| VisualAge Smalltalk update (from http://www.os2news.com) |
| From: Mark Dodel < feedbackDESPAM@DESPAMos2voice.org > I noticed this post on comp.os.os2.programmer.oop Andreas Kohl about applying the latest (and probably last) VA Smalltalk update for OS/2. IBM withdrew VAST from service as of April 30, 2006, and formed a relationship with another company (Instantiations) to maintain the Windows, AIX, Solaris and Linux version. http://www.instantiations.com/VAST/roadmap.htm "Hi, here some info about using new 6.0.3 code from windows version with IBM VisualAge for Smalltalk 6.0 under OS/2. http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21158407 The new VA Smalltalk V7 from Instanitations is no longer available for OS/2 platform, so we have to switch to windows in future.

| eCo Software newsletter, week 34 (from Eugene Gorbunoff) |
| eComStation users and developers are working like one large corporation. To achieve common success everyone should work well on own place and demand the same from \"neighbouring\" users and developers.
The july and august were dedicated to development of drivers and WPS applications. Many utilities was updated. 1) Updated ACPI drivers * Notes for ACPI testers: ** (Temporary restriction): If ACPI driver was working fine for some monthes but doesn\'t boot anymore than you should remove dust from your PC (the problem happens because of high load on CPU when ACPI starts to work; will be fixed in the future) ** Auxiliary drivers for ACPI users are separated to acpi-drivers.zip (PSCOM.SYS, RESOURCE.SYS) ** Please, pay attention to new installation instructions. * New ACPI snooper v.2.11 (requires ACPI.PSD 2.11) -- http://betazone.ecomstation.nl ** It allows start acpi from snooper ** Get ACPI table from file ** Change IRQ for PIC via ACPI link ** Remap IRQ for APIC ** You can run SATA harddisks on SMP machines in APIC mode, make modern notebook to work stable with eComStation, etc. * ACPI Manager is updated -- http://ecomstation.ru/projects/acpitools/?action=down (Download it if using ACPI snooper) * APM.ADD is updated -- http://betazone.ecomstation.nl (Power management driver; requires ACPI.PSD 2.11), Sleep/resume is implemented (S3/S4 state) but it\'s necessary make improvements in device drivers to support features of new power management. 2) JFS news * IBM released an update of JFS.IFS few weeks ago. Don\'t install it if using JFS.IFS for eComStation. * Join testing of ALVM - Logical volume manager compatible with LVM -- http://forum.ecomstation.ru/viewforum.php?f=26 * New JRescuer is released - utility to save files from damaged JFS volume. It is able work with image of volume now! -- http://ecomstation.ru/jrescuer 3) Internet utilities * PM Downloader is updated, v0.9.6 - popular network retriever -- http://eros2.by.ru/pmdownloader_en.shtml ** Fixed - if download was continued from server which doesn\'t support resume, size of file was detected incorrectly (one byte less). ** Italian NLS-file included. * General Network Utilities are updated -- http://ecomstation.ru/projects/gnu/download/GNU-20060819.wpi (IntStat utility allows count net TCP/IP traffic) 4) eSchemes update * eSchemes v 1.28 is available (more stable version; editor is more usable) -- http://betazone.ecomstation.nl * Download more schemes -- http://ecomstation.ru/eschemes and read \"How to create schemes for eSchemes?\" -- http://en.ecomstation.ru/showarticle.php?id=146 5) Multimedia applications * T&V HappyPlayer is updated -- http://ecomstation.ru/happyplayer 6) eCo Software support service * Hardware database contains more than 920 records now. Currently we are gathering reports about input devices (touchscreens, keyboards, mouses) -- http://ecomstation.ru/hardware.php?action=category§ion=input * Russian eCS FAQ is updated -- http://ru.ecomstation.ru/ecsfaq/faq.php?idc=16 7) Collaboration with other developers * Dmitry Froloff updated USBCALLS library -- http://ecomstation.ru/projects/usbtools/?action=down * Establishing contacts with developers of device drivers to make them support new eComStation power management.

| DaniAtapi v0.3.19 on hobbes (from http://www.os2news.com) |
| This is a replacement ATAPI filter driver from Daniela Engert. From the included DANIATAPI.DOC file: "This filter driver supports all types of ATAPI devices. It is a superset of IBMIDECD.FLT, IBMATAPI.FLT and DaniADsk.FLT, and supports all devices that the mentioned drivers do. Additionally, all ATAPI devices can be accessed through the OS/2 ASPI software interface. Each EIDE channel shows up as a SCSI channel, and each ATAPI device as a SCSI device (master = SCSI ID 0, slave = SCSI ID 1)."

| Mozilla Sunbird standalone Calendar app compiled for eCS-OS/2. (from http://www.os2news.com) |
| http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird/ "The Sunbird Project is a cross platform standalone calendar application based on Mozilla"s XUL user interface language" If you have access to the eComstation BetaZone (http://betazone.ecomstation.com ) you can download Sunbird version 0.3a2+ for eCS. It has been there since August 17th, but it wouldn"t run for me so I held off on posting this. The fix was to download MZFNTCFG dll from: http://www.aip.de/People/PWeilbacher/WO/Mozilla/Gecko1805/mzfntcfg_322.zip and put that in the sunbird directory. Since Sunbird is based on Mozilla code, if you are running other Mozilla apps like SeaMonkey, FireFox, IBM Web Browser or Thunderbird, then most likely there will be a conflict in some of the shared modules. To get around this you can use Rich Walsh"s Run! utility - http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/wps/run_060.zip -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| PMMail for OS/2 given a new life! (from http://www.os2news.com) |
| From: Walter Metcalf Hello everyone, VOICE recently purchased both the source code and all the rights to PMMail for OS/2 from Blueprint Software Works. This was done with the intention of correcting what few bugs currently exist in the product, and then enhance PMMail for OS/2 to bring it up to current email client standards. It is important to emphasize that PMMail for Windows, otherwise known as PMMail2000, is NOT included in this transaction, and therefore still remains the property of BSW. A team of knowledgeable developers are already busily working at the task of updating and documenting PMMail/2. The new version of PMMail for OS/2 is expected to be initially distributed as shareware for a nominal amount. VOICE members are expected to be able to purchase the new version at a substantial discount, since it was their fees that were used to buy the source and rights to PMMail/2. If you wish further information, please contact Walter F. Metcalf at the email address below. Sincerely, Walter F.

| newLISP for OS/2 ported (from http://www.os2news.com) |
| ++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++ From: Norman < newlisp2DESPAM@DESPAMnodep.nl > posted on ecomstation.apps I ported the fantastic scripting language "newLISP" to OS/2 using GCC. You can find the compiled binary at http://newlisp.nodep.nl/newlisp2.html The source code can be found at the newlisp website http://www.newlisp.org *** newLISP is a LISP-like scripting language for doing things you typically do with scripting languages: CGI programming, system administration, text processing, gluing other programs together, etc. newLISP is a scripting LISP for people who are fascinated by LISP"s beauty and power of expression, but who need it stripped down to easy-to-learn essentials. newLISP is small on resources like disk space and memory but has a deep, practical API. *** PS: the OS/2 version is still under enhancement...;-) Hope its of use, Enjoy, Norman. -> URL: http://www.os2voice.org -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| Java Movie Database v1.35 Beta2 (from Juergen Ulbts) |
| The new Java Movie Database 1.35 Beta2 has been released on 2006-08-02.
The Java Movie Database (JMDB) is a Java program which stores the data from the IMDb Text files (Internet Movie Database - http://www.imdb.com) in several MySQL/PostgreSQL tables. After you have imported the data, you can search for actors, movies, producers and actors. About the movies and people a lot of details are shown (depending which IMDb text files you did import). You should update to the current release because of changes made by IMDb to the provided data (since end of January 2006 - episodes of tv series,...) which are supported since JMDB 1.35 (you can suppress showing episodes of tv series). With Beta2 you can also suppress showing the episodes if you run the \"releasedates\" search. Beside these functions the current version supports MySQL and also PostgreSQL. Compared to first beta bugs in the search have been corrected. Those bugs prevented using the MySQL 4/5 setting in the JMDB-Setup for the search (so you had to go back to the MySQL 3 setting after the file import). These errors and some more have been fixed in the current version. Furthermore the MySQL 4/5 queries have been optimized (factor 2 faster compared to Beta1) and the PDF export of person and movie details has been optimized. There is one problem with Innotek\'s Java 1.4.2_05 (see details in the bugs.txt), which may require that you need to push the \"Search\" button a second time. GoldenCode Java 1.4.1 (eCS and OS/2) and all Java 1.5.x under windows I\'ve tested work without problems. For more details look at the JMDB-Homepage: http://www.jmdb.de We are also looking for volunteers that want to translate the program to other languages. Please contact us via eMail (see website). A all new version named JMDB2 is currently in the planning phase. Details are also available on our website. The project has been registrated at sourceforge.net and will be open-source from the start. http://sourceforge.net/projects/jmdb -> URL: http://www.jmdb.de/ -> comments: 2 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| Video/2 v0.9.8 (RC1?) (from Helmut Renner) |
| Video/2 is an attempt to control the many video cassettes and DVDs, which lie around in every house.
Like all his published predecessors the programme was checked for heart and kidneys by me and seems to work. If people like to confirm this by mail with an \"I installed it and it works\", would this be beautiful and would increase my will to make new features I have already got two of such mails by the way... ;-) However, reports about possible faults and design weaknesses or wishes are always welcome too, of course. By the way, this good piece is freeware of course! -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |
