"Gnash is a GNU Flash movie player. Previously, it was only possible to
play flash movies with proprietary software. While there are some other
free flash players, none support anything beyond SWF v4. Gnash is based on
GameSWF, and supports many SWF v7 features."

| SW: Iconomize v0.81 |
2007-07-13
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: rwsDESPAM@DESPAMe-vertise.com
v0.81 is a maintenance release that improves handling of large custom icons.
If your attempts to use v0.80 failed, please try the new version.
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?key=iconomize081.zip
or
http://e-vertise.com/rws/iconomize081.zip
Iconomize is a unique tool that lets you eliminate the single largest
source of bloat in os2.ini: duplicate icon data. If you haven't used it
before, running Iconomize just once can reduce the size of your os2.ini
anywhere from 10% to 25%.

All those interested in making presentations or conducting workshops are
asked to submit their information to the speaker committee as soon as possible.
In addition, all those who would like to attend a presentation or
participate in a workshop on a particular topic are urged to make that
topic known to the speaker committee.
If the presenters and their topics do not match up with the topics
requested, we on the speaker committee will do our best to root out an
expert on the topic.
As chairman of the speaker committee and ably assisted by Edgar Scrutton
and Steve Levine, we would ask that you please submit your cards and
letters as soon as possible to the Speaker Committee.

From: Dale Erwin
Not too many people these days are very keen on Assembly Language as a
viable development tool. When I was a mainframe programmer, specializing
in 370 Assembler, I heard all the same arguments against it about how much
more productive one could be in a high level language, but I never agreed
with them.
Don't you think anyone who could deliver a product that occupies 60MB as
compared to an equivalent product developed in a high level language that
occupies 600 MB, and in addition executed everything much faster that the
bloated app, could be competitive? How many times have I heard people
complain about how slow OOo and Mozilla apps are?
I have created a new yahoo group for anyone who wants to collaborate on the
problems of programming in Assembly Language under eCS and OS/2. I hope
that anyone interested in learning to program in Assembly Language will
join me in this group. It would also be greatly appreciated if anyone who
has any experience in it would also join us to give us some insight. It's
open to anyone who wants to join:

| SW: Weasel 1.77 is finally out |
2007-07-15
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Peter Moylan
After many unreleased beta versions, the new version of the Weasel mail
server, version 1.77, is now available as a GA release. You can get it from
<ftp://ftp.pmoylan.org/Weasel/weasel177.zip>
or from Hobbes:
<http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?key=weasel177.zip&pushbutton=Search>
or you can go to the Weasel web page at
<http://www.pmoylan.org/pages/os2/Weasel.html>
which also gives you access to Weasel filters and tools.
Weasel is a POP3 and SMTP mail server, and is optional shareware supporting
a single mail domain. Registration of the "Pro" version lets you host
multiple domains, and will also enable IMAP once a production version of
the IMAP add-on is released. (The present version of the IMAP addon is not
recommended for production work, because of a serious bug.)
LIST OF CHANGES since version 1.76
Version 1.77 (15 Jul 2007)
Fixed: failure to update user count when a client
is banned or blacklisted.
Fixed the "100% CPU" problem when a client
connects but sends no command.
"Extra logging" checkbox in Setup replaces X parameter.
Improved protection against denial-of-service attack.
Fixed: problem with authenticating outgoing mail.
Fixed: logging via a pipe was failing.
Now allowing for up to 8 blacklist servers.
Added comment in the manual to point out that the
Rexx variable RC can be checked to see whether
Weasel shut down normally or crashed.
Minor change to INIData.Close.
Updated transaction logging to improve the case of
multiple threads writing to disk.
Fixed: memory corruption in INI file operations.

| SW: OS/2 & eComStation Gnash build updated |
2007-07-15
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Paul smedley
Hi All,
I've updated the OS/2 & eComStation build of Gnash at my website at
http://os2ports.smedley.info to reflect the latest cvs code as at 2007-07-13.
For those that don't know what Gnash is, from http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash
Gnash is a GNU Flash movie player. Previously, it was only possible to play
flash movies with proprietary software. While there are some other free
flash players, none support anything beyond SWF v4. Gnash is based on
GameSWF, and supports many SWF v7 features.
A plugin for Firefox is also planned when time permits.
The OS/2 port of Gnash is the subject of an OS/2 World Bounty - see
http://www.os2world.com/content/view/14712/1/ for more details.
Enjoy!
Paul.
