Wright (wrightc@dtcweb.com) ********************************************************************** SPECIAL PRE-ANNOUNCEMENT FOR OS/2 FANS! Now that I have you attention... :) On Saturday, May 1st I'm planning to start doing an advertising blitz to announce my latest Java-based product, "The Java-PalmPilot Project". However, as a long-time OS/2 user, supporter and advocate I thought I would make sure that my friends in the OS/2 community got ahold of this news (and the ability to download a pre-release version) before everyone else does this weekend :). The Java-PalmPilot Project, under development for the last 8 months, is a set of developers tools and GUI based end-user applications for synchronizing your Palm Computing Platform device (Palm 1000 - 5000, PalmPilot Personal and Pro, and Palm III) with your personal computer. It runs on any personal computer capable of running Java 1.1 and either the Sun Java Communications API or the JSerial Handler API (which, of course, includes OS/2). The entire project has been developed 100% under OS/2 WARP v4, using IBM's VisualAge for Java 2.0 Professional for OS/2, and has been verified as 100% Pure Java Certifiable by Sun's JavaPureCheck program. The program features full Palm Computing Platform synchronization with third-party Personal Information Managers via third party jConduit plug-ins, installation of PRC and PDB files, full compressed Palm Computing Platform device backup and restore, and date and time synchronization. It also features third-party jConduit plug-in support, third-party national language plug-in support (support currently available for English and Esperanto), and a fully open, documented API for developers to use individual components (such as the jHotSync Protocol Stack) in their own projects. A free pre-release version is currently avalable for SOHO and personal use from the project homepage at: http://yaztromo.idirect.com/java-pilot.html The project homepage is currently under reconstruction in anticipation of the product's official launch on May 1st, however it does have the download link and basic setup instructions available, along with an E-Mail address to contact for help and support. Additionally, we're looking for Java Developers interested in writing jConduits for synchronizing with popular personal information packages, and developers interested in porting the language plug-in module to other national languages. A developers page has been setup at: http://yaztromo.idirect.com/java-pilot-dev.html Interested developers are encouraged to visit and peruse this site, and to contact us at yaztromo@idirect.com for additional information and support. Any and all questions, comments and inquiries are welcome! Brad BARCLAY, Lead Developer, The Java-PalmPilot Project. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
