Free generic preprocessor (html/rexx/ipf/inf/ipfc)

Generic preprocessor with specific support for HTML and rexx. Includes external files and supplies usual #define, #include, #if, #ifdef etc as well as many others such as #import to import data from databases. Can import SQL. Text to HTML. Its syntax is very simple yet the tool is very powerful. It is extendable using rexx, for example "#if GetEnv("FRED") == substr(Var, 2)". Macros support parameters and conditional logic. Create FTP like pages from dir trees (or WPS URL objects), validate generated HTML or rexx, automatically create thumbnails, photo albums. Spell check. HTML example inclusion from file with automatic tagging. As this tool is basically a "Super SSI" there is a "SSI" add-available which simplifies migration to PPWIZARD. "OL_DOC.DH" header for creation of IPF/HTML from common source. Looks to be handy as a XML, XSL and DTD preprocessor. Also runs in Windows, DOS, Unix and Mac OS X.

Modified OS/2 CD-ROM / CD-RW / DVDs device manager driver

This is a modified version of OS/2 CD-ROM / CD-RW / DVDs device manager driver (OS2CDROM.DMD), based on the latest OS/2 DDK on-line source code (DDK_020517).
This driver supports:
- Automatic SCSI-3/MMC-complient drive capability recognition by default, like as ATAPI drive.
- "CD-Extra" (audio-CD w/additional data session) mounting.
- Feature enabling on a per-unit-basis. These features are:
= turn on "CD-DA readable", "CD-XA readable" and "multisessioning-aware" flags
= set vendor-specific SCSI CD-DA digital reading / CD-XA reading / multi- sessioning / UPC reading methods for non-SCSI-3/MMC-complient drives
- "WORM-devices as CD-ROM" treatment for some old WORM-style CD-R drives.
- Per-unit-basis "ignore drive" feature.
- Enriched /V option output.
- Additional IOCtl functions that control multisessioning treatment and track 1 negative start LBA fix (Midbar CDS-200 spoiler).
- Of course functionally equivalent to official OS2CDROM.DMD, including CD-RW / DVDs writing and formatting, and USB connection support.

New Injoy Dialer and Firewall Betas

Hello

We have put the most recent 3.0 betas online at:

http://www.fx.dk/beta

This is supposed to be one of the very final betas before we go GA. It's a good time to update and let us know of whatever serious problems you may encounter.

Testing on Windows and Linux is particulary needed at this point.

A more formal announcement will follow in a couple of days.

Looking forward to hear the results of the testing.
