AiR-BOOT v0.24b - BUG (from Martin Kiewitz)
Sorry, but the latest release contains a stupid bug of mine. If you don't "Include Floppy" from AiR-BOOT Setup, it will boot the partition following the one you selected.
I'm rejecting 0.24b release and I will give out a fixed 0.25b version in short time. Sorry.
If you got 0.24b, just select "Include Floppy" in AiR-BOOT Setup and everything should work normally.
Sorry about that. 0.25b should get released in 1-2 days.

Using OpenOffice.org with ODIN (Update) (from Joerg Sievers)
Using the opensource pendant of StarOffice OpenOffice.org is also possible with ODIN until the porters hopefully will have ported the office suite to OS/2 one day.
With the help of Virtual PC for OS/2 Preview (VPC) you don't need booting a Windows machine but if you have one you could do it also. Here is the guide how to use OpenOffice.org (OOo) with ODIN under OS/2 Warp:
  1. Download OpenOffice.org
  2. Get msvcp60.dll and copy it into the system32-directory of ODIN
  3. Install the package under Windows 9x in VPC or a 'real' Windows 9x machine
  4. May be you should use the same directory structure you will use after installation in the OS/2 environment and also I had used a short name.
  5. I haven't installed the 'Quickstarter' of OOo
  6. After the Installation copy the directory into OS/2 environment.
  7. Also copy the files sversion.ini and user60.rdb which you find in a subdirectory of the Windows-directory to the OS/2 environment into the ..\ODIN\Application Data-directory.
  8. Start OpenOffice.org in the ..\program-directory of OpenOffice.org with pe soffice.exe
  9. Attention: Under Tools / Options / General you should check the option to use the internal OpenOffice.org dialogs otherwise you won't have a possibility to load files
Have fun!

Flash 5 player coming soon (from Timo Maier)
Hello, we will release a Flash 5 player shortly. Please watch our website for announcements. It does not support Java 1.3 because there is no Plugin Interface available with Java 1.3 in neither Netscape 4.61 nor Mozilla. We are planning to release a Mozilla component which will not require Java to support scripting. No date on that so far.

Kind regards / mit freundlichen Gruessen,
Achim Hasenmueller
