But damn... Thom, you're too quick to link to this news. I wanted to submit it

EDIT: I don't what's best with this release. CUPS, better POSIX compatibility, or the Event class. Oooooooh, my day just got much much better Edited 2006-05-21 19:04 Sun, 21 May 2006 18:59:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (dylansmrjones) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread?126722 http://www.osnews.com/thread?126722 For those that have no extra partition or pc lying around to test, a VMware image of Syllabe 0.6.1 can be found here: http://www.cilinder.be/syllable Sun, 21 May 2006 21:23:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (tunkaflux) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread?126723 http://www.osnews.com/thread?126723 Congratulations Syllable Developers and Users. I'm glad as always to see another smaller OS succeeding and improving.

But at least there is this one, which is quite new:

Will it be like ARexx under AmigaOS?

Orca is intended to be the primary scripting language for Syllable.

You should visit http://syllable.org/forum.php and search for Orca Mon, 22 May 2006 02:50:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (dylansmrjones) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread?126819 http://www.osnews.com/thread?126819 Syllable OS that's who

the OS that thought it could... and it did.

When they get around to updating the site, I'm buying it.

I was wondering, anyone have any clue about Syllable's media framework? Does it use a directshow style framework, what codecs are available for the platform. Does Syllable have any alternatives to VirtualDubMod and AviSynth? Their website talks about their target audience
needing "multimedia playback and encoding" so I am guessing at one point the devs will want to add some multimedia encoding applications....

This is 2006, not 1986 Mon, 22 May 2006 09:54:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Dreadstar) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread?126874 http://www.osnews.com/thread?126874 I probably told you the same thing back then: this is an Alpha version that is not feature complete, so things like dial-up arn't implemented yet. For those with non-dialup internet connections "surfing" works fine. If you want to be constructive, help get dial up working; Arno has ported pppd and it works with PPPoE (DSL) connections. That's the hard part done. It just needs a little more work to get it working on dial-up.

If you're not going to do that, then you have to accept the fact that it isn't done yet and be patient. I know it's far easier to troll OSNews instead of helping, but you sometimes have to accept that life is a little larger than your own world.

Yep, and in 2006 dial-up isnt as important as it was in 1986. Mon, 22 May 2006 14:19:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Soulbender) Comments
