EveryBuddy - Port Suggestion
I had found this OpenSource project
Everybody is an OpenSource Instant Messaging Client. It currently is available
for Linux only.
"As of right now, Everybuddy has support for AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo! and Jabber
chat programs. It also has file transfer between other Everybuddy users, and planned
support for file transfer to other users."
This will be a good project for anyone that is planning to develop/port something
for OS/2.

PMMergeFix from Hobbes "Review"
Hi !
Just wanted to let you all know, that the fix on hobbes IS working, but it has
some draw-backs.
- Compatibility issue with XFolder 0.85 (Error with OS2SYS.INI on shutdown)
- Font changed under Netscape (Chat -> www.liebe.de) Dont know why.
So, if you use XFolder, DO NOT INSTALL IT.

(I know there is XWorkPlace, but I like to have a german version. I dont know
if the bug persists on XWorkPlace as well)

F 4.5g beta released
On June 29th, Duy Nguyen has released version 4.5g beta of F, the Swiss army
knive of file managers. F is a freeware text-mode multi-platform application. Supported
operating systems are OS/2, AIX, BSD, Linux, and Win32.
F is not only a very configurable file manager, but also offers an FTP/FXP client,
an editor with syntax-highlighting, numerous tools for developers, simple e-mail
and news clients, as well as small HTTP and FTP servers. F comes with its own FFP
(F to F protocol) for file transfers and remote file execution, providing services
for remote administration. Note that the interface is keyboard-only.
Besides bugfixes there are also some new features which include virtual file
system (VFS) support for numerous more archiver formats without the need for external
helpers, including WarpIN (!), bzip2 (also in connection with TAR), and RAR.
You can download F from the beta section of the F home page at http://filemanager.free.fr/
