Mozilla 1.5b for OS/2 now available
Check out http://www.mozilla.org/ports/os2 for details.
"August 28, 2003 Mozilla 1.5b has been released. The OS/2 version is
available as a Zipfile. http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.5b/mozilla-os2-1.5b

Innotek. http://download.innotek.de/gccos2/runtime/libc02.zip"

Automatic shutdown process killer
Many people might not be aware of this, but the eCS 'enhanced shutdown'
(part of eStyler) includes a built-in process killer.
I see people resorting to the use of GO or other killers in order to kill
recalcitrant processes during shutdown, but the necessary functionality
is actually built into the shutdown itself.
However, it has no GUI to configure it (I think Alessandro added the
feature after the eStyler settings notebook was finished & delivered).
ESTYLER.INI keeps a "kill list" of programs (listed by exe name) which it
will automatically kill during shutdown if they are running.
I've written a REXX program to allow users to view and modify the kill
list, and uploaded it to Hobbes:
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/shutkill_10.zip
Later:
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/process/shutkill_10.zip
You run this program from the command line. The syntax is simple: Innotek Java 1.4.2_01 GA Innotek has released its 1.4.2_01 Runtime+SDK GA! Innotek Java is free for the end user, doesn't require any signup/license
file to work, is current with the Sun releases for other platforms and has
much better UI responsiveness than GoldenCode, enjoy! :) ePDF 2b0.95 ePDF 2b0.95 has been released. ePDF is a Rexx based PM tool for PostScript-to-PDF conversion which uses
GhostScript as its back-end. Features: Downloadlink: http://www.subsys.de/ePDF/download/epdf2b95.zip Note: This is only an updated ePDF.exe file, the program requires an
installed previous version (for new ePDF user: get a full archive from http://www.subsys.de/ePDF/ first). Just copy the file to your ePDF
install path and overwrite the old ePDF.exe to update your ePDF
application. SciTech SNAP Graphics 2.2.1 for OS/2 This version adds support for some newer ATI Radeon graphics chipsets,
zooming on some older chipsets, and some GRADD updates. A list of public
changes can be found here: http://www.scitechsoft.com/snap2_changes.txt SciTech SNAP Graphics provides high performance graphics accelerator

same device drivers in all versions of SciTech SNAP Graphics. Sharing the
drivers between platforms improves the quality and performance of device
drivers for all supported operating systems. For more detailed information about SciTech SNAP Graphics for OS/2

Hi again... four items to report today: 1) Virtual PC for OS/2 version 5 has been PULLED from distribution by the
new owners... (uh... rhymes with PicroLoft), so it is no longer available
through us. We have no stock (and had no real warning, though kinda
figured this was coming...). Sorry! 2) eComStation pre-loaded custom-assembled PC's quote PDF has been
updated - including AMD Opteron CPUs and several other new toys... 3) perhaps most pertinent to those reading this - our latest shipment of
eComStation v1.1 packages has arrived, so we will be shipping these out
ASAP to all those who have been waiting (im)patiently for the CD's... our
sincere apologies for the delay. They should begin arriving by the end of
next week, perhaps sooner. 3) perhaps most pertinent to those reading this - our latest shipment of

ASAP to all those who have been waiting (im)patiently for the CD's... our
sincere apologies for the delay. They should begin arriving by the end of
next week, perhaps sooner. 4) in relation to number 3 above - we have stock left over from
back-orders that needed filling, so if you're looking for a copy, please
drop us a line. (eMail preferred, since we're not always here to answer
the phone). Online ordering also available on the website. Full details for everything at http://www.finnsoft.com Thanks, and thanks for your support! -Derek Derek W. Keoughan,
