| Event: VOICE Speakup via IRC about Maul Publisher |
2006-04-17
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Roderick Klein
Dear OS/2/eComStation user,
VOICE is pleased to announce there will be an IRC speakup about Maul
Publisher. The speakup is with Peter Koller who is the developer of Maul
Publisher. Have not heard of Maul Publisher yet ?
Maul Publisher is an industrial strength desktop publisher capable of
creating virtually all of the printing seen on everyday household items.
You can use it to easily lay out newspapers, cards, books, labels, stamps,
posters, charts, forms, and even designs like building plans or furniture
arrangements.
http://www.manglais.com
What is a SpeakUp? Well, it's organized via IRC (Internet Relay Chat). On
an IRC SpeakUp you will get a chance to talk to software developers, for
instance. The person/organization/company invited for the SpeakUp will
give a short introduction about himself and the product or project they
work on. And then the real part of the SpeakUp starts! You can ask
questions! If you like the information exchange at Warpstock
(www.warpstock.org), then you will like VOICE SpeakUps (depending on the
subject, of course).
We will try and organize SpeakUps every month on a subject of interest.
What is new, is that SpeakUps will be organized twice. The first VOICE
SpeakUp will this time be targeted at the Asia and Australia. The second
meeting will be targeted at the United States and Europe. This targeting
will be accomplished by the timing of the IRC to suit the locale.
The first speakup on Maul Publisher will be on Sunday the 23 April at the
following times is targetted at Asia and Australia and *starts* on :
Sunday April 23, 09:00 GMT
Sunday April 23, 11:00 CET (Paris,Europe)
Sunday April 23, 18:00 JST (Tokyo/Japan)
Sunday April 23, 19:00 (Australia/Sydney)
Sunday April 23, 21:00 (Wellington)
May 6th Saturday speakup targetted at the North and South America.
Saturday 6th May, 19:00 GMT
Saturday 6th May, 21:00 CET (Paris,Europe)
Saturday 6th May, 15:00 (New York time)
Saturday 6th May, 12:00 (Los Angeles time)
During both speakups there will be special pricing for Maul Publisher!
Information will be provided at the speakup.
Visit http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc for timezone
help.
Channel #voice can be found on any of these servers.
If you don't have a IRC client. You can use a web browser to get on the IRC
VOICE channel. If you use the Mozilla web browser use the following link:
irc://irc.fyrelizard.com/voice
If you don't use Mozilla (Opera or the IBM web browser for instance) use

*** Vintage Computer Festival East 3.0 -- Saturday, May 13 -- Wall
Township, N.J. ***
April 17, 2005 -- Wall Township, N.J. -- The Vintage Computer Festival is
coming! For those who fondly remember the charisma of computers from the
1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, this is a must-attend event!! "VCF" as it's known
in computer circles is an annual public convention devoted to the
enjoyment and restoration of antique computers. The show began in Silicon
Valley in 1997 and the current edition is VCF East 3.0. At this year's
VCF you will find 17 exhibits of functioning antique computers, six
high-profile guest speakers, exciting prizes, and kinship with hundreds of
fellow early adopters. Spend a few hours at this event and you'll be in
nerd heaven! There will be dozens of antique computers on display from the
glory days of blinkenlights, tape drives, greenbar paper, punched cards,
homebrew kits, text-adventure games, and much, much more -- and no Windows
in sight. Like we said, it's nerd heaven! Use the day to learn, play,
or just reminisce with us.
So mark Saturday, May 13 on your calendar. VCF East 3.0 will be held at
the (new!) Information Age Science and History Education Center, a.k.a.
"InfoAge," which was formerly the Camp Evans U.S. Army base and was
originally built for the Marconi corporation in the early 1900s. The

children 13 and younger) and parking is free. The address is 2201 Marconi
Rd., Wall (Belmar), N.J. and driving directions are posted at
http://www.vintage.org/2006/east/directions.php
VCF East 3.0's sponsor is the Mid-Atlantic Retro Computing Hobbyists Inc.,

| SW: Mozilla's Firefox 1.5.0.2 Has Been Released |
2006-04-18
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: "Sander Nyman" <2sanderDESPAM@DESPAMsbcglobal.net>
Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.2 has been released. This is a security and
stability update. It contains 7 security fixes, 5 of which are rated
critical, so updating to 1.5.0.2 is highly recommended.
As a side note, an update to the old Firefox 1.0.x version has also been
released as version 1.0.8, although why anyone would want this is beyond
me. If you have not already upgraded to Firefox 1.5.x (WHAT ARE YOU
THINKING???), Improvements over Firefox 1.0.x versions are extensive,
including an automated update system to streamline product upgrades, faster
Back and Forward navigation, a feature for clearing private browsing data,
drag-and-drop reordering of browser tabs, a redesigned Options/Preferences
window and better popup blocking. Web standards support is also improved,
with support for Scalable Vector Graphics, JavaScript 1.6 and more CSS.
Accessibility is also better (including new DHTML accessibility features),
security has also been enhanced. Firefox's Extension System has been
redesigned to make extension upgrades cleaner (nothing left behind from
previous versions).
You can download it here:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.5.0.2/contrib/firefox-1.5.0.2.en-US.os2.zip
NOTE: This release requires the C runtime DLLs from Innotek. The latest
version is 0.5.1, which includes an installer. Available here:
http://download.innotek.de/gccos2/runtime/libc-0.5.1.exe
NOTE: This release requires IPLUGINW.DLL to use the Java and Flash
plugins. The latest (backward compatible) version is available here:
http://e-vertise.com/warpzilla/ipluginw20050915.xpi or here:
http://download.innotek.de/javaos2/mozilla/ipluginw20050915.xpi

| SW: Beta version of MySQL v5.0.19 now available |
2006-04-19
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Paul Smedley
Hi All,
I've uploaded a test version of MySQL v5.0.19 to
http://smedley.info/os2ports.html
Release Notes:
1) no DLL is currently provided - so all client utilities are much larger
executables than those found in Yuri's MySQL v4.1.7
2) no libs\*, include\* are provided to reduce the package size - these
are available on request
3) built with libc06 CSD1 so libc061.dll is required - this can be
downloaded from ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0.6.1-csd1.zip
4) this has currently had very limited testing - but it is running now on
my server and being used successfully with my build of PHP 4.4.2
5) All bug reports should be submitted via the bug tracker at
http://mantis.smedley.info
Users of MySQL v4.1.7 can simply copy their data directory from the
mysql41\data directory to mysql5\data and restart with the new mysqld.exe
and it should work fine.
A *big* thanks to Yuri Dario who provided his patches for MySQL 4.1.7 which
were the basis for this updated port. You can checkout (and support)
Yuri's efforts via his website at http://www.os2power.com/yuri
Cheers,

Some people have noticed that the Warpstock page has not been receiving
much in the way of updates recently. We want to assure everyone that this
is not a bad sign. In fact, it is quite the opposite. We are working on
rolling out an entirely new interface that will make future updates much
easier and will allow greater community involvement. We hope to have the
new system up in the near future. Please bear with us as we work out the
rest of the details.
Thank you for your patience.

| SW: PMDCalc Plus Version 0.9.8b |
2006-04-20
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Herwig Bauernfeind
This is a lightweight calculator for daily office use, which is optimized
for fast and simple calculations. In additions it has options to ease the
transfer of
- results from PMDCalc Plus into other programs
- numbers from other programs into PMDCalc Plus using the clipboard
and/or drag and drop.
Note: This calculator is not suitable for scientific mathematics, it is
not capable to handle brackets, it does not honor point calculation before
line calculation.
This is an interim release to fix some (mostly visual) problems in case
PMDCalc Plus is used on systems using 96dpi fonts.
* Changed: The whole calculator window is now freely resizable as the
resizing logic produced wrong sizes on systems with small 96dpi fonts
which rendered PMDCalc Plus almost unusable on these systems.
- Removed: Option to hide keyboard (obsolete)
! Fixed: The font of the tape and the memory register was not saved (and
the default font looked horrible on systems with small 96dpi fonts).
No other changes, so if you did not run into one of these issues, there is
no need to update.
Get PMDCalc Plus from:

| SW: Unofficial Gecko 1.8.0.2 releases (PmW-Fx, PmW-Tb, SeaMonkey) |
2006-04-23
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Peter Weilbacher, Posted on news://news.mozilla.org/mozilla.dev.ports.os2
[Moderator note: Peter requests that any responses be posted in the above
news group.]
I just finished uploading my current unofficial builds (PmW-Fx 1.5.0.2,
PmW-Tb 1.5.0.2, and SeaMonkey 1.0.1) to by builds page. I finally
decided not to do a release that exactly corresponds to the Gecko 1.8.0.2
release as that would have meant using a nearly one month old
code. Instead, I used the current 1.8.0 code but that should be just as stable
Changes since last unofficial release
- Lots of security fixes and fixes picked up with normal Mozilla.org
changes since the last releases.
- Include ipluginw.dll now (not PmW-Tb)
- Include only one extra DLL now named mozfntcfg.dll for SVG/cairo
support (not PmW-Tb) in order not to clash with X11's fontcfg
In case you want to use this library combination yourself when compiling
Mozilla please use
http://weilbacher.org/Mozilla/mozfntcfgft_22Apr2006.zip
and let me know if you find problems. It also contains the cairo files that
I used.
