| Updated port of ffmpeg for OS/2 & eComStation (from http://www.os2news.com) |
| Hi All, I"ve just built ffmpeg from the latest cvs source as of this evening, Sunday 11th September, Central Australian Time :) It can be downloaded from http://smedley.info/os2ports.html For those that don"t know, ffmpeg is a command line tool to convert one video file format to another. See http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net for other details. ffserver & ffplay have not been ported at this stage. Included in this latest release is support for mp3, xvid, dts, ac3 & also pthreads. With pthreads support, you can tell ffmpeg to use multiple threads using the -threads x option - where x = the number of threads to use. I"d appreciate feedback on this release - particularly from users with SMP systems that may benefit from the threads support.

| Dosbox frontend 1.9. The main purpose of this program is to generate a rexx (cmd) file that starts dosbox with certain settings and runs a game / program, then create a desktop icon for it. Changes; 1.9 Added a communication page and a font dialog. 1.8 Fonts will now be saved and restored. request from ; dragndrop. Position on the desktop will be saved and restored. I condider it a finished project now and will stop working on it unless there are some bugs. Maybey.. I wil look one day to save the colors of individual pages so every page can have its own background color, since I don"t need this myself, I will see if I get requests for this option.... http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/dosboxfront_1_9.zip http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?key=dosboxfront Chris.

| Professor Owl 1.08 had been open sourced under the GNU GPL license. http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?key=powl108 Special thanks to its author, Edward March Jr, for turning it open to the OS/2-eCS Community. "Professor Owl is a C++ Code generator for the Object Window Library. It is the fastest way to write OS/2 applications using your Borland C++ compiler and the Object Window Library classes. Professor Owl generates skeleton applications, make files, and C++ code with headers. It is easy to add objects and classes with functions/events to your existing C++ files or new C++ files.

| DOSBox frontend 1.6 (from http://www.os2news.com) |
| Version 1.6 dosbox frontend is now on hobbes. Changes; When a DOSBox mount drive allready exist, it wil be modified instead of adding twice (or more). Run now always runs the latest modifications, instead of running a loaded/saved file. Exit now saves the rexx file when modifications were made. Added some config file settings. Removed the mess from the help files. Added a yes/no pop up dialog asking to overwrite existing files when the file exist. Compiled for PII code now, I don"t think older PC"s will need dosbox, they have still ISA slots? But if you want a 486 or P1 code version, just ask me. Fixed some problems/errors, I hope its bugfree now, but I could use some feedback :-) http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/dosboxfront_1_6.zip Url: http://members.home.nl/cwroossien/ecs.html From: Chris (roossienDESPAM@DESPAMgmail.com) Submitted with the form on http://www.os2world.com/submit_news.php -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |
| djprint version 0.55 (from http://www.os2news.com) |
| I think that I am satisfied with the options and features of DJPRINT, so this should be one of the last releases before version 1.0. If you have questions about the functions of DJPRINT, please let me know so that I can use your questions to improve the limited documentation. djprint version 0.55 DJPRINT was intended as a method to list source code on my HP DeskJet 632c. I decided that I would make it available to other OS/2 and eCS users. I put a work-in-progress version on my web site and asked for comments and suggestions. I got a lot of suggestions and most of them were added as options to DJPRINT. I also found out that the HP PCL 3 command set was supported by many printers - not just HP printers. The ones that I know about are shown below. HP Deskjet 932C Xerox Phaser 8550 HP LaserJet II HP DeskJet 340 Brother HD 5150D IBM 4019 laser printer HP Laserjet 4050N HP DeskJet 632C The default printing mode of DJPRINT is to assume the paper is US letter size (8.5 x 11), 6 lpi , and line numbering is turned on. The printer is also put into compressed print, but this is not optional. An important function of DJPRINT is line wrapping. Long lines are split into multiple lines. Unless the line numbering is turned off, the same line number is used for wrapped lines. If line number 10 needs to be wrapped to fit on the page, all of the wrapped portions of line 10 will be numbered 10. This is done so that the line numbers refelct the actual source line number. A plus sign is inserted before each wrapped line to make certain the user knows the line has been wrapped. The line wrap is not intelligent. The line is wrapped at a specific character count - not at the end of a word or blank space. The header and compressed print are not optional, but many other functions are under the users control. The printer may be put into portrait or landscape mode, and the supported paper sizes are A4, letter (US standard size and the default), and legal (8.5 x 14 inches). The user also has the option of 6 or 8 lines per inch, with 6 lines per inch the default. The user may set the starting source line number, the ending source line number, and start the page numbering at number other than one. Setting the starting page number does not change where the program starts printing the source lines, it is only a cosmetic change. Changes: Version .055 added an option to put the printer in 12 cpi mode instead of compressed print mode. That option is /NO. version 0.51 changed the code to look in the current directory for options.djp and if not found, in the directory where djprint.exe is located. Version 0.50 added an options file called OPTIONS.DJP which must be present in the current directory. The options are listed on separate lines in the file. The options file is proccessed before the command line, so any command line options override the file options. The options in the file must start at column 1 and must start with a forward slash. Lines that start with any other characters are ignored. Verson 0.35 added an intial page number setting. The /Ixx option sets the intial page number to xx instead of 1. This option along with the /Hxx and /Txx options will let the user replace specific pages from a printed set. For example, if page 10 was damaged and started with with line 571 and ended with 628, the options /I10 /H571 /T628 would print a replacement page 10. Verson 0.33 added manual duplex printing! The option swtich is /DU or /du The output is first sent to the file testprn and then that file is split into oddprn and evenprn. The file oddprn is sent to the printer, the user is prompted to reload the paper and then the file evenprn is printed. If the /F option is used, the final output goes to the file testprn2. Version 0.31 changed the method used to display the usage and error messages to the screen. The usage information and the file being printed message may be redirected and the error messages now go to stderr. A /D option for double spacing the source had been added. A /Wx option for selecting the destination printer had been added where x is 1,2, or 3. If you only have one printer or the OS/2 default printer is the destination, you do not need this option. This program is intended to print program listings on HP DeskJet or LazerJet printers. It should work with any printer that supports PCL 3. It sets the printer to print 16.5 characters per inch and sends a reset to the printer when it is finished. The program prints a header at the top of each page and defaults to printing line numbers for each source line. The program does line wrap of lines over 119 characters and can do multiple wraps if the source line is very long. If the source line is wrapped, the line number is not incremented. If line 10 is wrapped three times, there will be three lines labeled 0010. The program also print -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |
