mounting qnx2 filesystems in qnxrtp

I downloaded Qnx2fsysnew.tgz from qnx’s site, but alas no readme of any kind
or documentation that I can find online. It would appear as though make has
done it’s job, but I’m somewhat at a loss at how to correctly utilize q2fsys
and q2dinit.

The reason I’m asking, in case anyone cares…My company has a legacy
system that uses 2.x versions of qnx. I was hoping to mount some old
floppies and have a go at getting the old program to run on qnxrtp without
having to scrape together an old PC to run it on.

Help of any kind would be appreciated - URL’s, commands, written references,
etc.

Thanks!

Qnx2fsys is a QNX 4 utility. It is unlikely to run successfully unr
RTP. In fact, I’m kind of surprised it compiled under RTP.

I did notice that it was in qnx4 directories on the download site, but I
didn’t get any significant errors from the makefile, save that cc didn’t
recognize one of the CFLAGS (option -2).

Oh well, I know when to admit I’m in over my head. Thanks for taking the
time to respond!

That would have been another problem… -2 says to generate 16-bit code. :slight_smile:
