WarpZip Lite update

I've updated the look and feel of WarpZip Lite and haven't had time to let you all know that I uploaded it a couple of days ago.

For the new look, see: http://www.pillarsoft.net/wzlite.html

If you own WarpZip or the PillarSoft Suite, stop by and pick up the new version. It is contained in the WarpZip or PillarSoft Suite downloadable archive.

Regards,
Wayne Swanson

Maintainer/Developer Wanted - Frobozz Investor

________________________

To OS/2 & eCS Programmers,

Recently, it came to my attention that the author of Frobozz Investor had ceased development of this program in 1997-8. In subsequent correspondence with the author, it was felt that the loss of this fine program to the OS/2 community was regrettable. In order to revive it, the author offered to donate the source code to any programmer or team of programmers under the standard GNU GPL licensing agreement(s), who would agree to update this program for OS/2 Warp and eComStation using a new name as well as maintain support and would apply said licensing agreement(s) to any port of said program to any operating system. To assist such a project, Adrian Gschwend of netlabs.org has offered the use of a website and CVS for the source code.

The author's description of the program in 1997 is as follows: "Frobozz Investor is the complete investment package for the active OS/2 investor. The application contains modules for fund tracking, portfolio management and technical analysis. Investor also provides an extensive Rexx interface and download capabilities through CompuServe."

This program was written in C, built using Gpf and contains both DDE and REXX interfacing, as noted. A copy of version 1.50 is available on Hobbes at http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/apps/money/invest.zip.

If you are willing to meet the above criteria, please contact me before March 24, 2003 with a brief summary of your interest, background and plans for this program, using the address and subject below. Submissions will be sent to the author for his perusal, kept strictly confidential and answered by me within 1-2 week(s) of the above closing date.

Address: "Kenn Yuill" kenn.yuill@sympatico.ca
Subject: Frobozz Investor - Development
