Hi all,  


I have added quite a few bits and pieces of information to the DFSee 'about'
dialog, to identify the platform better in problem solving scenarios.  


Added new information per OS:  

 Windows: Show better version/release info, including 8.1 and 10 (with 'update
edition' names) Show user and machine names  

 OS/2: Show 'distribution' info when found (ArcaOS, eComstation, plain IBM),
show internal kernel version  

 macOS: Show both DARWIN kernel as macOS version, including marketing name Show
logged on (sudo) user plus hostname and 32/64 bit executable usage  

 Linux: Show distribution name and info, when found (like in /etc/os-release or
/etc/lsb-release)
 Show logged on (sudo) user plus hostname  

 

REQUEST:
Please verify the information shown in the latest ABOUT dialog for your
operating system(s)
and let me know if something wrong, or missing.  

For any operating system not mentioned below, please reply to this message with
the about information.
The easiest way is to include or attach a small logfile, like the 'about.log'
that you can get with:  

 dfs -Q -w- -d- -l:about about  

Where 'dfs' is the executable (dfsos2.exe, dfswin.exe or dfsee, depending on
platform/OS)
as installed from the latest version 15.1 EXPERIMENTAL release from:  

 https://www.dfsee.com/download/index.php


An example from my ArcaOS development system shows:

Operating system version already tested (by me):  

 - macOS 10.13.4 High Sierra (64 bit version)
 - macOS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard (32-bit version)
 - Windows-10 1709, Fall Creators update
 - Windows-7 PRO, 32-bit
 - Windows-XP, servicepack 1 and servicepack 3
 - Linux Ubuntu 14.04
 - Linux Suse Leap 42.1
 - OS/2 ArcaOS 5.0
 - OS/2 eComStation 2.2beta
 - OS/2 eComStation 2.0  

 

For the macOS users (if any :) I would be interested to know if it works well
on
your version of macOS, it should install the 64-bit DFSee version on Sierra
and later (>= 10.12.0) and the 32-bit version before that. It should also
correctly
recognize 256-color capability on 10.7 (Lion) and later versions of Terminal.  

And, to make starting it easier after install, there is now a 'DFSee.app' that
you can add to your desktop or even better the Dock ...  

 

Thanks in advance!  


Regards, JvW
