Renewing Software Choice

My Software Choice subscription was expiring this month and my former dealer, Indelible Blue, was out of business.

After several calls to IBM and some false referrals, I got the number of IBM Direct. They were friendly and helpful ... and they knew about OS/2 and Software Choice. My subscription has been renewed.

If anyone else has this problem, call IBM Direct at (800) 426-2255.

Having the part number will speed your order. You can get that at the Software Choice web site by clicking on the Subscribe link: http://service.boulder.ibm.com/asd-bin/doc/en_us/subscrib.htm

I hope this helps some other "lone wolf" OS/2 users!

Jdictionary 1.2

Note: And naturally on OS/2 with a java runtime 1.3 or higher . K.S.

JDictionary is plugin based, and has an easy to use plugin managment system, that is able to download and install the desired plugins automagically from the web. Installing or upgrading one or more plugins (even simultaneously) is just one click!

There are more and more plugins available for jDictionary. It's not necessary for a plugin to be a dictionary related stuff. For example, currently there is a speech synthesizer plugin under development which will be invoked by other plugins to pronounce the desired words.

JDictionary is licensed under the LGPL license, so you can download and use this program for free, and download its source code too.

A new release (1.9) of Vice/2

A new release (1.9) of Vice/2 - the OS/2 port of VICE - the versatile commodore emulator - is available.

Vice/2 uses DIVE and DART at the moment.

This is mainly the implementation of 'Real PAL emulation' (Please checkout the blurry-mode with your favourite demo - it is fantastic!) For this I had to change the screen access from palette mode to real color modes. I can't gurantee that this works on other machines than my. If it doesn't work for you please tell me about the problem so that I can fix it for the next release!

Please send bugreports and suggestions to mailto:tbretz@gsi.de

You can find the binaries at: http://www.d4m.de/vice2/

Inet.Mail(TM) Perseus Version 2.0 Now In General Release

Inet.Mail(TM) Perseus for OS/2 is a full featured SMTP/POP3 server for the OS/2 environment. It features a Java Manager interface for all functions and has been designed from the ground up to take advantage of OS/2's multi-tasking and multi-threading. Inet.Mail Perseus completely replaces traditional sendmail and takes the mystery and agony from configuring internet mail.

Inet.Mail Perseus has the ability to support multiple mail domains with a single server. Each mail domain contains its own username space so that user@domain1.com is different than user@domain2.com. This solution is idea for Internet Service Providers wishing to support multiple customer domains on a single machine or for companies which need to show two or more corporate identities.

Inet.Mail Perseus also has the ability to host multiple virtual domains on a single ip address. In our teminology, a mail domain is a server which has a unique ip address assigned to it. A virtual mail domain is a server which uses the same ip address as the mail domain it is associated with. So you can now create a mail domain, and then associate as many virtual domains with it as you like. This enables you to support multiple domains on a single server machine without having to assign a unique ip address for each domain.

Inet.Mail Perseus also has the ability to selectively queue mail for domains to pick up on demand using the SMTP extension command ETRN. This is particularly effective for customers who wish to run their own mail server but only connect via a dial-up line. The dial-up customers can choose when their mail is downloaded to their server.

Wolfram Schmidt has released DirDiff 2.0

DirDiff 2.0 is a Directory compare program for OS/2 and eCS and compares all files in two sub-directorys or whole directory trees. It can be used for many file management activities and is a must have tool for software developers.

This new version 2.x replaces the old DirDiff version 1.0 and eliminates limitations the old version had because of the used list control. We developed a fully new List-Control for displaying the search results which is able to display any number of rows. In addition we improved the memory management so that the version 2.0 uses only 1/10th of the memory the old version used. Also a main feature of the new version is, that the search result can be viewed in all kinds of sort orders.

DirDiff 2.0 is shareware. The registration fee is Euro 22 (including tax), for delivery and payment within Germany. For delivery and payment outside of Germany the registration fee is Euro 28.00.

Ghostscript 7.05

Ghostscript is the name of a set of software that provides:

* An interpreter for the PostScript (TM) language and the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF -- sometimes confused with Acrobat, Adobe's PDF browser/editor product), and

* A set of C procedures (the Ghostscript library) that implement the graphics and filtering (data compression / decompression / conversion) capabilities that appear as primitive operations in the PostScript language and in PDF.

Obtaining GNU Ghostscript:

Ghostscript is a copyrighted work (artofcode LLC owns the copyright); it is not shareware or in the public domain. Versions entitled "GNU Ghostscript" are distributed with the GNU General Public License, which allows free use, and free copying and redistribution under certain conditions (including, in some cases, commercial distribution).

ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/gnu/gs705/

New:

This is the first release of the stable 7.0x series under the GNU GPL, following one year after the release of 7.00. The license change in the major reason for this release, and we hope the community of Free Software users will enjoy the much improved features of the new stable branch.

Another major change over the 7.04 release is a improved asian language support from the gs-cjk team. This is a new version of the work released with 6.53.

And of course there are the usual bug fixes and minor improvements.
