defined that maps group addresses of IP directly onto
multicast addresses of the ethernet (if your hardware is able to do
multicasting). Implementation issues are addressed in RFC1112, ideas for
distribution of multicast packets across network boundaries are described in
RFC1075. Note, that the service provided by multicast IP is the same best
effort delivery that is offered by conventional IP so you will have to care
about reliable transfer at the application layer.

Welcome to OS/2 Programming.... 
 
Av> - Are there tools to help me? 
Av> - Do I have to port or should it run as is with an extra set of dll's? 
 
Yes, you can do a complete port, or cheat by using Mirrors from 
Micrographx.  This will allow your app to compile via the Windows C 6.0 
code you use today, and then take advantage of the PM interface.  Its an 
easy way to go, and you should definitely consider it.  However, there's 
very valid advantages to doing a complete port, and I'll outline them 
below. 
 
Av> - What about the Named Pipe connection? 
 
OS/2 originated the named pipe API set, so you'll have no trouble at all 
(actually, less....the pipes can actually originate on the OS/2 
box....nice for testing w/o a LAN!) 
 
All in all, it sounds like you would be a great candidate for the new 
OS/2 book: "Client/Server Programming With OS/2 2.0", by Robert Orfali 
and Dan Harkey.  This book should be available in many bookstores by 
now. 
 
Av> - Is the DDE mechanism the same (where are the differences)? 
 
I have no idea!  Another book:  Charles Petzold's (dated) "Programming 
The OS/2 Presentation Manager" should help out. 
 
But really, why do any DDE at all!  Merge your two applications into one 
with a thread that monitors the pipe, and a thread that draws the client 
area of the window.  Both threads can access the HWND data structures 
in Presentation Manager, and you'll be able to do a 'WinPostMsg' from 
the thread to the main window with data elements, similar to Windows. 
This should make for a much more maintainable and robust application. 
 
If the word thread sounds complicated, it isn't.  All you do is write 
the thread function just like any other, and then supply the name as a 
call to the function '_beginthread'.  I can't get much easier in your 
case.  Your performance will be much better, too, because of less memory 
overhead, etc. and no DDE! 
 
If you would like help, I'd be glad to offer any I can.

OS/2 has it's own setup to control how it talks to video adapters, and once you have
that set up, you will not need the VMODE command.  I don't know if you can do this
from real DOS, as it's normally done from a VDM, but worth a shot.  Use vmode to set
your video cards refresh rate ... for all your video modes.  Then go into \OS2 and
type SVGA ON.  This will create a configuration file (forget what it's called) with
all your video information.  After that, you shouldn't have any trouble.  

Hope this helps,
Louis
