OS/2, BeOS and REXX solutions at IACT (from IACT Coordinator) |
The IACT website has posted a brand new 24x7 technical report "Solutions for e-Mail: Some Lessons from REXX, BeOS and OS/2" focusing on compatibility, security and choice. It takes a close look at how the system capabilities and design philosophies of OS/2 and BeOS can help netizens to send, receive and manage e-mail with built-in options not even available yet in other environments. As an example of such integrated solutions, the report introduces the new e-mail handler called RexxMail, released as OS/2 freeware under the GNU Public License and developed with the REXX multiplatform programming language.
Bookmark IACT's 24x7 Reports Page and check out the intriguing possibilities of RexxMail, BeOS and OS/2. International Alliance for Compatible Technology more open standards, user choice and free access to compatible technology -> URL: http://www.iact.net/ -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

Java scripts page looking for a home (from Gili Tzabari) |
The page targets end-users, using Java applications under OS/2 or eCS. The purpose of the page is to provide OS2/eCS specific scripts for Java applications so they run out-of-the-box. Furthermore, it will attempt to tackle common end-user problems.
The site is currently hosted on my home machine, which isn't always up. If anyone with good uptime is willing to host this site, please contact me. -> URL: http://bbs.darktech.org/essence.html -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |
New home for Focus on OS/2 (from Walter Metcalf) |
Hello everyone, Slightly more than two weeks have passed since I received the email from About informing me that Focus on OS/2 had been terminated. Since I knew it was against About's policy to forward email sent to a cancelled site or Guide, I published a note on the web explaining what had happened with the sole intention of preventing you my readers from drawing the wrong conclusion from the sudden disappearance of my site. I didn't want you to think that I had suddenly given up on you, or worse, that I had died. I was completely unprepared for what happened next. I was flooded with email expressing appreciation for my site over the past three years and concern that the articles I had written would be lost; several were even concerned that the OS/2 world might lose me as a contributor. As you might imagine, having a project in which you have invested 3 years of your life abrupted terminated and taken down has a powerful emotional impact. Your kindness during this time, as well as your support and desire to see my work continue has done a great deal to soften this blow. I thank each of you who has taken the time to write me from the bottom of my heart. Now for my announcement. Two editors contacted me within minutes of my publication of the "Farewell to Focus on OS/2" note. I am happy to report that I have reached mutually satisfactory arrangements with both editors and their respective publications to begin writing for them beginning in May. These publications are "VOICE Newsletter", published by VOICE, and "Extended Attributes", published by POSSI, the Phoenix OS/2 Society. Initially, at least, I'll aim for an article in every issue of EA--in other words, every other month, and another article in every other issue of the VOICE Newsletter. Every article I write, regardless of where it gets published, will also go online in my personal web site, and hopefully on also on Warp Doctor. (I'll be keeping the copyright of all my articles; in addition both Mark Dodel of the VOICE Newsletter and Esther Schindler of EA have generously given me express permission to keep them online.) More details on that later. These will be added to the Focus on OS/2 articles which I have already started uploading to my personal web site. (Eventually I want to accumulate a complete library of my articles online for the benefit of anyone who may find them useful. I've tentatively named this library, "Walter's OS/2 Treasury". I'll publish the URL for my personal web site copy after I've cleaned it up a bit more and created a front page for my articles.) Finally, I wish I could respond positively to the many generous offers that were made. However, it quickly became clear that wasn't going to be possible. Let me just express my thanks once again to all who wrote me, and especially to those who found my contributions to the OS/2 community worth preserving, and were willing to devote some of their own valuable server resources to help make it happen. This has been a truly humbling experience. Walter -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

The Register: AMD hopes to have 64-bit OS/2 (from James Stotz) |
The register has how AMD is supporting the 64-bit linux port to its Hammer-line, and it wants to have OS/2 be done the same!(...)AMD's goal is to have its Sledgehammer and Clawhammer chips based on the x86-64 architecture in the second half of 2002, according to the company's processor roadmap. AMD eventually plans to have the 64-bit architecture work on a variety of Linux distributions, including SuSE and Red Hat, plus most other major operating systems, including Windows, Solaris, DOS, and OS/2. In some cases, the chips will work in 32-bit mode before they're tested for 64-bit mode. -> URL: http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/3/18167.html -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

The VOICE Editors would like to thank everyone who made the April VOICE Newsletter possible, especially the volunteers who worked on translating the Newsletter to/from German. We will continue to expand this support with the help of our volunteers. If you can help with the German version there is a mailing list at eGroups. Once we are comfortable with the German version of the Newsletter, we would consider expanding to other languages if there is interest and volunteers to help with the project. If you are interested in pursuing this please contact me at editor@os2voice.org Together we put the International in VOICE. :-) And as always, a big thank you to our writers and editors. Without them there'd be no VOICE Newsletter. Please consider writing an article for the Newsletter.
