Weasel filter to deal with the current mailbombing problem
If, like me, you have been flooded with unwanted mail as a side-effect of
the latest explosion of Windows viruses, you will want some way to control
this. My quick-and-dirty solution, in the form of a filter for the Weasel
mail server, can be found at
ftp://eepjm.newcastle.edu.au/weasel/filters/msvirus.cmd
or at
http://eepjm.newcastle.edu.au/os2/wfilters.html
(look for the MSVirus link)
This was prepared in a hurry, and is not a perfect solution, but it will
at least get rid of a big proportion of the junk. If anyone wants to
improve it, or adapt it to work with other mail software, I have no
objection. As a matter of courtesy I would appreciate a copy of any
derived work, but I am perfectly willing to collaborate on anti-junk work
with people who don't use my software.

Sessions @ Warpstock
If you haven't made your mind up yet about attending Warpstock this year,
here's a summary of the sessions we have scheduled, SO FAR. As you can
see, there are more programming sessions than you can shake a stick at!
They include several cutting-edge sessions that will enlighten us on
everything from PHP development to the "X" technologies, and even XUL, the
heart of the Mozilla GUI Toolkit. Also, we have Chip Davis, of RexxLA
(Language Association) fame, exposing PARSE for us, and Dr. Ilya
Zakharevich, who ported the Perl language compiler to OS/2!

* Using the -ol option (loop optimization) sometimes resulted in
generation of incorrect code.
* The printf() function could access too much data when
formatting strings, causing page faults.
* NANs, INFs and denormals were not handled correctly by the math
emulation library.
* The assembler did not generate implicit segment override prefixes
when accessing data in code segment.
* The clock() function sometimes produced incorrect results on OS/2 if
the TZ environment variable was set.
* The Open Watcom editor (vi/viw) has been changed to store temporary
files in directory designated by the TMP environment variable, instead of
using the TMPDIR environment variable.
