| Larsen Commander v1.1.1 (from Leif-Erik Larsen) |
| Larsen Commander is upgraded to version 1.1.1. The recent version (1.1, - which was uploaded on March 23, 2000) had quite a few annying bugs that are fixed in this new version. A upgrade to version 1.1.1 is recommended.
Larsen Commander is a powerful GUI File Manager and Command Processor that has a look and feel like the classic Norton Commander. The most notable difference is that the Larsen Commander is pure GUI. Still it has a built in command line and a scrollable console monitor. Larsen Commander combines the very best of two very different worlds: the command line and the file management panels. Both available at the same time, and even in parallel while commands are running in the background! -> URL: http://home.sol.no/~leilarse/lcmd/index.html -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| XFree86OS/2 under the PM (from Christoph Vogelbusch) |
| This isn't really news, as the program is a few month old, but it seems like noone realized it: xpmfb is a DIVE X-Server, what means it can display X-Windows under
OS/2. When you start it a window with the Xfree86OS/2 opens in a pre-definded resolution size. All X-Programs run in this window. This is not exactly was Everblue wants to do, as they want to integrate the programs, but it's a good think while you're waiting for Everblue. The Program can coexist with other X-Server configurations as its run through a separate Batch file. I've tested the program with the most popular Xfree86OS/2 Apps, such as X-Chat, GIMP and Enlightenment. All ran except for Enlightenment, but you can still have Enlightenment under a normal X-Server with the right configuration. -> URL: http://birdy.hpage.net/ -> Hobbes-Search: xpmfb.zip -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |
| gphoto 0.4.3 port (from Bart van Leeuwen) |
| I've done a port of gphoto, the GNU digital camera image transfer program. The linux version supports over 150 camera models, of 19 different makes. The only problem is that I only have one digital camera, a Sony DSC-F1, this camera works perfectly well with the application. The goal however is ofcource to have much more camera's supported. There for if you own a camera and its listed on the site, please contact me so you could help me out with testing the application. This application requires XFree86/2!

| WarpIN V0.9.2, XWorkplace V0.9.2 (from Ulrich Moeller) |
| WarpIN and XWorkplace have both been updated to V0.9.2. Both updates are mostly for bugfixing.
1. WarpIN V0.9.2 has been released. This is an update to the V0.9.1 developer's release announced a few weeks ago. WarpIN is intended to become the new universal OS/2 installer. It has full system configuration (CONFIG.SYS, WPS classes, WPS objects) and can fully undo all the changes to your system again. This new version can now do package dependencies and execute external programs for system configuration after install (aka user exits). 2. XWorkplace V0.9.2 is out also. XWorkplace is the successor to the popular XFolder utility and has become a Netlabs project by now too. This version is still a developer's release (ie might not work on your system and has known bugs), but many bugs have been fixed which were reported for V0.9.1. There is now a trash can, more CONFIG.SYS settings, most of the features of WarpEnhancer, mouse-button-3 scrolling, improved WPS notebook settings pages, a much better "WPS Class List", full sound schemes support in the "Sound" object, and much more. Also, lots of XFolder bugs have been fixed also. XWorkplace is work in progress. More things are planned. Christian Langanke will add an enhanced version of his Animated Mouse Pointers for OS/2 soon, for example. XWorkplace is the first application to use WarpIN as its installer. So to install XWorkplace, you will need WarpIN too. WarpIN and XWorkplace are Netlabs projects, released under the GNU General Public Licence. The source code is available on the Netlabs CVS server. See www.netlabs.org/nosa and my homepage for details. There area four mailing lists at www.egroups.com:
The developer team would be grateful for feedback on these mailing lists. -> URL: http://www2.rz.hu-berlin.de/~h0444vnd/os2.htm -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| gsview 2.91 beta (from Klaus Staedtler) |
| Ghostgum has released Ghostview 2.91 beta. Ghostview is the PM Frontend to ghostscript.
Some clarification: Gsview 2.9 is identical to Gsview 2.8 with two differences:
Gsview 2.91 is identical to Gsview 2.81 beta with one difference, it works with Ghostscript 6.01 Gsview 2.91 is a bugfixed Gsview 2.90 (but with the broken pstotext !), it can be registered, although it works after also unregistered, it only shows a 'nag' screen. Don't bother about the possibility to register, it's better that free software is further developed and the developer wants some cash for it, instead the other way round (remember Staroffice) -> URL: ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/pub/ghost/ghostgum/beta/ -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| 4D Tic-Tac-Toe (from Marty) |
| Play Tic-Tac-Toe as you've never seen it before! This version of the game actually requires thought! ;-)
Challenge your mental imaging capabilities and boggle your mind while getting the pants beat off of you by a stupid computer program running in a FULL SCREEN 640x480 8 bit display in OS/2! This is a simple application I threw together using Scitech's excellent MGL (Multiplatform Graphics Library). Though it is not terribly graphically impressive, it exercises the ability of MGL to change to 640x480 8 bit color screen mode and display graphics and directly access the hardware color palette. If all reports from this application are good, I will port more graphically impressive applications to OS/2 using Scitech's MGL (such as Retrocade). Also after receiving some feedback, I will release the source to this program to the public. REQUIREMENTS: You *must* install and boot up with a copy of SDDHELP.SYS from Scitech's Display Doctor software from beta 19 or higher. You must do this NO MATTER WHICH VIDEO DRIVERS YOU ARE CURRENTLY USING. RECOMMENDATIONS: If the Scitech Display Doctor video drivers work with your video hardware, USE THEM. :-) FEEDBACK: Feedback is very much encouraged and welcome. I need to know how well MGL is working with your systems before I can decide it is worthwhile to port a larger application using MGL. Let me know whether or not this works with your hardware and drivers. Write to mamedev@stny.rr.com. Be sure to read the ReadMe.OS2 file included completely before using this software. -> URL: http://emuos2.vintagegaming.com/downloads/mgl_4dttt.zip -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

Future plans include support for downloading data from selected glucometers and developing the database for other trackable items. (Fat, calories, A1C readings etc.) We would also like to find a source of food data that we can glean fat, calorie, carbohydrate information from in order to create a meal calculator. If you know of a database or flat file that we can harvest (legally) please contact us. If you, your family or friends have to track blood sugar and are looking for an OS/2 solution, please stop by the PillarSoft website and see if BgMetrics can work for you. BgMetrics is not for sale at this time. We ask all users to please use it freely as the features are fleshed out and do not worry about it becoming commercial if you feel you won't be able to afford it. We will find a way to make it available to you without missing any usage or losing any data.

| Retrocade for OS/2 Alpha 2 (from Marty) |
| Retrocade for OS/2 Alpha 2 is available for download.
Retrocade is a multi-arcade game emulator, similar to MAME. It supports fewer games than MAME does (about 120 or so) but the emulation cores were designed for SPEED! The "business" part of the code was written almost entirely in assembly language and it shows! In addition to the speed advantage over MAME, Retrocade offers a very attractive and futuristic GUI of its own making its oveall package very impressive. If you're a fan of MAME or a fan of old arcade games, give it a try! The currently released version is *alpha* level code. Please be sure to read the ReadMe.OS2 file before running it for the first time. It currently has graphics and sound support, but lacks mouse and joystick support (which are coming soon). I'm releasing this version to get early feedback, so feel free to contact me about it. Fixed in this version:
