Read the OS/2 Debugging Handbook. It has fairly detailed
explanation of how this works.

Indeed, it is very valuable doc, I till now thought it is only for asm
programmers. Yet there are still a lot of "black squares" and I still
have a number of questions, say, how PM send and receive messages
from application (via pipes ? or shared mem and semafores ? or what ?)
and what functions are executed by PM's main() - it store PM's
initialisation, PM's system queue, what else ?

for those interested: I'm working on batch processor for osFree (not yet on
CVS):
what is working:
- batch reading and processing
- commands:
echo
endlocal
exit
goto
path
pause
prompt
rem
set (todo: beginlibpath,endlibpath)
setlocal (allows nesting!)
shift
verify

No, sorry.

Its not opensource. While its bundled with Warp and eCS its still copyrighted
IBM.

The best way to get it if you dont have it is to try to get a copy of either
Watcom C++ 11 (the none opensource) ore VACPP 3.x.

But as Bartosz says its on the eCS CD and the Warp 4.5x CD !

Beginning with 4.51, the toolkits slowly drifted into DevCon professional level
software, though some older kits (e.g. 4.50) are still available on the net.

ftp://ftp.continental.ru/PUB/distribs/O ... ostk45.zip

But wait, there is also a 4.52 toolkit:

Tolkit is not free.

BTW, You can use os2emx.h from emx as bse*.h headers. Only spit required (expect
16-bit functions). So, toolkit will not required (at the present time)

Hi all,
while testing Bart's batch processor, I've discovered a bug in the OS
code, and would like to have it confirmed.

I have to variables in my config.sys that look like this:

SET GREEXT=SDDGREXT,GREHOOK
SET C1=SDDGRADD,HWENDIVE

The stock "set" command misinterprets these variables, taking the comma
as a variable separator. So the environment dump is like this:

(...)
GREEXT=SDDGREXT
GREHOOK
C1=SDDGRADD
HWENDIVE
(...)

The getenv() function also gets fooled by these variables, so I think
it's a bug in the underlying OS/2 API for retrieving the environment.

I am curious to see if it is a problem with my OS revision (WSeB + FP2)
or a general fault. Maybe it is fixed in FP3, but since FP2 is the last
free one I cannot test it.

Anyone can confirm this bug?

Thankyou!
Bye
