New beta builds of Dialog Enhancer for both Warp4/Aurora and eCS are now
available from the Dialog Enhancer website at
http://www.dialogenhancer.com/beta_dl.html

The following is from the DE website describing DE.
It's almost too good to believe.... Dialog Enhancer '99 provides the answer to the
problem of the inconsistent look of the dialogs on your OS/2 Warp, Aurora or
eComStation system. The system is overhauled during a sophisticated graphical
installation, and is active immediately after reboot. Your desktop finally will look
complete, dialogs will no longer be a mismatch of different fonts, icons have been
tweaked and much, much more.

The system uses techniques used by no other enhancer utility to create the new look
and feel. Unlike any other WPS enhancer available, there is no underlying application
hogging CPU time, no slowing of your system due to a mass of registered
replacement classes, no random system crashes due to dodgy system hooks, no
wasted memory (Dialog Enhancer actually reduces the memory required by the
operating system.), and no danger of system corruption due to an advanced
installer/uninstaller application which makes many system checks before applying the
changes to over 60 files.

Hi !
Another unofficial patch :)
This time for Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes.
I patched 2 bugs. First one is our beloved Soundblaster-bug, so SB-sound works now.
The other one was a nasty bug, that crashed the VDM. It was the programmers fault. They had no idea of IRQ-processing handlers.
Now the game is 100% playable under OS/2 Warp / eCS. Have fun.

Petr Mikulik has released Gnuplot 3.8 patchlevel 0
gnuplotis a command-driven interactive function plotting program. It can be used to plot functions and data points in both two- and three-dimensional plots in many different formats, and will accommodate many of the needs of today's scientists for graphic data representation. gnuplot is copyrighted, but freely distributable; you don't have to pay for it.

• NEdit 5.2, a not-Unix-like editor in terms of user-friendliness with many features
• htmldoc 1.8.15, an excellent tool for converting HTML files to PS or PDF, work with normal command line and with X11 GUI, there is also a PM GUI available
• xpdf 0.93, a PDF viewer
• t1lib, a library required by xpdf

Under v2, there is new support for Dynamix games as "Betrayal at Krondor", "The Incredible Machine" and many more. Nearly EVERY Sierra/Dynamix Realmode game should be patchable. Patched games work perfectly under OS/2 Warp / eComStation VDM-MDOS-Box.

This build fixes a bug in the build I released yesterday (if the JunkMail settings are missing from the configuraton file, 'register' commands will fail). If you have installed the previous build, please download the new build and upgrade RexxMail to remove the bug. My apologies for the inconvenience. The new build also adds an icon for the 'Help' program object, which I failed to include in the previous build. (BTW, if anyone feels inclined to give the RexxMail icons a -- much-needed -- facelift, please let me know. I would dearly love to be able to offer better-looking icons, but I simply haven't the time to rework them myself.)

This build fixes a serious bug in the build I released yesterday (itself a bugfix release -- I know, this just isn't my week)

This is the latest release of Postgres SQL server for OS/2. I have add the support for SSL connection via openssl V0.9.6.
The GUI admin tool are again in Beta (no modification!) You can find all the documentation in this distribuition in PDF and HTML version.
I have resolve some installation problem and system database generation.
Thank's to all for your support for testing !
Don't hesitate to contact me for every question.
Good Luck!

• As I patched Indianer Jones 3 this morning, I discovered that the problem was a real-buggy runtime library. Now I got it working on several Lucas Arts titles (Monkey Island 1 and Indiana Jones 3, both VGA or Non-VGA). These games work perfectly now, under OS/2 as well. Please help me find more games, that needs to get patched and help os2world increase the DOS-working games list at OS2 World.com.
  I would like to have someone help me debug DOS4GW programs, because I want to fix Lucas Arts's Sam&Max, but I dont have a clue, how to debug it.

• Just did another patch. This time for Lemmings 2 (Psygnosis). It emulates a routine needed by the copy-protection. Funny thing: If it isnt supported, the copy protection tries it again, and again, and again ;-) Now Lemmings 2 works PERFECTLY under OS/2 or eCS. Including Sound.

The problem (in 4.05 and 4.06) with multiple-disks showing the same information in the part and map displays has been solved! DFSee is an FDISK-like display, analysis and recovery tool with powerfull FIX commands and UNDELETE for HPFS and NTFS.
Version 4.07 updates and fixes:

• Fixed BUG with multiple physical disks showing same information
• Added '-x' commandline switch, avoids read diskinfo at startup
• Added detection for EBR-loop, read will terminate at 100 EBR's
• FIXBOOT for FAT and FAT32 (beta only, works on most partitions)
• Show DIR of available imagefiles when IM parameter ends in '\'
• Minor update to DFSINFO.CMD reducing number of warnings

Registering DFSee will give you the right to use all 4.xx versions
and get support plus a reasonable amount of assistance by email. But even more important, it enables further development of DFSee! The next major changes for DFSee will be multiple UNDO/REDO, and a command to copy/move partitions.

With Hypermake (earlier version "MakeIPF"), you can easily create HTML files or IBM IPF files, Winhelp and Microsoft HTML-Help files. Instead of editing the HTML, IPF or RTF files directly, you enter a more simple ASCII source text. Links are created automatically; windows of different headings levels can be shown simultaneusly (frames) with only one command; at the end of a chapter, links to subchapters are created automatically and a lot of more.

Darwin O'Connor has released Timidity 2.10.4. It is a a text-mode version of TiMidity 2.10.4. This isn't a MCD version. It supports more types of module files, playing files from inside zip and other archives, playing files directly off the web, a "ncurses" text mode interface and a much cleaner port.
TiMidity plays MIDI and Module (.MOD) files. It does it in software without depending on any hardware MIDI support your soundcard might have. Sound quaility can be much higher because it limited by your CPU's power and memory rather then your soundcard's power and memory.

These codecs will enable the playing of the vast majority of AVIs, including Indeo, Cinepac and MP4. All codecs have been tested for compatibility with over 40 AVI files.

Notable things in here that aren't in the trunk (yet) are:

• Startup has been optimized
• Plugins are working again
• Off by one problems are fixed
• At least one random hang has been fixed
• Third level menus display properly
Enjoy!

The development of Junkbuster continues - and an OS/2 port is available. Junkbuster is a powerful web proxy that filters out unwanted web content like advertisements, cookies, snoopy javascript, etc. Recent improvements include things like improved HTTP 1.1 support and popup suppression.
Tester input is needed... the documentation is a little light at the moment, but you can get support via the Junkbuster SourceForge website or comp.os.os2.apps. A self-installing executable, as well as the source code, is available.

I've have made a quick (proof of concept) port of rdesktop to OS/2. rdesktop is a free RDP client which you can use to connect to a Windows NT/2000/XP Terminal Server. rdesktop was created by Samba team member Matt Chapman.
It's not a native PM port. You'll need EMX and XFree86/2. If anyone is willing to take over from me, please be my guest since I won't be doing much work on it anymore.

This tool will help those who try to use multiple programs together requiring different versions of z.dll, png.dll and so on. It replaces all imports by ordinals with imports by names, thus you will need just one DLL which exports all entries by name.

Guiffy 3.2 release available. Guiffy is a visual source file/folder, compare/merge, utility/component.

Guiffy 3.2 enhancements include:

• Folder Compare Verify File Match with text compare - New option to verify file matches during folder compare via text compare. Ignores EOL differences, applies file compare options(Ignore Case, Ignore Whitespace,Ignore Field) and is aware of FileEncoding selection.
• Open File/Folder Combos - Optional interface view presents a multi file/folder open dialog.
• GuiffyDiff - New guiffy.inside API package class for Guiffy's "diff". Supports both compare algorithms and both verify methods. Runs as a Thread with piped output.
• jiff command - New "diff" command line tool.
• Additional Ctrl-Key shortcuts - About a dozen new Ctrl-Key shortcuts added.
• [Esc] enabled in all dialogs.

The DualMode library and MGLServer are an application interface for developers to write graphical applications which can switch between full screen and windowed operation, with advanced features such as keyboard, mouse, and joystick support, frame rate timing and frameskip regulation, and palette handling.What's new with release 5:

• Frame rate regulation API calls added. Can use Timer0 or DosSleep to regulate the frame rate of your application. Capable of regulating frame skip and frame rate throttling for fast systems. All frame rate options can be changed on-the-fly, including which method is used for timing.
• Color palette manipulation made easier through two new API calls. Don't need to #include "mglserver_internal.h" anymore to manipulate the color palette.
• Added shutdown routines to the DualMode API as a convenience, so that the developer no longer has to know which thread to wait on for safe shutdown.
• Added direct framebuffer DIVE blitters for all color depth combinations. When DIVE is detected to not support a source/destination blit combination (as reported by DiveQueryCaps), one of these direct framebuffer blitters will automatically be chosen instead. Currently, these blitters are SLOW, and will not clip themselves if there is a window placed on top of them. Future enhancements will hopefully address these issues. These were implemented to stop some systems from crashing in DIVE.DLL when an unsupported blitter setup is attempted to be used.
• Added a check to see if WM_SETWINSIZE message attempted to put the titlebar off of the screen. Moves the window so that the titlebar is always available on the screen.
• Bug fixed with MGLSC_reinit causing the wrong video buffer to be displayed full screen when mode is changed to the same video mode but a new backbuffer is created.
• Bug fixed causing video mode corruption when WM_TOGGLEFS is requested while a full screen video mode is being changed.
• Fixed a bug which could lead to popping up the window list instead of returning the window focus to the session that launched a DualMode app when the DualMode app is closed.
• Fixed a bug causing an occasional crash on exit after MGLServer has been shut down if there is a WM_BLITFRAME waiting in the window message queue.

Used for checking of files, if they are transfered correctly or not. Mostly for RAR files, since RAR does not build checksums over each file. SFV files are very common by downloading VCD's from FTP servers.
