2007-02-17
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: richDESPAM@DESPAMe-vertise.com
Cameraderie v1.2 is a GUI organizer & downloader for your PTP digital
camera (e.g. Canon, Kodak, etc). Instead of dumping a bunch of files in
some directory and leaving you to sort out the mess, Cameraderie gives you
the tools to view, organize, and rename your photos before they hit your
disk. In most cases, you can rename a group of photos and designate the
folder to save them in by clicking a single button. It's quicker & easier
than any file-based GUI app or commandline tool.
With v1.2, Cameraderie makes another task quicker & easier: viewing and
saving your photos "right-side up". It uses a photo's Exif info to
determines the correct orientation, then saves it using "Lossless JPEG
Rotation" to ensure the picture's quality remains unchanged.
v1.2 also adds a "save-by-date" feature for those who prefer to file their
photos by date rather than subject matter; and a "Camera Info" dialog that
provides some basic details about your camera.
Cameraderie supports cameras that use PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) and
connect via USB (v1.1 & v2.0). It can be used in English, German, Dutch. &
French, and is easy to translate into other languages. The program is
open-source and released under the Mozilla Public License.
You can get Cameraderie from hobbes:

| Event: Announcing the OS/2 and eComStation Developers Workshop 2007 |
2007-02-18
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Robert Henschel
netlabs.org and the Dutch HCC computer club are pleased to announce the
OS/2 and eComStation Developers Workshop 2007. The workshop will be held in
the beautiful city of Amsterdam, The Netherlands, on the weekend of 7th and
8th July 2007.
The workshop is targeted at developers that create software and drivers for
OS/2 or eComStation. The details have yet to be finalized and this is the
first public announcement. The workshop follows the tradition of organizing
an event for developers once every year. Last years workshop was held in
Biel, Switzerland and the first workshop was held in 2005 in Dresden, Germany.
If you are developing software for OS/2 or eComStation and want to
participate in the workshop, please visit the workshop homepage. The page
is currently under construction and information about the workshop program,
facilities, accommodation and travel will follow.

| SW: Cellular Automata Animator V1.1 |
2007-02-19
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Stan Pokorney
Cellular Automata Animator v1.1, also known as DrLife is a 1d and 2d
cellular automata engine to run C.A. patterns as large as 1000x1000 cells.
New in this version is Object Rexx support (Drlifeo.exe). Patterns for
C.A.'s can be in Life1.05, run length encoded (RLE), or ascii formats.
Patterns can be modified before being run, and can be selected from the
following sources: A file, a pattern stored as a string of 0 & 1's, or a
pattern entered from the keyboard. While running the pattern, you can pause
and single-step the execution. Large patterns greater than 62,000 cells can
be viewed in sections which are selectable by marquee mouse marking the
pattern graphic.
All Life-like rules,and many non-life like rules can be run. Binary 1d
rules with radius 1 and 2 are supported. Cell neighborhoods of 8, 9, 4
and 5 cells are built into the program. Other cell neighborhoods can be
defined in a config file.
A number of public patterns are included.
Source code for use with DrDialog is included.

| SW: DFSee version 8.11 released |
2007-02-19
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Jan van Wijk
DFSee 8.11 has just been released with some nice enhancements!
You can finally create JFS volumes now completely within DFSee, no need for
additional work with the regular LVM program.
Much better 'removable' and 'large floppy' display and handling, including
a FAT FORMAT that can create bootable OS/2 USB sticks. The latter requires
a minimum OS/2 system copied too of course, and compatible hardware :-)
Thanks to Rainer Stroebel for much research, and creating the
eCS-OS/2-USB-Boot WIKI in progress at:
http://p2066.typo3server.info/wiki-usb-boot-en.html
See point 6.3.2 specifically, I created a bootable eCS stick with that
today that boots to a command prompt and DFSee ... (but several attempts
with others sticks failed)
DFSee is a very powerful disk-utility with disk partitioning, filesystem
and disk analysis, file recovery, UNDELETE for HPFS JFS, and NTFS,
resizing, imaging, cloning and sector editing.
More details at:
http://www.dfsee.com/dfsee/

Note: Most of these can also be downloaded using '811'
instead of the generic '8xx' version number
Or from the HOBBES website:
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/dfsee810.zip
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?key=dfsee
Most important functional changes since 8.10:
- BOOTSECT enhanced display, BPB-Geo/dsk L-geo, JFS bootcode
- DESKTOP Fixed auto resize on startup, using MODE command
- DISK Switch to Mode=xxFS on large-floppy-format disks

- MAP Show PRM & large-floppy 'removable' status when known
- MAP Show large-floppy: FS-format, label, driveletter
- MAP -m Reworded int13 limit message line for more clarity
- MENU Actions -> Format with FAT filesystem -> new submenu
- MENU Actions -> Format ... -> Current, OS2LDR Large Floppy
- MENU Remove mode=FDISK menu duplicate 'D' accelerator key
- MENU Exclude removables from 'Boot using IBM Bootmanager'
- PART Switch to Mode=xxFS based Part-type for non-formatted
- PART Added disk-level warning 'large floppy' format
- PART Added table footer with '>' status character legenda
- PART Show large floppy: FS-format, label, driveletter
- PART -n Fix table header on Linux default (or part -n -b)
- PART/MAP Implement removable detection (like USB) for Windows
- RESIZE Fix crash in resize of FAT32 filesystems (8.09/8.10)
- RESTORE Dialog, fix empty 'start' value messing up command
- RESTORE Fixed display of the buffersize for uncompressed .img
- SETBOOT Add removable indicator (for not bootable) when known
- SETBOOT Display the (LVM) driveletter and filesystem on -list
