XSane 0.81

Here is a new version of XSane for OS/2. XSane is a powerful graphic front-ends for SANE (scanner ACCESS Now Easy), which requires a functioning libsane.dll (e.g. from SANE-1.05) and an XServer (e.g. XFree86/OS2 or HOBX11).

Highlight:

- output formats: JPEG, tiff, Postscript, pnm, raw, png
- copy by mouse-click (by Ghostscript)
- png directly as email send away

XSane is BETA. I.e. it runs for me (SANE 1,06, EPSON GT-9500), but has NOT been tested elsewhere however. Feedback is desired!

Help stop Microsoft hegemnoy

From: cloweth@mac.com (cloweth)

Hi,

I posted the following on several forums last week as well as many Users Groups and the response has been well beyond my expectations.

People are really responding. Sentiments like "Congratulations on a well-presented campaign." and "I didn't think to send a message to the Attorney Generals of the remaining 9 states. Thanks for sending the email addresses for those folks. I just emailed 9 more letters thanks to you!" and "Thank you for the addresses. I have expressed my concerns to the Attorney General of the state in which I live and will urge others to do the same."

Please feel free to share this info among friends/colleagues if you wish.

Should Microsoft receive harsher penalties?

I am very disappointed with the Feds proposed settlement. Fortunately nine states' AG's agree with me. I have sent the following to the states' AG's dissatisfied with the terms of the USDOJ settlement agreement.

"It seems to me that Microsoft has indulged in not only anti-trust violations but racketeering as well. Is this a possible avenue of approaching their abuses?"

As you can see, my position well exceeds current prosecution parameters. Even if you don't agree with my extreme position, but desire more vigorous prosecution, I urge you to write to the Attorneys General to inform them of your support. You don't have to reside in these states to write them. Write to all of them if you wish. The Attorneys General exist to provide services to their constituency. I believe that for the most part they take this responsibility very seriously. They want to get the bad guys. It is my opinion that Microsoft, Gates, Ballmer, et al, are the bad guys.

Below are the email addresses of the nine states Attorneys General dedicated to continuing with more stringent anti-trust prosecution. Included is USDOJ address to express your displeasure to the Feds. For international readers I have included a link to a USDOJ website listing other countries who are undertaking anti-trust action.

Please include your name and address. This contributes to your authenticity. They may want to send you a snail mail confirmation. Please put it in your own words. And keep it brief. They understand the issues, so you don't need to re-hash them. It would probably be most effective if you stated that they press on with their lawsuit to impose maximum penalties.

A formulation was made years ago by various entities like newspapers, magazines, politicians, and such. They figured that for every person who bothered to write to them represented "X" amount of people who didn't take the time and effort to write but shared similar opinions. "X" can equal anywhere from one thousand to ten thousand or more depending the specific circumstances of the recipient. So, as you can see, the simple act of writing can have a multiplier effect. That's why your single contribution is so important.

If you agree that Microsoft has gotten off too lightly again, I plead with you to take a few minutes, write to the Attorneys General and make your opinions known. When we're all using Microsoft Windows at least you'll be able to console yourself by knowing that you at least tried to resist Microsoft hegemony.

This is the time to strike. They believe that they have hornswoggled a sweet deal. Their guard is down, if just a bit. This is far from over.

West Virginia: consumer@mail.wvnet.edu

US Dept of Justice-Microsoft anti-trust comments: Microsoft.atr@usdoj.gov

US Dept of Justice-other sites worldwide: http://www.usdoj.gov/atr/contact/otheratr.htm

This is a real opportunity for those of us who want more stringent prosecution. Before, Microsoft had only to have one team of lawyers to deal with the Feds. Now, their efforts will be diluted by virtue of having to confront nine different government entities. The time to express your opinion is now. Together we can have a positive impact on the future of computing if only we take the time to express our opinions to those who hold the public trust.

NEW NetOp Remote Control v7.0 Released

INTRODUCING THE NEW NETOP REMOTE CONTROL V7.0

NetOp was designed for users just like you who require heightened security, top rated speed and more platform options. NetOp Remote Control v7.0 is the latest version of the "fastest growing" remote control solution on the market. NetOp Remote Control v7.0 is designed specifically to meet the needs of professional users and incorporates new security features, a Domain Name Server, new lower corporate pricing, and Guest support for controlling PCs from your XP, CE, Linux and ActiveX PC -- as well as from older Windows, OS/2 and DOS machines.

Try the NEW NetOp Remote Control v7.0 today: http://www.crossteccorp.com/tryit/index.html

THE NEW AWARD-WINNING NETOP REMOTE CONTROL V7. NetOp has always provided far and away the fastest and most secure remote control solution, and now this new version raises the bar once again. Besides NetOp's cross- protocol and cross-platform support for all Windows, DOS and OS/2 platforms -- NetOp v7.0, which was selected as a "Best of Comdex 2001" finalist, now adds additional security options, increased speed and the ability to run the software from IE Browsers, a CE device and from Linux PCs.

NetOp's new encryption methods achieve what no other remote product has been able to provide -- advanced encryption while maintaining speed.

NetOp v7.0 also provides many other enhancements such as new ways to connect to your Host user, the ability to start multiple Host sessions simultaneously, options for starting, restarting or shutting down a Host PC, new Terminal Server and RAS support options and a unique NetOp Security Management module which provides you with centralized security and administration of your users.

NEW - CONTROL PCs FROM YOUR BROWSER Imagine being able to run a sales demo sitting at your client's computer, being able to download a missing file right from the print shop or supporting an office PC from a trade show floor - all without your laptop. NetOp takes browser based remote control to the next level with an easy to use ActiveX based Guest which provides speed and advanced security. So now if you are away from your office and need to access a Host PC you can simply launch the tiny NetOp Remote Control guest from any IE 4.0 or higher browser. In case the PC you need to control has a dynamic IP address, NetOp's DNS Server can automatically translate the dot-digital IP address to the PC name. And if you are worried about security the ActiveX guest supports all Host security settings, NetOp's new Security Server and advanced encryption as well as the NetOp Gateway which provides you with a secure inbound/outbound software router for multiple NetOp sessions.

HERE IS WHAT IS NEW IN NETOP REMOTE CONTROL V7.0:

- New NetOp Security Server lets you control and administer NetOp security in a centralized and fault- tolerant way.

- New NetOp Domain Name Server provides a seamless way to help locate another NetOp user when you don't know their IP address. The New name server also lets remote users send a NetOp SOS 'Request Help' message to NetOp Guest Help Providers from anywhere.

- New Encryption options provide increased security levels of communication between NetOp modules. Secrecy insured with AES encryption key lengths up to 256 bits, Diffle-Hellman key exchange up to 2048 bits SRP Authentication.

- Control your “Hostö systems from just about any Windows PC on the Internet using exciting new ActiveX NetOp Guest.

- New Windows CE Guest lets users securely access their desktop's email ‘Inbox’ and applications or support remote PCs using CE-based handheld computers.

- New Linux Guest enables Intel-based Linux users to control multiple Windows or OS/2 users over TCP/IP.

- NetOp Windows Guests can start sessions with multiple hosts simultaneously.

- Guest can Logoff, Shutdown, Restart or ‘Wake On LAN’ (WOL) a Host user.

- Support for MS Active Directory Authentication provides tighter support for Windows Security.

- Host module can now be loaded within a Terminal Server session.

- Microsoft Installer (MSI) Support now works in addition to InstallShield for broadcasting remote Host installations.

- PC can now be BOTH a NetOp Remote Control Host and NetOp School Student and also you can be a NetOp Remote Control Guest and Host for 'cascading'remote control sessions. *Requires proper licences

- New Lower Corporate pricing means NetOp is even more affordable which means an even faster return on your investment.
