possible, yes, but if the code is too unix-y, it may be too hard to be worth the trouble. you may be better off using existing windows safe-erase programs

CCleaner, for example, has an option for secure delete/erase

(no idea if it works in ros)

>trusting proprietary software

the program being "for windows" does NOT mean it's proprietary

tru

that said, most software is.

(there's decades worth of propietary software that is just simply not going to be opensourced any time soon)

https://eraser.heidi.ie/

this program is GPL

says it works on windows xp and up

so it may work in ros

very nice c:

Could also try bleachbit

whoever named that software needs to be bleached

isn't bleach like 50% alcohol

thats beside the point

bleach is 100% bleach

Ok

A new USB-experiments branch has been created guys ;)

Guess for what?;)

Seems a vgal, thomas USB effort

Plus code from GSOC student?

o

sounds awesome

Lol

WTF !!!

It take 30 min or more for downloading wine !

How much size of wine ?

May be 20 mb

is it really that small on ROS?

iirc the arch package was sizeable

May be 20 mb

I think i have a problem about connecting to internet

Anyway.. I already cancelled the download

Rule of thumb: if it doesn't finish in 30 seconds, click the [X]. if you really need wine-gecko (which is NOT wine itself, just the gecko package!), it can be installed separately from https://svn.reactos.org/amine/wine_gecko-2.40-x86.msi ;P

ReactOS doesn't use WINE

It does

ReactOS doesn't use WINE

As far as I was aware, at least.

It does

Oh. My bad. Never used it.

Many user mode dlls are synched by Amine and some other parts too. All stuff which can be ported because it has no strange make-linux-compatible hacks and dependencies.

Ah

Amine Khaldi (https://jira.reactos.org/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=aminekhaldi) resolved CORE-11964 - Broken GUI as 'Fixed' https://jira.reactos.org/browse/CORE-11964 The issue is fixed in r72645 and we won't need to alter comctl32 because the relevant functions in win32k use the size of structure, as defined pre-vista, so it doesn't matter when we pass (from comctl32 for example) a size with the one extra member.

We also use many of those DLLs, just with #if REACTOS <custom stuff> #else <original logic> #endif

Wonder what it would take to implement an OS/2 subsystem

a driver

and an entire OS/2 userland

ReactOS doesn't use WINE

It does

No, the Windows NT implementation doesn't use any driver and it only provides just two OS/2 1.x DLLs.

Which is enough to run the vast majority of OS/2 16-bit console programs

well NT during early development was designed to be an OS/2 successor

I think that some code from http://www.osfree.org/ can be reused. I don't really know, never looked at this

so maybe they kept part of that

however, what's the need?

Had a ThinkPad laptop years ago running Windows 2000, and IBM only provided the BIOS update as a disk image self-extractor in "Family Mode" (hybrid DOS and OS/2 1.x binary), and Windows 2000 ran the OS/2 section (as DOS cannot do raw sector writes on NT)

It showed up in the process table with it's own NT PID, along with os2ss.exe

I was reading the Windows NT stuff on MSDN, and it said there is a way to port OS/2 drivers to NT so that the driver's pipe interface was visible to the OS/2 subsystem

Although it also is visible in the Win32 pipe namespace as well

MSDN is a bit short on details, but not surprising since it's documenting something from 20 years ago

There's also mention of an additional package to add support for Presentation Manager (GUI) programs, called Windows NT Add-On Subsystem for Presentation Manager; I've got disk images of the floppies for it, but I haven't installed Windows 2000 in a VM yet to play with it

OS/2 1.x uses the same NE executable format as Windows and DOS 4.0, but the NT OS/2 subsystem doesn't run those programs atop of NTVDM, instead it gives them some odd shim to run natively and have wider NT API access, including a few extra functions in DOSCALLS.DLL to thunk calls to Win32 DLLs

Might be best to just rip the relevant files from Win2K and shove them into a ReactOS install, and see if I can coax it into running a few OS/2 programs (which I could just use the OpenWatcom compiler to build, it still supports OS/2 1.x)

If it acts up, it'll at least give me an idea of what ReactOS is missing
