| OS/2 Starter Kit needs help! (from Christoph Vogelbusch) |
| The OS/2 Starter Kit is supposed to be a CD for an ONE-STEP installation of Drivers, Fixpacks, Java, Main-Apps, usefull Tools ... But it will also include a Disk1 creator for a proper Installation, How-To"s, OS/2-Tricks, OS/2-Link-Collection ... The finished CD is supposed to be hole and partly (e.g. want a Trick-Collection for you Homepage?) free I think this is a big goal, so I could need some help. Here are the ways how everybody can help: - send me your favorite Tricks, Progs (Links is enough(should be free software)), OS/2-Links - or come and join, there is a lot to do: creating installers (REXX), testing apps and helping to setup the directory-tree, Bookmarks and Trick-collection. -> URL: http://www-public.rz.uni-duesseldorf.de/~vogelbuc -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| RealAudio player source code available (from Fernando Cassia) |
| Almost every user out there has tried or read about the docs to make RealAudio player v3.0 work in a winos2 session (and lately also RealPlayer 5.0). However the overhead of loading a winos2 session JUST for playing audio could be avoided if we had a native player for .ra files... Well this dream of a native os/2 player is nearer now... since a group of Amiga programmers released a native player of RealAudio files for their platform. I hope some OS/2 audio gurus out there can take a look at the source and come up with an OS/2 player (or Netscape helper application). -> URL: HTTP://csc.smsu.edu/~strauser/RA.html -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |
| Team Trier Collection Vol.4 OS/2 CDROM now availab (from Thorsten Thielen) |
| Finally: The Team Trier Collection Vol.4 CDROM for OS/2 is now available! For only DM 10 it includes (among lots of other share- & freeware, demos, etc.):
Two comfortable menu-systems, a HTML interface that can be used with any web browser and a PM program, developed specially for the TTC, support you at selecting and installing the programs. The Fixpaks and (new!) XFree86/OS2 may be most easily installed directly from the CD! (Note: This CDROM may be of interest only to German-speaking or at least European customers: The documentation and the installation-programs on the CD are in German and shipping charges may get really steep outside of Europe ...) -> URL: http://www.teamos.ipcon.de/ -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |
| Quicktime Server *is* OpenSource! (from Adrian Gschwend) |
| Seems to be a very good week regarding streaming technologies on OS/2 :-) Apple today released the Quicktime Streaming Server, they call the OpenSource version "Darwin Streaming Server". The sourcecode is available at http://www.publicsource.apple.com/. You have to register (for free), that"s all. If you are working on a port, please let me know. I can offer http, ftp and *finally* also CVS access at OS/2 Netlabs. -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| OS/2 Warp 3 in a real "misssion critical" (from Frank Helk) |
| Ever needed the proof that OS/2 is suitable for "mission critical" systems ? The company I work for (NIS Ingenieurgesellschaft, Hanau, Germany) has supplied a computer system that drives the control rods of the german Gundremmingen nuclear power plant. The system has been inspected by experts and authorities and was proven to be suitable for such critical tasks, it is now running for about one year without any flaw. Guess the used operating system ... it"s OS/2 Warp 3. -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| Netlabs.org and OS2.org (from Andreas Linde) |
| The creators of Netlabs and OS2.org decided to cooperate much closer. Netlabs will concentrate to present everything for the OS/2 developers, so that the projects get the best support they can think of. There will be things like bug-tracking systen, CSV, documentations and much more. OS2.org will try to establish itself as an OS/2 support page for endusers. If you have ideas, suggestions or wishes please take part at the online discussion or send Netlabs or OS2.org an email. The first step is the presentation of the enduser pages for the Win32-OS2 and EverBlue projects. There you also find the links to the developer pages on Netlabs. -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| OS/2 gets passing boost in GNOME review (from Andreas Linde) |
From an article:"It doesn"t look like GNOME exploits much of the potential of CORBA just yet, but I personally consider this to be the most exciting promise of GNOME. It means GNOME may one day become as usable and flexible as the OS/2 Workplace Shell. The OS/2 Workplace Shell is CORBA-based and is probably the most powerful GUI desktop available." It goes on to talk about other OS/2 technology like OpenDoc further into the article. -> URL: http://linuxworld.com/linuxworld/lw-1999-04/lw-04-penguin.html -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |
