## From The Editor I finally completed my advance look at eComStation 1.1. Just in time as it turns out, since eCS 1.1 went to manufacturing just a few days ago. The project I've been working so long and hard at is ending in a few days. The stress is over. It's nice to be me again. My wife is happy to have me back. Don't work too hard folks, life's too short. Enjoy the issue, see you next month. ## Laugh out Loud Funny You might have heard about RFC 3514 well check out the responses the author of the RFC got, particularly the origin of the very last one. Made me laugh out loud. ## Interesting Utility I ran across mention of this utility reading newsgroups this month. Since my Thinkpad has never been able to hibernate to disk, I was pretty interested to read about this. You can download the Thinkpad Hibernation Utility to create a hibernation file on your first FAT16 drive, or create a standalone hibernation partition. Although the readme says it only works to create a hibernation file on a FAT16 drive, users have reported success both with the hibernation partition choice, and with creating the hibernation file on an FAT32 drive. If I work up the nerve to attack my perfectly functional laptop with Partition Magic, I'll let you know how I did with this little tool. ## This Month For reviews this month, I take a look at eComStation 1.1, Deane Yamane takes a look at Memsize and John Bijnens at KVEC. Isaac Leung talks about making PDF files and offers a list of useful OS/2 tricks. Bas Heijermans looks at time client/servers and Tim Swank offers up a couple more cool desktop images. Our new writer this month, David Del Col, looks at application servers on OS/2. I was surprised to learn that PHP-Nuke works on OS/2, as David has been running it. ## Looking for More OS/2 eZine Content? How about writing it? The OS/2 eZine has to be a community effort, the more writers we have to spread the work around, the better the issues will be and the easier it is for everyone. If you're working on a cool OS/2 project that you think the readership of the OS/2 eZine would find interesting, we're looking for one-off articles as well as short series and monthly columns to fill the pages of the OS/2 eZine. Trying some cool new software? How about writing a short review? It doesn't take much time and you can win some great prizes! ## Have a Product or Service you think our readers would be interested In? If you have a product you think the readership of the OS/2 eZine might find interesting, take a look at our Advertising page. We've got an offer we think you'll find hard to refuse.
