Update: Open Watcom 1.2 RC1 released - Windows installer only
This is the Windows-installer version! People should know before they
start a 66 meg download - it is said that there still are some folks
without cable modem and flat rate ... ;-)
It may be installed using Odin, but - of course - the installation doesn't
generate desktop objects, nor does it generate setvars.cmd (although
setvars.bat maybe easily adapted)
Besides this, the OS/2 C compiler and linker work.
Scitech SNAP Graphics v2.3.0 (build 420) released
. The Watcom Runtime Library is now used for all core BPD code, as well
as any new or updated chipset drivers.
. Improved MultiHead support - DDC detection is now done for all heads,
and monitor records are created for each. GAMon can now manage the
monitor records for multiple heads as well (requires drivers to be
updated before this part works properly).
. DDC monitor detection is now working correctly on the S3 ProSavage
graphics chipsets.
. Added zooming support for the Trident 3DImage 975 and 3DImage 985
chipsets. Also removed some broken text modes on the 3DImage 985.
. Added full acceleration for the VIA PN133 (S3 Twister) chipset.
. Added support for the VIA Eden and AMD Geode processors.
. The MultiHead "Center Windows on Head" option now ignores listboxes.
. Integrated latest versions (C.098) of IBM GRADD components. This
fixes some APM suspend/resume problems.

4os2 3.04e released
Soon after I completed 3.04d, I found a problem with fancy batch files -
IFF/ELSE statements seemed to behave in a strange way. Problem fixed now,
although I'm a bit surprised that no one noticed earlier.
Available at ftp://ftp.scitechsoft.com/devel/beta/4os2304e.zip Please
let me know of any problems.

C and C++ should be pretty stable, hopefully better than 1.1. State of
F77 support is unknown.

CHANGES:
Bugfix: Broken message redirection to folders without the '*' wildcard.

the WordSeparators setting can be used to define subject line
characters that RexxMail will interpret as spaces.

FotoGet/2 Version 0.9.14
FotoGet/2 is intended to be a freeware utility to ease the transfer of
pictures between a digital camera and your OS/2 (eCS) PC.
The camera must be accessible from OS/2 by a driveletter.
Note: This is not a device driver.
Usage is (and should be) obvious and easy.
There are no switches (yet), no options or whatever, that are not visible
on the main window.
FotoGet/2 makes use of the WPS. It optionally creates light tables
instead of folders and optionally creates shadows of subfolders on the
desktop.
This is the third public release and should be considered a public beta.
It fixes a some minor bugs and has a new option to leave the pictures on
the camera.
Thanks for everybody, who reported bugs

SmartBackup 1.01 update
I have released SmartBackup 1.01 as a minor update to correct the
following issues:
* Fixed crash when input directory had a \ as the last character (such as
C:\).
Users can avoid this crash in 1.0 by not including the \ (ie. use C:
instead of
C:\ if you are backing up the entire C drive).
* Increased width of SmartBackup PM window - some users reported clipped
text in
1.0.
* Options in SmartBackup PM window now reflect default settings in
configuration
file.
Nothing else has changed in this release.
SmartBackup 1.01 can be downloaded in simple Zip form or as a WarpIn
self-installer from:

Some of you may have noticed that we're now into twice-daily builds as the
feature requests keep coming in. So who said OS/2 was dead, eh?
NEW additions/changes:
- Changed Install.CMD so it can create a main dir more than one level
deep from an existing dir.

or without a destination folder. Command(s)/destinations are separated
by ampersands (&).

the server when collecting mail.

to normal.

DRIVE200
DRIVE200.ZIP is a little freeware PM applet that quickly showns the amount
of space available on every hard disk in your OS/2 system.
This is a very old applet that has now been refreshed to cope with large
drives and reserved drive letters.
The upgrade was done because this little tool is just too handy to ignore.
The applet is available now on ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming, and
later in ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/utils/drive
Warpstock Shirts still available
Just a reminder we have some white 2002 and blue, green and red 2003
shirts in limited quantities and limited sizes (Check the web site for
availability). The shirts are very well made, and I wear mine just about
every day (I have quite a few now :-).
These could make great presents for the holidays for a dedicated OS/2-eCS
user. I liked them so much I bought a blue and a green one in San
Francisco. The red ones were not sold at the Warpstock event itself as
these are reserved for the event team and the board. So this is a chance
to get something that very few people have and there are very few of these
left.
If you are interested please check out our secure shopping web site:
http://bamart.com/Store.asp?m=Warpstockinc&n=10&k=106652&s=Merchandise
Thanks for supporting Warpstock.

Master of the Empire Released for FREE I'm releasing MOTE free to the OS/2 community. Its a commerical game
released in 1999 and its held up well over the last 5 years. Its a
strategy game (similar to Empire and Warlords 3) with a closed economy and
a resource market. You can play against up 3 computer opponents. The
game maps are randomnly generated, so you get a fresh game everytime.
Units include tanks, infantry, fighters, battleships and others. You can
download the OS/2 version from http://www.masterempire.com. [Moderator note: I reviewed this game back in 1998 - http://www.os2voice.org/VNL/past_issues/VNL1298H/vnewsf9.htm It was a
bargain then at $25.] 4OS2 3.04d released " These command line tools give you a new command prompt that you can use
every day -- for everything from launching applications to serious file
management and scripting." I have uploaded 4OS2 3.04d today, it can be found here: ftp://ftp.scitechsoft.com/devel/beta/4os2304d.zip The biggest changes are improved DBCS support and an obscure fix for FAT32
short/long filename handling, both contributed by KO Myung-Hun. The major difference from 4OS2 4.00A is, as far as I can tell, that 3.04d
actually works pretty well. Feel free to report bugs here, or directly to
me. Contributions are welcome too. NEPTUNE3.INF - 2 000 perfect skins for PM123 ! NEPTUNE3.INF version 1.45 is an English hypertext file in the native INF

OS/2 Warp 4 fixpack 13 or later. Users may download either a standard
Zip file or a self-installing WarpIn archive from: http://freiheit.syntheticdimension.net/ecomstation-apps.php SmartBackup takes the time and guess work out of backing up large drives
or directories to CD, DVD or other low-capacity media. It supports smart
disc spanning to safely store all of your files while minimizing the
number of discs needed. SmartBackup is written entirely in Rexx and sports an optional PM
graphical user interface. SmartBackup is currently free for all use,
however if you wish to promote future development, you are asked to make
a small donation. SmartBackup is extensible through simple Rexx scripts. I have included
three such "post-processing" scripts in the distribution along with a
skeleton (framework) for users to create their own scripts. Included
scripts are: * pp_checksize - verifies that backup projects will fit the
capacity
of the user's discs. DECalc 3.41 - minor update DECalc 3.41 has been released to correct 2 minor issues. * The constant for Pi was set to 22/7 (correct) but Rexx seems to
mis-calculate this. I have set the constant to 3.14159265359. Users of
previous versions can make this same change by editing the DECalc.INI
file with an INI file editor. * Corrected the copyright notice on the About dialog and removed reference
to non-existent readme.txt. DECalc is a donation-ware OS/2 and eComStation PM-based calculator with
many advanced features. DECalc 3.41 can be downloaded from: http://freiheit.syntheticdimension.net/ecomstation-apps.php MR/2 ICE 2.41 has been released Web site: http://mr2ice.com/mr2ice.htm "MR/2 ICE is a feature-packed Internet EMail client. Both POP3 and SMTP
are fully supported. Configurability is taken to an extreme. MR/2 ICE lets
the user select from many options, including optional pieces of the user
interface. You'll find things like toolbars and status bars configurable,
even to the point of hiding them." MR/2 ICE version 2.41 has been released, and is available at: http://mr2ice.secant.com/nick/mr2i241.zip Changes in v2.41: * UTF-7 and UTF-8 Decoding in header literals. I'll add encoding
for outgoing UTF-* next. * Filtering on "address book match" using $@ tweaked again. Better
token-specific matching. * Filter disposition form text fixed in OS/2 version. RexxMail build 20031130.132628 released.

eCS-OS/2. I do get tired of the (thankfully moderated down) postings
about OS/2's irrelevence but at least there is a presence.
