Subj: Porting REXX to Java

From: Michael Rowe <mrowe03@attglobal.net>

I am porting an OS/2 Rexx application to Java.  The program does screen
scraping of a mainframe screen using the HLLAPI interface.  Does anyone
know of a HLLAPI interface in JAVA?

Thanks...
Michael

BTW, I am using Personal Communications 4.2 for OS/2

Subj: MAME for OS/2 version .36 beta 10 is available

From: Marty <mamodeo@stny.rr.com>

MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator.

It allows you to play up to 1876 classic (and some not-so-classic arcade
games)
from the 70's through the 90's from the comfort of your OS/2 desktop.

The OS/2 version has been updated to the latest version of the MAME core (.36
beta 10).  If you are upgrading from beta 6 or higher, it will automatically
update your Quick List and scan for newly supported games the first time you
start it up so you don't have to manually rescan everything from scratch and
erase your Favorites list.

I took some time to fix several bugs and annoyances this release.  The
following items have changed since version .36 beta 9.1:

* Updated to MAME core version .36 beta 10 
* PONG is available to everybody!!!!!
  ** NOTE:  You must disable the joystick to use this game.
            There is a bug in the MAME core causing the
            joystick to block out keyboard input and not
            function properly.
* Fixed a stupid, STUPID, bug causing a crash when the ROM 
  search path is changed.
* Changed the DIVE initialization code slightly to (hopefully) 
  work better with some ThinkPads and other hardware with 
  flakey DIVE support.
* Fixed a bug that caused changes in the joystick settings to 
  not immediately take effect in the middle of a game. 
* Fixed a bug causing games with looped samples (like Galaxian)
  to stop playing the samples when the game is unpaused.
* Got rid of a few ugly error messages in the Debug.Log when 
  the game is paused and sound is enabled.
* Tweaked the Quick List dialog screen to give the window focus 
  to the Favorites list by default.
* Fixed the startup sequence when using a game name as a 
  command line parameter so that the loading status screen gets
  the window focus while it is loading.

As always, you can download the latest release from
http://emuos2.vintagegaming.com.

Enjoy!
