The popular Internet dialer In-Joy is out in a version 2.0 beta. This was great news for me since I couldn't get the previous versions to run on my Warp 4 system (it works very well on my Warp 3 system), while the new beta has been working flawlessly since its release.
Read about the what's new in In-Joy on the developers' home page and/or download a copy of the beta from http://www.fx.com/injoy.
If you're a programmer who wants to try a programming language not like any other language, and don't mind to "un-learn" most of your basic programming skills, then turn to Visual Prolog by Prolog Development Center (PDC) which has offices in Denmark, as well as in USA and Australia.
PDC's Prolog implementation has been around for quite a while under different names. If my memory serves me correctly, it was called Turbo Prolog and was a part of Borland's product line of "Turbo" programming languages about ten years ago, when I had the opportunity to use it a bit.
Prolog is a so-called fifth generation programming language. Basicly, (I hope I get this right), in Prolog you describe a problem and leaves it to the compiler to look for solutions. If you don't understand what I mean by this, I barely do myself, search the Internet for Prolog resources.
Visual Prolog will be presented at Warpstock '98 in Chicago (see http://www.warpstock.org/ for details).
You can download a trial version of Visual Prolog from the PDC web site, but I don't know whether the trial version is available in OS/2 flavour.
Visit PDC at http://www.pdc.dk/ or http://www.visual-prolog.com/ - the sites are mirrored.
I have it directly from the "horses mouth", Mads Orbesen Troest, Leech 2.0 will be available soon, with a number of new features including CD-ROM auto-detection, INI file handling, log file feature, and a bunch of new switches.
Being one release behind the English FixPak releases, FixPak 7 has been translated to Danish. It is located at ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/fixes/v4warp/danish/xrdm007/. I guess the Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish translations will follow shortly.
Matti P. has created a web site with news in Swedish and English, and a small collection of useful files, at http://hem.passagen.se/matti/.
As always :-), thanks to Per Johansson for supplying the Swedish link. All new links mentioned here have been added to my links page at http://www.nightcall.dk/os2links.htm.
Please do not hesitate to send me any news related to OS/2 from around the Scandinavian area.
