WarpSpeed Computers offers single site for commercial ISV updates.
To all commercial ISV's - WarpSpeed Computers is offering use of its internet server to provide a single unified site for updates of their products. The offer is open to all commercial ISV's who are shipping OS/2 products. There is no charge for this service.
Updates to products, particularly when dealing with multiple vendors, can often be tedious and very time consuming to find and install. WarpSpeed Computers is offering its internet server as a holding site for updates. The updates will be made available via four different methods. Gopher and FTP will be provided for those users who prefer a standard gopher or FTP interface. Also provided is a modified gopher server which is needed for the "Retrieve Software Updates" program that was supplied with OS/2 Warp 3.
Support for the newer web based "Retrieve Software Updates" (RSU) program is also provided. IBM is using the RSU method for the distribution of its own CSD's and other updates. Using the RSU method, the user clicks on a link to a small RSU file. This RSU file is recognised by a suitably modified web browser (IBM provides an update program for Netscape and Web Explorer users), downloaded and passed onto the RSUINST.EXE program. The RSUINST program downloads the real updates and then runs an install program.
WarpSpeed Computers will provide documentation and support to those ISV's that require it.
WarpSpeed Computers Updates page can be accessed at: http://www.warpspeed.com.au/updates.htm.
This can only work with the support of other ISV's. We are hoping that all
of them will get involved, as no-one looses. Everyone wins, particularly
the users. All interested ISV's should email Chris Graham at the above
address for further details.

ANNOUNCING A NEW WAY TO FIND OUT WHAT'S NEW FOR OS/2:
I (Peter Norloff) have created a new mailing list service that delivers a list of all the new OS/2 files to your email box every day or once a week.
There are two different forms of the email messages and two different time periods for updates. I'm offering the email messages in both text and HTML formats. If you're using an email program that can display HTML such as Netscape Navigator, the HTML format is both more visually appealing and more convenient then the ASCII text counterpart.
Both types of mailings include the list of all the new files posted here plus the full URLs of the files, file size, and complete file description. With Netscape, subscribers simply click on the URL in your mailer and the file is sent to you. With other mailers that have URL support you can similarly download the file almost immediately. With MR/2 ICE for instance, you click the URL then right-click and select "web browser".
I'm offering the file lists I generate here daily including the daily update and the new files posted over the last week. Weekly updates will be mailed every Saturday. Daily updates are mailed usually between 10:00 AM and 12:00 noon.
To subscribe to any of the lists, send an email message to:
The message subject will be ignored and can simply be left blank.
In the MESSAGE BODY, place the command:
subscribe "list-name"
where "list-name" is one of the following:
os2new-1day-html
os2new-1day-text
os2new-1week-html
os2new-1week-text
Unsubscribing works exactly the same way but you say "unsubscribe" in place of "subscribe"
The service obviously has the greatest utility for BBS subscribers but it is valuable just the same to everyone. Please feel free to use the email announcements to help you choose whether you want to call the BBS that day via telnet or via the dialup network. All the files on the BBS are available to anyone. There is no subscription requirement, and no upload/download ratios.
Feedback on the new service is welcome. Please send email to
pnorloff@os2bbs.com or leave a message on the BBS.

PMMASort v1.0 Beta2 Available.
Announcing PMMASort v1.0Beta2. -- from Gyan Scott Penrose-Kafka (spk@ibm.net)
PMMASort is a small but needed command-line utility to sort the address book
in PMMail v.1.9. Because PMMail doesn't sort its address database, the popup
address books appear according to the order the addresses were added, which
can be very frustrating. PMMASort quickly will sort through hundreds of
addresses, and put them in order, either by name or by alias, so that they
will appear in the popup according to your desires. PMMASort is available on
HOBBES and CDROM as pmmas10b2.zip (anticipated directory: /os2/internet/mail)

Connekt v1.0 Released.
Connekt ver. 1.0 is FREEWARE; as such no warranty of any kind is provided. You may modify this software for your own internal use, provided you do not distribute the modified copy.
Please do not redistribute the software directly; instead create a link to my home page (http://www.bgnett.no/~soyland) where the original version will be available. (File name: WEBS.ZIP)
What does this REXX script do? well.......... read on!
This is the poor man's solution to running a web server(on your local PC).
Background:
Every time you logon to your Internet Service Provider. You get your IP
address from a range of IP addresses that your ISP "owns". In other words,
you get a different IP address every time you logon to your ISP.
That can be a pain in the neck. If you're running your own Web server.
What does this REXX script do, to make things easier?
1. It gets your local IP address (You have to logon first)
2. It generates a HTML file and inserts the obtained IP address, in the
generated file.
3. It uses FTP to transfer the file to your Home directory on your ISP's
machine.
What YOU have to do:
1. Make a link from your homepage to the file that gets transferred.
2. Modify the REXX script(read the comments in the REXX file)
to suit your setup.
That's it.....

Tensor for OS/2 and Java Available.
Q: When will there be another game as fun and challenging as Tetris?
A: Now, Tensor from QVision.
Pit your skills against Tensor. Move the tiles about a rectangular playing board trying to merge like tiles to score points. The more tiles you merge the higher you score. But look out, merging mismatch tiles can cost you points.
At each level of Tensor, you are given a quota of points you must reach within a time limit if you make the next level. New tiles are added to the board randomly but if you can clear the board you get a bonus when you met the quota.
At each higher level your quota gets higher; new tiles are added faster; new types of tiles may be added; pits, barriers, and null squares can appear and randomly jump around.
See how many levels you can get through or see how many points you can rack up before you fail to make the quota.
Played by testers from 5 - with a little help on instructions - through 70+, Tensor has been enjoyed by our testers of all ages, sexes, and skills. The 3 highest known scores on Tensor all belong to the ladies, of which 2 were adults not teenagers - the second highest was by a 13 year old.
Tensor allows you to vary options to create a new challenging game at any time. The Java version - which runs on all major Java platforms such as Windows/95, Windows 3.11 and OS/2 - has even more options to challenge you.
Tensor is priced at $19.95 for electronic downloads and $24.95 for diskette versions.
Demos are available at: http://www.qvision.net/demo.html
Tensor is available in Java, OS/2 and Windows (3.1 or higher) version. Tensor is available, in all versions, on diskette or for electronic download over the World Wide Web.

EMail: sales@qvision.net Phone: 801-572-4018 Fax: 80-571-8625
