DeScribe 4.0!
Manufacturing Process Controllers Using OS/2!
Happy 1st Birthday OS/2 2.0!
A representative from the DeScribe Corporation will demonstrate DeScribe 4.0,
their 32-bit OS/2 graphical word processing program. DeScribe uses
multithreading and Workplace Shell integration features to builid the leading
word process for the OS/2 platform. DeScribe is not only suitable for word
processing, but also for many desktop publishing jobs as it incorporates many
file and graphic import filters and extensive page layout and drawing features.
Local OS/2 consultant Paul Moore will explain the program he is developing to
run on an OS/2 computer that will control tube mill and bending machines. This
is an example of where OS/2's multitasking, multithreading, and memory
protection make it very suitable for mission-critical applications.
We'll have a birthday cake and some books and programs to give away to
celebrate OS/2 2.0's one-year birthday. In its first year on the market, OS/2
2.0 has sold well over 2 million copies, surpassing industry expectations and
rapidly establishing itself as a leading-edge operating system for IBM
compatible 386 and 486 personal computers.
Schedule.
* User Group Announcements and OS/2 News *
* DeScribe 4.0 Demonstration *
* Presentation by Paul Moore *
Our ever-popular OS/2 question and answer session where you can get
help and advice from many other OS/2 users.

How To Contact
The San Diego OS/2 User Group
April 1993 marks the release of the fifth issue of our monthly newsletter.
We've noticed interest in it from people outside of the San Diego area and
would therefore like to provide a newsletter for any and all interested OS/2
users and potential users, including those outside of our area. As we are an
informal volunteer user group, we don't have fees or charge subscriptions for
the newsletter.
So far we've been financing user group activities out of our own pockets. But
this could get to be financially burdensome if many people outside of the San
Diego area would like to have the newsletter mailed to them, so we've come up
with a tentative plan to address this issue in a way we feel will be fair and
reasonable to all. Our intent is to try this plan for a few months and then
evaluate how well it worked and make adjustments if necessary.
If you'd like a sample issue of the San Diego OS/2 Newsletter, please send a
self-addressed stamped envelope with enough postage to cover about three or
four ounces (it cost $0.75 in the USA to mail the March issue) to our address
listed at the bottom of this announcement. If you'd like more than one issue,
send as many SASE envelopes as issues you'd like to receive.
After some discussion, we've decided that for now the best way for us to
recover our costs and to be fair is to ask for a donation to help cover
newsletter expenses. We'll leave the amount up to you - you are the best judge
of what you feel is appropriate after you've seen an issue of the newsletter.
Personal checks are completely OK as these are donations, not subscriptions.
You can make out any donation check to "Dave Sichak" who is the editor of the
newsletter. We'll use any donations we receive for covering newsletter
expenses.
If you'd like to contribute an article to the newsletter, we welcome that, too.
If we use it, you would be entitled to a complimentary copy of the newsletter
in which we used your material. We have an idea list and some hints at what
we'd like your articles to include.
Let us know if you are are interested in contributing articles and would like a
copy of the idea list. You can submit material via US Mail or via electronic
mail at the addresses listed below. Here's our mailing address:

Dear Dave,
Dave, I downloaded your electronic edition and had a chance to take a quick
look. It is just fabulous. You guys are doing a great job. as soon as I
finish up relocating my computer and have a chance to leisurely read the
newsletter, I'll for sure send a modest donation along with SASEs.
Keep up the great work!
Namaste',

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.2.3. Rick Barnett ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Dear Craig / Dave,
I just read your January and February issues - you really put some good writing
and illustrations in there. I read it using the INF viewer; this made it very
"user-friendly". I especially like the screen shots used in the software
reviews. It was the next best thing to actually running the program.
Congratulations on a great job!

Gee whiz, with folks like Rick and Len pouring on the congratulations, it might
be easy to take it easy and rest on a laurel or two. However, this issue sort
of highlights our limitations. It's the tax season and both Craig and I have
rather heavy schedules, out of town work, classes, other deadlines, etc. Think
we're not going to try and twist some arms for more help in our work? <G> But
it's nice to hear that folks think we're doing something worthwhile.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.2.4. Robert B. Freund ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Dear Dave,
I talked with Craig for probably 2 hours on the phone the other day. He seems
like a great guy and I really enjoyed the conversation. anyway, he should have
an integrated copy of my two reviews by now.
More importantly, I just downloaded the February newsletter off of Peter
Norloff's board and I AM IMPRESSED! You guys did a great job - very
professional looking and full of interesting tidbits. I am truly honored to be
included in the next (March) newsletter. Just wanted to drop a note and let
you know how impressed I was. Please keep up the GREAT work.

The job we do couldn't really be done if it wasn't for some of the unsung
heroes out there such as you Robert. Taking the time to write an in depth
review of software and compare it to the magazine write ups is much appreciated
by many of us who want to know more about the new OS/2 applications and their
performance as well as features. It also provides a nice counter to the stuff
we read in the media. In a sense, I feel that reviews by the real users out
there tend to have a bit more credibility. And don't appear to be tied to one
platform or another based on advertiser revenue. Don't mean to sound
redundant, but a tip of the hat to your efforts. Hope we get to spotlight more
in the future. Your articles even forced me to learn more neat INF tricks,
too.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.2.5. Gregory Allyn Mancuso ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Dear Dave,
I just downloaded a copy of your February 1993 newsletter off of OS/2 Shareware
BBS in Fairfax, VA. I am quite impressed by it. I have a couple of questions,
though. I noticed that you have a list of possible article topics and was
wondering if I could get a copy of it. Also, I read the list of presentation
topics you had set up. Most notably the "OS/2 Mini-Applets Presentation" by Ed
Miller. Would it be possible to get a copy of any notes or minutes from this
presentation ... or possibly have an article in a future newsletter on this
topic? It sounded quite interesting.
Also, is your newsletter going to be distributed on the fidonet file
distribution on a regular basis or was this a one time thing? I am assuming
that the newsletter was indeed sent out and not transcribed and uploaded
locally by someone who received a copy.
Thanks in advance for the information...

Ack. You had to remind me that I haven't done the January and February minutes
at this late day. But I am going to try and spotlight the mini-applets
presentation in the May issue. For article ideas, here's a brief list: Using
OS/2 at work? Let us know your experience (without divulging confidential
information). Using OS/2 software? Give us your impressions of it. Learned
anything about the WPS? How have you customized it? Share your tips. Seen
any taglines that are worthy of "stealing"? Picked up any OS/2 books or
magazines that have given you an impression? What would you like to see in the
newsletter? And yes, we do our own INF version; Craig uploads it for national
distribution.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.2.6. Stolen Taglines ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Never ceases to amaze me how clever some folks can get with one line at the end
of a message. Anyone know how taglines got started? -- Dave
My reality check just bounced.
It worked just fine in DOS.
You cannot kill time without injuring eternity.
If I wanted your opinion, I would give it to you.
Real programmers use a patch panel.
Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.
Monopoly? No, we just don't want competition.
Unable to locate coffee - operator halted.
Warning: Do not reuse tagline. Discard after use.
Laminites - strange people who show up inside new wallets.
I know just enough to know that I don't know enough.
Of course, for those who like the OS/2 versus Windows one-line jabs.
I have an OS/2 suit - It's multithreaded.
Have you crashed your Windows today?
OS/2: The more you try it, the more you like it.
How do I spell relief? OS/2!
Windows: Info at your fingertips. OS/2: Info in your hands.
WindowError004: Multitasking attempted; system confused.
WindowError015: Unable to exit through Windows. Try the door.
WindowError016: Door locked. Try Control-Alt-Delete.
WindowError020: Error recording error codes. Remaining errors lost.
New Technology? Try OS/2.
Windows: A banana peel awaiting its next victim.
If you don't believe hell freezes over, you haven't done Windows.

An Elegant Operating System

(Submitted by Author)
What is elegance? Rather than rely on a dictionary definition, think about
what sort of things strike you as elegant. Elegance is a simple concept. It
has to do with simplicity, power, beauty, grace, and common sense. For an
excellent article on the subject from a programmer's point of view, see the
article "In Search Of Elegance" in the "Works Cited" list following this
article. Although not often talked about directly, elegance has been taught in
principle for a long time by counterexample. Words like "kludge" indicate a
breach of elegance, and show the deep disdain which good programmers have for a
bad design. It makes them squirm. Try to make a good programmer use an
inelegant language or operating system , and you'll make them upset. Try to
make them write an inelegant program, and you'll have them at your throat.
Yet at the heart of the PC world, we have DOS and Windows, together the epitome
of inelegance, especially when considered with all of their attendant third
party add-ons. How could anything build atop DOS and not share all its
weaknesses, and even create new ones? And how could one implrement a stable
multitasking system building on top of a non-reentrant operating system
designed from the ground up for single-tasking? Trying to multitast DOS
functions will crash the system. The obvious answer is that you can't just
extend DOS, you must pre-empt DOS to some degree. Overriding parts of DOS, and
leaving other parts somewhat intact, is in fact the compromise which all users
of DOS, Windows, DESQview, or any other environments that build on top of DOS
must accept to gain any additional capabilities. Although compromises must be
made, the users of such systems accept their patchwork designs without a second
thought. They get the job done, at least sometimes, so the PC community sweeps
the issue of elegant design under the carpet.
Yet the inelegance of the DOS environment will not remain hidden. It pops out
in annoying little ways at every turn. BBS sysops curse up and down because
their whole system freezes regularly, or crashes in weird and spectacular ways.
Secretaries and office workers alike bemoan the limitations of an eight plus
three filename, forcing them to name their sales reports "JNJLSL92.RPT" instead
of something more natural. And few things cause a programmer to froth at the
mouth more than seeing a compiler fail with an "out of memory" error on a
machine with 8 megabytes of RAM.
Silly as it sounds, the first thing that occurs to the people bound by
inelegance is not that they should abandon their limited system as soon as a
better option is available, but that they should patch it up even more. The PC
software industry does a booming business in DOS add-ons, each claiming to
finally make DOS everything you want it to be. Windows claims that it makes
DOS easier to use, but then you find out that New Wave and Norton Desktop are
what you need to make Windows easy to use.
What do you buy to make all these things work together? You can't. Some people
who can't deal with all of this have defected to the Mac world, where file
names can be anything you like, even "June/July Sales Report", and you don't
get out of memory errors as quickly on a 4MB machine. That's no solution for
people who want IBM compatibility, the lower expense of buying clones, or the
ability to use a command line interface whenever they choose. But little do
most people know that a real world solution to many of the problems inherent
and DOS and Windows has been widely available for over a year now. And it is a
worthy successor to Windows and DOS - may they rest in peace.
Enter OS/2. OS/2 throws away the old limitations of DOS, bringing new
abilities built on a solid foundation for personal computing. Finally PC users
can have a truly elegant operating system.
The First Principle of Elegance is consistent design. For the users, it means
that a standard user interface is required, but for programmers the system
should be logical and straightforward to program. Unlike Windows, where the
API (Application Programming Interface, a fancy name for system calls) are not
named consistently, all OS/2 function calls are organized into strict naming
and parameter conventions which make programming OS/2 easier to learn by
eliminating annoying irregularities.
The Second Principle of Elegance is abstraction. As well as being efficient
and powerful, system designers must have a vision of computing that embodies
powerful abstractions and new concepts. The latest abstraction (and of course,
buzzword) to hit the computer scene is object orientation. The Workplace Shell
(WPS) in OS/2 shows the whole system in an object oriented framework.
Documents, spreadsheets, disk drives, and printers all become active objects,
having capabilities and actions they can perform for the user rather than
requiring the user to remember which pro- grams or commands to run for every
action. You open a document by clicking on it, rather than needing to specify
what program to run and then loading your document. At the programming level,
Workplace Shell is built on top of System Object Model (SOM), a language
independent object oriented programming model built into OS/2. SOM allows new
objects to be added to the WPS. Hooks are included in the system for accessing
the WPS from a variety of programming languages, both object oriented ones like
Smalltalk and C++ and conventional languages like C.
Other powerful ideas are embodied in the various subsystems of OS/2, and have
been since OS/2 1.0. Gordon Letwin's original work Inside OS/2 is still a must
read for any OS/2 interested party. OS/2 has changed a lot since 1.0, but even
2.1 still contains many of the design concepts and even some of the code which
he wrote, ported over to 32-bits of course.
Microsoft is now working on its own operating system, Windows NT, which is
based upon the Windows 3.1 API. Unfortunately for NT fans, Windows NT will most
likely contain many of the same design constraints, compromises, and
inconsistencies of Windows 3.1. The DOS world has shown that building on top
of a poor foundation is not a good route to an elegant solution. NT uses a
new, more solid foundation, but Microsoft has gone to great lengths to make NT
look like the old system built on a poor foundation in order to be familiar to
users and programmers.
It seems Microsoft has discovered yet another way to be inelegant.
The Third Principle of Elegance is to anticipate the future. This is important
anywhere, but especially in operating systems. When DOS 1.0 came out 640KB was
a ridiculously high amount of memory, so it never occurred to anyone to make
the limit higher. In fact, the 8088 they designed DOS around could only
address 1 megabyte of memory anyway, so there was no use in trying. But when
the 80286 came out we started running 286 machines as fast XT's. The 386 and
486 are now popular, but most of them are still running as if they were fast
XT's. We do not need any faster XT's, what we need are advanced capabilities
with room for future expansion. OS/2 allows expansion in many areas. OS/2's
API's are in separate loadable sections (dynamic link libraries, or DLL's), and
new API's can be added, or old ones replaced, by simply adding another file.
Even file systems can be added. OS/2 1.0 and 1.1 only supported the DOS-style
FAT file system with DOS filename limits, but OS/2 1.2 and later releases,
including 2.0 and 2.1, added support for multiple installable file systems. In
particular, OS/2 supports the High Performance File System which is commonly
known as HPFS. HPFS not only allocates disk space efficiently and accesses
files faster, it also adds two important new features. HPFS lets you use long
file names. For example, you could save your file as "1994 Marketing Proposal"
rather than 94MKTPRO.DOC. HPFS supports extended attributes which among other
things help OS/2 attach icons to files and associate files with the
applications that created them so you can double-click on the file and have it
loaded by the application automatically. The modularity of OS/2 has a price,
and that is part of the reason for its large size. But modularity pays off
eventually. If you use DOS you need to fill up a large chunk of your hard
drive with utility programs to manage DOS for you. OS/2 already comes with many
of these functions included as operating system features packaged into its many
subsystems.
Chances are, if there are things that really annoy you about any system (even
OS/2) they are either due to a misunderstanding on your part or an inelegant
aspect of the operating system. Relics, design decisions which depended on a
situation that no longer exists such as the 640KB limit of DOS, cannot be
overcome except by abandoning the old design completely. What then of
compatibility? It does require tradeoffs to obtain compatibility, but are they
really worth it? OS/2 does manage a very good job of DOS compatibility,
because it fully utilizes the Virtual 8086 mode of the 386 and higher
processors. The difference is that when all DOS applications are all dead, DOS
compatibility can be easily removed from OS/2, and no ill effects will remain.
Your choice is whether to choose stagnancy by staying with an antiquated system
which no longer can keep up with your machine's capabilities, or to drop your
old system. If you choose to move onwards and upwards, you will have to undergo
the temporary discomforts of moving your data to a new operating system and
adjusting to a few new ways of doing your work. If you adjust, you will never
go back. The people I know who have run OS/2 and switched back did not run
OS/2, but merely booted OS/2 and used it only to run their DOS applications.
They didn't want to wait for OS/2 to load, or have it sit on their disk space,
because they were not using any of OS/2's features.
Using OS/2 to multitask DOS is like using a Lamborghini only to get groceries:
sure it will do the job, but why have a Lamborghini if you are not going to run
flat out with it sometimes? In order to experience what OS/2 is about you need
to run some OS/2 applications, and do some work with only OS/2. Go back to
your DOS apps whenever you need them, but soon you will find yourself reluctant
to go to a DOS prompt. You will gradually retune your mind to look for
elegance and to work in elegant ways, and you will become accustomed to the
benefits of an elegant system. When you have to use a DOS/Windows machine, you
will wonder how anyone else manages to get any work done on a floundering
dinosaur of a computer system.

"I know it's on the disk... somewhere!" How often has that expression been
uttered? In an OS/2 system with hundreds of folders and thousands of files,
it's difficult to remember where something is. Getting to it, quickly, can be
a chore for all but the most frequently used files.
Second scenario: The text "KCC Membership" is in one of the ".DOC" files.
Which one? Even if long file names are used, there is a tendency to forget the
exact contents of files. Locating the correct one can be very time consuming.
Starting with FIND, the DOS operating system has a number of utilities to
locate files or directories. One of the most popular and easy to use 3rd party
DOS finding utility is WHEREIS.EXE. OS/2 does it better.
Among the myriad of mini-apps included with OS/2 is a function called "Seek and
Scan Files". As the name suggests, it finds files. It also finds text in
files. It's fast. In a subjective test, Seek and Scan took 19 seconds to find
one of about eight thousand files in over three hundred directories. The Seek
and Scan Files Icon is in the OS/2 System -> Productivity folder.
Seek and Scan files will quickly search one or more disks for files or text.
When a match is found, the file name pops into a list box. The file can be
opened, processed, or have commands applied directly to it, from the list box.
Opening would be the process of loading the file into the editor (E.EXE is the
default, which can be easily changed). Processed would run the selected file,
and Commands would be something like renaming or copying the file. When text is
found, the location (file name) is displayed in a list box.
In summary, Seek and Scan is a handy and helpful function to have on hand. Too
bad it's buried two folders down from the Desktop. To access it, there is the
wait while the Icons of OS/2 System and Productivity are loaded. A shadow can
be placed on the Desktop, speeding up access considerably. This is a
serviceable solution, however it has two minor drawbacks. The first is that
the Seek and Scan Icon takes up space, making the Desktop look a little more
cluttered. The second is that the Icon seems to always be under some opened
windows, making it hard to get at, which is not why it's on the Desktop.
There is a better way. Why not make Seek and Scan a hot key away with the
Desktop pop-up menu? Just place the pointer on any empty space of the Desktop,
between windows, hit Right Mouse Button, and either hit "k", or click on a new
selection. That's fast and easy.
Here's how. It involves modifying the Desktop settings and the setting for
Seek and Scan Files.
First, open OS/2 System, then Productivity. Click the right mouse button on
the Seek and Scan File icon, and open the settings. On the first page of the
program notebook is the Program name, in this case PMSEEK.EXE. Under the
option `Parameters:` there should be nothing. Add a single "" sign (without
the quotes) to this field and save the new settings. The reason for this is
that the "" sign stops OS/2 from passing the parameter "OS/2 2.0 DESKTOP" when
PMSEEK is started.
Save the new setting but don't close the Productivity folder. It will be
needed later.
Next, switch to the Desktop and bring up the Desktop notebook and open
Settings. Click on the Menu tab. The screen shows "Available Menus" and
"Action on Menus". Make sure the "Primary pop-up menu" is selected. On the
lower half of the page is another listbox, which will be empty when OS/2 is
installed. To the right of that listbox are the selections "Create Another",
"Settings", and "Delete". Click on Create Another and the Menu Item Settings
box appears.
In the Menu Item Settings screen there is a prompt for the Menu item name, and
the program. In this case, the Menu item name will be the selection that's to
be added to the Primary pop-up menu. Here is the string to type in (don't
include the quotation marks): "See~k and Scan Files".
Notice that the string contains a special symbol, the tilde ( ~ ). This is
important because it denotes the next key as the hot-key. In other words,
pressing this one key when the menu is active will call the program. It also
causes the following letter to be underlined when the menu is shown by OS/2.
After the menu name is entered, it's still necessary to describe what is wanted
when the item is selected. In this case, the action is to run Seek And Scan
Files.
Here, the program field is empty. Although it's possible to type in the name
of what you want, it's easier to get the computer to find it. (That's part of
the reason for getting OS/2, have the computer do the work). Just click on
Find program. The Find window will appear. Click on Locate and select
Productivity. This is why the Productivity folder wasn't closed earlier.
Select OK, then Find. A scrolling box showing the icons of files in
Productivity will appear. Select the icon representing Seek and Scan Files,
then click OK.
Next, the Menu item setting box reappears, and the Program name will be filled
in. All that's left is to select OK again and the Menu tab page of the Desktop
notebook will be displayed.
Close the Desktop settings. That's all there is to it. This procedure takes
longer to describe than to do.
Now, whenever the primary pop-up menu for the Desktop is activated and you want
to find a program, just press k or mouse down and click on Seek and Scan Files.
Other objects can be added to the primary pop-up menu. One procedure that is
quite useful is to create another Cascade or Conditional Cascade "Available
menu" and put the DOS or OS/2 command lines in the new menu. Additional system
resources can be added as well.
It's simple to add selections, including more menus, to the OS/2 Desktop pop-up
menu. IBM has left plenty of room for expansion and customizing.

Sure do - it has pdf(), CDF(), inverse pdf(), and inverse CDF() for Standard
Normal distributions. It also has a very good Random() number generator which
is used for generating Uniform(), Erlang(), Positive Normal(), and Bernoulli()
random variables. You, and anyone else interested, are more than welcome to
use my dll. Just contact me at (607) 687-0828 and we can make arrangements for
download -it is called
StatFunctions.dll 47168 2/28/93
I will also make the source code, definition file, make file, and IBM C/C++
compiler options available to anyone interested. Note: I have seen references
to some way of taking these personal messages off-line. Unfortunately, I am
not aware of how to do this. I am more than willing to learn, however, and will
anxiously read any responses to this affect.
Good luck, and hope this helps. As you will see from the source code, the
hardest part about writing these dlls is the parsing that is needed in order to
get the appropriate data from 1-2-3. Several of my functions make use of a
pretty generic parsing routine and should serve as a decent base for
expansion.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.5.1. User Group Introduction ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
We try to list known OS/2 User Groups whenever we get the information. Of
course, we can't be responsible if the information proves to be unreliable --
you, the reader are our best source of this information.
And we're learning of more and more OS/2 user groups across the country and
even around the world every week. It's been slow, but we have made some
contacts and we may be able to exchange information and articles in the future.
If you're travelling and have some free time, stop in on one these meetings.
If you know of another OS/2 user group, drop us a line and we'll mention them.
Remember, we'll list them all in the INF file each time. And thanks!

The San Diego OS/2 User Group has participated in the San Diego Computer Fair
in which over 18,000 people attended over a three day weekend last September.
This group has started an OS/2 newsletter with the goal of providing
information to not only OS/2 users but also to others who are interested in
learning more. Our aim is to also develop the newsletter so that it becomes a
community effort among the OS/2 user groups and SIGs.
Past meeting topics have included presentations by IBM's Ultimedia for OS/2;
Lotus demonstrating beta versions of 1-2-3 and Freelance Graphics for OS/2; an
introduction to REXX, demo of the December OS/2 2.1 beta along with Visual
REXX; Eddie Miller, one of the authors of "OS/2 2.1 Unleashed" sharing insights
into the OS/2 mini-applets; and, local OS/2 developer Jeannine Wolf discussing
the OS/2 Config.SYS file and providing tips.
In April, the feature presentation is from DeScribe Corporation on their 32-bit
Word Processor for OS/2 and local OS/2 consultant Paul Moore will explain the
program he is developing to run on an OS/2 computer that will control tube mill
and bending machines. And of course, a birthday celebration for OS/2 2.0's
first birthday.

Westchester OS/2 1st Birthday Smash Hit!

Westchester OS/2 Users Group
(Submitted by Author)
On March 31st, 1993, on the first anniversary of OS/2 2.0's release, over 165
people gathered at the Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza hotel in White Plains, New
York, at 7pm in the evening, to celebrate with the Westchester OS/2 Users Group
and IBM the very first OS/2 birthday party.
Paulo Pignatelli, the single proprietor of the famous OS/2 Corner Store in
Connecticut, kicked off the party with a charged locker-room pep speech and
fired up the audience for the night. William F. Zachmann, the esteemed former
columnist of PC Magazine, declared that he wasn't ever really an OS/2
supporter, but that he picked the OBVIOUS winner in the ensuing battle for the
GUI desktop. Even though he had laryngitis, he still managed to keep the crowd
riveted with his usual wit.
Several last minute guests gave brief speeches, including Wally Casey, the VP
of Marketing for IBM Personal Systems, who stated his intentions of an
aggressive and ruthless marketing campaign when OS/2 2.1 is released. The Vice
President of Product Development of Wordperfect Corporation spoke about
WordPerfect's commitment to the OS/2 platform, and announced the soon to be
released WordPerfect 5.2 for OS/2, a port of the best selling Windows product,
and WordPerfect 6.0 for OS/2 to be released later on this year which would be a
completely native 32-bit OS/2 application. He said that WordPerfect decided to
do a port of the Windows product because so many people were requesting an
interim release. Those customers that purchase 5.2 for OS/2 would get the
upgrade to 6.0 either for free or minimal cost. Other highlights of the party
included demonstrations of the newly released OS/2 Speech Recognition Developer
Kit and the public introduction of the newly appointed officers of the recently
incorporated Westchester OS/2 Users Group,
Awards were presented to William Zachmann, "For making the ultimate sacrifice
for OS/2", to Irv Spalten of the IBM Boca Research Centre, and to Jim Gilliland
of FidoNet for his superb job as the OS/2 Support moderator. Shortly
afterwards four people picked at random from the audience were "deputized" as
OS/2 Enforcement Officers. The oath was taken by virtually everyone in the
audience, including the several high-level IBMers that attended:
I, (STATE YOUR NAME) DO HEREBY SWEAR,
TO NEVER DO WINDOZE AGAIN.
TO FIGHT ALL FEAR, UNCERTAINTY AND DOUBT, HEREAFTER KNOWN AS FUD, ABOUT OS/2 IN
ALL NEWSPAPERS, MAGAZINES & BULLETIN BOARDS.
TO PREVAIL IN ALL SKIRMISHES INSTITUTED BY THE WEASELS OF WEDMOND AND COLLECT
AS MANY WEASEL PELTS AS LAWFULLY PERMITTED.
TO TAKE ALL INDUSTRY PUNDITS, CONSULTANTS, INSULTANTS, AND YELLOW JOURNALISTS
TO THE WOODSHED AS REQUIRED.
TO DO OUR BEST IN TEACHING UNWASHED SALESMEN IN THE RETAIL STORES, THAT OS/2
WILL NOT EAT THEIR COMPUTER. AND TO INFORM THEM, "YES VIRGINIA, THERE REALLY
ARE OS/2 APPLICATIONS."
TO EDUCATE ALL THOSE WHO WILL LISTEN, THAT MICROSOFT IS STILL PROMISING TO
DELIVER, IN TWO OR THREE YEARS, WHAT YOU CAN BUY TODAY...OS/2.
TO DEMAND FROM BILL GATES, OS/2 VERSIONS OF ALL HIS APPLICATIONS BECAUSE IT'S
NOT TWO MILLION...IT'S CLOSER TO THREE MILLION.
TO CONTINUE TO TEACH IBM HOW TO MARKET OS/2.
TO PRESERVE, PROTECT, AND DEFEND THE REPUTATION OF OS/2, SO HELP ME GERSTNER.
After many laughs, the Westchester OS/2 Users Group auctioned off donated
software, books and assorted OS/2 goodies to a national charity for abused and
neglected children. Over $1200 was collected in proceeds towards this worthy
cause.
125 March 2.1 beta CD's and specially designed OS/2 Birthday Party T-Shirts
were given out as courtesy gifts from IBM. A OS/2 birthday party cake was
quickly devoured by the hungry and largely intoxicated crowd. Several hundred
copies of OS/2 Professional and OS/2 Monthly were also distributed to the
attendees.
The party officially ended sometime after 10:00 in the evening, although a
dozen or so others and guest speakers stayed around until 2:00 in the morning
at the hotel bar to make merry and talk OS/2.

TEAMOS2 Success Story in North Carolina

Durham, NC (1:3641/1)
The North Carolina "chapter" of Team OS/2 did an OS/2 Day at the new Egghead
store here in Cary NC, and I just thought I'd share how things went this
Saturday. Can you say "Mega Success"? Sure ya can! The place was MOBBED. Over
65 people signed up for the drawing for a free copy of OS/2, and more probably
would've signed up if it hadn't been for the fact that the crowd around the
demo tables was so big that some folks couldn't get to the table to sign up!
We had a multimedia machine showing the latest OS/2 multimedia goodies in the
2.1 beta, and a Thinkpad color notebook running OS/2. From the perspective of
the Egghead store management, the best part of the event was that they SOLD OUT
of OS/2 to the crowd that was there, every copy they had on their shelves! Not
only did they invite us back for another OS/2 Day, but they're even going to
call their store up the road in Durham and get them to do an OS/2 Day also!
The moral of the tale: we can't change the world, but each of us CAN change our
CORNER of the world, and with enough people changing their corner of the world,
big things can happen!

Here's a partial list of user groups planning birthday parties. I've deleted
names that were not open to other users (such as internal corporate OS?2 user
groups). Great, isn't it? By the way, if someone expects to be on this list
but doesn't see his/her gorup, plese contact me immediately at (914) 766-3549.
Thanks, Janet.

PHOENIX, Ariz., March 1, 1993 - IBM's Personal Software Products (PSP) today
announced that OS/2 2.0, the advanced operating system for personal computers,
has been awarded the Computer Language Jolt Cola Award for Product Excellence.
This brings to nine the number of computer-industry awards presented to OS/2
2.0 in the last three months.
The Computer Language Jolt Cola Award recognizes a product that has had a major
impact on programmers in the past year and that represents important concepts
for future software development.
"I am honored to accept this prestigious award on behalf of IBM," said John
Soyring, director of software marketing products for PSP. "I give credit to the
programming community around the world who helped shape OS/2 2.0 as a product.
Programmers have rallied around OS/2 2.0 as a software development platform to
create innovative and exciting new software products for users running OS/2,
DOS, Windows, and host applications."
According to Soyring, programmers worldwide have embraced OS/2 to create
innovative and powerful new applications that exploit the advanced technology
of the award-winning operating system. This superior technology includes
integrated object technology with the system object model (SOM), a powerful yet
easy to use graphical interface called the Workplace Shell, true preemptive
multithreading and multitasking, and parallel I/O.
Since November 1992, OS/2 2.0 has won awards from the computer industry's
leading trade publications worldwide, which have honored it in categories such
as technical excellence, most promising new product, and best operating
system/environment.
OS/2 2.0's Enhanced Features
OS/2 2.0 is the award-winning advanced operating system for 32-bit personal
computers that protects customer's investments in existing software by enabling
them to run tens of thousands of applications originally designed for DOS
and/or Windows, as well as the new applications designed specifically to take
advantage of the advanced technology in OS/2 2.0. This robust platform offers
superior technology, including an easy-to-use graphical user interface called
the Workplace Shell, true preemptive multitasking that allows customers to run
multiple software platforms simultaneously, and Crash Protection, which guards
against one application being able to bring down the entire system.

Can't say we don't try for something different once in a while. I was visiting
the UCSD library this past weekend and stumbled across an old magazine or two.
A front page article from InfoWorld dated January 4, 1988 caught my eye. Can
you name the various names OS/2 had during it's development cycle before it was
first unleashed on the public back then? Can you say "DOS 5.0"? How about
"New DOS"? Or maybe you prefer "Future DOS"? And finally the infamous "ADOS"
("A" was for "Advanced"...). The writer, Alice LaPlante, also mentioned that
it might take a few years to catch on. Was she off the beam?

Switching from an Always IN/2000 to an Adaptec 1542c with external CD
Technology (Toshiba) T3401 CDROM: A Trial by SCSI.
1. Justification for the choices
a. Always IN/2000 problems
1. lack of driver support
a. Columbia Data Products: $50 + cable (Mac)
b. no guarantee of future support
2. lack of faith in company
b. Adaptec 1542c
1. advantages
a. widespread use in OS/2 community
b. native support in OS
c. great driver support
d. co-founders of .ADD standard
2. problems
a. maximum 16MB DRAM (unlike Always) now permitted under OS/2.
b. some clones do not fully implement/support ISA bus mastering
c. since the ISA bus only supports one bus master one cannot buy an
XGA video bus master.
c. Toshiba 3401 (as CD Technology)
1. Toshiba 3301 was IBM standard
2. SCSI-II and XA compatibility
3. IBM developers offer through CD Technology
4. Macintosh compatibility
2. Setup
a. OS/2 2.0: GA+SP
b. OS2CROM.ZIP drivers and readme files.
c. Seagate ST296N (80MB) and Maxtor 7213SR (205MB)
3. Source and Prices
a. CD Technology 3401
1. An internal Toshiba 3401 mounted in a metal case.
2. "Special" offer for OS/2 Developers (need form that came with PDK)
a. price
1. internal: $450
2. external: $500
3. shipping and handling: $25
b. contents
1. CDROM drive and power supply
2. one caddy
3. slender docs (DOS only)
4. no software
5. NO SCSI terminator ($15 extra)
6. NO cable ($20 extra, Future Domain only)
b. Adaptec 1542c (bare, no drivers)

6. 800-934-2766 literature line
7. BBS: 408-945-7727 V.32 bis
4. Lessons and Surprises
a. SCSI Cable
1. The SCSI cable is very thick and bulky! Now I understand why Apple
dropped half of the ground wires in their implementation! It's also
long: 6 feet. The SCSI spec requires cables be at least .3 meters
long (1 foot), the entire chain cannot be longer than 6 meeters.
b. Documentation and technical support
1. There is little. The docs that come with the Adaptec 1542c are
paltry, and there's nothing more available on the Adaptec BBS. The
T3401 docs refer to the non-existent on/off switch. There's no
documentation on:
a. synchronization
b. parity checking (recommended for all attached drives)
c. necessity of low level formatting
2. The off-peak wait on Adaptec's 800 line is about 20-30 minutes.
c. CD Technology 3401
1. no on/off switch: with dire warnings that one must "EJECT disk before
powering off drive to avoid damage to optical head". Of course
booting OS/2 without a disk in the drive means that OS/2 treats the
drive as a floppy disk rather than a CDROM drive! In fact as long as
it's plugged in it's on. Don't turn it off without removing the CD.
2. power supply is roughly the size of a (small) loaf of bread.
3. there's no internal termination
4. the case is fairly cheap looking
d. Adaptec 1542c
1. The Seagate ST296N had to be low level formatted. It seemed to work
without this step at first but sectors soon started going bad. The
same appears to be true of the Maxtor, though it was having
mechanical problems as well.
2. OS/2 doesn't automatically use the AHA154x.ADD drivers during
installation. I had to insert the BASEDEV line manually.
3. The 1542c doesn't seem all that much faster, with it's native
driver, than my IN/2000 INT13 controller was (DOS apps). The WPS
does seem more responsive.
4. The software control of termination and other controller settings is
quite lovely.
5. Default settings (not in manual)
a. IRQ11, DMA channel 5, SCSI ID 7, Parity checking enabled,
synchronization disabled, DMA transfer rate 5.0MB/sec (can be set
higher at one's own risk).
e. OS/2 CDROM support
1. OS/2 only recognizes the device as a CDROM if a disk is in the drive.
2. If the installation is done properly the CDROM is assigned the drive
letter following that of the last hard drive.
3. The new icon appears magically in the drive folder.
4. You can eject the drive from within OS/2.
5. Preparation
a. Review FidoNet OS/2 Technical and Hardware echo notes.
b. Calls to Adaptec BBS and technical support
c. Review settings for i/o ports, BIOS mappings, for all system components.
(Can use manifest, stored in a spreadsheet). Note default OS/2
location for EMS mapping is 'AUTO' (nice feature)).
1. Print out this information!
d. Record all serial numbers and BIOS info from 1542c. Confirm DIP
settings are as per manual.
6. Procedure
a. Backup data
1. Use Kelder utilities or other utility to back up workplace settings.
In my experience these are not reliable, but Kelder's seems to do
the least damage and saves many steps. Curse IBM roundly for not
providing decent backup tools for the WPS and for data.
2. pkzip (no EAs) to archive. (Dangerous since one bad sector means you
lose everything!)
3. backup archive using 'splice' from PCMag or OS/2 backup. If the
latter be sure to backup the archive from the root directory as
restore requires the same directory be used.
b. Get Service Pack Update.
c. Download OS2CDROM.ZIP from Fernwood, review especially the read.me file.
Note the change in OS/2 CDROM support from GA!
1. 1-203-483-0348
d. Get latest device drivers from Adaptec BBS (optional).
1. 1-408-945-7727
2. new1540.zip (AHA154x.ADD dated 1-25-93).
3. Note readme file: use of command line switches.
e. Sacrifice a chicken.
f. Swap drive controllers. Note that the system BIOS is set for NO hard
drive installed.
g. Boot, and watch for the <Ctrl><A> prompt. Using the built in utilities
to low level format all drives. Test the DMA transfer.
h. Install OS/2 2.0 in a 50MB partition. Install all desired fonts and
drivers. Shutdown. Install the Service Pack. Shutdown. Curse IBM for
not releasing OS/2 2.01 with integrated service pack. Pray for the
nirvana of system installation from CDROM -- the PC equivalent of
mainframe tapes.
i. Following instructions from OS2CROM.ZIP copy needed files into \OS2, and
then optionally copy newer version of Adaptec driver from new1540.zip.
Make the requisite changes to config.sys, commenting liberally. This
will include an updated AHA154x.ADD driver, though the one from the
Adaptec BBS is more recent still.
1. Be sure the BASEDEV for CDROM support, and the IFS statement FOLLOW
the BASEDEV and IFS statements for hard drive support!
j. Revise config.sys to the AHA154x.ADD driver instead of INT13 support.
k. Shutdown and reboot.
l. Restore files and workplace settings.

Canon USA has had it's share of problems, most have been caused by management
in Japan! Canon in Japan has not and would not provide any OS/2 drivers
(ignorant)! FINALLY, Canon USA has set up it's own development group located
in CA. Drivers are presently in alpha, and I'm expecting a beta by the end
of next week! Canon has been receiving *MANY* calls about not having any
drivers, and this demand is what has been instrumental in getting the
development group started. This is a good example of what can happen *IF* we
all take a concerted position to get hardware manufactures to conform to what
we want, not what MickySoft is spoon-feeding them!!
If you have a Canon BJ* printer and would like to get on the list for a beta
driver, call Elliot Cohen at (714) 438-3346. He is the manager of Tec. Support

System Sounds from Boca Soft
Dan Grostick
Boca Raton, Florida
Newspaper article contributed by subscriber
In the Ft. Lauderdale Sun Sentinel of March 1, 1993, a new product from a small
firm in Boca Raton called "System Sounds for OS/2" was in the spotlight. Two
fellows named Bill Steward and Zan Oliphant left IBM to start their own company
called BocaSoft. The program allows folks to link an unlimited assortment of
sounds with their software.
For instance, how would you like the sound of a creaking door every time you
open a certain file? Or dragging an icon across the screen to the melody of
machine gun fire? Or an error with a scream of a black belt?
But there's more than frivolous use for this software. If a person is blind,
they can associate a sound with any key on the keyboard.
The software programmers indicated that OS/2 offers a better path for certain
types of multimedia applications for the future. They also feel IBM has yet to
exploit OS/2's superior multimedia potential. The authors state that if they
were writing software for Apple, we'd be nobody. They prefer OS/2 for
multimedia.

I received the following reply from Joel Dreyfuss, a senior editor at PC
Magazine. Please keep your letters, email, and faxes coming. They do seem to
have an impact. [Also the rebellion against the awful ISO DOS fonts (SP) is
picking up steam. There is hope for a fix before the final release.]
"Also, as a result of your letter, we've decided that we will ask vendors
about OS/2 compatibility and support for all Windows and DOS apps from now on
and list their position in the features table. (We suspect this will also
encourage more vendors to support use of their product in the OS/2
environment.)" [i.e. they'll confirm that a DOS or Windows app runs under
OS/2]

I had a dream:
Monday, 10 AM -- Chicago, Illinois -- Start-up software developer Cuisine
International announced CUISINENET, the first inter- networking program to
seamlessly integrate word and food processing. Called a breakthrough for small
restaurants and snack bars, Cuisine Chairman Mark Meigs confidently predicted
sales of thousands of copies with shipments soon to begin.
Monday, 4 PM -- New York -- Cuisine International shares closed sharply higher
on announcement of new CUISINENET product.
Tuesday, 9 AM -- Redmond, Washington -- Microsoft Chairman William H. Gates,
III announced that Microsoft Food for Windows would soon enter beta testing.
Gates described the product as the first of a projected family of products to
include Food for Windows, designed for small commercial dining establishments;
Personal Food for Windows, designed for home kitchens; Portable Food for
Windows, designed for lunchboxes; and, of course, at the high end, Food for
Windows NC (Nouvelle Cuisine) designed for large institutional dining rooms.
Asked by a reporter about CUISINENET, Gates said that he had never heard of the
product, but was not surprised by it, because the software business is highly
competitive, and Microsoft has to compete on the merits with many strong
competitors, as the FTC had recently concluded.
Tuesday, 3 PM -- Chicago, Illinois -- An angry Mark Meigs showed reporters a
copy of the nondisclosure agreement signed by Bill Gates, under which Cuisine
International had informed Microsoft a year earlier about plans for CUISINENET.
Meigs said that in hindsight, he should never have signed the agreement, as the
only thing he learned from Microsoft was that Gates was considering making
changing to Windows.
Wednesday, 9 AM -- Redmond, Washington -- Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates
announced that Microsoft would soon publish specifications for the Windows Open
Kitchen Architecture (WOKA), a series of design specifications to permit
manufacturers of toasters, ranges, and other kitchen appliances to integrate
their products into the forthcoming Microsoft Food for Windows line. Asked
about reports of a nondisclosure agreement with Cuisine International for a
similar product, Gates said that the other product was really at most a niche
product, and would probably have less functionality than the food-related
features that Microsoft would be building into the new Unsaturated FAT File
System which would be part of DOS 7.0. Gates said that he doubted there would
be much interest in a dead-end solution that would not be able to keep up to
date with advances in WOKA. Gates added that over 11,000 manufacturers of
kitchen appliances were already having serious discussions with Microsoft about
WOKA, and that he expected almost all important eaters of food to standardize
on the WOKA environment.
Wednesday, 10 AM -- Redmond, Washington -- Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates
announced that he would be giving the keynote speech at the American Bakers
annual convention on "Nutrition at Your Fingertips." Gates played down
speculation that he would use the Bakers convention to introduce Microsoft Food
for Windows, saying only that alpha testing was proceeding ahead of schedule,
and the product would be shipped when it was ready.
Wednesday, 11 AM -- Redmond, Washington -- Microsoft Corporation announced that
its Chairman, William H. Gates, III, had made a donation of over $250 of
personal funds to the Cordon Bleu to begin an endowment fund for the Bill Gates
Professorship of Advanced Cookery. The famous French cooking school confirmed
that it had agreed to be a beta site for the much discussed Food for Windows
application sweet.
Thursday, 9 AM -- New York -- PCWeek Magazine reported in a copyrighted story
that it had obtained a copy of correspondence from Microsoft to Cuisine
International, demanding that the small developer of kitchen software cease
using the Cuisine name, as it infringes on the trademark for Microsoft Food for
Windows NC. Microsoft added that Chairman Mark Meigs would also have to change
his own name as Mark infringed a copyright on the Windows Edit menu, Meigs
infringed the trademark on Meigs Field in Microsoft Flight Simulator, and
Chairman infringed the trademark on Bill Gates's title which he had acquired
with personal funds from Mao's estate. Also, Microsoft advised that while the
company did not actually have to move out of Chicago, use of the name on press
releases infringed a trademark on Windows 4.0.
Thursday, 4 PM -- New York -- Cuisine International stock closed at 0-bid,
1/16-asked.
Friday, 9 AM -- ? -- An anonymous spokesman for an unnamed Midwestern software
developer announced the discontinuation of operations. Undescribed legal
problems were cited as the reason. Others speculated that a failure to
appreciate the competitive nature of the software business may have led to the
company's sudden collapse.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.12.1. BBS Introduction ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Okay, I ran out of time this month, so most of the BBS's listed were also
listed in February. But I've added a few if you can spot them. This listing is
for the BBS junkie in you who needs to have a phone bill treat once in a while
<G>. Or bored to death while you're travelling. Our listing is based on a
rather extensive listing put together by Dave Fisher of OS/2 type Bulletin
Boards. Space limits this month prevent us from listing all the details he has
for each BBS, but we've tried to include a couple from every state in the US
(Notice and hint to you sysops...not all states are represented.) and a few
foreign countries, too.
Dave Fisher's list is a compilation of OS/2 BBS's across the world. If you
wish to make an addition or correction to his list, he's asked that you please
netmail your BBS information to Dave Fisher at LiveNet, 1:170/110@fidonet.org.
For the newsletter, I've sorted the in alphabetical order by Country for the
international ones and by state for those in the USA to make it easier to find
one close to you. His file has other details related to these BBS's but we
didn't have room, okay? The file we're using showed that the last update was
September 7, 1992.
Does anyone know if this list of his is being kept up to date? I hope to
expand it more next month; ran out of time. But I've got his list in a
database right now and I'll be able to code that list a lot easier next month.
And I'm still waiting to hear from folks who consider their BBS a decent local
source for OS/2, whether it be files, message areas or actually run under OS/2.
Hope you find this inclusion useful. Large phone bills are not my fault...!!!
