IsoFS 0.21 is released

2001-10-11 17:01:28 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [www.os2world.com, Klaus Staedtler]

ISOFS is an installable file system for OS/2 to access ISO rawfiles suitable for burning on CD. ISOFS allows transparent readonly access to the contents of the raw file. Currently only Joliet filenames are supported but this may change in the future. New:

• Added support for file and directory times which was still missing.
• Found the solution for the missing notebook pages. You have to tell OS/2 that there's support for EAs even if that's not true.

StarOffice 6.0 and Odin

2001-10-10 19:07:34 -- Igor Vanin [VOICENWS, Efrem Stringer]

Sun Microsystems has released a beta version of the upcoming StarOffice 6.0.

URL: http://www.sun.com/software/star/staroffice/6.0beta/get.html.

There is not an OS/2 version but I was able to install it using Odin under Warp 4.5 MCP. There seems to be much improvement over 5.2 specifically for me is the elimination of the integrated desktop and also it has support for XML file formats. FYI the beta expires March 2002.
