The repository is on the Jaxo's github: https://github dot com/Jaxo/yaxx It also contains a pre-compiled version (Rexxoid.apk) ready to be downloaded to android devices. "Rexx for Android" descends from our Rexx implementation that both Joe Latone and me wrote in early 2000. For history, Joe and me were Researcher at the TJ Watson Center in the mid 80's. There, we had the chance to meet with Mike and to appreciate his vision (inventing JavaScript even before Java was born.) Twenty years later, we realized our own implementation of Rexx in C++. Designed with portability in mind, it was aimed at running on mobile devices (Palm OS, at this time), beside the classic Windoze and Linux. As you know, we did a first port to Palm OS in 2000, and in 2010, a port to Android. Best Regards, Joe and Pierre. -------------------------------------------------- **= Email 2 ==========================** Date: Sat, 03 Aug 2013 16:20:12 +1000 From: Ed Durrant Subject: Where is the OS2 desktop Archives directory set? Hi All, I'm so used to my eCS system simply working for the last 6-7 years without the need for any changes that I've forgotten this basic fact and I can't find any assistance from Help or on the 'net. The system is now warning me at start up that there may not be sufficient space in e:\os2\archives to hold a backup. (e: is the boot drive). I think I can override this in config.sys but can't remember where or how to do this. It doesn't appear to be in desktop properties either, wher you can turn it on and off. -- Regards Ed -------------------------------------------------- === **= Email 3 ==========================** Date: Sat, 03 Aug 2013 16:11:50 +0800 (WST) From: "Ian Manners" Subject: Re: Where is the OS2 desktop Archives directory set?

If you have XWorkplace installed, try System - XWorkplace Installation - XWorkspace Settup click on Startup/shutdown features untick 'Replace Desktop archiving' and see if it puts if back, apart from that, see if anyone else has any ideas.

I am almost certain there is an override "Set" statement that can go in Config.sys that tell the archive logic to use another drive - which is what I want to do (the fact is that E: has more than enough free space but I suspect something is corrupt there - so putting the archive on another partition, seems like a safe thing to do). Arcinst works by the way - it creates a new "initial" backup on E: without any problems. -- Regards Ed -------------------------------------------------- === **= Email 5 ==========================** Date: Sat, 03 Aug 2013 23:06:22 +1000 From: Peter Moylan Subject: Re: Where is the OS2 desktop Archives directory set?

Go to Archives tab. This doesn't solve your basic problem, though, since you can't specify a path for the archives. In fact I've always had the impression that this is hard-coded. There doesn't seem to be anything in my CONFIG.SYS or OS2.INI or OS2SYS.INI that would control it. There is or was an application called "Config Info". I don't have it installed here, it seems, but I seem to recall that it included a file giving the meaning of each CONFIG.SYS option. What I don't know is whether the option you want even exists. -- Peter Moylan peter at pmoylan dot org http://www.pmoylan dot org -------------------------------------------------- ===
