| Gendatam Suite Beta 2 (from http://www.os2news.com) |
| Web site: http://www.gendatam.com/ Gendatam Suite is a Family History application. Beta version 2 of Gendatam Suite for OS/2 is now available at the website http://www.gendatam.com/. Gendatam Suite uses its own data model while providing support for the usual Gedcom format. The current Beta adds an improved user interface, improved gedcom access and an optional macro facility for data entry. Files of any size may be read. The application is a Java program which has been pre-compiled for use on OS/2. Running as native code makes the application generally quicker and more responsive. The application has its own look-and-feel. This provides a consistent interface regardless of the host system. OS/2 users may be interested in this application for a number of reasons: - It is written in Java but packaged as an OS/2 native code program. - It is a family history program available first on OS/2, but also to be available on the Microsoft Windows NT/2000/XP series with data compatibility between operating systems. This beta will be of particular interest to those people who like to see how well programs will read the various varieties of Gedcom files. This current beta version expires at the end of August. Feedback is welcome as noted on the website. Feedback is particularly requested from OS/2 users (there were all of about 20 downloads for OS/2 beta 1). A note to archive administrators: The version is a beta version which incorporates an expiry date. There is no point in archiving it. -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

Fight a desperate battle to reclaim the throne of Wesnoth, or take hand in any number of other adventures. More information is available at http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/Description It was built using Innotek GCC v3.3.5 CSD1 version and requires the runtime dll from ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0.6.0-ga2.zip The necessary SDL dll"s are included, however it is worthwhile checking ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/sdl for newer versions. At the time of writing, ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/sdl/sdl-1.2.10-bin-20060517.zip is the latest. This has not been tested extensively, but I have played through a couple of tutorials, and fired up the editor (wesnoth_editor.exe). In particular, campaignd.exe, cutter.exe, exploder.exe & wesnothd.exe have not been tested at all, but are included for the brave at heart. Please send any feedback or encouragement on this release to paulDESPAM@DESPAMsmedley.info, bugs can be reported via the bug tracker at http://mantis.smedley.info Finally, for those that feel so inclined, can support my efforts via Paypal using the link at http://smedley.info/os2ports/ Cheers, Paul Smedley Adelaide, Australia 20th May, 2006 -> URL: http://www.os2voice.org -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| Brutus, version 1.0beta1 (from http://www.os2news.com) |
| The first beta release of Brutus, version 1.0beta1, is available for testing here: http://www.casaerwin.com/brutus.zip and a brief instruction tutorial here: http://www.casaerwin.com/Install.txt Brutus organizes and catalogs the things we collect: CDs, DVDs, VHS tapes, LPs, MP3 files, MPG files, PDF files, etc. If one of your collectibles consists of MP3 files, it can launch the MP3 player to play the files, or it can launch Acrobat Reader to display a pdf file, or the Browser to display an html file. If this type of app is of interest to you, pleast try Brutus and tell me what you think it needs. Brutus supports English, German, Italian and Spanish, but the help files are so far only available in English, and the Install file lacks the German translation. -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| ffmpeg/ffplay/Ports Page updated (from http://www.os2news.com) |
| HI All, I thought it was about time to update FFMpeg & FFplay from the latest code in the sourceforge repository. As a reminder of what ffmpeg/ffplay do: FFmpeg is a complete solution to record, convert and stream audio and video. It includes libavcodec, the leading audio/video codec library. FFmpeg is developed under Linux, but it can compiled under most operating systems, including Windows. The project is made of several components: * ffmpeg is a command line tool to convert one video file format to another. * ffplay is a simple media player based on SDL and on the FFmpeg libraries. I"ve also started working on a revised web page for my ports - any feedback on this is appreciated. The old ports page is at http://smedley.info/os2ports.html - the new is http://smedley.info/os2ports Thanks, Paul Smedley Adelaide, Australia 11th May, 2006 -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| PMDCalc Plus Version 0.9.9 (from http://www.os2news.com) |
| This is a lightweight calculator for daily office use, which is optimized for fast and simple calculations. In additions it has options to ease the transfer of - results from PMDCalc Plus into other programs - numbers from other programs into PMDCalc Plus using the clipboard and/or drag and drop. Note: This calculator is not suitable for scientific mathematics, it is not capable to handle brackets, it does not honor point calculation before line calculation. What"s new in this release? + Added: Detect presence of the LEDPanel font and use it in the display (LEDPanel font is included in the installer package now) * Changed: Fallback default font is now 12. System VIO instead of 13.System VIO (looks better on 96dpi systems). * Changed: The whole calculator window (including all GUI elements!) now resizes properly. ! Fixed: Finding the .INI file was not working how is was supposed to (might lead to a different location of the .INI file). ! Fixed: Helpfile is always found (even if there is no "." in HELPPATH or DPATH) ! Fixed: A few typos in the manual/helpfile. Get PMDCalc Plus from: http://members.aon.at/herwig.bauernfeind/pmdcalcp/pmdcalcp099.wpi or http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/pmdcalcp099.wpi Later: http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/apps/calc/pmdcalcp099.wpi Kind regards, Herwig Bauernfeind -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |
