Chris Wohlgemuth has ported the VCDTools to OS/2

2001-08-23 17:34:36 -- VOICENWS, Klaus Staedtler

Video CDs are ordinary CDROMs in a special format which contain MPEG-1 encoded video.

For long times this type of CD was mostly known in Asia whereas Video CDs and the according players were mostly unknown in the USA and Europe. Since almost every DVD player can also play VCDs (and since the recordable Video DVD for a reasonable price seems still far away) VCDs are getting more popular everywhere. VCDs use a special type of CD sectors (mode 2 form 2) and have a special form of the filesystem.

DFSee 4.02

2001-08-23 17:25:59 -- VOICENWS, Jan van Wijk

For those of you that don't know DFSee yet, it is an FDISK-like, display, analysis and recovery tool for disks and filesystems.

DFSee is a command-line and text-only utility (no GUI). This allows usage from simple boot-diskettes for recovery. The package includes an OS/2, Win-NT and DOS version.

DFSee can be downloaded from my web-site, but after evaluation, and for all real use you are required to get a registration. It can be purchased from the Mensys online shop for about US $18.

Details can be found at http://www.fsys.demon.nl/dfsee.htm.

Version 4.02 updates and fixes:

• New argv/option parser used (recover -u -8.3 -q ...)
• Better scaling in FAT alloc display; show last-used cluster - Fixed find-free BMPRIMARY entry causing create to fail - Fixed HPFS 'fixboot' with wrong superblock contents
• Fixed NTFS 'findroot' when start is no MFT record
• Read-failure msg on OpenDisk (error 31)
• Fixed HPFS delfind for invalid parent Fnode

Registering DFSee will give you the right to use all 4.xx versions and get support plus a reasonable amount of assistance by email.

But even more important, it enables further development of DFSee!

Regards, Jan van Wijk

PS: I will be on a vacation until the 15th of september, so email will not be answered until then... The good news: I will have some time to work on DFSee too :-)

Сказали мне - ecomstation.ru!
Все бросив я туда бегу.
Сервер что надо, но никак не пойму,
Даже статеечки, даже картиночки, даже фигни какой-нть про OS/2,
а не то чтоб там стать или картинки, не-е-ет, ничего этого нет.
пингвины только скалятся......

Один из способов зарабатывать деньги.

2001-08-21 14:52:38 -- www.innotek.de, Eugene Gorbunoff

На рынке OS/2 тишина... Никаких крупных проектов вроде бы не разрабатывается. Тем не менее, людям нужно на чем-то зарабатывать деньги.

Наша любимая фирма Innotek (в частности, известная тем, что выпустила Flash-плагин для Netscape) занимается доработкой приложений Windows, чтобы они могли запускаться из под Odin'а.

Вот что написано на сайте фирмы InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH:

Каждое предприятие, на компьютерах которого установлена IBM OS/2 Warp или IBM Workspace On Demand, встречается с необходимостью постоянного применения программ Windows/32. Кроме стандартного ПО, такого как Lotus Notes, Lotus SmartSuite или Netscape, а также созданного на заказ родного осевого софта, существует много продуктов от "третьих фирм", которые нужны вам для бизнеса.

Часто, такие программы создаются лишь для Microsoft Windows/32, а версий для OS/2 либо не существует, либо доступна лишь старая версия. Причем портирование программы в среду OS/2 невозможно из-за дороговизны.

Решение проблемы

В этом случае, Innotek предлагает эффективное по стоимости решение по доработке Windows/32 приложений в нативные (родные для OS/2). Это превращение можно осуществить с помощью библиотек ODIN'а, которые позволяют выполнять Win32 приложение в среде OS/2, как родное без каких-либо потерь в производительности и с полным сохранением функциональности.

Комментарий редактора:
Цель публикации этой информации - показать, чем можно заниматься, если вы хотите обогатить OS/2 новым полезным софтом, а свою жену - деньгами.
