Jas dlls

2025 01 30

the image I have been working with has been 64 bits all along, so I wasted my time trying to recreate a 32 bit dll using vs 2015
I was once able to read pamresources.dll with this image, but I can no longer do so.
I thought I corrupted the original dlls.icx, so I created dlls2 and dlls3 images
neither one works even if I run just once after importing the needed maps.
I mis-spelled aModuleName := 'pamRebbbsources.dll' and dlls.ws still ran to completion.
I renamed pamresouces.dll to pamXXXresources.dll in the progFiles *x64) directy and dlls.ws still ran
class variable iconCache in PamIcon starts off as and empty LookupTable.
To do: run dlls.ws in a good Jas Dev JSO x86 image.

2025 01 28

used res hacker to dump contents of the good pamresources.dll to pamresources.rc
edited pamresources.rc and commented out the first line about LANGUAGE
following this https://www.codeproject.com/Tips/5349617/Creating-a-Resource-Only-DLL
created a new project that is a dll and an empty project. saved it.
add - > existing item added pamresources.rc
under Project → propertied → linker → advanced chnnged entry point to NOENTRY
build solution created a new win32project3.dll of size 168 kb that looks ok in Res Hacker
but the good pamresources.dll is 245K.
the dlls.ws not longer works. I think I toasted my image.
TO DO: use a jas open image and force a reload of the dll.
modify PamHolder class»loadModuleNamed: aModuleName notifyWindow: aWindow

Several days of trying to get VS 2022 to do anything dll got nowhere.
Downloaded and installed VS 2025 which has a simpler interface and some Internet help I found.
Both VS installs take hours with no visual updates.
But VS 2015 does not display some of the screens necessary to create a project. I suspect this is a Win 11 problem, The solution is a Win 7 or a Win 8 machine which could be used in the future.
VS 2015 would not install on Chuck's Vista machine. Vista is between XP and 7.
VS 2015 did install on my Lenovo with Win 8.1.
VS 2015 needs two files documented in picture vs2015.png in C:\Users\donald\Pictures\000craigslist.

created a pamresources.dll using VS 2015 and the non-Smalltalk source code/pamresources.rc as input.
The pamresource.dll created is NOT the same as the real on and it is NOT a resource dll. It has a menu!
Todo: try decomposing the real pamresources.dll using res hacker and the using that .rc file and the icons in VS 2015.

Res Hacker can save the contents of a dll to an .rc or .res file
under action, selecting save all resources saves the icons as individual files and creates an .rc file like this: 1000 ICON “ICON1000_1.ico”
An .rc file is a Resource Script.
dlls.ws will read the 89 icons in pamresource.dll of 2007 in an x86 image.
dlls.ws does not read any icons in either the x86 or x64 dlls in an x64 image.
The x64 pamresource.dll created by the z:jas code is NOT the same and it is NOT a resource dll. It has a menu!
Try using the z:jas project in VS2022 on the icons and .rc files in \temp\jasDlls

Z:\Jas\JSO\Non-Smalltalk Source Code\pamResources C++ 2010 has a VS project file that I was able to load and upgrade
A build prodcued a 32 bit dll.
Changing the target to x64, VS produced a 64 bit dll
Need unit tests in VAST 32 and Vast 64

To Do

get all the dlls from a clean vast 9.2 install and identify DONE2025 01 17
get all the dlls from JasDev in both progFilesx86 and programData and identify DONE
Look on Chuck's Vista machine for libGrib.dll and/or *.grb files
Get a list of all Jas dlls on Chuck's Vista machine.
Try to read all icons, and bitmaps in a 64 bit image using PamIconHolder class LoadModuleNamed:notify:
Run Jas in open image and put breakpoint in gribLibPath DONE Never hit
Run VP and confirm that ANLMagnitudes.dll, anlutils.dll, CgeoObject.dll, GeoProjections.dll, and GeoViewer.dll are used. DONE All but ANLMagnitudes are used by VP.
Start JasDevJso, run sim and confirm that ANLMagnitudes.dll, anlutils.dll, CgeoObject.dll, GeoProjections.dll, and GeoViewer.dll are used DONE none of these dlls are used by the sim.
