ACQUIRES PMMAIL SOFTWARE FROM SOUTHSOFT, INC. RELEASES NEW VERSIONS FOR ALL PLATFORMS. New Version of Product Line Available October 15, 1999 Wilmington, NC - October 15, 1999, - Blueprint Software Works, Inc., a newly formed software development and publishing firm, recently acquired the PMMail software package from Southsoft, Inc. Both companies made the announcement today. An updated version of PMMail, one of the most powerful email clients available, will be released on October 15th, 1999 immediately following this press release distribution. The latest OS/2 version (2.10) is available on Hobbes or at http://www.blueprintsoftwareworks.com The PMMail product line is one of the most versatile email software packages available. This powerful and flexible email application provides extensive support for emerging Internet standards along with a user-friendly interface. PMMail is a multi-platform application supporting OS/2 as well as Windows NT/95/98/2000.. PMMail offers users a way to manage unlimited email accounts, providing a cost-effective, timesaving communication tool. "We are excited about the acquisition of the PMMail product line. Southsoft has developed an email application that is in a class by itself," said Thomas Bradford, President, Blueprint Software Works. "The PMMail feature set is packed with everything a customer needs to manage email and the interface is displayed in a logical and intuitive manner. The program is designed for easy navigation, setting PMMail apart from other email programs." "We created PMMail over four years ago," said Robert Novitskey, lead developer and President of Southsoft, Inc. "Yet even today, no product has come close to PMMail's power and feature set." "In the past six months it became apparent that Southsoft could no longer provide the level of quality in service, support, breadth of features and timeliness of upgrades that our customers deserve," said Novitskey. "As such, we searched far and wide to fine someone to take over the reins and continue in the tradition that we have set forth. We are pleased to have found a partner (in Blueprint Software Works) who shares the same d=esire to see PMMail continue to grow and astonish customers. Blueprint Software Works is a privately held firm located in Wilmington, NC specializing in software development, as well as publishing and marketing services for independent developers. The aquisition and launch of PMMail announces Blueprint Software Works' official entrance into the software development and publishing market. Negotiations with leading developers in the Internet and multimedia market are currently under way as well and Blueprint Software Works will be announcing these agreements as they are finalized.

It doesn't say what's different about it though. From Danis506.doc: "DESCRIPTION Since the original IBM1S506.ADD doesn't support the IDE controller found in the VIA 82C586(/A/B) south bridge beyond the basic features, I wasn't very happy with the performance of my 10Gig DTTA-351010 drive. The driver from VIA itself was no solution because it doesn't support all the advanced features found in todays hardware and locked up my system completely. So I sat down.... This release of my S506 driver is no longer based on the sources provided by IBM on their DDK site. It has the latest feature set as found in the current fixpacks and fixes later than these."

It has to do with the random number generator, so if you don't need that function, or you don't care about poor random numbers, you don't need to download. I've also included another program, mem_spec_tab.exe, which uses tabs to separate data points, as opposed to spaces. This makes it easier to cut and paste into your favorite spreadsheet program. Tisean is a very new large collection of programs that analyze the data from non-linear (chaotic) systems.

Wright (wrightc@dtcweb.com) ********************************************************************** F/X Communications has released the first RADIUS compliant Remote Access Solution for OS/2. http://www.fx.dk/connect. It's been more than two years since we started development of this powerful product and now it's finally ready. Business-wise the timing of this comprehensive product is awful, but for the die-hard OS2 user/business, this product indeed has a LOT to offer and you will find the pricing and the trial conditions to be extremely fair. InJoy Connect (IC) adds Point-to-Point (PPP) Dial-In features to the InJoy product family. It's extremely easy to use and offers reliable Dial-In using normal analogue telephone lines, leased lines or ISDN (CAPI is supported through CFOS/2). An impressive set of high-end features makes IC one of the most powerful and secure software based Access Solutions available today. IC ships with several ready-to-go sample setups and the GUI is easy to comprehend, but as your requirements grow, you will appreciate strong and advanced features such as centralized management, modular/distributed design, RADIUS support, IPSec support, remote monitoring, advanced packet filtering, extensive documentation and an overall design that just won't quit. IC supports RADIUS for Authentication, Authorisation, and Accounting (a.k.a. AAA), but IC can also function as its own centralized AAA server (w/o the need for a RADIUS Server). IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) is an Internet standard for interconnected, secure networking devices and the predominant technology in Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). More information about IPSec is available at: http://www.fx.dk/ipsec InJoy Connect has been tested with a selection of TCP/IP stacks and OS/2 versions and even though this product is the first public release, then we are fully confident in IC's stability and concider it ready for business. The release of InJoy Connect is primarely targeted for OS/2 users, home or business, seeking to offer Internet/Intranet access via a standard modem based solution. Here is a few features that InJoy Connect currently does NOT offer: - Call-back. - Hot com-ports. - Multilink PPP Have fun with the product. ------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ------------------------------------------------------- --- * Origin: Druids Grove <-> Internet Gateway (1:2624/801) 157/586 801 397/1 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: feedback@os2ezine.com 17-Oct-99 05:04:20 To: All 19-Oct-99 19:20:16 Subj: [WarpCast] DSTswitch updated to 1.52 Subject: [WarpCast] DSTswitch updated to 1.52 From: "WarpCast News Service" Reply-To: "WarpCast News Service" Warpstock 99 -- Atlanta -- Oct 16-17 Early registration ends Oct 13 at 3:00 pm EDT Register now to avoid standing in line Saturday morning!

Where do you get it? -------------------- You can download SciTech Display Doctor 7.0 for OS/2 BETA 8 from our ftp site using the following URL: ftp://ftp.scitechsoft.com/sdd/beta/os2/sdd-os2-7.0.0-b8.zip What is SciTech Display Doctor for OS/2? ---------------------------------------- SciTech Display Doctor for OS/2 brings SciTech's proven DOS and Windows device support technologies to the OS/2 Operating System. Although one of the core features of our DOS and Windows products is the support for the VESA VBE/Core standard, the OS/2 version has nothing at all to do with VESA services. Rather SciTech Display Doctor for OS/2 incorporates the new SciTech Nucleus, Graphics Architecture device driver technology to bring SciTech's device support to the OS/2 platform. SciTech Nucleus is a binary portable, OS neutral, device driver architecture. As binary portable drivers, SciTech can fully develop and test the core device drivers in the DOS and Windows environments, while being able to target any Intel x86 based OS as the runtime environment (such as OS/2). This essentially allows the OS/2 product to utilise the same SciTech binary device drivers as the DOS and Windows versions of the product, improving the quality and performance of the drivers for all supported operating systems. Runtime Requirements -------------------- SciTech Display Doctor for OS/2 requires a version of OS/2 Warp 3 or OS/2 Warp 4 in order to run. More imporantly, it requires at least Warp 3 with fixpack 35, or Warp 4 with fixpack 5 installed. If you have a version with earlier fixpacks installed, SciTech Display Doctor will refuse to install. List of all supported chips: ---------------------------- This is a complete list of the various graphics cards that this version of SciTech Display Doctor supports. Please note that this list refers to the actual chips being used, not a board-level implementation. Thus you will not see any products from Hercules or STB on the list, but their products are supported because they use S3, Cirrus, Tseng, etc. chips. Also, any card with less than 512KB of memory cannot be supported by SciTech Display Doctor. . Alliance ProMotion 6422, ProMotion AT24, ProMotion AT25 . Alliance ProMotion AT3D .

For a complete list of all chipsets supported in our prior Windows and DOS products, please visit our web site. We are currently in the process of moving all our existing device support code to our new SciTech Nucleus device driver architecture. The above list only lists those drivers that have been converted, and we won't be supporting any chipsets not on the list until those drivers are properly converted. Changes in BETA 8: ------------------ . Fixed problems with the install script for Object Rexx. . Added workaround for crashes due to bugs in BVHSVGA.DLL in OS/2 fullscreen sessions. Bug fix for BVHSVGA.DLL is in the works. . Removed support for GRADD based refresh control, which has been causing problems in prior beta releases. All refresh control is done via our GACtrl fullscreen utility program. DDC Plug and Play will now automatically choose a good refresh rate if you have a Plug and Play monitor. . Temporarily removed line drawing acceleration which is broken. Proper fix will be forthcoming in the next beta release to reenable acceleration of lines. Line drawing appears to be the cause of a lot of crashes in beta 7. . Fixed (hopefully) the last bug related to too many open file handles to our device driver. This bug affects fullscreen OS/2 and windowed command line programs. . Added support for TVOut on all ATI chipsets (RageII, RagePro and Rage128). Our drivers will function correctly if you have a TV attached when your system boots, and will also allow you to switch between TV and CRT only mode using the GACtrl program. . Added support for LCD flat panels on ATI chipsets, including the Rage LT Pro and Rage Mobility series. Our drivers will function correctly if you boot up on an LCD laptop, or if you have an LCD flat panel monitor attached. You can also switch between LCD and CRT modes using the GACtrl program. . Added support for S3 Savage3D and Savage4 acceleration. Full acceleration is supported in all display modes. . Fixed bugs in the early S3 Virge (DX etc) chipsets, causing them to crash when the system booted. . Fixed bugs and added support for the early S3 Vision series of chipsets, with full acceleration. RAMDAC's currently supported are IBM RGB5xx, TVP3026 and BrookTree Bt485. . Revamped the 3dlabs Permedia drivers, and fixed a number of bugs. The drivers are still unaccelerated however, and acceleration is coming soon. . Added 3dfx Voodoo Banshee and Voodoo3 drivers. The driver currently supports all display modes, but is unaccelerated. Acceleration support is coming soon. . Added NVidia RIVA-128, RIVA-128ZX, RIVA-TNT, and RIVA-TNT2 drivers. The driver currently supports all display modes, but is unaccelerated. Acceleration support is coming soon. . Added NeoMagic chipset support, with full acceleration. However the driver will currently only function on an external CRT monitor, and will cause strange results when running on an LCD panel. We are working to get full LCD panel support working in the next beta. . Added as many IBM monitors into our monitor database as possible, based on INF files downloaded from IBM's web site. ------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ------------------------------------------------------- --- * Origin: Druids Grove <-> Internet Gateway (1:2624/801) 157/586 801 397/1 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: feedback@os2ezine.com 19-Oct-99 23:13:29 To: All 20-Oct-99 21:25:24 Subj: [WarpCast] [OS/2] Overflow Warpstock Crowd Bedazzled With Warped Jeo Subject: [WarpCast] [OS/2] Overflow Warpstock Crowd Bedazzled With Warped Jeopardy From: "WarpCast News Service" Reply-To: "WarpCast News Service" Warpstock 99 -- Atlanta -- Oct 16-17 Early registration ends Oct 13 at 3:00 pm EDT Register now to avoid standing in line Saturday morning!

Celebrity contestants David Moskowitz, Judy McDermott and Larry Finkelstein did their best to offer questions that matched the OS/2 answers given by Flint. In Warped Jeopardy!, as in the original Jeopardy television show, the host states the answers and the guests must come up with the correct questions. One perplexing answer of the day, stumping all three panelists, was "The Easiest Way To A Connected World" in the Version Taglines category. The correct response would have been the question "What is Warp 4?" In the special Audience Jeopardy round, all six of the audience contestants won Sundial product prizes with a little help from their teammates and the celebrities. Sundial's Warped Jeopardy! is a multimedia extravaganza with an OS/2 theme, complete with sound, video clips and a multimedia screen with categories and levels and, of course, answers. "It matches our Sundial Has The Answers slogan, and it's fun for the audience, the contestants and our Sundial production crew," said Flint. "The audience absolutely loves the show, and we'll continue to make it bigger, better and even more extravagant." Developing a hit product is something Sundial does well. Junk Spy, Mesa 2, Rover Pack, Relish, Clearlook and DBExpert are all part of Sundial's OS/2 product line. "We kept the spirit of the original Jeopardy in our new multimedia Warped Jeopardy! show," added Flint, "and we look forward to letting everyone think of their questions while Sundial Has The Answers." http://www.sundialsystems.com Sundial Systems Corporation 909 Electric Avenue, Suite 204 Seal Beach, California 90740 USA "Sundial Has The Answers" ------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ------------------------------------------------------- --- * Origin: Druids Grove <-> Internet Gateway (1:2624/801) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: feedback@os2ezine.com 20-Oct-99 00:03:00 To: All 20-Oct-99 21:25:24 Subj: [WarpCast] Acrobat Reader for Java [build 1,0,0,1999-08-09] availabl Subject: [WarpCast] Acrobat Reader for Java [build 1,0,0,1999-08-09] available from Adobe.com From: "WarpCast News Service" Reply-To: "WarpCast News Service" Warpstock 99 -- Atlanta -- Oct 16-17 Early registration ends Oct 13 at 3:00 pm EDT Register now to avoid standing in line Saturday morning!

It allows you to play your favorite classic, and some not-so-classic arcade games (from the 70's through the 90's) from the comfort of your OS/2 desktop. The OS/2 version has been updated to the latest version of the MAME core (.36 beta 7). If you are upgrading from beta 6, it will automatically update your Quick List and scan for newly supported games the first time you start it up so you don't have to manually rescan everything from scratch and erase your Favorites list. Please note that the official web site's URL has changed to http://emuos2.vintagegaming.com. It is still part of what used to be Dave's Video Game Classics. Dave has changed his site's name to the Vintage Gaming Network which will have more of a focus on arcade emulation.

Wright (wrightc@dtcweb.com) ********************************************************************** I have released the source code to the latest version of MAME for OS/2 on the official MAME for OS/2 homepage. If anyone is interested, they can feel free to download it from http://emuos2.vintagegaming.com. It requires GCC/PGCC, AR, LD, EMXBIND, and MAKE utilities. If all of these tools are properly installed, you should be able to unzip the source tree and type make in the top level directory to produce an executable. If anyone has any questions or comments on the code, feel free to contact me. - Marty ------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ------------------------------------------------------- --- * Origin: Druids Grove <-> Internet Gateway (1:2624/801) 157/586 801 397/1 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: feedback@os2ezine.com 22-Oct-99 08:31:14 To: All 22-Oct-99 20:05:18 Subj: [WarpCast] Serenity Systems at Warpstock Subject: [WarpCast] Serenity Systems at Warpstock From: "WarpCast News Service" Reply-To: "WarpCast News Service" Warpstock 99 -- Atlanta -- Oct 16-17 Early registration ends Oct 13 at 3:00 pm EDT Register now to avoid standing in line Saturday morning!

Wright (wrightc@dtcweb.com) ********************************************************************** First of all, I want to thank all those responsible for the event, and all those who participated. The event was significant for Serenity Systems and I'd like to relay a few of the reasons. Serenity Systems established a relationship with SciTech involving support for Display Doctor with Managed Clients(r). "Support for various video chip sets and the higher resolutions is a challenge in the remote boot, remotely managed environment. The agreeement with SciTech will significantly increase the supported hardware for Managed Clients. This will likely mean that more organizations will be able to support Managed Clients on their current equipment, making the implemention more feasible in more organizations." according to Kim Cheung, Executive Director of Serenity Systems. The relationship between SciTech and Serenity Systems will extend into future products. In addition to SciTech, Serenity Systems reached a preliminary agreement with Mensys in the Netherlands for the distribution of Managed Clients and CTI products. Exploratory discussions for a similar agreement are underway with a Mexican company for distribution to Latin American countries. Serenity Systems also carried on discussions with some prominent OS/2 ISVs regarding further development of applications to integrate the Computer Telephony Integration products with the business desktop provided by the Managed Client. The reality is ... it is the 4Q99. It will be difficult to execute in the next 60 to 90 days as all available resources are committed. Nonetheless, I believe the first 6 months of 2000 may well be the most significant for OS/2 since the Warp and Merlin rollouts. The next Warpstock is likely to be a much more exciting event as participants focus on what is and what is to come, and less focus falls on what was and what could have been. ------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ------------------------------------------------------- --- * Origin: Druids Grove <-> Internet Gateway (1:2624/801) 157/586 801 397/1 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: feedback@os2ezine.com 22-Oct-99 08:31:14 To: All 22-Oct-99 20:05:18 Subj: [WarpCast] OS poll and skills registration website Subject: [WarpCast] OS poll and skills registration website From: "WarpCast News Service" Reply-To: "WarpCast News Service" Warpstock 99 -- Atlanta -- Oct 16-17 Early registration ends Oct 13 at 3:00 pm EDT Register now to avoid standing in line Saturday morning!

Zetekoff (solution@stiscan.com) Moderator: Trevor Smith (trevor@haligonian.com) ------------------------------------------------------- Boca Raton, Florida--Solution Technology has made their Textflow Batch OCR for OS/2 Standalone product more affordable. STi was able to set a new user price of $299 (USD) due to a new licensing agreement for the OCR engine. Textflow is independent of any scanning application. The document image files can come from almost anywhere. Textflow reads multiple image files of almost any kind from a directory of your choice. Textflow quickly translates each page of each image file into a document in ASCII text or Rich Text Format (RTF) which is saved in another directory. "We are pleased that we are able to offer a high performance OS/2 OCR product for a lower cost to the end user.", said Leon Zetekoff, Product Manager of Solution Technology. STi is a major manufacturer of production level OS/2 and NT based image, barcode, and forms processing products including BarCode Anywhere, Genie Forms Express, and ReView Document Manager. In addition, the company is a principal supplier of accessory imaging support subsystems for IBM's ImagePlus=AB and VisualInfo=AB product line= as well as Input Software's InputAccel product. -30- Leon D.
