| PMRA (Poor Man's Roaming Access) (from Mike) |
| Poor Man's Roaming Access (PMRA) is freeware that extends the roaming access feature beyond Netscape 4.x to Warpzilla, the IBM web browser, and other versions of Netscape. It allows the sharing of bookmark (or other) files from multiple computers, or from multiple operating systems on a single computer. PMRA uses ftp transfers in binary mode for more error-resistant file transfers, eliminating the gradual and subtle data corruption inherent in the original Netscape 4.x implementation. PMRA can be used under OS/2 or Win32, and requires access to an ftp server. -> URL: http://www.catherders.com/pmra.shtml -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| RexxMail 20011112.105405 (from Marcus de Geus) |
| RexxMail provides an extremely flexible yet easy to use e-mail processing environment with a minimum of fuss. It operates through elements provided by the standard OS/2 Workplace Shell (which is still the best graphical user interface available on any platform). Since the RexxMail user interface consists of normal WPS folders and program and file objects, getting to know the program requires only a minimum of effort.
Although the standard way of working with RexxMail is through the WPS by manipulating WPS objects, RexxMail is a straightforward Classic REXX program that runs, like any REXX program, from a command line in a (hidden) windowed or full-screen OS/2 command processor session. Since all RexxMail operations are controlled by command-line switches, the full range of RexxMail functions and settings can also be accessed from a command line. RexxMail is written in REXX, an interpreted language, so it is also its own source code, ready for you to edit to suit your preferences. RexxMail is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License. 2001-11-12 = Update: build 20011112.105405.

| Sizer - IPF inf window shrinker (from Martin R. Hadam) |
| There's a very handy freebie at Peter Koller's (author of Maul publisher) site (use at your own risk). Sizer is a little IPF inf window shrinker. You may have noticed that when you open any IPF help document, the window fills the whole screen. This is great for reading the help, but not so great if you need to do something else while the document is open. Sizer can resize these help windows to a more reasonable size.

| AiR-BOOT v0.23b Public-Beta (from Martin Kiewitz) |
| I'm releasing AiR-BOOT today as Public-BETA. AiR-BOOT is a Multi-Boot partition loader with some extra features built in. Like colored "award-like" SETUP, Virus-Protection, Linux-Kernel-Support etc. It was written in 100% assembly and was last modified 1 1/2 years ago. It's working here 100% stable. I think some more users should benefit from it. Later versions will perhaps include some Partitioning tool as well.
Please read the manual, before installing the software and please backup your system, just to make sure. Currently AiR-BOOT is somehow Freeware. Registration-Information is included still, but this version is not crippled in any way, nor is it time-bombed. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE FEED-BACK as well as thoughts about the program and additional feature wishes. P.S.: I don't know if it works with Windows 2000/XP. It's working fine with OS/2 Warp, Win95/98/PC-DOS/OpenDOS/Linux (special kernel support). -> URL: http://kiewitz.ath.cx/cgi-bin/download.cmd?FileID=softw_airboot -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| phpMyAdmin 2.2.1 (from Timo Maier) |
phpMyAdmin can administer a whole MySQL-server (needs a super-user) but also a single database. To accomplish the latter you'll need a properly set up MySQL-user who can read/write only the desired database. It's up to you to look up the appropiate part in the MySQL manual. Currently phpMyAdmin can:

| shorten - fast compression for waveform files (from Timo Maier) |
| shorten reduces the size of waveform files (such as audio) using Huffman coding of prediction residuals and optional additional quantisation. In lossless mode the amount of compression obtained depends on the nature of the waveform. Those composing of low frequencies and low amplitudes give the best compression, which may be 2:1 or better. Lossy compression operates by specifying a minimum acceptable segmental signal to noise ratio or a maximum bit rate. Lossy compression operates by zeroing the lower order bits of the waveform, so retaining waveform shape. -> Hobbes-Search: shorten-32.zip -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| Unofficial patch for Mortal Kombat (version 2) (from Martin Kiewitz) |
| Just wanted to announce that I managed to get Mortal Kombat 100% working under OS/2. MK had 2 "speed-bugs", which are now removed and special OS/2 / eCS patched-in code to compensate some "bug" (whatever you call it) in OS/2 VDM. MK is using a 16-bit IRQ handler under 32-bit Protected Mode. The VDM simply forgets the IRQ handler that way :( Now it's working 100% *FULL SOUND* via Soundblaster. Have fun :) -> Hobbes-Search: mortalfx.zip -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

| QuickView Pro 2.46 for DOS (from Wolfgang Hesseler) |
| There was high interest from OS/2 users in my DOS software after Timothy Sipples posted a message here in July. It is therefore probably of interest for OS/2 users that there is an update of QuickView Pro. It now properly plays DivX AVI videos with sound. The software runs well under OS/2 Warp because of its great DOS emulation. QuickView Pro is a DOS based multimedia viewer with support for AVI, MOV, MPEG 1, VideoCD, MP3, WAV and various other video, picture and sound formats. -> URL: http://www.multimediaware.com/qv/ -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |
