Tickets for Warpstock Europe 2001 are now available!

The Warpstock Europe 2001 Event Team is pleased to announce that tickets for the upcoming OS/2 Warp and eComStation IT-conference are now available for online purchase. You can buy your Warpstock Europe tickets and register for the event using a secure online registration system from Mensys BV.

To buy tickets online and register for Warpstock Europe 2001 go to http://shop.mensys.nl/catalogue/mns_WarpStockEurope2001.html

"We have made a special effort to make attending Warpstock Europe 2001 very affordable for everyone", says Team Coordinator John Bijnens. "If people register now using the online registration system they will save money and benefit from substantial discounts" John explains, "and in some cases online purchase will save them up to 30% compared to when the tickets are bought on site at the registration desk".

Thanks to the Dutch HCC, main sponsor of this year's event, there will be free entrance to Warpstock Europe 2001 for all HCC members upon display of their current membership card at the registration desk. For students, a special discount is available.

For everyone else, a standard registration including tickets for three days costs 700 BF, which is less than 17.5 Euro and a one day ticket is only 300 BF or less than 7.5 Euro. "That's really cheap compared to most other IT-conferences of this kind" says Team member Christian Langanke, "especially considering the added value of three days packed with professional level lectures." And it get's even better because attendees will receive a free CD-ROM containing the complete content of the conference lectures.

Several registration schemes exist to accommodate everyone's needs. Tickets can be purchased for one, two or three days with a special discount for students, upon display of their current student ID card at the registration desk. All registration options are available on the Mensys web site and should fit both students or IT-professionals, one-day visitors or people coming from abroad to stay the whole three days of the event. For those who don't want to use the on line registration system, on site registration will be available at the conference.

The Warpstock Europe 2001 Conference will be held on November 2-4, 2001 at the 'KH Limburg' College near Hasselt, Belgium. Warpstock Europe is an annual gathering of developers, vendors and users of the OS/2 and eComStation operating systems, for the purpose of education, providing information and support to everyone with an interest in these operating systems or related technology. More information is available at the Warpstock Europe web site http://warpstock.os2.org

So if you are interested please contact me at elavoie@zeryx.com

n.b. I was made aware of a key generator circulating that provides an unlimited number of user license for ZxMail, those users that have used this will find that ZxMail stops working if such a key was used, so please encourage OS2 software development, and stop using such tools.

F 4.5h beta released

On September 29th, Duy Nguyen and Michel Normand have released version 4.5h beta of F, the Swiss army knife of file managers. F is a freeware text-mode multi-platform application. Supported operating systems are OS/2, AIX, BSD, Linux, and Win32.

F is not only a very configurable file manager, but also offers an FTP/FXP client, an editor with syntax-highlighting, numerous tools for developers, simple e-mail and news clients, as well as small HTTP and FTP servers. F comes with its own FFP (F to F protocol) for file transfers and remote file execution, providing services for remote administration. Note that the interface is keyboard-only.

This is mainly a bugfix release. New features include virtual file system (VFS) support without the need for external helpers for disk images (DSK) and ISO CD images. Currently, you can't change the files, but files can be extracted and viewed using F's internal viewer.
