#MIGRATION FROM OS/2
7 messages in this thread
HI,
I am looking for a complete set of "The OS/2 to Windows Migration Kit plus tool
updates". Is this available freely. I see some of the tools mentioned in John
Halls article are here in this forum, but some essential parts don't seem to be
here. Can someone help me out. I am in South Africa, and I am willing to spend
some time downloading if necessary.
Regards

Hi Wayne.
Here is the current list of porting tools that are available in Lib 11:
" annote.zip Out of date, don't bother.
apicnt.zip It is there, upload date 7/22/92
helpc.zip help.zip 11/9/92
imagec.zip Uploaded 7/22/92
os2port.zip Get all of the 4/15/93 uploads instead
resconv.zip resc.zip, 11/9/92
updt01.zip Dated.
"
Look for 'KIT' in this section. Also look for Contributor == 70750,2341
Make sure you grap the ones on shared memory and queues if you use either
facility under OS/2.

Nancy,
Thanks for the info. Is annote.zip important. Where can I get a more
appropriate version?

Nancy,
I have just gone through every upload by 70750,2341 and have not found the
following files:
annote.zip
apicnt.zip
imagec.zip
os2port.zip
resconv.zip
updt01.zip
Am I going mad?
Please check on this, and re-upload them if I am right.
Regards
Wayne

Hi Wayne.
Sorry for the confusion. I've checked on what is still out there (some of
the files have been updated/removed/etc.) and here's a listing of what you
should be able to find in LIB 11 that covers OS/2 porting. Please let me
know if you don't find items on this list and I will make sure that they are
put back into the library.

Nancy,
Thanks for the info. I have all of the files you have listed, and from an
auto-port point of view, they haven't been much good.
Analyz.zip does not seem to work.
MS_SSED changes a file generated by SED, but only very slightly (not much
good).
SED only does some very rudimentry changes.
I will however try my luck.
Do you guys not have any other tools to make my life easier?

Hi Wayne.
Other than the tools I listed, we do not have any more tools to aid you in
porting – sorry.
