Warpstock Europe is the European counterpart of Warpstock in the States. It is a three day event around OS/2 (an operating system of IBM) and its successor eComStation. This year it will be held in the buildings of the KHLim (dep. IWT) in Diepenbeek, Belgium. It will start on Friday, October 31st and end on Sunday, November 2nd. The KHLim is an abbreviation of 'Katholieke Hogeschool Limburg' and is some kind of technical university and counts about 5000 students. The KHLim is also part of an association with the KULeuven (which is the oldest and largest university of Belgium). The whole association counts about 60000 students. We expect as in the previous years about 600 enthusiasts and software and hardware developers from all over the world. The last two years we had visitors from 12 different countries. During the three days of the event we hope to have about 30 presentations in 4 auditoria. Subjects are device driver development, multimedia applications, networking, internet applications, ... I would like to ask you if anyone here can find the time to give a presentation about this software project UX2BS at Warpstock Europe. Best regards, John Bijnens -- CAD/CAM Resp. KHLim - Dep.

I'm doing a WPS desktop object that installs upon completion. Open it and it will prompt you for gcc281 or gcc321 and set the appropiate ux2_env. You'll need the new install script I moved the ux2_env commands out of the bootstrap and made a set_env.cmd which creates the ux2_env.cmd. ftp://os2ports.com/pub/unixos2/ux2bs/build_system/install/ux2bs_inst.cmd You should be able to go into /ports/ afterwards and build any port in there when they are finished with build Right now crypt and perl are ready which are done initially already. I was thinking of moving scripts out of install and put them in /ports/tools and put it in the path for the env and build commands. Maybe it should just go in /sbin? That's the legacy location for package tools. -- T.Sikora tsikora at ntplx dot net _______________________________________________ UX2BS mailing list UX2BS at os2ports.com http://os2ports.com/mailman/listinfo/ux2bs **= Email 3 ==========================** Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2003 12:06:40 -0400 From: "T.Sikora" Subject: It's done!

If you don't want to return to the originator batch file you should omit call and the called batch file will terminate the process. As far as calling to .EXE's... Don't. Just list them as-is. Call is just for executing other batch files. Hope that answers the question!

Not sure what installpkg is. I assume its a EXE, if so than just remove the call. So its... installpkg %uxrt%\wget.zip If it's a script like REXX or VBScript (On NT) than you are going to have to specify the shell to execute it with. Unfortunately none of these DOS based OS's can handle #!/bin/sh like unix. =/ ALSO you might want to check what your current directory is upon initial execution of the batch/cmd file. If your batch/cmd has to change directories somewhere, you should capture where the current directory is when the .cmd was first executed. That way you can return to the directory where the installpkg is ideally located. If you want a bit later tonight I can mess with it. I have to go to work and be productive right now. =( But if you guys need help with installer scripts I will be more than happy to help out. Most of my current job is messing with scripts like batch/cmd, perl, vbscript, javascript, bash, etc etc. I know a little of REXX too but its a bit rusty.
