[WarpCast] Donating sources to the OS/2 community - 11/16/99 |
PMView: The ultimate in image viewing Major update coming soon! Watch http://www.pmview.com/ for details ********************************************************************* Source: Cristiano Guadagnino (criguada@tin.it) Moderator: Trevor Smith (trevor@haligonian.com) ------------------------------------------------------- Recently I contacted two former OS/2 developers, whose (very good) products are mostly forgotten now. They are no longer interested in continuing development, and they gave me the sources, which I'm now donating to anyone interested, because I have no time to do it myself. Ideally, I would give the sources to Netlabs, but I thought it would be good to let it be known to other developers. *I'll choose who to give them to.* The first program is PageMage, a very good and very promising (at the time of its demise) virtual desktop program. At the time of its demise, PageMage was at the fourth beta, quite useful and quite stable. The sources include beta 3 (more stable) and beta 4 (more features). The second program is WPSBackup, a very good program to archive you OS/2 Desktop. WPSBackup was a shareware program, but I'll donate the sources ONLY to someone who gives me warranty to remove the locking code and release a freeware version (NOTE: I was a registered user). WPSBackup is works well with many Warp 4 installations, but in some cases it fails reporting a failure in copying OS2.INI. The real error message is "Failed to enumerate keys for appl:PM_Workplace:Location". Since WPSBackup is a good and snappy tool (had to recover my Desktop a couple times: it worked very well), I'd love to see it revamped. Both the authors of Pagemage and WPSBackup ask that they're remembered in the docs of the new (eventual) application, and that they're not held responsible for what people may do with their sources. So, contact me if you're interested at: criguada@tin.it ------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ -------------------------------------------------------
