Porting software to OS/2 sub-forum?

[Paul Smedley]

Hi all,

I see we have a Programming forum - what do people think about having a separate forum (or sub-forum) for people who are wanting to learn how to do Unix ports to OS/2, either using my build environment, or their own?

Or should we just use the main programming forum?

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Paul

I don't have a problem creating sub-forums, but I don't know if the volume of messages will be to high that will need to create a "Unix ports to OS/2".

I think we should try first putting it on the "Programming" forum and if we have an issue create a sub-forum about "Unix ports to OS/2".

You are more than welcome to start sharing information about porting more software to OS/2-eCS. And I also want to include more content on the EDM/2. I'm 100% behind the idea to share information about this subject.

Regards
Martin

I'm inclined to agree with Martin. Odds are there won't be all that much programming related traffic in total.

We could always grab parts of threads in to a new none user edit thread and mark it as a sticky at the top.

"Paul's programming basics and tips"
"Dave's programming basics and tips"

Or is there a way to lock a thread so only one person can edit it ?
ie, Paul/Dave/other could then just point people to that thread/sticky.

If I get a chance while looking for some of my old OS/2 stuff I'll experiment

My thoughts are more encouraging people to post their questions in one place - if I start trying to document tips, I'll never get any ports done

But I'll always try and answer peoples questions

Hi Paul,

I was thinking more about someone like myself copying stuff from your posts (or others) and adding to a main "Pauls tips n tricks" one with a note at the bottom that all info came from you but has been scrapped from your posts

OH!!! I like that idea. Could even be a page on the EDM wiki? With a sticky link to it from here?
