Yep, but not all info can be found in docs. emx headers contains some things
which not documentes and can be taken only from original headers.

Well. Try contact Eberhard Mattes (mattes at windhager.de).

Why I can't distribute IBM's? Or your talking about libs, not headers?

But what about incorrect output?

may be src/rexx/pmrexx. It is more rexx part.

Well. Also exist regutil, which more complex, but not os/2 (win/*nix).

Hm... How your determine this? pause seems not to ba part of, but included. From
other side, md more required, but not included.

If you say about GPI_xxx functions - yes, it shall be one with the
same names, if you say about GPI internals - then say me how we can do it.

Few words about cmd utils:
- none of them is completed, all are missing signal (Ctrl+C/Break) handlers and
exception handlers. Also, return codes must be revised and updated according to
oryginal utils. Even though, they're mosty usefull
- some functionality is based on clib functions, and needs to be replaced by
custom
cmd_* functions, that's why label doesn't accept empty line (yup I know i could
use
gets, but it is going to be replaced anyway, so I won't bother now)
- osFree's cmd will include only necessary commands, this includes commands,
which
effect only current process (eg.: cd, chcp, verify) or those, wchich will have
limited
functionality when built as standalone (eg. set command, which parses it's
commandline by it self) and of course batchprocessing commands
- if you think you found a 'bug':
- check is that feature is implemented
- check for comments in the code, maybe it is already mentioned here
- check for oryginal command behaviour (maybe it is the way it should be)

Hi,
So, now it seems that there is some potential for FreePM progress.
Embrional draft of it is now compiled with VAC3.08 and VAC4.

So if anybody is interesting in it,
there is www site
http://frepm.sourceforge.net/
Phorums:
http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=60313
Mail list
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/list ... -frepm-dev
and CVS assess
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=60313
Well, CVS at sourceforge seems to be a rather baggy, but I still
think that it can be usable.

Also it can be possible to douwnload periodically FreePM snapshorts
to some ftp, say osfree.

SY,
EK
