REXX Tips ~Tricks v3.20 released
From: Bernd Schemmer
I uploaded the new version 3.2 of "REXX Tips ~Tricks" to hobbes. You

and much more.
If you have any comments, suggestions or corrections for REXX Tips ~ Tricks please

Caution: To read this file you need either OS/2 or an INF Viewer for your operating
system! A possible view program for Windows 3.1 and newer versions is oview.exe

You only need the files ipf.dll libipfx.dll oview.exe from the file ov_demo.zip

the demo - but I don't know how (I'm not so familar with Windows).

Mozilla 0.9.3 Released
From: Michael Kaply
The URL is: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla0.9.3/mozilla-i386-pcos2-vacpp-0.9.3.zip
This build is fully optimized.
The major change on the OS/2 side is some new font code from Javier Pedemonte
that should make display a lot more consistent.
We also have the beginnings of support for UTF-8. Make sure you set your Unicode
font to Times New Roman MT 30 in preferences if you want to use it.
We've added the ability to change font DPI in preferences. You can experiment
with this to see what it does. Note it changes the UI font as well.
The crash when the browser checks your mail after 5 minutes is fixed - it was
an optimizer bug, so we just didn't optimize the file in question.
Some PNGs are not working, so be aware of that.
As far as other news goes, the reason there have been no semi-nightly/weekly
builds is because we have been waiting for an optimization fix from the VACPP folks.
Without this fix, optimized builds crash on startup. We got that fix, and hope to
resume builds soon.
We are still working on the random tinderbox problems. If you want to see the
OS/2 tinderbox, it is on MozillaTest for now.
The next build we will deliver will probably be a 0.9.2.1 build so you can compare
it to Netscape 6.1 when it is released.
Thanks for your support.
