For immediate release


               Junk Spy Ready For OS/2 Action


  Junk Spy (http://www.sundialsystems.com/junkspy/) is ready
for download.

  "It's a free prerelease version," says Randell Flint of
Sundial.  "We're finished with our internal testing, and now
we want everyone to give it a try.  Go straight to the Junk
Spy page and get yourself a copy."

  Junk Spy installs between your email program and your mail
server where it watches for, and filters out, junk mail.

  "This is a hands-off answer to everyone's junk mail
problem" adds Rollin White, Junk Spy's Development Manager.
"Here at Sundial we constantly analyze new junk mail and we
also continuously update a database of known spammer sites.
We do all of the logic enhancements and database updates so
Junk Spy is always current."

  Get your prerelease version of Junk Spy right now at

           http://www.sundialsystems.com/junkspy/

  "Junk Spy's logic engine lets us do much more than an
end-user can with filters, since a mail program's filters
can't access a database of clues or do extensive logic" says
Randell Flint.  "And because Junk Spy does all the checking
based on Sundial's constant flow of database updates and
detection clues, there's no need for a user to create
filters and then keep them updated."

  Junk Spy makes email more productive since you don't waste
time cleaning trash messages from your inbox.  It's another
solution from Sundial - "Sundial Has The Answers".

PMView is a rather popular graphics viewer for OS/2 that has been
around for a few years. A little more than a year ago, the people who
make it announced that they were working on a major upgrade. Since
then, very little has been heard. Until now.

There is a new page posted on www.pmview.com ; it gives an official
release target date (end of November) and pricing info for the next
release of PMView. It also mentions that there was a "sneak preview"
of the new version released at WarpStock 99.

Check it out at http://www.pmview.com/us/future.html .

This page contains a HUGE list of OS/2 programming 
resources on the web.  If you are looking for OS/2 
programming information, this web page should be your 
first stop.  No other operating system has such an 
extensive and comprehensive list of programming 
information in one place.

I've added a couple dozen entries since the last 
update in April.  I still have a bunch more to add, 
but I figured it was time for an update anyway.

                 OS/2 SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP
              PHILADELPHIA AREA COMPUTER SOCIETY
                   http://www.phillyos2.org
  
The OS/2 SIG of the Philadelphia Area Computer Society invites
all interested computer users to attend the October meeting:
  
        WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27 1999   7:00 - 10:00 PM
   The Episcopal Academy, 376 N. Latches Lane, Merion, PA
  
         ***   OCTOBER FEATURE PRESENTATION   ***
          --  Remote Boot of Warp 4 via RIPL  --
  
The main feature planned for the October meeting will be a
presentation/demo of Remote Boot of OS/2 Warp 4 by SIG member
Vadim Kavalerov, making use of IBM's RIPL for this purpose.
Comparisons of RIPL (Remote Initial Program Load) with WSOD
(Workspace on Demand) will also be discussed.
  
Dozens of RIPL requesters can share a single hard drive installed
on a server. Switched fast ethernet networks are in general use
which provide wide bandwidth to make RIPL practical. But the main
advantage is simplified system administration. Applications, user
data, or system software updates need be installed only once to
be instantly available to the whole workgroup, on every desktop.
An additional advantage of RIPL systems is high reliability.
  
We'll be showing how to configure a basic Warp 4 RIPL requester
with Warp Server for e-business. A few other ways to manage RIPL
clients with IBM and ISV products will also be discussed. All it
takes to boot Warp 4 is to install a supported network card.
  
SIG member Vadim Kavalerov is an investment analyst working for
a major brokerage firm in the Philadelphia area. He holds a PhD
in physics and has been working in research labs, and has taught
university students since 1984.
  
Other agenda items include SIG business matters, OS/2 news, new
software releases, Q&A session, software raffle, etc. An OS/2
system will be on hand for demos of OS/2, Java, Internet, etc.,
as time permits. Free light refreshments will also be available.
  
Mark the date and time: Wednesday, October 27th, at 7:00pm, to
hear about all the new and exciting developments, or if you have
questions about OS/2 Warp and Java. OS/2 SIG meetings are open
and free for OS/2 users, their guests and all others interested
in learning about OS/2 and associated Java technology.
  
     WE SUPPORT THE JAVA LOBBY:   http://www.javalobby.org
  
Further information, directions to Episcopal Academy, and other
useful information about the OS/2 SIG activities may be found on
our web site at http://www.phillyos2.org, or contact SIG Leader
Larry Lavins: llavins@worldnet.att.net, or phone (215) 878-9609.

For the people who did have the time to follow the ODIN 
project (old WIN32 OS/2 project), here is an short update. 
We have not seen a lot of it on the net in the last few 
months, the homepage was very silent. This is because the 
people of the ODIN project almost did a complete re-write. 
The loading of programs is also different now.

from the win32 os/2 mailing list:

Just an update regarding the project: Last week the team got WinZip
running on OS/2, including standart installation! Opera/2 is doing very
well, still some bugs in it but we hope to fix them within the next two
month. So thinks are getting bether and bether and a binary release
will be ready in the next few weeks!

(Yes, page redesign is also under construction!)

As you may have read in the newsgroups or noticed 
yourself, there are problems with StarOffice 5.1a if you try 
to work with dbf databases. The problem there is that 
a changing (e.g. a sort) will not work correctly. There are a 
new file which correct the problem. To initialize it, please 
copy the file after the download into the main path of 
StarOffice 5.1a and replace the old file. After that you 
should reboot your system again.

After the terrific time we had at WarpStock 99 we are finally 
caught up on rest and getting back to work.

We are finally making available the new release of WarpZip that 
appeared during WarpStock weekend. WarpZip is now at version 
2.3. Information, screenshots and fully functional copies are available 
at http://www.pillarsoft.net/warpzip.html


NEW IN THIS RELEASE

1) Sometimes "Grep" window would lose it's color information. (Fixed) 
2) Fixed extracting zipfile's with spaces that contain filenames with 
spaces. (Fixed) 
3) Will now view icons (.ICO) in internal viewer. (New)
4) Press F3 key to stretch graphics in internal viewer to full 
screen. (New)

WARPZIP OVERVIEW

WarpZip is the latest in Zip and OS/2 "Packed" file management. Beneath
WarpZip's stunning interface you will find some revolutionary and 
powerful functions that will save both time and effort and boost your 
productivity.

The integration of a directory tree as part of the interface makes 
unarchiving complete archives or just selected file(s) from an archive 
to any directory as simple as a 3 inch drag and drop, to ANYWHERE on 
your drives. If you don't have the directory you want, create it! You 
can also open any folder from the directory tree for drag and drop 
operations. Drag files into or out of archives. Delete any directory or 
even complete directory trees from WarpZip!

DOWNLOAD PREPROCESSOR

No more manually selecting a directory when downloading from NS. 
WarpZip's Download PreProcessor allows your browsing sessions to 
sport one click downloads that obey your every whim. It will selectively 
move your downloaded zip files to any directory you choose, test them 
for integrity, virus test them and queue them up for later review by 
WarpZip. All this is handled seamlessly in the background while you 
spend your online time making your browser session count. When you're 
offline, WarpZip will be waiting with the list of files you've
downloaded. It will automatically load them in it's queue on startup 
and present you with any test results you may have requested.

PACKED FILES?

OS/2 Packed file extensions can have "_" or "@" or no extension 
at all. So how do you locate them? Better yet, how do you locate and 
see what files are archived inside of them? We are unaware of any 
software that will help you find those almost unrecognizable 
OS/2 packed files except WarpZip. Of course, dragging a file out of 
them or viewing them is as easy as working with a zip archive.

SEARCH FACILITIES

WarpZip will search a directory, directory tree, hard disk or CD for 
zip files as well as OS/2 packed files. It will add or delete files 
from archives, view files in archives or you can test run them (to do 
an installation, for example) and let WarpZip clean up after you. 
You can test zip files or run virus scans, view bitmaps, grep, build 
self extractors, copy, move, rename, delete... well... you get the 
picture...

INSTALLATION DETAILS

During installation WarpZip will allow you to use existing paths for 
dll's etc.
and keep track of them for you. It will write an uninstall script 
specific to your installation should you decide to remove the program 
at a later date. No forgotten file clutter...

ERATTA

WarpZip licenses are available at BMT Micro ($29)http://www.bmtmicro.com

This version of WarpZip was available at WarpStock for those of you 
that may have received it there.

After visiting with many of you at WarpStock, (Arkay brought this 
to my attention) it has become apparent that we haven't been able 
to make it all clear about what WarpZip really does. Because I 
can't demo it very easily here, I would hope that you all would take 
the opportunity to download a fully functional copy from our website 
and try everything out. The "Sample.zip" that opens automatically on 
the first run will help get your feet wet but we hope you will check 
into all the different search mechanisms in the program too.

A personal note concerning WarpStock: I must say that the organizers were 
all terrific to work with and "very" helpful. I would also like to 
give a well deserved and humble "Thank you" to everyone that stopped 
by and said "Hi". I had such a great time meeting every one of you and 
really appreciate the support you have all shown. The OS/2 users at 
WarpStock are Great... Great people.

**********************************************************************
 
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.  Of special interest is OS/2 2.11 SMP for 1-16 CPU's.

We have this week: Gear CDR burner, MS Word for OS/2, Novaback, Partition
Magic 3, Describe, Sytos Backup, Novaware Client/Server Data Management,
FaxWorks Pro LAN, IBM LAN Network Manager, Vinca Standby Server, Drive
Image, Performance Plus, and some IBM Ultimedia products.

For collectors we have: a lapel pin and a diskette box.

For programmers, we have: DevCon CD's 5-9, Watcom C++ and Fortran, Borland
C++ books, IBM Visual Age for Java, IBM VA Basic (!!!!), IBM Book Manager
Build/2, IBM Visual Age C++ 3, and Borland C++ Library Reference.

On comp.os.os2.marketplace, someone is selling Warp 3 Connect.

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.

During a trip to IBM in Austin, I had a chance to speak to Steven
King (well known to all OS/2-guys) and fresh from the source, here's
his announcement:

There IS a service offering from IBM for installation and support of
an official Aurora Client to be officially announced within the next
couple of days.

This includes fee-based onsite installation based on a modified
version of the Server to install Warp 4.5 Client including MPTS,
TCPIP, LAN Requester, Syst. Mgmt. comp., Netscape, Java and so on; as
well as a supportline contract for reporting problems to IBM. Once
again, this is a fee-based service-offering, it's NOT a shrinkwrap CD
for endusers. If you are a IBM-Business-customer, contact either
Steven King (for North and South Amerika) or me (for Europe) for more
information.

Subj: [WarpCast] SFX Installer updated

Subject: [WarpCast] SFX Installer updated
From: "WarpCast News Service" <feedback@os2ezine.com>
Reply-To: "WarpCast News Service"  <feedback@os2ezine.com>

The SFX Installer has been updated with a couple of usability
features including:

Double-clicking a directory in the tree now opens the directory
folder and it now offers to open the destination folder after a build
for testing the newly built archive.


SFX INFORMATION

The SFX Installer offers the first one file archive/installation tool
widely available on the OS/2 platform. It marries the installation
tool for your software and its own setup tools into one friendly
package for point and click installation setups that are personalized
for your software. SFX allows you to build an archive in standard or
self-extracting format, with or without the installer.

There are no cryptic scripts to learn to write other than any
setupstrings (samples provided) you need to place folders and icons
on the desktop. The installation setup tool allows you to point and
click a complete setup. When you are satisfied with how the archive
should be setup you can save all the information and recall it when
needed. SFX will save and retrieve as many setups as you have disk
space for and will help the author of multiple programs to keep them
organized. It can also be used as a general zip file distribution
builder as well.

The SFX Installer includes several novel details for the software
distributer including:

1) Dll and help file placement (and tracking) into existing LIBPATH
and SET HELP directories so your user may avoid adding to these paths
and also avoid rebooting before usage.

2) An uninstallation script is written at install time specific to
the users installation that will, track all files your program has
installed and remove any WPS objects created at installation time.
This uninstall script can be modified if needed via a plugin.

3) Authors can make use of Plugin scripts to overcome any
installation limitations that your installations need to perform.
(examples included)


Although the installer is distributed as shareware through BMT Micro
(http://www.bmtmicro.com/), we invite freeware authors to use the
installer free of charge as a small token of appreciation for their
selfless work. Please read the license for more details.

More information and downloads are available at:

NOTE: This is an update to the version offered at Warpstock.

I found an interesting article about the upcoming Apache 2.0  webserver
and OS/2 at Apacheweek. They write that the new version of Apache for
OS/2 will have support for threads, I think this will increase the
performance on OS/2.

My apoligies, the OS/2 Around the World site was just posted
yesterday morning.

But it's up finally:

  http://trss.webjump.com/os2atw.htm 


What is the OS/2 Around the World site? 

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.

I have just uploaded beta 1 of MAMERun to the /pub/incoming directory
of Hobbes:

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

Final expected placement is:

  http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/apps/emulator/ 

What:

MAMERun is a FREEWARE PM front end for the DOS version of MAME
(Multi. Arcade Machine Emulator). A front end is a program that makes
it easier for the user to interface with his application, which
usually has a command line interface. MAME is a very popular emulator
that allows you to run thousands of classic arcade games on your PC
(if you own the ROMs). You can find the MAME homepage at:

  http://mame.retrogames.com/ 

The Official (and very good) OS/2 PM port of MAME was done by Marty
Amodeo and is at:

  http://emuos2.vintagegaming.com/ 

Why:

I wrote MAMERun because I wanted an alternative to running the PM
version without having to reboot back to Windows or type in really
long command strings. Some people have problems with their video and
sound in PM. For me it was the fact that my poor system just couldn't
chug along fast enough too keep up. I also like to tweak stuff. I've
included most of the options that MAME has (some 30 of them) so you
can fiddle all you like. You may find that using the DOS version of
MAME under OS/2 works better for you, or maybe not. Just keep having
fun!!

Requirements:

OS/2 
MAME for DOS (I used version .36 beta 7)
DOS Support installed
REXX
joystick device driver (download from hobbes or DDPAK)
ROMs (DO NOT ASK ME FOR, OR WHERE TO GET ROMS!!)

  Warpstock '99 was a resounding success.  By all accounts, 
this was the smoothest run conference so far.  Everyone 
will want to make plans to attend next year's event, 
Warpstock 2000, to see how it builds on the success of 
Warpstock '99.

  This year, from the time you signed in, to the last raffle
on Sunday, there was plenty of information and fun to be 
had.  Peter Coffee's Keynote address was a highlight of
the conference with the title "On the information super-
highway, who wants to drive a Pinto?" referring to another
less robust operating system.  Even here, however, we were
reminded of the far reach of OS/2 and Warpstock, as Peter 
had to explain the "Pinto" to the European attendees as a 
car that had a tendency to explode on rear impact.

  There were a full slate of sessions covering topics for 
everyone.  Programmers had a field day with sessions on
Device Drivers, Assembly Language, and Object Rexx, for
example,  while nonprogrammer could see the latest 
demos of OS/2 software solutions.  A common refrain 
heard during the weekend was how difficult it was to
choose between all the sessions occurring in the same 
time slots.

  Lest anyone think this was all work, however, there was
plenty of fun to be had as well.  The Saturday evening 
social, "Magic Moments", was a spectacular event.  The 
food was fantastic, the company was enjoyable, and the 
entertainment was magical.  Hosts VOICE and Mensys, 
truly made it an evening not soon forgotten.  Sunday,
however, Sundial's "Warped Jeopardy" tested everyone's 
memory as the contestants and audience attempted to find 
the question to the answer in this live-action game show.  
With answers from the earliest days of OS/2 and a look at 
previous marketing campaigns, attendees were treated to a 
hilarious version of the past, present, and future of 
OS/2, with prizes and discounts galore.

  Between sessions and during breaks, attendees were able 
to meet the exhibitors and see demonstrations of the latest
OS/2 products.  From Serenity Systems OS/2 install in less
than a half minute, to Sundial's complete product line, 
there was something for every OS/2 user.  The Vendor 100
program also gave attendees a chance to see demos of many 
OS/2 products including a host of shareware software.

  This year's Warpstock definitely had something for 
everyone.  Attendees at Warpstock '99 found the facts, the 
friendship, the fun, and the future of OS/2.  Come join us 
for Warpstock 2000, as we continue to make each year the 
BEST WARPSTOCK EVER!



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

There is an article at PCWEEK Online by Peter Coffee titled
"Thin-client economics revive 'dead' OS/2":
 
  http://www.zdnet.com/pcweek/stories/columns/0,4351,2377721,00.html 

Peter begins by mentioning how he opened the Serenity 
Systems Pavilion in the exhibit area by building a network 
with the push of one button. And that was on a remote 
control device.

Peter's positive article provides several interesting 
analogies regarding the status of OS/2 and OS/2 users.

Chris Stumpf, a Serenity Systems channel partner, is 
exploring the possibility of a redux of the "one button" 
network for the Philly OS/2 UG Meeting on RIPL.

The Pentium optimized version of the recently released MAME for OS/2
.36 beta 7 has been updated. It was originally built using a buggy
GCC optimization which caused instability. The 486 version did not
suffer from this instability and did not need to be updated. I have
rebuilt the Pentium optimized version without the offending
optimization and it has cured many problems.

If you currently have the Pentium optimized version, I strongly
recommend that you download this update. It is available at:

  http://emuos2.vintagegaming.com/ 

as usual.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

  http://www.theregister.co.uk/991027-000015.html 

It reads, in part:

  "JVM top honours went to Tower Technology's Tower J3.1.4 on Red
  Hat's Linux 6.0 Intel, which was just 1.3 per cent faster than

  OS/2 by 6.7 per cent."

The development of SecureDesktop is stopped.

The reasons:

(1) Unresolvable problems in creating and killing the WPS
(2) Lack of information on the side of IBM - I'm waiting 
now about nine months on documentation about file access 
control

I'm frustrated about this situation, but what should I do?

Thanks to all who tried SecureDesktop. Sorry to all who 
had great expectations in my product.

If you look at the following URL:

You see what appears to be another Java 1.1.8 
fix.

Three new drivers can be found at Hobbes, currently in the incoming
directory:

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

First there are two drivers from  Robert Lalla, Loerrach, Germany
(rlalla@stepnet.de).

usb_com_fix01.zip: USB modem driver, fixed to work with non-3Com
hardware.
 
(from readme)

"This is a modified version of IBM's OS/2 driver 
(Jan-06-99) for USB modems. It should fix some severy 
problems when using modems other than 3Com.

Summary of modifications
------------------------
* fixed bug that caused system trap when plugging hardware 
other than 3Com.
* disabled detection of optional "COMM_FEATURE". My test 
hardware pretends to support this mode, but it doesn't work 
at all.

Known problems
--------------
* poor performance after a few minutes of operation
* PMFax / Faxworks not working
* no hardware emulation for MSDOS / WinOS2 support"


usb_uhci_fix01.zip: USB host controller driver (VIA and Intel
chipsets).

(from readme) 

"This is a modified version of IBM's OS/2 driver 
(Jan-06-99) for UHCI style USB host controllers. It should 
support mainboards equipped with an INTEL, VIA or ETEQ(?) 
chipset, as well as VIA USB addon cards.

Summary of modifications
-----------------------
* added workaround for VIA chipset bug
* added support and autodetection for upto 4 mainboard 
ports. (not tested)
* fixed load message to screen (also fixed by IBM in the 
4/29/99 build)
* various stability enhancements"


Then we have Daniela Engert from Germany, the same person who maybe
made one of best known OS/2 drivers, the DANIS506 driver. Now she
has
given OS/2 users another suprise, support for IOMEGA IDE ZIP 250MB:

daniadsk.zip

(from readme)

"This filter driver supports all of the ATAPI disks that 
IBMATAPI does (LS-120, ZIP-100, JAZZ), and in addition the 
ZIP-250 (including full media swapping).

Current implementation status:
- it suffers from the same bugs as IBMATAPI.FLT
  (except for the trap at APM resume when the base S506 
driver exports forced ATAPI fake devices)
- it is not yet as optimized as DaniS506.ADD"

Future plans from Daniela:
"TO DO
     - optimize
     - merge with the IDE CD filter driver
     - merge with the base S506 driver
     - implement the ASPI interface"

I'd like to announce the release of ServerConfig/2 version 1.5.

ServerConfig/2 is a PM configuration util for Apache webserver, the
InetPowerServer/2 and the IBM TCP/IP Firewall!

It has an easy to use PM interface and allows you to do things by
simple mouse clicks.

It also allows you to remote configure any OS/2 and unix/linux
Apache. It includes a daemon that can be compiled under any gcc and
thus allows ServerConfig/2 to receive and save configurations
remotely, all from OS/2.

Full support for the InetPowerServer, for all the services, with full
GUI support for user management.

Full support for the TCP/IP Firewall, GUI interface for all the
rules, log file, error log and Tunneling (VPN) support!

Home page:

  http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~dm898/soft.html 

By the way, in case you are wondering where I found the firewall,
it's included in tcpip 4.1/4.2/4.21.

Hello from @Macarlo, Inc. Shareware & Web

I'm starting a giant web site on a new extra-fast server where I will
increase OS/2 activities with tests and reviews for publication every
day and I will expand my OS/2 download area.

I just replaced my Aldus Page Maker on Warp 4 FP6 with the native WPS
application Maul Publisher with great success (consumes only 9% CPU
vs. 40% consumed by Page Maker). I'm just publishing an illustrated
report about this test. Check it at:

Previously on WarpCast (http://www.os2ss.com/warpcast/wc4333.html) we
announced what we believed to be the latest fix for Java 1.1.8 for
OS/2.  The URL that was listed in that announcement has been removed
from the server and it appears that it was not an update for Java
1.1.8 after all.

The latest Java 1.1.x fixes can be found at:
