Phex 0.64 (Java gnutella client)
They just released a new update -- the Phex team hasn't updated the Phex
homepage yet but I put a copy of the new version on my page: http://www.ktb.net/~crenquis/phex2.html (my page is still a mess)
Put simply, Phex is a java-based gnutella client. http://forums.gnutelliums.com/
While it is not the prettiest client around, Phex is certainly one of the
most useful... Most importantly, it works just fine under OS/2.
The new versions of Phex only work under Java13 (versions that work under
Java11 are on the above site)"

Kaspersky Antivirus for OS/2
It seems that nobody noticed (except the Russians) that there is new beta
of Kaspersky Antivirus software for OS/2. I don't have exact link at the
moment (I picked up the file at work) but if you can't find it just let me
know, and I will dig it out from somewhere.
It is on http://downloads1.kaspersky-labs.com/beta/OS2/KAVOS2/
A potential user should download antivirus base file, because it is not
included into above mentioned OS/2 version.
PMCRC32 Version 1.9.10
There is a new version of the SFV check program now with sound support and
some auto functions.

Hypermake 4.0
Martin Vieregg has released Hypermake 4.0
With Hypermake (earlier version "MakeIPF"), you can easily create HTML
files or IBM IPF files, Winhelp, RTF-Text files and Microsoft HTML-Help
files. Instead of editing the HTML, IPF or RTF files directly, you enter a
more simple ASCII source text. Links are created automatically; windows of
different headings levels can be shown simultaneusly (frames) with only
one command; at the end of a chapter, links to subchapters are created
automatically and a lot of more.

* Use shadows for creating a virtual tree of files or putting together
an audio sampler

Awesome OS/2 links resource
I have been working on a simple project to help users get up and running
in the OS/2 world... I have created a replacement for the default
bookmarks provided by Netscape and Mozilla... somewhat more
OS/2centric...
There is a simple readme outlining what I am attempting http://www3.sympatico.ca/brittonm/1st_readme.txt First I have a complete
bookmark file containing the current URL's that I am aware of http://www3.sympatico.ca/brittonm/all_bm_current.html This file is really
intended for new OS/2|eCs users, or those returning to OS/2 after a
period elsewhere, anyway for new installations. The aim is to provide an
os2centric starting point with the bookmarks, and the file can be used
with Netscape or Mozilla
It can be accessed over a browser, but it isn't really pretty, eventually
I will create a home page to deal with this. It is primarily intended to
be the users bookmarks file, that can be modified by the user to suite
their needs, so I am not keen to trim too much, that should be the users
choice.
I have put together simple readme's to describe how to proceed with the
integration of the bookmark file into the browser
http://www3.sympatico.ca/brittonm/mozilla.txt
http://www3.sympatico.ca/brittonm/netscape.txt
====>>>>> Here's the juicy bit.....
Anyway in response to this announcement I was contacted about this
site....
http://os2.mensys.nl/switchboard/index.html this has 800+ links, awsome,
it has international links, and it is still actively maintained, with a
mailing list for change notification.... so I have subscribed... and I
reckon it would pay most users to check it out.... it also has an online
notification of link change, so users can help keep everything
uptodate... this link should be at the top of anyone's list of useful
links....!!!
I urge users reading this to spread the word, participate in keeping links
current, and submitting new links to this excellent resource......
Thanks for reading this,
regards,

AiR-BOOT v0.28b RELEASEd
I released a new version of AiR-BOOT today. This one has some work-around
fix for the M$ Extended Partition problem, various new features, a Linux
Kernel from FAT-16 Loader and is now localized to 4 languages.
You may download it via http://kiewitz.ath.cx/KiewitzSoft/
P.S.: Sorry for duplicate posting. It's too early in the morning :)
------------------------------
OPEN PUBLIC BETA RELEASE 5Br>
PLEASE DO =NOT= UPLOAD THIS RELEASE TO PUBLIC SERVERS !
If you have a prior version of AiR-BOOT installed on your system, just
make a new AiR-BOOT INSTALL disc and boot from it. You should get
prompted, that you may update your copy of AiR-BOOT. Configuration will
remain intact.
Fixes this time:
- Localized versions in Dutch, German, French & Italian
- Installer improvements
- Option for CD-ROM/ZIP/Network-boot to resume boot process via BIOS -
OS/2 / eCS boot >8GB fix, IBM has their own way to detect Int13 Ext. -
Workaround against Partition Magic's *WRONG* way of filling out Begin-CHS
on LBA partitions resulting in AiR-BOOT ignoring those :-( - A primary
partition is marked active even if none is booted to make some BIOSes
happy
- FAT-16 support for booting Linux Kernels
- Linux Kernel Partition Boot-Support removed (LINUXIMG.exe as well) -
Cooper-Bars FX
- Lots of internal changes
