From: Trevor Hemsley
I'm pleased to announce the release of Pronews/2 v1.59
Pronews/2 is a multithreaded NNTP Newsreader program for OS/2.
If you are upgrading from any Pronews/2 release prior to 1.59 you are
strongly advised to make a backup copy of the file \pronews\toolbar.ini as
this release changes the on-disk format of this file. You will not be able
to run a previous release of Pronews/2 unless you restore an old copy of
this file.
If you are upgrading from a release prior to 1.54 then you are strongly
urged to backup your existing filter files as the files have a different
on-disk format from 1.54 onwards. Failure to backup files *.FLT in \pronews
and \pronews\headers will mean it will be impossible to use your filters if
you should need to revert to a release prior to 1.54. You should also read
the readme.txt file installed in the \pronews directory as this covers
changes and new features from prior releases as well as tips for making
Pronews/2 quicker.
You can find Pronews/2 1.59 on http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/pn2v159.zip
(later to be http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/apps/internet/news/reader) as
pn2v159.zip.
Pronews/2 is shareware and all profits from its sale are donated to the
charity Save the Children.
Pronews/2 v1.59 is a relatively small update with a few bugs fixed. There
are no new features in this release. A list of the fixes is available in
your \pronews directory after install in the file fixed.txt.
More information about all changes and installation instructions can be
found in the readme file after (or during) the install.

From: Eugene Gorbunoff
What is Panorama VESA? "Is this a base for a future or a strategic withdrawal?"
Panorama VESA is the first project which:
* answers to your questions -- Panorama FAQ --
http://ecomstation.ru/projects/panorama/?action=faq
* gathers information for developers --
http://ecomstation.ru/projects/panorama/?action=links
* removes the restrictions to hardware until 2009 --
http://ecomstation.ru/projects/esway/?action=roadmap
Please download updated Panorama VESA from eComStation beta-zone. New
version of the video driver brings better support for Dive applications.
If using Widescreen LCD monitor then pay attention to Widescreen activators
created by Robert Lalla for Intel and ATI ATOM video adapters.
New sections at the site: Benchmarks (send us your benchmarks; run sysbench
All Video tests and All DIVE tests, save as html; zip to .ziq; subj:
Panorama benchmarks;)
Do you have clear examples how to use Dive, VMAN, fullscreen? We are
already publish this information and distribute it among all developers of
eComStation applications.
This driver is available via the eComStation BetaZone to customers who have
an active Software Subscription Services.

| SW: FM/2 3.6.0 has been released. |
2007-06-26
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: David Graser
FileManager/2 (FM/2) is a freeware OS/2 (warp)/ eCS PM 32-bit
file/directory/archive maintenance utility (a sort of super-Drives object,
something midway between the Drives objects and a more traditional file
manager) with plenty of bells, whistles and utilities, drag and drop,
context menus, toolbars and accelerator keys.
This build has been converted over to Open Watcom. It also contains bug
fixes in addition to using a Warpin install.
It can be found on Hobbes:
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?sh=1&button=Search&key=fm2-3-6-0
[Moderator note: Currently in \incoming:
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/fm2-3-6-0.zip ]
Source files and ticketed items can be found at
http://svn.netlabs.org/fm2
It has a support group at
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/fm2user/
The utilities aren't included in this package. If you installed version
3.5.9 with the utilities, it is not necessary to install them again. If
you don't have the utilities installed, download 3.5.9 from Hobbes and
extract the utilities wpi and put it in the same directory as your 3.6.0
build and run the 3.6.0 install. It will then give you the option of
installing the utilities along with build 3.6.0.
If you are a programmer and always wanted a feature added, but did not have
the build environment, this should no longer be the case since the source
now builds with Open Watcom. Source files can be obtained from
http://svn.netlabs.org/fm2
Enjoy!
David

Here is another update about the upcoming Developers Workshop!
Just one more week to go :-)
Information added to the webpage:

Check for yourself at:
http://wiki.netlabs.org/index.php/Developers_Workshop_2007
Make sure to have a ho(s)tel reservation soon! Not to forget about the
plane and/or train tickets ;-)
Amsterdam is still a Tourist Magnet :-)
Registration
Please do this before coming Thursday, July 5th!
Without registration you will get a badge with hieroglyph handwriting on
it, so others will need to decode it... ;-)
As we have to arrange various things based on the amount of visitors and
we don't want to get in trouble of registrations at the location, we ask
you to preregister via the Mensys site early. Thanks a lot!
Here is the direct link: http://www.mensys.nl/developerworkshop2007/
This also accounts for students, although their entrance fee is for free.
Hope to see you all at the Developers Workshop 2007 in Amsterdam!
A lot of information is shared between developers outside the
presentations, so you better be there ;-)
Netlabs.org relies on your support as well, we hire developers to have
better progress on projects. For sure this costs money so any sponsoring is
very welcome! You can support netlabs.org via netlabs.org sponsoring units:
http://www.mensys.net/NETLABS/

the entrie user interface) --

Piano Launchpad is aimed to change the situation a bit --
