| new version of PPWIZARD (from Dennis Bareis) |
| PPWIZARD has gone through a "few" more revisions since my last update.
For those that don't as yet know, PPWIZARD is a generic preprocessor. Although most people use it only for HTML, it is also great for rexx code. You can now create header files contain code which you can if you wish conditionally generate (maybe you require different error handling for a particular common routine). It is generic in that it can be used to process any "text" files in any languages, if PPWIZARD's default processing gets in the way then there are many #Option's to change it. -> URL: http://www.labyrinth.net.au/~dbareis/ppwizard.htm -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| mySQL/2 3.22.26a (from Timo Maier) |
| A new version of mySQL/2 is available. This is a quote from the developer Antony Curtis: I have compiled some new binaries for OS/2 based upon the 3.22.26a sources and they are now available for download:
The binaries are produced from a straight compile of the mysql-3.22.26a sources without additional modifications, compiled with the current pthread library and now uses the EMX GNU readline library (so editing in mysql client works) What these binaries are not: Fully stable - proven - tested. Ahh well... the same was true with my previous binary releases.;) Footnotes: There does appear to be an intermittent file locking problem on Aurora SMP - so use with caution. Otherwise, for other versions of OS/2, since there is little new code, this should work much like the previous version without some of the annoying bugz(tm). The full "native" compile may be impractical. WC10.6 cannot sensibly handle 64bit ints, WC11 is MIA, and I don't have enough time. -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |
| HPFSUtil 0.01 informational utility (from Mike Ruskai) |
After a few months of poking around the structure of HPFS, I combined all of the testing programs I wrote into one program, which does the following:
These seven things can be done one at a time, or during one program run (though doing all seven at once is of dubious utility). As one would expect, the standard disclaimer applies: Use this program at your own risk. It has been tested on every HPFS partition I have (nine partitions ranging from 130MB to 3GB), but that's it. It should work on any partition size that OS/2 and HPFS support, now and in the future. The program is being released into the public domain, with all of the source code. -> Hobbes-Search: hpfsut01.zip -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| Odin Public Alpha 5 (from Achim Hasenmueller) |
| The Odin development team is proud to announce the availability of the Public Alpha 5 release (19991116). A lot has happened since the last public release in April 1998 so we encourage everyone interested in running the latest 32bit Windows applications on OS/2 to download this alpha release and check it out.
Note that this is still an alpha version meaning that it will most likely not be able to run your software or only partially run it but still it can be really useful! You can find more information on the official Odin website. This page is currently being updated and there will be an application compatibility database very soon where you can report your experiences. NOTE: We are still looking for talented developers to join this great open source freeware project! We know that we will make it possible to run virtually any Win32 program under OS/2 but the more developers we have, the sooner we will reach this goal! -> URL: ftp://ftp.os2.org/odin/OdinAlpha5.zip -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

Both programs have the following common features:

| PMStripper 1.23 (from Don Hawkinson) |
| This PM utility strips HTML codes from Web pages, leaving only the text and optionally the URLs. While the layout of tables and lists is lost during stripping, data is sorted to separate lines for legibility.
Install PMStripper as the HTML source viewer in WebX instead of the OS/2 system editor E, and you can use the Ctrl+V keystroke combination to load the web page source directectly into PMStripper. This will make it easier to cut and paste information or URLs from web pages. It can also be installed as the document source viewer in Netscape. There are instructions for using PMStripper with Netscape 4.04 on my web page and included in the shareware distribution zip file. Registered users of PMStripper will have access to two additional executable files that were compiled with the 486 and 586 compiler options. These versions will offer some performance improvement for users with 468 , Pentium, or equivalent CPUs. New in PMStripper 1.23 Added 'Hard code word wrap' menu item under "File" on the menubar. This option adds CR-LF pairs to each line in the display window to make the current word wrap permanent. This should make it easier to print the stripped text. PMStripper is shareware and costs $9.95 (US). Registration covers all 1.xx releases of PMStripper. If you have registered PMStripper and have not received an email notice of this update, I need to update your email address in my mailing list. Send me a message with the email address used with your original registration and your new email address and I will update my mailing list. -> URL: http://www2.southwind.net/~dwhawk/ -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| Enlightenment and Xfree86/2 news (from Anthony Dolan) |
| I just noticed at the Enlightenment web site that the newest release has specifically had modifications to make it compile and run on Xfree86/2 and advertises such. Enlightenment is a window manager (changes the look and feel) for most common *nix systems running Xfree86, and now apparently OS/2 also. -> URL: http://www.enlightenment.org/ -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| DeskTop Backup 1.2 (from psoft@tech-center.com) |
| DeskTop Backup (DTB) has been updated to version 1.2
WHAT'S NEW? DTB now searches the chosen drive for ALL Desktops when using the "Get suggested" button to get file listings. We have also rearranged the controls in the "AutoStart" settings page and have added the ability to add files by filter. Wildcards are supported when searching by filter. Examples: C:\TextFiles\*.TXT or C:\T*.E?E /S ABOUT DTB DeskTop Backup is a simple tool that works with InfoZip's Zip and Unzipsfx to build a self-extracting zipfile containing your essential desktop and other configuration information. There is no magic or slight of hand concerning it's use and one can do the same work from the command line along with the InfoZip utilitities. DeskTop Backup merely makes it a bit more automated and will also help you decide what files may be important to archive. DTB will also help find and list important files on your drive so you are able to do a more detailed backup than the standard OS/2 system desktop archive will give you. You may add to the "suggested" file listings or do a separate setup of your own important files and directories as well. Such as? Well... maybe you want to do an archive of business correspondance or maybe back up a development directory every so often. You can do them on demand or automatically as well. Saving several distinctive backup setups to be performed on demand or automatically is easily handled by DTB. You can also scan the chosen drive for existence of suggested files whenever you feel an update of the information is needed. (new files important to your desktop may have appeared since the last setup) As usual, we try to stay away from cryptic scripts etc so "AutoStart" backups are simple point and click setups that update your situation automatically with just a mouse click. You can also save multiple archive setups and recall them at will as well as setting the scheduler to run automatically at startup to archive by "days between archives" or "day of the week". -> URL: http://www.pillarsoft.net -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |
