Version 7 has many small functional enhancements en bug fixes. The major
improvements over version 6 are:

require you to select a disk or partition first :-)
- Access to RAW disk images like SVISTA .HDD as a disk
- A new FIND dialog with , 'sector GREP'
- CRC32 checking and COMPARE mode for Imaging allow you
to verify an image after creation or before restoring

XWorkplace, the incredibly feature rich WPS Enhancer, developed by Ulrich
Möller, has been updated to version 1.0.3. It is available on Hobbes at:
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/apps/wps/xworkplace/xwp-1-0-3.exe
According to Paul Ratcliffe, who released this version (thanks Paul), it
contains fixes only. There are no new features.
Ulrich, you are sorely, and sadly missed.

In an article on CNet Asia about the recent "browser wars" between M$ and
the Mozilla Foundation, author Charles Cooper tried to show what the M$
strategy is like when the Redmond company is faced real competition.
Here's a quote from the article:
"...During the early 1990s rivalry with IBM's OS/2, Microsoft pulled out
all the stops to make sure reporters were convinced the world was a better
place because of Windows. Microsoft's marketing prowess came in handy
because IBM had a better product. The reason OS/2 failed was because Big
Blue was utterly inept at making its case..."
I especially enjoy the line "Microsoft's marketing prowess came in handy
because IBM had a better product." ;)

Forwarded message from Marty on Mon, 21 Feb 2005 00:31:30 UTC Posted on:
comp.os.os2.apps
Mr. Message for OS/2 is an instant messenger client which is capable of
communicating over AOL's Instant Messenger network using the OSCAR
protocol (used in the Win32 AIM clients, jBuddy, gAIM, Kopete, ICQ, and
a variety of other clients).
It has been updated with the following changes:
* Added the ability to understand a server migration message.
This will allow you to stay on-line in a single session until
either a network error occurs or you decide to close the session. *
Added the ability to automatically log back in to the AOL server
after being booted or after a network error.
* IM windows and buddy list will not automatically close when a
session ends, unless the user explicitly wanted the session to
end.
* Fixed the multimedia thread tracking so that it realizes that
audio threads have finished when they end with errors.
* Fixed session thread hang when AOL server tries (and fails) to
migrate us to a new server.
* Fixed failing to play some media formats that are supported by
the system (fixed for MP3 and Ogg Vorbis MMIO codecs in the
CWMM media classes and Russell O'Conner's MMAudio Pack).
* Fixed frozen sender threads when we receive a server pause
message and then get booted. This should allow you to restart
a session after being booted without shutting down the entire
application.
* Fixed a crash when the buddy list is empty and a new buddy sends
their first message.
You can download it here:
http://mamodeo.dyndns.org/MrMessage_bin_02202005.zip
or with the full source code here:
http://mamodeo.dyndns.org/MrMessage_srcbin_02202005.zip
There is also a WarpIn installation package here:
http://mamodeo.dyndns.org/MrMessage_02202005.wpi
Please read the README file before running or asking for support. As
always, feedback is appreciated.
A proper web page for the project is on the way... I really mean it this
time! Honest!
I'd like to give a special thanks here to Jan van Wijk for helping me
recover from my system catastrophe. Without his help, this release would
have never happened and the project probably would have died.
