More reviews at BlueNexus web-site: eCo Market

2011-09-18 19:14:30 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [ecomstation.ru]

Craig Miller published new reviews of software for eComStation / IBM OS/2 Warp.

1) Review of eCo Market - This program is for browsing and downloading some of the available software.

2) Review of BioGraph 1.3. BioGraph version 1.3 is now free to use so I thought it would be fun to do a review on an application that was not really an application nor a game. BioGraph version 1.3 is based on the western scientific theory of biorhythms, and contains additional features based upon oriental philosophy. Knowing your biorhythms, you can be sure about what to expect from each day in order to succeed at sports, dating, business, negotiations, exams, or job interviews. It works like a magic mirror, helping you to know the full potential of your capabilities, and prevent rash decisions during critical days.

3) Trials of Battle review is now up at BlueNexus!. Trials of Battle (TOB) is best described as a multiplayer, multivehicle simulator, that is designed to facilitate fast paced, close quarters combat. There is no blowing up an unseen enemy radar blip from 10 miles away with a long range missile. This is up close and personal, in your face combat, with mainly short range weapons and the vehicle of your choice.

There is a single player game in there but TOB was made for multiplayer, but is anyone around to play anymore, is the game even with the time to try? Where the hell is the manual!?!?

4) Stardock's OS/2 Essentials Version 2.0 review. OS/2 Essentials was made in the day of OS/2 Warp 4, when there were indeed things missing. There were no screen savers built into Warp 4, no the Trash Can, and other things you would assume would be a standard item. Today, there is no need for those "Essentials" when you have eCS. So you do not "need" OS/2 Essentials, but is there still programs on this CD worth using in todayôs modern eCS system? You know the drill, read the review, download the CD!


eCo Market: Updating eComStation

2011-09-07 12:44:11 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [ecomstation.ru]

New version of eCo Market is released - Test eCo Market now (If you don't see icons of apps then remove Market.cfg file). (on-line version of catalogue)

eCo Software continues to select applications for the catalogue. This requires many efforts: talk with users, companies (in other words scan the area of eComStation usage).

 

A) Use eCo Market to upgrade the operating system. You can install unofficial fixpak, update drivers and system utilities.

B) WarpIn TOTAL news: More programs were packed to WarpIn (doesn't relate to eCo Market directly):

  • DejaVu Fonts (packed by Oliver Cremer)
  • Cardo font
  • PMVNC WarpIn Pack - Server 1.02 and Client 1.04 (hobbes)
  • Maps/2 - viewer of maps from different sources

SNAP video for OS/2 and eComStation acquired

2011-07-22 16:17:04 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [OS2VOICE]

Mensys B.V. of the Netherlands has acquired the source code and rights to create binary distributions of the SNAP product for OS/2 in an agreement with the company Alt Richmond Inc. of Canada. The SNAP graphics driver provides high performance support for current graphic chipsets on eComStation.

"The SNAP acquisition fits the Mensys strategy to continue to provide ongoing support for the OS/2 operating system", says Roderick Klein of Mensys B.V. "We believe that in combination with the Panorama video driver technology we will be able to create the best performing generic video driver for eComStation to date. We are delighted that we have been able to acquire this code and are very happy with the cooperation, responsiveness and profesionalism of Alt Richmond."

Developers that are interested in helping with the fusion of SNAP and Panorama are welcome to contact Mensys: ecomstation@mensys.nl

PCI Dock - new utility for eComStation

2011-06-19 02:42:19 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [ecomstation.ru]

If eComStation PC doesn't work properly (USB troubles / network is slow / can't run with 2 CPUs / applications crash) then make some efforts, analyze the problems and setup the system.

Usually the problems occur because of IRQ conflicts.

SearchPlus 2.0 Review is up at blueNexus

2011-06-13 21:46:02 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [bluenexus.net]

As peoples hard drives get larger, it becomes more of a hassle to find things, and after time you just forget where those pictures are that you need to delete before the wife finds them (ya, you know the ones). While eComStation does have a search program called PMSEEK 2.0, it is very long in the tooth and limited in what it can do.

SearchPlus locates files and or directories quickly by searching multiple locations simultaneously by using parallel processing thus avoiding time consuming sequential searches. SearchPlus is a native eComStation program that brings the eCS search function, if not to the future, to the present in terms of it's power.

This review puts SearchPlus and PMSEEK head to head, see if you should download SearchPlus or keep with what comes with eCS.
