Astrolog 0.99 released
Magnus Olsson known for WarpCalc, has released Astrolog 0.99
Astrolog is a classic when it comes to astrology software, not only is it 100
percent open source software, but it is also the most complete, and most flexible
astrology calculation program ever made freely available.
New:
1. Dynamic scrolling (tracking slider) in both graphics and text displays.
2. MLE control replaced by custom solution with keyboard scrolling. This solution
may be somewhat faster and will also make it possible to display text in different
colors. Please let me know if you are interested, since that will provide the motivation
I need.
3. Changes allowing for planetary orbs (used in classical astrology). Defaults are
changed for planets and aspect settings, but unless you delete your .INI file, you
will keep your present settings.
4. DrawWheel: Fixed alignment of lines and arcs. XChartWheel and XChartWheelRelation:
Aspect lines are dotted according to dynamic orb (instead of fixed aspect orbs).
5. ChartAspectRelation: Upgraded 16-bit legacy limit to INT_MAX, so that also the
most important inter aspects are included...

WeirdX 1.0.27 released
WeirdX is an X Window System server in pure Java under GNU GPL. It is derived
from WiredX-Lite and will run on any platforms which support Java 1.1. This X server
will not be suitable to exec heavy x clients, but you may find that twm, xterm,
etc. will run fine on it.
http://www.jcraft.com/weirdx/

............................
- renamed the window mode 'MultiWindow' as 'Rootless'. In this mode, you have to
run an X window manager.

mode of WeirdX 1.0.26; title bars will be attached to window frames. - improved
to support the 'RootlessWM' mode.
* The close button on the title bar will work correctly.
* The name of window will be displayed on the title bar.
* The tile bar will not be attached to pop-up menu and pop-up window.
* The input focus will be handled.
- modified the root window to be invisible in the 'Rootless' and 'RootlessWM' mode.
- fixed a bug in typing '_' on MacOSX.
Data Shield ~Enhanced E updates
Data Shield and the Enhanced E Editor have been updated to v1.4 and v2.4 respectively.
Data Shield is a secure deletion program that removes sensitive information from
a hard drive. Normally, deleting a file only marks the file as deleted on your drive
but the data remains and may still be recovered. Data Shield will obliterate it
so that data may not be recovered by overwriting it x number of times or according
to Department of Defense specification.
It has options to do a standard or secure delete on:
Individual files
File listings
Contents of a directory
A directory tree
Complete drives
Freespace on a given drive
TMP, TEMP or DELETE directories
Netscape browser cache
Netscape history and drop down history list
Data Shield will automatically find standard installations of Netscape 2.02,
4.04, 4.61 or 6.0 and offer to clean any part of it according to the versions need.
In this version we have included the routines to securely overwrite and clean
entries for the new IBM Browser as well as a few changes in file deletion routines
to increase effectiveness.
If you have sensitive data on a drive (financial records or client lists for
example) never give away or sell the drive without cleaning it thoroughly.
The Enhanced E has a few new features and fixes also. New items in v2.4:
Added ascii character viewer and insert tool.
Strip trailing spaces also when "Strip # chars"
Fixed "Strip # chars" when "Left" is greater than LineLength
Changed hot-keys for ClipText.
Data Shield is not for sale separately but is available as part of the PillarSoft
Suite. The Enhanced E is $25 and is available through BMT Micro, Mensys and others.
Take a peek at our website for more information on the Enhanced E and Data Shield.
The PillarSoft Suite has been updated to contain both of these programs plus
11 more OS/2 and eCS specific programs for only $129.
Note: The $99 PillarSoft Suite special remains in effect for a few more days.
You can take advantage of this great price on a full suite of OS/2 and eCS software
until June 4th.

Indelible Blue: eComStation and WarpUP users
To All WarpUP and eComStation customers:
Effective immediately, Prism Data Works is handling all fulfillment for WarpUP
and eComStation orders. The reason for this change is that Indelible Blue is closing
its operations on May 31, 2001.
We regret this decision, but the current structure and obligations of the company
do not allow for continued operations. The decision is a result of changes in distribution
channels, high overhead, and the current economic slowdown--it should not be construed
as an abandonment of the OS/2 community. We cannot tell you how much it has meant
to us personally to be involved with this group of people over the past eight years.
We hope to maintain those relationships.
Prism Data Works has been founded by the owners of Indelible Blue primarily to
provide IT services. Prism will fulfill all of Indelible Blue's obligations to WarpUP
and eComStation customers. Duane Chamblee, the author of WarpUP and contributor
to eComStation, will be affiliated with the new company and will continue to provide
support for both products.
Our goal is a seamless transition for Indelible Blue customers who have purchased
these products. IB email addresses and phone numbers will remain active and all
customer records are being transferred. All of IB's obligations to you will be honored
by Prism. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any concerns--you
know where to find us.
Best Regards,

ZOC 4.01 released http://www.emtec.com/zoc/index.htm New Java 1.1.8 update Moderator's note: According to the fixes.html file this new update includes the
following updates since the last update - Jan 14, 2001 Indelible Blue Closes=Prism Dataworks Opens eCS customers who ordered from Indelible Blue should be aware that IB is restructuring,
creating new companies which will focus on specific lines of business. For eCS customers,
this means that their order fulfillment will be done by a new company with some
familiar faces. The new company is Prism Dataworks. The familiar faces are Einstein, Katy Ansardi
and Buck Bohac. Buck and Katy, who were the founders and principals of IB, are the
founders and principals of Prism. For eCS customers who ordered from IB, this means nothing more than your reseller
has a new name. But the change will in no way effect your orders. http://www.Serenity-Systems.com PTime 0.80 PTime/2 is a OS/2 program for recording and evaluating of project times. With
PTime you are able to record the time needed for projects or orders fast and easy.
