Many improvements have been made since 0.71 came out in July. However heed the warning at the bottom of this message from the developer, Ulrich Moeller, about a WPS backup before attempting to install! I am uploading both the Source and Binary archives of XFolder 0.80 to Hobbes. Binary Presently at: hobbes.nmsu.edu/incoming/xfld080.zip Source Presently at: hobbes.nmsu.edu/incoming/xfld080s.zip Proposed placement: hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/wps/ >From the official XFolder web site: http://www2.rz.hu-berlin.de/~h0444vnd/xfldr.htm "With XFolder V0.80, the licence agreement has changed. XFolder is still freeware, but it is now placed under the GNU General Public Licence, which means that its source code is released and free for use under certain terms and conditions. Note that there is still no warranty whatsoever. Use at your own risk." "Version 0.80 beta is now available. Main new features since V0.71: "OS/2 Kernel" and "Workplace Shell" objects, WPS class list, CONFIG.SYS settings, enhanced status bars with different information depending on the object selected, status bars for tree views also, extended settings context menus, QuickOpen feature for folders, replacement of WPS confirmation dialogs, folder menu bars are now also changed, object internals settings page, XShutdown command line interface. And again lots of bugfixes." "WARNING: Judging from the first feedback, you only have a 50-% change that this version will install on your system. I strongly recommend to make a WPS backup before you install, at least backup the INI files. Alt-F1 does not always work. ;-) I suppose this is related to old SOM runtimes, because XFolder now uses SOM multiple inheritance for its classes. I am further investigating this." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
