- "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!
