Hi

Something got broken on the bridge that connects the main site (joomla) with the wiki (MediaWiki). I will need to make it manual for newer users.  It is hard to fix this since the JFusion script project were abandon and now the newer versions of SMFoum and MediaWiki broked.

John, I will write you to your registered email and set a password for the OS2world wiki.

Have people completely abandoned ODIN development or is there still someone maintaining the project? WINE has gone a long way as well as ReactOS during last years. I am wondering if it would be possible to make ODIN also more up to date with current software.

But the problem must usually be too few developers for OS/2 in general. For example, the only FileZilla built I was able to find is at alpha stage and very unusable. And the OS/2 version of Gimp is a very ancient version with very limited functionality.

I think WINE has not gone. At least CodeWeavers launched CrossOver v.19 this year https://www.codeweavers.com/about/support-wine

FYI: I update the news from time to time on Zophar's Domain (Emulation site) and Wine 5.16 (dev release) for Linux was released on August 28, 2020. So Wine is still getting updates.

Hello

Bringing back this really of thread, just to let you know...

- Visualization Software Spectrogram 16 (2008-05-18) was included on the wiki and in hobbes. Audio Spectrum Analysis utility.
- IrfanView 4.6.7 (2024-04-05) also includes in the wiki and hobbes. Photo viewer.

I tried PhotoFiltre 7.2.1 but it crashed on me when I try to open a picture. (https://www.photofiltre-studio.com/utils/pf7-en-7.2.1.zip)

Hello

Does somebody that knows to play Rummy (The card game) check if this Win32 software is working for us?

While at first it seems to work, starting a game,it offers a tutorial which is empty, then the cards are dealt and vanish. It's been a long time since I've played rummy but pretty sure you can look at your hand.

Searching the wayback machine later I found that they migrated to Java and changed the name of the game to RRRumy (I guess to avoid trademark problems). I tested the Java app and work for us. The tiles shows up and seems more playable.
I uploaded it to hobbes for people that like to play it: https://hobbesarchive.com/Home/Download?path=/Hobbes/pub/java/games/board/RRRumy_7-3-4.zip

It is like the board game Rummikub, and I had played it. So I guess Rummy was the original cards game and Rummikub is the ones with tiles.

Thanks.
