| Net: netlabs.org CVS server moved! |
2007-01-19
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Adrian Gschwend
Hi all,
I just moved the CVS away from www.netlabs.org to cvs.netlabs.org. Which
means any scripts you might use have to get updated!
Also, most of the CVS repositories at netlabs.org got removed, only the
following ones still exist:
- - nepmd *
- - odin32xp *
- - samba *
- - warpin
- - wlan *
- - wpstk *
- - xworkplace
- - xwphelpers
- - xwpwidgets
All with a * in it will be migrated to Subversion pretty soon. The XWP &
WarpIN ones will stay a bit on CVS till Paul Ratcliffe gives me the sign to
move them as well to Subversion.
I've updated archives.lst on ftp.netlabs.org/pub/nosa so you might update
NOSA with that list in case you are using it. User and password should stay
the same. If there are any problems, please let me know! Note that some
files in CVSROOT\* got changed, you might want to update that.
For all other projects you will find the latest snapshot of the source in
ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/snapshots/ Unless someone wants to resurect one
of those projects I will not provide any version control for those projects
anymore. Some of them were already converted to Subversion before and can
now be found at http://svn.netlabs.org
This change is related to the new server for sure, I have to migrate all
the old services from the old one first so was time to clean up :-)
Expect the new server to be online next week!

| SW: bzip2 v1.0.4 available for OS/2 & eComStation |
2007-01-19
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Paul Smedley
Hi All,
I've just uploaded a binary of bzip2 v1.0.4 to my site at
http://smedley.info/os2ports
What is bzip2?
bzip2 is a freely available, patent free (see below), high-quality data
compressor. It typically compresses files to within 10% to 15% of the best
available techniques (the PPM family of statistical compressors), whilst
being around twice as fast at compression and six times faster at
decompression.
The current version is 1.0.4, released 20 December 2006.
Why would I want to use it?
* Because it compresses well. So it packs more stuff into your
overfull disk drives, distribution CDs, backup tapes, Zip disks, etc.
And/or it reduces your phone bills, customer download times, long distance
network traffic, etc. It's not the world's fastest compressor, but it's
still fast enough to be very useful.
* Because it's open-source (BSD-style license), and, as far as I know,
patent-free. (To the best of my knowledge. I can't afford to do a full
patent search, so I can't guarantee this. Caveat emptor). So you can use it
for whatever you like. Naturally, the source code is part of the distribution.
* Because it supports (limited) recovery from media errors. If you are
trying to restore compressed data from a backup tape or disk, and that data
contains some errors, bzip2 may still be able to decompress those parts of
the file which are undamaged.
* Because you already know how to use it. bzip2's command line flags
are similar to those of GNU Gzip, so if you know how to use gzip, you know
how to use bzip2.
* Because it's very portable. It should run on any 32 or 64-bit
machine with an ANSI C compiler. The distribution should compile unmodified
on Unix and Win32 systems. Earlier versions have been ported with little
difficulty to a large number of weird and wonderful systems.
* Because (by now, late 2006) everybody else uses it too.
Any feedback is appreciated to paulDESPAM@DESPAMsmedley.info
Cheers,
Paul

From: Yuri Dario
UClip is designed to allow OS/2 programs to exchange unicode text using the
clipboard with other native programs or with odin-ized programs.
It is compiled using Odin source code, so it shares the same clipboard
formats recognized in win32 native programs.
Note: UClip will not enable your existing OS/2 software, it will work only
for programs specifically developed with it.
The SDK package is not for end users, it is only for developers.

Today 9th Jan 2007, newLISP 9.0.15 is released for OS/2 - eCS. compiled
with libc061.dll / gcc 335.
newLISP is a LISP-like scripting language for doing things you typically do
with scripting languages: CGI programming, system administration, text
processing, gluing other programs together, etc. newLISP is a scripting
LISP for people who are fascinated by LISP's beauty and power of
expression, but who need it stripped down to easy-to-learn essentials.
newLISP is small on resources like disk space and memory but has a deep,
practical API.
For more information on newLISP http://www.newlisp.org
(There you can also find the link towards the binary for OS/2)
Enjoy ;-)
Regards, Norman.

| SW: GBM 1.51, GBM plugin 1.24 for Lucide RC1 |
2007-01-23
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Heiko Nitzsche
GBM plugin 1.24 for Lucide RC1 or higher
----------------------------------------
(freely usable, see license included)
This is a plugin for the Lucide document viewer available for eComStation
that extends Lucide for the support of reading all bitmap formats supported
by GBM.DLL. It requires GBM.DLL 1.35 or higher. GBM 1.51 is recommended. Do
not use GBM 1.41 any longer.
Supported features:
* document info
* loading all formats supported by GBM
* save loaded bitmap if it has only one page
* multipage bitmap viewing support
* load bitmap page on demand
* scaling and rotation
Get package gbmos2plugins_lu124_moz130_bin.zip from Hobbes.
It is also included in the WarpIN installation package (see below).
The above plugin does not work anymore with Lucide Beta 4 because the
plugin API has changed. If you just upgrade your Lucide installation to
RC1, please delete the old lugbm.dll or/and lugbm_b4.dll and install the
new plugin. Users who want to stick with Lucide Beta 4 for the moment can
download a compatible plugin version from http://heikon.home.tlink.de for a
limited time.
For more details please have a look at the change log in the included
documentation or at my GBM homepage (see below).
GBM.DLL 1.51 and GBM command line tools
---------------------------------------
(Public Domain)
The Generalised Bitmap Module (GBM) is a library capable of loading and
saving bitmap files in a variety of popular and less popular bitmap file
formats. Programs may be written to use this code, and thus be able to
access a variety of file formats without actually knowing what format the
pictures are in, or any details about file format itself.
In this version, extended BMP, JPG, PNG, TIF, PBM, PGM, PPM, PNM and XPM
support is additionally included. PNG and TIF support also 16, 32, 48, 64
bpp colour depths with/without alpha channel. PPM supports also 48 bpp
colour depth. BMP supports also OS/2 RLE24 and Windows 16/32 bpp RGB and
BITFIELDS formats.
It comes with a useful set of command line bitmap manipulation tools.
Get package gbmos2_151_bin.zip from Hobbes.
It is also included in the WarpIN installation package (see below).
Notes for eComStation 1.2/1.2R users:
-------------------------------------
Please read the installation instructions. eCS 1.2/1.2R ships with an old
GBM.DLL (1.12) which prevents loading of the new GBM.DLL (1.51). Please
follow the instructions to use the new GBM.DLL for all programs as well as
for eCS WPS features like bitmap previews. If you cannot replace the eCS
shipped GBM.DLL, please execute unlock x:\os2\dll\gbm.dll from a command
line. Then override the old GBM.DLL with the new one. Don't forget to
reboot afterwards.

It provides:
- comprehensive documentation (also included in the download archives)
- developer tutorials on how to use GBM libs in your own programs
- download of all sources and binaries
