Now It Can Be Told (was Re: What actually happened?)
Date: 28 Nov 1994 07:17:07 GMT
restless mob of aus.flame.gareth-powell readers had gathered outside
the Fairfax building in Ultimo, and were getting ugly. Torches had
been lit, and their glow flickered on the walls. Softly, the chant
began... "Kill the clown! Kill the clown!" A straw effigy of Bill
Gates was brought out and burned. A wild-haired figure leapt on top of
a nearby car and began to whip the crowd into a frenzy. Meanwhile, the
security guards in the building had gathered at the glass doors, but
were looking fearfully at the angry mob, which was much bigger than it
had been on previous nights. Finally, the mob's anger broke like a
wave, and they smashed through the doors with a roar; the security guards
fled into the building. Up the steps raced the crowd, the smoke from
their torches filling the stairwell.

a autographed, semen-stained photograph of Bill Gates. They dragged
him screaming from the building, and he clutched desperately at the photo

sanity recognised Stuart Littlemore, QC, patron saint of the ABC, and
self-proclaimed Defender of the Supercilious Smile. With a gesture, he
bade those present stand aside, strode up to the pinioned Evil One,
and with a righteous smirk, taunted him, and called him a plagiarist.
The Evil One jabbered even more foully, and began to vomit 5.25"
floppy disks, but Saint Stuart was not deterred! He likened him to

Internet Adventurer v0.96
Reply-to: krasmus@post3.tele.dk (Kim Rasmussen)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The eagerly awaited Internet Adventure version 0.96 has now been released, and
is available for download from <http://home3.inet.tele.dk/krasmus/>
FTP, Gopher, News and Mail all in one integrated fast and cheap package.
- Netscape/2 support
- Native Java support (running outside of a WWW-browser)
- WAV support !
- Extensive News/Mail filtering
- Crossposted news articles are now handled
- Native language support, and support for all the ISO-8859-x character
sets.
- MIME support added, view attachments easily
occurred in 10 seconds. This should make retrieving of articles
faster.
- News database compaction added - this also means that news.p is no
longer needed. Compation can significantly reduce the disk-space
requirements of the news database - during testing, I reduced it from
9 MB to 5 MB by simply compacting it. Compaction is available from
the file menu.
- If you have a registered version, your real name will no longer be
displayed as part of the header in any sent messages.
- Older newsservers, which does not support the XOVER command are now
also supported, note however that the byte count will be 0, since
that information is not available. Also note, that these servers are
slow, and it takes considerably longer time to download from them.
- IA_NETSC.DLL added - This adds support for using Netscape for all
WWW and FTP URLs, instead of the browser in IA_WWW.DLL. In order to
use it, change a line in iaplugins.cfg (ia_www to ia_netsc).
- When deleting the last thread in a newsgroup, the article list was not
cleared properly.
- Whenever a program was started from inetadv, it inherited it's file
handles, thus causing InetAdv to think that the database was opened
by another process after re-loading, without shutting down the
started apps. This is now fixed.
- Huge bug concerning threading fixed ! Whenever deleting an
article list record from the database, it's assotiating thread was
also deleted, even if there were other records in the same thread.
- /URL command added to IRC
- Enhanced the install.cmd script a lot
The .zip file now has no quicklst.* files, but comes with a
orgquick.lst file that the install script imports into the quicklist
database, of no existing quicklist is detected.
- Added impnetsc.cmd, which imports Netscape Navigator's Quicklist
- The newsgroup list didn't remember it's container view
- Custom folders can now be created, and articles/mails can be moved or
copied to them.
- /joininv IRC command added - will join the channel you were last
invited to.
- Private messages will no longer be shown in the current channel, if
a private window is pop'ed up to show the message.
- Bug in copying to the clipboard from an IRC window fixed.
- WAV support added !! The following WAV files are played by InetAdv:
- ialoaded.wav when inetadv is started
- newmail.wav when new mail has arrived
- Added Java support, using IBM's JEmpower tool - the same one that
Netscape is using to support Java inside their browser !
- Changed the name of any runtime DLL's to a unique name, so IA will no
longer conflict with other program DLLs. All IA DLLs now also uses a
single runtime library, to minimize memory requirements.
- Changed the name of exceptq.dll to ia_trap.dll, to avoid conflicts
with PowerWeb which used an older version of exceptq.dll - Help is
finally added - few items are still in the help, but the list is
growing rapidly...
- You can now doubleclick on an email address anywhere, to prepare an
email and send it to that specific address.
- Registration menu item moved to the main menu.
- Filtering now implemented. This is a really useful feature, refer to
the help for details on what can be done with filters.
- Stuffed Xref support into the database
- The IRC notify-list only worked for nicknames of max. 9 chars, this
has now been fixed.
- Right-clicking the IRC nickname list only worked for nicknames less
than 10 characters.
- Timestamp has been removed from all messages that goes to the IRC
log.
- If posting a news article while offline, InetAdv would only try to
send it 3 times, and then give up, and require a restart in order to
try to communicate with the newsserver again.
- 'Mark all read' menuitem added to news.
- True Xref handling added, this means that if you mark one article
read, if it's crossposted, it will also be marked read in all the
other groups that the article also appears in !!!!
- Headers formatted according to RFC1522 (eg. =?iso8859-1?q?=3F?=) are
now translated to a more readable format. Charactersets are also
converted from iso-8859-? where ? is 1-9 to your current codepage.
The following codepages are supported: 437, 850, 852, 857, 860, 861,
863, 865.
- Drag'n dropping URLs from Netscape to Internet Adventurer's quicklist
is now possible.
- MIME is now supported, both MIME attachments, and uuencoded
attachments are shown as one line representing them, instead of
showing the whole attachment in the article window.
The following codepages are recognized: 437, 850, 852, 857, 860, 861,
863 and 865. Conversion between all these codepages and iso-8859-* is
supported. (* is 1 to 9)
- Quoted lines are no longer wrapped, when replying.
- Received duplicate messages are now shown as independent messages in
the inbox - this means that IA's duplicate handling has been disabled
for incoming mail messages.
- MIME and UUDecoding attachment support added

REXX SuperSet/2 Supports Object REXX
Reply-to: fcruz@softouch.com

http://www.softouch.com
Oklahoma City, OK -- SofTouch Systems is excited to announce the REXX
SuperSet/2 Version 2.0 is available for general delivery. REXX SuperSet/2 is
SofTouch Systems' first product to support the new Object version of the
popular REXX procedural program included with OS/2.
"classic" REXX external functions available from a single source. Over 300
external functions in seven DLLs are registered to the REXX processor supplied
with OS/2. These external functions can be used in TCP/IP, NetBIOS, EHLLAPI,
LANServer and Warpserver and CPIC environments.
objects. The new classes will create the following objects:
o TCP/IP sockets server and client objects
o NetBIOS server and client objects
o CPIC server and client objects
o FTP server and client objects
o OS/2 semaphores encapsulated as objects
o OS/2 VIO functions encapsulated as objects
Dynamic Link Library (DLL). Because they are supplied as objects, the
programmer can make full use of them by subclassing and inheriting from them
to create their own Object REXX customized objects.
objects technology in REXX SuperSet/2 allows a greater range of functionality
to be encapsulated and a simpler programming interface to be used. This
reduces the effort needed by the programmer to use and learn the objects and
their interfaces. The result is smaller programs and shorter application
development times," Jones added.
the classic REXX extensions by environment, establishes a consistent function
syntax, and provides examples for every REXX function. A 650 page product
manual describes the functions, their syntax, and lists examples from real
working programs. REXX SuperSet/2 includes an on-line version of the product
documentation as well.
Warp 4.0. Object REXX and OS/2 Warp 4.0 are required to use the new REXX
SuperSet/2 object classes.
runtime DLLs. According to Jones, "Our customers urged us to drop the runtime
license charge because it was too time consuming to administer and monitor DLL
usage. By dropping the runtime DLL charges, the market's acceptance of REXX
SuperSet/2 will increase significantly," Jones said. "Application developers
will now know in advance how much their REXX development projects will cost
and no longer have to manage the number of runtime licenses used in their
company," he added.
Edition and REXX SuperSet/2 Personal Edition. REXX SuperSet/2 - Professional
Edition consists of the 300 classic REXX external functions, the classes for
creating new networking objects with Object REXX, and the printed and on-line
documentation.
Professional Edition It is intended for the casual user interested in using
REXX for personal use. It includes the complete documentation and examples but
does not include the networking DLLs (TCP/IP, NetBIOS, LAN Server/Warp Server,
CPIC, and EHLLAPI functions) or the new networking Object REXX classes.

All of the above functions/buttons are also accessable with a popup menu

Templeton is a powerful World Wide Web mirroring and mapping tool. Using
Templeton, you can bring remote web pages to your local hard drive for fast,
convenient, reliable, off-line use. Mirrored HTML documents include working
links, images, and sounds! Web browsers can easily access the retrieved
files. Minor HTML corrections (such as a missing quote) are performed.
Templeton is very configurable; it can generate web site maps, mailing lists,
server lists, and much more. It can easily be included in automated scripts
or can be used to run other applications on the mirrored files. HTTP proxy
servers and password-protected URLs are supported!
* Corrected retrieval of wildcard-restricted CGI data. For example, "deny
*.gif" would still retrieve "http://machine/cgibin/time.cgi" which
generates a ".gif". Now file is correctly *not* retrieved.
* Revised socket-read function. This corrected one bug under Linux.
* Corrected file timestamp to corrected correspond with daylight-savings
time.
* Updated expiration data to April 15.
* Updated documentation to include new registration fees and method.
* New icons. (The "Home" icon cause some confusion.)
* HTML 3.2 compatible. Supports lowsrc and client-side image mapping
when the image map information is stored in a separate file.

FaxWorks. FaxWorks OS/2 is a Keller product published by Village Idiots,
oops, Global Idiots, OOPS, Global Village - sorry about that slip up.
PMfax was the ORIGINAL name when this product was first published.
PMfax is published by NiteHawk, under an agreement with Keller to use PMfax
name. PMfax uses Win clients (in the LAN product) that integrate into the
fax system - UNLIKE FaxWorks Win clients.
PMfax includes additional utilities, etc on the distribution CDs
unlike FaxWorks.
_but_ it was NOT available for sale EXCEPT as a corporate multi-user
product.

In the MultiCad magazine, current issue (Vol.5 No.2) we found this letter:
I am encouraged to write a few words in support of a choice that exists
outside of Micxosoft's monopoly in operating systems for PCs.
I have been looking at the IBM 32-bit operating system known as OS/2 -
operating system type 2 - to assess its suitability as a platform for people
who need processing power.
In the box that accompanies the latest version (known as Warp 4), there is a
sampler CD-ROM with more than 70 applications that one can try out. This, I
believe, is a reasonable indication that the product is not "dead and buried", as one
is often led to believe. In addition, I have been receiving several emails a
week of information on material available to try out in beta test form,
shareware, and as short-life demos of the real thing. Applications available
seem to cover a wide range, from useful utilities to use with the operating
system, CAD packages and business products, as well as the inevitable games.
Until I started looking at the previous version, several months ago, I did
not realise that it runs (and very successfully) almost all existing 16-bit
Windows applications, each one in its own crash-proof environment. It will
also run all regular DOS applications similarly.
As I am extremely enthusiastic about this platform, which seems to run faster and
more reliably than Windows 95 and Windows 3.11, and which seems to load
applications faster, I would like to hear from readers who actually use OS/2
themselves.
I have so far encountered a software developer who writes library automation
applications targetted at Asia, an AutoCAD user with some pretty great ways
to use it, and a couple of younger computer shop 'gurus' who swear that its
the best thing since sliced bread.
May I suggest that a start would be to email me at rashton@ozemail.com.au,
or to write to Multi-CAD Magazine with the envelope marked for my attention?
