Subj: [Warpstock] Sundial Will Fly Key Technical Staff To Warpstock Atlanta
From: Sundial Systems <sundialpr@sundialsystems.com>
Sundial To Fly Key Technical Staff To Warpstock
"Sundial Has The Answers" All Day Long In Atlanta!
Sundial Systems will bring its key technical team to Warpstock in a
major goodwill gesture of support for the OS/2 community.
"Our tech people are adept at creating systems that go together fast
and work cleanly," says Randell Flint, President of Sundial. "We want
every single OS/2 user to bring us the new projects they're working on,
the new systems they're creating, and let us try to come up with the
fastest, most cost-effective solution that's available. If it includes
our products, fine, but we'll give you system solutions no matter what
software you're using. We want to show everyone, everywhere, that
'Sundial Has The Answers'!"
Dan Kulp is the development manager for Sundial's Mesa 2 spreadsheet
software. "Yes, I'm flying to Atlanta as part of the Sundial Has The
Answers technical program," says Dan, "and I'm also giving a
presentation on Sunday. I've seen so many different uses of Mesa 2 in
ways that you wouldn't expect, things like financial planning, web and
network statistics analysis, stock options trading, chemical modeling,
that I feel that I can really help everybody who needs some assistance
in figuring out how to design a complete system or a single set of
spreadsheets. Besides, I really like to help people, and this is a
wonderful opportunity to pass my experiences along to others."
The Sundial development manager for Relish, Rollin White, will also be
in Atlanta to add his extensive knowledge to Sundial Has The Answers.
"That's our original product," says Rollin. "There are so many ways to
keep track of schedules and time-based data in Relish that people who
are longtime users still come to me and say, 'I didn't know you could do
that!'. I'll be at Warpstock to announce and give a presentation on our
newest product, and the rest of the time I'm going to help every single
OS/2 user I can talk with on their plans and strategies. I don't really
mind what software you finally choose, I just want to make sure that
every system that's planned around OS/2 software and networking is
designed for a fast rollout and easy maintenance."
And Randell Flint himself will participate in Sundial Has The
Answers. "That's always been our thrust," says Randell. "That's always
been my interest. I want to give people software solutions that will
then give them answers. That's why I wrote Relish, our first product.
That's why we now have Rover Pack, DBExpert, Mesa 2, Clearlook and a
brand new product as well. Software is just a tool to give you the
answers you need, and that's what I want Sundial to be - a place you
come to when you need answers. That's why I'm bringing the Sundial
technical staff to Warpstock, so we can help OS/2 users create some
great solutions with any software they want. We've seen so many
different projects that we're bound to have knowledge that others can
use. It's our way of saying thanks to OS/2 - 'Sundial Has The
Answers'".
Sundial Has The Answers will run all day, every day at Warpstock.
Bring your questions, bring your plans, bring your dreams and future
visions. Sundial has the answers.

Subj: Sundial Expands Warped Jeopardy, Announces Celebrity Contestants
From: "Carla Hanzlik, Sundial Systems" <sundialpr@sundialsystems.com>
Contact Carla Hanzlik, carla@sundialsystems.com
For immediate release
________________________________________________________________
Sundial Expands Warped Jeopardy, Announces Celebrity Contestants
The dazzling Warped Jeopardy! live game show produced by
Sundial Systems and scheduled for Sunday at Warpstock has been
expanded with new sound, new video clips and new multimedia.
Warped Jeopardy! debuted last month on the west coast "and was
great then" says producer Randell Flint, "but now it's even
better."
The on-stage contestants are three well-known OS/2 users of
high stature. Author David Moskowitz of OS/2 Warp Unleashed
fame will be first to tackle the questions as Sundial poses the
answers. OS/2 advocate Judy McDermott, driving force behind
VOICE and the Warpstock Board, brings her OS/2 knowledge to the
front of the Warped Jeopardy! theater. And Larry Finkelstein,
respected OS/2 developer and President of Warpstock Inc., holds
down chair number three.
The stage show is bigger, better, louder and brighter. The
multimedia is greatly expanded "with more full-motion video
playbacks, tighter production, an enhanced projection system for
our expanded trivia list" says Flint. "We've rounded up some
absolutely great clips from the tape vaults of OS/2 nostalgia,"
he adds. The entire multimedia show is controlled by a single
machine running Warp 4, a custom system created by Sundial.
"And we've doubled the amount of audience participation, since
we found that everyone likes a chance at the questions when we
give them the answers."
Warped Jeopardy! is based on the Jeopardy television show.
The computer driven game board offers different topic
categories, the host gives an answer, and the contestants must
give a correspondingly correct question. In effect, the three
celebrity guests have the questions and Sundial has the answers.
"This is meant to be a fun time," says Sundial President
Randell Flint. "The Sundial crew and I have spent several
months creating Warped Jeopardy! so that major OS/2 gatherings
such as Warpstock can have a unique, enjoyable and OS/2-oriented
special attraction. The people who come to Warpstock are deeply
involved with OS/2, and we've created an entire multimedia
gameboard with some truly wonderful and delightful trivia
questions for the three Warped experts we've scheduled for
Sunday."
Sundial's Warped Jeopardy! show starts right after Sunday
lunch. Seating is limited and you'll need an admission ticket,
so pick up your free tickets early at Sundial's exhibitor booth,
where "Sundial Has The Answers".
Sundial Systems supplies OS/2 users with a number of
high-quality software products covering spreadsheet, database,
desktop enhancement, time management, word processing and email
needs and consisting of Mesa 2, Rover Pack, Relish, DBExpert,
Clearlook and a new product to be announced at Warpstock.
Grab an early seat with a good view and watch these three
celebrity contestants guess the questions as Sundial has the
answers.

Subj: Sundial To Announce Trailblazing Email Technology At Warpstock
From: "Carla Hanzlik, Sundial Systems" <sundialpr@sundialsystems.com>
Contact Carla Hanzlik, carla@sundialsystems.com
For immediate release
______________________________________________________________
Sundial To Announce Trailblazing Email Technology At Warpstock
New Junk Spy Software Becomes Your Email Connection
Junk Spy is the newest OS/2 software product from Sundial
Systems.
"It's new technology and it intercepts your junk email,"
says Randell Flint, President of Sundial. "You connect your
favorite email program to Junk Spy, and Junk Spy then connects
to your mail server. Junk Spy sees your email before your
mail program does and watches for any trash messages. We've
been in development on this technology for two years."
There's a lot more inside Junk Spy than just a set of
filters. "We also supply a database of spammer clues which we
continually update, the same as an antivirus program," says
Flint. "We watch the message titles, the contents of the
messages and the information in the headers. We've tested and
tested and tested. Spam messages are no match for Junk Spy."
Junk Spy is important technology, and a seminar on the
product's underlying logic plus a demonstration of the software
is scheduled for Saturday at Warpstock.
"I'm speaking on the technology we developed during the
creation of Junk Spy," says Rollin White, Development Manager
for Junk Spy at Sundial. "We'll cover the methods that Junk
Spy uses to connect between your email program and the mail
server, the research we did to make the product easy to use,
and of course the Junk Spy engine itself that uses the
database of rules and knowledge that catches the spam
messages. We paid particular attention to the problem of
'false hits', since we don't want mail you are really
interested in to be misidentified as junk."
Junk Spy can be fine tuned as much as the user desires.
The Junk Spy control panel lets you adjust the individual
detectors inside it, and you can define exceptions such as
the acceptance of any spam messages that contain the string
"OS/2". You can even create your own detectors. The user
keeps total control of exactly how trash messages are handled.
And the Junk Spy database can update automatically if the
user chooses. "We've set up monitoring facilities to search
for new kinds of junk mail," adds Flint. "Our database gets
better and better, and you can set Junk Spy to automatically
update from our database. That's a user option. Plus, Junk
Spy also uses the Realtime Blackhole List of known spam
origination sites."
Sundial has the answer for the world's nastiest spammers,
and that answer is Junk Spy.
Bring Junk Spy into your own office to watch over your
email. Let it be your own personal secret agent, spying on
your incoming mail for the dastardly junk that steals your
time. Junk Spy will do a quick and easy 007 on the trash you
don't want in your neighborhood.
Sundial wants you to fire up Junk Spy and get back to using
email the way you want it to be - in your control and
well-protected from the dregs of spammerworld.

Hello Everyone,
The regular meeting of the Triangle OS/2 Users Group will take place on
Tuesday Oct.
26th at 7:30 PM at the IBM Sales Office, 4800 Falls of the Neuse Rd., Raleigh.
I've asked Roger Root to share with us his impressions of his recent trip to
Atlanta for
"Warpstock '99".
I'm about to leave for Florida for about a week and I haven't heard back from
Roger, but
he's pretty conscientious about attending the meetings. I'm driving back on
the 26th, so
if I'm not there to start the meeting... you know what to do.
Regards,
Steve
