It seems there was a little bug that prevented NewView to start. This has been fixed in a new release 2.2.28 Rewrite of OS/2 View.exe, reads INF and HLP files. Improvements include a new UI, remember size/position, select and copy from the window... etc. Some fixes for online application help mode NewView is developed by Aaron Lawrence.

The new site is: http://www.ecomstation.it/postgres.

Open eye of your digital camera
Native os/2 software. not \"killing\" but not killed :) ThirdEye is a control program for Serial port digital cameras.

What\'s new:

• Andy Porro fixed digicams: Olympus family, Kodak 210, Hewlett-Packard 200
• a dozen of small features added

mkaply says that there are two major things on the OS/2 horizon: \"We are switching away from VACPP(IBM compiler) to GCC (bug 177799). Over the next few weeks there will be checkins and we will be switched to GCC completely by 1.4a.

Most important functional changes:

• HELP Rearranged help texts on to be more helpfull
• FINDROOT Fixed for HPFS, had been broken since version 5.01
• DFSee Use 32-bit cylinder (CHS) values, upto 2Tb disk
• VOL Fixed reading/writing with DFSDOS (DFSIMGA.BAT)
• FAT Fixed DIR display at cluster 0 (allocation error)
• PTE/LVM Avoid direct recursion (F6 or F8 from the dialog)
• PTE Support scrolling text window while dialog is up
• PTE Fixed logical PgDn/PgUp hang on empty part-tables
• PTE Use decimal numbers by default; settings stick now
• screen Alt-F12, and \"-C\" switch invert text-window colors
• CREATE Fixed conflict with -t:type and -I:image options
• DFSWIN Fixed window update on large console (scroll-bars)
• status Display currently executing mode and command string
• PART Made \'active logical\' a minor warning only

Check DFS*.TXT files for details, all changes listed in DFSHIST.TXT. Registering DFSee will give you the right to use all 5.xx versions and get support plus a reasonable amount of assistance by email. Existing 4.xx registrations can be upgraded to 5.xx as well. But even more important, it enables further development of DFSee!

It\'s currently residing in ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/incoming but will probably be moved soon to ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc

The GCC v3.2.1 compiler for OS/2 was used. Two different versions of the .exe are included:

• lame-3-93-1.exe - Latest STABLE version of Lame
• lame-3-94a11.exe- Latest CVS Alpha version of Lame as at 7th March, 2003

I ran benchmarks with the following results: Lame switches used: -b 192 -ms

• Lame v3.93.1 Athlon optimisations, GCC 3.0.3: 11.5x
• Lame v3.93.1 Athlon optimisations, GCC 3.2.1: 13.9x
• Lame v3.94a11 No optimisations, GCC 3.0.3: 10.3x
• Lame v3.94a11 No optimisations, GCC 3.2.1: 13.4x
• Lame v3.94a11 Athlon optimisations, GCC 3.2.1: 15.7x

Clearly - the new GCC v3.2.1 compiler produces much faster code than GCC 3.0.3 - and faster again when Athlon switches are used. I\'d be interested to hear results from Pentium III/IV users if the new Athlon XP optimisations in GCC v3.2.1 produce executables that work on Intel hardware. I have only AMD machines here so can\'t test. Any comments/feedback email me at paul@smedley.info with LAME in the subject. Enjoy!
