New kernels at IBM Testcase

2001-09-14 16:25:04 -- Deniska [#os2russian]

At IBM Testcase (ftp://testcase.boulder.ibm.com/ps/fromibm/os2/) there are kernels as of 14.09.2001. This is not very unusual, except for one thing.
These kernels have new function, which is controlled by CONFIG.SYS CLOCKSCALE variable. Using this function you can increase frequency on context switching in kernel. This should speed up several programs (according to readme). You also have to install enclosed CLOCK01.SYS to use this function.

Reminder from VOICE Newslist

2001-09-11 20:49:08 -- Igor Vanin [VOICENWS]

Just a friendly reminder to anyone submitting news for broadcast on the VOICE Newslist.

Please send all News List posts to submit@os2voice.org. Currently the list is still only being moderated by one person, but that will change in the future. If you send a post to another address, it may not get posted.

Also when submitting posts, please try to include a short (one paragraph should suffice) description of what the event or product is. Sometimes people forget that not everyone is up on the latest hot applications. Or people may not have been interested when a previous post came through. You may think everyone knows what the product is, but some folks would have no idea what XYZ is if all you give is a version number and a file download URL.

To everyone subscribed to the list, thank you for persevering with our limited functionality. We still plan to add a web archive of the list as well as the ability to get the list in a digest version. We will implement these features when time and talent permit. If anyone feels they can help out with these or other tasks involved in helping VOICE meet it's goal of educating and supporting the OS/2 community, please don't hesitate to write me at editor@os2voice.org.
