| Future of Hobbes (from Adrian Gschwend) |
| I found this message on Hobbes, I think we really have to find a good solution for Hobbes, the OS/2 community really needs this server! ---snip--- Regarding the future of Hobbes: After I graduate, Hobbes will have to go somewhere else. For now my boss (Dave Rocks) and I have a few ideas, but definitely nothing concrete. If you could drop us both a line with any suggestions you may have (i.e. sites you know of who would be happy to take over the maintenance of Hobbes, other ideas on how to keep Hobbes alive in some form, etc.), it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! And hopefully Hobbes won"t die when I leave. I"ve put too much work and time into it to want that to happen. :/ Joshua">archiver@hobbes.nmsu.edu">Joshua Shagam -> URL: http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/ -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| SDD/2 Beta 2 Fixes (from Andreas Linde) |
| Scitech has found the main big problems in Beta 2 of SDD/2. They will provide a new Beta with the fixes included, but you all can also use a small workaround. The problem is a broken setup.cmd file. It only copies graphics.bpd into x:os2drivers ucleus, but it should copy ALL .bpd files !! So all you need to do is copy those files manually, and try SDD/2 Beta 2 again. -> URL: http://www.scitechsoft.com/ -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| Acrobat/2 4.0 rumours (from Andreas Linde) |
| There are CeBIT rumours around, about Adobe developing the new version 4.0 of Acrobat Reader for OS/2. It is planned to be released in may/june this year.

| OS/2, Stardock, and more (from Michael Schneider) |
| Stardock got a definite refusal from IBM on selling Warp, said an IBM contributor, who is responsible for the CeBIT OS/2 stand. But right now ONLY Stardock got an refusal - if another company is allowed to sell OS/2, wasn"t denied by this guy. "It could also be that Stardock got a refusal, because their is another company already working on it." (O-Ton) Asking if there will be an Warp5 Client, he said that their are no news on that - but in 4 weeks the new WarpServer will be released ... and at the latest then will be decided about that. And the chances are - in his opinion - really good. (that"s my interpretation) -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| Computer problems :( (from Andreas Linde) |
| We are very sorry about the massive computer problems we have the last 2 days. Now the computer runs fine again, and hopefully a bit longer. But we will put the OS2.org pages on another computer, until we decided about the final place for the pages. The speed will stay that "slow" until a new location is found, because we are connected to the internet via the DFN (the german university net). We also will add some more actual news on sunday afternoon !! Have fun with OS2.org -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| Vmware (from Buntspecht.de) |
| Vmware is a virtual PC for Linux and Windows NT. The software emulates a complete PC under Linux and Windows NT and allows you to run Linux, DOS, Windows 9x, Windows NT 4 and Windows 2000 at the same time on the same machine. Right now the company says OS/2 is not supported at all, but they count the incoming requests for a OS/2 (compatible) version. So write them! In contrast to bochs is vmware much faster and also supports networking, sound, graphics and much more. Writetech_info@vmware.com">Write> to them and request an OS/2 Version !!
