bitwiseworks has started its latest porting project, bringing an updated
Firefox and Thunderbird to the eCS (OS/2) platform.

The project will be entirely open source. Source code and progress can
be found at
http://class='extlink'https://github.com/bitwiseworks/mozilla-os2

As with previous big projects (like Qt GUI framework, Java 6, Flash)
funding is required to ensure a steady progress at a reasonal speed.
Partial funding was already provided by several companies and
individuals, with Mensys BV being the main sponsor. But in order to have
the project updated in a reasonable timeframe, we need more sponsoring.

If you are interested in sponsoring this project, please contact Silvan
Scherrer (silvan dot scherrer at bitwiseworks dot com) directly or
alternatively buy sponsoring units.
Sponsoring units may be bought at Mensys. *100%* of that money will be
transferred to the developers.

The Mensys sponsor link is: http://class='extlink'http://www.mensys.com/shop/NetlabsJava6

Right now we do not have a separate link for Mozilla development -
however the persons behind Java and Mozilla projects are the same,
Dmitriy Kuminov doing development and Silvan Scherrer doing project
management.

Hello bootAble users,

Just to let you know I’ve recently released a minor update to bootAble. As always you can download it from our website <http://class='extlink'http://hrbaan.home.xs4all.nl/bootAble/>.

v6.9.1 (04/03/2013)

* Not trying to determine cd/dvd recorder device when creating ISO
image only (|CDRECORDCREATEISOONLY|), this should prevent
unnecessary errors from e.g., the scanbus command.
* Minor adaptations for VirtualBox (thanks to Lothar Soens);
* Added a notes about VirtualBox in the Known Problems/Limitations
<http://class='extlink'http://hrbaan.home.xs4all.nl/bootAble/bootAble.html>
section.

Have fun,
Hayo

P.S. If you don’t want to receive news about updates to bootAble (e.g., you stopped using it), just let me know and I’ll remove your email address from the list.

The next step - implement REXX API, so you can manipulate archive files from REXX scripts.

What’s new:

* Additional menu item that allow to easy unpack all archive to the specified directory now added to "Open as" submenu of archive objects.

* Zippy can be integrated to folder context menu.

* The check mark of the archive element can be toggled via pressing of a SPACE keyboard button.

* Corrected suggested extraction path for multi-volumed archives.

Zippy uses several libraries from eCo Software toolkit (http://ecomstation.ru/toolkit),

that’s why it was developed so fast, it has advanced user interface and very powerful inside.
