Modular Dreams releases WebAK.
//see our special offer for free CW plug-in)
MD+F WebAK First SX based program, MD+F WebAK, is released for IBM OS/2
Warp. Modular Dream Incorporated's Web Animation Kit eases creation of web
animations (up to thousands of frames), Imagemaps, patterns and
backgrounds. Visit the WebAK page for full description, pictures, and more.
Erm... You want a GIF animation with a thousand frames?
GIF Animator
Use the GIF Animator to load, create, test, or save GIF animations.
The GIF Animator provides the ability to load and take apart GIF
animations, construct them by simple drag-and-drop, test
animations by playing them (even supporting the Restore Previous
method yet supported by Netscape), or save them using a highly
optimized algorithm for the smallest file size possible. And unlike
most other applications, WebAK is also designed to create and
work with GIF Animations containing hundreds of frames.
See the GIF Animator displaying a GIF, a before and after view of
an optimized animation, and a high-frame animation.
Pattern Generator
WebAK's Pattern Generator lets you create seamless patterns for
use as backgrounds or for inclusion in your animations. With
additional tools such as an Image Holder to store your patterns, a
variety of filters for touching-up, and an Image Tile tester, creating
backgrounds for web pages has never been any easier.
See the Pattern Generator and an image holder holding a sampling
of various patterns.
Imagemap Writer
WebAK's Imagemap Writer lets you highlight areas on an image,
specify links, and creates Server-side or Client-side imagemaps for
you, with or with-out HTML test code. Once you use this tool, you
will never want to hand-code Imagemaps again.
See an image being mapped and a generated map file.
Filters and Effects
WebAK provides a small collection of image processing filters and
some special purpose effect dialogs to make it easier to create very
large animations.
See a list of the provided effects.
C++ style Script
WebAK's easy to use scripting language simplifies the tasks needed
for more complex animations, even for the most casual computer
users. For more advanced users, the scripting language (actually a
C++ style interpreter) provides more features such as the ability to
create or destroy objects, variables, test conditions, and looping
constructs.
See a complex high-frame animation and the code used to create it.
Collapse and Resurrect
By using WebAK's unique Collapse and Resurrect feature, you can
store not only the end result of your work, such as a GIF
animation, but also the steps that went into it, for example the GIF
Animator window and its settings, the various effect dialogs which
you have open and even any links you created by
drag-and-dropping between objects. If you create something neat,
don't just tell others how to do it, give them your whole
environment. Everything, even images being displayed, will be
neatly stored in one file! Once you use the Collapse and Resurrect
feature provided by WebAK, you will wish all your other
programs did this.
See collapsed environments.

New Game for OS/2
Armin Schwarz 73322,2045
I have made available a new game for OS/2 - Memory Game for OS/2 - a card
matching game with 32 beautiful, 300dpi, 256 color pictures of dinosaurs.
It is a fully functional program and was written for kids, but adults may
play it as well (my 4-year-old is holding the record at 68 tries in our
household). A registered version is available also and you get four
additional picture themes and options like auto-play, hints and score
keeping. This game has been specially designed for voice navigation - find
matching cards by saying the numbers 1-32. Show this game to your family
and friends and it will be the talk of the day at work or school - not many
are playing games with voice commands! This game works under Warp 3.0 and
later.
Visit my homepage at: http://ourworld/compuserve.com/homepages/aschw and
download the game now. I have uploaded it to OS2USER, OSAVEN and Hobbes as
well and should be available soon.
Enjoy,
Armin Schwarz

Xact v5.0 Demo
Martin R. Hadam 100657,3603
Xact is a scientific graphing program on OS/2 from Germany now available at
version 5.0. It is both excellent at number crunching as well as fast
vector graphics. If you are currently using SigmaPlot, PlotIT or Origin -
give it a try (you may never want to go back). You can also use it for
general illustration purposes on its own; like preparing slides, overheads
or even posters up to DINA0. It may completely replace PowerPoint (if that
is what you are using now).
It's *fast* and very *easy* to use. Most functions are accessible from
truly context sensitive menus and "pipettes" can be used to transfer line
or fill styles, fonts or axes from one graph to another.
It also features a powerful REXX and C interface (which covers most Xact
functions); which can even be used for the creation of truly interactive
graphics. For a programmer, using Xact as a graphical front end for
database output seems quite neat. Please note that the docs for programmers
are in English only.

Stardock's primary utility suite for OS/2. Where Object Desktop supplies

Go, which will be released on OS/2 simultaneously with all the other

energy into NetREXX, which seems to be paying off. (For lurkers who are too

for the self-service environment. Companies that align their technology
