"John C. Dvorak's Favorite Discs: The best of the best ... Hobbes OS/2 CDROM ... Lots of nifty utilities, fonts, and other goodies on this CD." -John Dvorak, *PC Computing*, Oct. 93. From the Hobbes internet site, here is a disc full of Ready-to-Run OS/2 applications. Due to OS/2's heightened level of customer interest, the Hobbes archive has grown quickly in recent months to over 1.2 gigabytes. This has forced the previous Hobbes product to separate into two products. The first product (Hobbes Archived) contains the most recent programs from the Hobbes OS/2 archive in compressed format. This disc, Ready-to-Run Hobbes, allows you to use your CDROM drive as a way to save precious hard drive space. Now you can sample very large programs directly from the CDROM. You can upgrade your system easily with the OS/2 2.1 for Windows Service Pack that's ready to run off the CDROM. The entire GNU utility suite (60+ programs) will solve a lot of common problems. Typeset your documents with Tex which includes installed fonts. AVI movies, sound clips and bitmaps are simply fun. Preview and debug postscript output with Ghostscript 2.6.1. Edit using the world's best programmer's editor, Emacs 19.25. Compile using two world class C and C++ compilers, EMX08h and GCC 2.5.8. And there's more. We uncompressed all these applications and you get them installed and ready to run. Sample the best of OS/2 shareware and freeware with few changes to your hard disk setup. We unconditionally guarantee the Ready-to-Run Hobbes disc. You'll wonder how you ever lived without it!
