What is Norman Virus Control
Norman Virus Control is a complete virus control solution for both OS/2, Netware and Windows platforms. Our focus has been ease of use combined with state of the art protection, flexibillity, and a minimum of intervention with your normal workflow.
NVC v5.25 for OS/2 and eCS is fully integrated into the WorkplaceShell. Just right-click on any drive, folder or file to scan that item for viruses. We beleive Virus Control should be simple and non-obtrusive. The on-access scanner monitors your file systems in real time, and will immediately notify you if it finds any malicious code. Internet update makes it easy to update the product as soon as new virus signatures or program enhancements are made available.
More information is found at our web site.
NOTE: If you have previously installed NVC v5.20 Beta 3, we reccomend running an internet update rather than installing on top of the beta install. The code at our update server is already at release level.
One of the issues being addressed is the 2002 event site. We are currently considering Austin, Texas and want to know what you think. No registration is required to make your feelings known so please help us in determining the future of Warpstock.
Also we invite everyone interested in the future of Warpstock to join us in open and hopefully productive discourse on the Warpstock Public Discussion list - http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/warpstock-public. In addition, all the session presentation files from Warpstock 2001 have been placed in the file download section here for member download.
Warpstock, Inc., is a North Carolina non-profit corporation. The Warpstock annual conference is a gathering of OS/2 users, developers, and vendors from around the world for the purpose of education and advocacy. More information is available at the Warpstock website, http://www.warpstock.org/ or its mirror site: http://warpstock.os2voice.org/.
PILLARSOFT SUITE OVERVIEW
The PillarSoft Suite is a great collection of software and utilities specifically for the OS/2 family of operating systems. The suite will make you more productive immediately with a great archiver, two editors, a secure deletion program, paint program, an easy to use desktop backup program and much more.
There are 13 products available as part of the PillarSoft Suite.
Data Shield - Secure data deletion
DeskTop Backup - Point and click DeskTop Backups
Enhanced E Editors - A pair of productivity editors
Huey - Color selection utility
Killer - "Mini" process killer
PCT - Code Template Tool (extensible)
PSC - Status Center (a plethora of information)
Pocket Password Protector - Keep password listings (encrypted)
SFX Installer - Build custom installations
ShowTime/2 - Background changer and slideshow viewer
VP - Small but cute Video Player
WarPaint - A "pixel paint" program for OS/2
WarpZip - Great archiving tool for OS/2
Some of these applications were not originally part of the suite and are not available separately. They have been bundled to bring added value to the Suite and are available to the previous purchasers of the suite at no additional cost.
Realizing that not everyone will want or need every application in the suite, it is priced it in such a way that if even half of the programs are desirable, the suite should be worth it's price. Separately the programs would weigh in at approximately 260 USD. We hope you will give it a try and decide if the programs fit your needs.
BONUS APPLICATION
If you have children and are a registered user of the Suite, try the KidStreet download at the PillarSoft website also. KidStreet is not part of the PillarSoft Suite but it does recognize registered users of the Suite and is available for use.

Other than the obvious, both apps have some interesting code within them. Written in ANSI C on Borland C for OS/2 then ported using Watcom. For you Linux people, it should port quite easily.
Um, no we will not release them into open source. Don't even bother to e-mail us about it. If no one buys them, then they will fade away.
Besides that it features widely used terminal emulations like vt102, vt220 and several types of ansi and not so widley used ones like TN3270, Wyse, TVI and Sun's CDE. ZOC also features major file transfer protocols like X-, Y- and Zmodem as well as Kermit and others. All these are offered in solid implementations that leave nothing to be desired.
ZOC is highly configurable and offers the usual terminal features like keyboard redefinition and scroll back buffer as well as some advanced and unique features among which are like a powerful script language, automatic triggering of actions based on received or typed text or a line trace feature.
ZOC is available in both English and German as a free 30 day trial for Windows and OS/2.
