I'm glad to anounce that the eCalc website has been launched last weekend.
eCalc is a calculator program for OS/2 and eCs.
You may find more informations, screenhsots and download links at
http://www.subsys.de/eCalc/
There is also the new version (preview 3) available, which comes with National
Language Support.
Currently it comes with the following languages:
- dutch
- english
- french
- german
If you are interested in translating the program, please read the file NLS.txt
in the latest download archive. Translating is quite simple, you need only an
editor to edit an ascii file.

2005-12-16
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Don Hawkinson
In the last notice I sent to Voice News , the download links were incorrect due
to my error.
During December, I am offering a prerelease special on TextHelper and my other
shareware programs. Register TextHelper now for $10 and for another $10 you can
get the registered versions of my other shareware offered on my web page.
http://www.dwhawkinson.com
TextHelper is not yet listed on my web page.
The download links are:
http://home.tulsaconnect.com/dwhawk/th_s090.zip
and for OS/2 & eCS users who speak Dutch:
http://home.tulsaconnect.com/dwhawk/th_ds090.zip
The Dutch version of the online help is not yet available.
I am interested in comments and bug reports even if you decide not to register
TextHelper. There will be a 1.0 release early in January 2006.
TextHelper is simple editor based on the MultiLineEditor class from the IBM Open
Class Library. I have added some text manipulation functions and special
support for printing on HP Deskjet and Laserjet printers. If you do not have a
compatible printer, there is also a generic printer option.
TextHelper is not intended to replace any full functioned editor. Its value is
mainly the ability to print in Landscape or Portrait mode; on US letter, US
legal, and Euro A4 sized paper and envelope sizes; in 5, 10,12, 16, or 20
characters per inch or proportional; in 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 ,12 lines per inch; 6,
12, or 24 character point size; in bold or letter quality mode; with or without
line numbers; with or without a 3 hole punch margin; and in combinations of
those options.

I'm trying to cleanup a couple of bad addresses on the VOICE News list.
Does anyone recognize any of the following address:
"handriessen at t-online.de"
"hwj@mail-sttl.uswest.net"
and perhaps know what address may be subscribed to the list that is being
redirected to either of them? There are no such addresses currently subscribed
yet I keep getting failure messages for them.
For the record we currently have 724 subscribers. Down about 50 from a year
ago. Besides the 2 bad addresses above I am getting a couple which are returned
because the account mailbox is full and 1 where there is a timeout. I haven't
been deleting these returns since its usually a temporary situation.
Finally as a reminder if you have OS/2 or eComStation related news please use
the submission form at http://www.os2voice.org/fSubNews.html or send it to
submit@os2voice.org Sending it to any other address may result in it being
overlooked and at best delayed.

| Net: Poll of Interest in New Edition of PMMail |
2005-12-19
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Walter F. Metcalf
Hello everyone,
VOICE is considering sponsoring an updated and supported version of PMMail for OS/2.
There is the general feeling that a large number of people still use this
long-dead email client because is is fast, and feature-rich,
among other reasons. Possibly others would start using it again if it were
updated and supported.
Before VOICE commits to this project, which could be costly and
developer-intensive, at least in the short term, we want to get a
slightly better idea of the usage and interest in PMMail for OS/2, so we have
created a poll to determine this.
When answering the question about the amount you would be willing to pay for
such a product, please be realistic, and select the
MAXIMUM you could/would be willing to pay. (Think of the prices indicated as
registration fees.)
The poll is located at http://www.os2voice.org/cgi-bin/vpp1.cmd?pollname=pmmail1 .
It would help if you would completely the poll as soon as possible. However, to
make allowance for the busyness of the Christmas
season, the cutoff date is not until Jan 15, 2006.
If you have questions about the content of the poll, you may contact me at
walter dot os2 at rogers dot com. (Remove the obvious
characters before sending the email. :-) )
Developers interested in this project should note that there MIGHT be funds
available to pay them. Nothing has been officially decided yet, however.
Thanks,

| SW: First beta of Bind 9.3.2rc1 for OS/2 |
2005-12-19
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Paul Smedley
Now available from http://smedley.info/os2ports.html
From the readme.os2 file:
This is a first public release of Bind 9.3.2rc1 compiled for OS/2.
It is built with Innotek GCC 3.3.5 GA and requires the libc06 runtime dll which
is available from ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0.6.0-ga2.zip
This has not been extensively tested, but seems to work locally for me.
Known issues:
* named currently expects its configuration file to be in /bind9/etc - a future
release will check the OS/2 ETC directory
* named currently logs some errors to the log - however these errors do not
appear to affect functionality and are under investigation
* currently requires a 32-bit tcpip stack (ie tcpip v4.1 or higher). If there
is demand for a tcpip v4 compatible version, I'll see if I can build it.
My Bind 8 configuration file required only minor changes to work with Bind 9 - I
had to remove 'deallocate-on-exit' option, and remove 'category load { xfer-log; };'
Please send feedback to paul@smedley.info
Cheers,
Paul.

From: Paul Smedley
This is the second public release of Bind 9.3.2rc1 compiled for OS/2 &
eComStation and is available from http://smedley.info/os2ports.html
It is built with Innotek GCC 3.3.5 GA and requires the libc06 runtime dll which
is available from ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0.6.0-ga2.zip

My Bind 8 configuration file required only minor changes to work with Bind 9 - I
had to remove 'deallocate-on-exit' option, and remove 'category load { xfer-log; };'
Note that errors in the log similar to:

21-Dec-2005 18:49:08.310 couldn't add command channel 127.0.0.1#953: file not
found
21-Dec-2005 18:49:08.314 no source of entropy found
don't seem to affect functionality.
Details on rndc.key can be found at
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/ref-guide/s1-bind-rndc.html
- it should be possible to specify the location of rndc.key in named.conf and
clear this message.
Details on the 'source of entropy' message are at
http://www.isc.org/sw/bind/FAQ.php It seems possible to work around this one by
creating a random key using dnssec-keygen and referencing it in named.conf
I'm currently unsure about the "couldn't add command channel 127.0.0.1#953: file
not found" problem.
Please send feedback to paul@smedley.info

| SW: More on New Edition of PMMail |
2005-12-21
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Walter F. Metcalf
Hello everyone,
I'm trying to limit the amount of information I post, until more discussion has
taken place by the VOICE Board of Directors. The final decision will, of
course, be up to
the members of VOICE.
One point, however, has been coming up so often, that it needs to clarified
publically. Perhaps the answer to this question should have included in the Poll.
The wording may vary, but the question is "Is the PMMail for OS/2 source code
available?" Some people have asked, "Does VOICE have the source code?"
The answer to both is questions is that VOICE has in hand a definite offer to
sell the source code (and the copyright).
VOICE wouldn't have made these announcements unless this were so.
What VOICE has to do now is to decide what to do with this offer. The Poll was
designed to give us information to help us make this decision.
I hope this clarifies some of the confusion surrounding this offer.
Thank you,

[Moderator's note:
"This is the first beta release of the eComStation 2.0. This product is
available for download to all registered eComStation customers of Software
Subscription Services.
This version of eComStation 2.0 is purely intended as a technology proof. Some
new items have been implemented:
* SNAP/ENT the special licensed version of SNAP by Serenity is in there, we
boot Snap directly from CD-Rom
* Bootable JFS, this version is able to install on bootable JFS volumes.
Installing onto a bootable JFS volume will show a dramatic performance
increase!
* ACPI, This version installs and detects ACPI
If your system does not boot, check if ACPI is detected, you can disable
ACPI support in page 2 of the preboot menu
* Updated snoopers
These will provide better hardware detection/activiation during boot
* Removed installation phase 3, this results in a reduced number of reboots
during installation"

extremely slowly)
"Cairo is a 2D graphics library with support for multiple output
devices. Currently supported output targets include the X Window
System, win32, and image buffers. Experimental backends include OpenGL
(through glitz), Quartz, XCB, PostScript and PDF file output.
Cairo is designed to produce consistent output on all output media
while taking advantage of display hardware acceleration when available
(eg. through the X Render Extension).
The cairo API provides operations similar to the drawing operators of
PostScript and PDF. Operations in cairo including stroking and filling
cubic Bézier splines, transforming and compositing translucent images,
and antialiased text rendering. All drawing operations can be
transformed by any affine transformation (scale, rotation, shear, etc.)
Cairo is implemented as a library written in the C programming
language, but bindings are available for several different programming
languages.
Cairo is free software and is available to be redistributed and/or
modified under the terms of either the GNU Lesser General Public
License (LGPL) version 2.1 or the Mozilla Public License (MPL) version
1.1. "

| SW: PMMIncoming Script Version 2.02 released |
2005-12-23
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: axel.hagedornDESPAM@DESPAMgmx.de
I've updated my PMMail/2 helper script to version 2.02 (and renamed it
to a more PMMail/2-dedicated Name: PMMIncoming.cmd). This REXX script
manipulates malformed emails so that they will be correctly handled by
PMMail/2. Version 2.02 is almost a complete rewrite and has many
improvements.
The following main problems are being addressed by this script:
* Subject, From, To, Cc and Reply-To are transformed to ISO-8859-1 if
one of the following problems occour:
o headerline is encoded in UTF-8 (idicated)
o headerline is encoded in ISO-8859-15 (idicated)
o headerline has no indicated encoding but is UTF-8
o headerline has no indicated encoding but is ISO-8859-15
(this all would otherwise lead to false Subjects, Froms, etc. if
German Umlauts, etc are used)
* Body encoding is changed to ISO-8859-1 if Content-Type indicates
ISO-8859-15 (this would otherwise lead to a false Body if German
Umlauts, etc. are used)
* Mime-Version, Content-Type and Content-Transfer-Encoding are added
to the header if not present (this would otherwise lead to a false
Body if German Umlauts, etc. are used, cause in most cases these mails
use ISO-8859-1 encoding - which has to be indicated for PMMail/2 to be
recognized)
* ISO encoded mails that are falsely set to a 7bit tranfer encoding
are set to 8bit (this would otherwise lead to a false body)
* Date is adjusted by adding the time difference between used timezone
and GMT if PST (PDT) or EST (EDT) is used and no time difference is
idicated. (this would otherwise lead to a misinterpretation of the
message's timestamp)
* Sub-Header in some Multipart mails are checked as well if they
contain text and have incomplete headerinformation (this would
otherwise again lead to false Body if German Umlauts, etc. are used)
Get the script from here: http://www.infinity-2.de
(The webpage is available in German and English now.)
BTW: I've released an update to the Mozilla-Integration of PMMail/2
too. (The original approach doesn't work with newer Mozillas anymore.)
Best regards and season's greetings
Axel
PS: Let's all hope this script won't be necessary anymore in the near
future, when PMMail/2 will hopefully be mainained by VOICE!

quePDF 1.00 has been released.
This is a queue processor that manages the pipe between an application

Thanks to Peter Koller for the development of this tool. qPDF works
for all applications as well as Printmon PS, but has some features and
also some special features if you use it from 'Maul DTP'.
More informations and download links:

Later quePDF will be the successor of PrintMon PS and the default
redirection tool in quePDF v3.0 (not yet available - coming soon).
BTW, currently I'm working on ePDF v 3.0, which will be an advanced
version with new features (e.g. better batch mode and profile
handling, latest GS features, installer etc.). This version will also
include some new PDF related tools, for example a PDF information
center and a little PDF viewer. You may look at a first screenshot
which shows ePDFView and ePDFInfo here:

Just noticed that there is a somewhat recent (10/20/2005) update to
AFPL Ghostscript.
The main Ghostscript page: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/AFPL/
"Ghostscript is the name of a set of software that provides:
* An interpreter for the PostScript (TM) language, with the
ability to convert PostScript language files to many raster formats,
view them on displays, and print them on printers that don't have
PostScript language capability built in;
* An interpreter for Portable Document Format (PDF) files, with
the same abilities;
* The ability to convert PostScript language files to PDF (with
some limitations) and vice versa; and
* A set of C procedures (the Ghostscript library) that implement

| SW: USB "configurator" beta2 available |

From: Peter Brown
Hi All
This application is designed to help (re)configure USB drivers and
devices. It is not designed to install USB drivers, the drivers must
already be installed - it should help sort out driver parameters so
the drivers become useful though :-)
Please read the Readme.txt file included in the package before
attempting to install and use the application.
Hope it comes in handy http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/USBcfgb2.zip

Merry Christmas :-)
