This software package contains updated version of mouse driver MOUSE.SYS. It incorporates some enhancements and bug fixes that were made after the official release of CP2 package.

This is a required update for ThinkPad T30 UltraNav (with TrackPoint & TouchPad) owners to fix problems with TrackPoint that may stop working after suspend/resume or system restart with original CP2 drivers. T30 UltraNav owners should also note that if an external PS/2 mouse is attached to the docking station then both TrackPoint and TouchPad are automatically disabled.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

c) Virtual PC for OS/2 is GA

Virtual PC for OS/2 is generally available since April 02, 2002. This is also true for the OS/2 Additions for Virtual PC for Windows.

The Virtual PC Software from Connectix and InnoTek provides 2 solutions: 1st, Virtual PC for OS/2 is a very flexible, though convenient way to integrate 32Bit Microsoft Windows Applications into your OS/2 environment. OS/2 now can run any PC operating system (Guest OS) within OS/2 as a "host" OS. This enables all OS/2 users to run Win32 applications as well as linux applications on their OS/2 desktop, even in an isolated environment (like mobile workers running OS/2 on their ThinkPad).

2nd, Virtual PC for Windows with OS/2 Additions enables Windows clients to run OS/2 as a guest OS, thus enabling any Windows client to run OS/2 applications as well.

For details, see http://www.innotek.de/products/virtualpc

Enterprise support for both solutions is available through IBM Enterprise Warp & Workspace Services emeawarp@de.ibm.com.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
d) New Epson Drivers coming around

We have been asked by Epson what some of the Customer requirements are to justify them supporting the Epson Photo 820 under OS/2, like:
- What kind of customer is requesting the high resolution printing?
- How many Epson Photo 820 units are involved here (current and future)?
- Why do they need 2880 DPI printing?
- Which applications are they using?

Anything you can provide as requirements will help our case.

Thanks for your help.

FYI: We are already requesting EPOMNI5 and as soon as we get it, we will publish it on DDPak Online http://service.software.ibm.com/os2ddpak/html/index.htm.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
e) IBM Web Browser for OS/2 V1.2 released

IBM Web Browser for OS/2 V1.2 (Web Browser) includes the following components: browser, mail/news, SpellChecker, and Macromedia Flash. Web Browser supports the IBM OS/2 Warp Developer Kit, Java 2 Technology Edition, Version 1.3 and the Macromedia Flash plug-in.

This is a SoftwareChoice feature.
