"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!
