Review of eComStation 1.0

New kernels at IBM Testcase

2001-09-14 16:25:04 -- Deniska [#os2russian]

At IBM Testcase (ftp://testcase.boulder.ibm.com/ps/fromibm/os2/) there are kernels as of 14.09.2001. This is not very unusual, except for one thing. These kernels have new function, which is controlled by CONFIG.SYS CLOCKSCALE variable. Using this function you can increase frequency on context switching in kernel. This should speed up several programs (according to readme). You also have to install enclosed CLOCK01.SYS to use this function.

OS/2 Headquarters Artikel

OS/2 Headquarters (http://www.os2hq.com/) hat die September 2001 Ausgabe von "The Warped Perspective" voroeffentlicht. Hier werden die marktabhaengigen Gruende dargelegt warum OS/2 stabiler und zuverlaessiger als Microsoft Producte ist.

If the answer is yes it may be worth your while to visit http://www.os2voice.org/VNL/past_issues/VNL0901H/vnewsf5.htm. To have a read about MultiDesk, a Multi User "add on" for OS/2 which allows every User to have their own Desktop, WarpCenter and Sound Schemes - click the link in the review to find out "How To" add the Mutli User Sound. While I have not tried it with eCS yet, having only just installed eCS, I think it should work without any problems barring any major differences in the INI file templates between the two systems.

Mensys has released a documentation with tips on getting eCS installed, up and running.

A Special Report has been posted at OS/2 Headquarters reviewing IBM's long-shot gambit to replace Wintel with PowerPC running OS/2 -- and how the failure of the PowerPC version of OS/2 led to IBM's current internal division over OS/2's future.

This is just a short note to let everyone know that the Warp Doctor Team IRC meetings have been changed to Sunday's at 2:00 PM EDT, (18:00 GMT) thanks to everyone who participated in our poll! This will go into effect next Sunday (September, 2nd) since we already had our meeting for this week.

Meetings take place in #warpdoctor on the WEBBnet IRC network. For more on IRC and WEBBnet see http://www.os2voice.org/meetinginfo.html. To convert to other time zones you can use the Time Zone Converter at http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc

The new day and time was selected by input from a survey of Warp Doctor supporters. We hope that more people find this new day/time convenient and can attend these meetings. We need everyone's input and assistance to get this project up and running so that we may provide help and support to the OS/2 community. Warp Doctor is a VOICE project and funded by the VOICE membership dues. As with most of the VOICE resources, Warp Doctor will be freely available to all OS/2 users.

The objective of Warp Doctor is to support the information, software, and hardware needs of the OS/2 Community. Warp Doctor was conceived by Dr. Dirk Terrell, the late Dan Casey and others, as a replacement for the old Warp Pharmacy site. Warp Doctor will provide a support facility with the goal of assisting the OS/2 Community in efforts to resolve problems and provide guidance on system operation, tuning and selection. WarpDoctor will assist with resolving both hardware and software issues. In additon, WarpDoctor will assist with application installation and use.
