Junk Spy is ready for download.

"It's a free prerelease version," says Randell Flint of Sundial. "We're finished with our internal testing, and now we want everyone to give it a try. Go straight to the Junk Spy page and get yourself a copy."

Junk Spy installs between your email program and your mail server where it watches for, and filters out, junk mail.

"This is a hands-off answer to everyone's junk mail problem" adds Rollin White, Junk Spy's Development Manager. "Here at Sundial we constantly analyze new junk mail and we also continuously update a database of known spammer sites. We do all of the logic enhancements and database updates so Junk Spy is always current."

"Junk Spy's logic engine lets us do much more than an end-user can with filters, since a mail program's filters can't access a database of clues or do extensive logic" says Randell Flint. "And because Junk Spy does all the checking based on Sundial's constant flow of database updates and detection clues, there's no need for a user to create filters and then keep them updated."

Junk Spy makes email more productive since you don't waste time cleaning trash messages from your inbox. It's another solution from Sundial - "Sundial Has The Answers".

MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator.

It allows you to play your favorite classic, and some not-so-classic arcade games (from the 70's through the 90's) from the comfort of your OS/2 desktop.

The OS/2 version has been updated to the latest version of the MAME core (.36 beta 7). If you are upgrading from beta 6, it will automatically update your Quick List and scan for newly supported games the first time you start it up so you don't have to manually rescan everything from scratch and erase your Favorites list.

I have released the source code to the latest version of MAME for OS/2 on the official MAME for OS/2 homepage. If anyone is interested, they can feel free to download it.

It requires GCC/PGCC, AR, LD, EMXBIND, and MAKE utilities. If all of these tools are properly installed, you should be able to unzip the source tree and type make in the top level directory to produce an executable.

If anyone has any questions or comments on the code, feel free to contact me.

Please note that the official web site's URL has changed. It is still part of what used to be Dave's Video Game Classics. Dave has changed his site's name to the Vintage Gaming Network which will have more of a focus on arcade emulation.

For those who don't know, DSTswitch is a utility that automatically adjusts the system time from standard time to daylight saving time and vice versa.

• RC868 time service support for both client and server

"I took the liberty of recompiling Tisean 2.0 to OS/2. Tisean is a bran-spanking new set of utilities that analyze the data in non-linear (chaotic) systems. (If you don't know what that means you don't need it :c) All the executables were compiled with gcc and g77 straight from the original source, so it's 100% compatable functionally with the *nix distributions."

"Audio/Data-CD-Creator is a set of WPS-classes working as a front-end for CDRecord/2 (a free CD recording program). Create your single / multisession data CDs and audio CDs (only TAO supported)
entirely via drag and drop. This front-end is of course fully WPS aware and fits seemlessly into your system. Full source code is provided.

New with this version:

-allow spaces in file names for data CDs
-Status window with progress bar for on-the-fly writing
-Status window for image writing
-Size checks before writing
-Check the size of image and CD at any time
-Several bug fixes and enhancements"

"File Freedom, a powerful freeware file manager for OS/2, has just received a small Y2K update so that file sorting order will be maintained in the new millenium.

(...)

Also, for the first time the source code is now available. Now you can add all those weird little features you wanted!!! So far the source code is found only on my web page, but feel free to distribute it elsewhere."

Product Description:
====================

PTime is a OS/2 program for project time capturing and evaluation.
With PTime you are able to record easily and rapidly the time expenditure for various projects or orders. Thus you always have an overview, also when dealing with several diverse projects simultaneously.

The feature of PTime:

• Time capturing via entering data into a chart
• Time capturing with reference to job description
• Extensive evaluations and statistics
• Display and print out of progress report, proof of working hours, monthly or annual overview of working hours
• Overview of project working hours or of activities of a single project
• Print outs of listings of all evaluations, statistics and master data
• Preview for all print outs
• As many databases as you like
• Imports and exports of data
• Simple and clear operation
• All project times are available at a glance
• At any time evaluations and statistics are immediately available

Limitations in the beta version:

• Import and export are not finished yet. Therefore it is disabled.
• Not all reports working yet.
• The statistics are not updated immediately at the moment. Only after reloading of the data base.

"The SysBar/2 Utility Set is back after a year of silence!

This new release (considered to be a maintenance release) contains various bug fixes, including the MS Exchange Server compatibility and a number of new features such as dynamic cell colorization schemes and more application support for the Pipe Monitor!

Now you can paint your system information cells using any colors you like! Moreover, these cells are now able to change their color dynamically as their contents reach certain values. For example, you can paint your swap file red when it grows too big. Or make the mail peeker appear dark grey when there's no mail, but shine as gold when the mail arrives.

Three more applications are supported now by the Pipe Monitor. You can watch your AICQ client status, SETI@HOME completion percentage and monitor your motherboard and CPU temperature, voltage and other
important parameters with 19 pipes supplied by the ThermoProtect environment monitor.

There's also a 'lazy shrink' feature which prevents frequently updated monitor cells to grow bigger and smaller too often, and a pop-up track list menu for easy track access in CD Player.

This new version is currently available at Hobbes and at the SysBar/2 support site."

Hi I have uploaded 3 more DIVE modules for my screensaver, PowerUtilities 'Screen saver for OS/2'.

It contains 3 DIVE animations:

  This makes use of any 256x256 pixel, 256 color PCX file. I have included 18 pcx files. You may add new ones, like company logo, etc.
• Fountain
• Vertexe

"Es gibt neues für Leute, die an MP3 interessiert sind: CDMagic, mit Internet-Zugriff (CDDB), eigener Datenbank-Verwaltung etc. pp. Anschauen + Downloaden"

"A new CSD update to FileStar/2, the premium quality, versatile PM file manager for OS/2, is available for all users who own version 2.0. You must have an existing install of FS/2 to apply this update.
The most significant change is in the directory copy/move functions.

FileStar/2 is a commercial product and a full featured, uninhibited -- but time limited -- trialware version of this same update will be available shortly for users to see what it can do."

"Snow Storm Software presents Escape GL V3, now incorporating NEW OpenGL 3D Modules including M&M's, concentrics, snowfalls, improved VRML support, new frames per second monitor, new world archives, improved performance, and improved stability.

"Diese Version beseitigt den Bug, der zu Traps mit einigen Brennern führte.

_Jeder_ Nutzer von CDRecord/2 sollte auf diese Version upgraden, da auch zur Zeit stabil laufende Konfigurationen unter bestimmten Umständen bei Verwendung älterer Versionen trappen können."

The beta is not really usable for endusers but developers can use it to compile PM versions of X-Applications. There is just a small demo included so maybe it does not make sense to download it now if you are not a developer.

Sourcecode of this betadrop is also included in the package, just install it. If you want to support this project you can subscribe to the EverBlue mailinglist at Egroups, we still need a lot of support because the project is not yet complete. I will set up a CVS server at Netlabs as soon as we decided how to organise the structure of the source. Informations about CVS will be posted to the EverBlue mailinglist.

BTW: I just wrote the new database backend for OS/2 Netlabs this week, we hope to be online in about a month! There will be a lot of great changes and the content will finnaly be much more up to date.
