Preprocessor for OS/2 helpfiles
This package allows you to easily create powerful OS/2 INF files with only
a handfull of commands instead of the complex set of IPF commands. Unlike
other packages, HyperText/2 cannot produce Win help files or HTML files,
but it is freeware (also unlike other tools) :-)

Netscape 6.2.1 equivalent
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla0.9.4.1/mozilla-os2-0.9.4.1.zip
This is an OS/2 version of the base for Netscape 6.2.1.
If you want to run a pretty stable build, this is it.
Please report bugs through bugzilla, but also test them on nightlies to
see if they are fixed.
I'm mainly looking for OS/2 specific bugs in this build (works on Windows
6.2.1, doesn't work on OS/2)
Thanks

autonic
At boot time detect PCI Network card and autoload it's driver
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/autonic.zip
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?key=autonic.zip
readme:
in config sys insert a line like this
device=x:\autonic.sys x = boot drive
replace the line of your nic card by this one
device=x:\ibmcom\macs\auto.os2 x = boot drive
on your hardisk or cdrom create directories d:\mptn\auto\xxxx.yyyy where
xxxx = pci vendor id and yyyy = pci device id into the directory xxxx.yyyy
copy protocol.ini and driver zzzz.os2 for the card
copy pcisnif.exe to x:\os2 x = boot drive
what do autonic.sys
===================
at boot time autnic during the init phase DosExecPgm a program called
snifpci.exe yes you can start a program from a device driver at boot time
because during init phase of your device driver you are at ring 3 the only
problem is that your program must be a 16 bits OS/2 program (no problem
with watcom 11C)
The program snifpci scan the pci env using the OEMHLP$ driver so put the
driver autonic.sys after the load of the OEMHLP$ driver.
When snifpci found a vendor id,device id it looks at x:\ibmcom\auto\ for a
directory matching.
If matching it copies the x:\ibmcom\auto\xxxx.yyyy\*.ini to
x:\ibmcom\protocol.ini and x:\ibmcom\xxxx.yyyy\*.os to
x:\ibmcom\macs\auto.os2
x:\ibmcom\8086.7200\protocol.ini
x:\ibmcom\8086.7200\ibmfe.os2
x:\ibmcom\8086.7300\protocol.ini
x:\ibmcom\8086.7300\ibmcndis.os2
etc...
TODO:
1. When booting from cdrom not copy the driver and protocol.ini to the
bootdrive (it is in read only) but put it on the ram disk Easy to do
because we must just change a 16 bit ring 3 program
2. When no match read the directory \ibmcom\macs\*.nif display the text
string for all the card available in the directory and let the user choose
the card

FtpServer version 0.92 released
A new version of FtpServer is out now. You can get it from http://eepjm.newcastle.edu.au/os2/FtpServer.html or from ftp://eepjm.newcastle.edu.au/software/ftpser092.zip The main new feature is that this version supports working from behind a
firewall.
LIST OF CHANGES Peter WeirdX 1.3.1 released JCraft INC has released WeirdX 1.3.1 WeirdX is an X Window System server in pure Java under GNU GPL. It is
implemented with JDK 1.1 & Swing 1.1 APIs, so it will run on several
platforms. WeirdX handles X window protocol directly, so any proxy
programs are not needed on X client side. SIO2K Version 2.02 Version 2.02 of SIO2K is now available from downloading from http://www.gwinn.com A list of corrections and additions is below. The combination of a SMsC SuperIO chip on an SMP system could cause a
lockup when a port is opened. This problem has been corrected. SuperIO and UltraIO are motherboard chip sets with serial ports, often
with the capability for extented bit rates. Added support for the following SMsC SuperIO and UltraIO chips with bit
rates up to 460800: FDC37N971, FDC37N972, FDC37M70x, FDC37M81x, FDC37N958,
FDC37N769, FDC37N3869, LPC47N227, LPC47N252, LPC47N267, LPC47M192,
LPC47M14x, LPC47M10x, LPC47S45x, FDC37C67x, FDC37M70x, FDC37B72x, and
FDC37B77x. Added support for up to 921600 bps for the following Winbond SuperIO
chips: W83977EF and W83977TF. YOU MUST add "SuperIO", without the quote marks, to the uart.sys command
line to enable the higher bit rates on your computer. A problem was corrected in sio2k.sys that could cause a trap when exiting
from PMLM. Ray Gwinn OS/2 Christmas e-cards for FREE! On OS/2.cz, you can find some Christmas OS/2 e-cards and PF s for the next

his full featured Inet server package InetPowerServer (IPS). This new
version of IPS has a number of great performance enhancement in the web
server component including a dynamic memory document cache. A new problem
tracking solution is also in place which automatically logs more
information in case it should fail and you need to report a bug. For a
full list of changes, check Appendix A in the IPS documentation available
from the IPS site. InetPowerServer will help you provide efficient and stable Inet services
for e-mail, file transfers and web contents. IPS provides a common
security setup for multiple services, an advanced virtual file system and
flexible multi hosting or even multiple site personalities. Many of the
recent extensions to the supported protocols (FTP, HTTP, POP3 and SMTP)
are also implemented in IPS making it one of the most feature complete
Inet serving packages around for any platform. The IPS Beta Team is still open for anyone to join as long as they have a
Yahoo ID! (for access to additional features) and have time to test and
report back on most closed releases done within the IPS Beta Team.
Inactive users will however be automatically removed from the IPS Beta
Team after a while. Join the IPS Beta Team from the
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/IPS-beta page. Work has begun developing an IMAP component for inclusion into the IPS
product to further enhance the e-mail features available to your clients.
There is no fixed date for completion of this new component yet, but it
will first reach the users of the IPS Beta Team before a public version
with IMAP support will be made available. The official IPS site can be found at http://www.InetPowerServer.com/ from
where you can download the latest available version at any time. IPS is
high quality software offered to you for free! InProTrack 1.20 released Kai Evers has updated InProTrack to Version 1.20 'InProTrack' is short for 'Installed Product Tracker'. The program
retrieves the current installed components from syslevel and other system
config files and shows the results in a nice looking PM dialog. You can
choose between various speed options. Fastest mode is really fast and
won't let you have time to do other things while you wait (because you
won't have to ;->). Furthermore you can view single SYSLEVEL files. The following data is shown: All syslevel and gtlevel informations,
revision OS (FixPaks), 'real' OS version, additional OS informations
