Hi, short time ago on this list I mentioned "everblue" being the reason, why IMHO a port to native OS/2 PM might not be a top priority (yet it might reduce overhead and improve stability, though). Maybe someone wondered what I was speaking about. So the following just for the record (and the curious): ==================BEGIN FORWARDED MESSAGE================== >Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Received: from trancentral ([212.74.44.49]) by mail.primeline.ch > (Post.Office MTA v3.5.1 release 219 ID# 0-61525U1000L100S0V35) > with SMTP id ch; Thu, 7 Oct 1999 22:52:06 +0200 >From: "Adrian Gschwend" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "GIMP Mailinglist" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, > "XFree86 OS/2" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, > "Win32-OS/2" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, > "Everblue" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, > "Buntspecht News" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, > "Loren Bandiera" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, > "Luc Van Bogaert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, > "Nick Marc" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "OS/2 News Service" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, > "Roman Eglin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, > "Steve Wendt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, > "VOICE Newsletter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, > "Warpcast" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Date: Thu, 07 Oct 1999 22:56:49 +0200 (CDT) >X-Mailer: PMMail 2.00.1500 for OS/2 Warp 4.05 >MIME-Version: 1.0 >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" >Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >Subject: [XFreeOS2] EverBlue beta drop >Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Precedence: bulk >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >X-UIDL: e74a13d36040adf7cc57e80705db717b > Today Brian Smith released the first beta of EverBlue, the XLib-PM implementation for OS/2 which allows you to compile Xlib (Unix/Linux) applications as native PM applications. The beta is not really usable for endusers but developers can use it to compile PM versions of X-Applications. There is just a small demo included so maybe it does not make sense to download it now if you are not a developer. Sourcecode of this betadrop is also included in the package, just install it. If you want to support this project you can subscribe to the EverBlue mailinglist at Egroups, we still need a lot of support because the project is not yet complete. I will set up a CVS server at Netlabs as soon as we decided how to organise the structure of the source. Informations about CVS will be posted to the EverBlue mailinglist. Everblue mailinglist: http://www.egroups.com/group/everblue-dev Get the file from: (self installing exe-file) ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/everblue/everblue.exe BTW: I just wrote the new database backend for OS/2 Netlabs this week, we hope to be online in about a month! There will be a lot of great changes and the content will finnaly be much more up to date.
