Announcement
IBM PSP Worldwide Developer Assistance Program
Press Release: April 26, 1994 San Francisco, CA
The IBM Personal Software Products Worldwide Developer Assistance
Program is proud to announce a worldwide file repository on the
Internet.
The Internet, with uncounted millions of users, is by far the
world's largest connected network. In an effort to better serve
the development community the IBM Worldwide Developer Assistance
Program is responding to the many requests for support through
the Internet. Tools, utilities, and information are now
available on the "information super-highway" for all DAP members
around the world.
The DAP Internet site, called "The DAP Information Library",
includes the following file bases:
DAPTOOLS LIBRARY Restricted Software - These tools, utilities,
demos, and sample code are available only to members of IBM's
Worldwide Developer Assistance Programs. Popular tools include
Phoenix2 (a FAT and HPFS unerase utility), DEBUGO (A terminal
debug program), MRFILEPM (file manager), and many, many more
exclusive tools.
EWS - This is a shadow of the IBM Employee Written Software file
collection. This library contains many tools and utilities of
general interest and some tools specifically for developers.
Tools include MSHELL and TSHELL (installable shells for OS/2),
TINYED (an OS/2 text editor), and many more.
DAPLIB - The DAPLIB will keep developers up-to-date with the
latest announcements and useful information for DAP members.
Until now these programs have been available only to DAP members
with access to CompuServe and to Premier/Commercial DAP members.
The DAP Information Library is a private repository, but access
is easy to get! It is open to all Worldwide DAP members.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ACCESS:
_ Users must be members of one of IBM's Worldwide Developer
Assistance Programs.
_ Users must use their own Internet service providers with true
TN3270 and FTP capabilities.
_ Users must agree to the terms and conditions of all license
agreements associated with both the libraries and the files
themselves.
CURRENT WW DAP MEMBERS:
Get the file WWDAP.TXT. This is the WWDAP application form with
a few lines added at the top to be filled out and returned.
Existing members need to fill out the top portion only! Once the
file has been e-mailed back to IBM your member access to the DAP
Information Library will be processed.
NON-DAP MEMBERS:
You must join the IBM Worldwide Developer Assistance program to
get access to the DAP Information Library Internet site. Fill
out WWDAP.TXT completely. Once your DAP ID Number has been
assigned, we will begin the processing of your access to the DAP
Information Library on the Internet.
ENROLLMENT:
The WWDAP.TXT file is located at most popular OS/2 Internet
sites. You may also ftp to the DAP Information Library Guest
account. The DAP Information Library is at DAP.SVO.COM
(192.203.134.5). There are 10 guest accounts (GUEST1, GUEST2,
... GUEST10). Log in with a password of DAP4ME. These
are limited access accounts and will give access to a few
information files including WWDAP.TXT (Worldwide DAP membership
