| XWorkplace and WarpIN V0.9.8 out (from Ulrich Moeller) |
| WarpIN and XWorkplace have both been updated to V0.9.8.
Note that XWorkplace and WarpIN V0.9.7 were never officially released, but since some people managed to get hold of them anyway, that version number was skipped to avoid confusion. 1. WarpIN V0.9.8 has been released. WarpIN is intended to become the new universal OS/2 installer. It is becoming more and more popular among OS/2 developers because of its flexibility and ease of use. It has full system configuration (CONFIG.SYS, WPS classes, WPS objects) and can fully undo all the changes to your system again. V0.9.8 is mainly another maintenance release. This fixes bug with target paths and CONFIG.SYS manipulation. 2. XWorkplace V0.9.8 is out also. XWorkplace is the most feature-rich freeware Workplace Shell enhancer on the planet, and even better, it is OpenSource. XWorkplace is the successor to my popular XFolder utility and has become a Netlabs project. Among many other things, XWorkplace gives you the following features:

| PM Download Center 0.5.8 (from Daniel Caetano) |
| The new version (0.5.8) of PMDC is out. It has not great improvements over previous ones. Just a few bug fixes (some SYS3175 errors corrected, corrected also the problem on selecting download/scan folders). Also, this version has an automatic clipboard URL paste on "Add URL" dialog. The WGet version was changed. Now it displays percentage, time ramaining and so on, instead of the "old dots". On the internal side, this version is already compiled with VAC++ 4.0. The file seems to be at the same size, but it appears to be faster than previous one. On the "aesthetical" side, I had added a image with Mr Nomono (for those that doesn't know, Mr Nomono is that nice guy on the Fudeba Software logo) for PMDC and Fudeba Software folders' background. I also tried to solve the initial logo and about dialog cut problem. Now they should be shown in the correct size. -> URL: http://www.quasarbbs.com/daniel/ -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| Ogg Vorbis for OS/2 (from Frank Berke) |
Brian Havard, author of File Commander/2 and maintainer of the Apache/2 recently (01-01-07) has ported the Ogg Vorbis codes to OS/2:Ogg Vorbis is an audio compression format similar to MP3 but free of patented algorithms and fully open source. While still in beta it is of a usable quality but not highly optimised so CPU usage is a bit higher than that of typical MP3 encoders & decoders. On my K6-2/450 using PM123 (analyzer turned off), playback uses 20% CPU (MP3 uses 16%).
