REMIND version 3.0 for OS/2
I DO NOT SUPPORT REMIND ON OS/2. THE OS/2 PORT HAS NOT BEEN MAINTAINED
FOR QUITE A WHILE.
This file contains instructions for compiling Remind under OS/2 with
Eberhard Mattes' emx/gcc compiler and with the Microsoft C compiler.
There are a number of targets in Makefile.os2, including OS/2-only
versions and bound versions (programs which run under OS/2 and DOS).
Note that there is also support for OS/2 using the Borland C
compiler--see the file README.BCC for details.
REMIND is a sophisticated alarm/calendar program. Details are given
in the man page, "remind.1".
1 - Read the file COPYRIGHT. (This may be called COPYRIGH on your
MS-DOS system.)
2 - To compile Remind for OS/2, you must use the Microsoft C compiler
or emx/gcc. You must also have a decent version of 'make', such
as dmake or GNU make.
3 - Change to "src" directory and examine the files config.h and custom.h
and adjust parameters as needed.
4 - Examine the file Makefile.os2 and adjust parameters as needed.
5 - Type:
make -f Makefile.os2
to see a list of targets. For example,
make -f Makefile.os2 emx
will build a 32-bit emx version which runs under OS/2 2.x and DOS.
NOTE that I do not have access to an OS/2 system, so support for this
system may not be as good as I'd like.
OS/2 support is courtesy of Russ Herman <rwh@gov.on.ca>, Norman Walsh
<norm@ora.com>, and Darrel Hankerson <hankedr@mail.auburn.edu>.
However, if you have problems, please contact me.
RELEASE NOTES -- miscellaneous info that couldn't go anywhere else!
1. POPUP REMINDERS
If you define the symbol OS2_POPUP in the OS/2 Makefile, you get
"full-screen popups" (as implemented by Russ Herman) for all MSG-
and MSF-type reminders. You may or may not like this feature.
One way of implementing popup reminders is to get the program
"pmpopup.exe" from ftp-os2.cdrom.com, and using Remind with the
'-k' option as follows from C:\STARTUP.CMD:
start /pm /inv /n remind "-kstart pmpopup %%s" remfile
Alternatively, if you have the Vrexx package, you can use this
procedure suggested by Norman Walsh:
Start remind like this in C:\STARTUP.CMD:
start /pm /inv /n \bin\remind -faz "-kstart popupmsg %%s" .reminders
The popups are done by POPUPMSG.CMD which looks like this:
-------------- Cut Here ---------- Cut Here ---------- Cut Here --------
/* PopUpMsg */
'@echo off'
parse arg theargs
if theargs = "" then
theargs = "Empty message"
call RxFuncAdd 'VInit', 'VREXX', 'VINIT'
initcode = VInit()
if initcode = 'ERROR' then signal CLEANUP
signal on failure name CLEANUP
signal on halt name CLEANUP
signal on syntax name CLEANUP
/* example VMsgBox call */
msg.0 = 1
msg.1 = theargs
call VDialogPos 50, 50
call VMsgBox 'Popup Message', msg, 1
/* end of CMD file */
CLEANUP:
call VExit
exit
-------------- Cut Here ---------- Cut Here ---------- Cut Here --------
See README.UNIX for some more information about Remind.
