| SW: Sane2twain second alpha release |
2007-04-24
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: "Peter Koller"
This is the second alpha prototype of sane2twain, an open source twain dsm
that will enable programs like PMView and Maul Publisher to acquire images
from your scanner. It has just been uploaded to
ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/incoming/sane2twaina02.zip
Eventually sane2twain will enable you to scan from any twain enabled eCS or
OS/2 application that correctly supports the twain standard.
Currently, sane2twain can
- Preview images.
- Select an area.
- Zoom in and out (and scroll about).
- Set a limited number of options.
- Display progress indicators.
- Scan.
It uses libsane from Paul Smedley, see http://www.smedley.info/sane.html
You should try and get tame V1.04b to work before attempting to use sane2twain.
The application is provided so that you can
1) Tell me which options your scanner provides (see readme in zip)
2) Tell me if this works on your computer.
3) Express an interest. Should I continue with this, or am I wasting my
time?
4) Do some scanning on the OS/2 or eCS platform.
This version has some limited error checking, but is also slightly more
flaky than the earlier one... More later!
Thank you
=========
The development of this program is funded in large part by Maul Publisher
maintenance subscriptions. I would like to personally thank all of those
who contributed, and I look forward to be able to provide other OS/2 apps
and features in the future.

Hi All,
I've uploaded a build of Samba Server 3.0.25rc2 to Netlabs. Currently it's
in ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/incoming/samba-3.0.25rc2-os2-20070423.zip but it
will eventually move to

Some details on installation are in the wiki at
http://svn.netlabs.org/samba - feel free to contribute as writing
documentation isn't my forte!
Details on the changes between 3.0.25rc1 and 3.0.25rc2 are available from

++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Sander Nyman <2sanderDESPAM@DESPAMsbcglobal.net>
Robert Blair has released a (FREE) new Sodoku game for OS/2. The game acts
as a "whiteboard" for Sodoku puzzles, and is considerably easier (and a lot
more fun) to use than paper and pencil. A sample puzzle is included to
help you get acquainted with the program.
This game is VERY well done, with features that include a timer, a help
file, a Warpin installation, and a REXX program (requires WGET) to download
the daily Sudoku puzzles from the "Sudoku Online" web site. Installation

It is available on Hobbes, currently in the Incoming directory:

Note: The Warpin install obviously requires that you have Warpin already
installed.

From: Mark Dodel
"ACPI (short for "Advanced Configuration and Power Interface") is a
standard that defines power and configuration management interfaces
between an operating system and Hardware. It is meant to supersede
the older APM standard (for power management) and provide a generic
interface for recognition and configuration of hardware devices."

ACPI snooper (IRQ control, ACPI tables loading). 2.20 Eugene
Gorbunoff
Attention: Snooper is not ready for NVidia users
Features of ACPI snooper:
* Use IRQn instead IRQm in APIC
* Reload DSDT from file
* Set IRQ to link (irq router)
* Evaluate a path
ATTENTION:
ACPI Snooper should be loaded if running in SMP APIC mode.
In this case the snooper is writing data to PCI config space so devices
can get updated IRQ info from it instead of wrong info.
