Announcing Pine 4.55
Hi all.
Pine 4.55 has been released and I've uploaded the OS/2 version to Hobbes.
It should appear in the usual places soon.
As for the other Pine 4.5x versions, I've also compiled an experimental
new port that contains the Uni of Washington mail servers, terminfo
support, SSL support (untested), etc. It is available from my web site at
http://www.zeta.org.au/~nps/software/pine/en/index.html
The new port seems to be fairly stable now but nonetheless it's still only
a beta quality release.

"OS/2 Server Transition" Redbook Residency
I noticed this on OS/2World's site. Its attributed to VOICE News but I
had never seen it before and certainly didn't send it out until now.
http://www.os2world.com/cgi-bin/news/viewnews.cgi?category=2&id=1050894309
Which points to an IBM URL:
http://publib-b.boulder.ibm.com/residents.nsf/c0d5c6f1588c774985256ad1005da419/65ce269ed1f83faf85256cf7005187f8?OpenDocument
"This redbook would provide guidance on how to plan for and implement a
successful transition to either a Linux or Microsoft platform."
"Residents will gain hands-on experience with technologies and tools that
will be used in migrating OS/2 servers to Linux and Microsoft platforms.
They will have direct contact with other experts and development
personnel during this residency. At the completion of this project,
residents will be positioned to offer their unique skills and provide
services and/or support to customers, partners and other IBMers requiring
assistance in migrating their OS/2 environments."
Tim's Warped Bargains: Dell Computer/Video Projector
Dell Small Business Software & Peripherals (http://www.dell.com) offers
the Dell 2100MP Projector for $999. Apply coupon code 4491A592C8BB at
checkout and you'll drop the price to $899.10. That's $100 less than the
last projector I mentioned.
This Dell projector has 1000 ANSI lumens and weighs just 4 pounds. It
does not have a zoom lens like the last projector I mentioned, but it does
accept HDTV input (for the occasional weekend football party), among other
choices. Resolution is SVGA (800x600). Great with WarpVision!
You can get a 3% Dell rebate if you visit http://www.fatcash.com then link
to Dell's web site from there. That's $872.13 after the cash back. (Dell
coupon code 3831D42F2E56 may also work for another 15% off, but it looks
like you have to buy a Dell PC to qualify for that.)
Be sure to check replacement bulb prices. Is the lack of zoom lens worth
the approximately $127 in savings (compared to my previously mentioned
bargain projector)? That's up to you.
Offer ends April 27, 2003. Obviously I have no affiliation with Dell.

Note: As always these are not officially supported by IBM unless they tell
you to use them. Please send any followup to comp.os.os2.bugs on
Usenet. Also note that files are only on IBM's testcase for 2-3 days, so
if you want to try these get them now. Make certain you back up any
files replaced and don't try these on a production system. Read any
readme file before applying any changes. If your system is working well,
and you have no problems addressed by these updates, do yourself a favour
and don't mess with this. You have been warned.
From the readme.txt acompanying these kernel files, changes since the last
testcase kernels(20030306 ):
20030415 14.093h
- LDRSTACKOPT back out. It caused too much confusion and I'm not
100%
sure about its stability. Sigh.
- Some enhancements to the ".pb" command in the dump formatter
eComStation 1.1 - Gold Baby!
http://www.os2ezine.com/20030416/page_2.html
There are some differences between what the author of the article saw
(the Gold track) and what went to manufacturing. The improved
multi-media installer arrived just in-time, and some additional NIC
drivers and auto-detection stuff got in too. But over-all, this article
reflects what you should be seeing when you get your copies of eComStation
1.1. In addition, the author didn't get to see CD #2 - that's where you
will find the sound driver stuff.
Enjoy.
