New version of JUne is released. The package includes JFS Recover and JFS
Unerase tools based on JRescuer technology.

What's new:
* Filter to simplify search of necessary files
* Icons showing type of file
* JUne is NLS Ready! We thank our attentive and devoted translators:
Jan-Erik L rka (svenska), Guillaume Gay (french), Alfredo Fern ndez D az,
Delfi Reinoso (espanol), Allan Holm (danish), Christian Hennecke (deutch).

Did you know? There`s no point in setting less than 20 Mb for JFS cache.

SW: KeyRing/2 going freeware!

28 Jun 2005 22:30:44


++ From the VOICE OS/2-eComStation News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: Kevin McCoy


KeyRing/2, the secure password keeper for OS/2 Warp and eCS is now
FREEWARE!

Feel free to download the full product and request an encryption module -
Completely Free!

Due to encryption product export restrictions, you still need to request
an Encryption Module. The program and encryption module is free to anyone
living in a non terrorist-supporting country.

Our web site for downloading the program and requesting an encryption
module can be found at:

http://www.idk-inc.com/kr2index.htm

Please be patient while waiting for your encryption module to arrive. We
have minimal staff handling fulfillment (me!).

IDK, Inc. is looking for someone to take over development of this
product. Send an email to kr2devDESPAM@DESPAMdk-inc.com if you are an
OS/2 software developer and are interested in making this an open source
freeware product. I really want to see this program live on, but I am way
too busy to support it properly with new development.

KR/2 is written in VxREXX (GUI) and Virtual Pascal/2 (encryption and
database). The Virtual Pascal/2 compiler is freeware and available on
line. The Watcom VxREXX compiler is defunct, but may still be available.

The product has no known bugs, but could use a few new features and
upgrades.

Note: In January 2006, We will be taking down the KeyRing/2 web site page
and will not be sending out any further encryption modules (registration
keys). Someone needs to take over servicing this product before then!

We will continue to handle customer support until 1-1-2006 on YahooGroups
and via private email. There is a link to the YahooGroups KR/2 mailing
list subscription on the web site mentioned above.

After 1-1-2006 we will discontinue support, other than assisting open
source developers.

We'd like to thank our loyal customers for their support over the years!

Sincerely,

Kevin McCoy
President,
IDK, Inc.

"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 operating
system natively, almost as if they were intended to be OS/2 applications
in the first place. It also makes porting from Win32 to OS/2 easier by
providing a Win32 API implementation in OS/2: the Odin32 API."

Report successes and problems if any on the Netlab's Odin user support

SW: Request for testers with USB Scanners

26 Jun 2005 09:07:15


++ From the VOICE OS/2-eComStation News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: Paul Smedley


Hi All,
I've started work to make Sane work with USB Scanners on OS/2 using the
usbcalls package by Markus Montkowski available from Netlabs.

As a precursor, I've compiled sane-find-scanner.exe which correctly
identified the scanner on my machine.

I'd appreciate it if testers with a USB scanner would download
http://smedley.info/sane-find-scanner.zip and send me the report from
running:

sane-find-scanner -v

Note that this may require a newer version of usbresmg.sys than eCS 1.2
ships with. I had system traps with gPhoto2.

If traps in os2krnl are experienced with this build, please update
usbresmg.sys using the package at http://smedley.info/usbresmg.zip

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

NOTE: this will not scan - all it will do is detect (hopefully!) a USB
scanner attached to your PC.

Cheers,

Paul.
