Junk Spy Version 2.0 Released
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
War Against Spam Adds New Front Junk Spy Version 2.0
With the release of Junk Spy 2.0, Sundial Systems has taken this field-proven
tool and made it available to both OS/2 and Windows desktop computer users. Junk
email (or "spam") is becoming an ever larger portion of what people receive
in their inbox. For many people, they now get more "spam" than real email.
And sorting it all can be a big waste of time. Junk Spy gives you back control of
your inbox by identifying and dealing with that junk email so you don't have to.
It becomes your "secret agent" in the war against spam.
"Our Junk Spy 1.0 customers have have told us how effective Junk Spy is,
day-in and day-out, under actual field conditions" said Junk Spy product manager,
Rollin White. "90% recognition of junk, with virtually no 'false hits' is common."
Junk Spy works by sitting between your email program and your mail server. It
detects and identifies junk email in much the same way as your anti-virus software
detects viruses. Each piece of mail is examined as it arrives at your desktop using
a variety of techniques, based on both the source of the message and its content,
to identify what is and isn't junk mail. Once identified and "marked,"
the junk mail can be processed in a number of different ways all designed to save
you the time and frustration of having to deal with junk mail clogging up your inbox.
Junk Spy 2.0 adds more than just Windows support. In addition to Realtime Blackhole
filtering, it now supports the ORBS (Open Relay Behaviour-modification System) list
as well to watch for mail from possible spam relay points that haven't been used
enough, or long enough, to make the classic black hole lists. And, a new Exception
Wizard makes it even easier to "train" Junk Spy to recognize the occasional
junk message that really is important to you.
Through July 31st, Junk Spy is offered at an estimated promotional street price
of just $39 - a discount of $20 from the $59 list price. This includes a full year
of automatic junk detection updates (a $24 value) at no extra charge.
Junk Spy 1.0 customers qualify for additional discounts and other promotions
as well.
For details, a demonstration, and to order, visit the brand new Junk Spy web
site at http://www.JunkSpy.com/

ENGLISH VERSION (GERMAN FOLLOWS)
================================
WarpIN and XWorkplace have both been updated to V0.9.11.
1. WarpIN V0.9.11 has been released.
WarpIN is intended to become the new universal OS/2 installer. It is becoming
more and more popular among OS/2 developers because of its flexibility and ease
of use. It has full system configuration (CONFIG.SYS, WPS classes, WPS objects)
and can fully undo all the changes to your system again.
V0.9.11 fixes a few annoying bugs.
2. XWorkplace V0.9.11 is out also.
XWorkplace is the most feature-rich freeware Workplace Shell enhancer on the
planet, and even better, it is OpenSource. XWorkplace is the successor to my popular
XFolder utility and has become a Netlabs project.
For details, please refer to the download address below.
V0.9.11 fixes a few bugs which have been reported over the last few weeks.
To install XWorkplace, you also need WarpIN V0.9.9 or higher.
To get the new WarpIN and XWorkplace, please go to:
WarpIN and XWorkplace are Netlabs projects, released under the GNU General Public
Licence. The source code is available on the Netlabs CVS server. See www.netlabs.org/nosa
and the above address for details.
We have created four mailing lists at groups.yahoo.com:
-- warpin-user
-- warpin-dev
-- xworkplace-user
-- xworkplace-dev
for WarpIn and XWorkplace users and developers, respectively.
We are grateful for feedback on these mailing lists.
Have fun!

WarpZip update
We have updated the PillarSoft website with downloads of the new version of WarpZip.
This version adds the ability to view and extract individual files in WarpIn
(Wpi) archives just like WarpZip allows you to do with any other archiving format.
Great for digging out a file or two when you don't need everything from an archive
or just to read the documentation or view the bitmaps in an archive without having
to unarchive the whole thing.
There is much more to the program than is being discussed here so stop at: http://www.pillarsoft.net/warpzip.html
for more information.
We have also updated the PillarSoft Suite with the latest versions of all our
programs. More information and downloads of the PillarSoft Suite are available at:
http://www.pillarsoft.net/suite.html
WarpZip is $29 and is available through BMT Micro, Mensys and others. The PillarSoft
Suite contains this program plus 12 more OS/2 utilities for only $99.
DivX player/2
good news for the OS/2, Warp, Merlin, WSeB, Aurora, eCS, MCP, ACP users! a "DivX
;-)" player is in the works! screenshot and link to the program @ http://dink.org/z/
(i'm not affiliated with the program in any way) its really super alpha and the
documentation is in russian... but sooner or later (in a few weeks) it'll support
most win32 codecs and play audio instead of just video and be less buggy.

News about RexxMail:
Build 20010423.121014 of RexxMail is now available:
http://www.degeus.com/rexx/rexxmail_20010423_121014.zip
RexxMail has been updated with built-in POP3 and SMTP services, so users are
no longer dependent on external programs (e.g. sendmail) to handle mail transactions
(external programs can still be used, though). This version also includes a simple
mailing list feature, although without the option of sending personalized messages
I announced earlier. I'm still working on that feature, and I hope to release an
update so
For those of you who missed my earlier posting, to get an impression of what
RexxMail does, visit: http://www.degeus.com/rexx/rexxmail_english.html

The never released/or well hidden Quicktime for OS/2 from Apple...
Once up a time Apple joined forces with IBM to make Quicktime for OS/2...
The project got scrapped... On http://www.leo.org
there is a kind of beta of Apple...
It has dirty player....
But I found a version on the internet which looks way better... I tested it,
it works great. It DOES not play the latest greatest versions of Quicktime but I
could play quite a lot of quicktime files.
Goto http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/, its in incoming...
(file name quicktime.zip)
If its no longer there, look here
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/apps/mmedia/video/players/
Oooh yes, this product should not be confused with Quickmotion's Quicktime version!
Enjoy...
