Not all programs that would be used in the command window
will automatically adapt to a 'mode xxx/yyy' switch though. And
adjusting FONT size is not the same thing (mode doesnt change
- window just gets enlarged for the increased size of the letters).

If it were possible though to resize the window (as I say, perferably
with the mouse) while running a program, providing the program
running in the window adapts as well, it would make things a lot
easier.

Subj: What all is needed for compiling w/ PGCC/2

From: "Trancser" <jbergman@ixc.ixc.net>


Does anyone know what all is needed for compiling just about anything w/ PGCC
for OS/2?

I remember downloading before from the advise from a friend, just about
everything, but I noticed on the of the "practice" source code I downloaded
from HOBBES.NMSU.EDU, didnt complete compiling. Simple stuff (at least I
thought they were) like the 'gnunet.zip' archive (pretty sure thats the
filename) which is source code for FreeBSD's FTP and TELNET programs. 

If anyones successfully compiling with PGCC/2 any suggestions or tips on what
all to download would really be appreciated!

I've been using PGCC extensively for some time.  What errors are reported?

Could you please cross-post these announcements to the OS/2 groups
instead of posting multiple copies to each group. I'm sick of reading
the same article multiple times.

Multi-posting is SPAM. Cross-posting to on-topic groups is accepted
practice and bandwidth friendly.

GLUT was ported by IBM. If you can find it at IBM, just tell me,
I will try to find the link for you. I've downloaded it for some time.

But IBM ported only the ver. 2.x of GLUT.
With this I couldn't port an application because it's not up to date.
The current versions are about 3.6 / 3.7  I think.
Look at:
http://reality.sgi.com/opengl/glut3/glut3.html

From here you can get the sources. Maybe you can port the current
sources to OS/2. I don't know how difficult or how much work it will
be.


With best regards,

Jeremy, you are obviously confused or mistaken.  I am not posting
multiple copies to each group.  I am posting one copy to each group
that is on topic.  Crossposting, as you think it means is a function
of the news server and somewhat the news client.  Multiposting within
a newsgroup is SPAM, not across on-topic groups.  Furthermore, if you
are so sick of reading the same article multiple times you can easily
block me from your reader.  I have no clue as to why an induhvidual
would complain about bandwith, while that same induhvidual is
obviously downloading the full body of all messages in the newsgroups
to which they subscribe.  If you don't like the way I post my messages
I'm sorry, however I am well within guidelines and etiquette.

Crossposting is the posting of one physical message to multiple groups
(that is, there are multiple newsgroups in the "Newsgroups:" header),
and it is the preferred method for posting a single message to a set
of related newsgroups.

It sounds to me like you are multiposting, or posting the same message
multiple times (each with only one group in the "Newsgroups:" header),
and that is not the same thing at all.

A single message crossposted to n groups is normally consider to be a
better approach than multiposting the same discrete message to the same
n groups because it only results in a single message being stored on
the server under a single message ID, and it also enables those of us
with fairly intelligent newsreaders to read the message ONCE and mark
it as read.

Your technique is somewhat wasteful in terms of storage, but much more
importantly it's also wasteful in that it makes us read each and every
occurrence of the message.  Our newsreader software does not recognize
that each discrete posting is the same as others previously read.

>If you don't like the way I post my messages I'm sorry, however I am

Not if you're posting the exact sane message to multiple groups under
different message ID's.

Unfortunately, it is impossible for me to do that since my ISP blocks
outgoing crossposted messages to prevent advertizers and such
from abusing it.

Interesting.

Are they aware that crossposting is a legitimate Usenet function, that
someone posting ads will do so regardless of their limitations (and in
a more wasteful manner), and that this policy of theirs inconveniences
others on the net?

That policy alone would be enough for me to leave that ISP, but as long
as you're there I guess you have little choice.  :-(

In any case, I mainly wanted to step into this thread to make sure that
everyone knew what mechanisms were being talked about (it looked like
there was some confusion).

Let me correct myself.  I can crosspost in up to 4 groups it seems.
So even if I do crosspost, it will not solve the problem because I
post to 8+ groups.  I'll be glad to do that though...but you will
still get it at least 2 X.

Here is the information I have on the GLUT.DLL from IBM:

OpenGL 1.1 version 9611 built at 10 Apr 1997 17:34:58 on node.austin.ibm.com

It seems that it might even be older that you think....

Nope. You are the one who is mistaken. I posted a (fairly) polite

Yes. You are posting the same article multiple times (to multiple groups).
This is SPAM.

It has nothing to do with the news server.

Select a few newsgroups on the Newsgroups: line of your news-client
and post that way. Crossposting is a function of the client.

Posting the same article seperately to different groups *is* SPAM

This arguement is the same one posed by SPAMers. It is also
bullshit. You should modify your behaviour to align it with
conventions used on USENET. 

Forcing *everyone* to establish a killfile is not the answer.

Then you are a moron. And it is plain to see that you have no clues.

What has downloading all the messages in a newsgroup got to do with
anything ?

You are posting the same bytes in your article, X number of
times. This wastes bandwidth. It takes me X times longer to
download. X number of copies of your article are stored on every
news-server carrying the OS2 groups. It wastes megabytes of diskspace
all over the world.

It is wasteful behaviour. You should change it.

Well you need to revise your _mistaken_ opinions. You are definately
in breach of netiquette. Check out Emily Postnews from news.answers

Don't be sorry. Just read the guidelines and adjust your behaviour
accordingly.

I seriously doubt it. I have yet to come across a news server that
rejects posts with multiple newsgroups listed in the Newsgroup:
header.

I do however know of servers that will block *incoming* articles from
other servers with more than 5+ newsgroups listed in the Newsgroups:
header.

Have you actually really tried posting to more than 1 newsgroup ?

If this really is the case then you need to educate your ISP. It must
be a SPAM haven.

Subj: anyone? I'm trying to compile VESA (for emx)

From: "Trancser" <jbergman@ixc.ixc.net>


Just as a test excersize, I have attempted to compiled VESA source (located
on hobbes). 

Everything seem to be goin' smooth, until what LOOKS like either warnings or
errors scrolled by ... I am wondering if any EXPERIENCED programmers have
been able to compile it (for example) successfully using PGCC/2?

If I your successful, I'd appreciate knowing what you did ...so that I can
correct and possibly compile ...and if successful go on to compiling OTHER
source awaiting compilation! :)

note: starting with the vesa source again, was merely a test excersize, so
that if it compiled ...well like I say, I could attempt to compile whatever
ELSE is out there ....get some apps goin' for /2! 

thanks!

I don't see you have used autoconf to produce a "corrected" configure
script
looks like a configure script created by plain autoconf.
Get the ported version, it includes further instructions.

It does? I downloaded the autoconf package I'm using from:

http://www.arrakis.es/~worm/os2.html

Could you provide a url (or whatever) to a complete package, if that is
incomplete?

Btw, can you give any suggestions or answers to the errors I'm getting below?

The Ver. 1.1 of OpenGL has nothing to do with the version of GLUT.
At least not necessarily.

I've looked at the header file (GLUT.H) shipped with IBM OpenGL 1.1
for OS/2. And the major version defined in this file is 2.

If you are referring to the package from Johannes Martin, VESA.1_8 with
SVGAKIT.1_8, then yes I used to use it quite successfully up until '97.
I don't know what the latest version is, but 1_8 compiled OK under EMX
with gcc 2.7.?, not sure. PGCC was not around then.
