I took the liberty of recompiling Tisean 2.0 to OS/2. Tisean is a
bran-spanking new set of utilities that analyze the data in
non-linear (chaotic) systems. (If you don't know what that means you
don't need it :c) All the executables were compiled with gcc and g77
straight from the original source, so it's 100% compatable
functionally with the *nix distributions.

You can find Tisean at:

  ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/tisean-os2.zip 

and later, at:

  ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/apps/analysis/tisean-os2.zip

BLUEPRINT SOFTWARE WORKS, INC. ACQUIRES PMMAIL SOFTWARE
FROM SOUTHSOFT, INC. RELEASES NEW VERSIONS FOR ALL PLATFORMS.

New Version of Product Line Available October 15, 1999

Wilmington, NC - October 15, 1999,  - Blueprint Software Works, Inc., a newly
formed software development and 
publishing firm, recently acquired the PMMail software package from Southsoft, 
Inc.  Both companies made the 
announcement today.  An updated version of PMMail, one of the most powerful
email clients available, will be released 
on October 15th, 1999 immediately following this press release distribution.
The latest OS/2 version (2.10) is available on Hobbes or at
http://www.blueprintsoftwareworks.com

The PMMail product line is one of the most versatile email software packages
available.  This powerful and flexible email application provides extensive
support for emerging Internet standards along with a user-friendly interface.  

PMMail is a multi-platform application supporting OS/2 as well as Windows
NT/95/98/2000..  PMMail offers users a way to manage  unlimited email
accounts, providing a cost-effective, timesaving communication tool. 

"We are excited about the acquisition of the PMMail product line.  Southsoft
has developed an email application that is in a class by itself," said Thomas
Bradford, President, Blueprint Software Works.  "The PMMail feature set is
packed with everything a customer needs to manage email and the interface is
displayed in a logical and intuitive manner.  The program is designed for easy 
navigation, setting PMMail apart from other email programs."

"We created PMMail over four years ago," said Robert Novitskey, lead developer 
and President of Southsoft, Inc.  "Yet even today, no product has come close
to PMMail's power and feature set."

"In the past six months it became apparent that Southsoft could no longer
provide the level of quality in service, support, breadth of features and
timeliness of upgrades that our customers deserve," said Novitskey.  "As such, 
we searched far and wide to fine someone to take over the reins and continue
in the tradition that we have set forth.  We are pleased to have found a
partner (in Blueprint Software Works) who shares the same d=esire to see
PMMail continue to grow and astonish customers.

Blueprint Software Works is a privately held firm located in Wilmington, NC
specializing in software development, as well 
as publishing and marketing services for independent developers.   The
aquisition and launch of PMMail announces 
Blueprint Software Works' official entrance into the software development and
publishing market.  Negotiations with leading developers in the Internet and
multimedia market are currently under way as well and Blueprint Software Works 
will be announcing these agreements as they are finalized.

I happened across a new version of Danis506.add in 
/pub/incoming on Hobbes. It doesn't say what's 
different about it though.

From Danis506.doc:
"DESCRIPTION
Since the original IBM1S506.ADD doesn't support the 
IDE controller found in the VIA 82C586(/A/B) south 
bridge beyond the basic features, I wasn't very happy 
with the performance of my 10Gig DTTA-351010 drive. 
The driver from VIA itself was no solution because it 
doesn't support all the advanced features found in 
todays hardware and locked up my system completely. 
So I sat down....

     This release of my S506 driver is no longer 
based on the sources provided by IBM on their DDK 
site. It has the latest feature set as found in the 
current fixpacks and fixes later than these."

You can find Daniss506 at:
   ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/danis506.zip

and, later at:
   
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/system/drivers/storage/danis506.zip

There's been a small bugfix in my distribution of 
Tisean for OS/2, in the ar-run.exe program. It has to 
do with the random number generator, so if you don't 
need that function, or you don't care about poor 
random numbers, you don't need to download. I've also 
included another program, mem_spec_tab.exe, which 
uses tabs to separate data points, as opposed to 
spaces. This makes it easier to cut and paste into 
your favorite spreadsheet program.

Tisean is a very new large collection of programs 
that analyze the data from non-linear (chaotic) 
systems.

You can download Tisean for OS/2 at:
   
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/tisean-os2-fix1.zip

And, later at:

F/X Communications has released the first RADIUS compliant 
Remote Access Solution for OS/2. 

	http://www.fx.dk/connect. 

It's been more than two years since we started development 
of this powerful product and now it's finally ready. 
Business-wise the timing of this comprehensive product is 
awful, but for the die-hard OS2 user/business, this product 
indeed has a LOT to offer and you will find the pricing and 
the trial conditions to be extremely fair.

InJoy Connect (IC) adds Point-to-Point (PPP) Dial-In 
features to the InJoy product family. It's extremely easy 
to use and offers reliable Dial-In using normal analogue 
telephone lines, leased lines or ISDN (CAPI is supported 
through CFOS/2). An impressive set of high-end features 
makes IC one of the most powerful and secure software based 
Access Solutions available today. 

IC ships with several ready-to-go sample setups and the GUI 
is easy to comprehend, but as your requirements grow, you 
will appreciate strong and advanced features such as 
centralized management, modular/distributed design, RADIUS 
support, IPSec support, remote monitoring, advanced packet 
filtering, extensive documentation and an overall design 
that just won't quit. 

IC supports RADIUS for Authentication, Authorisation, and 
Accounting (a.k.a. AAA), but IC can also function as its 
own centralized AAA server (w/o the need for a RADIUS 
Server).

IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) is an Internet standard 
for interconnected, secure networking devices and the 
predominant technology in Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).

More information about IPSec is available at:

	http://www.fx.dk/ipsec 

InJoy Connect has been tested with a selection of TCP/IP 
stacks and OS/2 versions and even though this product is 
the first public release, then we are fully confident in 
IC's stability and concider it ready for business. 

The release of InJoy Connect is primarely targeted for OS/2 
users, home or business, seeking to offer Internet/Intranet 
access via a standard modem based solution.

Here is a few features that InJoy Connect currently does 
NOT offer:

	- Call-back.
	- Hot com-ports.
	- Multilink PPP

Have fun with the product.

Hello All

Roberto Soloman of Golden Code Development will be presenting IBM's
security add-on product for OS/2 called "Secure Entry".  This software
provides a secure, multi-user desktop facility, leveraging IBM's "SES"
(Security Enabling Services) hooks.  It secures local resources down to
the file level and is installed in over 200,000 seats across the world.

For anyone interested in how OS/2 can be made as secure as other popular
operating systems, the October Atlanta User Group Meeting is a MUST!

In addition, there will be a discussion/review of WarpStock for those
who did not get to go.

For more info on Secure Entry, see:

Hello Everyone,  
  
The regular meeting of the Triangle OS/2 Users Group will take place 
on Tuesday Oct. 26th at 7:30 PM at the IBM Sales Office, 4800 Falls 
of the Neuse Rd., Raleigh.  
  
I've asked Roger Root to share with us his impressions of his recent 
trip to Atlanta for "Warpstock '99".  
  
I'm about to leave for Florida for about a week and I haven't heard 
back from Roger, but he's pretty conscientious about attending the 
meetings. I'm driving back on the 26th, so if I'm not there to start 
the meeting... you know what to do.  
  
Regards,  
  
Steve

According to the Warpstock, Inc. bylaws, which have recently been approved by
a
6-0-1 vote of the Warpstock, Inc. board of directors, 4 new board members are
selected in odd years, and 3 new board members are selected in even numbered
years.  Board members are selected to serve a 2 year term.  When the new board
convenes for the first time, they will select officers for the coming year.

Before continuing, let me take this opportunity to extend my sincere thanks to
all of the departing Warpstock board members.  These board members have stuck
with me through thick and thin and have devoted hundreds of hours to make
Warpstock the tremendous success that it has become.  We owe all of them a
great
deal of thanks for everything that they have contributed to Warpstock and to
the
OS/2 community.

The departing board members are:

     Larry Finkelstein
     Judy McDermott
     Mark Abramowitz
     Rollin White

The following board members will continue to serve for the next year until
their
terms expire:

     Paul Hethmon
     John Ratti
     Tom Stevic

The following individuals have been selected as new members of the Warpstock,
Inc. board of directors:

     David Ameiss
     Jason Kowalczyk
     Stan Sidlov
     Luc Van Boegart

I wish them the best of luck in all future Warpstock endeavors, and look
forward
to a tremendous show next year that will continue to build upon the success of
this year.  Also, I want to point out that while I am departing from the
Warpstock board, I plan to remain as an active member of the Warpstock team,
in
whatever capacity they will have me.

Finally, thanks to all of you, the members of the OS/2 community.  Without
you,
there wouldn't be any reason for Warpstock to exist!

Better SFX support, the sfx volum setting now works.

Loading during game start up is done in a seperate thread.

Credits is given in the "About" window.

Setting window is provided for the OS/2 command line
parameters. This means that you are able to change the
OS/2 releated settings during game play, you do not have
to re-start the game. Settings are saved in the
hexos2.ini file where hexos2.exe resides. Note that the
command line parameters overide the ini file settings.

Better mouse grabbing, if you have turned on mouse
grabbing you will not be able to access the menu
unless you have paused the game, either by pressing
[Num Lock] or [Esc] key.

I wanted to contribute to the OS/2 community, and since I don't
program to the class that I could release a public product, and I
don't do much except keep LAN systems operational, and maintain
communications, I thought I would host an idea: "OS/2 Around the
World".

I frequently run across OS/2 users that don't know some of the good
sites for info, games, config help, etc. I thought I could post on
BAOS/2 a few sites a week to help spread the word.

Give me some feed back. Send email to: cjeffii@home.com

If you are an OS/2 enthusiast, or know of a few good OS/2 sites, send
me an email titled "OS/2 Around the World" with the links to the
sites.

If there is a good response, I will post the first series in a week.
Let's support our OS/2 community!

SciTech Display Doctor 7.0 for OS/2 BETA 8 has been released.


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

You can download SciTech Display Doctor 7.0 for OS/2 BETA 8 from our
ftp site using the following URL:

  ftp://ftp.scitechsoft.com/sdd/beta/os2/sdd-os2-7.0.0-b8.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
have a version with earlier fixpacks installed, SciTech Display
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.  

 . Alliance ProMotion 6422, ProMotion AT24, ProMotion AT25
 . Alliance ProMotion AT3D
 . Cirrus Logic CL-GD5434, CL-GD5440, CL-GD5436, CL-GD5446

 . Tseng Labs ET6000, ET6100
 . 3DLabs Permedia, Permedia 2, Permedia 2V
 . 3dfx Voodoo Banshee, Voodoo3

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 8:
------------------

. Fixed problems with the install script for Object Rexx. 

. Added workaround for crashes due to bugs in BVHSVGA.DLL in OS/2
fullscreen sessions. Bug fix for BVHSVGA.DLL is in the works. 

. Removed support for GRADD based refresh control, which has been
causing problems in prior beta releases. All refresh control is done
via our GACtrl fullscreen utility program. DDC Plug and Play will now
automatically choose a good refresh rate if you have a Plug and Play
monitor. 

. Temporarily removed line drawing acceleration which is broken.
Proper fix will be forthcoming in the next beta release to reenable
acceleration of lines. Line drawing appears to be the cause of a lot
of crashes in beta 7. 

. Fixed (hopefully) the last bug related to too many open file
handles to our device driver. This bug affects fullscreen OS/2 and
windowed command line programs. 

. Added support for TVOut on all ATI chipsets (RageII, RagePro and
Rage128). Our drivers will function correctly if you have a TV
attached when your system boots, and will also allow you to switch
between TV and CRT only mode using the GACtrl program. 

. Added support for LCD flat panels on ATI chipsets, including the
Rage LT Pro and Rage Mobility series. Our drivers will function
correctly if you boot up on an LCD laptop, or if you have an LCD flat
panel monitor attached. You can also switch between LCD and CRT modes
using the GACtrl program.

. Added support for S3 Savage3D and Savage4 acceleration. Full
acceleration is supported in all display modes. 

. Fixed bugs in the early S3 Virge (DX etc) chipsets, causing them to
crash when the system booted. 

. Fixed bugs and added support for the early S3 Vision series of
chipsets, with full acceleration. RAMDAC's currently supported are
IBM RGB5xx, TVP3026 and BrookTree Bt485. 

. Revamped the 3dlabs Permedia drivers, and fixed a number of bugs.
The drivers are still unaccelerated however, and acceleration is
coming soon. 

. Added 3dfx Voodoo Banshee and Voodoo3 drivers. The driver currently
supports all display modes, but is unaccelerated. Acceleration
support is coming soon. 

. Added NVidia RIVA-128, RIVA-128ZX, RIVA-TNT, and RIVA-TNT2 drivers.
The driver currently supports all display modes, but is
unaccelerated. Acceleration support is coming soon. 

. Added NeoMagic chipset support, with full acceleration. However the
driver will currently only function on an external CRT monitor, and
will cause strange results when running on an LCD panel. We are
working to get full LCD panel support working in the next beta. 

. Added as many IBM monitors into our monitor database as possible,
based on INF files downloaded from IBM's web site.

  Overflow Warpstock Crowd Bedazzled With Warped Jeopardy


  Warped Jeopardy! played to a packed Warpstock theater on
Sunday with guest host Randell Flint of Sundial Systems at
the helm of this traveling OS/2 game show spectacular.

  Celebrity contestants David Moskowitz, Judy McDermott and
Larry Finkelstein did their best to offer questions that
matched the OS/2 answers given by Flint.  In Warped
Jeopardy!, as in the original Jeopardy television show, the
host states the answers and the guests must come up with the
correct questions.

  One perplexing answer of the day, stumping all three
panelists, was "The Easiest Way To A Connected World" in the
Version Taglines category.  The correct response would have
been the question "What is Warp 4?"

  In the special Audience Jeopardy round, all six of the
audience contestants won Sundial product prizes with a
little help from their teammates and the celebrities.

  Sundial's Warped Jeopardy! is a multimedia extravaganza
with an OS/2 theme, complete with sound, video clips and a
multimedia screen with categories and levels and, of course,
answers.  "It matches our Sundial Has The Answers slogan,
and it's fun for the audience, the contestants and our
Sundial production crew," said Flint.  "The audience
absolutely loves the show, and we'll continue to make it
bigger, better and even more extravagant."

  Developing a hit product is something Sundial does well.
Junk Spy, Mesa 2, Rover Pack, Relish, Clearlook and DBExpert
are all part of Sundial's OS/2 product line.

  "We kept the spirit of the original Jeopardy in our new
multimedia Warped Jeopardy! show," added Flint, "and we look
forward to letting everyone think of their questions while
Sundial Has The Answers."

Just noticed this at IBM's Network Computing Software (NCS) Support News
Items page dated 10/14/99

http://ps.software.ibm.com/pbin-usa-ps/getobj.pl?/pdocs-usa/fixnews.html#wsmm

"US Warp Server SMP systems may not have Multimedia serviced

We have discovered a problem on the second time you use FixTool 1.38 or
later on a Warp Server SMP system. For instance, if you are installing a
FixPak on a Warp Server SMP system and Multimedia is not selectable as a
Serviceable Product, you have the problem. The solution is to download a
corrected SYSLEVEL.MPM. This fix is for US ONLY. NLV versions are
corrected by using the SYSZMPM.CMD file. To get the corrected SYSLEVEL.MPM
file, click on "Up to higher level directory" in FixPak 42 directory in
service.boulder.ibm.com. Go to directory "syslevel/wrpsvsmp" or use this
link to get the corrected SYSLEVEL.MPM (you may have to hold the SHIFT key
when clicking on the link to get the file). Copy this file to the
"MMOS2\INSTALL" directory where Multimedia is installed. Install the
FixPak or Select Multimedia only if installing a FixPak that has already
been installed."


SYSLEVEL.MPM can be found at the following link:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/fixes/v3.0warp/english-us/syslevel/w
rpsvsmp/syslevel.mpm

Warpstock 99 is over and it's time to start working on the November issue
of the VOICE Newsletter.  If anyone has an interesting story to tell about
how you use OS/2, or an application under OS/2 or perhaps some new
hardware, an OS/2 tip, a message of support or a suggestion on how to do
things better, we'd like to hear about it.  I'm particularly interested
this month in an article by someone who has attended Warpstock 99 or
perhaps from someone who didn't attend Warpstock, but listened in on IRC.

The Newsletter tries to be generally available by the 15th of the month,
so the deadline for final drafts for November is 8th.  If that's not
enough time there is always the following month :-)  You can check out the
Guidelines for Article Submissions to the VOICE Newsletter at
http://www.os2voice.org/VNL/past_issues/VNL1099H/vnewsfs.htm

If you are not a member yet, but would like to help other OS/2 users, we'd
like to hear from you as well.  Remember VOICE does not limit access to
our web site, newsletter, mailing lists or our IRC Speakup sessions. 
Better yet why not join us and help our organization (and influence) grow.

If you have found the newsletter useful in the past, please consider
adding your voice to those of other OS/2 users.  Please contact me if you
have any ideas or send a draft we can discuss.   editor@os2voice.org

According to The Register 
(http://www.theregister.co.uk/991020-000015.html) ATI has 
just gone open source and released the specs of its Rage 3D 
acceleration and multimedia cards. They are planning to get 
Linux drivers written by early next year.

Perhaps some cunning OS/2 device driver programmer can make 
use of this and write some drivers for OS/2?

MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator.  

It allows you to play your favorite 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 7).  If you are upgrading from beta 6, 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.

Please note that the official web site's URL has changed to
http://emuos2.vintagegaming.com.  It is still part of what used to be
Dave's Video Game Classics.  Dave has changed his site's name to the
Vintage Gaming Network which will have more of a focus on arcade
emulation.

Enjoy!

- Marty

I have released the source code to the latest version of MAME for OS/2
on the official MAME for OS/2 homepage.  If anyone is interested, they
can feel free to download it from http://emuos2.vintagegaming.com.

It requires GCC/PGCC, AR, LD, EMXBIND, and MAKE utilities.  If all of
these tools are properly installed, you should be able to unzip the
source tree and type make in the top level directory to produce an
executable.

If anyone has any questions or comments on the code, feel free to
contact me.

Serenity Systems established a relationship with SciTech 
involving support for Display Doctor with Managed 
Clients(r). "Support for various video chip sets and the 
higher resolutions is a challenge in the remote boot, 
remotely managed environment. The agreeement with SciTech 
will significantly increase the supported hardware for 
Managed Clients. This will likely mean that more 
organizations will be able to support Managed Clients on 
their current equipment, making the implemention more 
feasible in more organizations." according to Kim Cheung, 
Executive Director of Serenity Systems.

The relationship between SciTech and Serenity Systems will 
extend into future products. In addition to SciTech, 
Serenity Systems reached a preliminary agreement with 
Mensys in the Netherlands for the distribution of Managed 
Clients and CTI products. Exploratory discussions for a 
similar agreement are underway with a Mexican company for 
distribution to Latin American countries.

Serenity Systems also carried on discussions with some 
prominent OS/2 ISVs regarding further development of 
applications to integrate the Computer Telephony 
Integration products with the business desktop provided by 
the Managed Client.

The reality is ... it is the 4Q99. It will be difficult to 
execute in the next 60 to 90 days as all available 
resources are committed. Nonetheless, I believe the first 6 
months of 2000 may well be the most significant for OS/2 
since the Warp and Merlin rollouts. The next Warpstock is 
likely to be a much more exciting event as participants 
focus on what is and what is to come, and less focus falls 
on what was and what could have been.

Boca Raton, Florida--Solution Technology has made their Textflow
Batch OCR for OS/2 Standalone product more affordable. STi was able
to set a new user price of $299 (USD) due to a new licensing
agreement for the OCR engine.

Textflow is independent of any scanning application. The document
image files can come from almost anywhere. Textflow reads multiple
image files of almost any kind from a directory of your choice.
Textflow quickly translates each page of each image file into a
document in ASCII text or Rich Text Format (RTF) which is saved in
another directory.

"We are pleased that we are able to offer a high performance OS/2 OCR
product for a lower cost to the end user.", said Leon Zetekoff,
Product Manager of Solution Technology.

STi is a major manufacturer of production level OS/2 and NT based
image, barcode, and forms processing products including BarCode
Anywhere, Genie Forms Express, and ReView Document Manager. In
addition, the company is a principal supplier of accessory imaging
support subsystems for IBM's ImagePlus=AB and VisualInfo=AB product line=

as well as Input Software's InputAccel product.
