I see that there are some rumours about OS/2 Netlabs projects out
there, including Win32-OS/2, Opera and Mame. I think it is important to
let you know what is going on actually.

As you can see most of the OS/2 Netlabs pages are really out of date,
this is mainly because I started studying computer science one year ago
and also because OS/2 Netlabs is growing incredible. 

We have a lot of new projects at OS/2 Netlabs, a lot of them are still
behind the scene and because of this offical announcements are missing
until now.
Currently I am working together with the guys at http://www.os2.org,
they are supporting me in providing up to date webpages which will be
generated with PHP3 and MySQL.

I am sure I will find the time to finish the work with the new design
this summer vacation. Please understand that I can't do everything,
OS/2 Netlabs is simply too big to maintain it alone and because of this
I have to change some things actually. I am sure you will like the
result!

Beside this I have to work to get some money, live is expensive in
Switzerland :-) (If there are some very rich people out there which can
support me, let me know ;-))

Now some updates:

For those of you who don't know it yet: Win32-OS/2 got a new name, it
is now called Project Odin (htp://www.netlabs.org/odin/).

The XLib port (aka EverBlue) still needs more developers, if you are
interested, let us know! The (out of date) Homepage of the project is
located at http://www.netlabs.org/everblue/

As Marty already wrote in another message, MAME got an update. Maybe I
will find some time to update the pages at OS/2 Netlabs, until then you
can find the new version at Hobbes (http://hobbes.nmsu.edu).

Some of you already know it: OS/2 Netlabs is currently working on an
OS/2 port of the well known Opera Webbrowser. We use our new Odin
Project to do the OS/2 port and because of this we hope to have a
working version of Opera for OS/2 in the near future.
More information about Opera can be found at
http://www.operasoftware.com
Please *don't* register the Windows version if you want to use the OS/2
port in the future, there will be *no* crossgrade from Windows to OS/2.


Stay tuned and enjoy the work we did, more will come soon!

Adrian Gschwend
Webmaster @ OS/2 Netlabs

and for sure all the great OS/2 programmers out there.
