From: Andy Willis
Warpstock Corporation is pleased to announce that the new webpages are now
online <http://www.warpstock.org>. The new content management system will
allow more timely updates.
To celebrate the new homepage we would like to announce a new contest:
Warpstock Corporation is looking to create a corporate logo. The Warpstock
board has decided to have a contest for the creation of the new logo. The
submission rules are fairly simple:
1. It should contain the name Warpstock Corporation
2. It should have the URL http://www.warpstock.org
3 It should have at least a band of "IBM Blue" (one idea was to have
the name and/or URL in blue but this is not required)
4. There should be 4 sizes:
A. Icon size (which does not have the URL and not necessarily the name)
B. Small
C. Medium
D. Large
5. There should be 256 color, 4 color, and B&W versions of each size.
6. For the Small, Medium, and Large it would be a good idea to have
them in a raster format (such as eps) for scalability.
Definition of Small and Medium are not strictly set but we envision using
the logo for webpages, flyers, posters, cups, shirts, etc. The Large would
be poster board size. The small, medium, and large should be similar but
do not have to be exact. For instance, the large may have more in it than
the others.
The winner of the contest shall receive a free registration to Warpstock
2006 and a custom made shirt with the official logo embroidered upon it
presented to him (or her) at the Warpstock banquet.
Submissions are due by June 1st 2006.
Please make submissions to logo-submissions@warpstock.org
Warpstock, Corp., is a Virginia corporation. The Warpstock annual
conference is a gathering of OS/2 users, developers, and vendors from
around the world for the purpose of education and advocacy. More
information is available at the Warpstock web site: http://www.warpstock.org

| SW: DFSee CDROM reminder and OS/2-world award ... |
2006-04-24
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Jan van Wijk
First of all, a big 'thank you' to the OS/2 community for voting DFSee as
best commercial software of 2005!
http://www.os2world.com/award/results.php
Then, in case anyone missed it, version 8 is available as a CDROM offering
as well, with a nice updated label.
Just as a reminder, anyone who bought a DFSee product after 1st of March in
2006, is considered a regular DFSee 8.xx user (you have the 8.xx key :-)
So you also have the right to buy the:
'Bootable CDROM for registered 8.xx users'
Which is just 10 Euros ($13) plus shipping, available from the Mensys
webshop at:
http://shop.mensys.nl/dfsee
Since the CDROM's are burnt on demand now, the CDROM will not only contain
your unique (email-address) registration info in the code, but printed on
the CDROM as well ... (see link to sample cdlabel below)
Of course, if you have the right hard and software, you can also burn your
own CDROM, and add your 8.xx key to that using the tool provided with the ISO:
http://www.dfsee.com/dfsee/dfsee8xx_ISO.zip
And to make it a good-looking one, also get the labels and print one
directly on the CDROM (or CD sticker). Sample cdlabel picture, and link to ZIP:
http://www.dfsee.com/dfsee/cdrom.htm#cdlabel

| SW: SW: Thanks & Updates at http://smedley.info/os2ports.html (Subversion |
2006-04-24
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Paul smedley
Hi All,
Firstly, let me express a THANK YOU to all the people who obviously voted
for me in this year's OS/2 World Awards, resulting in me taking out the
'Honor Award for Individuals'.
I really appreciate the messages of support and feedback on the ports I've
done (and the occasional sponsorship) - without feedback, developers can
lose interest, so it really is important!
Anyway, a few updates to the ports page http://smedley.info/os2ports.html :
- Subversion v1.3.1 beta 2 - updated form 1.3.0 to 1.3.1 and fixed a
problem with 'svn add'. The goal of the Subversion project is to build a
version control system that is a compelling replacement for CVS in the open
source community.
- PHP 5.1.2 beta 5 - major update is the use of the MySQL client from MySQL
v5.0.19. Also some fixes that I'd made for 4.4.2 are now included in
5.1.2. PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is
especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML
- cURL v7.15.3 - updated to latest version. curl is a command line tool for
transferring files with URL syntax, supporting FTP, FTPS, TFTP, HTTP,
HTTPS, TELNET, DICT, FILE and LDAP. curl supports HTTPS certificates, HTTP
POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading, HTTP form based upload, proxies, cookies,
user+password authentication (Basic, Digest, NTLM, Negotiate, kerberos...),
file transfer resume, proxy tunneling and a busload of other useful tricks.
Cheers,
Paul.

| Net: VOICE website "Best Site of the Year" in OS/2 World annual awards |
2006-04-24
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Mark Dodel
As has been noted in a couple of the posts already sent today, OS/2 World
has announced the results of their 2006 awards (
http://www.os2world.com/award/results.php ), and the VOICE website was
voted "Best Site of the Year". VOICE has never been one to trumpet their
own accomplishments, but I thought it was appropriate to take this time to
point out the work of a few of the folks that have put a lot of their
personal time into the project and helped make it one of the few remaining
active on-line resources for the OS/2 and eComStation community.
First off Ken Kirchner who is the VOICE server admin, web master and all
around great guy. He has taken some suggestions from myself and others and
implemented them on the web site to make it the useful, always up-to-date
site it is today. His talent and knowledge is what has brought about those
features which make the site so useful, like the new hobbes files listing,
the archived article search feature ( http://www.os2voice.org/searchnl.html
) and the automatically updated news listings on the main page. He's also
been a great help with the Warpstock web site (also hosted on the VOICE
server) with things like mail and online polls.
I'd like to personally thank all the people who over the many years have
submitted announcements to the VOICE mailing list which helps keep OS/2 and
eComStation users informed without having to spend a lot of time hunting
down this information on their own. If you have news related to OS/2 and
eComStation please email it to submit@os2voice.org or use the online
submission form at http://www.os2voice.org/fSubNews.html
Next Christian Hennecke who stepped in as the editor-in-chief of the VOICE
Newsletter a couple years ago and has modernized it into a truly attractive
and yet still useful information source despite some tough times getting
new content and help translating in our ever shrinking community of users
and developers. The newsletter has come a long way since it first appeared
9 years ago as a brief four pages of HTML (and that damn INF version ;-)
with some news and information about VOICE and OS/2.
Finally to the writers, translators and editors who continue to work on the
newsletter so folks have something new to read every month or so. Without
these people there would be no VOICE Newsletter. If you haven't done so
yet please consider contributing an article for a future edition. There is
a very well written guideline for submission of articles that you should
definitely look over for hints on what to write about and how to present
it: http://www.os2voice.org/VNL/past_issues/VNL0206H/guide.html

| SW: Mozilla's Thunderbird 1.5.0.2 Has Been Released |
2006-04-24
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: "Sander Nyman"<2sanderDESPAM@DESPAMsbcglobal.net>
Mozilla's Thunderbird 1.5.0.2 for OS/2 & eCS has been released.
Thunderbird is Mozilla's full-featured email, RSS and newsgroup client.
This is a security and stability update. This release contains 62 bug
fixes since the 1.5 version. It also contains 15 security fixes, 2 of
which are rated critical, so updating to 1.5.0.2 is highly recommended.
As was the case with Firefox, Thunderbird 1.5.0.2 is an immense improvement
over it's 1.0.x predecessors.
You can download it here:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/1.5.0.2/contrib/thunderbird-1.5.0.2.en-US.os2.zip
IMPORTANT NOTE: This release requires C runtime DLLs from Innotek. The
latest version is 0.5.1, which includes an installer. Available here:
http://download.innotek.de/gccos2/runtime/libc-0.5.1.exe
IMPORTANT NOTE: To have both Firefox, & Thunderbird in use at the same
time (or ANY other Mozilla app) they *MUST* be at the SAME version level,
or a mismatched DLL from an older version will still be in memory when you
attempt to start a second Mozilla based program. The easiest way to use
DIFFERENT version levels of Firefox, Thunderbird, NVU, etc., is with Rich
Walsh's Run! utility. It is tiny, and VERY easy to set up. To make life
even easier, I HIGHLY recommend that you download & use the Internet
Application Integration utility from Chuck McKinnis, which actually
contains the Run! utility, and sets it up for you, along with coordinating
your web brower with your email client for "mailto" links, etc. You can
find it here:
http://www.7cities.net/%7Emckinnis/code/iai1010.exe
Or, if you'd rather do it yourself, here is the Run! utility:
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/wps/run_060.zip
Thunderbird extensions (add-ons) that add new functionality are available here:
https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/?application=thunderbird
Thunderbird themes (skins) are available here:
https://addons.update.mozilla.org/themes/?application=thunderbird
A utility to migrate mail from PMMail to Thunderbird is available here:
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/apps/internet/mail/reader/pmm_tbird.zip

Tips and tricks for Thunderbird can be found here:

Thunderbird, & Mozilla (Seamonkey), Steve Wendt's excellent "Tips For
Warpzilla" page can be found here:

| SW: Cairo Graphics library on OS/2 v 1.1.2 |
2006-04-26
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Mark Dodel
Doodle has released a new OS/2 drop of the Cairo Graphics library on the
Netlabs ftp server.
http://www.cairographics.org/introduction (Caution site may load extremely
slowly)
"Cairo is a 2D graphics library with support for multiple output devices.
Currently supported output targets include the X Window System, win32, and
image buffers. Experimental backends include OpenGL (through glitz),
Quartz, XCB, PostScript and PDF file output.
Cairo is designed to produce consistent output on all output media while
taking advantage of display hardware acceleration when available (eg.
through the X Render Extension).
The cairo API provides operations similar to the drawing operators of
PostScript and PDF. Operations in cairo including stroking and filling
cubic Bézier splines, transforming and compositing translucent images, and
antialiased text rendering. All drawing operations can be transformed by
any affine transformation (scale, rotation, shear, etc.)
Cairo is implemented as a library written in the C programming language,
but bindings are available for several different programming languages.
Cairo is free software and is available to be redistributed and/or modified
under the terms of either the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)
version 2.1 or the Mozilla Public License (MPL) version 1.1. "

2006-04-28
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Marcus de Geus
A new build of RexxMail is available from my web site:
http://www.degeus.com/rexxmail/
RexxMail is an object-oriented WPS e-mail client, written in REXX, which
uses the standard WPS user interface. It features an extensive range of
functions and options with full command-line access.
New in release 20060428.085111:
- This release introduces the concept of Addressless Carbon Copy, together
with a new header keyword, ACC. (Thank you, Aland, for the suggestion.) ACC
can be used to send messages to multiple recipients without revealing their
e-mail addresses, while still displaying a list of their names (or whatever
comments you care to specify).
- Added the HEAD message redirection recipe keyword to enable a recipe value
to be matched to any header entry.
- The RexxComm.CMD program is now included in the RexxMail distribution
package. This utility can be used to strip the comments from the
RexxMail.CMD program to reduce its size.
Best regards,
Marcus de Geus

| SW: Brutus pre-release |
2006-04-30
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Dale Erwin
Brutus is the name of my software project to catalog my collections of
recordings and other similar stuff.
I am about ready to release this program, which is written in Java. If any
of you would like to try it out, I would be very interested in any comments
or suggestions you might like to make.
I originally started out to catalog my collection of MP3 files on my hard
drive, but I also wanted to catalog the CDs in my Sony CD player which has
a 200 CD carousel. I have since added a few other things to catalog. It
now catalogs 6 different entities: Albums, Books, Movies, Operas, Scores
and Software.
The only thing left to do before the first release is to write the help
files and have them translated... Oh, yes, did I forget to mention that it
supports four different languages: German, English, Spanish and Italian.
When the database is first initialized, it loads the English into the
database, but this can be easily changed once the app is running by
clicking on the Options menu -> Languages -> xxxxx (where xxxxx is the
language of your choice). However, if anyone would be interested in trying
it out without the help system in place, you can download it from my website:
http://www.casaerwin.com
The site is in Spanish, but on the second (last) row of images, third from
the left, second from the right, there is an image of BRUTUS SOFTWARE.
Click on this image and you will be taken to the Brutus page. Click on
DESCARGAR to download the zip file. If you click on the next line down "
Instrucciones -- por ahora solo en inglés " you will see the instructions
which for now are only in English. These instructions are very basic, and
for now are the only help available... except you can always ask me.
