| RUN! v0.75 (from http://www.os2news.com) |
| ++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++ From: Rich Walsh < richDESPAM@DESPAMe-vertise.com > RUN! v0.75 is now available. Download it from: http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?key=run_075.zip or http://e-vertise.com/misc/run_075.zip v0.75 fixes a hang some users experienced with v0.70 when using its new 'keep-alive' ('K') option. RUN! can eliminate scripts and config.sys entries needed to start many programs - particularly those started as 'helper-apps' by other programs. It sets the current drive, directory, and BeginLibPath to the directory containing the .exe, sets any options you've chosen, starts the program, then terminates. For example, to start Firefox from ProNews/2 without a script: - copy run!.exe to Firefox's directory - rename it firefox!.exe - update ProNews/2 to start (e.g.) D:\NetApps\Firefox\firefox!.exe Options such as turning on LibpathStrict or using your 2nd codepage can be specified by embedding the appropriate character in the exe's name, e.g. firefox!L2.exe. For a concise listing of all its options, run the unrenamed Run!.exe. New in v0.70/v0.75 - Keep Run! in memory: option 'K' keeps Run! from terminating until the program it started ends. The WPS icon used to start the app will show that it's in use and will surface the app when you click on it. Note: Run! uses about 300k while it's running. - Set Priority: option 'Z' lets you set the priority of the app you're starting. Use 'Z' by itself to set it to 400; use 'Zcdd' to specify the priority (where c= 1-4 dd= 00-31) -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| GBM (Generalised Bitmap Module) updates (from http://www.os2news.com) |
| ++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++ From: Heiko Nitzsche < Heiko.NitzscheDESPAM@DESPAMgmx.de > Hi, there are new versions of the GBM modules available. GBM plugin 1.33 for Lucide 1.20 This is a plugin for the Lucide document viewer available for eComStation that extends Lucide for the support of reading all bitmap formats supported by GBM.DLL. Get package gbmos2plugins_lu133_moz134_bin.zip or the WarpIN installation package from Hobbes (see below). GBM plugin 1.34 for Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox/SeaMonkey This is a plugin for the Webbrowsers Netscape, Mozilla, Firefox and SeaMonkey available for OS/2 and eComStation that extends them for the support of reading all bitmap formats supported by GBM.DLL. Get package gbmos2plugins_lu133_moz134_bin.zip or the WarpIN installation package from Hobbes (see below). GBM.DLL 1.55 and GBM command line tools The Generalised Bitmap Module (GBM) is a library capable of loading and saving bitmap files in a variety of popular and less popular bitmap file formats. Programs may be written to use this code, and thus be able to access a variety of file formats without actually knowing what format the pictures are in, or any details about file format itself. It comes with a useful set of command line bitmap manipulation tools. Get package gbmos2_155_bin.zip or the WarpIN installation package from Hobbes (see below). GBM.DLL REXX adapter library (GBMRX 1.11) GBMRX.DLL is a REXX adapter DLL for OS/2 and eComStation which REXX programs may use to load or save all bitmap file formats supported by the GBM.DLL (to/from a file). Almost full feature set of GBM.DLL is provided by the REXX API. I/O remapping is not supported due to language restrictions. Some image manipulations can be done like scale, reflect, rotate. Get package gbmos2rx111_bin.zip from Hobbes. It is also included in the WarpIN installation package (see below). Enhanced GBMV/GBMV2 Version 1.50 GBMV2 is a fast and simple bitmap viewer and editor for the OS/2 and eCS Presentation Manager. GBMV is a simple bitmap viewer. Get package gbmos2pm150_bin.zip or the WarpIN installation package from Hobbes (see below). Notes for eComStation 1.2/1.2R users: Please read the installation instructions. eCS 1.2/1.2R ships with an old GBM.DLL (1.12) which prevents loading of the new GBM.DLL (1.55). Please follow the instructions to use the new GBM.DLL for all programs as well as for eCS WPS features like bitmap previews.
