os/2 java future...
I found the following on the ibm java developer pages http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/other/portingplans.html:
"Our plans for IBM Java 1.3.1 encompass an expanded range of platforms
(AIX, PowerPC 32-bit and 64-bit; zOS; AS/400; Windows 32-bit and 64-bit;
Linux on 32-bit and 64-bit Intel architecture, and on 32-bit zSeries) with
delivery currently scheduled for 4Q 2001. Our implementation of 1.3.1 will
include our enhanced JIT compiler and garbage collection technology.
Note that, as a general rule, we will be moving away from our previous
policy of making standalone Developer Kits available for individual
download. Instead, our emphasis is going to be on making the latest level
of Java technology available as an integrated aspect of IBM products such
as WebSphere. In the case of Linux, of course, delivery will be with the
various Linux distributions.
We plan to have an IBM Java 1.4 delivery on selected platforms within six
months of the Sun General availability of Java 1.4. You can expect to see
shipments on our chosen platforms starting within 2Q 2002."
Can anyone dig up and see if os/2/ecs is included?

From: Paulo Dias pcd@ieg.com.br
[Moderator Note: This is not directly news, except by the absence of any
mention of IBM's "chosed platforms" for future JDK development. If anyone
can answer this person's question, it would be important to know, since
IBM has repeatedly in the past encouraged developers to move to Java and
away from OS/2 native development.]
Dutch translation of Larsen Commander available
Larsen Commander has been translated to Dutch. You can download the Dutch
language module (as well as Larsen Commander it self, of course) from
http://home.online.no/~leifel/lcmd/index.html
Thanks to Kris Steenhaut for this nice translation!
Larsen Commander is a powerful, flexible and user friendly GUI file
manager and command processor for OS/2 Warp.
New Service Refresh of Java o118
From: news://news.hursley.ibm.com/ibmpub.java.os2 posted by Murali
Krishna Veeravalli of IBM
A new service refresh of Java 118 for OS/2 is now available. The build
version is o11n-20010830 and can be accessed at:
ftp://ftp.hursley.ibm.com/pub/java/fixes/os2/11/118
JJSCDROM
JJSCDROM - Modified OS/2 CD-ROM / CD-RW / DVDs device manage drive. Grab
the dayly builds (: from hobbes.
build JJ20010913 - September 13th,2001
- Fixed command line perser bug. No longer perse beyond EOL.
- Added /VP option (verbose w/pause).
New kernels with new features
New (09/14) kernels for OS/2 that appeared on IBM Testcase aroused
agitation. It was caused by a new driver clock0.sys included into the
kernel archive and line clockscale= for config.sys.
The first guess is that this parameter allows switching process context of
the kernel by changing a scale factor for the frequency of clock ticks.
It is an unexpected step of IBM who has done nothing new in this direction
since OS/2 Warp 3.0.
This novelty is very important for multimedia applications and tasks close
to RealTime.

phpMyAdmin 2.2.0
A set of PHP-scripts to administrate MySQL over the WWW.
-----------------------------------------
http://phpwizard.net/projects/phpMyAdmin/
http://phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net/
Announcement
------------
After 5 months, 5 beta releases and 4 release candidate versions, the
phpMyAdmin developers are pleased to announce the availability of
phpMyAdmin 2.2.0.
phpMyAdmin is intended to handle the administration of MySQL over the Web.
The project was started by Tobias Ratschiller in 1998, and is now one of
the most popular PHP script used worldwide.
(Un)fortunately, Tobias then stopped to work on phpMyAdmin last year: the
last version (2.1.0) was released on 6. August 2000. In the mean time,
there were many suggestions and good ideas around, as well as a security
advisory.
That is why on 31st March 2001, Olivier M ller (Switzerland), supported by
Marc Delisle (Qu bec), Lo c Chapeaux (France) and a team of 8 other
developers re-started the phpmyadmin project on SourceForge.net, with the
authorization of the original package maintainer. And now, after 5 months
of patches, bugfixes, new features and testing, the version 2.2.0 is
finally ready.
Available at http://phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net, it includes the following
highlights:
Highlights
----------
* Security fixes
* New languages: Thai, Swedish, Galician, Romanian, Slovak,
Japanese, Korean
* Dynamic multiple language support, with automatic browser
language detection
* Improved documentation
* Better file import/export possibilities
* PEAR, CSS2 and XHTML 1.0 compliant (as far as possible)
* User and Database administration page
* Gzip and HTTP compression support
* Removed necessity of magic_quotes_gpc (autodetection)
* Bookmarks (sql queries) feature
* Database usage statistics
* Javascript compatibility improvements
* Table maintenance features (repair, check, optimize)
* Maintained PHP3 compatibility
* Better BLOB support
* Table usage and row statistics
* Multiple table types
* Now backed by a full-time development team! :)
Detailed list of changes since version 2.1 is available under http://phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net/ChangeLog.txt
