Inet.Mail 1.3 -- The best mail server on OS/2 just got better! Audit Capabilities, More Spam Control, Improved Performance Visit us at http://www.hethmon.com/inetmail.html for full details. A free update for current users. ****************************** WarpCast ****************************** Source: Greg Bourassa (bourassa@magma.ca) Moderator: Christopher B. Wright (wrightc@dtcweb.com) ********************************************************************** Prolog Develpment Center (PDC), the developers of Visual Prolog have just announced availability of their full Professional product as freeware for home and educational use. This fulfills their promise announced at Warpstock 98. The product is a fully functional Prolog compiler which cross compiles GUI and text-mode programs for OS/2 and all flavors of Windows. Also included are SCO Unix and Linux compilers which work for the text-mode programs. Imagine writing a GUI program under OS/2 and compiling it for Windows without any changes! I do this all the time; you have to try it to experience how cool it really is! You can even compile the Win32 stuff under the OS/2 development environment, and run it on a nearby Windows machine! The freeware product is for now being delivered on CD for a $30 media and handling charge (shipping is included, not extra). They will be posting the product on their Web site shortly, but it is 200+ Megs, so the disk is well worth it. Any programs you develop while learning will remain fully functional when you choose to purchase the commercial licence. The only functional difference will be that the freeware version puts a freeware notice in your executable, so we all remain honest about selling products before paying for the commercial developer's licence.
