Inet.Mail for OS/2 -- Your Complete Internet Email Server Solution http://www.hethmon.com/inetmail.html --------------------------- WarpCast ------------------------- Source: Jeff Gaynor (jeff.gaynor@ibm.net) Moderator: Trevor Smith (editor@os2ezine.com) ---------------------------------------------- The extremely reliable German magazine, OS/2 Inside, reports in their April 1998 edition, p. 34, that there is a beta version of a VDM (Virtual DOS Machine) capable of completely emulating a PC. More that just a jazzed-up DOS box, they have booted Linux, NT (needs a patch, since ctrl+alt+del reboots OS/2 normally and this keystroke is needed for logon under NT) and as well OS/2 -- meaning that they have booted Warp 3 under Warp 4. This is frankly amazing and the source is exceptionally reliable. The beta has reportedly been written in Austin and is called VDM-32 or WOW (=Wide Open Warp) and is code-named kangaroo. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
