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
David
CCleaner, for example, has an option for secure delete/erase
David
(no idea if it works in ros)

>trusting proprietary software
Kittygirl
David
the program being "for windows" does NOT mean it's proprietary
Kittygirl
tru
David
that said, most software is.
David
(there's decades worth of propietary software that is just simply not going to be opensourced any time soon)

this program is GPL
David
says it works on windows xp and up
David
so it may work in ros

It take 30 min or more for downloading wine !

How much size of wine ?
Alejandro Jeditobe
May be 20 mb

is it really that small on ROS?

iirc the arch package was sizeable

I think i have a problem about connecting to internet

Anyway.. I already cancelled the download
David
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.
Greg
It does
Oh. My bad. Never used it.
Daniel "TheReimi"
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.

We also use many of those DLLs, just with #if REACTOS <custom stuff> #else <original logic> #endif
Kirn
Wonder what it would take to implement an OS/2 subsystem
David
a driver
David
and an entire OS/2 userland
Kirn
No, the Windows NT implementation doesn't use any driver and it only provides just two OS/2 1.x DLLs.
Kirn
Which is enough to run the vast majority of OS/2 16-bit console programs
David
well NT during early development was designed to be an OS/2 successor
Anonymous
I think that some code from http://www.osfree.org/ can be reused. I don't really know, never looked at this
David
so maybe they kept part of that
David
however, what's the need?
Kirn
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)
Kirn
It showed up in the process table with it's own NT PID, along with os2ss.exe
Kirn
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
Kirn
Although it also is visible in the Win32 pipe namespace as well
Kirn
MSDN is a bit short on details, but not surprising since it's documenting something from 20 years ago
Kirn
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
Kirn
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
Kirn
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)
Kirn
If it acts up, it'll at least give me an idea of what ReactOS is missing
