Updated IBM idedasd drivers
IBM has updated the idedasd driver package
New:

Web family tree
Web Family Tree (WFT) version 0.41 is now available for download at
http://eepjm.newcastle.edu.au/os2/wft.html
or ftp://eepjm.newcastle.edu.au/software/wft041.zip
or http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?key=wft041
WFT is a freeware CGI application for displaying your family tree on the
web. To use it you must also have a web server installed, but there are
plenty of web servers available for OS/2. (Even if this is for your own
private use, with no public access desired, you can set up any web server
to run on the loopback interface.)
At the first of the download locations listed above, you can see a
demonstration of what the results look like, and you can also, if you
wish, download the source code.
FtpServer version 1.10 released
FtpServer version 1.10 is now available for download at
http://eepjm.newcastle.edu.au/os2/FtpServer.html
or ftp://eepjm.newcastle.edu.au/software/ftpser110.zip
or http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?key=ftpser110
FtpServer is a shareware FTP daemon, doing the same job as the ftpd.exe
supplied with most versions of OS/2 but with extra features, including
much more detailed control over the user access rights. The main new
feature in this version is optional encryption of passwords.
LIST OF CHANGES (since version 1.05)
Version 1.10
Tidied up the 'tools' subdirectory.
Added a check for blank username.
Disabled error popup when Setup refers to a drive that is not present.
More sensible default for minimum data port behind firewall if
no minimum has been specified.

Stalker Software Announces OS/2 Version of the CommuniGate Pro Messaging Solution
MILL VALLEY, CA - September 19, 2002 - Stalker Software, Inc., the
technology leader in messaging solutions, today announced the release of
the CommuniGate Pro Mail Server for the IBM OS/2 platform. The OS/2
community can now benefit from CommuniGate Pro's unparalleled reliability,
ease of maintenance, tight security, and proven scalability.
The OS/2 is now the 30th platform supported by CommuniGate Pro. Others
include Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, BSDi, HP/UX, Tru64, AIX, IRIX,
MacOS X, UnixWare, BeOS, QNX running on Intel, PowerPC, Alpha, Sparc,
HPPA, Power4, Motorola 68K, Itanium, MIPS, StrongARM and Z/390 mainframe
systems. On all platforms, CommuniGate Pro presents the same interface and
uses the same file formats, allowing any organization to switch server
platforms in less than an hour.
CommuniGate Pro is designed for an entire range of systems - from 50
corporate users to 50 million wireless devices. The highly scalable
messaging platform can easily support 250,000+ accounts with an average
ISP-type load on a single server, and the CommuniGate Pro unique
clustering mechanisms allow it to support up to 5,000,000 accounts in the
Dynamic Cluster configuration, and a virtually unlimited number of
accounts in the Super-Cluster configuration.
"We are excited to add OS/2 version to our portfolio", says Vladimir
Butenko, president of Stalker Software, "Stability and reliability of the
IBM OS/2 operation system earned it a very loyal worldwide user base. Now,
with the OS/2 release of CommuniGate Pro those users will be able to
deploy the best available Internet messaging system on the OS that powered
most BBS sites in the pre-Internet era".
Components and Features
CommuniGate Pro communication and access modules provide all the types of
messaging services required for today's applications. The SMTP module
sends and receives messages via the Internet using the ESMTP protocol with
DSN and all other modern extensions, and employs sophisticated
high-performance multi-channel queuing techniques. The POP and IMAP
modules implement the standard POP3 and IMAP4rev1 protocols as well as the
most widely known and implemented extensions to these protocols which
provide unmatched compatibility with all standards-based mail client
applications.
The HTTP module supplements these modules with Web Access to user E-mail,
eliminating a need for mailer applications on client computers. A fully
customizable Web Mail Interface can be easily adopted to the look and feel
of the customer Web site, and it can be integrated with the existing
Web-based applications.
The RPOP module can be used to retrieve mail from remote hosts via the
POP3 protocol. The LDAP and ACAP module provide access to various user-,
domain-, and server-level databases and data sets, including the
automatically maintained Central Directory.
CommuniGate Pro includes a full-featured Meta-Directory Server integrating
an arbitrary set of local Directory Units and remote LDAP servers to
present a single, unified 'Directory tree' to all client applications.
True Clustering
CommuniGate Pro clustering can be used to build frontend/backend
multi-server configurations, as well as symmetric cluster sites. Based on
inter-server synchronization techniques, the CommuniGate Pro Cluster can
employ shared file systems (such as NFS servers and Cluster File Systems)
using the Cluster versions of the CommuniGate Pro software. The Single
System Image feature of the CommuniGate Pro Dynamic Cluster makes Cluster
administration as easy as single-server administration.
Web-Based Interface
Installing and configuring CommuniGate Pro for small and midsize sites
usually takes less than 20 minutes. The built-in Migration features
simplify migration from the previous generation Mail servers, including
Netscape/Sun/iPlanet servers, Software.com products, as well as from
freeware systems based on sendmail, qmail, and other MTAs.
The Command Line Interface is provided, too, making it easy to control the
Server using external applications and scripts. Bundled Perl and Java
"wrappers" streamline integration of the CommuniGate Pro server/cluster
with existing provisioning, billing, and accounting systems.
With 15-30 features added in every monthly upgrade (which is free),
CommuniGate Pro continues to keep the lead not only as the most scalable
and reliable mail system on the market, but as the most feature-rich and
comprehensive system that easily adopts to ever-changing needs of modern
corporations and ISPs.
Try Before You Buy
CommuniGate Pro is distributed as "keyware". The fully functional software
with no time or scale limits can be downloaded from http://www.stalker.com/CommuniGatePro/. Until a set of license keys is
purchased and entered into the product, each transferred message gets a
one-line banner. -END-

CharacterMap/2 2.0

documents not found on most keyboards. These include special characters
provided in symbol fonts.

StarLogo 2.0
StarLogo is a new version of Logo. Some of you may remember Logo as a
computer language for learning. However, StarLogo 2.0 now includes simple
paint functions (e.g. like Windows Paint), and graphing capability
(histograms, barcharts, line, scatter charts, etc.)
StarLogo is free and runs with Java 1.1 or higher.
The included .BAT file will work just fine on OS/2.
I have modified it only very slightly to use Java 1.3.1 on OS/2, so I can
verify it works.
