  1. Re:WE need a single IM system (WIM?) on Microsoft Surrenders IM War, Claims Security Risk · · Score: 1

    Check out the WebGuys Instant Message System. It is ready for real world use today and has a Tcl/Tk client that will run in Windows, Linux and MacOS. Several more clients are on the way soon, and we are closely following the progress of the IMPP.

  2. Developing. on The Be Challenge: Zero-cost BeOS for OEMs · · Score: 1

    How do you mean? R4 of BeOS comes with all the compiler tools, including the IDE and gcc. So you can use that, or vi and gmake, etc.

  3. BeOS Filesystem on The Be Challenge: Zero-cost BeOS for OEMs · · Score: 1

    BeOS uses its own file system, called bfs. It's a 64-bit journaled fs, with a cool attribute and resource structure. As far as I know, it can't be read outside of BeOS, but that is probably not far out. According to Be's BeWare section this filesystem driver is available for ext2 read-only. The driver also has a homepage. There are several other filesystem drivers available in the BeWare section. The facility for creating plug-ins and add-ons both for an application and the operating system is *very* cool. Read up on the Be Book for more.
