From what I can see, IBM this morning updated disk images "1" and "F"
of FixPak 12 for Warp 4, and also replaced the zero-length disk
images "G" & "H" with actual images.

The FixPak can be found at:

  ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/fixes/v4warp/english-us

Also, regarding the earlier problems with this FixPak, Irv Spalten
posted the following on comp.os.os2.bugs:

  Subject FP's have been released.

  Boulder did have a SPACE problem, and it appears that FP 12 ran
  into it. Boulder ran out of space, FP 12 and FP 42 has some
  corrupt/missing files. All should be working now. All the FP 12
  RSU date stamps are from today at 6:30 AM. We (IBM) are now going
  to be placing a 'header' file in the FTP directory. For instance,
  you will see this in XR_W042
  
  *
  * Initial Release of OS/2 Warp 3 FP 42
  * 09/30/99
  * Diskette Images XR_W042.1DK to XR_W042.JDK
  *

  In XR_M012 you will see this :

  *
  * Initial Release of OS/2 Warp 4 FP 12
  * 09/30/99
  * Diskette Images XR_M012.1DK to XR_M012.HDK
  * 09/30/99 1:30 PM CST
  * Diskette Image XR_M012.FDK replaced, file was corrupt
  *

  These headers will be updated as we change any file for any
  reason.

  We also know people look for new directories, and grab files. The
  initial headers will now say uploading in progress or not
  verified/incomplete, and then replaced with an official release
  date.

  Irv

Moderator's Note: When FixPak 12 for Warp 4 was first released some
disk images were zero bytes in length.

  Did you start using OS/2 before it had a GUI?  Or are you
a Johnny-come-lately who talks to his machine?

  Either way you'll find all the OS/2 answers, and most of
the questions, at Sundial's special big-budget Warpstock
event - Warped Jeopardy!

  True to the TV Jeopardy! theme, Sundial has the answers
and the contestants better have the questions in this
take-off of the popular television show, done with a
definite OS/2 bent and a few other twists.  (We don't call
it Warped for nothing!)  The three well-known contestants
see the answers and have only a few seconds to supply the
proper questions in this fast-paced multimedia
extravaganza and stage show delight.

  Sundial Systems will be your host for this first-ever
stage production at Warpstock with a whole new set of
categories, contestants, answers and questions - all related
to OS/2.  Even if you saw Warped Jeopardy! in its wildly
successful west coast debut, you don't want to miss
Sundial's Warped Jeopardy! in Atlanta.  This stage
experience includes a few "extras", with full-motion video
productions on the big screen overhead, a bit of unique
"team" action and some "special" OS/2 answer categories.

  There's audience participation also, with plenty of
spirited chances for those who have "the questions for the
answers".  It's fun, it's entertaining, and there are prizes
too at Sundial's Warped Jeopardy!.  Take a seat in the
Warpstock theater for this Hollywood-style show, and you
might just walk away a winner.  Seating is limited to the
chairs in the auditorium, so be sure to pick up your
admission tickets early at the Sundial Systems exhibit
booth.

  Sundial wants you to remember that "Sundial has the
answers!" with their DBExpert, Mesa 2, Rover Pack, Relish
and Clearlook products, and they've created Warped Jeopardy!
with OS/2 answers galore.  Join the rest of Warpstock at
Warped Jeopardy! and watch three well-known contestants take
center stage and try to link the answers to the questions.

  Remember, the answer is "The Premier OS/2 Event Of This
Century, Warpstock '99 Atlanta!".  And the question is, of
course, "Where will I be on October 16 and 17, 1999?"


  OS/2 users from around the world will meet October 16-17
in Atlanta.  Visit http://www.warpstock.org for the complete
information about this very special OS/2 event.

Just saw this on the SDD Mail List:


Hi Guys,

Today is the first day of an official agreement between IBM and  SciTech
for licensing SciTech Display Doctor for OS/2. IBM has  licensed a special
edition of our SciTech Display Doctor for OS/2  product, to be made
publicly available via their drivers online  pages, and in upcoming
fixpacks for OS/2 Warp Client, OS/2 Warp  Server for e-Business and

official display driver technology  included in all OS/2 products for IBM.

The IBM Special Edition of SciTech Display Doctor contains a subset  of
the features contained in the full product, as outlined below:

 . Resolutions of 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1600x1200
 . Support for all color depths
 . Refresh rates from 60Hz to 85Hz
 . DDC Plug and Play monitor detection
 . Full hardware 2D acceleration
 . Hardware cursor

The IBM Special Edition will be made available by IBM after it passes 
IBM's acceptance requirements. More information on this announcement  will
be forthcoming when we do our official press release on the  matter.

We still have an IMMEDIATE NEED for volunteers to step forward and take
a leadership role in this year's Warpstock '99 in Atlanta.  The
following positions still need to be filled:

     Audio/Visual Coordinator - Most of the preliminary work has
already been done in this area, but we need someone to take
responsibility for coordinating this on site.  This means making sure
that the right equipment is in the right rooms at the right time, and
working properly.  You will also be responsible for
making sure that all equipment is collected at the end of the event and
returned to the vendor.

     Physical Setup/Breakdown Coordinator - This is another on-site
task.  We need someone with leadership capabilities that can direct the
efforts of the other volunteers on this committee to make sure that all
exhibitors that need assistance setting up their booth, transporting
equipment, etc. has the help that they need.  Most of the physical
booth setup and network cabling will be provided by outside vendors.

     Registration Coordinator - We need someone to oversee this area
(ideally 2 people) to handle schedule shifts for the registration
committee volunteers, and handle any problems that might arise.  This
is also an on-site task and requires a minimum amount of time before
October 15.

     Conference Room Hosts - We still need more volunteers to help out
as conference room hosts.  If you're going to be attending the sessions
anyway, why not help us out and serve as a room host.  Responsibilities
include making sure that the speaker is in the correct room at the
correct time, and handling out and collecting session evaluations.

If you're interested in helping out, please notify Luc Van Bogaert
<vanbogaert@pandora.be>.

               SciTech Display Doctor 7.0 for OS/2
                       PREVIEW RELEASE 7
               -----------------------------------


Where do you get it?
--------------------

You can download SciTech Display Doctor 7.0 for OS/2 BETA 7 from our 
ftp site using the following URL:

 ftp://ftp.scitechsoft.com/sdd/beta/os2/sdd-os2-7.0.0-b7.zip


What is SciTech Display Doctor for OS/2?
----------------------------------------

SciTech Display Doctor for OS/2 brings SciTech's proven DOS and 
Windows device support technologies to the OS/2 Operating System. 
Although one of the core features of our DOS and Windows products is 
the support for the VESA VBE/Core standard, the OS/2 version has 
nothing at all to do with VESA services. Rather SciTech Display 
Doctor for OS/2 incorporates the new SciTech Nucleus, Graphics 
Architecture device driver technology to bring SciTech's device 
support to the OS/2 platform.  

SciTech Nucleus is a binary portable, OS neutral, device driver 
architecture. As binary portable drivers, SciTech can fully develop 
and test the core device drivers in the DOS and Windows environments, 
while being able to target any Intel x86 based OS as the runtime 
environment (such as OS/2). This essentially allows the OS/2 product 
to utilise the same SciTech binary device drivers as the DOS and 
Windows versions of the product, improving the quality and 
performance of the drivers for all supported operating systems.  


Runtime Requirements
--------------------

SciTech Display Doctor for OS/2 requires a version of OS/2 Warp 3 or 
OS/2 Warp 4 in order to run. More imporantly, it requires at least 
Warp 3 with fixpack 35, or Warp 4 with fixpack 5 installed. If you

Doctor will refuse to install.  


List of all supported chips:
----------------------------

This is a complete list of the various graphics cards that this 
version of SciTech Display Doctor supports. Please note that this 
list refers to the actual chips being used, not a board-level 
implementation. Thus you will not see any products from Hercules or 
STB on the list, but their products are supported because they use 
S3, Cirrus, Tseng, etc. chips. Also, any card with less than 512KB of 
memory cannot be supported by SciTech Display Doctor.

Note that there are many more chipsets that will work with our 
existing legacy VBE/AF based drivers, that are not included in this 
list. For a complete list of all chipsets supported in our prior 
Windows and DOS products, please visit our web site. We are currently 
in the process of moving all our existing device support code to our 
new SciTech Nucleus device driver architecture. The above list only 
lists those drivers that have been converted, and we won't be 
supporting any chipsets not on the list until those drivers are 
properly converted.  


Changes in BETA 7:
------------------

. Finally fixed the bugs stopping our legacy VBE/AF drivers from 
working! Now SDD/2 should work on just about *any* graphics card, 
using Nucleus for maximum performance on new drivers, and VBE/AF for 
support of legacy cards. Hence we now support even ISA and VLB cards 
all the way back to the old Tseng Labs ET3000 and Trident 8900's!  

. Nailed the nasty bugs causing Watchcat, Process Commander and other 
fullscreen (and PM) applications to crash. Hopefully now all stranges 
crashes in the system with other applications will have been solved.  

. Added extended text modes back into the driver, now that the above 
problems have been solved.  

. Added full Plug and Play monitor detection when SDD/2 loads for the 
first time. This will automatically detect the monitor capabilities 
and filter the list of display modes and refresh rates based on this 
information.  

. Updated the GAMon monitor selection program to be more friendly. If 
you run this program with no command line and a monitor has been 
selected, it now reports the configured monitor information. This can 
be used to determine what SDD/2 automatically detected for your 
monitor via Plug and Play. It also allows you to force certain flags 
on and off, such as DPMS, GTF and 16:9 display modes.  

. Reverted to using hardware default memory clock for Matrox drivers 
to avoid problems with overclocking memory. Our control panel will 
eventually allow the user to overclock their hardware if they wish.  

. Added a new GAMemClk command line program, which allows the user to 
manually tweak the memory clock on their board to achieved maximum 
performance.  

. Added a new GAMode command line program to allow the user to add 
and delete custom display modes and refresh rates to the Nucleus 
driver. Basically this is the Dial-A-Mode command line program.  

. Added support for generating a valid GRADD.MOD file when SDD/2 
loads. This can be used to provide automatic support for Workspace On 
Demand in SDD/2.  

. Fixed centering and refresh for text modes in GACtrl, so that the 
adjusted values are now correctly saved for the drivers.  

. Added support for the Matrox MGA-G400 chipset, as well as 
additional support for 24bpp modes on Matrox Millenium and Millenium 
II boards. Also updated the Millenium and Millenium II support so 
that all high resolution modes are available (up to 1600x1200x32 on 
8Meg boards).  

. Added support for S3 Vision series of chipsets. The drivers are not 
fully QA'ed at this stage, but should work well.  

. Added support for more ATI chipsets, including the Rage Mobility 
and Rage XL/XC chipsets.  

. Updates and fixes for Cirrus Logic drivers, including enabling full 
acceleration for Cirrus Laguna 5465 chipsets.

Jerry McBride has written a REXX script that patches the 
OS/2 system files syslevel.os2 and syslevel.mpm to allow 
application of FixPaks greater than #40. This little 
application actually fools the CSF installer into thinking 
the target system is a LanServer 4.0 installation thus 
allowing the update of Warp 3.  The script will run on any 
OS/2 system but is designed for Warp 3.0 (Blue Spine). You 
can use the script on a Warp 3 (Red Spine) installation if 
you do not use WinOS2. What a clever way to extend the life 
of Warp 3!

The script is on Hobbes, currently at:

 http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/B110.zip 

And its proposed resting place is:

This isn't really new news but I thought it would be useful 
to owners of Dell Latitude CPi notebooks (and possibly 
others using the TI 1131 chipset).

For those of you who have been struggling (like I have) for 
months attempting to get PCMCIA working under OS/2 with my 
Latitude a recent note in a news group suggests using the 
following socket services driver (ss2pcic2.sys):
               
  ftp://ftp.uni-leipzig.de/pub/os2/boulder/os2/os2ddpak/ss2pcic2.exe 

It MUST be this version, dated 6-16-97.

I am using this file with the lastest PC Card Director 
files from IBM but the originator of the news group post 
(Mark Jiang) is using the PCMCIA.SYS that comes with Warp 
4.

I am now successfully running my PCMCIA modem under OS/2 
for the first time!

I'm proud to announce that my suite of OS/2 applications will be
present at Warpstock 99. Special arrangements between me, Thomas
Bradford of BMT Micro and Tom Stevic of Warpstock 99 made it possible
that a couple of OS/2 supporters will be exclusively demonstrating
the three applications -- WarpNote, Biograph/2 and PM Checksum -- to
the Warpstock 99 visitors. BMT Micro will be there to accept
registrations at drastically reduced prices for all three programs.

* WarpNote is a "yellow stickers" utility for those who are tired of
those sticky notes that won't stick on their monitor. WarpNote
provides sticky notes that remain where you put them: On your OS/2
desktop. WarpNote gives you easy access to little yellow windows
where you can note down everything you want. The program is simple
and easy to use and consumes as little memory as possible. Each and
any feature can be configured and adjusted to the user's needs.
Extensive scripting capabilities give you unlimited possibilities (a
birthday-reminder is included as an example script). A Blowfish
encryption interface ensures that private data is stored in a secure
way. These features make WarpNote an ideal desktop companion, a
fire-and-forget solution to keep all sorts of information - e.g. your
shopping list or even confidential information like banking data,
passwords or PIN numbers.

* Biograph/2 is the ultimate biorhythm program for OS/2 Warp. It
tells you about the physical, emotional, intellectual and intuitional
biorhythm and allows for displaying multiple biorhythm charts and
pair matching. The scientifically approved biorhythm method provides
a unique possibility to know how you might be feeling tomorrow - an
invaluable tool for those who are sensitive for those subtle
biological influences.

* PM Checksum watches your files! It tells you when a file on your
harddisk has changed and provides a means to check the authenticity
of files. It uses the widespread CRC32 and MD5 checksum algorithms
which have been implemented in Pentium optimized code to yield
maximum throughput. PM Checksum is easy to use and comes with an
additional command line utility for checksum calculation.

More information on these applications can be found at:

  http://www.geocities.com/rodeodrive/2048/eindex.html 

in the "Software" submenu.

I strongly encourage the OS/2 community and anyone interested in OS/2
to visit Warpstock 99 and show their support for OS/2 and OS/2
applications. See yourself how powerful the OS/2 operating system is
and what the wide variety of OS/2 applications makes out of this.

I have just finished ThermoProtect V1.31, and the new features of  this
version is as follows:

*Now ThermoAlarm feature have been expanded to cover PipeMonitor operating
 mode. You can now have the comfort and efficiency of SysBar/2's unique GUI,
 as well as the peace of mind provided by ThermoAlarm.

!A bug that will show all the fans are monitored even when it is not, is now
 fixed. Came as a surprise to me that no one noticed it as well. :)

The file is available NOW at:

   Some brand new web pages are waiting for you!

   All the HTML pages at IACT's website have been given new
layouts and new graphics, from top to bottom. We trust you
will find the site smoother, better organized, and easier
to navigate from one section to another. All the code and
graphics were made under OS/2 Warp v4.0, btw. Stay tuned
for more totally Warped improvements in the next few weeks.

   As many OS/2ers suggested, we shortened the Cover Page
and relocated the Site Overview to its own clean, new page.
With concise descriptions plus convenient links for each
section, the Overview can serve as an alternate way to
travel across the site. The URLs for both navigation pages
are linked below.

   Of course, we all know that some smoother layouts and a
sharper image won't mean much unless... we offer you real
depth of content. Rest assured, we've got a whole new batch
of articles for you.

   So enjoy Issue #6 of The IACT Quarterly Newsletter,
covering major topics such as standards and user interfaces:

      * questions/concerns in the battle over X.500, open
        directory services and new standards proposed by
        MSFT & Cisco and IBM & RedHat;

      * a better definition of 'user-friendly' software and
        manuals, with suggestions about customization of
        the Windows graphical user interface;

      * important features of the BeOS, e.g. journaled file
        system, multimedia services, realtime processing
        and virtual memory;

      * plus a special sidebar on the BeOS' versatile user
        interface;

      * myths versus facts of compatibility, costs and
        reliability in Windows compared to OSs such as OS/2
        and Linux;

      * and advantages of object-oriented interfaces such as
        OS/2's Workplace Shell compared to the object-based
        GUI of Windows.

The Warpstock planners are proud to announce that there will
be a wide variety of software development presentations at
this year's Warpstock.  Besides six presentations on a
variety of programming topics, there will also be a session
that introduces software development to people with no
programming experience.

"If you're a programmer or thinking about learning
programming, I guarantee there will be at least one
presentation that will teach you something," says Timur
Tabi, considered by many to be the world's sexiest OS/2
programmer.  "Who can claim that they know Rexx, Object
Rexx, Presentation Manager, Assembly Language, OS/2 device
drivers, TCP/IP programming, and Java? No one I know, not
even me."

The software developer presentations are:

Introduction to Programming: This presentation is intended
for people with no programming experience. Attendees will
learn the basics about software development, such as: the
software development cycle, what tools a programmer uses,
what makes a computer language, how computers work, and
more.

Introduction to REXX Programming: REXX is the built-in
scripting language of OS/2, and everyone who uses OS/2
regularly should know REXX.  It has the ability to control
almost every aspect of OS/2, and it is the most commonly
used language for applications that support scripting.  OS/2
users who know REXX are ten times more productive than those
who don't.  This presentation will cover everything you need
to write basic REXX programs.

Object REXX I and II: Object REXX (OREXX) is REXX on
steroids. OREXX takes the REXX language and adds object
oriented extensions, much like C++ does for C.  Two members
of Aviar, Inc. will lead you through this amazingly powerful
and cross-platform language.  The first session introduces
the language and cover its syntax and use.  The second
session covers advanced OREXX, with a focus on multi-media
and multi-threading.

Introduction to Presentation Manager Programming:
Presentation Manager (PM) is the graphical interface for
OS/2 - every OS/2 application that displays a window on the
desktop needs to use PM.  Why waste your time (and your
users') with bloated software made with the Visual Age class
library or Java?  Learn to write graphical applications
using the PM API, and your software will be small, fast, and
powerful.

Introduction to Assembly language Programming: Think
assembly language is only for gear heads who need to shave
10 microseconds from their code?  Think again - you can't
become a top-notch programmer unless you understand how the
CPU works, and you can't learn that without knowing assembly
language.  This presentation will give you everything you
need to understand assembly language programs.

Introduction to Device Driver Programming: Timur Tabi
continues his long standing tradition of making sure that
every OS/2 user knows how to write a device driver.  Why
wait for IBM or some uncaring hardware vendor to write a
driver for OS/2, when you can write your own?!  And new for
this year, the presentation has been expanded to two parts!
In Part 1, you'll learn all the basics of writing an OS/2
device driver.  In Part 2, Timur will go over an entire OS/2
device driver, line by line.

TCP/IP Programming on OS/2: Paul Hethmon, author of the
Inet.Mail mail server for OS/2, once again teaches TCP/IP
programming for OS/2.  TCP/IP is the backbone of the
Internet and the most popular network technology on the
planet, and OS/2 Warp is best platform for networking.  Let
Paul teach you everything you need to write TCP/IP enabled
applications under OS/2, including differences between OS/2
and other implementations of TCP/IP.

Java Programming: Gordon Roland takes off his Chairperson hat
and puts on his Java hat with two presentations on the Java
programming language.  First, Gordon tells you how you can
migrate your old COBOL applications to Java, using his
experiences as examples.  Then, in "Overview of Java
Technology Today", he talks about design goals of Java and
how well those goals have been met.  He finishes with an
overview of the state of the art today.

More information about Warpstock '99 can be found at the
official Warpstock web site, http://www.warpstock.org.  To

In a recent review of InJoy 2.3, I incorrectly stated that to be able
to use IPSec with InJoy it was necessary to purchase one or more
plugins. In actual fact the SOHO and Professional levels of InJoy 2.3
include a special 5-user version of IPSec.

I apologize for any confusion or problems this error may have caused.

Hot Corners v2.2 is now available at:

  http://www.cam.org/~guardia/programs.html 

for FREE.  Also check the other great utilities!

Hot Corners is a PM utility which allows to bring foreground
applications found in the Window List or to actually start any
objects by using your screen corners and borders.

Windows found in the Window List can also be brought to the mouse
pointer position once activated. They can be minimized or pushed back
in the Z order once the mouse pointer leaves their frame as well.
Moreover, each corner and border have different activation
combinations using mouse buttons, alt, ctrl and shift.

There are also options to set the timeout delay before activation,
and the corner margin.

New feature in 2.2, you can make windows float on top or on bottom.

New since 2.1
=============

- Patched the ESC key that made dialogs disappear in the PM Loader.
- Windows that are to be minimized or pushed back on pointer leave
  can now be moved and resized.
- Minimize and Push Back on Pointer Leave now REALLY give focus back
  to the topmost window. Looks like there is a whole bunch (~50) of
  invisible windows before the first visible one.  Don't worry if Hot
  Corners uses a bit of CPU time while looking for the first topmost
  visible one.
- Found a better way to open objects on top.
+ Added new float on top and float on bottom feature.  I've played
  with the code a long time ago and got tired because it's really
  just a bunch of kludge.  It sort of works, but don't expect too
  much.  Window switching might get slow when using float on top.

Every Monday, I'll be reporting on OS/2-related items for sale on
http://www.ebay.com and the comp.os.os2.marketplace newsgroup. Even if
you're not thinking about buying anything OS/2 related, you might find
something that catches your interest.

On eBay, there are several copies of OS/2 2.x, Warp 3, Warp 4, and Lotus
applications available for sale, as well as several OS/2 books, mostly for
OS/2 2.x or Warp 3.

We have this week: GammaTech Utils, Object Desktop, Netware Workstation Kit
2.0, NovaBack, HyperAccess, FaxWorks Pro, Comm Manager/2 and Drive Image
2.0.  There's also the great book "The Design of OS/2" - get it while you
can!

Again, there's quite a bit of stuff for programmers: IBM DevCons 8 and 6, C
Set++, Microsoft Assembler 6.0, and Borland C++.  There are also a boatload
of books, such as "OS/2 2.1 Application Programmer's Guide", "Power GUI
Programming with C set++", "Writing OS/2 2.1 Device Drivers in C Book",
"Writing OS/2 2.1 Device Drivers in C Book" (two great OS/2 driver books
just in time for my Warpstock presentations!), and "Software tools for OS/2
Creating DLLs Book" (another one I never heard of).  But the best of all are
the 5-book set of official IBM Reference Books and the extremely rare and
very useful 4-book set of Microsoft's OS/2 programming referencese.

Those of you looking to sell your OS/2 related stuff, I strongly recommend
you put it on eBay and post an announcement on comp.os.os2.marketplace. If
you include the word "OS/2" in the title of your description, I'll see it
and include it in the next report.

If you're looking for OS/2 items on eBay, search on the phrase ("OS/2",OS2),
including the parentheses.

Hi,

PPWIZARD is a free preprocessor which can handle any text file types but is
most frequently used for HTML and REXX development.  I believe it to be the
most powerful available and yet easy to use, for more details have a look at
ppwizard's homepage at "http://www.labyrinth.net.au/~dbareis/ppwizard.htm".
This page (and the rest of the site) was built using ppwizard, as was
ppwizard itself and its IPF and HTML documentation.

The main changes that have recently taken place (apart from bug fixes) have
been:

URL checker
=============
Checks ftp and http URLs.  Works integrated with ppwizard or as standalone
program.  You may wish to download ppwizard just to obtain this program.  It
will ensure that no external links will generate 404's etc.  It will tell
you when pages move.  If you keep all your links in a WPS URL tree then this
program can check these as well. It has many options including the
capability of only testing part of your total links on any one day. To view
it's doco have a look at
"http://www.labyrinth.net.au/~dbareis/ppwizard/ppwcurl_cmd.htm"

Other features:

* Spell checking capability

* FTPLIKE.H header file which allows you to build html pages of directory
structures with your look and feel (can autocomment based on .DIZ files
etc). You could easily extend to get comments out of a files extended
attributes etc.

* PPWSORT.H header file provides a radical but very powerful alternative
example of how rexx code can be generated. The header allows sorting of 1 to
'x' rexx arrays (ie keep associated data together) using 1 to 'n' keys and
sorting any way you wish.  Other more "traditional" style rexx header files
for ppwizard are available at
"http://www.labyrinth.net.au/~dbareis/rexxsrc.htm". Even if you don't want
to use ppwizard you may wish to pick up some of the source code.

* NestChk.H header file which provides generic nesting validation support.
This would allow you to ensure that you have always used a close tag for
every open (say for html table tags).

* Values on macro parameters are now optional.

Bye
Dennis

http://www.haynes97.freeserve.co.uk

It's a web site which concentrates on how to do stuff 
with OS/2.  Currently, there's how to LPR directly to 
a network attached printer, links to OS/2 related 
exam sites, how to install PCMCIA support on an 
HP3100 etc etc.

Coming up will be how to get OS/2 to log on to an NT 
domain and get your logon assignments automatically 
and how to share one modem amongst many PCs.

A mailing list for the great POP/SMTP mailer, Weasel, has been started.

A majordomo program for Weasel is in coding phase but at the moment
you can not subscribe automatically.

Therefore, if you are interested please send mail to
Heinz.Mueller@os2-oss.de with subject "[Weasel]".

Weasel is a "lightweight" server that leaves out fancy options that

Each decade has brought us new challenges - Flower Power, 
Punk Rock or designer underwear: We've survived and 
defeated them all and finally sent them back to where they 
belong. But now our oddest nightmares are coming true - a 
new enemy is sending masses of invaders to infect our 
computers, palmtops, dish washers and even some of the 
coffee-percolators!

The only way to prepare for the final battle is to live 
abstinent (OK, this one isn't _that_ necessary), think 
fast, practice hard and - of course - use the appropriate 
training tool. Therefore, we at Cramon Utilities decided to 
create one of the best training devices ever designed, 
which (as a side effect) is also:

The Ultimate Arcade Game for OS/2.

So: Fasten your seat belts and blast your way through the 
hordes of mutant bugs, spiders and other nasty creatures in 
this original fast-paced galaga style arcade game. Dazzling 
graphics and explosive sounds meet you as you pilot your 
lonely ship trying to free the galaxy from Bills Evil BUGS! 

Stardock Systems Inc. and Cramon Utilities today relased 
B.U.G.S. for OS/2 version 1.56
This upgrade fixes some annoyances with window 
creation/activation and some other minor issues.

It has been the common belief among OS/2 users that the 
OS/2 version of B.U.G.S. has been neglegted compared to the 
Windows version. This is far from true. Even though there 
has been a difference in version numbers the games are, 
except from small differences in their user interfaces, 
equal. To clear this up the new fixpack for the OS/2 
version has brought the version number up to version 1.56 
to match the Windows version.

As something quite new, the full version of B.U.G.S., which 
can be downloaded from Stardocks Commercial Server, is now 
wrapped in a totally new and cool GUI installer developed 
by Douglas Hendrix of Stellar Frontier fame. Thanks to 
Douglas for his help!

Expect to see a release of this cool freeware, 
crossplatform and open-source installer later this year :)

Visit the B.U.G.S. Homepage on:

  http://www.stardock.com/products/bugs 

Best regards

Your B.U.G.S. Team

I have found two problems with graphic card driver installation and
the Config.sys editor, Tyra/2.

The Check Paths function tells you that you can delete D:\ from the
LIBPATH and SET PATH. This is wrong. Without the D:\ the Setup.cmd
file from any GRADD based graphic card driver will abort with an
error message complaining that OS2BOOT can't be found. So you should
not allow Tyra/2 to delete D:\ from LIBPATH and SET PATH. If it is
already deleted you should add it to your LIBPATH and SET PATH
statements.

If your change history in the config.sys file grows long, the
dspinstl.exe program which is used during a graphic card driver
install won't start. So if you encounter any problems during a
graphic card driver install, or you can't reset you system to VGA
during the boot, you should try to delete the change history from
your config.sys file.

It seems to me that the dspinstl.exe reads the config.sys file and
tries to find the COUNTRY= and SET LANG= entries. The long section of
comments at the beginning of the config.sys confuses dspinstl.exe and
it will stop.

The next version of Tyra/2 will take care of the problems.

Sorry for all the trouble you may have had.

Tyra/2 is an easy to use OS/2 config.sys file editor and can be found
at:

David Moskowitz has been a part of the OS/2 community since 
the first beta of OS/2 1.0 in 1987.  He and Noel Bergman 
started the first OS/2 User Group in the country 
in Philadelphia as a part of the Philadelphia Area Computer
Society.  He has produced 4 books about OS/2 including the 
world wide best selling OS/2 Warp Unleashed and written 
numerous articles about all facets of OS/2.  He developed 
workshops for IBM to help developers migrate their 
applications to OS/2, and was even a consultant to Microsoft 
in the early days of the operating system.  More recently, 
he worked with IBM as an OS/2 expert at the 1998 Winter 
Olympic Games in Nagano, Japan.

Collectively, the 3 editions of the Unleashed series have 
sold over 750,000 copies world wide.  Warp Unleashed was 
translated into numerous languages including Japanese, 
German, Swedish, Russian, and Italian.  He was a 
contributing editor for OS/2 Magazine in the USA, wrote 
regular columns for Pointers in the UK and OS/2 World in 
Japan.  His workshops for IBM were based upon his first 
book, "Converting Applications to OS/2" 1989, Brady Books.  

He is currently working in the Java and e-Commerce space 
helping clients fully utilize today's technologies in 
heterogeneous environments where he uses IBM's VisualAge 
as well as IBM's Java implementations.   

You don't want to miss the first of his four presentations 
at Warpstock, "OS/2 Problem Solver".  You've got problems, 
we've got answers.  If you are having problems with OS/2, 
making it work in a multisystem environment, or networking 
(including cable modems), make sure you catch this session.  
There will be time for your questions, too.

Next, "OS/2 - Then, Now and ??" will lead you on a path 
through time as David explains how OS/2 got where it is
and where it is going.  From the first release of OS/2 1.0 
as beta in 1987 through 1999 David traces the 12 plus years 
from personal experience.  From his first book, "Converting 
Applications to OS/2" (1989) which was based upon OS/2 1.0, 
written on a Compaq Portable II with 16 Mb RAM and a 40 Mb 
hard drive through the 1994 best seller, OS/2 Warp Unleashed 
(SAMS Publishing), David has been part of the OS/2 community.  
During this session he will share memories about the past, 
observations about the present and predictions for the future.

"Java in the Real World: A case study", will cut through the
hype, and get to the bottom of this thing called Java.  
Everywhere you go you read about Java this and Java that.  
Are you thinking about using Java with your mission 
critical line of business applications? This session is for 
you if you want to learn the mistakes to avoid, or the 
things that work, or if you just want to compare your 
experiences to two other companies that have, "been there, 
tried it and done it." 

Finally, "What you don't know about Java Security will hurt 
you" is a your wake up call to security issues in a Java 
environment.  Java 2 (aka Java 1.2) introduces a new 
security manager.  Merely knowing what's new and improved 
isn't enough.  Is your code secure? Are you sure? Really 
sure?  You have to decide upon the proper balance between 
totally secure and extensible.  This session presents the 
basic rules you should follow to assure that your code 
isn't vulnerable to either accidental or malicious attack.  
Does your code follow them all?  Did you know that following 
only some of them can provide a window of vulnerability? 
Don't assume it is secure.

From an OS/2 retrospective to cutting edge Java security 
issues, David Moskowitz has the presentations that you
want to hear.  Don't miss his unique perspective and vision 
for the future of OS/2 at the premier OS/2 event of the 
century, Warpstock '99 Atlanta.

Beta 0.035 of SysInfo/2 is now available.

SysInfo/2 is a PM clone of Symantec's SysInfo from NU 3.0 for Win
95/NT. It now works quite fine and so is available for beta testing.

It has been posted to Hobbes and can be found at:

  http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/system/sysinfo0035.zip 

This program was made using SpeedSoft Sibyl and uses THESEUS API to
get information about memory distribution (*.DLL & *.SYS files are
included in the ZIP archive).

Several people who have bought Visualizer Personal Edition have
reported problems using it with DB2 UDB version 6. Visualizer checks
for the presence of an installed DB2/2 system by verifying the
presence of SQLA32.DLL. From DB2/2 UDB V6 onwards, this DLL no longer
exists, causing Visualizer to believe that SQL is not installed.

We are working on a fix for this and will put a message on WarpCast
when the fixed version is available.

Meanwhile, a bypass for the problem is to copy SQLA32.DLL from an
earlier version of DB2/2 into c:\SQLLIB\DLL. Then remove and
re-install Visualizer and all will be well.

More information on Visualizer can be found on our web site at:

There is some fresh news about Opera/2.  Here is a clip from their
web pages:

  OS/2

  Current status: Progress +2
  Latest Update: 05 October

  We got the Windows sourcecode from version 4.0 (which is
  not yet released) and one of the developers, was able to
  compile it without SSL and mailsupport under OS/2 with
  Odin32-APIs. The executable is not yet working and there
  are still bugs in Odin32; this is what we must fix now.

  A third developer has been added to the team and we think
  that the OS/2 version is not that far away! Of course, we
  cannot say how long it will take until it is working but
  progress is better than ever before.

Opera/2 is part of Project Magic from Opera Software, who are porting
their (10 Mb) web browser from Windows to OS/2, MacOS and other
operating systems. For more information about Project Magic, Opera/2
and Opera Software, go to:

  http://www.opera.com/ 

Odin32, now under the administration of The OS/2 Netlabs, is a
project that aims to convert Win32-apps to native OS/2 code. For more
information on Odin32 and The OS/2 Netlabs, go to:

Phoenix Software announced today that they will be giving a
presentation of the Think Tool Pro at Warpstock 99. The Think Tool
Pro is a feature rich, desktop database and information manager for
OS/2. 

In addition to giving a presentation at Warpstock, Phoenix Software
will also be taking the opportunity to exhibit the Beta 2 release of
the Think Tool Pro, and to distribute promotional CDs of the Think
Tool Pro. 

"Warpstock is the biggest OS/2 event of the year, and we want to make
sure we have the best presentation possible," said Robert Blake,

Business Manager of Phoenix Software. "We will also be handing out
free promotional CDs of the Beta 2, and we will be taking pre-orders
for the GA (General Availability) version of the Think Tool Pro at
the conference. Warpstock attendees will have a special opportunity
to get Beta 2 CDs of the Think Tool Pro. But it is first come, first
serve. Once we run out, that's it, so attendees should make sure to
get their copy as soon as they can," he explained. 

"Our presentation at Warpstock will be geared toward how the Think
Tool Pro can be used to easily create custom solutions for personal,
SOHO, and small business needs," said Peter Martin, lead developer at
Phoenix Software. "The version of the Think Tool Pro that we will be
presenting and that will be on the promotional CDs is the same
version that is shipping to our Beta 2 testers. It isn't perfect, but
it's pretty good for a Beta," he elaborated. 

The GA (General Availability) version of the Think Tool Pro is
expected to ship in late October.

business solutions using high performance database and database
applications. Phoenix Software can be contacted at:

Dialog Enhancer '99, the latest release of the acclaimed WPS update
by Richard Castle, will be making a full appearance at Warpstock '99.
Dialog Enhancer significantly enhances the visual aspects of your
OS/2 system. DE'99 performs its magic by replacing many of the
standard dialog boxes, icons, and bitmaps. The new dialog boxes all
use the WarpSans font, are resized and re-positioned to improve
readability, and in some cases include additional descriptive text.
After installing Dialog Enhancer, your OS/2 desktop will get the
ultimate in face lifts!

This recently released update includes new features like the Color
Manager (which lets you change those hard-coded colors such as
checkboxes and minimize buttons), allowing the smaller 32x32 icons at
high screen resolutions, and improved Win-OS/2 support. As always,
Dialog Enhancer also reduces the memory footprint of OS/2 without any
CPU overhead! 

Dialog Enhancer '99 will be showcased at Warpstock '99 under the
Vendor Pro program. Vendor Pro is a new feature of Warpstock where
OS/2 software vendors who cannot attend Warpstock can still have
their products demonstrated. Warpstock attendees can visit the Vendor
Pro booth, see dozens of OS/2 applications in action, and then
purchase them - often at special Warpstock prices. (During the
Warpstock weekend, Dialog Enhancer will be offered at the special
price of only $15 - what a deal!) With Vendor Pro, OS/2 users have
access to far more OS/2 software than ever before!

For more information on Dialog Enhancer '99, please visit:

October 1999, Reno - Phoenix Software announced today the release of
the Beta 2 of the Think Tool Pro, a multi-use, desktop database and
information manager for OS/2 based PC's. 

"The Think Tool Pro has been in development a long time, but I
believe it was well worth the wait," said Robert Blake, Business
Manager of Phoenix Software. "We are looking forward to getting
feedback on the Beta 2 from our registered Beta 2 testers," he added.

"This version of the Think Tool Pro isn't perfect, but it's pretty
good for a Beta," explained Peter Martin, lead developer at Phoenix
Software. "We hope to make the GA (General Availability) version
available by late October or early November, but the exact ship date
of the GA version will depend a lot on the feedback from our Beta 2
testers," he explained. 

The Think Tool Pro is a fully-featured database and information
manager. The highlights of the Think Tool Pro include:

  The Think Tool Pro offers multiple product functionality in one
  product: database, Personal Information Manager, and graphical file
  manager.

  A completely user-configurable interface allows anyone to
  rearrange the way data is presented, organized and linked (without
  programming) to best meet all of the wants and needs of the user. 

  Comes in a "ready to use out of the box" manner

  Completely flexible data linking and relationship capabilities

  Capable of scaling from small to large databases

  Multimedia sound, image and video capability

  The Think Tool Pro is native to OS/2

  OS/2 Work Place Shell Integration

  Fax interconnectivity and e-mail support

  Easy to use

  Drag and drop support

  High speed search and filter tools ("query" tools)

  Powerful file management tools

  Security features: password protection

Think Tool Pro requires a PC running OS/2 Warp 3.0 or later with a
100MHz Pentium processor and 32MB of RAM. An OS/2 compatible sound
card and microphone are optional to take advantage of Think Tool
Pro's multimedia capability.
