FOC: Compatibility with old applications (Posted by Eugene Gorbunoff)
All users of eComStation 2.1 can activate File Open Container
(Homepage of FOC: http://ecomstation.ru/foc):
Execute command: focdlg /I


It's important check that all your apps are compatible with FOC.

For users: FOC is optimized, accelerated and debugged.
If you have troubles with new FOC (hangs, ..) then search the cause
in drivers (Ethernet drivers / filesystem drivers)

For developers:
use standard file open dialog calls.
don't modify the dialog (don't move elements / don't hide),
simplify your code.

SeaMonkey 2.6 unofficial (Newsreader news.warpevents.eu/)

Merry Christmas,

I’ve (hopefully) uploaded an unofficial SeaMonkey 2.6 to http://class='extlink'ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/incoming/mozilla/seamonkey-2.6.en-US.os2.zip


No OS/2 changes in this version besides the README so it probably has all the same problems as 2.5. So far I’ve had one font related crash, otherwise quite stable.

I also screwed up so this build depends on gcc432.dll.
I’ll upload Thunderbird, Firefox, lightening etc over the next few days. These will also be unofficial builds.

Dave

DFSee 11.0 availability from the webshop (Newsreader news.warpevents.eu/)

FYI about DFSee 11.0 availability

DFSee version 11.0 has been released yesterday, and is
available for download from the DFSee website as anounced.

Unfortunately, the webshop at mensys is not quite ready
for that yet, it still lists the version 10.x products.

However, ALL keys sold since July 2011 heve been VALID 11.x
keys already, and so are all keys sold now.

So with THE EXCEPTION OF CDROM PRODUCTS, there is no problem
getting a version 11.x key now, either new or as an upgrade.


For the CDROM, there is a chance that the 10.9 version would
be delivered, so I would hold off with getting those until
the Mensys site is properly updated.

Supports file-recovery of quick-formatted JFS filesystems,

Includes many other enhancements and fixes!


DFSee is a very powerful disk-utility with disk partitioning,
filesystem and disk analysis, some file recovery and UNDELETE
and smart imaging or cloning of partitions or complete disks.

Like any other major release, this is a PAID upgrade

ODIN 0.8.1 (2011-12-19) on Netlabs FTP server. (Newsreader news.warpevents.eu/)

There is a new release of ODIN on the Netlabs FTP server. ODIN is the Open Source project to provide a win32 API for OS/2 and eComStation. Originally to allow OS/2 users to run Windows 32 bit applications. Now used to port windows applications to OS/2 and eComStation. The Odin runtime is a requirement for the newest developed versions of JAVA and Flash 10 for OS/2 and eCS.

Changelog

0.8.1 (2011-12-19)
------------------

 - Port Odin from from IBM VAC 3 to the modern GCC 4 compiler and kLIBC
 runtime. This improves the stability by getting rid of the old and
 bogus C runtime of IBM VAC.
 - Increase the minor version number due to the compiler change.
 - shlwapi: Enable SHAutoComplete() stub (needed for WinRar 4.x).
 - kernel32: Add GetUserDefaultUILanguage() and VerifyVersionInfoW()
 (stub)needed for newer Flash modules.
 - Temporarily remove the win32k driver from the packages (not ready to
 be built with the new build framework at the present time).
