EDM/2 Republished Articles

Since we are changing to a Wiki format, republishing permission allowing derivative work for the articles has to be requested. There had been good response from part of the Authors that I was able to contact. Several authors (all that I was able to contact) accepted that his articles were republished under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 license to me migrated to wiki site.

The old EDM/2 articles that were re-published are:

• Real Glass by Tels (December 1997)
• A Fast and Efficient Solution to the Backpack Problem by Tels (January 1998)
• 12 Common C Errors by Jeppe Cramon (April 1997)
• Inside INF by Peter Childs (September 1995)
• Introduction to Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) by Chris Matthews (January 1998)
• Using TCL and cgi.tcl to Create and Maintain your Web Page by Eddy Kim (November 1998)
• Using Semaphores in C++ by Eddy Kim (August 1996)

Extra updates

Also lately updated:

• There was a little makeover on the The OS/2 API Project. There was an re-organization on this page, but we still lack a lot of content.

I want to thank all the authors that allowed their articles and documentation to be published on the EDM/2 wiki.
