Bochs for OS/2 has been updated.  As of 10/31/99
CDROM emulation has been added.  I have no idea
what the current source he is using since Bochs
(http://www.bochs.com) has been moving pretty fast
as of late in terms of progress.

Dear OS/2 Community,

Next weekend I will update the webserver where OS/2 Netlabs is running
on it. Because of this (I do a complete reinstall) the server will be
not available the whole Saturday (Swiss time = Europe time, whatever
this is in standart time zone blabla...). It *should* be ready again
Saturday evening :-)

This is the first step for the complete redesign of OS/2 Netlabs, I
will install Apache, MySQL, and PHP3 to get a great backend for dynamic
websites. Next week the Odin pages will switch to a dynamic system and
a few weeks later Netlabs itself should be ready too.

BTW: The first Odin binary alpha release should be ready in the next
few days/weeks (more days than weeks :-)

Thanks for the great support and the nice mails I get all the time!

Adrian Gschwend
@ OS/2 Netlabs

Yesterday, November the 2nd I have updated my homepage with 
the latest version of my tools.

Please see:

http://www.os2ss.com/information/kelder/

Those who already downloaded OS2FAT32.ZIP must 
unfortunately do it again since I forgot (stupid) to 
actually upload that file.

Version 0.91 of FAT32.IFS has been confirmed to work with 
Warp Server for eBusiness.

Also, WPTOOL31.ZIP has been modified to correct a problem. 
Please check if you have CHECKINI version 2.45. If not, 
please download wptool31.zip again.

Press Release 

Aviar, Inc. releases the "translatable" version of KidStuff for OS/2, 
"Edu-tainment" Software for children ages 3 to 7 AND releases the 
KidSTuff Plus Pak I. 

Pittsburgh, PA -- Aviar, Inc. announced today that, it has released the 
translatable Version of its new product KidStuff for OS/2 and released 
a Plus Pak. 

John Urbaniak of Aviar stated: "We were happy to have received so 
many requests from individuals in countries where English is not the 
native tongue and felt it was well worth the effort to add the 
translatable features to KidStuff for OS/2. Most of our other 
products are already 100% translatable." 

The format of the files was already customizable in the "Preferences" 
section so if you have more than one child, you can have a separate 
folder for each child with his or her own copy of KidStuff with that 
individual child's name included in the programs. 

The company also announced the release of Plus Pak I which is an add-on 
and requires that KidStuff already be installed. 

The Plus Pak consists of four (4) modules: 

  1."Connect the Numbers" - a variation of the classic "connect-the-dots" 
drawings found in many children's books; 

  2."I'm Different" - this program displays four pictures, three of which 
are the same - one different in some way. The child must identify which 
picture is different and click on it. 

  3."I Can Draw" - a very simple free-form drawing package and 

  4."What Am I?" - As the computer displays a picture, the child must type 
in the word which describes the picture. 

     For very small children, a "cheat sheet" is supplied with the program. 
It contains the pictures with the proper spelling. 

In speaking with the developers, they had only one comment: We're 
having fun! 

KidStuff for OS/2 is featured on Aviar's webpage:
(http://www.oops-web.com/KS/KStuff.html) 
website is case-sensitive 

Aviar, Inc. was founded in 1983 by Dr. Urbaniak to provide top-quality PC 
software for commercial and industrial users. Aviar's OOPS! was first 
released more than 10 years ago and is still in use by companies 
around the world. In recent years, the company as placed most of its 
focus on development of speech-activated systems. KidStuff for OS/2 is 
the first of a new product line for Aviar.

I'd like to announce the release of ConfigEdit/2 v1.4.

The new version includes support for an external editor, 
customizable font for the internal editor, new improvements 
on the import facility, and lots more.

ConfigEdit/2 is a config.sys database manager which can 
auto-generate config.sys files from a database which can be 
either imported or created by hand. It can be used to hold 
multiple config.sys files and generate new ones. Also 
manages OS/2's recovery choices!

Warpstock, Inc. Elects New Officers,
Issues Warpstock 2000 challenge!  


Warpstock, Inc.  (Internet)
Contact: David Ameiss, Secretary (david@ameissnet.com)

Coming off "one of the most successful Warpstocks" ever, 
the Board of Directors of Warpstock, Inc., a non-profit 
company incorporated in North Carolina, USA, has gotten 
down to business and elected new officers.  
  
Paul Hethmon of Hethmon Brothers Software, a three time 
vendor at Warpstock and a member of the Warpstock Team from 
the very beginning, was elected President.  He replaces 
outgoing Board Member Larry Finkelstein.  

Warpstock 99's Web master Extraordinare, and the first 
international member of the Warpstock Inc. Board of 
Directors, Luc Van Bogaert was elected Vice President.  Luc 
was a key member of making Warpstock 99 the success that it 
was.  He replaces the beloved Judy McDermott, another 
outgoing Board member.  

David Ameiss, a university teacher of Computer Science, 
software developer, and two-time Warpstock presenter and 
volunteer, was elected to the position of Secretary, which 
was held last year by continuing Board member Tom Stevic.  

Stan Sidlov, the Event Chair for Warpstock 98, and a 
midrange developer and manager, was elected to the position 
of Treasurer, succeeding outgoing Board member Mark 
Abramowitz.  

In addition to the elected officers, John Ratti, Tom 
Stevic, and Jason Kowalczyk serve as directors-at-large.  
  
The Board of Directors wishes to extend its thanks and 
gratitude to outgoing Board members Larry Finkelstein, Judy 
McDermott, Mark Abramowitz, and Rollin White for their 
selfless contributions to Warpstock, Inc. during their 
tenure.  

The Board of Directors has set as its first order of 
business the completion of the Bid Form for Warpstock 2000.  
A challenge was issued to the Board to announce the winning 
bid on January 1, 2000.  So, start getting those sites and 
support groups lined up.  The formal announcement of the 
open bid will be made as soon as the Bid Form is finalized.  
Warpstock 2000 will be the best Warpstock yet!

As most of you probably know by now, Judge Jackson has declared
Microsoft a monopoly and has issued a document that, essentially,
supports the Department of Justice's contentions that MS abused its
power as a monopoly and engaged in anticompetitive practices.

ZD News has a special section devoted to Judge Jackson's decision in 
the DOJ vs MS trial. For all the related info, see:

   Smack! version 2.0 development on hold.

Perfect Niche Software, Inc., was eager to provide Smack! 2.0 beta for
demonstration at Warpstock 99, but due to the serious bugs discovered
in IBM's development environment, was unable to meet this goal.

Development of Smack! v. 2.0 for OS/2 has been put on hold until these
bugs in IBM's development environment have been fixed.

Several of our current Smack! customers have expressed that they are
"looking forward to v. 2.0 with great anticipation".  We regret that we
have had to take this step in the final development stage, but in order
to maintain our high standard of quality software,  Smack! v. 2.0 will
not be released until these standards are met.

Smack! has been described as a "must have" software tool. Visit
http://www.perfectniche.com/html/smindex.html for complete details.

Smack! v. 2.0 will be a FREE upgrade for current users of Smack! v. 1.0
and above.

Theta Band Software's Multimedia Pack for OS/2 is now available for ordering
through Mensys at http://www.mensys.nl . 

MMPack is a collection of utilities to enhance OS/2 multimedia, and contains
the following programs :

MMCheck
This is a utility that checks your MMPM/2 installation (i.e. 
MMPM2.INI) for errors or suspicious settings. If it finds any, it  will tell
you what they are, so that you can fix them. 

MPU-401 Driver
This is a replacement for IBM's MPU-401 driver, which is used to  MIDI support
for a number of sound cards, including sound cards that  use the Crystal
Semiconductor drivers. Enhancements over 
IBM's driver 
include :

                fixes for Warp 3 
                SMP compatibility 
                better hardware compatibility 
                DOS sharing 
                RTMIDI recording without an IRQ
                and more! 

NPDSMI 2.0

This is a plug-in for Netscape Navigator and Communicator for OS/2.  The
function of the DSMI plug-in is to play music module files  embedded on web
pages. Module files are 32 channel digital music and  are of tremendously high
quality. This new version 2.0 of the DSMI  Netscape plug-in supports
compressed zip module files.

More information about MMPack is available on our web site at

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.  

Somone is selling the very rare must-have book, "The Design of OS/2" by
Deitel and Kogan.

This week we have: American Heritage Dictionary; Corel Draw; Lotus Notes
Domino 4.6; IBM Personal Communcations AS/400; Ami Pro; HyperAccess; a big
collection of OS/2 utilities (UniMaint, GammaTech File Secure, Performance
Plus, Gammatech Utils, and GammaTech Power Pack); Object Desktop 1.5; Back
Again/2; and STI Twain scanner drivers.

For collectors we have an OS/2 lapel pin.

For programmers, we have: DevCons 10 and 11; Brief for OS/2 and DOS; Watcom
C/C++ 10.0; and C Set++ 2.1.  There are also a number of programming books
available.

On comp.os.os2.marketplace, we have: a collection (Unimaint, Gammatech
Utilities, FileSecure, Clear and Simple, Back Again 2, HyperAccess, SIO,
Twain Driver, and Object Desktop) and DeScribe 5.0.

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.

Partition Magic v5.0 is now supposedly available.

I contacted PowerQuest and have gotten verification  that v5.0 again
(as with v4.0) does not have an OS/2  executable, though it continues
to support HPFS  partitions. You will need to have DOS or WinXX 
installed to use this.

You can contact PowerQuest at magic@powerquest.com or at:

I've posted the #237 request to ask IBM to give us the same 
functionalities of VA Java on OS/2 as on NT.

Currently there is no support for JSP and EJP in VA Java OS/2 and
there is no plan for supporting Java 2.

If you are interested in developping Java programs on OS/2, please
vote for my request.


Note: you must register to Visual Age Developer Domain to access

PMStripper v1.23 has been released:

  http://www2.southwind.net/~dwhawk/ 

This PM utility strips HTML codes from Web pages, leaving only the
text and optionally the URLs. While the layout of tables and lists is
lost during stripping, data is sorted to separate lines for
legibility.

Install PMStripper as the HTML source viewer in WebX instead of the
OS/2 system editor E, and you can use the Ctrl+V keystroke
combination to load the web page source directectly into PMStripper.
This will make it easier to cut and paste information or URLs from
web pages. It can also be installed as the document source viewer in
Netscape. There are instructions for using PMStripper with Netscape
4.04 on my web page and included in the shareware distribution zip
file.

Registered users of PMStripper will have access to two additional
executable files that were compiled with the 486 and 586 compiler
options. These versions will offer some performance improvement for
users with 468 , Pentium, or equivalent CPUs. 

New in PMStripper 1.23

Added 'Hard code word wrap' menu item under "File" on the menubar.
This option adds CR-LF pairs to each line in the display window to
make the current word wrap permanent. This should make it easier to
print the stripped text.


PMStripper is shareware and costs $9.95 (US).

Registration covers all 1.xx releases of PMStripper. If you have
registered PMStripper and have not received an email notice of this
update, I need to update your email address in my mailing list. Send
me a message with the email address used with your original
registration and your new email address and I will update my mailing
list.

WarpNote v1.87 has been released. See the developer's web site at:

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

Product Description:

Tired of those yellow sticky notes that won't stick on your monitor?
Here come the 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.

WarpNote is 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.

New in this Release:

- Changed Background color of default font control in color settings
dialog.
- Fixed order of main windows which was changed by introducing
ControlCenter.
- Improved Print dialog.
- Introduced possibility to switch scroll bars on and of on each
note.
- Introduced workaround for PM not changing focus when Alt-F11 is
pressed. This caused notes list not being refreshed.
- "ControlCenter floats on top now functional. (Thanks to Lou)
- Rearranged a few things to improve startup speed and EXE size.

-------------------------------------------------------

This past week, two well-known audio hardware vendors, Creative Labs
and Aureal, made announcements that they will release the source code
to some of their device drivers. Several in the OS/2 community
suggested that these events would finally allow independent OS/2
driver developers to create audio device drivers for the hardware
from these two vendors.

As many of you know, Theta Band Software (http://www.thetaband.com/)
has been actively developing support for OS/2 multimedia. We recently
released the MM PACK, a collection of OS/2 software which includes an
audio device driver.

Theta Band Software would like to announce that we are investigating
the development of OS/2 device drivers based on the source code
provided by Creative Labs and Aureal. Several issues need to be
clarified before we can commit to development of these drivers, not
the least of which is the license and other legal restrictions under
which the source code is released. There may also be technical
reasons. We will make another announcement when we have enough
information.

In the meantime, there are two issues that need to be stressed.

First, Theta Band Software will not "port" the drivers to OS/2. If we
do look at the source code from CL and/or Aureal, it will only be to
determine how the hardware works. Any drivers we release for CL or
Aureal hardware will be written entirely from scratch, and therefore
we will retain all the copyrights to the code.

Second, Theta Band Software strongly feels that competing against
other OS/2 vendors is a losing proposition. The OS/2 marketplace is
too small for vendors to compete with similar applications. If we
learn that another individual is developing OS/2 drivers based on the
source code from Creative Labs or Aureal, we will cease development
of our drivers. There is no point in having two competing OS/2 device
drivers for a sound card. If you think that you can write a better
audio device driver, then by all means let us know and we won't waste
our time.

Theta Band Software has made this announcement to inform the OS/2
community of our intentions, and we hope that this announcement is
greeted with enthusiam and hopeful expectations. However, at this
time we have nothing more to say on this topic, so please don't email
us asking for more information.

Due to lack of updates on the official Project Odin page, we have
made The Unnoficial Page of Odin Project, mainly focused on
screenshots of programs that can be run with progressing versions of
Odin, but there is also an FAQ available.

Pages are in English and Polish:

  http://www.teamos2.org.pl/odin/ 

Screens are added every time there is something new coverted by
TeamOS/2 Poland users.


The Project Odin web page is:

  http://www.netlabs.org/odin/ 

Odin is the name of the project and software that allows users to run
Win32 (Windows 95 and Windows NT) applications in OS/2 Warp natively,
as if they were intended to be OS/2 applications in the first place.

Good news for people who listen to Module music:

1. I have created a new version of MikModPM, an OS/2 GUI Module
player that uses the MikMod library. 

2. I have ported the XMP Module player to OS/2 and there is a preview
version available that seems to be fairly stable on my machine. XMP
plays 47 different module types so now you can play nearly all the 
module files that were ever created!

3. The MikMod Library has been updated and an OS/2 build has been
created. If you are creating an OS/2 program that needs sound and
music then you should take a look at the MikMod Library.

These packages can be downloaded at:

On Sunday, November 7th someone announced that the first binary
releases of Odin were available. This is correct but we wanted to
wait with the announcement because the web page and the documentation
are still out of date.

So *please* do not yet start downloading Odin. We will announce it
officialy the next few days and the web page will be up to date too.

BTW: The OS/2 Netlabs update (Server) went well. Unfortunately CVS
seems not to work anymore on TCP/IP Stack 4.1 or higher. Because of
this CVS is not working at the moment. For sure we are working on the
problem and hope that CVS will be back online very soon.

Again, please wait with the Odin download.

This is a first preliminary announcement about a business
OS/2-conference in Mexico.

All OS/2-related presentations/contributions are welcome. 

We hope the conference will help promoting OS/2 in Mexico. The focus
of the conference will be on specific business solutions where OS/2
is absolutely the superior platform. 

In particular, the Managed Client Solutions will be a cornerstone
topic of the conference. 

We are very happy to announce that Serenity Systems is willing to
participate as both exhibitors and presentators, and to support us in
all important aspects of the event! 

The conference will take place in Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, a beautiful
resort on Mexican Pacific Coast, during approx one week of the next
spring or autumn (say May/June or September 2000). We would like to
avoid the high tourist season. 

We plan to publish the proceedings of the conference. We also plan to
organize some OS/2 mini-sessions in Mexico City, after the main
conference. 

If you feel enthusiastic about coming to Mexico and participating in
this warped event (any way you like) please feel free to tell us! We
would like to make a preliminary estimate of how many people would
come. 

We are in the process of negotiating the best pricings with the
hotels (if everything goes fine, do not expect to pay more than 90USD
per day in an excellent hotel, food included). 

For any questions, you can write either to me (micho@matem.unam.mx)
or Carlos de Luna (charly@mati.net.mx) from Mati
(http://www.mati.net.mx/) a Mexican ISP organization.

This is a follow-up message to:

  http://www.os2ss.com/warpcast/wc4376.html 

I will mainly concentrate on Lotus Word Pro and Lotus Organizer as
they are the two most requested applications for demonstration. If
time permits, we'll touch a bit on Freelance.

My normal routine for demonstrating Word Pro is do a rsum.

I can demonstrate close to 90% of features with this process. Some
people may ask how can you put frames and collumns in a rsum? Well,
come and find out! This will be a rsum lesson as much as a Word Pro
overview. So if your rsum needs work, bring it in it's native
format, as well as in ASCII format, and well use it as an example.

With regards to Lotus Organizer:
My hopes are to:
+ Basic features overview
+ Demonstrate importing and exporting Data
+ "Good Practices"
+ Mail Merge
+ Adding extra sections from other ORG files
+ Whatever comes to mind...   :)

See you there!

Ok - so it's been a few weeks since my site got an update - sorry
about that. What I was looking at took me a long time to research.

However, it has been updated now with information about how to keep
all your printer drivers at the same level on all your OS/2 PCs on
OS/2, NT or peer networks. Automatically.

You can see it at:

Thanks for all the positive comments.

I'm not sure this is the appropriate place to post 
this but, in the course of trying to figure out why 
OS/2 didn't recognize all the RAM installed on my 
Gigabyte GA-7IX motherboard, I learned somthing I 
think is relatively important to the OS/2 community.  
The answer, straight from the horse's mouth at 
Phoenix Tech is as follows:

================

OS/2 and Windows NT/9x use different BIOS calls to 
determine how much memory is available.  OS/2 uses 
INT 15h,AX=E801h while Windows uses INT 15h,AX=E820h.
 
Look here, http://www.ctyme.com/intr/int.htm 
<http://www.ctyme.com/intr/int.htm>  to see the 
details.

Award has had support for the E801 call since late in 
1995.  Recently, though, this support was made 
conditional on ACPI in order to pass an Intel 
"Component Validation Test".  In other words a BIOS 
with ACPI support could not have E801 support. Very 
recently (October), this code was refined to allow 
the E801 support to be included even if ACPI is 
supported.

=============

Thus, the GA-7IX (and many other new motherboards as 
well, I have learned) are essentially incompatible 
with an emerging hardware standard.  I think that we 
may need to find a way to "suggest" to IBM that they 
change the OS/2 boot memory detection algorithm soon 
to at least accomodate this emerging standard.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Does anyone have any more/definate information
on this problem?

I have just uploaded beta 3 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/ 

You can also find it at the MAMERun Homepage:

  http://home1.gte.net/stefanj/mamerun.htm

Whats New Beta 3:

* Hotlist now shows actual game names
* Added extra options for vector games
* Added option to play back recorded files
* Added support for windowed modes
* Added support for external commands
* Cleaned up the interface
* Removed the VPOBJ library
* No longer need the prebuilt mamerun.ini and 
defaultmamerun.ini
* Fixed misc. small bugs


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/ 

Requirements:

OS/2 
MAME for DOS (I used version .36 beta 8)
DOS Support installed
RexxUtil
joystick device driver ( for joystick support, download from hobbes
or DDPAK)
ROMs (DO NOT ASK ME FOR, OR WHERE TO GET ROMS!!)

RAR has been updated to 2.60, it is now a DOS-OS/2
application.  Both versions are blended into one using
EMX.  However, this does not have the text based GUI
anymore.  I guess that will be later implemented.
Anyway, it is now a command line application like PkZip
or Info-Zip.  Http://www.rarsoft.com
The link that the website gave in order to download was
broken when I tried it.  You can use their ftp site:
ftp://rarsoft.ti.sk/pub/rarx260.exe

EDITOR'S NOTE: I tried the above ftp address and was not able to connect.
I'm not sure if that's because the traffic was too high on the site, or
if the link itself was incorrect.

I just saw the announcement about Real.com and Take 5
(http://www.os2ss.com/warpcast/wc4406.html). It is suggested that
this makes it possible to port RealAudio to OS/2. This is
unfortunately not true. I had a look at real.com and Take 5, this
Software has nothing to do with the RealAudio codec and because of
this it does not support an OS/2 port of RA.

The best chance I see to get full RealAudio working on OS/2 is Odin,
the Win32 implementation for OS/2. As you may know the project is
doing very well but there is still a lot of stuff to do until we can
run applications like RealAudio.

We are still looking for some developers which are able to port
DirectSound to OS/2, I think there is more than 50% of DirectSound
functionality missing at the moment. And MIDI is not working at all.

So if you are skilled in MMPM and DART (and probably Win32)
programming, let us know, we need your help!

If you want to get more informations about Project Odin check:

Those who are interested in the latest versions of ConfigEdit/2 or
ServerConfig/2 can now download the beta versions from the web site:

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

Latest ConfigEdit/2 beta fixes a problem with multiple editors and
the Save function. Also code has been implimented to include support
for the ConfigMaint data base.

Suggestions and comments are appreciated.

ServerConfig/2 is a PM configuration util for Apache webserver, the
InetPowerServer/2 and the IBM TCP/IP Firewall with an easy to use PM
interface that allows you to do things by simple mouse clicks.

ConfigEdit/2 is a config.sys database manager which can auto-generate
config.sys files from a database which can be either imported or
created by hand. It can be used to hold multiple config.sys files and
generate new ones. Also manages OS/2's recovery choices!

A small executable allows users to update a Styler/2 version 1.0
installation.

This release features just a few fixes. You do not need to download
it if you do not experience any problems with the current one.

Styler/2 is an OS/2 application which enhances OS/2 Warp 3 and 4 PM
window aesthetics and functionality. Titlebars can use shades and
bitmaps as backgrounds with 3D effect text. Any bitmap can be used
for the standard window controls. Other features include window
rolling, titlebar hiding, sliding focus, mouse pointer hiding, mouse
double click emulation, etc.
