CON1296.ZIP contains the OS/2 CONNECT Newsletter for December 1996 in
INF file format suitable for use with the standard OS/2 "View" utility
program (VIEW.EXE). Requires OS/2 2.x or higher.
NOTE: Windows users can now view INF files using the new
INF Viewer from SingaLab Pte. Ltd. of Singapore. Patterned
after the OS/2 VIEW facility, the Windows version provides the
same functionality. The utility can be freely obtained from a
variety of sources:
* Look for WIN_INF.ZIP on most computer networks and bulletin
boards.
* A copy of the product is available in IBM's Hyperwise
(see LIBIPFX.EXE).
* Use the version of the product accompanying "Just Add OS/2
Warp" (see VIEW.EXE).
Also, IBM PC DOS 7 users can view it under DOS (without pictures)
using the VIEW.EXE supplied with that OS.
In addition to the main INF file, the zip file includes the file,
FILE_ID.DIZ, which is used by BBS Sysops to describe the newsletter.
OS/2 CONNECT is THE authoritative source for contact information
in the universe of IBM's OS/2 32-bit operating system.

Windows Program Manager or by establishing a separate icon.
