AOL protocol and source code

2001-10-23 20:28:47 -- Igor Vanin [VOICENWS, Jason Stefanovich]

OSS AOLers have been working hard to figure out AOL's proprietary protocol for their online service and popular AIM messenger.

This document "The AOL Protocol" gives in depth information on the login and handshaking between the AOL client and servers: http://www.aol-files.com/misc/theaolprotocol.wri.

Also visual basic source code and more at: http://www.aol-files.com under 'AOL Protocol and Sign on and IM example'.

Finally a nearly full, but unofficial specification for the AIM protocol at "FAIM": http://www.zigamorph.net/faim/protocol/.

Great information for anyone who might think about implementing either of these very popular services under OS/2.

Watcom 11c prebeta

2001-09-21 02:50:37 -- Igor Vanin [os2.org, Leonardo Pino]

This patch for older installations may work as stand alone product.

URL: ftp://ftp.openwatcom.org/watcom/watcom-c-11.0c-b1.exe.

The file is a Win32 installer but works fine with ODIN. To use it one must set the enviromemt variables described on the readme file. This compiler to be usefull needs the OS/2 toolkit installed too, but this comes with eCS, ACP and MCP. It will be usefull for developers to work on device drivers, since many of them were written using this compiler. Thanks to the people at ScitechSoft.

GNAT 3.13 for OS/2

2001-09-18 20:03:45 -- Igor Vanin [VOICENWS, Christian Hennecke]

David Parsons has compiled GNAT 3.13 for OS/2. GNAT is the free GNU Ada 95 Translator and extends the gcc compiler so you can use it to compile programs written in Ada 95.

Ada 95 is an object oriented language with an easy-to-read syntax reminding of Pascal and Modula. It is known to be effective, easy to maintain and to provide good debugging facilities.

The package can be found at ftp://unixos2.org/incoming/gnat-3.13p-os2-bin-20010916.zip and will eventually be moved to ftp://unixos2.org/pub/os2/dev/emx+gcc/gnat/gnat-3.13p-os2-bin-20010916.zip.

IBM Java developing plans

2001-09-18 19:57:08 -- Igor Vanin [VOICENWS, Paulo Dias]

I found the following on the ibm java developer pages http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/other/portingplans.html:

"Our plans for IBM Java 1.3.1 encompass an expanded range of platforms (AIX, PowerPC 32-bit and 64-bit; zOS; AS/400; Windows 32-bit and 64-bit; Linux on 32-bit and 64-bit Intel architecture, and on 32-bit zSeries) with delivery currently scheduled for 4Q 2001. Our implementation of 1.3.1 will include our enhanced JIT compiler and garbage collection technology.

Note that, as a general rule, we will be moving away from our previous policy of making standalone Developer Kits available for individual download. Instead, our emphasis is going to be on making the latest level of Java technology available as an integrated aspect of IBM products such as WebSphere. In the case of Linux, of course, delivery will be with the various Linux distributions.

We plan to have an IBM Java 1.4 delivery on selected platforms within six months of the Sun General availability of Java 1.4. You can expect to see shipments on our chosen platforms starting within 2Q 2002."

Can anyone dig up and see if os/2 and ecs is included?
