Hello all I've just acquired the final versions of Dux Bookshelf, American Heritage Dictionary with Roget's Thesaurus II and SimCity Classic. They work pretty well under Warp 4 but there are some minor problems that require a patch or two. I know DUX released the patch or patches in late '96 or early '97 before they stopped selling the product but I can't find an FTP or HTTP site that has these. Could some kind soul please give me a known working URL to retrieve these patches, or perhaps e-mail them to me as .zip files? Thanks and regards Cameron

The patches don't work for everyone (and for some people they actually make things worse) -- patched or not, frankly I wouldn't rely on'em because the odds are one day you'll click on them with nothing to show for it but an ever-expanding POPUPLOG.OS2 log. Some years back I sent a number of emails reporting all the problems to the Dux people -- heard from one of them 18 monhts later, the guy said basically, forget about it, we don't do OS/2 anymore. Now, what I'd love to see is the Dux apps released open-source, so we could perhaps compile them to run under EMX. Hey, don't even release the databases -- sell those, just let us access them via OS/2... -Ray T,

Sir: Thanks for informing me that some patches exist. But my version 2.0 seem to work fine as is. Guess for that other fellow post I'm Lucky. Did you check on Hobbes? <ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/00global.txt> is the index file to that site.

Hi. Have you looked at http://www.dux.com/ahdpatches.html I just tried it. Server returend zero size currently but I guess that problem will be corrected sooner or later. But looking at it thru the Google cache the OS/2 patches seems to available. Not sure if this link works for you: http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:nKUoOcbaveU:www.dux.com/ahdpatches.html+&hl=en Kind Regards knut Cameron Parle wrote: > > Hello all > > I've just acquired the final versions of Dux Bookshelf, American > Heritage Dictionary with Roget's Thesaurus II and SimCity Classic. > > They work pretty well under Warp 4 but there are some minor problems > that require a patch or two.

I have them but don't know if you want me to send them to you as I'm not sure how. "Knut St. Osmundsen" wrote: > Hi. > > Have you looked at http://www.dux.com/ahdpatches.html > > I just tried it.

Hello Alan and Knut Thanks, but another OS/2 user has e-mailed them to me and they've done the trick. Cache facilities are useful sometimes, but the Dux site has been off the air for quite a while (although over the years it seems to have gone up and down like a yo-yo).

Hello Bill If you'd like them, that's ok, I'll e-mail them to you now. I presume you'll post them in some web depository or binaries group. That's fine too. Your message is a little short though, a bit of courtesy wouldn't go astray.
