Syndicate Wars - Unofficial Patch OUT
Just some good news.
Syndicate Wars is now running under OS/2 / eCS.
It had the same bug like the Doom sound engine.
Have fun :)
You may get it from hobbes/incoming or my own ftp.

Gabriel Knight 1/2 - Nearly working, needing help
I got Sierra's Gabriel Knight 1 and 2 nearly working. The actual game is,
but if you move the mouse the VDM goes into text-mode. The game works as
normal.
I checked their mouse-handler and it looks okay. Perhaps they are using
VESA routines to move the mouse-cursor around.
I have SDD installed on any computer here, so I can't check, if it's
perhaps some sort of SDD bug.
Could anyone that has Gabriel Knight 1 *or* 2 and is able to boot OS/2
without SDD contact me, so I can send him my beta-patch.
cu Kiewitz
P.S.: Pandora Directive/Under a Killing moon is working as well. I just
got Soundblaster freezes.

DFSee presentations (Warpstock) and version 4.09 is out
The DFSee related presentations used at Warpstock Europe are now available
for online viewing and download at:

DFSee is an FDISK-like display, analysis and recovery tool with powerfull
FIX commands and UNDELETE for HPFS and NTFS.
Details can be found at: http://www.fsys.demon.nl/dfsee.htm
Version 4.09 has user interface enhancements for the commandline: - Fixed
garbage text bug in status line & scroll buffer (OS2 only) - History
recall with Ctrl+UP now always gets the previous cmd - Ctrl-LEFT: one word
backward; Ctrl-RIGHT: one word forward
- Ctrl-B: clear to begin of field; Ctrl-E: clear to end of field - Esc in
scroll-buffer (after a Registering DFSee will give you the right to use all 4.xx versions and get
support plus a reasonable amount of assistance by email. But even more important, it enables further development of DFSee! There is also a PROFESSIONAL registration that allows commercial use of
DFSee for roll-out or datarecovery services. For details, see: http://www.fsys.demon.nl/dfsee.htm#register The next version of DFSee (4.10) will use a more consistent command
parser, resulting in a slightly changed syntax for some commands ... Regards, Jan van Wijk From: Jan van Wijk jvw@fsys.demon.nl OS/2 Nominations Sought for 2002 SharewareJunkies.com Awards Nominations for the year's best shareware programs are being sought for

http://www.gwinn.com. This release includes additions that allow support
for a wider range of PCI cards. See HISTORY.TXT in the distribution zip
for a complete list of additions and changed. The drivers are also available at hobbes (http://hobbes.nmsu.edu) and Pete
Norloff's os2bbs (http://www.os2bbs.com). PMLM was added in the 2.01 release of SIO2K. PMLM allows developers and

DTR and DCD, are also recorded in the PMLM trace. SIO2K is shareware communication drivers and utilities for OS/2 developed
by Ray Gwinn. Doom is WORKING with SB-Sound, 100% NOW :) This is a really great day. I finally got it working. 100% without freezes. With Soundblaster
Sound/FX. REALLY. Not kidding. I will write a generic patcher, so that this buggy routine will get fixed
under Hexen, Heretic, etc. I just thought of giving you something to play with, while I'm doing the
generic patcher. And I don't want people to think that I didn't get it
really :) So...get it from: ftp://os2:rescue@kiewitz.ath.cx/outgoing/DoomRulez.exe Have FUN. cu Kiewitz Nconvert 3.16 Pierre Gougelet has released Nconvert 3.16 Nconvert is a multi-format image converter,who supports over 340 graphic
formats in reading and 40 in writing http://perso.wanadoo.fr/pierre.g/ AiR-BOOT v0.23b Public-Beta Release I'm releasing AiR-BOOT today as Public-*BETA* AiR-BOOT is a Multi-Boot partition loader with some extra features built
in. Like colored "award-like" SETUP, Virus-Protection,
Linux-Kernel-Support etc. It was written in 100% assembly and was last
modified 1 1/2 years ago. It's working here 100% stable. I think some more
users should benefit from it. Later versions will perhaps include some Partitioning tool as well. *Please read the manual*, before installing the software and please backup
your system, just to make sure. Currently AiR-BOOT is somehow Freeware. Registration-Information is
included still, but this version is not crippled in any way, nor is it
time-bombed. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE FEED-BACK as well as thoughts about the program
and additional feature wishes. cu Kiewitz P.S.: I don't know if it works with Windows 2000/XP.
It's working fine with OS/2 Warp, Win95/98/PC-DOS/OpenDOS/Linux (special
kernel support). http://kiewitz.ath.cx/cgi-bin/download.cmd?FileID=softw_airboot From: Martin Kiewitz martin@kiewitz.de Updated 3COM EL90x.OS2 3COM has updated their Ethernet NIC drivers for the 3C90x 10 Mbps and

Freeware and OS/2 user advertisements. This has been delayed a bit do to
our involvement with Warpstock. Hopefully we can have something together
for December. But we need your help. This new page would allow developers of freeware apps to advertise their
products by having a free banner/text ad on this page. Also OS/2-eCS users
and OS/2 user groups could place text ads seeking other OS/2-eCS users in
their geographical area to start/promote a user group or maybe just find
someone to help them with a support problem or have coffee with. So let
us know if you think this is a good idea. If you would like to place an
advertisement send it to ads@os2voice.org . If you would just like to
comment, please send email to feedback@os2voice.org. As with most
everything at VOICE, these ads are free, supported by the members who have
joined VOICE. We have also revised our sponsorship levels to make it more affordable to
sponsor VOICE, and have banner ads on some pages of the Newsletter for
shareware and commercial OS/2 developers. You can view the status of that
on our Sponsorship page - http://www.os2voice.org/sponsorinfo.html. Smart Cache 0.56 Radim Kolar has released smartcache 0.56 Smart Cache is full featured proxy cache server. It can be also used as
replacement for your browser's internal diskcache. If you do it, you will
have faster, more anonymous and offline browsing available. Program is
written using Java language, it is reported to run under Windows, Linux,
OS/2, MacOs. http://home.worldonline.cz/~cz210552/scache.html NewView 1.30.6 NewView is a replacement for View.exe, the original OS/2 help viewer. Major enhancements are: http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?key=NewView1.30.6.zip NewView release changes

Increased number of worker threads that send mail to 16.

at a time.
For relay host, use direct lookup rather than MX lookup.
Extra guard against memory overflow in high-traffic
conditions.
Mail no longer sent through backup relay for recipients
where the original server has rejected this user.
