More on Windows-free PCs
In Germany we have a bunch of computer stores called 'Atelco' all over the
country.
Since their appearance around 4 years ago they never sold PCs with any
operating system at all (usually their complete PC systems were mere
compositions of separate parts only).
Of course they sell Wintendo stuff as OEM, too, but almost never in a
bundle with hardware.
I must admit that for a store like Walmart (they're in Germany, too) this
is something one should mention, but German users have had that choice for
years (if they knew about Atelco, that is).
I buy most of my parts there, and the stuff they sell is even mostly
compatible with OS/2 (at least to some extent).

Normalize 0.7.2
Normalize 0.7.2, a textmode program to adjust the volume of several wav
or mp3 files to the same level. Long Description: Normalize is an overly
complicated tool for adjusting the volume of wave files to a standard
level. This is useful for things like creating mixed CD's and mp3
collections, where different recording levels on different albums can
cause the volume to vary greatly from song to song. (Can now adjust mp3
files).

Finally! A way for OS/2 users to avoid the "Microsoft tax" on new

osFree source release RESOURCE.SYS via John Martin Alfredsson jma@jma.se CLP(R) Constraint programming for OS/2 Constraint programming is a powerful technique which has made greate
strides over the past 10 years. One of the classic implementations is
CLP(R) which can solve simultaneous equations/relations in the Real domain
and solve general constraint problems in the tree domain (symbols and
terms). I have just built CLP(R) from the distribution sources using GCC, EMX and
the makefile for OS/2 supplied in the distribution. It is simple to
build and works great on OS/2. The distribution is freely available for
personal and experimental use, from the author: Joxan Jaffar,
joxan@comp.nus.edu.sg From: Gregory Bourassa bourassa@magma.ca Calmira 3.25 Win-OS/2 Shell Calmira, The Win9x look and feel shell for Win 3.1 has been updated to
Version 3.25. This app works well with Win-OS/2 Full Screen sessions. Copy
the downloaded files to your Win-OS/2 directory and change the shell=
statement in system.ini to calmira.exe and enjoy! When used with
nice35t.zip, available on hobbes. You get 3D controls as well as the close
button in each window. MMIO Vorbis 0.2 Russell O'Connor has updated the MMIOVorbis Codec to 0.2 MMIOVorbis is an MMIOProc for OS/2 that allows OS/2ÿs multimedia system to
play Ogg Vorbis files. Changes from 0.1.1 to 0.2 (2002-02-14) Skips errors in OGG files instead of halting.

OS/2 users that my project homepage was updated on the new location. New dragtext beta A new beta version of DragText v3.5 is now available from: http://www.e-vertise.com/dragtext/beta.html This beta (v3.F3) extends DT's newest feature -Moving Targets- to the WPS.
Now, when you drag WPS objects you can have DT move target windows up and
down in the z-order, either automatically or by pressing a key or mouse
button. v3.F3 lets you keep unintended targets from popping up by setting
a delay before DT raises a window automatically. v3.F3 also offers Odin support so you can use DragText with your Windows
programs, along with various smaller changes & bug fixes. This beta EXPIRES at the end of April, 2002. Until then, all of its
features are enabled and no registration is needed. Please do not post it
to hobbes or other sites. BTW... if you want the beta without the Web page, it's here: http://www.e-vertise.com/dragtext/drgtxtf3.zip AudioStation for OS/2 AudioStation audio player and editor.

the SuperPET 9000, which is out of line anyway) and the CBM-II (aka

vulnerabilities and coding mistakes. With minimal effort, Splint can be
used as a better lint. If additional effort is invested adding
annotations to programs, Splint can perform stronger checking than can be
done by any standard lint. This is the OS/2 port of the program, it was

Once the last few remaining issues are ironed out, we will be doing the

are tracked at the following URL: http://www.scitechsoft.com/sdd2_changes.txt SciTech Display Doctor for OS/2 brings SciTech's proven universal device
driver technologies to the OS/2 operating system. SciTech Display Doctor
for OS/2 incorporates the SciTech Nucleus Graphics Architecture, which is
a cross platform device driver technology enabling the use of the same
device drivers in all versions of SciTech Display Doctor. Sharing the
drivers between platforms improves the quality and performance of device
drivers for all supported operating systems. For more detailed information about SciTech Display Doctor for OS/2
(including the list of supported graphics chipsets) see the complete
readme at: ftp://ftp.scitechsoft.com/sdd/beta/os2/readme.txt --- END OF ANNOUNCEMENT --- osFree Technology Preview released osFree, a noncommercial OS/2-compatible system, sees the light of day.
English and Russian versions are available at Hobbes. The project invites
new participants, below is the manifesto of osFree team: The osFree team is looking for developers that could help us build an
opensource OS/2 clone. The OS/2 operating system has served us well during the years we have used
it. OS/2 still has its strengths but sadly the developer (IBM) has decided
that the strengths do not count anymore. In the end of 2002 all "free"
(IBM calls SWC free!) updates will be terminated and in the end of 2006
the plug will finally be pulled. Soon we will have two choices, migrate to another OS or keep running
something that will soon turn really old. eComStation may be a dark horse
here, but they are still dependant of what IBM will allow them to do. Or, is there another possibility ? In the recent years, open source has made its way into the mainstream
computing world. It would be a perfect solution to our problems. Anyone
can use the OS and noone will have the power to stop anyone else from
enhancing it. IBM has several times been asked to opensource OS/2 but to no avail. Their
reasons have been more or less muddy. Therefore we propose a mission to clone OS/2! As you have seen we have already gained some ground with our osFree
Technology Preview Edition but we need your help to: - Implement more, lots of stuff needs to be written: Networking,
more drivers, Presentation Manager, WPS and so on.Br>
- Create a good way to share the code (CVS, build environment)
and transform the existing code to an opensource compiler. - Create our own SDK/DDK. - Build documentation both for developers and end users. If you are interested, please join our yahoogroup http://groups.yahoo.com/group/osFree/ and tell us how you can help ! /The osFree team Psion OS/2 utilities (v1.4) Text mode ftp-like utilities for Psion Series 3(5). For a files transfer
and files conversion, with a Rexx interface. This utilities don't use any
TCP/IP stack calls. Program URL: ftp://cbs-edu.chel.su/pub/Porro/Psion Psion OS/2 NetDrive plugin (v1.4) NetDrive plugin to get access to Psion PDA disks as to ordinary OS/2 drive
(now with icons and partial reconnection) Program URL: ftp://cbs-edu.chel.su/pub/Porro/Psion Make 3.79.1 available for testing... GNU Make is an important program for anyone compiling programs with
EMX/GCC. Unfortunately on OS/2 we have had to use old versions of Make for
a long time. The most recent of which is v3.76.1, but there are many
different releases of this port and they do contain a number of bugs, some
different from other releases, so it makes it particularly difficult to
accurately report any problems . Now there is a new port of 3.79.1 and it
would be nice to get this tested as rigorously as possible, so if you do
use Make, please give this new port a test and report any problems so that
they can be corrected. It's available here:- ftp://ftp.unixos2.org/incoming/make-3_79_1-bin-beta1.zip BTTV-Project updated 14. Feb 2002 New BT8X8 driver for TV-Cards (Freeware/Shareware)
Last Update: 14.02.2002 Program URL: http://www.nord-com.net/s.milcke/bttv_en.htm The author (Stefan Milcke) says: I'm currently trying to port the linux BTTV driver to OS/2. The main work
is done. Radio is working already. I'm looking for Beta-Testers for this
new driver. I've included a fast hack of a radio application. Use at your
own risk! The driver is currently very big. It includes debug information. Important: My intention is to release this driver (and LXAPI32.SYS) as
Open Source. But I need some time until both drivers are stable and the
API is well defined. Complete history: http://www.nord-com.net/s.milcke/BT32_001.ZIP DirectX -> OpenGL Wrapper Open Sourced Just found out that the BeOS DirectX to OpenGL wrapper got released Open
Source that means one could port it into Odin (imho). Also, AiR-BOOT v0.28b will get released next week. cu, Kiewitz
