It seems that my reports have turned more or less into "New Files of Scandinavia" reports - even tough OS/2 isn't mentioned in the media very often, there are still people out there developing software for OS/2. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!

Mads Orbesen Troest (motr96@sprog.auc.dk) of Denmark has released Leech/2 v1.10, a CD-ROM Digital Audio Grabber for OS/2, featuring de-jittering capabilities. Leech is currently a very versatile VIO program, but a "bells & whistles" PM edition is in the making. Leech/2 can be downloaded from Hobbes (ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu//pub/os2/apps/mmedia/sound/editors/leech110.zip).

Magnus Olsson (magnuso@ibm.net) of Sweden has released WarpCalc v1.81. This calculator package contains two scientific calculators, one for the command-line (CLI) and one for PM (GUI). Both versions share the same core capabilities. In addition to common calculator features they allow the user to define his/her own symbols. WarpCalc can be downloaded from http://www.bmtmicro.com/catalog/warpcalc/.

F/X Communications (authors of In-Joy) of Denmark has released Tunnel/2 v1.20. Tunnel/2 is a tool for building a secure Virtual Private Network (VPN). Tunnel/2 can be downloaded from http://www.fx.dk/tunnel.

JMA Software Technologies (mail@jmast.se) of Sweden has released WebNavigator v2.00 (WebNav). WebNav is a browser with quicklist, mail/news, on-line and off-line support. WebNav can be downloaded from http://www.jmast.se/.

Jan-Helge Bergesen (Jan.H.Bergesen@lhg.hib.no) of Norway has released eM Bee3: Junior! - a mouse button 3 enhancer that emulates double clicks in containers - it requires EMX. eM Bee3: Junior! can be downloaded from Hobbes (ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu//pub/os2/util/mouse/mb3jr12.zip).

Bjoern Andersson of Sweden has released a new version of Kon, a shareware PM text editor with hex-editing capabilities. Kon can be downloaded from http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Pines/1827/.

Tele Danmark Internet (the Danish Telecom's ISP company) has opened a Danish Tucows OS/2 mirror at http://os2.tucows.inet.tele.dk/.

I've been informed by Per Johansson of Sweden that there is also a Swedish newsgroup about OS/2 - it's called swnet.sys.os2.

My link page at http://www.nightcall.dk/os2links.htm has been updated with the "missing links" from above.
