If you are developing a mission critical application, you may indicate which OS is the target. So far, Linux has 65%, NT just over 10% and OS/2 just under 10% with 275 respondents. This is not an advocacy poll.

Wright (wrightc@dtcweb.com) ********************************************************************** Greetings everyone... :) I have just finished ThermoProtect V1.29, and the new features of this version is as follows. :) *Now ThermoProtect allows you to add temperature modifier to any or all of the thermal probes. Some user requested this because BIOS in motherboards like Asus P5A add a few degrees to the actual reading to "compensate" for the distance between the thermal probe and CPU. Only zero or positive values are accepted, negtive value are automatically changed to zero instead. Negtive value are rejected because it have the potenical of becoming a tool for people to play jokes on another for them to think the temperature of the CPU is remarkably low, while the CPU is actually overheating. So negtive value are substitued by zero automatically. *Now EnvSetup.EXE allows temperature of in both Celsius and Fahrenheit, the Fahrenheit input are automatically converted to Celsius due to the fact that Celsius standard is what Winbond/National Semiconductor designed their chip to output. Not to mention this author is incapable of thinking in terms of Fahrenheit. :) The file is available NOW at: http://www.pcenduser.com/ThermoProtect And please visit: http://www.innovalue.com For cooling, motherboard, system recovery card and MORE... :) No need to buy anything, just come and have a look is all we ask. :) -- ==Team OS/2, Team OS/2 at Taiwan.

Wright (wrightc@dtcweb.com) ********************************************************************** Every Monday, I'll be reporting on OS/2-related items for sale on http://www.ebay.com and the comp.os.os2.marketplace newsgroup. Even if you're not thinking about buying anything OS/2 related, you might find something that catches your interest. I apologize for not posting the eBay report over the past couple weeks. These lapses are bound to happen occasionally. On eBay, there are several copies of OS/2 2.x, Warp 3, Warp 4, and Lotus applications available for sale. There are also a large number of OS/2 books available. Someone also appears to be selling 6 copies of the Warp 3 bonus pack - I can't tell if that includes OS/2 Warp 3 or not. Other than that, we have this week: DriveImage 2.0, SPF/PC 4.0, Stacker 1.1, a DCE client, IBM Internet Connection Server, OS/2 extended services + database server, Photo>Graphics (I pity the person who bid $65 for it when you can download the Pro version for free), IBM NetFinity Manager 5.0 (another item you can download for free), PFS:Works for OS/2, EXTRA! Mainframe for OS/2, Lotus Notes 3.3, and DB2/2 server 2.1. For the collector, we have: A Fiesta Bowl Polo Shirt, an OS/2 sweater, a mousepad, a lapel/hat pin, and a coffee mug. I wasn't kidding when I said there are a lot of OS/2 books available, half of which are for programmers. There's some great stuff out there, people!!! Kogan's "the design of OS/2" is the #1 pick, but there are dozens of others, including some I've never heard of, like Objects for OS/2, Converting Applications to OS/2, OS/2 and NetWare Programming, as well as some rare Microsoft OS/2 programming books. I'm definitely going to be comparing this week's list with my current library. Besides the books, for programmers we have: Two versions of IBM C Set++ and Borland C++. Like I said, there is a lot of OS/2 stuff for sale this week, twice as many items as normal. Of course, a lot of it is old junk from the 1.x and 2.x days, but there are some real gems. Check it out! On comp.os.os2.marketplace, we have: various versions of OS/2 and one person who is selling a bunch of OS/2 books, a collection of OS/2 software (SmartSuite, Colorworks, DeScribe, etc), BYTE's OS2 Programmers Cookbook, and another person is selling a bunch of programming sutff (VisPro C++, OS/2 DevCons, some books, and DeScribe). Those of you looking to sell your OS/2 related stuff, I strongly recommend you put it on eBay and post an announcement on comp.os.os2.marketplace. If you include the word "OS/2" in the title of your description, I'll see it and include it in the next report. If you're looking for OS/2 items on eBay, search on the phrase ("OS/2",OS2), including the parentheses. -- Timur Tabi Workstation BIOS Engineer, Dell Computer ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --- * Origin: Druids Grove <-> Internet Gateway (1:2624/801) 120 203/88 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: feedback@os2ezine.com 13-Sep-99 08:08:25 To: All 21-Sep-99 07:57:16 Subj: [WarpCast] Other SCOUG activities in September Subject: [WarpCast] Other SCOUG activities in September From: "WarpCast News Service" Reply-To: "WarpCast News Service" Warpstock 99 - Atlanta, October 16-17, 1999 Two fun filled days of OS/2 and YOU!

Monday, September 20, 7 PM PDT meetings at Heritage Christian High School in Anaheim: SCOUG holds a Help Desk chat every Monday of the month except one --- and that's when the in-person Help Desk happens. Bring your computers and questions to Heritage Christian High School on Sept. 20th for hands-on help with your system. (More on the Help Desk chat later) This month's Networking SIG will be a Help Desk-type session as a follow-up to Warp Expo West. If you have any network-related issues that need resolving, this is the meeting for you. Bring your computer(s) and/or specifics on your problems and needs and we will get you up and working before the night is out. If you live in the Southern California area and can help out, by all means come; we anticipate a larger than normal turnout since this month's in-person Help Desk and Networking SIG is 2 days after Warp Expo West. Thursday, September 23, 7 PM PDT meeting at Heritage Christian High School: Join the Sundial SIG at Heritage Christian HS for a look this month at the Clearlook word processor. For more information about the Sundial SIG, contact SIG leader Sheridan George at sheridan@scoug.com. IRC Chats: SCOUG hosts the Help Desk chat every Monday (except when we have the in-person Help Desk) at 7 PM (Pacific Time), the Internet SIG via IRC Wednesdays at 7 PM (Pacific Time), and the Warp Systems Chat Saturdays at 8 AM (Pacific Time). Go to http://www.scoug.com/chat for further details on how to get chatty. How to get to Heritage Christian High School: The Heritage Christian High School in Anaheim is at 2530 W. La Palma Ave. It is on the south side of La Palma Ave. (about 200 ft. E of Magnolia) on the Grace Baptist Church property. There is a 2-story office building close to La Palma Ave. with the address of 2528 up near the roof. Turn in (south) there. Drive all the way to the back and park along the chain-link fence. NOTE: There is a lot of freeway construction north of the school on I-5 and the 91 freeways; some on/off ramps may be closed and/or have detours. Check the SCOUG web site (http://www.scoug.com) for updates and leave yourself plenty of time to reach the high school. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --- * Origin: Druids Grove <-> Internet Gateway (1:2624/801) 120 203/88 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: feedback@os2ezine.com 13-Sep-99 09:00:26 To: All 21-Sep-99 07:57:16 Subj: [WarpCast] The Widget Box [formerly OS/2oons] has moved.

You'll be able to watch the video on your Netscape browser. The continuous broadcasts will begin when Warp Expo West opens it doors on Saturday. At this time we aren't exactly sure how many channels of video we will deliver. The system itself can supply four different channels and we hope to have all four up and running. There are multiple T1 lines in place to deliver these four video channels to the Internet backbone. There are some technical issues that still need to be worked out. The audio feed is one we're still working on, and fine tuning the HTML code for your Netscape browser is another. Still, the video system worked fine in tests on both Saturday and Sunday and we're confident we can deliver live video to you on "show day" this coming Saturday. There will be a special link on the Warp Expo West web pages and you won't need anything but your Netscape browser. This is not a "webcam". This is full-motion video, just like you see on your television. Even with the multiple T1 lines there are some bandwidth issues and we may have to reduce the image size, increase the compression level or restrict the number of simultaneous users depending on how many people choose to "tune in". A lot depends on the average bandwidth of viewers like yourself, since cable modems and DSL lines will load our video system more than 56K modems. Consider this a part of OS/2 history, as we take a "first shot" at sending full-motion video to your computer screen. The idea for the live video feed belongs to Tim Katz of Demand Systems. (Demand Systems is an OS/2 preinstaller and an exhibitor at Warp Expo West.) Tim Katz did the engineering design work, lined up the equipment and first tested the fully completed system on the Demand Systems network last Saturday. He and Steve Schiffman, the Network and Facilities Director for Warp Expo West, then tested the system at the show site on Sunday. There was plenty of preparation for the final test. "I had to ensure that our supplier network was capable of supplying the bandwidth required," said Schiffman, "and that meant checking on each segment of the uplink. We'll have cameras in the lecture rooms and in the exhibitor area, and we'll supply a combination of live video feeds and repeat broadcasts of the most popular lectures." Tim Katz had to work out some last-minute connections and spent part of the testing time working on the HTML. "Netscape supports live video, but Internet Explorer requires a special add-on which we won't support," said Katz. "The Netscape HTML is coded in a certain way and it took a bit of experimentation to get it right." And Tim McCoy, owner of Demand Systems and present during the tests, was very pleased. "We like to come up with a solution no matter what the problem, and live video on the Internet is in everyone's future for seminars, trade shows, even family events such as weddings and any gathering of people. It's cost effective." Rollin White, Chairman of Warp Expo West, said that "watching live video over the Internet is a great demonstration of why OS/2 is a leading technology platform." And Terry Warren, President of The Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG), the show's sponsoring organization, said "This is the technology of the future and we're pleased that SCOUG can bring this new benefit to OS/2 users via Warp Expo West." - - - Warp Expo West is free, free, free. The show will be held on September 18 near Disneyland in sunny Southern California.

The Warpstock Board of Directors and the Warpstock '99 Atlanta Committee, http://www.warpstock.org, are pleased to announce that the special ticket price of $75 has been extended until October 15, the day before Warpstock. Previously, this special rate was available only until August 15. Now, anyone who registers in advance for Warpstock can save $20. The full ticket price for those registering at the door remains at $95, which is still a great value! The extended discount is possible because of generous sponsorship from both IBM and VOICE. All of the Warpstock staff and volunteers thank both of these organizations for their incredible support. Warpstock '99 is the premier OS/2 event of the year. It will be held in Atlanta, GA, on October 16 and 17. Anyone and everyone who is interested in IBM's award-winning operating system should attend. This event is not just for the individual or small-office user - IBM and other vendors will be demonstrating their products for large corporate accounts, and there will be presentations geared towards all types of OS/2 users.

(tbrad@bmtmicro.com) Moderator: Thomas Bradford (admin@os2ss.com) ********************************************************************** Hi All, For those of you trying to contact BMT Micro tomorrow (Sept 16) please take note of the following: ------------------------ Just a quick note to let you all know that ye olde hurricane Floyd is bearing down on us and we might lose our internet and telephone connection during the storm. Also note that our phone system requires electricity so if the phone rings without an answer it's not because we decided not to answer the phones. ;-) If we do lose our phone system we can drop back to the old 6 line analogs handsets and busy out the last 2 lines to take care of business. In other, "hey, great timing" news..... One of the things we've done in September is make substantial investments in hardware upgrades which included RAID configurations in all the servers. If you noticed the Supersite and the secure server (secure.bmtmicro.com) going up and down for periods of 20-30 minutes twice this afternoon (9/15/99) that was us swapping out drives so we could store a mirror of each server off site just in case. We've also have 2 heavy duty generators to power the servers and office machines, so barring physical damage to the structure itself we do not anticipate being down long if at all. Another good thing is that the switching station for our T1 just happens to be conveniently located about 150 yards from our office so if/when the phone/data connections go out, we're fortunate enough to be one of the first customers back online due to our location. Bottom line: We thank you in advance for your patience if we disappear for a few hours tomorrow. Another factor in all this is that most of us have wives, husbands, and children to protect and it may be that we operate with a skeleton crew in the beginning. To our customers and vendors, all data is logged - if you can place an order, we can find it - so do not worry about making an order if you have a connection to our server. Just be patient and allow an extra bit of time for your order to be processed. Another item of note is that http://www.bmtmicro.com and ftp://ftp.bmtmicro.com are located at our providers' simply because we've never gotten around to physically moving the machines so you might be able to get to the BMT website but not the BMT secure server which _is_ at our office. If _that_ turns into a problem, we've made arrangements to locate our entire network at our providers and run our office via dialup to our servers. If you are a developer and we deliver your product in real time you might also be interested to know that we have made great progress in the past 2 weeks migrating our real time fulfillment products from the old system to a vastly improved system using Java servlets and Oracle. Another benefit is that much of the routine order processing can be done remotely since the orders are already billed and imported into the database. Isn't technology wonderful. ;-) From all of us here at BMT, we thank you for your kindness and consideration and we would like to personally think all of you who have written out of concern. You're the best! Thanks from all of us! Jimmy, Frank, Teri, Kim, Jennifer, Chris, Michele, Kristina, Todd, Shawn and Thomas!

"They like the return on investment that OS/2 gives them," says Carla Hanzlik, Editor of the monthly publication OS/2 For You. "They like the low cost of ownership, the low maintenance, the ability to run on older hardware, the robust networking, the Y2K readiness. They look at other solutions, they compare them point-by-point, and they choose OS/2." The most popular sessions among the business community are the following, according to Hanzlik. "IBM: The New Strategy To Control The Worldwide Desktop" discussion roundtable with Peter Coffee of PC Week, Esther Schindler of Sm@rt Reseller, and Alan Zeichick of Camden Associates. "This open debate will give insight to the direction that IBM will take in the future," says Hanzlik, "and will show how IBM is becoming extremely aggressive once again." "Warp Server for e-Business and WorkSpace On-Demand" by Steven King, Senior Manager of IBM's Network Computing Software Division. "The various servers required by business are covered in this session," says Hanzlik, "as well as the considerations for decision planning." "Web Server Performance and Scalability" by Robert Chapman of the Institute Of Advanced Development Strategies. Hanzlik has noticed much interest in this seminar, "because managers and business owners need to know up front what the problems are that their technical staff will face." "Warpicity: An Overview and Update" by Lynn Maxson. "The expense of developing software is huge," points out Hanzlik, "and this proposal could greatly change the model of creating unique applications." "Services Offerings for the OS/2 Platforms" by Steven King of IBM. "This is a fundamental checklist of the areas that must be included in a business plan," notes Hanzlik, "and covers both the range of projects and the reasons they are important to a business decision-maker." "WorkSpace On-Demand, Remote Client Connection" by Dennis Sposato of IBM's Network Computing Software Division. "A very powerful technology which incorporates both legacy and new hardware into a fully-functioning business network," Hanzlik states. "Warped Jeopardy!" hosted by Sundial Systems. "We've found this to be an extremely popular selection with business people, which matches the interest we've seen in all other groups," says Hanzlik. Hanzlik has been in the computer industry for 15 years, and Editor of OS/2 For You for six. She notes that there is prime interest in seeing specific exhibitors as well. "IBM will be showing OS/2 Warp Server For e-Business and WorkSpace On-Demand, and Serenity Systems will show their WiseManager product," says Hanzlik. "These are very cost-effective solutions for any business environment." "Phoenix Software and Sundial Systems have a number of applications for business users," continues Hanzlik, "including very sophisticated database and spreadsheet software which is customizable for specific business projects." "We've also had many inquiries about OS/2 preinstallers, and Demand Systems is one of our exhibitors who will build pre-loaded OS/2 machines that can simply be set on a desktop and turned on. In a business environment this is certainly less expensive than spending valuable time fiddling with the install software, the drivers and the configuration." "Business telephone needs are covered by Active Voice and Auto VoiceSystems," notes Hanzlik. "Auto-attendant, voice mail, fax, all these services are represented here." "And we also have the Institute Of Advanced Development Strategies, who will cover project scheduling technology and mainframe utilization." Cost-effective business solutions are covered at Warp Expo West! - - - Warp Expo West is free, free, free. The show will be held on September 18 near Disneyland in sunny Southern California.

Topic of this Speakup will be "Netscape 4.61 for OS/2". As of this posting, there have been 2 BETA drops of Netscape 4.61 for OS/2, and it's now in very limited GAMMA testing. Many improvements have been made since the release of Netscape 4.04, and many problems have been solved during this BETA testing cycle, building up to a (hopefully) soon-to-be-released GA version. Join us for this Live IRC event and chat with the developers.

Wright (wrightc@dtcweb.com) ********************************************************************** After a year of thorough beta-testing, Theta Band Software is proud to announce the final release of the Multimedia Pack for OS/2, a collection of utilities to enhance OS/2 multimedia. MMPack contains the following programs : MMCheck This is a utility that checks your MMPM/2 installation (i.e. MMPM2.INI) for errors or suspicious settings. If it finds any, it will tell you what they are, so that you can fix them. MPU-401 Driver This is a replacement for IBM's MPU-401 driver, which is used to MIDI support for a number of sound cards, including sound cards that use the Crystal Semiconductor drivers. Enhancements over IBM's driver include : fixes for Warp 3 SMP compatibility better hardware compatibility DOS sharing RTMIDI recording without an IRQ and more! NPDSMI 2.0 This is a plug-in for Netscape Navigator and Communicator for OS/2. The function of the DSMI plug-in is to play music module files embedded on web pages. Module files are 32 channel digital music and are of tremendously high quality. This new version 2.0 of the DSMI Netscape plug-in supports compressed zip module files. More information about MMPack is available on our web site at http://www.thetaband.com We will also demonstrate MMPack at Warp Expo West in Orange, California on September 18 . ---------------------------------------------------- Julien Pierre http://www.madbrain.com Theta Band Software LLC http://www.thetaband.com ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --- * Origin: Druids Grove <-> Internet Gateway (1:2624/801) 120 203/88 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: feedback@os2ezine.com 17-Sep-99 07:58:19 To: All 21-Sep-99 07:57:16 Subj: [WarpCast] MIDI Station Sequencer 2.0 Beta 6 Subject: [WarpCast] MIDI Station Sequencer 2.0 Beta 6 From: "WarpCast News Service" Reply-To: "WarpCast News Service" Warpstock 99 - Atlanta, October 16-17, 1999 Two fun filled days of OS/2 and YOU!

Some of the new features available are: 1 - Completed Piano Roll module 2 - Fixed problems with audio recording 3 - Fixed layout in Audio Track window - waves now display proper lengths 4 - Improved playback performance (still a few things left to do here) 5 - Minor bug fixes and enhancements The product is pretty much feature complete for this version. I strongly encourage you to try this version out as soon as possible and give me some feedback on it. Look for the GA version very soon. Also if you're interested in purchasing the sequencer I would recommend that you do so now because there may be a price increase when the product goes gold. IMPORTANT!! IMPORTANT!! IMPORTANT!! IMPORTANT!! IMPORTANT!! IMPORTANT!! There is something that you can do to drastically improve your playback performance. Change the timer sensitivity to 1ms. Originally the default was 5ms but this has turned out not to be optimal for playback. Look in the settings notebook on the "Advanced" tab and you'll see the option to change the timer sensitivity. You'll find that the performance improves considerably. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Wright (wrightc@dtcweb.com) ********************************************************************** In 1998, Stardock took the position that if IBM had no current or projected plans for a new fat OS/2 client, that it was in the interests of OS/2 users and the computing community in general that a third-party should work with IBM to license OS/2 technology on an OEM basis and make a new client available. To that end, late last year, Stardock prepared a business plan and opened negotiations with IBM. The wheels of bureacracy grind slowly, but eventually it was up to "IBM" (executive level) to make the ultimate call on proceeding. For the past 6 months, Stardock and IBM have been working closely together in hammering out the details of an OS/2 client. Everything from potential names down to which minute components would or would not be included. These meetings included multiple in person meetings with IBM staff and executives here at Stardock's office complex in Livonia Michigan. With an agreement in principle in place, the last major hurdle was this week in which the IBMers in favor of our proposal (mostly in Austin) presented their case to IBM as a whole. The call has been made -- there will be no new client from Stardock and IBM has indicated that they have no plans for an OS/2 based client of their own. Though IBM indicated Stardock had the strongest proposal, they have decided that it is currently not in IBM's or their customer's interests to license any current OS/2 technology on an OEM-basis. There was never any discord between IBM and Stardock over financials, technical viability, target market, or the like. IBM has simply finally made the decision that a new OS/2 client would be in conflict with their strategic directions. Stardock would like to extend a special thanks to all the IBMers (and in particular Ken Christopher and Timothy Sipples) who went above and beyond the call in working with us and going to bat inside IBM. Remember when you meet folks like them, who are and have been intimately involved with OS/2, that their hands may be just as tied as yours when the IBM Corporation as a whole sets policy. Everything that could be done was done.

Latches Lane, Merion, PA *** SEPTEMBER FEATURE PRESENTATIONS *** -- Members' OS/2 Tips and Tricks Night -- The main theme for the September meeting will be a continuation of presentations and live demos (if possible) by several SIG members, of interesting and helpful applications, tips and tricks which these members regularly employ to enhance the usefulness, productivity and enjoyment of their OS/2 systems. This will be a continuation of the August meeting when we were treated to two great presentations: SETI by Ben Bowers; and House/2 with the X10 Controller by Murray Weismer. Presentations of "URL Objects to Organize Websites" by John Davey and "Various WPS Tricks" by David Moskowitz, originally scheduled for August, will now be given in September. Larry Lavins will also present his very recent experience with the planning and successful installation of Windows 98-SE into his computer, alongside the previously installed OS/2. Many OS/2 users have expressed interest in a reliable, safe procedure for installing Win95/98 into an OS/2 system. The September meeting will provide another especially good opportunity for all our folks to come on out to see and learn more about what some of the other OS/2 users are doing and to share experiences and knowhow. Other agenda items include SIG business matters, OS/2 news, new software releases, Q&A session, software raffle, etc. An OS/2 system will be on hand for demos of OS/2, Java, Internet, etc., as time permits. Free light refreshments will also be available.

The DOS and Windoze guys must not have wanted me to catch up, but I've done it again. ;-) MAME runs 1785 classic and some not so classic arcade games of the 70's, 80's, and 90's from the comfort of your OS/2 desktop. This upgrade includes a few minor bugfixes as well as an updated MAME core. For more information and to download the latest version, visit http://emuos2.davesvgc.com.

Warp Expo West, the international "Warpfest Of OS/2 Excitement" in sunny California, held court to throngs of happy OS/2 revelers on Saturday as it filled lecture halls, exhibit areas and hallways with an enthusiasm unseen in recent memory. The four lecture halls were often at capacity, the exhibitor area often mobbed. "We had 20% more guests than anticipated," said Rollin White, Chairman of Warp Expo West. "We obviously underestimated the industry's interest in OS/2 and the number of people who would travel long distances to attend a major OS/2 function." International guests mingled with local attendees as lecture after lecture poured forth from the auditoriums and seminar rooms. The roundtable with Peter Coffee of PC Week, Esther Schindler of Sm@rt Reseller and Alan Zeichick of Camden Associates had people talking for the rest of the day, discussing the panelist's comments and sharing their own personal insights. Jerry Rash began the first of his four OS/2 multimedia lecture periods faced with an overflow crowd. Extra chairs were brought in and the audience spilled out through the doors and into the hallway, listening to his every word and vying for an occasional glimpse of the screen. When asked during a morning pause how the show was doing for bringing in new business, Jim Williams of IBM replied "We've already made several good contacts. Warp Expo West is about the best show we've been to." And so it went. Guests poured in from all over the U.S. and from overseas as well, taking in this massive gathering of OS/2 technology, products and information. Lecturers held impromptu discussions in the hallways. The Warped Jeopardy! game show presentation from Sundial Systems was a combined multimedia extravaganza and stage show delight. Live video feeds were sent around the world over Internet connections. Webfoot, The Duck made an appearance. Special exhibits lined the walls. Vendor100 was spectacular to watch as WiseManager from Serenity Systems instantly brought up icon after icon of Vendor100 software on every machine during the network bootup. Commercial- grade overhead projectors threw large images onto the auditorium screens. The OS/2 space game Stellar Frontier ran on a bank of machines. "We've accomplished what we set out to do," continued Rollin White, "and we've again brought OS/2 knowledge and products to the community, to both current users and new users, so that OS/2 will continue to be recognized for what it is - the best desktop operating system in the world today." - - - Warp Expo West was held last Saturday, September 18, in sunny Southern California. All the info is still at http://www.scoug.com/warpexpowest Admission was free. Special Credits: Rollin White, Chairman (he made it happen) Steve Schiffman, Facilities and Networks (he got the building, he got us connected) Carla Hanzlik, Web Mistress (she put us on the web) Sponsored by The Southern California OS/2 User Group. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --- * Origin: Druids Grove <-> Internet Gateway (1:2624/801) 120 203/88 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: feedback@os2ezine.com 20-Sep-99 03:21:20 To: All 21-Sep-99 07:57:16 Subj: [WarpCast] USER GROUP - Next Meeting of OS/2 Users Group of South Au Subject: [WarpCast] USER GROUP - Next Meeting of OS/2 Users Group of South Australia From: "WarpCast News Service" Reply-To: "WarpCast News Service" Warpstock 99 - Atlanta, October 16-17, 1999 Two fun filled days of OS/2 and YOU!

Wright (wrightc@dtcweb.com) ********************************************************************** We at Serenity Systems International were very encouraged by IBM's review of Stardock's OEM proposal for a client product. While we regret the decision by IBM not to execute the proposal at this time, we recognize the effort and resource expended reviewing the Stardock proposal. Serenity Systems has an OEM software agreement with IBM. We found the IBM process with Stardock so positive that we are preparing to explore a potential licensing agreement with IBM for a client product based on the Warp Server for e-business kernel. The Serenity Systems focus is not the traditional fat PC client. Therefore, the client workstation requirements for the Serenity Systems' Managed Client(r) products are significantly different than Stardock's requirements. However, the relationship between Stardock and Serenity Systems is one of mutual support and cooperation. It is our hope that Stardock will participate in some form in any proposal to IBM. Serenity Systems plans to announce a Statement of Direction regarding support for a Linux based Managed Client product. We want to make it clear that any such announcement is not a departure from, but an addition to, our OS/2 based client. OS/2 Warp 4 is the superior desktop client OS for Intel PCs in the market today. A commentary explaining our Linux and OS/2 positioning appeared on http://32bitsonline.com last week and is still available for review as "I'll Chose OS/2!". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --- * Origin: Druids Grove <-> Internet Gateway (1:2624/801) 120 203/88 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: feedback@os2ezine.com 15-Sep-99 00:49:20 To: All 21-Sep-99 07:57:16 Subj: [WarpCast] WEB: new URL for Warp Update Summary Subject: [WarpCast] WEB: new URL for Warp Update Summary From: "WarpCast News Service" Reply-To: "WarpCast News Service" Warpstock 99 - Atlanta, October 16-17, 1999 Two fun filled days of OS/2 and YOU!

Linux Today (http://www.linuxtoday.com) has picked up a follow up PRN from Serenity Systems which outlines why Windows2000 is a money losing proposition for businesses, with supporting information from Gartner Group. This PR recommends IT strategies develop a PLAN B .. exploring options, including OS/2, Linux, Java, Windows, and DOS. This is important and timely information for businesses addressing W2K migration expenses. OS/2 is not just a better way, but its value is increasing. The ROI is apparent on OS/2, non-existent with Windows 2000, as stated in the release material.

As software developers encounter problems in programs they are developing, they need access to three tools to assist them in correcting their problems. They need to access the assembly list, link map, and dump. Traditionally, they would have to look at each of these displays one at a time. Programmers would open each display, review the information, and finally close the display to move to the next display and repeat the process again. With (E)JES/2, they can open up any number of windows and simultaneously view all three displays concurrently with their work. This means programmers can solve their problems more effectively and efficiently then ever before. (E)JES/2 also seamlessly integrates the function of IBM's ISPF Client/Server product to provide a complete workstation development environment. All the power of ISPF is available without a traditional TSO address space. (E)JES is a workplace shell compliant software product jointly developed between Phoenix Software International and IBM's SDSF development team to fully exploit IBM JES 2 SDSF from a workstation. (E)JES/2 requires no emulators and directly communicates with SDSF running either on multiple hosts or sysplexes throughout your entire computer environment. The product maybe download from the Phoenix Homepage for evaluation on your OS/2 workstations. For additional information on (E)JES/2, please contact: Kevin M. Keyes Director of International Operations Phoenix Software International 5200 west Century Blvd. Suite 800 Los Angeles, CA 90045 Phone: (310) 338-0400 Ext: 310 Facsimile: (310) 338-0801 Internet: kevinkeyes@phoenixsoftware.com Homepage: http://www.phoenixsoftware.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --- * Origin: Druids Grove <-> Internet Gateway (1:2624/801) 3603/140 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ From: Larry Lavins 19-Sep-99 17:30:01 To: All 22-Sep-99 03:20:18 Subj: Philadelphia OS/2 SIG Mtg: Wed, Sep 22 OS/2 SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP PHILADELPHIA AREA COMPUTER SOCIETY http://www.phillyos2.org The OS/2 SIG of the Philadelphia Area Computer Society invites all interested computer users to attend the September meeting: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1999 7:00 - 10:00 PM The Episcopal Academy, 376 N. Latches Lane, Merion, PA *** SEPTEMBER FEATURE PRESENTATIONS *** -- Members' OS/2 Tips and Tricks Night -- The main theme for the September meeting will be a continuation of presentations and live demos (if possible) by several SIG members, of interesting and helpful applications, tips and tricks which these members regularly employ to enhance the usefulness, productivity and enjoyment of their OS/2 systems. This will be a continuation of the August meeting when we were treated to two great presentations: SETI by Ben Bowers; and House/2 with the X10 Controller by Murray Weismer. Presentations of "URL Objects to Organize Websites" by John Davey and "Various WPS Tricks" by David Moskowitz, originally scheduled for August, will now be given in September. Larry Lavins will also present his very recent experience with the planning and successful installation of Windows 98-SE into his computer, alongside the previously installed OS/2. Many OS/2 users have expressed interest in a reliable, safe procedure for installing Win95/98 into an OS/2 system. The September meeting will provide another especially good opportunity for all our folks to come on out to see and learn more about what some of the other OS/2 users are doing and to share experiences and knowhow. Other agenda items include SIG business matters, OS/2 news, new software releases, Q&A session, software raffle, etc. An OS/2 system will be on hand for demos of OS/2, Java, Internet, etc., as time permits. Free light refreshments will also be available. Mark the date and time: Wednesday, September 22, at 7:00pm, to hear about all the new and exciting developments, or if you have questions about OS/2 Warp and Java.
