Warpstock would like your feedback on our plans for Warpstock 2002 and
beyond. We have created a short survey concerning the location for
Warpstock 2002 at http://warpstock.os2voice.org/Surveys/WS2002.html
One of the issues being addressed is the 2002 event site. We are
currently considering Austin Texas and want to know what you think. No
registration is required to make your feelings known so please help us in
determining the future of Warpstock.
Also we invite everyone interested in the future of Warpstock to join us
in open and hopefully productive discourse on the Warpstock Public
Discussion list - http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/warpstock-public. In
addition, all the session presentation files from Warpstock 2001 have been
placed in the file download section here for member download.
Warpstock, Inc., is a North Carolina non-profit corporation. The Warpstock
annual conference is a gathering of OS/2 users, developers, and vendors

AiR-BOOT - v0.25b Released
Finally, I got it released. As a so-called
"Have-A-Happy-New-Year"-Release.
Please have a look at the fixes *first*. This version has hidden
partitions pre-support. Download it from: http://kiewitz.ath.cx/air-boot/
Have fun with it.
And like everytime: Please do not upload this beta to any public
FTP/HTTP/whatever servers. Thanx.
If you got 0.23b/0.24b installed on your system, just make a new AiR-BOOT
INSTALL disc and boot from it. You should get prompted, that you may
update your copy of AiR-BOOT. Configuration will remain intact.
Fixes this time:
- Second Open-Public Beta Version (BUGFIXED!)
- EZ-SETUP Detection (will not install on such systems)
- Scrolling in Bootmenu now possible (more than 14 bootable partitions)
- Floppy: Get VolumeLabel and the Every-2-Seconds-Get Option are now
functional.
- AIRBSET may be executed from the floppy, where it will write to.
previously this resulted into an error-message and a damaged disc
- Delay for entering Setup got expanded
Fixes in this 0.24b bugfix-release:
- Booting, when "Include Floppy" was deactivated resulted in booting the
FOLLOWING partition, not the one that was selected. I didn't check
this
option to be working, after I redid the boot-menu.
- Systems >15 partitions do not get save error anymore
- Installer accepts upper-case input
- Hiding Partitions Pre-Support.
Will unhide *ANY* hidden partition on every boot
THIS MEANS:
=DO NOT INSTALL TO SYSTEMS THAT RELY ON HAVING HIDDEN PARTITIONS=
Release-Version: 0.25b
btw. 0.26b will have Partition Setup and Hide Partitions-Feature
implemented. Hopefully 0.27b will have "FDISK"-like util.

WarpLog ver. 0.99 released
I've just uploaded a new version of my journal/diary program, WarpLog.
There have been a few bugs squashed in this release along with the
addition of a few minor features:
+ Fixed a problem with loading the RexxUtil libraries
+ Fixed a bug in searches that span more than one year.
+ fixed several minor date handling routines (days of week should be
correct now). This only affected the interface and not the storage of
data.
+ fixed a leap year bug in the date selection display routine. Again,
this did no harm to the data storage.
+ Added a few double-click shortcuts to functions (eg. add/edit from
the date selection list).
+ Added limited font selection support (found under "settings").
+ Added window settings to automatically store the position of the
program and it's various windows .
WarpLog is free software licensed under the GPL.
