DOWNLOAD!
by Gary Wong
SOMEWHERE IN CYBERSPACE ---
Beginning this month, I'm reviving the Download! column that
was previously written by Paul Wirtz. I may not actually download and
try all the files, but I will give you the name of the driver or
application, what it does, and where to get it.
Most of my sources will be either from
WarpCast or Steve Wendt's
OS/2 Warp News and Rumors page. Well, here goes...
SciTech Display Doctor is now at beta 19 (02/14/2000). To download,
go to ftp://ftp.scitechsoft.com/sdd/beta/os2. Their web page is at
http://www.scitechsoft.com/sdd_os2.html.
The Digital Camera Image Transfer Utility (DCITU) is now on beta version
1.8h_r2 (03/02/2000). It supports Kodak, Agfa, Epson, Olympus, Sanyo,
Sierra, Nikon, Minolta, and Toshiba cameras. Information is at
http://charette.dyn.tj/dcitu/; the latest release is on Hobbes - go to
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu and search for dcitu.
CDR/RW Wizard is at version 0.99 beta 6; it's a GUI interface to
CDRecord/2. Also released is RadioTrackFR version 1.0 beta 2; this is
an AIMS Radio Track program. Both are at
