From: Mark Dodel
Yuri Dario has released a new release candidate build 0.94rc1:
http://web.os2power.com/yuri/ClamAV
"Clam AntiVirus is a GPL anti-virus toolkit for UNIX (and OS/2). The main
purpose of this software is the integration with mail servers (attachment
scanning). The package provides a flexible and scalable multi-threaded
daemon, a command line scanner, and a tool for automatic updating via
Internet. The programs are based on a shared library distributed with the
Clam AntiVirus package, which you can use with your own software. Most
importantly, the virus database is kept up to date. A multithread plugin
for InetPowerServer is available, ask for details (not free software)."
See the readme at
http://web.os2power.com/download/clamav/clamav-0_94rc1_0-os2.txt
Additional requirements:
* eComStation 1.x,2.x
* OS/2 Warp
* 32bit tcpip stack
* libc 0.6.3 runtime ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0.6.3-csd3.wpi

Friends of Hobbes:
ICT at New Mexico State University is replacing the current Hobbes server
with a new, faster and more secure server. The date we have chosen for the
switchover is September 1st, 2008. We are striving to keep the new
interfaces as close to the current Hobbes as we are able. Moving forward
will giveus a more stable platform to support Hobbes for many years to come.
Pass the word to those who may not see this message. Any comments or
questions should be directed to archiverDESPAM@DESPAMhobbes.nmsu.edu.

++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Lewis G Rosenthal
For those of you with T60 and T61 machines, in case you were not aware, I
host a mailing list specifically dealing with eCS on the T6x models. If
you need advice on these units (multiple OS installations, SATA issues,
ACPI, networking, audio), you should probably have a look at the web
archives of the list and please feel free to subscribe either via feed
(individual messages) or daily digest. (Note that we haven't solved all of
the issues with these machines as yet, but we are gaining ground.
Discussion of related issues - other OSes on these machines, or similar
ACPI hardware on other machines is also currently permissible.)
As with all other lists hosted by Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC, there is no
cost, no advertising of any kind, and we do NOT share member addresses with
ANYONE.

| SW: DFSee 9.12 released; bugfix! |
2008-08-30
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Jan van Wijk
This is a bug-fix release, fixing improper use of decimal versus explicit
HEX values in a few menu-items and dialogs. Some other minor changes have
been made as well.
The distribution now contains a 'profile.dfs' that announces itself at
startup, so users are more aware of its existence.
The readme file that comes with the ISO download documents how you can use
the 'ikey' program to import your own customized 'profile.dfs' into the ISO
before burning it.
DFSee is a very powerful disk-utility with disk partitioning, filesystem
and disk analysis, file recovery, UNDELETE for HPFS, JFS, and NTFS,
resizing and smart imaging or cloning.
More details at:

Or from the HOBBES website:
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/dfsee912.zip
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?key=dfsee
Functional changes since 9.11
- DIALOGS image, restore, clone, create; use explicit HEX
- IKEYxxx Changed to be a generic template replacement utility
- MENU Make 'change partitiontype' use explicit HEX numbers
- NTSIGN Changed parameter to be decimal by default, not hex
- PART Make labels (-b-) the default for Linux and MAC too
- PROFILE Default (empty) profile.dfs made part of distribution
- SERIAL Changed parameter to be decimal by default, not hex
- SET Help text on 'set radix' or 'set radix -?' improved
- TYPE Set 'class' of 2nd parameter to be a partition-type
