FYI: When I started the article series about DrDialog on the VOICE
newsletter, I was contacted by Dave Morrill, the developer of
DrDialog. He just wanted to tell he was surprised - and pleased - that
his product is still being used and he appreciates the series. In the
end we had exchanged only a few mails but he told me that the sources
for DrDialog were on a machine that had a crash some years ago and he
didn't check it since. I offered him that he sends us the disk drive
and we try to recover the stuff for him. He even did consider donating
the sources to the community... but:
- IBM holds the rights as it's EWS
- Is there a functional (up to date) Oberon compiler for OS/2 W4?
I think it's impossible that we'll see a NEW DrDialog. To some extent,
we can still use DLLs but in the long run I would love to see
something like VisualBasic on OS/2 - with the same ease of
programming, good docs (API) and available for rexx... <sigh>
Ok, so far for the future of DrDialog... ;-)
Now for the DrDialog install problem:
In the directory where DrDialog is installed, you should have a file
called "install.cmd". Running this script will create the WPS folder
if necessary and redo the associations.
(...better remove the "old" WPS folder first if it still exists)
Recently, I installed DrDialog, first obtained it from hobbes, then unzipped, then run install. All looked good but then I decided to move the drDialog folder...
