What to do if you can’t extract archives?

Don’t worry, usually it’s a problem of utilities, not archive files.

Install Zippy and unpack archives of any size and origin.

Scribus for OS/2 Warp 4 and eComStation (Scribus/2)

In addition to Scribus 1.4.2 for other platforms, the OS/2 and eComStation build includes several bugfixes for issues specific to these operating systems, among them:

Problems with some versions of Ghostscript have been resolved.

Problems with Preferences files from earlier versions have been resolved.

Scribus no longer crashes when opening ODT files or a template.

Issues with running Scribus 1.4.x on eComStation 1.2 have been resolved.

We strongly recommend to update to the latest Qt4 and Ghostscript versions for OS/2 and eComStation.

Scribus 1.4.2 for OS/2 Warp 4 and eComStation is available via Sourceforge.

The Scribus Team is very much obliged to Paul Smedley for porting Scribus to OS/2 and eComStation. If you want to support future builds of Scribus for these platforms, please visit http://os2ports.smedley.id.au to learn how.

Thanks to the support from Serenity Systems (USA) and Mensys (The Netherlands) we have been able to test Scribus on eComStation, which helped a lot with identifying and resolving platform-specific issues.

You can obtain INIServe version 2.3 from Hobbes, or from
http://class='extlink'ftp://pmoylan.org/software/iniser2.3.zip

This is a new build to add exceptq support and bldlevel information, and
to fix a slow semaphore leak.

INIServe is freeware, with sources included. The package includes the
server and an example client. Its purpose is to allow remote
configuration of applications that store their configuration parameters
in OS/2 INI files, or in text-mode TNI files.

The Major Major mailing list processor has been updated to version 1.67.
The main reason for the update is to add exceptq support. It can be
found on Hobbes, or fetched from
http://class='extlink'ftp://ftp.pmoylan.org/Major/major1.67.zip />or from
http://class='extlink'http://pmoylan.org/pages/os2/Major.html />(And the screen shots on that web site have finally been brought up to
date.)

Major Major (non-crippled optional shareware) manages one or more
mailing lists. You don’t have to have your own mail server, although it
runs a bit more efficiently if you do. To host N mailing lists, you must
be able to create N+1 mail accounts. It is designed for discussion
lists, and is not suitable for sending out spam.

There is a new version 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 an eComStation. The Odin runtime is a requirement for the newest developed versions of JAVA and Flash 10 for OS/2 and eCS.

For more information and downloads, see:

http://class='extlink'http://svn.netlabs.org/odin32

Download: http://class='extlink'ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/odin/0.8.8/odin-0.8.8.zip
Debug: http://class='extlink'ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/odin/0.8.8/odin-0.8.8-debug.zip

Requires the following:
- kLIBC runtime v0.6.5 (http://class='extlink'ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0_6_5-csd5.wpi
- GCC runtime v4.4.6 (http://class='extlink'ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/gcc4core-1_2_1.wpi

0.8.8 (2012-12-31)
------------------
- kernel32: Export ODIN_ThreadContextSave and ODIN_ThreadContextResore.
Needed for recent Flash.
- kernel32: Add stubs for CoQueryProxyBlanket and friends. Required by
recent Flash.
- kernel32: Implement proper input/output console support for VIO
applications in Odin SDK mode. This makes APIs like
GetNumberOfConsoleInputEvents actually work. This mode is only used
if stdin/stdout is not redirected and not piped.
- kernel32: Make all console modes on by default except ENABLE_WINDOW_INPUT
(according to MSDN).
