HI, all
How can I convert the C6.0 program of OS/2 platform TO windows2000/xp
platform.
The program occurs a lot of errors in Windows 2000/xp when compiled.
And I hope a quick way to solve it, not read the code line by line.
Thank you very much

This is going to be tricky as it probably uses lots of OS/2 system
functions.

There is no quick way, unless you can buy an OS/2 emulation library
for Win32. I very much doubt that a useful one exists, given that OS/2
was generally disliked by MS.
So I guess you have to analyse each error, and write a dummy function
with the same parameters, which then called a Win32 function which did
the same as the OS/2 one was supposed to.

Errrmmm... OS/2 was partly written by MS and went on to form the basis
for WinNT when MS and IBM went their separate ways. You can still see
traces of OS/2 in WinXP today.

Doesn't change the fact that MS not only disliked OS/2, but
successfully pressured IBM to stop selling the retail version. During
the time they were helping to develop it, they were also developing
Windows, and withdrew from the OS/2 venture as soon as they had a
competing product.
That said, NT, and apparently Win2000 (it's in the help) have an "OS/2
subsystem" which will run 16-bit OS/2 console programs. I don't know
if it's still present in XP.

No, it isn't present in XP (I've had occasion to ask).

For a product they disliked they stuck with it for an awfully long
time - OS/2 1.3 was the only supported OS for SQL Server for a good
couple of years after WinNT became available.
Never had cause to use NT's OS/2 subsystem, although I knew of its
existence in NT3.x at least. I bet you can still get it for XP if you
know where to look, even if you have to run it in W2K compatibility
mode.

I don't remember the dates, but that was likely the Sybase SQL Server,
before MS modified it. Sybase later regretted making that deal. The
product was actually available for other OS's, but MS sold only the
OS/2 version.

Hi all.
I've installed Bloodshed Dev-C++ on a Windows 2000 SP4 machine. I'm using
MinGW 3.4.2.
I'd like to temporarily disable standard functions to write to stderr, i.e.
for instance redirect stderr to a temporary file (or /dev/null but is there
an equivalent under Windows? Is it "nul:") and then to *restore* the
default stderr so that standard library functions that write to stderr
produce output again.
