That's what i did., nearly in fact: in sys:libs/iODBC, Not as stated on the website;

I have renamed it and am seeing the drivers now.

If i understand what i did read about ODBC what i need now is a local database or a database on a remote computer to connect ot.
Any suggestion to which remote database i might connect?

@afxgroup

Great to hear you are the author. If i inderstand your avatar and emoticons it was pretty exhausting, or you are wasting? your energy elsewhere ;)

The question in fact is: can i easily test what is in the 2 archives? How?

Here is what i tried:

I have all the iODBC files in sys:libs drawer.
I do see 2 icons iODBC and iODBCtest(SQL)
clicking on iODBC a gui appears "IODBC Source Administrator" and immediately a "IODBC Data Source Administrator" message appears " No ODBC drivers installed"
Clicking OK, and coming back to "iODBC Source Administrator " clicking in the 'System DSN's Add (a system Data Source Name) the same message appears, clicking on OK an other requester gui appears "Choose an ODBC Driver" However no driver is present in the list.

In the "iODBC Data Source Administrator" when chosing the ODBC Drivers tab, no drivers in the list neither.

In the about tab i see the 3 files
"iODBC Driver Manager" libiodbs.so - - v3.52.7
"iODBC Adminsitrator " iODBC 'Wed Dec' 362 kB V3.52.7
"iODBC installer" libiodbcinst.so - - V 3.52.7


Going back to the ODBC drawer & clickin on iODBC test the program outputs:

"ODBC Demonstration program
This program shows an interactive SQL processor
Driver Manager: 03.52.0709.0909
1: SQLDriverConnect = [iODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not found and no default driver specified. Driver could not be loaded (0) SQLSTATE=IM002
1: ODBC_Connect = [iODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not found and no default driver specified. Driver could not be loaded (0) SQLSTATE=IM002

Have a nice day."

I have the SQL Manager drawer in sys:utilities, clickin on its icon the "SQL manager -NoNme.sql appears" and another gui connect to an ODBC data source" appears,
The gadget "Select the DSN to use" does not show any available DSN.

When clicking on NewDSN button a "SQL manager" window appears with the lines:
Sys:Libs/ODBC/iODBC: Unknown command
Sys:Libs/ODBC/iODBC failed returncode 10

I suppose i should also know of some (free) database to connect to.

Thanks for your programming and for your help

@afxgroup

Thanks, i am continuing llokong at this

I assembled the usefull links at
http://users.online.be/AD/ODBC.htm

I have the impression that it should be possible tot do a an easy test with the file ioDBCtest and with iODBC (data source administrator) whose gui tells me no driver is installed, so allthough they are present i would like to know how they can be added.
Did not find this yet in any doc.
I did not find a contact for the Amiga port neither

@Raziel


The windows version is far ahead of the Amiga version
To know where this last is standing you should download from the 'essential' links given on
http://users.online.be/AD/

above the table (not in the table, these are just executables)

It is still pretty usable. I use it anywhere instead of arexx, as it is much easier to create a gui. (probably the simplest way on the Amiga)

Hello,
Although i have not been being busy working on the port of Gui4Cli to OS4 for some months, and do not plan to do before the end of summer, you will find a working beta executable here

@afxgroup


I am trying to maintain the Gui4CLi scripting language source from D Keletsekis.

I have ported it to OS4 (only the pipe functionality is still a problem)
I have not worked on it for some months now.
I think better database support internally (comma separated files), or external interface to big databases would be a very nice thing te have as a first expansion of the language.
I guess i could try to use the library to build a Gui4Cli written ODBC manager.
Since i did not find 'starter' documentation about it, I am interested of discussing this with knowledgeabel people.

I spotted this link from Amiganew
http://www.amigasoft.net/pages/odbc/downloads.asp
downloaded the software

Seems interesting enough but some newbee introduction might help.

What can you do with it and how, first steps anybody?

@Chris


I do get the error before i can even choose where to install
it

@redfox


I downloaded from
http://www.netsurf-browser.org/downloads/amiga/

trying to install i get the error 'resutlstring too long in line 231'
How can this be overcome?

Hello i am trying to make a small arexx program?delivering me the content of a remote directory

I

/* */
OPTIONS RESULTS
ADDRESS AMIFTP

GETATTR STEM fi. FILELIST /* Get information about folder */
(I used also GETATTR fi. FILELIST)
SAY fi.VERSION

Address COMMAND

SetEnv '.AFld.Ttl' fi.FILELIST.COUNT
SetEnv '.AFld.N1' fi.FILELIST.1.NAME
SetEnv '.AFld.S1' fi.FILELIST.1.SIZE
SetEnv '.AFld.T1' fi.FILELIST.1.TYPE

the environmental variables do contain FI.FILELIS.COUBNT etc
the SAY command delivers FI.VERSION

i am not aware of doing something wrong.

Any suggestion?

Thanks

Joseph

@desler


I do have problems opening the archive.
Any one else?

@Kicko

As said in my last mail in the end, after a closing of tunenet with Amigans added, the behavior appeared to change, and i was able to save also using 'Save Playlist' In fact i was not able to reproduce the initial problems any more.
I don't know what happened. Maybe it was the autopoint commodity i had installed newly, to which i was not accustomed enough.
Problem closed anyway i would say.

Thanks for your help

@Kicko

I tried to do the basic saving stuff wth the Amigans radio before it was in the air. I am rather sure i tested every possibility. I created nearly 10 different saving lists in the way you suggested. (clearing or not the existing list: the empty list thesn saves perfectly, but the added Amigans radio did not appear) Not clearing the list i could save this list too any times as a different file, but the added Amigans radio visible on the playlist did not appear in the saved playlist. I checked this as well viewing the playlist with multiview, as reloading the saved playlist in Tunenet.

Only thing i could do is edit the list manually (coming to think of it now)
I also just found out that adding the Amigans URL and closing Tunenet saved the line OK.
Since i did that the behavior is quite different and more as expected. I don't know what changed.
Still a suggestion:
I would expect to be able in 'edit' mode to add an URL

@Kicko

Thanks this was indeed what i wanted: how to add a station tot the playlist.
Following your instruction i did add the station to the visible playlist

However i seem not to be able to save the list with the added station. (Save Playlist ) When reopening the saved playlist the Amigans station is not added.??

Hello can this be clarified a bit?
"via the streaming options on both (which differ) enter the URL http://www.amigans.net:8000 "
Thanks

@bean
Thanks
works great now

@All

Next problem: Tunenet.

In the playlist i have a new-alert.wav which i canhear.
Internet radio tab shows me a lot or stations.
I remember just clicking one made this one play.
Now initially i got a requester telling me that if i did not use Mp3 i should remove mp3_cast . I did this but nothing goes really

@ZeroG

Thank you very much

DVD is playing OK

@DaveAE

Thanks i got a testsound loud & clear.
What are thoose units 0-3 & music unit btw?
I don't hear a DVD playing yet though DVD

@Raziel
Thanks

I would then start with using AHI
What settings should i use ?
