I'm pleased to announce the release of Remote Workplace Server.

RWS enables a program to invoke any class or object method or any SOM function in the WPS process without the use of SOM or DSOM. All types of arguments and return values are supported. Data that is accessible or meaningful only in the WPS process (e.g. a buffer or object pointer) can be copied or converted to make it available to the calling process.

On input, objects can be referenced by name, handle, container record, or hwnd. On output, object pointers can be converted to any of these, or to a title, path, icon, and more. RWS's object conversion features can be invoked independently of any method call using RwsConvert. Multiple objects can be converted from one type of external reference to another in a single call (e.g. from object handle to title, or from object ID to
icon).

RWS is an open-source project licensed under the generous terms of the Mozilla Public License. The developer's package, rws050.zip, contains ready-to-use server & client dlls, complete source code, extensive
documentation, and two demo programs. One of these, "Iconomize" is a unique ini-maintenance tool that can reduce the size of your os2.ini by 10-25%. You can obtain the package from:

http://e-vertise.com/rws/rws050.zip

Currently, it is also available from hobbes in the /pub/incoming directory. Once archived, it will be in /pub/os2/dev/wps

RWS is still in its initial stages of development. Suggestions for its improvement & contributions of code to that end will be greatly appreciated. In particular, I need assistance to develop a Classic REXX interface for some of RWS's higher-level features.
