New SUSE (SLES) Server

My old server (x86 64-bit) that I had SUSE on it has been giving me headaches for several years. Many years ago, the hard drive crashed when I had SLES 11 SP2 installed on it. So, I replaced the hard drive with a new hard drive and install SLES 12 SP3. Everything was great for […]

EBCDIC Code Pages and Square Brackets

Back in the previous millennium, I created a set of simple routines for handling initialization files (section & parameters) that worked all platforms. i.e. Windows, Linux, Unix, IBM i (OS/400) and z/OS (mainframe). And over the years, the routines have worked well on any platform I tested them on. i.e. Sample initialization file The problem […]

Time to Move to Windows 11

My current ASUS ZenBook Pro 15.6” laptop and desktop PC still work reasonable well but they cannot be upgraded to Windows 11 Pro. Sad but true (I only purchased them back in 2019). Picking out a new desktop PC is easy because I simply tell Alan at Mega Computers what I want but for the […]

My Bad – Accessibility Features Were Missing

I did an oops and I’m not sure when. I’ve always want to treat all people the same way, that is why I make sure Capitalware products support as many languages as possible and support people with reading issues. Capitalware uses Excelsior Jet to compile and link Java applications into a stand-alone executable and on […]

Explanation of Parameters in an IniFile of Capitalware Products

I have a new customer who is having a problem understanding parameters and relations of parameters in the IniFile (initialization file aka configuration file). By no means am I taking a shot or putting down or marking fun of the customer. When English is not your first language and a new user is trying to […]

Updated SimpleLogger Class

The other day, someone emailed me and asked if I could add code to externalize the default values used by the SimpleLogger Class. I thought about it and figured it would be reasonably straight forward. Hence, here are the JVM Environment variables that the SimpleLogger Class supports: SimpleLogger.LogFileName – any valid file name SimpleLogger.LogDirectory – […]

My SimpleLogger can be a Replacement for Log4J

In this blog post, don’t get me wrong, I think Log4J is a great product and I am not trying to discourage anyone from using it. I have used Log4J v1.x on hundreds of projects for customers and myself. It has always worked exactly as expected. I have never used Log4J v2.x, so I cannot/will […]
