Hi, Just noticed that RSJ CD Writing software (with DAO support!!) is now available from the RSJ website at http://www.rsj.de/ Note that this update will NOT be a free update - it will be payware.

It can be downloaded from: http://www2.rsj.de/pub/cdwos2/beta/cdwos2us.exe

>From the readme file:
New to Version 3.49BETA

This beta version contains the long awaited DAO mode for audio CDs. The following applications have been changed to support DAO mode:

* CD View *

CD View's track list received a new column that allows you to modify the pause time that is added before each track (except for the first one, which always has a dummy 2 second pause). The default is 2 seconds. To modify it, hold down the Alt key while clicking the according entry with the left mouse button (OS/2 standard behaviour) or use one of the commands in the context menu ('Pause Times' submenu). When you're done, click the DAO copy button in CD View's toolbar. There is no need to finalize the session after a DAO copy is complete.

To be able to perform a DAO copy operation, the following conditions must be met:

* Track copy command line utility (trackcpy.exe) *

The command line based copy utility supports DAO via its new 'daocopy' command. For a description on how to use it, start the utility and type

** Additional changes:

The CD Writer Control application now contains a new page showing LOCKCDR's boot messages and information about recorders that were auto detected during system boot up. This information might be very helpful in case of problems.

Editors Note: Part of the readme was edited out as there wasn't a need to repeat the whole readme just to show new features.

DECalc 2.0 Released

DECalc version 2.0 has been released with support for keyboard as well as mouse input and dual concurrent memories.

Do you like your calculator program? Do you sometimes wish you could keep one running total in memory without losing another? DECalc 2.0 lets you easily manage this by providing a dual memory scheme with dedicated "Memory +", "Memory -", "Memory Clear" and "Memory Recall" buttons for each. Additional features in version 2 are keyboard input of numbers and the five basic operators (+, -, /, *, =), an enhanced user interface, square and square root, x-to-the-power-of-y, percentage, a backspace key in case you have a user error while entering a number, 1/x inverse, and more.

DECalc 2.0 can be downloaded currently from:
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/decalc2.zip
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/decalc2.zip

and will soon be moved to:
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/apps/calc/decalc12.zip
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/apps/calc/decalc12.zip

DECalc is donation-ware. You are free to use it but encouraged to send a small donation (eg. $5) if you appreciate the author's work and wish to see further development.
