ePDF 2b19 has been relaised.
New in this version:
- support for text-based watermarks
The watermarks are sizable, rotatable, colour-adjustable, and all
intalled PostScript fonts are useble for the watermark text.
More informations and downloadlinks:
http://www.subsys.de/ePDF/
This is only a new 'ePDF.exe', you have to copy this file into your
existing ePDF installation directory.
Also you will find the 'ePDF reference manual' (rev. 1), at the ePDF
website. This is an example PDF file, created with ePDF, that shows some
of the ePDF features in practice (e.g. bookmarks, a watermark, doc infos,
page filled startup etc.)
kind regards

Some have asked for Info-Zip's ZIP 2.31.
For everyones benefit I uploaded the binaries to Hobbes (
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/archiver/zip231x2.zip ).
This is just a compile of the original binaries. It's untested but it
seems to work. So I don't take any responsibilities.
It's compiled with Visual Age C++ 3.08 and linked statically.
Have fun.

sending messages.
- (Install.CMD) Added code to copy RxMlUtil.DLL to the OS/2 DLL directory.

I would like to inform all developers that plan to attend the OS/2 and
eComStation Developers Workshop 2005 that you can buy tickets now!
We use the Mensys online shop for registration. This shop is secure and
offers a number of different ways to pay the registration fee. While it
will be possible to register at the checkin desk, we strongly suggest not
doing this. Why? Because we have to know how many people are attending the
workshop! (at least, roughly!) We have the possibility to rent more or
larger rooms depending on the number of participants, but we can do this
only in advance! We know that some people make a last minute decision to
participate and that is OK with us. However, if you already know that you
want to attend, please use the online shop to register!
The final prices for the event are:
40 EUR for a two day registration
25 EUR for a one day registration
The tickets include the entrance fee for the workshop as well as snacks
and a limited number of non-alcoholic beverages during the workshop. In
addition, we offer Workshop Sponsor Units. The Workshop Sponsor Units will
be used to pay travel costs for developers that come from eastern Europe.
If you want to know more about this, please visit the Workshop Homepage.
Other News:
===========
We have added a number of different logos to the workshop homepage. Among
the normal workshop logo, we now offer a banner version and a small
version of the logo.
Three presentations were added to the schedule. Two of them will provide
some details about the Development Roadmap of eComStation and translation
practices that were used to provide the different national language
versions of eComStation. The third new presentation is called "OS/2 USB
Stack Development Guidelines" and is of particular interest to people that
want to develop or enhance USB drivers!

The IMAP add-on for the Weasel mail server has just been updated to
version 0.08. You can get it from
ftp://eepjm.newcastle.edu.au/Weasel/imapd008.zip
This version is looking fairly solid; all known bugs have been fixed.
If you want to use this then you MUST first upgrade to Weasel version
1.73, because the Weasel Setup notebook is now used to control the IMAP
options.

PDFMerge/2 is a freeware tool to concatenate multiple PDF or PS files into
a single PDF file and eventually insert one or more empty pages.
PDFMerge/2 requires ePDF as it reuses some of ePDF's settings. There is no
installer currently, so please read the "readme.txt" that comes with
PDFMerge/2.
Please also note, as the version number below 1.0.0 indicates, this
program is not feature complete yet and probably not bug free.
In my humble opinion it just happens to be useful already and this build
seems to be quite stable.
In case of problem, suggestions you are invited to join the suboffice
mailing list at netlabs or contact me directly.
Runs on: A recent version of eCS (OS/2), Rexx support
Requires: VROBJ.DLL (VX-REXX runtime dll), ePDF by F. Wochatz (
http://www.subsys.de/ePDF/ )

Forwarded message from Marty on Mon, 4 Apr 2005

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:
* Splash screen is now controlled by the "Logo" setting in your OS/2
System Settings object.
* Changed so that the Session Manager is made visible again when a
session which had "Auto Minimize" set has failed to start up. * Put a
16 character length limit on the password to conform to AOL
limitations.
* Fixed password encoding in INI file to prevent truncation of passwords
with an ampersand ("&") in the second position or a "9" in the fifth
position. (Eg: "b&dp9ssword")
* Fixed login sequence for better error tolerance and recognition. * Fixed
a small memory leak when another user's screen name is
reformatted with spaces.
* Fixed possible error message pop-up for automatically added duplicate
buddy.
To download, please visit the new official Mr. Message web page:

If anyone has any new suggestions for the REXX interface or has written
some REXX scripts that they think can be generally useful, I'd love to
hear about them.
I will continue to post updates to USENET as well as updating the web
page.

Found this on Virtual Pascal's website:
I don't know if anyone has noticed, but I am sad to report that Virtual
Pascal has died a quiet death. It was born in 1995, and died in 2005 at
the ripe old age (for software) of 10 years.
What this means to you is that there is unlikely to be more releases of
VP, and that there certainly will be no releases with shiny new features
in them.
The lack of activity in VP development has been apparent for a long time,
and the inevitable conclusion is fairly unsurprising. The reasons for the
inactivity are many, but among the main ones are - VP's compiler codebase
has become obsolete. It's written in assembly code, and adding new
functionality to the compiler realistically requires that it's written in
a higher level language, - I don't have the time or even knowledge to
rewrite large portions of VP (Vitaly wrote the compiler and is generally
much cleverer than me), - Nobody else seems to have the time (or
knowledge) required either, - FreePascal is moving forward and is now
actually quite usable. Yes, it probably has its flaws, but it also has a
lot of people working on it - and VP does not.
So I guess that's it. If you are happy with VP and it works for you,
that's great: please feel free to continue using it. If, on the other hand
it doesn't work, there is a bug, or you really need a new feature, then
you should probably look elsewhere: FreePascal and Delphi are both fine
Pascal compilers that have moved well beyond where VP is ever going to
go...
And before you ask, VP will not be released as Open Source. I don't own
the copyright to all of the code (some of it is related to Borland's
source code) and you have to believe me when I tell you it's so
complicated you would not be able to do much with it even if it was
available. Sorry!
However, I'll keep running vpascal.com for a few more years and even reply
to the occasional forum post or email message.
It was good while it lasted: Thanks for all your support over the years!
(The message was written by Allan Mertner, one of the main VP developers
and vpascal.com webmaster.)
