InJOY PPP dialer v0.09 Available.

The InJOY PPP dialer for OS/2 has now taken a step further.

It is still in beta, but it already runs very stably and has a lot of the promised functionality. The most important new feature is an OS/2 related announcement/ commercial ticker. Also, for those of you that have had troubles getting it to work, it should be far more stable now. Especially regarding the regular COM.SYS drivers which previously gave problems.

It is also possible to register the product now and support its further development!

For the latest news on development or download, take a look at the web page or for questions regarding this product e-mail the author.

Workplace Shell TrashCan Version 2.5 Released.

WPS TrashCan is a replacement for the OS/2 Warp Version 3 (or higher) Shredder object. It brings a Macintosh-like trash can to your desktop. Unlike the Shredder, TrashCan won't immediately delete objects dropped on it. You can delete them yourself later, or configure TrashCan to delete them according to options in its settings notebook. This way, you will be able to recover Trashed objects and get them back for normal use.

TrashCan's main features:

The new version can be found at ftp.cdrom.com (/pub/os2/incoming or /pub/os2/wpsutil); ftp.leo.org (/incoming/os2 or /pub/comp/os/os2/wpstools); ftp.wilmington.net (/bmtmicro); or hobbes.nmsu.edu (/incoming or /os2/wpsutil). The file name is trshcn25.zip.

New Version of Blackout.

I've put together a new version of my screen saver "Blackout." The program is intended for DPMS, or "Green" monitors which can be shut off automatically by using this program; this is accomplished by turning off the synchronization pulses to the monitor. The screen saver has three modes of saving:

  1. it reduces color intensity on the screen,
  2. it sets the monitor in suspend mode, and
  3. it switches the monitor off.
No fancy graphics, but it does the job - saves the screen. The program is free and is distributed with source code. I have put version 1.00 on HOBBES today, so it can probably be found in the incoming or new directory. The archive name is "black100.zip".

The program requires the EMX runtime library, which is also available from HOBBES or ftp-os2.cdrom.com. Blackout has a home page on the world wide web, where you can look for general information, updates, known problems in the last release, etc. You can also download Blackout from there.

New Release of DSTAT.

DSTAT reports information about your disk drives. It's very useful if you need to examine free/used space of your drives. I wrote this program to help myself in my work with network administration. Now it's easy to examine all drives and see if any drive is beginning to be full. Available: ftp://ftp-os2.nmsu.edu/incoming/dstat105.zip.

House of Technology -- a Canadian OS/2 Distributor.

House of Technology (HOT) Inc. is proud to announce its plans to expand its role as the premier distributor of OS/2 applications to retail outlets in Canada. The Toronto, Ontario company has recently begun a massive undertaking to enlist the support of major OS/2 ISVs and to distribute their products to store shelves in Canadian retail outlets.

While Canadian consumers have been able to purchase OS/2 applications through mail order retail channels in the US for some time, many have been demanding a local retail sales presence. HOT is determined to make this demand a reality. An agressive OS/2 exposure campaign including a full colour glossy catalog, OS/2 application "Test Drive Centers", CDs and cooperative advertising is planned to hit Canada later this year.

HOT has already received commitment and support from many large OS/2 ISVs in its Canadian OS/2 Awareness Campaign. In response to HOT's aggressive push for OS/2 exposure, new stores carrying OS/2 software have appeared from Halifax to Vancouver. For more information see HOT's Web site.
