Hi all,

The release of VP v2.0 is now close: A Release Candidate version, which includes all current enhancements, bug fixes, etc, has been made available to a limited number of VP beta testers. When feedback from this has been taken care of, the software will be released properly, and you will all receive notification by e-mail.

If you are not on the list (i.e. you have not received an e-mail notifying you of the RC release) and feel you should be, let me know and I will consider adding you to the list. Do note, that this involves an 11MB download and that time for feedback is limited.

I anticipate releasing the final version in 2, maybe 3, weeks.

Take care, and stay tuned,
Allan

Southern California OS/2 User Group Makes It Official: Warp Expo West This September

Following is the statement made today by Terry Warren, President of the Southern California OS/2 User Group, at its General Meeting:

Good morning.

The Southern California OS/2 User Group was formed six years ago as a center for knowledge and learning about the operating system known as OS/2.

During these six years we have shown our commitment to this objective. Our monthly meetings feature cutting edge OS/2 technologies and products. We have Special Interest Groups dedicated to high-interest areas. We have a renowned web site with a vast collection of OS/2 information. Our monthly publication OS/2 For You is six years old.

Our monthly speakers come from around the globe. Chris Graham, The Graham Utilities, Australia. Brad Wardell, Stardock Systems, Michigan. Randell Flint, Sundial Systems, Southern California.

And our commitment to bringing OS/2 users and vendors together in one place is already well established. SCOUG was instrumental in finding the facilities, services and manpower that culminated in the 1997 debut of the first Warpstock, here in Southern California. SCOUG was one of only three user groups to have presentation tables at Warpstock '98, where we also ran an Internet Relay Chat from the vendor floor. And, also in 1998, the SCOUG Five-Year Anniversary Party drew almost two hundred attendees for a day-long party with OS/2 lectures, games and a fifty-prize raffle. A similar SCOUG event took place the year before.

Today, I am pleased to announce that SCOUG, the Southern California OS/2 User Group, will continue and in fact expand its involvement in the OS/2 community. I am pleased to announce that this September, SCOUG will fully sponsor Warp Expo West - A Warpfest Of OS/2 Excitement here in Southern California.

Further, the Board Of Directors of the Southern
California OS/2 User Group has decided that Warp Expo West shall be free. Attendees at Warp Expo West will pay no admission fee; vendors presenting their OS/2 wares will pay no exhibitor fee. Every person at Warp Expo West, be they guest, vendor or lecturer, will enjoy this Warpfest Of OS/2 Excitement without charge.

Warp Expo West will take place in one Vendor Hall, three Lecture Halls and a Special Interest Patio at Chapman Conference Facilities in Orange, California, just four miles from Disneyland, on Saturday September 18 1999. There will be over 20 OS/2 seminars and lectures; we expect the presence of dozens of OS/2 software vendors. Our choice of a very-intensive one day event means that more guests and vendors, especially those who cannot afford an entire weekend of their time, may attend.

The Warp Expo West web page is your link to information for our upcoming Warpfest Of OS/2 Excitement. To register for this free event, visit this page. To get to the Warp Expo West web page, just click the logo on SCOUG's home page, www.scoug.com.

There is more excitement surrounding OS/2 right now than we've seen in some time. New disclosures show that competitor business practices hindered the growth of OS/2 far more than anyone knew, and the recent success of new OS/2 product releases shows there's a strong and surging need for this robust and powerful operating system. When we gather in September we shall bring with us the strength of knowing that our choice was the right choice, the technologically superior choice, the one choice with the strongest and most intuitive graphical user interface and the fastest and most flexible multiprocessing capabilities. We look forward to seeing each and every OS/2 user, from the world over, at our Warpfest Of OS/2 Excitement - Warp Expo West.

The Southern California OS/2 User Group

For Immediate Release

June 19, 1999

The Warpstock Board of Directors and Warpstock 99 Atlanta Committee are pleased to announce that registrations for both attendees and exhibitors are now being accepted at the Warpstock website, www.warpstock.org.

The third annual Warpstock event, which will be held October 16 and 17 at the Georgia International Convention Center promises to be the biggest and best OS/2(R) event ever. The event will feature six tracks of presentations, demos and seminars as well as the biggest exhibition space ever provided by Warpstock. Event organizers have worked hard this year to expand the event while continuing to hold registration cost to an absolute minimum. This year Warpstock fortuitously follows a major Linux exhibition taking place October 12 through 16 in Atlanta. So Warpstock attendees and exhibitors who also need to investigate Linux can combine the visits to minimize expenses.

The official hotel for the event, the Sheraton Gateway Atlanta, is immediately adjacent to the convention center and will provide a deluxe site for social events planned for Warpstock.

The Warpstock Board of Directors and Warpstock 99 Atlanta Committee look forward to welcoming the Warp community to Atlanta, October 16 and 17, for the greatest Warp experience ever.

OS/2(R) is a registered trademark of International Business Machines, Inc.

Warpstock, Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to produce an annual conference which provides education, information and social opportunities to the entire OS/2(R) community.

Abandon your fear my friends, Hobbes is here to stay. As the new archiver, I would like to first thank Josh Shagam and Dave Rocks for their dedication and superior skills in keeping this archive alive and well.

Throughout this transition, all policies and archiving procedures will remain the same.

It is a pleasure to be given the chance to serve the OS/2 community. Comments, questions, and complaints are gladly accepted and should be mailed to archiver@hobbes.nmsu.edu.

Site selection has been completed for this September's "Warp Expo West - A Warpfest Of OS/2 Excitement".

"We wanted the perfect site," said Steve Schiffman, one of the show planners for the September show, "and I'm pleased to announce that the beautiful Chapman Conference Facilities in Orange, California will be the site of this year's Warp Expo West."

"We chose Chapman over a number of other bidders for several reasons," explained Schiffman. "First of all, Chapman offers prime facilities for the OS/2 lectures, seminars, software demonstrations and vendor exhibits that guests will enjoy during the show. And it's centrally located, within two miles of four different freeways with easy access to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Ontario International Airport (ONT) and a number of other airports."

"Further," continued Schiffman, "Chapman is only four miles from Disneyland which means that guests will have a wide variety of options for lodging and family activities. In fact, we expect that many Warp Expo West showgoers will spend an extra day with their families enjoying Southern California's attractions, beaches, culture and people."

A formal announcement of the exact date and other details for Warp Expo West is expected this Saturday at the monthly meeting of the Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG).
(SCOUG is sponsoring Warp Expo West.)

"Since last week when we released the first information on Warp Expo West, the response has been overwhelming" said Carla Hanzlik, a member of the Warp Expo West planning committee and Editor of the monthly publication OS/2 For You."We've been contacted repeatedly by OS/2 users from everywhere wanting to know how to exhibit, how to speak, and how to register for the event. We'll have complete information for everyone this Saturday, now that our show site is confirmed." Hanzlik further said that she was feverishly working on the design of Warp Expo West web pages "which we'll put on line this Saturday."

Rollin White, head of the Warp Expo West planning
committee and a veteran OS/2 showman, had this additional statement: "We started Warp Expo West with just an idea, and already we have the site, the plan, and the team to smoothly carry it out. OS/2 is the most robust and powerful desktop operating system in the world today; no competitor's marketing machine or business practices can change that fact; and we look forward to welcoming OS/2 users from all over the world to our Warpfest Of OS/2 Excitement - Warp Expo West."

Some time ago I wrote MJPG-Codec for OS/2...
I have had no MMX-Processor and it was "only" 384x288@12Fps on P100 without MMX... some time ago...

Today it works mit MMX-Support and I can (under Win32) capture 640x480@25Fps on PII-300 (not the fastest PC today).

Unfortunately I have no OS/2-VideoCapture hardware and no time.

I can port Win32 decoder to OS/2 back, but I have no chance to port RealTime encoder part.

I need some help!!!

I can supply for you some sources (old sources of SRMJPGC.DLL and SRMJPGD.DLL - see LEO or HOBBIES archives) and precompiled MJPG.LIB RealTime-library.

GCC-compiler and IBM-SampleCodec source (download for free from DevCon) are used.

The new, unofficial PMMail list is alive and kicking with over 200 subscribers joining in the first 10 days. For the third time in 10 days, however, the list address has changed. In order to join the list, please send a message to pmmail-request@rpglink.com with "subscribe" in the body or send email to listar@rpglink.com with "subscribe pmmail" in the body.

Warp Expo West announced for September

"Warp Expo West - A Warpfest Of OS/2 Excitement" was announced today by the Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG).

"SCOUG has already sponsored two successful end-of-summer OS/2 events," said Terry Warren, President of SCOUG, "and we'll continue this tradition with Warp Expo West this coming September. Accordingly, SCOUG has already formed a Warp Expo West Committee to plan this year's great event."

The Warp Expo West Committee is headed by Rollin White, a founding member of SCOUG and experienced OS/2 showman. White had a major involvement in the first Warpstock, has led two prior SCOUG-sponsored OS/2 Show Committees, and is a member of the Warpstock Steering Committee. "We've got a great, experienced team in place to produce this West Coast show," said White, "and Warp Expo West will be a premiere showcase for the Warp OS/2 Operating System."

The Warp Expo West team includes Steve Schiffman, an experienced show planner. "I'm negotiating right now for some of the finest show facilities in Southern California," said Schiffman. "We want every Warp Expo West guest to have the ultimate OS/2 experience. Every aspect will be perfectly planned--lecture facilities, vendor hall, software demonstrations, topical meeting rooms, food service, transportation and parking facilities, even out-of-town guest accomodations."

Carla Hanzlik, Editor of the monthly publication OS/2 For You, is also one of the Warp Expo West planners. "In the past we've done great exhibits like The OS/2 Museum and diversions like The OS/2 Carnival Games, and this year we'll have new surprises for the guests," said Hanzlik.
(OS/2 For You is published by SCOUG.)

"OS/2 is still riding a crest of excitement as the highest-technology desktop operating system on the market today," continued Warren. "We welcome everyone to join us again this year for our Warpfest Of OS/2 Excitement - Warp Expo West."

Earlier this week it was announced that a new PMMail mail list had been set up to take the place of the original list which had stopped functioning. Over the past two days, more than 70 people subscribed to the new list with more coming all the time.

Due to the increased traffic, Gary Hammer volunteered the use of his list server and bandwidth to host the new list. Anyone now wishing to subscribe to the new PMMail list should send their subscription request to listserver@musthave.comlistserver@musthave.com">listserver@musthave.com> and in the body of the message write "subscribe pmmail-l emailaddress" ( do not include the quotes, and substitute your real email address for emailaddress). Steve Lamb will continue to administer the new list.

Because the official PMMail mail list stopped functioning about a month ago Steve Lamb, a longtime expert PMMail, user has just donated space on his list server to fill the void. PMMail/2 and PMMail/98 users are invited to join the new list (pmmail@rpglink.compmmail@rpglink.com">pmmail@rpglink.com>) by sending a message to pmmail-request@rpglink.compmmail-request@rpglink.com">pmmail-request@rpglink.com> with the word "subscribe" in the body, or a message to listar@rpglink.comlistar@rpglink.com">listar@rpglink.com> with the words "subscribe pmmail" in the body. Steve says that he will keep the new list open as long as there is interest or until the official PMMAIL-L list is reactivated.
