There is a new release of ODIN on the Netlabs FTP server. ODIN is the Open Source project to provide a win32 API for OS/2 and eComStation. Originally to allow OS/2 users to run Windows 32 bit applications. Now used to port windows applications to OS/2 and eComStation. The Odin runtime is a requirement for the newest developed versions of JAVA and Flash 10 for OS/2 and eCS. I tried this with Firefox 9.01 and the Flash 10.0.22.87 (Technology Preview2 from the eCS Betazone) and for the first time ever I am able to play multiple Youtube videos without any hangs at all.
