| DreckBak OS/2 Disk Backup Utility (from Murray Weismer) |
| Version 3.c of DreckBak, the least expensive OS/2 disk backup solution has been uploaded to both Hobbes and the support site. Dreckbak is usable by every OS/2 user with no special hardware needed. Ideally suited to removable media, the program works well with a reasonably large Hard drive, as well. Double integrity checking and full logging. Supports file and directory exclusions. Restore utility that will work from floppies, if needed. Full install utility to create all directories and build program objects. Complete docs in text and htm format, as well as great Web based support. See why Warp City calls this "a keeper". -> URL: http://weismer.virtualave.net/DreckBak.html -> Hobbes-Search: drekbk3c.zip -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| Squid 2.2 (from Platon Fomichev) |
| Squid offers high performance proxy caching for Web clients, It supports FTP, Gopher, and HTTP requests. The cache software, available only in source, is more than an order of magnitude faster than the CERN httpd and other popular Internet caches, because it never needs to fork (except for FTP), is implemented with non-blocking I/O, keeps meta data and hot objects in VM, caches DNS lookups. Squid caches can be arranged hierarchically for an improvement in response times and a reduction in bandwith usage. Squid runs on all popular Unix platforms. I"m glad to present you new version of Squid - 2.2 STABLE 2 it is Beta 1, but I consider it to be more stable than any others. New Squid features many core bug-corrections and also has improved speed. Beta 1 has all OS/2 features and bug corrections and support all Squid 2.1 external modules like authenticator or Redirector. After little testing I will also release version with DELAY_POOLS and SNMP. Currenly Squid has HTTP_VIOLATIONS, HTCP, CACHE_DIGEST and others. -> URL: http://www.os2.spb.ru/technology/squid -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| new Swift (from Andreas Linde) |
| The version 0.6.3 of the Swift-Generator is now available. Swift-Generator is a very simple replacement for Macromedia Generator. It aims at dynamically replacing texts, fonts and sounds in either a Generator Template file or a standard Flash file. It can also dynamically change action parameters in either frames or buttons. This allows Webmasters to create dynamic content such as stock-exchangevalues, weather values and the like. Swift-Generator only requires an authoring tool like Macromedia Flash 3. Once a Flash file is created, Swift-Generator is able to handle it. A Flash Player port for OS/2 is in work !! So this tool is only interesting for webservers running OS/2 right now. -> URL: http://en.os2.org/projects/indos2/ -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |
