XSane 0.81
Here is a new version of XSane for OS/2. XSane is a powerful graphic
front-ends for SANE (scanner ACCESS Now Easy), which requires a
functioning libsane.dll (e.g. from SANE-1.05) and an XServer (e.g.
XFree86/OS2 or HOBX11).
Highlight:
- output formats: JPEG, tiff, Postscript, pnm, raw, png
- copy by mouse-click (by Ghostscript)
- png directly as email send away
XSane is BETA. I.e. it runs for me (SANE 1,06, EPSON GT-9500), but has
NOT been tested elsewhere however. Feedback is desired!

Help stop Microsoft hegemnoy
From: cloweth@mac.com (cloweth)
Hi,
I posted the following on several forums last week as well as many Users
Groups and the response has been well beyond my expectations.
People are really responding. Sentiments like "Congratulations on a
well-presented campaign." and "I didn't think to send a message to the
Attorney Generals of the remaining 9 states. Thanks for sending the email
addresses for those folks. I just emailed 9 more letters thanks to you!"
and "Thank you for the addresses. I have expressed my concerns to the
Attorney General of the state in which I live and will urge others to do
the same."
Please feel free to share this info among friends/colleagues if you wish.
Should Microsoft receive harsher penalties?
I am very disappointed with the Feds proposed settlement. Fortunately nine
states' AG's agree with me. I have sent the following to the states' AG's
dissatisfied with the terms of the USDOJ settlement agreement.
"It seems to me that Microsoft has indulged in not only anti-trust
violations but racketeering as well. Is this a possible avenue of
approaching their abuses?"
As you can see, my position well exceeds current prosecution parameters.
Even if you don't agree with my extreme position, but desire more vigorous
prosecution, I urge you to write to the Attorneys General to inform them
of your support. You don't have to reside in these states to write them.
Write to all of them if you wish. The Attorneys General exist to provide
services to their constituency. I believe that for the most part they take
this responsibility very seriously. They want to get the bad guys. It is
my opinion that Microsoft, Gates, Ballmer, et al, are the bad guys.
Below are the email addresses of the nine states Attorneys General
dedicated to continuing with more stringent anti-trust prosecution.
Included is USDOJ address to express your displeasure to the Feds. For
international readers I have included a link to a USDOJ website listing
other countries who are undertaking anti-trust action.
Please include your name and address. This contributes to your
authenticity. They may want to send you a snail mail confirmation. Please
put it in your own words. And keep it brief. They understand the issues,
so you don't need to re-hash them. It would probably be most effective if
you stated that they press on with their lawsuit to impose maximum
penalties.
A formulation was made years ago by various entities like newspapers,
magazines, politicians, and such. They figured that for every person who
bothered to write to them represented "X" amount of people who didn't take
the time and effort to write but shared similar opinions. "X" can equal
anywhere from one thousand to ten thousand or more depending the specific
circumstances of the recipient. So, as you can see, the simple act of
writing can have a multiplier effect. That's why your single contribution
is so important.
If you agree that Microsoft has gotten off too lightly again, I plead with
you to take a few minutes, write to the Attorneys General and make your
opinions known. When we're all using Microsoft Windows at least you'll be
able to console yourself by knowing that you at least tried to resist
Microsoft hegemony.
This is the time to strike. They believe that they have hornswoggled a
sweet deal. Their guard is down, if just a bit. This is far from over.

This is a real opportunity for those of us who want more stringent
prosecution. Before, Microsoft had only to have one team of lawyers to
deal with the Feds. Now, their efforts will be diluted by virtue of having
to confront nine different government entities. The time to express your
opinion is now. Together we can have a positive impact on the future of
computing if only we take the time to express our opinions to those who
hold the public trust.
NEW NetOp Remote Control v7.0 Released
INTRODUCING THE NEW NETOP REMOTE CONTROL V7.0
NetOp was designed for users just like you who require
heightened security, top rated speed and more platform
options. NetOp Remote Control v7.0 is the latest version
of the "fastest growing" remote control solution on the
market. NetOp Remote Control v7.0 is designed specifically
to meet the needs of professional users and incorporates
new security features, a Domain Name Server, new lower
corporate pricing, and Guest support for controlling PCs
from your XP, CE, Linux and ActiveX PC -- as well as from
older Windows, OS/2 and DOS machines.
Try the NEW NetOp Remote Control v7.0 today: http://www.crossteccorp.com/tryit/index.html
THE NEW AWARD-WINNING NETOP REMOTE CONTROL V7.
NetOp has always provided far and away the fastest and
most secure remote control solution, and now this new
version raises the bar once again. Besides NetOp's cross-
protocol and cross-platform support for all Windows, DOS
and OS/2 platforms -- NetOp v7.0, which was selected as
a "Best of Comdex 2001" finalist, now adds additional
security options, increased speed and the ability to run
the software from IE Browsers, a CE device and from Linux
PCs.
NetOp's new encryption methods achieve what no other
remote product has been able to provide -- advanced
encryption while maintaining speed.
NetOp v7.0 also provides many other enhancements such
as new ways to connect to your Host user, the ability
to start multiple Host sessions simultaneously, options
for starting, restarting or shutting down a Host PC,
new Terminal Server and RAS support options and a unique
NetOp Security Management module which provides you with
centralized security and administration of your users.
NEW - CONTROL PCs FROM YOUR BROWSER
Imagine being able to run a sales demo sitting at your
client's computer, being able to download a missing file
right from the print shop or supporting an office PC from
a trade show floor - all without your laptop. NetOp
takes browser based remote control to the next level
with an easy to use ActiveX based Guest which provides
speed and advanced security. So now if you are away
from your office and need to access a Host PC you can
simply launch the tiny NetOp Remote Control guest from
any IE 4.0 or higher browser. In case the PC you need
to control has a dynamic IP address, NetOp's DNS Server
can automatically translate the dot-digital IP address
to the PC name. And if you are worried about security
the ActiveX guest supports all Host security settings,
NetOp's new Security Server and advanced encryption as
well as the NetOp Gateway which provides you with a
secure inbound/outbound software router for multiple
NetOp sessions.
HERE IS WHAT IS NEW IN NETOP REMOTE CONTROL V7.0:
- New NetOp Security Server lets you control and
administer NetOp security in a centralized and fault-
tolerant way.
- New NetOp Domain Name Server provides a seamless way
to help locate another NetOp user when you don't know
their IP address. The New name server also lets remote
users send a NetOp SOS 'Request Help' message to NetOp
Guest Help Providers from anywhere.
- New Encryption options provide increased security
levels of communication between NetOp modules. Secrecy
insured with AES encryption key lengths up to 256 bits,
Diffle-Hellman key exchange up to 2048 bits SRP
Authentication.
- Control your “Hostö systems from just about any Windows
PC on the Internet using exciting new ActiveX NetOp Guest.
- New Windows CE Guest lets users securely access their
desktop's email ‘Inbox’ and applications or support
remote PCs using CE-based handheld computers.
- New Linux Guest enables Intel-based Linux users to
control multiple Windows or OS/2 users over TCP/IP.
- NetOp Windows Guests can start sessions with multiple
hosts simultaneously.
- Guest can Logoff, Shutdown, Restart or ‘Wake On LAN’
(WOL) a Host user.
- Support for MS Active Directory Authentication provides
tighter support for Windows Security.
- Host module can now be loaded within a Terminal Server
session.
- Microsoft Installer (MSI) Support now works in addition
to InstallShield for broadcasting remote Host installations.
- PC can now be BOTH a NetOp Remote Control Host and
NetOp School Student and also you can be a NetOp Remote
Control Guest and Host for 'cascading'remote control
sessions. *Requires proper licences
- New Lower Corporate pricing means NetOp is even more
affordable which means an even faster return on your
investment.
