SW: FtpServer version 1.30 released

2007-09-08
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: Peter Moylan

FtpServer, an FTP daemon for OS/2 and eCS, has just been upgraded to
version 1.30. Don't be fooled by the low version number; new releases are
rare because of a shortage of bugs. You can get it from
http://www.pmoylan.org/pages/os2/FtpServer.html
or from
ftp://ftp.pmoylan.org/FtpServer/ftpser130.zip
or by searching for ftpser130.zip on Hobbes.

LIST OF CHANGES
(since version 1.20. Many users will already have a later version than
that.)

Version 1.30 (9 Sep 2007)
FEAT and OPTS commands implemented (RFC2389).
INI file now taken from working directory, not
program directory.
Added check for repeated probes that look like
a dictionary attack. This version does not
update the filter in the INI file.
Cleaned up transaction logging, fixed errors in
logging to a pipe.
Fixed a bug in calculating the end position of
a file whose size is between 2 GiB and 4 GiB.
Added check to block usernames starting with '$'.
Internal changes to INI file handling.
Fixed an error in the REST command that could arise
when file size was between 2 GiB and 4 GiB.
Added option to disable Telnet compatibility, so that
the Russian character 'ya' can be used in a file name.
Policy change, for better NetDrive compatibility: if a
restart point has been explicitly set for an upload,
we overwrite rather than delete an existing file.
Fixed bug: crash if port > 32767 in remote Setup.
Fixed a bug in syslog priority code.
Transaction log may now be sent to syslog and/or to
a pipe, as well as the existing screen/disk options.
New command SITE UTIME, which some ftp clients can use
to set the timestamps on an uploaded file.
VIOSetup now supports the "suppress logging" option.
Policy change: if logging is suppressed for a user, we
suppress all logging for that user, not only the
transaction logging.
Workaround for thunking bug when calling VIO functions.
New error code (452) for not enough space on an upload.
Better implementation of the Setup option to switch to
and from multiple INI files.
Fixed bug: Setup was crashing when editing directories
for a new user.
The transaction log now includes replies as well as
commands.
Check for non-numeric REST argument.
Ability to omit a user from the transaction log.
Files to be downloaded are now opened in shared-access mode.
New option to split the FTPD.INI into many different files,
for the case where there are many user accounts.
The main Setup notebook now remembers the font dropped on
it from the font palette, and the font dropped on the
page tabs.

SW: bootAble: Maintenance update 4.5.2 released

2007-09-08
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: Hayo Baan

Hello bootAble users,

Once again I have uploaded a minor maintenance release for bootAble. As
always, you can download it from http://www.xs4all.nl/~hrbaan/bootAble

v4.5.2 (08/09/2007)

* Fixed the broken links in the manual page: Veit Kannegieser's
website and the memdisk/loaddll/untar/unbhsio .zip files all pointed to the
wrong location (thanks you Peter Brown for pointing this out).

v4.5.1 (06/04/2007)

* Added an option to specify the response to the maintenance partition
format command. This way you can also adjust this response to languages
other than English (FORMATMAINTENANCERESPONSE).

v4.5 (26/03/2007)

* Added integration of the Microsoft Virtual Machine additions
(MSVMADDITIONS).
Note: for the mouse integration to work, the GENGRADD driver should
be used (VIDEODRIVER=2).

SW: Maul Publisher V3.13-11.9.7Ge

2007-09-14
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: "Peter Koller"

Maul Publisher V3.13-11.9.7Ge
========================
Maul Publisher is an industrial strength desktop publisher capable of
creating virtually all of the printing seen on everyday household
items.You can use it to easily lay out newspapers, cards, books, labels,
stamps, posters, charts, forms, and even designs like building plans or
furniture arrangements.

Further information
===============
For more information and screenshots see
http://www.manglais.com/promo/maul.html

Product, download, purchase and other web pages can all be accessed via
http://www.manglais.com/subs/php/product.php?MAULE300

New in this version
===============
NOTE: This is a binary update only, leaving the language packs at V3.12.

- Installer fixes to make it easier to run a full upgrade from within Maul.
- Fixed text line justification changes of highlighted blocks of text.
- Removed subscription requirements for the following features:-
* Import of embedded images in RTF files.
* Import of Windows metafiles, wmf and emf.
* Rulerbar dialog menu items allow copy and paste of snap markers.
- Workaround - When you select a postscript printer, all new frames
containing text will use a
Windows codepage in preference to Unicode. This avoids disappearing
characters caused by
misssing unicode support in the postscript printer driver.

Software Maintenance Subscription
===========================
Please help to support further product development with a low cost annual
software subscription!

New customers and upgraders from V2.xx will get the first year for free.
Registered customers will get early access to fixes and new features.

In all cases, you will help to maintain and improve one of the most
powerful native OS/2 and eCS applications remaining today.

For further information, please see
http://www.manglais.com/products/subsinfo.html

To install or upgrade Maul:-
=======================
Install:-
Download maulebin313.zip, and either maulelen312.zip or maulelde312.zip or
both, depending on the language(s) you want.

Try
http://www.manglais.com/download.php

or later
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?key=maule

Unzip all the files into the same folder and run the installer.

Upgrade:-
Download maulebin313.zip
Unzip the file in the .\maul\install directory where maul was installed
and run the installer. You only need to install the binary executive and
library files. It is safe to install later versions of Maul V3.xx over
earlier ones.

Bugs
====
Please take the trouble to report any bugs that you may find!

SW: New GBM (Generalised Bitmap Module) updates available

++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: Heiko.NitzscheDESPAM@DESPAMgmx.de

GBM plugin 1.30 for Lucide 1.20
-------------------------------
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.

GBM.DLL 1.52 and GBM command line tools
---------------------------------------
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

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 (1.52).
Please follow the instructions to use the new GBM.DLL for all programs
as well as for eCS WPS features like bitmap previews.
