From: Roderick Klein
On the 23rd of July and a maximum of 2 days after that date you may have
difficulty reaching ecomstation.com and Mensys related webservices.
This occurs since Mensys has to reconfigure its IP addresses and it takes
time for these new IP addresses to propagate over the internet.
Our sincere apologies in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.
Best regards,
Mensys/Serenity team.

| SW: GNU coreutils-5.93 |
2007-07-17
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Dave Yeo
Hi, I've built and uploaded to Hobbes
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?key=coreutils the GNU coreutils ver
5.93. The core utils are the
union of the GNU fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages.
Hobbes incoming link: http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/coreutils_5.93.zip
This is just a quick build with no source changes using GCC 3.3.5 so
libc063.dll is required. Most programs seem to work though things like
cp.exe and mv.exe have no EA support. I repeat copying and moving files
with this build will result in lost EAs. Of interest is the ln.exe command
for creating symlinks. Any program built with klibc ver6+ and using the
built in functions should work with symlinks. Though of course no promises
and the only guarantee is that these programs are untested and may not work
as advertised or at all.

| SW: "GetTYPO3v4forOS2" v2.10 released |
2007-07-17
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Roland Schmalenberg
Hi folks,
yesterday the TYPO3-team released TYPO3 version 4.1.2 and 4.0.7 with some
bugfixes, improved code quality and debugging mode for user generated SQL
queries. I've got the time to change my script today and have finished the
tests, so a new version for getting TYPO3 to run on base of OS/2 or
eComStation known as "TYPO3 goes eComStation" is out, too.
What is TYPO3?
--------------
For those people not knowing TYPO3 yet it should be mentioned that TYPO3 is
a free Open Source Web Content Management System, released under GPL. More
informations can be found at http://typo3.com/ or for developers at
http://typo3.org/
Where to get, what to need?
---------------------------
You are able to download the script package from the home of "TYPO3 goes
eComStation", http://os4you.org/typo3goesecomstation.html All you need to
run is a working OAMP or AMP4eCS (OS/2+Apache+MySQL+PHP, WPI available from
http://www.amp4ecs.de/ ), my package and time to study ;-)
Hint for TYPO3-Beginners
------------------------
Those who want to use that CMS with OS/2 or eComStation the first time
should start with reading our documentation (available in English, Dutch,
French and German) for the TYPO3 version 3.8.x (outdated but still
available) and examin the quickstart-package.
All others will be recommended to use the latest versions ...
Yours sincerly
Roland Schmalenberg
Team TYPO3 goes eComStation (TT3geCS)

| SW: New enhanced releases of Mozilla applications [ |
2007-07-21
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Peter Weilbacher
My newest batch of enhanced Mozilla apps
- eSeaMonkey 1.1.3 (integrated internet suite, successor of "Mozilla",
an enhanced SeaMonkey 1.1.3)
- PmW-Fx 2.0.0.5 (internet browser, an enhanced Firefox 2.0.0.5)
- PmW-Tb 2.0.0.5 (eMail client, an enhanced Thunderbird 2.0.0.5)
are available via http://pmw-warpzilla.sf.net/. Enhancements over the
official versions are
* SVG and Canvas support
* better WPS integration
* EA URL tagging of downloads
* MNG/JNG support
* included ipluginw.dll for plugin support
* high memory support
* and more
All applications need libc062.dll to run, the DLL coming with the libc
0.6.3 package from ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc will work.
These releases pick up all the changes and several security fixes done by
Mozilla since my Gecko 1.8.1.4 release, i.e. between 30 May 2007 and 21 Jul
2007.
Three OS/2 specific changes were done:
- Restart problems with PmW-* have now really been resolved
- Problems with mouse pointers in PmW-Tb are resolved
- The apps now ship with RWS v0.8 instead of RWS v0.7 as before
