PMView: The ultimate in image viewing Major update coming soon! Watch http://www.pmview.com/ for details ********************************************************************* Source: Adrian Gschwend (ktk@netlabs.org) Moderator: Christopher B. Wright (wrightc@dtcweb.com) ********************************************************************** Some days ago the Odin Team at OS/2 Netlabs released the first public alpha version of Odin since the code is open source. For those of you who still don't know it, Odin and Odin32 is an approach to get Win32 support in OS/2 (it is no emulator!). The homepage of the project is located at http://www.netlabs.org/odin/ We are very proud to say that the project made great progress, a lot more applications are running with Odin actually, especially slim programs. A lot of Odin users reported applications, which are running on OS/2 without problems, for example: - Acrobat Distiller 3.01 (PDF-File generator) - SmartDraw (Chart designing program) - CDRLabel (CD labeling application, even printing works very well) - WinHelp (Help system of Windows) - Word 6.0 for Windows NT 3.51 (32bit edition) - ... and more One of the very promising applications is Lotus Notes R5, we are already able to start the application, you can find a screenshot of it at the Odin page (it's mentioned in the "News" section). As you may know we also working on a port of the Opera webbrowser to OS/2. With Odin32 we can actually compile the whole V4.0 Win32-Sourcecode without significant changes in the code. If you are interested in our progress, check the Odin application database at http://www.netlabs.org/odin/MiscApplications.phtml You are also welcome to add your application to the database! For impatient users we have daily builds available, note that we don't support any of the Odin versions actually because progress is changing almost every day. We are not that much interested in bug reports because of this reason. But we still need more skilled developers, the more support we get the faster we are! If you think that you can support our project, get more information about how to join at the Odin page. That's it for the moment, thanks for all the support so far!
