Donate a copy of eCS to Mrs. Ballmer! ;)
Subject: Donate a copy of eCS to Mrs. Ballmer! ;)
Hi folks,
just ROTFL because of what I read today in german newspaper "die zeit"
(times) online news: M$'s Steve Ballmer complains about XP being too
difficult to use for his wife!! According to the news, he's in search of
the "finally right PC" for his spouse...
Well, heck! If Bob St. John could dig out Mrs. Ballmers e-mail adress, I'd
gladly donate my copy of eCS to her so she can check out what *real*
operating systems are about. :)=)
Unfortunately I couldn't find an english version of that news, so the URL
is only for german readers, I'm afraid. Have fun anyway!

New StHWMon/StHealth
I've release a new build of my StHWMon/StHealth package.
StHWMon/StHealth is a hardware monitoring tool with GUI and REXX support
for eCS and OS/2. It shows information about various sensors on your
motherboard including fan speeds, temperatures and voltages. You can set
up "events" for every input sensor enabling system shutdown/reboot, cool
down your CPU (with VIA chipsets). If you've installed viaapm.sys (part
of the 8233Cool package) it uses this driver to enable/disable CPU
throttling dynamically to cool down your CPU. The package also includes
a widget for XWorkplace.

WordStar: WSformat ready for download !
Hello,
the first public WSformat version 0.81 is finished and ready for download.
11 years after publishing the last Wordstar for DOS, I can offer a
substitute (or a successor?) Simply try it and decide.
The last month, I had a lot of hard work. I strongly hope that WSformat
does not only fit my own purpose!
Windows version (Win98, NT or later) http://www.vr-transport.de/Martin/archiv/wsf-win.zip
If you have got Win95, please try it anyway and report problems. On my
Win95 system, I have got problems with fonts, but this can be specific to
my installation.
OS/2 version (ecS, Warp 3 or later) http://www.vr-transport.de/Martin/archiv/wsf-os2.zip
Your comments and bug reports are strongly recommended. I have NOT
published this program via Internet. This mailinglist is the only platform
where I have shipped this information. In some weeks, I publish 0.82 where
I implement your comments and fix the bugs you have reported.
---- Program description ------
WSformat is a formatting and printing program for Wordstar (DOS) files.
WSedit and WSformat together are a full-featured word processing suite,
running under current operating systems, but based on the Wordstar DOS
philosophy ('what you see is what you want' and not 'what you see is what
you get'). Nevertheless, WSformat does have a provision for document
preview.
Wordstar Compatiblity: WSformat accepts all Wordstar (DOS) files, but does
not support all Wordstar DOS functions, i.e., those which were added after
Wordstar Version 4. Instead, some extended functions (such as generating
tables of contents or handling footnotes) are implemented in a
WSformat-specific way. Basic Wordstar 5-7 'symmetrical sequences' are
recognized (indentions, for example).
WSformat is Shareware and WSedit is Freeware.
WSformat supports hyphenation, the creation of end notes and footnotes,
generation of tables of contents and indexes, line drawing, embedding
graphics in text and allows conditional statements. In contrast to the
older versions of DOS Wordstar, document preview and printing use
functions provided by the Windows (or OS/2) operating systems. This means
you have access to the printers and type fonts which are installed on the
operating system.
The WSformat command syntax is very similar to that of Hypermake. From a
WS file, Hypermake will generate an equivalent file in RTF, Winhelp, HTML,
IBM Help or Microsoft HTML-Help format. Martin Vieregg ZOC 4.07 ZOC is a Powerful Terminal Emulator and Telnet/SSH Client for Power Users! Program URL: http://www.emtec.com/
