| MAMERun: German..Italian? (from Jason R Stefanovich) |
| I am thinking about nationalizing MAMERun in German and possibly Italian. This would also apply to the MGL version of MAMERun which will be a frontend for native MGL MAME. If someone would like to see a version of MAMERun in their language, I encourage you to write to me so I can count heads. -> URL: http://home1.gte.net/vzn05zki/mamerun.htm -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

Together CC is the follow-up-application of the round-trip-engeneering tools "Together/J[/C]" for Java / C++" written in Java. The last version which has been run with OS/2 was the version 2.2.

| Warpstock Europe 2000: For all, who could not attend. (from Philipp Buehler) |
Short, of course you all have missed something. Within the pretty good support from Fiducia it was possible to offer a very professional meeting for the about 500 visitors. Some of them had to travel from far away (Scandinavia, Portugal, USA, England, Netherlands, ..) but as you can see right now they had no reason to regret the journey:
 As before there was a splitting to exhibition, workshop and presentations.
Beside the sponsors IBM, C&L Verlag (publisher), HOB, Hydrografix Consulting and VTS-Datensysteme there have been following exhibitors: ARTem, Deckarm, Hypercope, Mensys, Epson, Lexmark, Norman Data Defense, Novastar, Starfire and last not least Sun. For example IBM showed a 4-CPU SMP box under Warp, which was used as a server for Workspace on demand. Sun was showing the StarPortal, which brings office applications via network to any client, e.g using a webbrowser. So even StarOffice 6.0 will be useable under OS/2. The workshop part was pretty well too and showed up new features from Warp too. While the problem determination workshop it was shown that Warp can now do kernel debugging via TCP/IP. The presentations have been numerous and outstanding. Next to the keynote of IBM about their OS/2 strategy, the Mozilla project by Mike Kaply, a lot of people attended to the multiple held presentations about the ODIN-project. The ODIN-crew was showing some demonstration of Notes R5, MS Word, Adobe Framemaker, Netscape v4.7 and some more. Even more interest was spent on the presentation and panel discussion of the eComStation. Based on the convenience pack this client will bring some uproar after release in beginning of 2001. OS2.org will preview/test this client and give you information in time before release. Of course the whole 3 days there have been discussions on warpstock europe about this new client.  The saturday night event was booked out with about 130 attendees. Besides gastronmicals there have been a lot of discussion. Additional to the above written topics there have been discussion about the visitors. Most of them were developers and home endusers. Also the exihibitors havent been very happy, that not more visitors from the main usergroup, banks and insurances, havent been there.
The auction of one of the last OS/2 Warp flags in Germany was pretty amusing. Bob St. John and Esther Schindler made a great and funny job. Daniela Engert was wrapped into it while the auction was in progress. After a lot of fun the result was 800 DM (about 350 US$) and was paid without pain from Eirik Overby. The money was donated to the Warpstock Europe organization.  We would really say Thank You! for the 1st price in the OS/2 World Award for the best OS/2 website: OS2.org !!
Alltogether Warpstock Europe was a pretty good made up event and you would have been able to see a lot of satisified people in a very professional area. BE THERE IN 2001 !! -> URL: http://www.warpstock.de/ -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |
| Team Trier Collection Vol.7 out now (from Thorsten Thielen) |
| Finally: The Team Trier Collection Vol.7 CDROM for OS/2 is now available!
For only DM 10/EUR 5 it includes (among lots of other share- & freeware, demos, etc.):
Two comfortable menu-systems, a HTML interface that can be used with any web browser and a PM program, developed specially for the TTC, support you at selecting and installing the programs. As always the Fixpaks may be most easily installed directly from the CD. For more information and the complete list of contents see the webpages of Team OS/2 Region Trier e.V. at http://www.teamos2.ipcon.de/ (Note: This CDROM may be of interest only to German-speaking or at least European customers: Though most of the documentation and the installation-programs on the CD are now also available in English the shipping charges may get really steep outside of Europe ...) -> URL: http://www.teamos2.ipcon.de/ -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| HowTo: Netgear PS105 print server (from Bob Mclellan) |
| I have uploaded to Hobbes a note describing how to get the Netgear PS105 print server to work with OS/2. Many print servers do not claim OS/2 support, however with a little knowledge most will work perfectly well. -> Hobbes-Search: netgear.zip -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| StarOffice source code now available (from Andreas Linde) |
| The source code for StarOffice "6.0" is now available.The source code contains about 9 million lines of code and even takes on a high-end computer over 20 hours to compile.
The OS/2 Code is still in there, but according to Sun employees it is NOT (!!) possible to provide a OS/2 version. Talking to several people at Warpstock Europe brought the conclusion that the only doable way is using the Odin libraries to get a new version of StarOffice for OS/2. -> URL: http://www.openoffice.org -> comments: 9 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

Just in case you don't know: The candidates are given choices of answers to which they have to find the right questions. The gameshow takes places from 6.15 PM to 7.45 PM.

| Warpstock Europe 2000: DaniS506 Trouble Corner and Device Driver Development 'live' (from Christian Hennecke) |
| If you are experiencing troubles running DaniS506.ADD or DaniATAPI.FLT on your system, and this cannot be addressed from the remote, just bring your "trouble box" over to Karlsruhe to Warpstock Europe 2000. All means to hopefully solve the problem will be available on site. In addition this is a good opportunity for developers to discuss problems developing device drivers and "borrowing" code snippets. -> URL: http://www.warpstock.de -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |
