TOOLS.INF ver 37 (c) Mike Walsh, Helsinki, December 1993
:p.
This package (TINF37.ZIP - December 1993) contains TOOLS.INF which is an
OS/2 INF file which can be "read" with VIEW.EXE.
:p.
The information it contains is as accurate as I can make it, but errors
obviously do creep in and companies do change their prices, telephone
numbers and addresses, so I am grateful for amendments and improvements.
:p.
My addresses are:
:p.Home - Mike Walsh, Visakoivuntie 11 T 36, SF-02130 Espoo, Finland
Tel: (358)-0-422425 CIS: 72557,3170 BIX: mwalsh2 I-Net: mike.walsh@compart.fi
:p.Work - Mike Walsh, Pohjola, Lapinmaentie 1, SF-00300 Helsinki, Finland
Tel: (358)-0-5592214 Fax: (358)-0-565-2205
:p.
Finland is GMT + 2 (except in Summer)
:p.
My policy has been to not include shareware or public domain software -
simply because the quantity would be uncontrollable. I've also tried to
restrict myself to products I've seen reviewed or mentioned in the
computer press. You thus may find lots of products in lists issued by IBM
that I have not included here - if they ever appear in the computer press,
they will make it then - till then I will doubt their existence as released
products (just as you should).
:p.
I've also omitted so-called vertical applications - I'm sure most of you
are as little interested in fifty programs for doing church accounts as I
am myself.
:p.
Finally I recommend Tim Sipples OS/2 FAQ available throughout Internet and
from hobbes.
:p.Mike
:p.
Thanks to OS/2 Professional I have been able to find some new products
despite a lack of OS/2 ads in the Ziff press. Readers of OS/2 Professional
will no doubt have been surprised when I've (in TINF35) previously
complained that OS/2 ads / product reviews are few and far between. The
reason is simple - I get the OS/2 Professional free to my US address,
which is the address of a friend of my wife + my Christian name. She
posts such magazines with magazines to my wife batched. So I've only just
received OS/2 Professional nrs. 1,3 and 4 (and 2 has presumably missed the
cut). Pity, but if I'd given my Finnish address I wouldn't have got any.
:p.
A final word about geography. Yes I *do* know that Czechoslovakia is no
more, however in the few cases where I have "Czechoslovak" addresses or
phone numbers, I have no idea whether they are now in the Czech Republic
or the Slovak Republic so I've left the words Czechoslovakia in the
address (reached by Hypertext on CS). The same goes for the former
Soviet Union, the former Yugoslavia etc.
:p.
I already mention Scotland so I'm ready for the "former United Kingdom".
