| Sun's Forte - Update Center for OS/2 (from Gili) |
In the past, using Forte's auto-update feature under OS/2 would fail (the patches would be downloaded but would never be applied). Now, you can make use of the autoupdate feature, but when Forte quits, runs the following command before restarting it. This will cause it to apply the downloaded patchs:
java -classpath lib\updater.jar -Dnetbeans.home=. -Xmx96m org.netbeans.updater.UpdaterFrame -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| Warpstock Europe 2000 Video (from Christoph Vogelbusch) |
| So three weeks after Warpstock Europe 2000 finally the video is assembled and encoded. I also added a summary and will start a threat at the forum of www.Warpstock.de to discuss about the video. I will collect the oppinions for future products and will be able to make changes to the video till the end of November 2000. I know the video is a little short and speedy (3 day summed up in 6 minutes of film), but I didn't want the video get to big, and don't want to let the quality be as bad as last year.The video is also reachable through OS2World.Com in RealPlayer- and MPEG-format. -> URL: http://www.os2world.com/gallery.shtml -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

Call for volunteers: If you wish to (or actually do) publish a similar CD, let's join forces! We collect most of the material from Hobbes, but also download just about everything we can. If you could help us writing index files in your language, please let me know so we can make the CD international. We can have it stamped for really low costs (1-2 dollars if we make a thousand copies or so). The already published CD's are available online. -> URL: http://os2.rulez.org/Main/teamcd.shtml -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| Information from Team OS/2 Russia (from TEAM OS/2 Russia) |
| Information from Team OS/2 Russia.
As you know, there are a lot of applications have been ported to OS/2 from unix. Most of them requires emxrt to operate. emxrt is a set of DLLs, which contains most used in unix functions compiled under OS/2 with gcc v2.8. gcc 2.8 is a great C compiler, but there is also another C compiler, named pgcc. It is nothing but pentium-optimized version of gcc plus some advantages, because it based on more recent version of gcc (2.9.3)... Due to this advantages we've switched our compilers to pgcc some time ago. For most users, who areusing our ports of different software originally developed for unix, it means that they required to find and to install some additional dlls. Note, that TNEF application as well as PXTOOLS and may be some other applications already requires these DLLs. So, if in the future you will try to run our ports and will get message like system cannot find gcc29166 (sys1804), you need to download and to install these additional DLLs. Thank you for your attention. Feel free to contact us by e-mail. Don't forget to check our site at http://teamos2.ru/ oftenly for new OS/2 ports! -> URL: http://teamos2.ru/en,download,dlls$html -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |
