Welcome to my OS/2 pages. On this site you will find a lot of OS/2 related material which I have collected or made during the past few years. Most of these pages are in Hungarian, but you will find some English pages as well. I hope you will find the information presented here useful and will come back regularly. I advice you not to skip this site if you do not know OS/2. Some of the information presented here can be useful on other platforms as well.

OS/2 news (last updated: 2001.05.01.)
These pages contain OS/2 related news and they are updated frequently. Unfortunately, the bulk of the information presented here is never covered by the Hungarian media. There are only 2 Hungarian computer magazines which do report OS/2 news: Chip and Új Alaplap (New Mother Board). The latest one also publishes my news articles which are presented here. If you are looking for OS/2 software this section might be the right place for you, because it contains a lot of useful links.

My articles written for Hungarian computer magazines (last updated: 2001.02.18.)
Since the foundation of the first (and unfortunately until now the last) Hungarian OS/2 computer magazine (OS/2 Times, net.Times) in 1996, I regularly publish OS/2 related articles. Unfortunately, the magazine was first reorganized and then discontinued in 1998. Since then I write for Új Alaplap (New Mother Board). In this section you can find the original copies of all of the articles I have ever written for these magazines.

Hungarian OS/2 FAQ (last updated: 2000.01.23.)
Since 1995 exists the Hungarian OS/2 FAQ, which contains the answers for more than 80 questions right now. It also contains more than 150 useful tips, which means that it is an excellent starting point for users who do not know OS/2 yet.

How to make a national fixpak? (last updated: 2001.05.16.)
Unfortunately, fixpak 12 was the last Warp 4 fixpak from which a Hungarian version was made. So I sat down and used the recipe presented here to create an unofficial Hungarian fixpak 15 from the American one. The same recipe can be used to create other national fixpaks.

OS/2 ftp index (updated every day)
The server xenia.sote.hu hosts the old ftp archive of the Hungarian Team OS/2. The same machine provides a compressed OS/2 ftp index which contains a HTML interface for 7 ftp sites combined with a search engine, including the files of the new Hungarian Team OS/2 site.

REXX programming course (last updated: 2000.10.22.)
Although this section is still in development, the basic REXX, OS/2 REXX, REXX extensions, Visual REXX, Object REXX and NetREXX courses are already available. Most operating systems (OS/2, DOS, Windows, Linux, etc.) have REXX interpreters and it is very easy to learn to program in REXX. If you want to solve your every day jobs fast and efficiently, you really need to learn this language! The section also contains a few self made REXX programs. For example, you will find here UpdCD, which can be used to build updated OS/2 installation CD-ROM's!

Presentation Manager programming course (last updated: 1998.11.14.)
These pages contain the PM Programming Course which has been published in OS/2 Times. It is an excellent material for those who want to learn more about the internals of OS/2.

How to use Freemail with OS/2 (last updated: 1999.12.11.)
For quite a few people in Hungary, the only way to access the internet is Freemail. This free email service was founded by the C3 Information Center and was later acquired by the Hungarian Telephone Company called Matávnet. Unfortunately, in the freemail help they do not mention OS/2, so it can be very difficult for beginner to use their service with OS/2. This section wants to fill this gap, because it explains how one should configure the built-in OS/2 dialer and 2 email programs for Freemail.

SLIP server with OS/2 (last updated: 1998.01.19.)
If you can program in REXX, you can quite easily make your own SLIP server. This section will get you going...
