Mozilla's Firefox 3.0b2 (Official) for OS/2 has been released. This is a
BETA release of Firefox 3, the next generation browser based on Mozilla's
Gecko 1.9 platform. It should be used for testing and feedback purposes
only. Take a moment to review the information and suggestions in the
README.TXT file included in the archive. Some Extensions (Add-ons) may
not
yet be updated to work with Firefox 3. If you are looking to add new
Extensions, you can check the Add-ons site using the link below to see if
they are compatible with version 3.
You can download it here:
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.0b2/contrib/firefox-3.0b2.en-US.os2.zip
NOTE: This release requires the C runtime DLLs from Innotek. In the
unlikely event that you do not already have version 0.6.3 installed, it
is
available with an installer here:
ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0_6_3-csd3.wpi
NOTE: This release requires IPLUGINW.DLL to use the Java and Flash
plugins. Available here:
http://e-vertise.com/warpzilla/ipluginw20050915.xpi
or here:
http://download.innotek.de/javaos2/mozilla/ipluginw20050915.xpi
NOTE: To have both Firefox, & Thunderbird in use at the same time (or
ANY
other Mozilla app) they *MUST* be at the SAME version level, or a
mismatched DLL will still be in memory when you attempt to start a second
Mozilla based program. The easiest way to get around this limitation, and
use DIFFERENT version levels of Firefox, Thunderbird, Kompozer, etc., is
with Rich Walsh's Run! utility. It is tiny, and VERY easy to set up. To
make life even easier, I HIGHLY recommend that you download & use the
Internet Application Integration utility from Chuck McKinnis, which
actually contains the Run! utility, and sets it up for you, along with
coordinating your web browser with your email client for "mailto" links,
etc. You can find it here:
http://7cities.net/~mckinnis/code/iai1050.exe
Or, if you'd rather do it yourself, here is the Run! utility:
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/wps/run_060.zip
Firefox extensions (add-ons) that add new functionality are available

Firefox themes (skins) are available here:

SW: eComStation 2.0 RC3 "The Warpstock Europe 2007 release" disponible
By Delfi_r on Sunday 4 November 2007, 14:43 - Noticias eComStation
From: Joachim Benjamins <joachimDESPAM@DESPAMmensys.nl>
Serenity Systems International and Mensys BV are pleased to announce the
immediate availability of eComStation 2.0 RC3, The Warpstock Europe 2007
release.
This release is available to customers with an active Software
Subscriptions Services subcription. It adds a few new features and
contains
a lot of updated drivers and fixes.
More details can be found at http://www.ecomstation.com/subscription/
!!! WHEN TESTING BETA SOFTWARE, ALWAYS BE SURE TO HAVE A TRIED AND TESTED
BACKUP OF YOUR SYSTEM !!!
** Netware installation from CD1 **
It is now possible to add Netware client support to eComStation, straight
from the installation CD. This is especially important for those
customers
that have a Netware networking environment.
** Preboot harddisk integrity check **
There are several situations which may cause installation problems with
LVM
in the install process. In this release, it is possible to disable the
integrity check at page 2 (miscellaneous) of the eComStation installer
preboot menu.
** Harddisk volume resizing **
This version has a custom DFSee engine that enables reliable RESIZING of
FAT32 and NTFS filesystems to allow shrinking an existing Windows
installation to make room for eComStation on the same system. The DFSee
//
engine included in RC3 is at level 9.02.
The GUI to this tool has been updated and is now using a graphical
interface. To invoke it, please select 'Paritition Resizing Tool' from
the
Installation Volume Manager which can be called during installation
(choose
'New Volume' to start MiniLVM).
** Bootable JFS **
This release of eComStation contains the option to install the operating
system on a JFS volume. The advantage of doing this is that the amount of
diskcache is only limited by system memory (typically 10% of available
memory is assigned) This increased cache size gives a huge gain in
overall
system performance.
** Genmac 2.1 Experimental **
This package provides generic driver support for several network
interface
cards under OS/2 and eComStation. Moreover, Genmac is enabled to support
WPA encryption with the Wireless LAN Monitor 3.x or better.
Genmac and the Wireless LAN monitor will be installed when the
appropriate
hardware is detected by the installer. If it is not detected, you can
manually select the driver in the network installation dialog.
Version 2.1 of GenMac now supports the NETBEUI protocol.
Version 2.1 of GenMac now offers suspend & resume on a limited set of
network adapters (when used in conjunction with ACPI) - this is an
*experimental* feature.
** ACPI 3.04 & APM 1.19 **
Support for ACPI is available in this release. The current version is
3.04. ACPI will be automatically enabled if appropriate hardware is
detected. You can manually enable or disable ACPI support at page 4 (USB
&
ACPI) of the eComStation installer preboot menu.
** multicore CPU support **
This release supports the installation of eComStation on a MultiCore CPU
computer. This includes Intel Core Duo , Core2 Duo and AMD 64 X2. To
enable it, you can do so in the ACPI Wizard that is launched from the Post
//
Installation tasks at the end of the installation. Alternatively you can
start the ACPI Wizard at any time from the install/remove folder in the
Local System folder on the desktop.
** eComStation Virtual File System (Samba client support) **
Samba is a SMB/CIFS protocols file and print sharing server/client set
originally made for UNIX world to cooperate with corresponding Windows
and
OS/2 servers or clients. eComStation has a native implementation of
SMB/CIFS server/client set - IBM LAN Manager and IBM Peer. These products
have not been recently updated and may have some compatibility issues
with
modern Windows SMB/CIFS implementations.
Serenity Systems International has reached an agreement with Blueprint
Software Works for the inclusion of the 'eComStation Virtual File System'
driver which provides support for Samba Client.
== REPORTING ==
To tell us your findings, please create a report at:

You are also welcome to join the TestTeam if you want to discuss this
beta
and future developments. See http://ewiki.ecomstation.nl/TestTeam
for more
details.
== SOFTWARE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES ==
Please note that although some subscriptions have expired by now, you are
not required to purchase a renewal to obtain the GA version of
eComStation
2.0. If you want to try this RC2 release however, you are encouraged to
renew your Software Subscription Services contract.

From: Roland Schmalenberg <roland.schmalenbergDESPAM@DESPAMlycosxxl.de>
Antes de ayer el equipo TYPO-3 publicó TYPO3 version 4.1.3 con algunas
correcciones de errores referidas a las extensiones HTMLArea y IRRE (Inline
Relational Record Editing).
Durante nuestra presencia en Munich Sytems 2007, en el que representamos el
conocido
"Voyager project" de netlabs.org, cambié mi
script, completé las pruebas y subí GetTYPO3v4forOS2 versión 2.11.
¿Qué es TYPO3?
Para los que no lo conozcan, TYPO3 es un sistema de gestion de contenidos (CMS) de código abierto publicado bajo la licencia GPL. Más información en http://typo3.com/ y de interes para desarrolladores en http://typo3.org/
¿Dónde conseguirlo y que requisitos tiene?
You are able to download the script package from the home of "TYPO3
goes
eComStation", http://os4you.org/typo3goesecomstation.html
All you need to
run is a working OAMP or AMP4eCS (OS/2+Apache+MySQL+PHP, WPI available
from
//
http://www.amp4ecs.de/ ), my package and time to study 
Hint for TYPO3-Beginners
------------------------
Those who want to use that CMS with OS/2 or eComStation the first time
should start with reading our documentation (available in English, Dutch,
French and German) for the TYPO3 version 3.8.x (outdated but still
available) and examin the quickstart-package.
All others will be recommended to use the latest versions ...

Unidades extraíbles USB (MSD): cómo usar y formatear (también en FAT32)
By Delfi_r on Thursday 27 September 2007, 02:43 - Proyectos de EST2000SL
La idea de este documento es posibilitar el uso de unidades
extraíbles USB (discos duros portáiles, PenDrive, Memory Stick, etc.)
en eCS /OS2 teniendo en cuenta los problemas típicos que se
presentan con las letras de unidad, etc.
Se supone que se encuentran instalados en el sistema los controladores USB
necesarios para acceder físicamente a los dispositivos y que estos se reconocen
adecuadamente -a nivel físico- (p.e. utilizando DFSee o LVM el tamaño que se
muestra para el dispositivo es correcto). De igual forma, se supone que se
encuentran adecuadamente instalados y configurados los IFS adecuados para leer
y escribir en el (los) sistema(s) de archivos que se quieran utilizar en dicho
dispositivo: JFS, NTFS, FAT32, etc.
También se supone que el usuario tiene un conocimiento básico de cómo crear
y suprimir volúmenes o particiones utilizando las herramientas de disco LVM y
DFSee.
Establecido esto, pasamos al tema propiamente dicho:
- Conectar el dispositivo USB. Tomará una letra de unidad, digamos X:. Si estamos en un sistema eCS 1.2, esto se realiza de forma automática. En sistemas más antiguos, hay que ejecutar el mandato 'LVM /RediscoverPRM' al conectar el dispositivo para que tome la letra.
- Si se puede acceder a la unidad X: como se desea, hemos terminado; si no, seguimos:
- Ejecutar LVM; y comprobar que informa de que la tabla de partición del disco N (el dispositivo USB) está corrupta (probablemente informe de más de un disco, atentos a esto). Salir de LVM sin cambiar nada (de todas formas, fallará sin avisar al intentarlo).
- Utilizar DFSee para eliminar todas las particiones del dispositivo. Salir.
- Desconectar el dispositivo mediante el mandato 'eject X:'.
- Volver a conectar el dispositivo. Tomará una letra de unidad Y:, probablemente la misma que antes, pero NO debería poder accederse a ella. Ejecutar LVM y comprobar que ya NO informa de que la tabla de partición del dispositivo en cuestión esté corrupta. Si es así, hasta aquí se cumplen las previsiones.
En este momento hay dos opciones:
- Utilizar el dispositivo como 'disquete grande' en FAT16. Desventajas: las usuales del sistema de archivos FAT, y que sólo podrán usarse 2 GB del dispositivo como máximo. Basta con salir de LVM sin hacer cambios y ejecutar el mandato 'format Y:'; hemos terminado.
- Particionar el dispositivo, si lo admite (probabilidad del 99.99% si es de capacidad >2GB) y formatear adecuadamente las particiones, que pueden ser una o varias. Cómo hacerlo:
- LVM permite crear directamente volúmenes de datos (deben ser 'volúmenes de compatibilidad') sobre el dispositivo. No obstante, es recomendable crear primero las particiones para poder elegir el tipo (primaria/lógica) y la posición y luego crear volúmenes 'a partir de particiones existentes'.
- Al crear el(los) volumen(es) en el dispositivo cada uno tendrá su propia letra de unidad, asignada durante el proceso de creación. Guardar cambios y salir.
Nota: 'expulsar' una unidad contenida en el dispositivo fuerza la expulsión del dispositivo y la desconexión forzosa de todas las letras de unidad de los volúmenes que contenga.
- Llamemos 'Z:' a uno de los volúmenes recién creados en el dispositivo.
Si queremos usar FAT, HPFS o JFS en esa unidad, sólo necesitamos ejecutar el mandato 'format Z: /FS:XYZ' y listos.
Si queremos usar FAT32, (imprescindible en unidades de 4 Gb o superioes que debanusarse en cámaras digitales, hay dos caminos:
1- con DFSee
- Formatear _la partición_ con DFSee.
- Mandato 'eject Z:'
- Reiniciar el sistema (no es necesario con la versión buena del driver FAT32 instalado, pero mejor hacerlo por si acaso).
2- usando Windows
- Mandato 'eject Z:'
- Reiniciar
- Formatear la partición (sin destruirla y volver a crearla) desde un sistema Windows; poco recomendable de todas formas.
Para usar NTFS, es conveniente utilizar la forma 2).

'TYPO3 goes eComStation' actualizado
By Delfi_r on Wednesday 18 July 2007, 11:40 - Noticias eComStation
Hi folks,
yesterday the TYPO3-team released TYPO3 version 4.1.2 and 4.0.7 with some
bugfixes, improved code quality and debugging mode for user generated SQL
queries. I've got the time to change my script today and have finished the
tests, so a new version for getting TYPO3 to run on base of OS/2 or
eComStation known as "TYPO3 goes eComStation" is out, too.
What is TYPO3?
--------------
For those people not knowing TYPO3 yet it should be mentioned that TYPO3 is
a free Open Source Web Content Management System, released under GPL. More
informations can be found at http://typo3.com/ or for developers at
http://typo3.org/
Where to get, what to need?
---------------------------
You are able to download the script package from the home of "TYPO3 goes
eComStation", http://os4you.org/typo3goesecomstation.html All you need to
run is a working OAMP or AMP4eCS (OS/2+Apache+MySQL+PHP, WPI available from
http://www.amp4ecs. // de/ ), my package and time to study

Hint for TYPO3-Beginners
------------------------
Those who want to use that CMS with OS/2 or eComStation the first time
should start with reading our documentation (available in English, Dutch,
French and German) for the TYPO3 version 3.8.x (outdated but still
available) and exam the quickstart-package.
All others will be recommended to use the latest versions ...
Yours sincerly
Roland Schmalenberg
Team TYPO3 goes eComStation (TT3geCS)
TYPO3 4.1.2 Short installation guide for impatient folks Download GetTYPO3v4forOS2.zip to your OS/2-PC, unpack to any place
- Open command line in that new folder, call GetTYPO3v4forOS2.cmd with option -t4:1
- Move resulting folder "dummy-4.1.2" to data folder \htdocs of your apache server
- Create an empty data file ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL in folder \typo3conf Start server "Apache" and "MySQL", call localhost/dummy-4.1.2/ in your favorite browser More within a short time ...
Here is a collection of screenshots from the TYPO3 backend. They will give you a general idea of the internal modules, capabilities and concepts of the system. If you would like to see these features in action, please download the package.
Click any of the images to see an enlarged version in a new window.
The TYPO3 backend
|
TYPO3 has a backend divided into three main areas: The modules menu (left), the page tree (left/middle) and the module workarea (right). In the top frame, additional options occasionally appear and the bottom frame is used for user defined shortcuts.
The interface is optimized for 1024x768 but can be configured in a variety of ways that allows it to work efficiently at smaller screen resolutions. Furthermore, the interface is constructed to load fast and work with virtually any graphical browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera, Konqueror) on any operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux).
The 'Web > Page' module
![]() |
The Page Module is where most site editing of pages and page content is done. Selecting the module will show the architecture of the website in the Navigation Pane. The architecture is represented as a tree structure showing the relationship of pages to each other. The pages visible in the tree are ones that you have rights to access and edit. This is the module that website editors and contributers will use most.
The 'Web > View' module
![]() |
This module shows the page architecture and then a preview of the selected web page as it will appear in the Front End. You are also able to edit page content directly on the previewed page.
The 'Web > List' module
![]() |
The List module shows all the content records stored for the page. This is useful for viewing the records for users, content items, addresses and templates related to a page. Some extensions like the guestbook extension save records on a particular page or in a system folder; the List Module is useful for viewing and editing these records.
The 'Web > Access' module
![]() |
Access control in TYPO3 is done on multiple levels. Apart from access defined for modules, tables and tablefields, every page has an owner, group and settings for each of them. Page permissions can also be set here by Administrative users.
The 'File > Filelist' module
![]() |
File management is an integral part of the system. You can configure TYPO3 to mount any path on the server and then allow certain backend users/groups to store files in those folders. Files can be uploaded, renamed, copied, moved, deleted - even edited online! Selecting an image folder enables a thumbnail view (a smaller view like those you can see on the left hand side) of the images in a folder. Other image information such as size, date of upload and file type is shown with the image.
The 'User > Setup' module
![]() |
Enables editing of Backend (BE) Users' personal setup details. Editable features include name, username, email address, password, BE language (more then 40 langauges are available) and BE layout preferences.
The 'New page' wizard
![]() |
Creating new pages is very easy. As you create pages, TYPO3 will organize them in the hierarchy of the page tree. If you want to change your site architecture, you can simply move the pages around within the system.
The 'Page content' elements
![]() |
Page content types are selected when adding a new content element. Page content types can be changed at any time from the pull-down 'Type' menu at the top of the content element. The two most commonly used elements are text and image elements. In one page, you can use multiple content elements.
The RTE editor
![]() |
TYPO3 features a Rich Text Editor which allows WYSIWYG editing of the web pages. This resembles Word or any other word processor so closely that users will find it extremely intuitive to operate. As an administrator, you can configure it to display your stylesheet classes and filter unwanted HTML.
Frontend editing
![]() |
When backend users are logged in, the web pages may display small control panels and 'edit icons'. These provide an intuitive, context-oriented way of editing content on directly on the web pages. If you need to edit something while browsing the website, simply click the little pencil icon near the object. It's that easy!
Mailform wizard
![]() |
With the mailform wizard, you can easily add a web form with customizable fields such as text fields, radio buttons, selector boxes, file upload fields, etc.
Backend user administration
![]() |
Backend users are allowed to log into the TYPO3 backend and do permitted actions. Each user can also be a member of one or more groups and each group can include sub-groups. Groups contain the main permission settings you can set for each user. Many users can be a member of the same group and, thus, share permissions.
Extension manager
![]() |
With the extension kickstarter wizard, the framework for new extensions can be built very easily. A basic frontend output can be created, but further coding is necessary.
Third party products
![]() |
Third party products can be integrated seamlessly into TYPO3. For example, the popular GPL-application, phpMyAdmin, is available by default for admin users. It is preconfigured with the current database of TYPO3 and access is managed automatically by TYPO3. phpMyAdmin allows administrators to do really low level operation of the database.
Install Tool
![]() |
The Install Tool ensures that the installation and upgrade process of TYPO3 is easy. Each time TYPO3 releases a new version or preview, the main database structure may be altered. The Install Tool will automatically identify which changes are needed in order to upgrade the database and with a single click, those changes are performed. TYPO3 is a very comprehensive system which currently runs on nearly any PHP-enabled server. However, the more exotic features, like the powerful image generation engine requires special software. The Install Tool provides tools for analysis and bug-tracking of the installation.
