Lots of modifications in the templates handling.
The template name is now seperated from the program name and is now under the template list.
When adding (saving) a new template it checks and don't accept the same filename.
A message pops up; file exist.
Added a template save button to save the current template again when modifications are made.
When saving a program or template and there is not a name given (the field is empty)then a message pops up to tell there is no name and the save gets aborted.
When new buton was pressed the templates and program list were reloade from disk destroying the updates from current session, is fixed now.
I noticed that since a certain ? update the Eatmem option was messed up, fixed.
(I could use some feedback, specially on options-combinations not often used)

The application is a Java program which has been pre-compiled for use on OS/2. Running as native code makes the application generally quicker and more responsive.
The application has its own look-and-feel. This provides a consistent interface regardless of the host system.
OS/2 users may be interested in this application for a number of reasons:
- It is written in Java but packaged as an OS/2 native code program.
- It is a family history program available first on OS/2, but also to be available on the Microsoft Windows series with data compatibility between operating systems.
This beta will be of particular interest to those people who like to see how well programs will read the various varieties of Gedcom files.
This current beta version expires at the end of June 2007.

Hayo Baan's bootAble Updated
Latest Release: 4.4 (13/03/2007)by Hayo Baan
>>> http://www.xs4all.nl/~hrbaan/bootAble/index.html <<<
"bootAble is an OS/2/eCS script to create a maintenance partition or a bootable CD/DVD. This partition or CD/DVD supports enough facilities to fully manage and recover your system."
Dear bootAble users,
It has been a while since the last update to bootAble, but finally there is another oneThis 4.4 release is basically a bug fix, with only minor enhancements to the functionality. The next thing I am going to work at is the integration of the Microsoft Virtual Machine additions, especially the mouse integration. For this, I may need to revamp the display driver integration (so far I have been unable to get the mouse integration to work), so this may take a while (if I can get it to work at all)...
v4.4 (13/03/2007)
Renamed CDRECORDCLEANDIR
to CDRECORDCLEANDIRBEFORE;
Now cleaning-up temp image files after creating the ISO file or burning the CD/DVD (CDRECORDCLEANDIRAFTER); You can now separately specify whether or not the Enhanced Editor
(EPM) should be added to a WPS system (WPSEPM, used to be included with WPSAPPS); Fixed bug in dirExists funtion, it now also correctly recognizes drives/root directories as valid. As a result, the SEARCHPATH can now contain root directories as well; Fixed bug with location of PEER related files when cloning a CD/DVD to a (maintenance) partition (CLONECD); The script now ignores errors when determining the cdrecorder device (cdRecorderDevice function) when only an ISO will be created (CDRECORDCREATEISOONLY='Yes'); cloneCD.cmd will not automatically add asked questions to the previously used file anymore as this could fail if the path does not exist on the booted system, and could be undesirable anyway (WRITEASKEDTOFILE and WRITEASKEDTOFILENAME); For the same reason, bootAble now removes the SIO logfile parameters in the default situation (SIOSERIALPORTOPTIONS, SIO2KSERIALPORTOPTIONS, SIO2KUARTOPTIONS).

Most important functional changes since 8.11:
- CD Display current working directory without an error
- CHECK NTFS, fix alloc error messages on split-tree DIR
- CR dlg Fix size=1 sticking after a BMGR partition is made
- FORMAT Use drive locking during format (on OS2 and Windows)
- LOCK Support lock-by-driveletter for large floppy format
- LVM dlg Update of driveletters works again (bug in 8.11)
- MAP Fixed display of driveletter line with 'map * +'
- MENU Display -> Other partition views; fixed, better help
- MENU Mode=FDISK -> Set Partition -> Not active, clear flag
- NTFS Recognize Windows Vista NTLDR sectors (named BOOTMGR)
- PART LVM column aligned if > 98 cols, using max 114 cols
- PART -b Align freespace lines for Linux in its default table
- RESIZE Allow '*' for default/maximum size in the dialog
- RESIZE NTFS, avoid empty bitmap extent on expanding the FS
- RESIZE NTFS, avoid extra bitmap flushing after updating it
- STORE Better understandable store description texts
- WIPE -V Perform an all-sector verify by reading back
Known bug (in version 8.11 and 8.12)
When creating LVM/JFS volumes (type 35) with DFSee, do NOT check both:
( ) Create NEW mode, clear existing bootsector and old LVM info
and
[x] Include LVM information
Since that currently interferes with creating the extra info. This problem
is under investigation and wil be solved in 8.13. Using either one of them
is OK, but not both at the same time.
