SW: Update: Innotek OS/2 Kit for Java 1.4.2_05 available.

14 Jul 2004 09:24:16 -0500


From: "Larry Lavins"

[Moderator's note: Regarding the post announcing the update of Innotek
OS/2 Kit for Java 1.4.2_05 on July 11, 2004. If you downloaded the update
the day it was announced, and are experiencing any problems, you should
download it again. ]

Major problem turned out to be the Java 1.4.2_05 release file which I
originally downloaded after seeing your announcement on the Voice
listserver. Achim advised me that this file was corrupted and had been
replaced. And that I should download the new file and install it over the
earlier installation. Achim also provided responses to all my other
concerns. FYI, the replacement file size is 17,858,937 bytes; and the
earlier corrupted file size was 17,819,462 bytes.

I downloaded the replacement file right away, and installed it over the
previous installation. Very fast, no problem. This solved most of my
previous concerns, etc. But there are still 2 or 3 remaining issues which
I'll send to Achim, and ask for his advice.

From: madodelDESPAM@os2voice.org

In case anyone is looking for past Warpstock presentation files, our web
master is working on getting more of these available. He is revamping
that part of the site, so some files which were there may be temporarily
unavailable, but the goal is to have all presentations available either as
HTML or downloadable as Lotus Freelance, PDF, StarImpress or Power Point
files. There is also the Warpstock 2003 video by Thorolf Godawa. This is
a 20 minute taste of what occurred last year in San Francisco. Its
available in MPEG, Real Media and AVI formats.

We will also again have links to the appropriate viewers for some of these
formats in the near future as well. So please bear with us. We will
announce what files are available as we bring them online. Currently just
the 2003 session material is back online. You can access these by

SW: FotoGet/2 Version 1.0.4

11 Jul 2004 15:40:49 -0500


From: Herwig Bauernfeind

This is the public release of FotoGet/2 Version 1.0.4, a freeware utility
to ease the transfer of your pictures from your digital camera to your
OS/2 (eComStation) desktop. The camera must be accessible from OS/2 by a
driveletter. As you might know already, this is not a device driver.

What is new in this release?
+ FotoGet/2 can be minimized while doing the transfer
+ When opening a subfolder from FotoGet/2, all objects are
rearranged automatically (i.e. no more overlapping
thumbnails when light tables are used).
+ A roughly estimated transfer speed is shown.

What was fixed or changed in this release?
! Choosing a subfolder that is not a child of
the base folder causes the basefolder to be
changed, too. A warning msg is now shown in
these cases. The old behaviour was odd, not
really a bug, the result however was probably
quite unexpected for the user.
! Turn on extended logging only if debug mode
is enabled.

Support is provided on YahooGroups.
Visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fotoget/ to check out!

Get FotoGet/2 from hobbes:

Hobbes Incoming: < http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/fotoget104.wpi >

A big thanks to everybody, who reported bugs and helped me!

Have fun,
