If you can type at well over 100 words per minute then it’s probably not worth
the effort.  

If, like me, you can manage less than a quarter of this speed and need to
produce a lot of documentation/correspondence it is an excellent investment.  

I achieve an accuracy of around 99%. To achieve this kind of accuracy however
it is necessary to learn the technique for using it. I have been using various
versions of it for over two years now during which time the performance has
steadily improved – the Warp 4 version is very good indeed.  

I have just read what I have dictated and, as I would expect, there are no
mistakes.

voicetype – is it any good?

I can’y run voicetype on my pc and  I was wondering if it is worth the
upgrade costs – has anyone used it and how accurate is it?

Please either post or email directly to e…@snow.demon.co.uk

DEMO: CallerID 0.00 for OS/2 (desktop utility)

Reply-to:     bas…@gte.net
———————————————————————
CID 0.00 OS/2 PM     Copyright (C) 1997, Craig Morrison          Caller ID Box
                             All Rights Reserved.

What is CID?

CID…Pronounced "syd".

CID is a simple Caller ID box for OS/2 Warp’s Desktop. It is designed to work
with Caller ID subscribers who have CallerID Name & Number turned on. Although
it is easy to use, you’ll never lose another number again. The number of
callers stored is only limited by the amount of virtual memory you have. :-)

If you can operate a standard phone company caller ID box, you can operate
CID. CID is an almost exact replacement for the box, the best part about it
is….CID sits right on your desktop, a mouse click away.

This is a pre-release version of CallerID for OS/2. Using HTTP protocol you
can download CID via:

WEB: yet another Hobbes search engine update

Reply-to:     archi…@hobbes.nmsu.edu
———————————————————————
Well, I’ve gone and done it again and improved the hobbes.nmsu.edu search
engine even more.  Most of the changes are internal for the sake of future
expansion (such as adding in facilities to easily integrate the file browser
and the search engine), and the only two changes users should notice at the
moment are:

1. the file listing now shows the date that a file was catalogued
2. queries used to take 10 seconds to execute.  now they take only 1. :)  (so
now the response time from the server is much improved)

On a related note, I will soon be attempting to migrate the archive over to a
newer, more efficient directory structure.  I will have a file in / called
"proposed.dir" shortly which will detail both the new proposed directory
structure and the actual migration process currently being considered.  I
invite everyone to look at, and comment on, this file, especially with respect
to obvious (preferably major) omissions from the new structure.  The new
structure will be much more efficient, logical, and expandab le than the
current structure, and will hopefully make things more enjoyable for all
parties concerned, as well as much more efficient.

BETA: RXDbase 0.84

Reply-to:     maxm…@pianeta.it (Massimiliano Marsiglietti)
———————————————————————
BETA: RXDbase 0.84

RATIONALE:
Some years ago I have developed some database functions for REXX. In 1996 I
did start looking into NetRexx and Java programming as a part of my job; one
of the first things done in the process of mastering those languages was the
porting of my database.

Now I have pretty much completed what I had in mind for a simply-to-use, yet
not dumb database.

THE PRODUCT:
MaxBase is a database front end written in NetRexx (a language that gets
translated into Java code) that exploits RXDbase, my db library (which is also
written in NetRexx). Anyone can use it, provided that they have a decent 1.0.2
Java runtime installed on their computer; in fact it can be used as a normal
OS/2 stand-alone application by executing the runme.cmd command that comes
with the package, and it even has an icon. Speed isn’t bad either.

Being the thing written in Java it runs also on other OSes, so you can use it
to ship platform-neutral catalogues to your clients and the likes.

But there is more: MaxBase relies on RXDbase, also found in the package and
that comes with a exhaustive manual (an ASCII file); any Java or NetRexx
programmer can use it in their Java/NetRexx app.

The database front end, MaxBase, comes with sources so you can expand its
capabilities without having to re-invent the wheel every time.

For semi-experienced users, MaxBase gives the ability to expand the core
functions by means of plugins: by writing a very few lines of code you can add
features to the database frontend without touching the main MaxBase program;
as an example, the provided plugin which shows on screen images and text
taking their file names from the database is only some 3k in size (source file
with many comments). By writing a plugin you create a program that can be
shared with other MaxBase users.

[My fiancee uses it to store her recipes and I made for her a plugin that
shows the recipe, gives advice and keeps track of timings. :-) ]

Finally, all menus for MaxBase are customizable by means of a simple ASCII
file (I have included both English and Italian language support in the
package) and you can also remove features which have to remain hidden (say to
prevent someone deleting the db) to the end user without having to modify the
MaxBase sources.

PRICE:
The app is still in beta (but I call it this way only because I am open on
adding features – the app ‘per se’ is finished and working pretty well), and I
am open to suggestions on price issues by end users.

Right now I am inclined to let the program be a freeware for the *non
commercial user* as long as this strategy turns out to be good both for me and
the users. Having many people using it, writing plugins, reporting bugs etc is
a big plus for me; for example a MaxBase user (Giuseppe Aprile) made a plugin
to convert DB III files to RXDbase and vice versa; this function has been
included in the package.

I also plan to make commercial users pay for this program. I am interested in
hearing your comments and proposals for price. Of course if even a home user
wants to donate money I won’t refuse. O:-)

I am presenting this beta to OS/2 users first because I know that here the
average user is more experienced, and I develop it directly on OS/2 so the
support should be less of an issue. I don’t have that much time on my hands
(else I’ll be finishing Psyberball :-) ).

In the future I will announce and present the package also to other
communities (eg Win32, Mac, Solaris, etc). Anyway if someone wants to test
this app also on other platforms you’re welcome.

As I said I am open to suggestions, so please if anyone is interested in such
an application please download it and, most important, report your feedback.
(see below for info)

REQUIREMENTS:
A working 1.0.2 Java runtime. I will add 1.1 support as soon as IBM release it
for OS/2.

I strongly suggest you to get the latest 1.0.2 release from
ftp://ftp.hursley.ibm.com/pub/java/fixes/os2/102/runtime.exe

(Currently there is the 13 March release)

HOW TO GET IT:

>From time to time I upload the package to HOBBES (hobbes.nmsu.edu), the

latest is rdb084R2.zip; anyway the best source where to grab it is my home
page:

http://www.GeoCities.com/SiliconValley/Park/4218

Follow the link for RXDbase, and download rdbbeta.zip (it is equivalent to the
HOBBES one).

Have a nice day!

Self-Extracting Archiver for OS/2 needed

Try RAR (shareware). It’s just what you are looking for

I don’t have an address, but you might try one of the search engines.

Unimaint Problems

Does anyone have Unimaint 5?  I have used Unimaint since verson 4, and
use to like it, but I am having lots of problems with 5!

I had 5.00.6, and yesterday I discovered that the DLL/EXE
Cross-Reference utility kept crashing, so I got the latest CSD,
5.00.29.  Evidently, it has problems, or I couldn’t get it installed
properly, because other utilities crashed on me when I tried to use it.
I finally ended up removing it.

I have found some good freeware utilities to do some of what Unimaint
does, such as de-registering and editing ini files, but they don’t clean
out the old file handles.  I have the WPTools suite also, but I’m a
little hesitant to use all of it.  Has anyone tried the REPLINI thing?
Does it clean up the ini files or not?  Is it risky?

What about the shareware IniMaint?  Is it good?

I still have Unimaint 4.  Should I go back to that?

Thanks for your help!
