| WarpOverlay! 1.05 (from Timo Maier) |
About the WarpOverlay! Project In a few words, the WarpOverlay! Project is the development project for the replacement of HW EnDIVE. The name WarpOverlay! is the new name for formerly closed project in-testing, called HWVIDEO. Ok, maybe that was more than just a few words. And now, in the name of enlightenment and prosperity, here are a few more. This project is easily distinguished from the HW EnDIVE project in the way that it doesn't utilize any part of OS/2's DIVE (and therefore also EnDIVE) subsystems, whatsoever. Regardless, it provides all the functionality HW EnDIVE provided, as well as hardware-based overlay support. It does this all through it's own, independant API. The result of course, is a 2D acceleration solution for OS/2 application development.

| WWMastermind 2D v. 1.0 (from Stefan Wesarg) |
| The version 1.0 of the Mastermind game WWMastermind 2D has been published. The program is freeware.
WWMastermind 2D is based on the classic idea of finding a combination of colors. In this case the colors are distributed in a plane (2 dimensional) rather than in a line (1 dimensional). Changes in the final version 1.0 since the beta version from July 2002: - online help implemented, - "nicer" user interface incl. info screen, - set a maximum time for finding the color combination (optional), - small bugfixes.

| CommuniGate Pro Mail Server (from Ali Liptrot) |
| MILL VALLEY, CA - September 19, 2002 - Stalker Software, Inc., the technology leader in messaging solutions, today announced the release of the CommuniGate Pro Mail Server for the IBM OS/2 platform. The OS/2 community can now benefit from CommuniGate Pro's unparalleled reliability, ease of maintenance, tight security, and proven scalability.
The OS/2 is now the 30th platform supported by CommuniGate Pro. Others include Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, BSDi, HP/UX, Tru64, AIX, IRIX, MacOS X, UnixWare, BeOS, QNX running on Intel, PowerPC, Alpha, Sparc, HPPA, Power4, Motorola 68K, Itanium, MIPS, StrongARM and Z/390 mainframe systems. On all platforms, CommuniGate Pro presents the same interface and uses the same file formats, allowing any organization to switch server platforms in less than an hour. CommuniGate Pro is designed for an entire range of systems - from 50 corporate users to 50 million wireless devices. The highly scalable messaging platform can easily support 250,000+ accounts with an average ISP-type load on a single server, and the CommuniGate Pro unique clustering mechanisms allow it to support up to 5,000,000 accounts in the Dynamic Cluster configuration, and a virtually unlimited number of accounts in the Super-Cluster configuration. "We are excited to add OS/2 version to our portfolio", says Vladimir Butenko, president of Stalker Software, "Stability and reliability of the IBM OS/2 operation system earned it a very loyal worldwide user base. Now, with the OS/2 release of CommuniGate Pro those users will be able to deploy the best available Internet messaging system on the OS that powered most BBS sites in the pre-Internet era". Components and Features CommuniGate Pro communication and access modules provide all the types of messaging services required for today's applications. The SMTP module sends and receives messages via the Internet using the ESMTP protocol with DSN and all other modern extensions, and employs sophisticated high-performance multichannel queuing techniques. The POP and IMAP modules implement the standard POP3 and IMAP4rev1 protocols as well as the most widely known and implemented extensions to these protocols which provide unmatched compatibility with all standards-based mail client applications. The HTTP module supplements these modules with Web Access to user E-mail, eliminating a need for mailer applications on client computers. A fully customizable Web Mail Interface can be easily adopted to the look and feel of the customer Web site, and it can be integrated with the existing Web-based applications. The RPOP module can be used to retrieve mail from remote hosts via the POP3 protocol. The LDAP and ACAP module provide access to various user-, domain-, and server-level databases and data sets, including the automatically maintained Central Directory. CommuniGate Pro includes a full-featured Meta-Directory Server integrating an arbitrary set of local Directory Units and remote LDAP servers to present a single, unified 'Directory tree' to all client applications. True Clustering CommuniGate Pro clustering can be used to build frontend/backend multi-server configurations, as well as symmetric cluster sites. Based on inter-server synchronization techniques, the CommuniGate Pro Cluster can employ shared file systems (such as NFS servers and Cluster File Systems) using the Cluster versions of the CommuniGate Pro software. The Single System Image feature of the CommuniGate Pro Dynamic Cluster makes Cluster administration as easy as single-server administration. Web-Based Interface Installing and configuring CommuniGate Pro for small and midsize sites usually takes less than 20 minutes. The built-in Migration features simplify migration from the previous generation Mail servers, including Netscape/Sun/iPlanet servers, Software.com products, as well as from freeware systems based on sendmail, qmail, and other MTAs. The Command Line Interface is provided, too, making it easy to control the Server using external applications and scripts. Bundled Perl and Java "wrappers" streamline integration of the CommuniGate Pro server/cluster with existing provisioning, billing, and accounting systems. With 15-30 features added in every monthly upgrade (which is free), CommuniGate Pro continues to keep the lead not only as the most scalable and reliable mail system on the market, but as the most feature-rich and comprehensive system that easily adopts to ever-changing needs of modern corporations and ISPs. Try Before You Buy CommuniGate Pro is distributed as "keyware". The fully functional software with no time or scale limits can be downloaded. Until a set of license keys is purchased and entered into the product, each transferred message gets a one-line banner. About Stalker Software Founded in 1993, Stalker Software Inc. is based in Mill Valley, California.

| New WarpVision GUI (from Timo Maier) |
| The goal of the WarpVision project is to create an OS/2 multimedia player that supports the latest formats, as well as the latest hardware features.
Status: The WarpVision Player is currently undergoing development, but in the interim you can download the beta versions. All of the work on this project is done in spare time and is distributed under GNU licencing guidelines. If you know of some new features that you'd like to see implemented, or even if you'd just like to do something nice for the authors, you can always make a financial contribution! To find out how you can help the WarpVision team, please mail them at wvision@os2.ru. Current Features

| WarpZip has been updated (from Wayne Swanson) |
| The new version 3.7 addresses download queues and how they are handled. Previously, you could download files from the internet without having to "save as" to your download directory but after WarpZip loaded the file listing, it would let you close the program without saving a list of any "unviewed" archives.
As of v3.7, any "unviewed" archives are saved for the next running of WarpZip. For example: If you have downloaded and virus scanned 10 archives via the WarpZip Download Preprocessor but only had time to view 5 of the archives... WarpZip will now save the last 5 for viewing during your next session. There is no charge for this update for registered users. There is also a evaluation version available. -> URL: http://www.pillarsoft.net/warpzip.html -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| PMRA (from Mike) |
| I finally made time to do the port of PMRA (PMRA = Por Man's Roaming Access) to linux, so now you can keep just ONE set of Netscape/Mozilla bookmarks across multiple computers running OS/2, Windows, and linux!
The OS/2 version works in either classic or object Rexx. The Windows version works on any Win32 platform. (As far as I know.) The linux version requires IBM Object Rexx, which is available at this locationAll versions require access to an ftp server. -> URL: http://www.catherders.com/mwc/pmra05.zip -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |
| VDMA v0.9b beta (from Martin Kiewitz) |
| The original VDMA driver done by I.B.M. was fixed, patched and extended for about 10 years. Still the DMA port emulation is not quite complete or accurate and some things weren't done in a really efficient manner. DMA in VDMs is mostly used for sound output of games and due to limits of the original driver, games like Prince of Persia 2, Goblins 3 and Sam'n Max didn't work at all or not right.
My replacement driver is 100% new. It contains a completely new logic for emulating DMA transfers. It's half the size of the original driver, definitely more accurate and is coded using about 80% assembly and 20% Watcom C code. Please remember this is beta code and should not be uploaded to Hobbes or other public servers -> URL: http://en.ecomstation.ru/kiewitzsoft/vdd-vdma.php -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |
| Z! to support Ogg (from warpspace) |
| Dink (the developer of Z!) is currently looking for support to minimize his effort to integrate the capability to play Ogg Vorbis encoded soundfiles with Z!. He especially need some reference code for Virtual Pascal.

| ImageJ 1.28 (from Klaus Staedtler) |
| ImageJ is a public domain Java image processing program inspired by NIH Image for the Macintosh. It runs, either as an online applet or as a downloadable application, on any computer with a Java 1.1 or later virtual machine.
It can display, edit, analyze, process, save and print 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit images. It can read many image formats including TIFF, GIF, JPEG, BMP, DICOM, FITS and "raw". It supports "stacks", a series of images that share a single window. It is multithreaded, so time-consuming operations such as image file reading can be performed in parallel with other operations. It can calculate area and pixel value statistics of user-defined selections. It can measure distances and angles. It can create density histograms and line profile plots. It supports standard image processing functions such as contrast manipulation, sharpening, smoothing, edge detection and median filtering. It does geometric transformations such as scaling, rotation and flips. Image can be zoomed up to 32:1 and down to 1:32. All analysis and processing functions are available at any magnification factor. The program supports any number of windows (images) simultaneously, limited only by available memory. Spatial calibration is available to provide real world dimensional measurements in units such as millimeters. Density or gray scale calibration is also available. ImageJ was designed with an open architecture that provides extensibility via Java plugins. Custom acquisition, analysis and processing plugins can be developed using ImageJ's built in editor and Java compiler. User-written plugins make it possible to solve almost any image processing or analysis problem. ImageJ is being developed on Mac OS X using its built in editor and Java compiler, plus the BBEdit editor and the Ant build tool. The source code is freely available.
