ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Welcome Team OS/2 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Welcome Team OS/2 And OS/2 Users.
Hi all Team OS/2 and OS/2 users, hope its going as great for you as it is for
me, and that this finds you all in very good health. <ggggggg> SMILE......
I am very happy about this months Team Brief, for this is the one that has more
updates, more art, more tips, and ajustments made to the Team Brief and how it
is put together then compiled. I must thank all who had input.....thank you.
This is to IBM Team, and those in Team OS/2, and the users of OS/2.........
Success in any written news is from its readers and those who contribute to it.
At the block this month is many new and exciting things, places to see, and
things to do...........maybe things to do.
PC Magazine is having more for those who run OS/2, this is one of two you may
want to subscribe to. And then write, letting them know how you enjoy their
magazine. They are having more reviews on OS/2 Warp and ISV programs then other
main stream computer magazine. to my knowledge anyway. If we support the effort
on thier part, and we all join, in getting PC Magazine, and let them know why
we chose PC, because of the OS/2 articles, they will most likely keep it going.
If they see the interest for it. Later I will have a review on a new magazine
that has come to my attention. PC was full of good information with first looks
at some OS/2 utilities, having reviews of them and Warp Voice........good job
PC, keep it up.......
The new comer is extended attributes...............and it is allllll OS/2
!!!!!!! It is in my book TOP MOST TODAY for the OS/2 reader in the OS/2
comunity, really ! But... the review of that later on in the Brief.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. What's New Or Up And Running ! ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
What's New And News For Review.
First On List.
By far the best news that I have recieved in a long time is that of extended
attributes. This OS/2 magazine is put out by the Phoenix OS/2 Society in
Arizona. This makes it a OS/2 community magazine. And when you first open it to
read it you will see what I mean. From the reviews to the interviews it gives
you what you want, OS/2.
In this first issue that I reviewed. The interview with Donn Atkins and Esther
Schindler was captivating. Donn Atkins is the new vice president of marketing
for IBM PSP. Joe Stunkard (PSP, Personal Software Products) and John Albee
(IBM's PSP too) were also part of the interview. Esther did a fine job asking
what IBM's plans for OS/2 are for now, and the future. From this interview, it
seems that the future for all systems, and applications for those systems, are
going to have to be JAVA savvy.
IBM thinks that the future for all will be from NETWARE APPs. We will all be
online to use applications from systems we hookup to on a network. Productivity
will be from these things, and the need for buying a $199 to $450 dollor
program will be gone. Just call a site and write that letter, do your banking,
purchase items, all because of JAVA being cross platform, pervasively available
at it. IBM thinks that its not about what system you have, but does the system
support the up and coming JAVA revolution. Right now classes and training in
this new development arena are being put on by IBM and othere's. I myself am
into programming (rexx, net rexx) and also have the JAVA installed on my
computer. Just have not as yet gotten into it yet. I belive in the home system
still, and the small business users too. About the best news from this
interview was IBM said the next version of Warp will be released in 1998. Now I
am excited, as long as it's not JAVA. Esther ask about IBM's support of Team
OS/2 Donn's answer, that they continue to support it. However the example Donn
gave was shot down by Esther. Donn used the David Barnes Connect the World.
Esther told him to read the report before using it as an example. It seems
there were only two people that acted as IBM liasons to 4 Team OS/2 until
Comdex last year. I belive they are talking about our Mother ( Janet Gobille )
and Sister ( Anita Venable ) both wonderful people. They both were very
dedicated to the Team, even with forever being under budgeted. It seems Wally
Casey pomised full support to Esther toward Team OS/2 . He signed up at the
booth for the Team, then cut the budget out for it at IBM ( thanks Wally ).
Like Esther, I hear that Mom and Sis have been reassigned elsewhere in IBM.
Esther then tell Donn about the three contractors working on Team OS/2 . All
of them quite because of IBM's lack of support. She highlights how the three
belived in Team OS/2, but they belived IBM didn't.
The interview gets better, in that Donn agrees that more can be done and is
being done, from a type of advocacy council, ( something Esther and OS/2
Society with Indelible Blue) are having open dilog with IBM. Donn further
states keeping up dialogs between IBM and Team OS/2.With that the conversation
or interview takes up a more positive flow.
The positives were view points, the plan to continue OS/2 development, and a
dialog that will keep in force. Thats why the interest for the March 14-16
conference, called The OS/2 Marketplace, Getting Down To Business. At this
meeting, IBM will be monitoring the interest by ISV's and OS/2 users. Is it
important that OS/2 run dos/windows programs well ? Yes.. But it is also
important that we buy and use OS/2 applications. If you can get a copy of this
new magazine, do it, if you want to know how, here it is.
Phoenix OS/2 Society, Inc. 5515 N 7th St, Ste 5-133, Phoenix AZ 85014-2585 The
cost for a year membership with subscription is $30.00, for a membership only,
$10.00. This Society is also known as POSSI. It does things for OS/2 and the
OS/2 community. Support to them, is helping all Team OS/2 members everywhere.
Up In Review First
SpellGuard 1.2, BMT Micro
The problem with some parts of any system, whether OS/2 or another, is having a
spell checker for all your applications. Most e-mail clients and clip boards,
and other small text editors do not. When my battiers are good, I use a small
Word Master from Franklin. Prodigy's mail has a spell check, but the bbs on
mine does not ( I didn't get the extra cost tools ). Having this feature of
spell check is one that many of us have come to expect and grown accustomed to
having.
Well according to BMT Micro. SpellGuard 1.2 with its 77,000 word dictionary,
can be used as a universal spell-checker. They say it has personality. This
because you can have it flash colors on the screen or play wav files, when a
word is miss spelled. I would say it's a checker with an attitude. It can even
beep. As yet I have not tried this spell checker program out myself. This is a
side review, using my epm6.3 and its spell checker.........<grin>
PMview, a very good image viewer ?
I downloaded the PMview93.zip from BMTmicro. This is a full working version of
the image view and utility program. The cost to register the working copy is
$42.00 One can use it for free for 31 days, with all of its functions. The cost
of registration is a life time one. You can download new versions and the
registraton number they give you will work for those too.
The program is very well done. Easy to learn, I think in about 10min I was
working this program like a pro. It comes with a readme that gives good
instructons on installing and other information, such as a network install, and
scanner use. This program also has the F1 help key function. I tried this in
different spots in the program. The help that surfaced was always in sink with
the function I was performing. It is in the inf foramt so reading it is easy,
and you can search for key words or functions.
The power and quality of this image viewer is outstanding. The number of file
formats that it opens and converts, is outstanding. I belive the count was 37
formats. You can view the Kodak Photo format, but you can not save this format.
This would be a infringement on the rights of Kodak. Some of my work on this
months Team Brief was done using this new viewer. It made my work easier and
opened up new options for me. It looks like I'll be sending in my
$42.00.................................
If You Have A Program Review, Or Request, Let Me Know.....

Thank You Juanita And BesTeam, From All Of Us..............
And For More Web Site Stuff, Kesselman Page.......!!!!!
The following is from Joseph Kesselman. It is a rexx program for the web. And
for those who have not visited Joe's page, he would welcome you to drop by. I
did drop by for a look around. I found it most pleasing, and I was suprised,
enjoyable !
Here's the address: http://pages.prodigy.com/keshlam/
The following is the rexx program for the web:
/* WEBSORT.CMD: REXX command file to resort the Web Explorer
Quicklist by the names assigned to quicklist entries.
The Quicklist is stored in EXPLORE.INI, in the %ETC%
directory. This file contains a great deal of other
WebEx configuration information, and so manual editing
of it, while possible, is not generally recommended. But
since it's kept in plaintext form, it's very easily
amenable to manipulation via REXX... and hopefully the
REXX program will never make a mistake and damage the file.
This is not the most elegant solution possible -- but it
works, and took longer to "prettify" than to write. Feel
free to improve upon it. For example, you might want to
automatically ignore words such as "The" when sorting
the list (by maintaining another array containing a
simplified version of the name and sorting on that,
perhaps). Or you might want to add reverse-sort, or
sort-by-URL.

Thank you Joeseph, for the contribution on this months Team Brief
Still Going, but last time.........
No returns in from the letter writing as yet, one more time.................
This portion of the Brief is included from last month, so keep the letters
going. So the call is out to all you still who belong to Team OS/2, WE NEED TO
WRITE LETTERS TO CREATIVE LABS, the address is Creative Labs, Inc 1901 McCarthy
Boulevard Milpitas, CA 95035.
Just thought I would throw in the Team OS/2 BMP !
Are you planning something ? Do you have a tip ? Maybe a story ? Some code to
share ? If you do........please send it in to me at SVZY95A@PRODIGY.COM and at
some point I'll share it in the Team Brief. And if this keeps growing, that may
take in a lot of people. Thank
you......................................................

This month we have the contributed Rexx Kill program from Tomas Dorney, sent in
by Mickey Foster last month. Since I killed it in compiling, let me do it again
right. Here it is, and when writting it or copying it make sure you start with
the comment line first, this is a Rexx must.

/* This Is End Of Rexx Kill Command From Mickey/Tomas */
The rexx command, when written will have to be saved as a cmd extension. It was
sent in with the name " kill.cmd ", and is like the destroy or crush commands.
Use this at your own risk, and have fun with it too. The other commands work
well. And as I said, if you have a skill in rexx, this will be a piece of cake.
Thank you Mickey and Tomas for your contribution to the Team Brief.
OS/2 Warp 4 Tuning...? YES!!! Tune-Up Tip I
For the WarpCenter, if you want Enhanced Kill features available like are in
some add-in products, such as WatchCat, and Ctrl-del Commander. Add the
following line of text to your CONFIG.SYS.
SET KILLFEATUREENABLED=ON
Once you have added this, shutdown and rebooted, you then can access the new
feature simply by holding down your CTRL key and clicking your LMB (LEFT MOUSE
BUTTON) on the Window List icon of the Warp Center. You will be presented with
a list of all running processes. Click on one with your LMB and you will be
asked if you wish to KILL the task. Answering YES will terminate the task.
Pat Haller
Time To Be Spruced-Up, a better look tune-up !
Look at your top right corner of your screen.(thats where mine is) You see the
clock or calander running at the end of the warp center ? If its not pretty,
then here is a way to make it that way. I just discovered all the options with
the clock such as, changing it to timer, date, and time again. Now I have it
looking better too....................................................
If you are using the WarpCenter, you can change the look of the WarpCenter
Clock by adding the following line of text to your CONFIG.SYS, and rebooting.
SET SCUSEPRETTYCLOCK=ON
This will be a nice feature to enjoy, it makes it easier to see for me. This to
was one sent by Pat Haller Thank you from all of us !!!!!!
Another tip that is being put in again is Bill Barths Win-OS2 tip. The
compiling killed his txt too. A rexx program that I have written has cut down a
20 to 30 minute cut, add, import writing time down to 1min. I wrote it and it
works great. It has helped me take a formatted txt and put it into a list
format for compiling. So with this new tool for me, going back is easy now.
Thank you Bill for your tip, and sorry I killed it the first time, here it is
again.
The process to use the "encoded file" feature for
DOS/win session settings, is as follows:
a) Right-click anyplace on desktop to raise the desktop menu,
b) Right click on SYSTEM SETUP to open that window,
c) right click on WINOS2 SETUP object icon for its menu,
d) click PROPERTIES (or SETTINGS in v3) for notebook.
e) Click on WINOS2 SETTINGS button
f) in dailog box click on radio button ALL DOS AND WINOS2
g) then OK

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Closing Until Next Time ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Closing Is Hard To Do !
This was a lot of work and fun this month. However, I look forward to doing it
again already. With the information coming in at the end of this month, it
looks like we will have a lot to talk about in the next Team Brief . I would
like to put in some last minute information that was recieved after I finished
the brief.
This is from Mary Moskowitz, and David Moskowitz. They have no update as to
when the new book OS/2 Warp 4 Unleashed will be finished and released. I am
to contact David on this matter later. I guess all news can't be good news.
Well still, with the new extended attributes magazine (new to me) out, I am
going to enjoy a new source for OS/2 and Team OS/2 information. This is
something we all should support. Remember, if you can not support with a
subscription, you can still join by only paying $10.00. Otherwise the cost is
$30.00 annual/per year. The cost will be slightly higher out of the states.
Canada Mexico $37.00, International $45.00 suface $55.00 air. I would like to
see the circulation climb for this magazine!
Well heres wishing all of you the best tell next
time...............................
GO TEAM,,,,GO...
