it has come to my attention that spammers are now monitoring this list, harvesting email addresses. I'm slowly starting to get spam, filters are catching most of it, but i ONLY use this email box for the list and for talking to a select few people, so i know it's coming from the list. You might want to review the users in this list...

Problem running ReactOS on virtualPC

by Hong Jiang

I'm running reactos on virtualPC on my powerbook. Does anyone has the same configuration? When the systems start up, there's message "Memory allocation failed: out of memory". Later when the splash screen appears, virtualPC alerts a CPU error and restarts. But I allocated 64M ram for it, which is more than enough.

Well it runs but first you get two errors saying that he cant show all the information. I attached two images to show you it. :)

Abiword and ReactOS

by DutchTux

I just downloaded a CVS build (VMware image With Full Color Video Driver) of 25 march and got Abiword installed and working on ReactOS. it's not looking good as in Windows/Linux. Missing Scrollbar the document doesnt resize when the window is Maximized. I added a screenshot to show it to you how it looks. As you can see you can Write text and change it, save the document....and open a document. The only things I noticed is that the help menu gots duplicated items and that you cant copy and paste, Undo,Redo, and go fullscreen.

Re: [ros-general] writing file manager / how to use lex?

There's no reason you can't write an alternative, but I do think that you should first consider furthering ROS Explorer. Another plus for ROS Explorer is that it's written in C++ and can be compiled with MingW. A Delphi shell will not easily be included with the ReactOS distribution - but perhaps that's not what you want anyway. These are not reasons not to begin work on your file manager - just things to be aware of before you begin. The webpage for ROS Explorer is here: http://www.sky.franken.de/explorer/ The source code is in the ReactOS source under: reactos\subsys\system\explorer Cheers Jason __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

WinAPI questions

by Jan Tisje

hi, I have some problems accessing the filesystem. How do I discover the network neigbourhood (servers and shares)? I used WNetOpenEnum / WNetEnumResource, but they return a framework of "containers". I did not find an easy way to select the container that lists the known computers. It looks like Windows identifies the containers by their localized names: (outch!) Microsoft-Terminaldienste Scope: GLOBALNET Type: ANY Display: GENERIC SERVER Usage: Container Microsoft Windows-Netzwerk Scope: GLOBALNET Type: ANY Display: GENERIC SERVER Usage: Container TEAM Scope: GLOBALNET Type: ANY Display: DOMAIN GENERIC Usage: Container \\JPT Scope: GLOBALNET Type: ANY Display: GENERIC SERVER Usage: Container \\JPT\SPIELE Scope: GLOBALNET Type: ANY DISK Display: DOMAIN GENERIC SERVER SHARE Usage: Share \\JPT\DVD Scope: GLOBALNET Type: ANY DISK Display: DOMAIN GENERIC SERVER SHARE Usage: Share \\JPT\DATEN Scope: GLOBALNET Type: ANY DISK Display: DOMAIN GENERIC SERVER SHARE Usage: Share [...] Is there any other way of listing shares and servers? Do you know a trick to get the network neigbourhoud instead of terminal services and the other stuff? This calls are SLOW. This is the part, which made me hate MS explorer. because it hangs whole minutes doing strange things on the network. Will ROS be more stable and fast? Or should I keep an eye on multithreading? Or implement SMB from scratch? BTW, How do you find files / dirs in filesystem? I used delphi findfirst/findnext, which seems to be a direct mapping to WinAPI findfirst/next. When I try to access removable drives without media, I get those annoying requests to insert a medium into the drive. the modern variant of old "abort retry ignore", but with no effect. Any way to work around? read the state of the drive before reading files? How? Jan
