CoPlot is a commerical package, similar to SigmaPlot or perhaps Xact. It is written in Java, but is very fast (very nice on a PII-300 laptop even). It is cheaper than either SigmaPlot or Xact.
<http://www.coplot.com>

A free trial is available, and although OS/2 isn't officially supported, OS/2 startup .CMD files are available in the package. (They mostly work, with only very minor modification).

If you like to see OS/2 officially supported, they encourage you to contact them:

Do you ever find drag and drop to be clumsy and inconvenient?
Do you ever wonder if the OS/2 UI is still capable of innovation?
Do you ever wish for something to show off to the Mac & Win crowd?

If you answered yes to any of the above, you'll want to try the new release of DragText. v3.7 redefines the ergonomics of d&d with OverDrag, the most comprehensive set of while-you-drag features found on any platform.

Now, whenever you use DT or the WPS to drag text or objects, you can click a button or press a key to:

• open folders
• locate objects
• scroll windows
• minimize & restore
• switch virtual desktops
• and more...

After the drag is over, DragText will even clean up after itself.

Of course, DragText continues to offer all its other features:

• drag & drop text, file, and URL handling
• unparalleled WPS-integration features
• DTProgram, a versatile program object replacement

To download DragText v3.7, point your browser at: This locationd

drgtxt37.zip is also available from hobbes and BMT Micro.

New vCOMPAT is out for public download. Please note that this version contains MUCH new code and is BETA, so be careful.
vCOMPAT is a special VDD, that will fix some issues in VDMs to further enhance compatibility. It contains plenty of fixes and some of them are user-controlable via Properties.

Additions for 0.31b:
- Magical VM Patcher hooks moved from VDM to VDD-space
- DPMI Anti-CLI code included
- DPMI Workarounds for application "bugs" (e.g. Samn Max and Alien Legacy)
- Magical VM Patcher also removes DPMI Turbo Pascal CRT Unit bug (Error 200)

This means DooM, Samn Max and many many other DPMI games are now running unpatched in VDMs.

cu, Kiewitz

P.S.: Alien Legacy is one of the games that require a change in the OS/2 / eCS kernel. I hope that the fix will get available somewhere in November.

SlackWare HangMan 1.03b (19. Juni 2001). Hangman is a simple word guessing game that allows a player the chance to guess letters of a hidden word (or the word itself).

To be fun, most of the words should be at least 4 characters long and are limited to 20 characters. The Source Code is included.

StHWMon/StHealth is a hardware monitoring tool with GUI and REXX support for eCS and OS/2. It shows information about various sensors on your motherboard including fan speeds, temperatures and voltages. You can set up "events" for every input sensor enabling system shutdown/reboot, cool down your CPU (with VIA chipsets). If you've installed viaapm.sys (part of the 8233Cool package) it uses this driver to enable/disable CPU throttling dynamically to cool down your CPU. The package also includes a widget for XWorkplace.

Features:
This REXX script collection is intended to support the WPS integration of lame and the Ogg-Vorbis RC1 tools.

• Encode MPEG 1 Layer 3 using lame.
• Encode Ogg-Vorbis using oggenc.
• Decode MPEG or Ogg-Vorbis using lame --decode or oggdec.
• Conversion from and to ID3 Tags (.MP3), Vorbis comments (.OGG) and EA's (.WAV).

Features

• This REXX utility creates an fixed format machine and human readable ASCII index file of a volume or folder with MPEG or Ogg-Vorbis audio files.
• Meta information (e.g. artist) is extracted and written to the index.
• The files are checked for consistency roughly.
• The previous index file is updated if possible. So only the new and modified files have to be checked.
• A master index file, named Index, is maintained containing volume information

Simply try it and decide. The last month, I had a lot of hard work. I strongly hope that WSformat does not only fit my own purpose! Your comments and bug reports are strongly recommended.
WSformat is a formatting and printing program for Wordstar (DOS) files. WSedit and WSformat together are a full-featured word processing suite, running under current operating systems, but based on the Wordstar DOS philosophy ('what you see is what you want' and not 'what you see is what you get'). Nevertheless, WSformat does have a provision for document preview.
Wordstar Compatiblity: WSformat accepts all Wordstar (DOS) files, but does not support all Wordstar DOS functions, i.e., those which were added after Wordstar Version 4. Instead, some extended functions (such as generating tables of contents or handling footnotes) are implemented in a WSformat-specific way. Basic Wordstar 5-7 'symmetrical sequences' are recognized (indentions, for example). WSformat is Shareware and WSedit is Freeware. WSformat supports hyphenation, the creation of end notes and footnotes, generation of tables of contents and indexes, line drawing, embedding graphics in text and allows conditional statements. In contrast to the older versions of DOS Wordstar, document preview and printing use functions provided by the Windows (or OS/2) operating systems. This means you have access to the printers and type fonts which are installed on the
operating system.
The WSformat command syntax is very similar to that of Hypermake. From a WS file, Hypermake will generate an equivalent file in RTF, Winhelp, HTML, IBM Help or Microsoft HTML-Help format. WSformat requires Windows 98, Windows NT 4, OS/2 Warp 3 or later.
