HELP!

Apparently the CSD for the workframe and compiler (C Set/2) don't recognize
NFS mounted drives.  When I put the Workframe CSD disk into the drive and call
up the service program, it says that it can't find any products to service!

When I check the option to select drives, it doesn't show ANY NFS drives, only
my resident HD partitions.

Is there a workaround for this????

Thanks.

I was wondering if there exists a PD or shareware C++
Application Framework for OS/2 (before I take the plunge
and write my own, which could take upwards a month or two.)

If not, I'll write one (using GNU C/2 - the one w/o emx, 
since that's what I have.)  Would there be any interest in such
a beastie?  (Free to beta testers, only $5 registration fee -
don't want to get rich off it, just make some money for food.)

An intial version, at a guess since I haven't thought it through,
would allow the creation of windows and controls, an overlay of 
the GPI layer so you wouldn't have to redraw the screen yourself 
on every repaint message, and modal and modeless dialog box support.
`

Mostly I'm basing my ideas on a similair one I did for MS Windows
(and subsequently lost to a hard disk crash and stupidly not
backing up) and a very good book for those interested - 
_Windows++_ by Paul DiLascia.  He opened my eyes to quite a
few concepts ..

Thanks for any replies

I am trying to take an Xwindows application and compile and run it under OS/2.
I would like to be able to log into my machine running OS/2 from a 
Sparcstation and have the program's UI be redirected to my workstation.   
Most X programs allow you to do this by using the -display options or
by setting the DISPLAY environment variable.

I have IBM's TCP/IP package which includes an X server, but in order to
build an X client program I need to link with the Xlib library.  I
also have the TCP/IP programmers kit, which does not contain Xlib, but
does contain the libraries for TCP/IP.  I also have the latest distribution
of mit X source.

It seems like I have all the ingredients to build the Xlib library myself.
Has anyone done this before, or is there an easier way, is this even
possible?

I can't help with the parameters for the CD-ROM under OS/2, but you can do
the same thing as SETVER does in DOS. From the program object that you will
start MSCDEX.EXE from (either the DOS command prompt or an object specific
to MSCDEX) open the Settings (right mouse button on the object, select the
arrow to the right of the Open option, then select Settings).

1) Go to the Session page.
2) Select the DOS Settings button (and make sure the appropriate DOS prompt
   is selected).
3) Scroll down until you see DOS_VERSION and select it
4) On the right will be a list box. Add "MSCDEX.EXE,5,0,255" to the next line
5) Save the DOS Settings and close the Settings window

That isn't "more expensive" when you include the AT&T Class Libraries as he has
done.  In fact, it may be a tiny bit less expensive once you throw in shipping
costs on the originals.

But you did omit the creation of a message queue for the other thread.  Also,
it is highly recommended that all threads but the one with the message loop

The /Ms option sets the default linkage convention, but any function
can use either _System or _Optlink, simply by specifying the desired
linkage.  Make sure the prototype includes the linkage keyword, so that
the function, and the function call, are consistent.

In the case of the tookit, the headers define every function as APIENTRY,
which is simply _System.  The C Set/2 runtime functions are all _Optlink.

Well, if you order the November 1992 OS/2 2.1 Preliminary Development Kit
(PDK) CDROM you get C set/2 and a bunch of other usefull stuff for $15.00.

On the other hand, my copy of Orfali & Harkey's Client Server Programming
with OS/2 2.0 2nd Edition book says WorkSet/2 (which includes WorkFrame/2,
Developer's Toolkit, and C Set/2 compiler kit) lists at $895 -- but could
be had from OS/2 Developer Assistance Program for $295 from 5/92-9/92 as a
special discount off their regular price.  So, while list price isn't low
cost -- you may get a special promotional deal -- or ask about educational
pricing which is often very attractive.

WorkFrame/2 was designed for use with any compiler.  In fact, you can
plug in your own editor, debugger, maker, and linker.  Then you can
add many of your other preferred tools to its 'Tools' menu.  This is
very different from the 'other' development environments who force you
to use their own tools.  WorkFrame/2 also implements many drag & drop
features which allow you to do your work more easily.  When used with
the enhanced editor, the error handling mechanism is quite powerful.

It also provides a default compiler dialog for those compilers that
don't yet provide WorkFrame/2 support.  Those that do include
Watcom, Symantech, and Borland.
