GNOME fonts press release

Can these fonts be adapted for use with OS/2? Note the press release says they can be "sold with any software...." I suppose that includes eCS.

Open Watcom 1.0 RC1 is ready!

Hi Guys,

I just started the upload process for uploading the Open Watcom 1.0 RC1 release. It will take an hour or so probably to get completely uploaded, so in about an hour you should be able to download the RC1 binary files from the web and ftp sites. The web site has been updated with the information about the release, as well as updated download links (although they won't work till the files show up ;-).

I tested it with all my code here and it worked great (especially Michael Devore's new CWHELP.EXE updates!). So please download it, test it and let us know what you think. If there are no major problems with this release, we will make it golden and rename the RC1 build to make it the final release.

Also for this release we merged the C/C++ and FORTRAN compilers into a single download package. There was just too much duplication of effort in the installers to maintain them separately, and the FORTRAN guys need most of the C compiler stuff anyway. I am unable to test the FORTRAN compilers, so someone else who does FORTRAN programming will have to test this.

Also feel free to post this information everywhere on the net to increase the awareness of this compiler.

NOTE: We have released the new Windows and OS/2 binary installers under a slightly modified license and have retained all rights to the installer source code and script files (not the ZIP files, core source code or manifests etc). We have placed the restriction on the installers specifically such that others wishing to re-distirbute the installers will need to first get written permission from SciTech. This is primarily done such that we can control how the product is advertised for download on other web site and how it is distributed on CD-ROM etc. It is doubtful we would refuse permission to anyone or any company, but when we give permission we will require specific guidelines to be followed such as proper links on their site to the official Open Watcom web sit as well as the Open Watcom donations page (for web sites offering free downloads of the installers).

Thanks!

SRE2003: An Internet Interface for OS/2

SRE2003 is an Internet Interface for OS/2. More precisely, SRE2003 provides a set of functions and capabilties that allow you to implement a web server through a "filter" program that is written in REXX. In addition to a fairly simple filter included with SRE2003, several filter programs are publically available (such as SREhttp/2) - or you can write your own! Upgrader note: SRE2003 is modeled after the GoSERVE Internet Server.

WarpZip and Data Shield updates

**************************************
WARPZIP LITE

A couple of people have nudged me into action on an application I had started some time ago and, at the time, didn't feel it met a need. I have brushed it up a bit and am releasing it as an additional application to WarpZip and the PillarSoft Suite.

"WarpZip Lite" offers a lightweight way to extract zip files while working on your desktop. It becomes an "Open as..." menu selection for zip files objects and allows the user to extract the archive to any selected (or created) directory. Currently, WarpZip Lite works only on ZIP archives as the basis for this program was done before WarpZip had support for other archivers.

Using WarpZip Lite is as easy as right clicking any zip file icon (object) and selecting "WarpZip Lite" from the "Open as" menu. Once the window opens, users may make their target directory selection and press the "Extract" button to unzip the archive and optionally, open the folder where it was unzipped.

Users may create directories or let WarpZip Lite create directories based on the archive name. After a directory is created, WarpZip Lite will extract the archive and (optionally) open the destination directory folder on the desktop after the extraction.

The user may also elect to use the "Quick Extract" selection. Quick Extract will automatically find the system TMP or TEMP directory and create a subdirectory based on the first eight chars of the archive filename. After the directory is created, the archive is extracted into it and (optionally) the directory folder is opened on the desktop.

WarpZip Lite is only available to registered users of WarpZip or the PillarSoft Suite.

**************************************
DATA SHIELD

Data Shield has also been updated to be able to do secure cleanups on Mozilla installations.

Data Shield is a secure deletion program that removes sensitive information from a hard drive. Normally, deleting a file only marks the file as deleted on your drive but the data remains and may still be recovered. Data Shield will obliterate it so that data may not be recovered by overwriting it x number of times or according to Department of Defense specification.

It has options to do a standard or secure delete on:

 Individual files
 File listings
 Contents of a directory
 A directory tree
 Complete drives
 Freespace on a given drive
 TMP, TEMP or DELETE directories
 Netscape/Mozilla browser cache
 Netscape/Mozilla history and drop down history list
 Mozilla download database

Data Shield will automatically find standard installations of Netscape 2.02, 4.04, 4.61 or 6.0 and Mozilla while offering to clean any part of it according to the versions need.

In this version we have included the routines to securely overwrite and clean entries for Mozilla as well as a few changes in file deletion routines to increase effectiveness.

If you have sensitive data on a drive (financial records or client lists for example) never give away or sell the drive without cleaning it thoroughly.

**************************************

There is no charge for these updates.

Data Shield is not for sale separately but is available as part of the PillarSoft Suite which has been updated to contain both of these programs plus 13 more OS/2 and eCS specific programs for only $99.

WarpZip Lite is available as part of WarpZip or the PillarSoft Suite. WarpZip is $29 and is available through BMT Micro, Mensys and others. Take a peek at our website for more information on WarpZip, Data Shield and the PillarSoft Suite.

Contacts Viewer 2.1

Contacts Viewer is a freeware program that lets you search and view data from TAB-delimited ASCII-files. The original 1.x versions were made for OS/2 users who also use a Psion PDA. The program made it possible to access the Contacts data from the OS/2 desktop. Of course version 2.xx is still up to this task, but it can also be used to view data from other sources (i.e. files exported databases, spreadsheets and more). Contacts Viewer works directly with the ASCII-file. It's not a database and there is no need to import data into the program. It's a viewer, which means you can not use this program to edit, delete or add new records. Contacts Viewer only reads information from the harddisk. It *never* writes anything to your disk. The program interface was made with good old VisPro Rexx 2.1 that was released in the mid 90's of the previous century. I still think it's brilliant!

Contacts Viewer 2.01 can be downloaded from the 'useful utilities' page on my 'Psion to OS/2 Connection' website at http://os2.mensys.nl/psion

ListBuilder 2.01

ListBuiler is a utility for those who work with sets of (structured) data in ASCII (plain text) format. For instance: data exported from a database, spreadsheet, wordprocessor or data that is used on an other platform like a Personal Digital Assistants. These are the kind of files that will have one record on each line, where each line has several fields (delimited by comma, TAB or with a fixed lengt for each field). With ListBuilder you can:

- substract selected fields (create a new list) from the source file and write this information to a new file;
- create a new list with the same information but with a changed sequence of information (fields) in each record;
- convert comma delimited files to TAB delimited files or Lotus WordPro mailmerge files;
- convert a file that has fixed field length, without delimiters between the fields, to a comma or TAB-delimited file. This will also remove any trailing spaces form each field;
- write a new file with records that are selected on the content of one particular field (operators supported are 'equal' and 'not equal' to a user supplied text;
- Combine data from different sources into a new file (data from the second file will be appended to an existing file if you enter the name of an existing file for the output file. If no such file exits, a new file will be created;
- save list definitons for future use.

With the available set of features ListBuilder can be used instead of several dedicated filters written in REXX or any other language. ListBuilder was developed in support of Contacts Viewer, but it can be used for many other purposes.

ListBuilder 2.01 can be downloaded from the 'useful utilities' page on my 'Psion to OS/2 Connection' website at http://os2.mensys.nl/psion

WPSWizard 0.3

Chris Wohlgemuth has released the WPS Wizard 0.3

WPS-Wizard is an addon for the WPS which gives you freely configurable context menus for all filesystem objects. You may have different extended menus for different classes. For example iconfiles may have other menu extension than audiofiles.

A REXX interface gives access to the WPS from user scripts. REXX callbacks may be used to add features to WPS objects similar to subclassing an object. New with V0.3.0 are toolbars for folders and object hints, both created using the new REXX callbacks. You may customize these features for different classes and even single objects. This means attach a REXX script to an object to perform special actions when requesting a menu or opening a folder. This way you may for example have different toolbars for different folders.

Features

* Custom menus for folders and files.
* Additional menu items for any filesystem class possible.
* Configuration using configuration folders and drag and drop.
* Predefined templates for menu items.
* Submenus and unlimited number of menu items.
* Show filesize in the context menu.
* Remove format item from context menus of harddrives.
* Small in size.
* Simple programming interface for use by other WPS classes. See source of CWFolder class for info.
* REXX interface to the WPS.
* Save position of scrollbars in details view.
* Save position of splitbar in details view.
* REXX callbacks for important WPS methods. 'Subclass' objects using REXX. New with V0.3.0
* Object hints. New with V0.3.0
* Folder toolbars. New with V0.3.0
