| Larsen Commander 1.5.1 (from Leif-Erik Larsen) |
| Today (May 30 2001) Leif-Erik Larsen has released version 1.5.1 of his popular GUI file manager and command processor, Larsen Commander.
Larsen Commander has a look and feel like the classic Norton Commander, but in a GUI environment. It combines the best of two very different worlds; - the command line and the file management panels. Both are available at the same time, and even in parallel while one or more commands are running in the background! Larsen Commander is extremely useful espessially for advanced users such as programmers and system administrators that knows the power and the value of having the command line possibilities and the file operation panels available at the same time and in the same shell window. In fact, you can use Larsen Commander almost exactly the same way as you are using the standard system shell, but with a large number of additional and powerful features, such as the console monitor being scrollable and not limited to those "stupid" 25 lines or so of the default OS/2 shell. But Larsen Commander is not only for the advanced users. Even the novice will find this piece of software very nice at hand. It makes the standard file operations a play, such as copying, moving and renaming files and directories. And of course the command line can be 100% disabled and hidden, for those who never uses it anyway. Larsen Commander is available at http://home.online.no/~leifel/lcmd/index.html For a screenshot of a typical Larsen Commander in action, take a look at http://home.online.no/~leifel/lcmd/lcmd_screen.html Please also be aware of the open Larsen Commander discussion forum at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lcmd This new release has a lot of fixes and improvements. For a complete list, take a look at http://home.online.no/~leifel/lcmd/history.html -> URL: http://home.online.no/~leifel/lcmd/index.html -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| InetPowerServer v0.9.3 (from Terje Flaar°nning) |
| On May 26th 2001, The author Terje Flaar°nning released v0.9.3 (Beta) of his full featured Inet server package InetPowerServer (IPS). This new version of IPS has a number of great performance enhancement over the previous versions and will deliver e-mails, web pages or file transfer to your clients even faster than before. The web server component now has a plug-in interface for writing CGI style applications for those very busy sites where normal CGI is just not fast enough. For a full list of changes, check Appendix A in the IPS documentation available from the IPS site.
InetPowerServer will help you provide efficient and stable Inet services for e-mail, file transfers and web. IPS provides a common security setup for multiple services, an advanced virtual file system and flexible multi hosting or even multiple site personalities. Many of the recent extensions to the supported protocols (FTP, HTTP, POP3 and SMTP) are also implemented in IPS making it one of the most feature complete Inet serving packages around for any platform. The IPS Beta Team has been opened for anyone to join as long as they have a Yahoo ID! (for access to additional features) and have time to test and report back on most closed releases done within the IPS Beta Team. Join the IPS Beta Team from the http://groups.yahoo.com/group/IPS-beta page. Work has begun developing an IMAP component for inclusion into the IPS product to further enhance the e-mail features available to your clients. There is no fixed date for completion of this new component yet, but it will first reach the users of the IPS Beta Team before a public version with IMAP support will be made available. The official IPS site can be found at http://www.InetPowerServer.com/ from where you can download the latest available version at any time. IPS is high quality software offered to you for free!

| Datashield / Enhanced E updates (from Pillarsoft) |
| Data Shield and the Enhanced E Editor have been updated to v1.4 and v2.4 respectively. Data Shield is a secure deletion program that removes sensitive information from a hard drive. Normally, deleting a file only marks the file as deleted on your drive but the data remains and may still be recovered. Data Shield will obliterate it so that data may not be recovered by overwriting it x number of times or according to Department of Defense specification. It has options to do a standard or secure delete on:
In this version we have included the routines to securely overwrite and clean entries for the new IBM Browser as well as a few changes in file deletion routines to increase effectiveness. If you have sensitive data on a drive (financial records or client lists for example) never give away or sell the drive without cleaning it thoroughly. The Enhanced E has a few new features and fixes also. New items in v2.4:
Note: The $99 PillarSoft Suite special remains in effect for a few more days. You can take advantage of this great price on a full suite of OS/2 and eCS software until June 4th. -> URL: http://www.pillarsoft.net/ -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

They might not even run, so you should NEVER delete your old build until you have made sure the new one works.
This build will always reflect the "latest" build. I won't be archiving old builds publicly right now, but in exchange for that I will be uploading more builds.

These versions will offer some performance improvement for users with 468, Pentium, or equivalent CPUs. Registration covers all 1.xx releases of PMStripper. If you have registered PMStripper and have not received an email notice of this update, I need to update your email address in my mailing list. Send me a message with the email address used with your original registration and your new email address and I will update my mailing list.
If you operate an internet accessable archive of OS/2 software and would like me to upload the shareware version of PMStripper to your site, please email me at dwhawk@southwind.net and include OS/2 in the subject line. New in PMStripper 1.24

| Enhanced E Editor v2.3 (from Wayne Swanson) |
The big news in this release is web publishing. Editing and saving a file from your website is almost as easy as working on a local file. Only the file dialog is different and it takes an extra second to save or retrieve depending on your connection. We have also updated the code templates on our website for use with the editor. In tagging languages like HTML you can now highlight text and doubleclick a tag in the template tool to tag it. Making a quick fix or even writing new web pages has never been easier and now you can save them directly to your website. New features in v2.3 are:

If you do it, you will have faster, more anonymous and offline browsing available. Program is written using Java language, it can run under Windows, Linux, OS/2 and probably other operation systems.

Smart Cache prints statistics and you can see how many requests was server by it, which speeds up your browsing. It can also increase your privacy by selective cookies filtering, changing your browser identification and changing value of referring page. -> URL: http://home.worldonline.cz/~cz210552/scache.html -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |
