Osuwari (Sitting) Multi for OS/2 PM

/SRA /people /akira /os2 /Osuwari Multi for OS2 PM/

1999/03/05 -> Japanese Page


Osuwari (Sitting) Multi is well known desktop accessory in Japan. It was originally developped for Win32 (95/NT) and I used this on my 95/NT machines.

Recently, I found UNIX/X version of Osuwari Multi. It comes full source code and pictures. Now Osuwari Multi works both Windows and X, and there are source and pictures, why not on OS/2 PM? So, I ported it to OS/2 PM.

After released it in Japan, I implemented another program, and on its screen shot, I used three (Win32, X, and PM) version of Osuwari Multi on each active windows. Serveral japanime fans (OTAKU) looked at that screen shot asks international release of Osuwari Multi. Now I appended english message support in Osuwari Multi (for OS/2 PM), and prepared english documents, and releasing it to international OS/2 community.

Download

Version 1.03 - applied new Shape Window Library
Becomes mush lighter, due to new Shape Window Library. Also appended 'idle' option, it runs 'multi' in idle priority. But 'idle' option sometimes causes trouble. Check document to use this option.

Version 1.02 - first internaltional release
Appended english message support and prepared english document. Command line option 'en' enables english message support. Otherwise, messages are in japanese.

Version 1.01 - japanese only version
First release have several troubles in Warp4 series. It seems result of differecnes on window control methods between Warp3 and Warp4. This was fixed with 'WS_TOPMOST' window style (undocumented in Warp3).

Version 1.00 - first release
It is faster than version 1.01, but causes many troubles on Warp4.

Screen Shots

Pictures and control logic is based on UNIX/X version. But window system differs a lot, program itself is entirely build from scratch. Message balloon is rather resemmbles to original windows version.

About Dialog

I can't image good translation of japanese slangs *NadeNade* and *FuniFuni* into english. If somebody think of good translations, let me know.
