Note: Our May 2000 meeting will be a re-do for the Serenity Systems product line
demo. It was a last minute no-go due to a canceled airline flight. A formal annoucment
will follow in the coming weeks. But since we a had few people want to travel a
few hundred miles for this one, we want to give you enough opportunity to mark your
calendar. The May meeting is set for the 11th at our usual time and place.
"Theseus (pronounced Thee'-see-us) was one of the Attic heroes of Greek
Mythology. According to legend, he was one of the young Greeks chosen to be sacrificed
to the Minotaur, the mythical half man/half bull confined in the Labyrinth. Instead,
Theseus killed the Minotaur. One of the local girls, Ariadne, gave him a thread,
which he used to mark his trail into and out of the Labyrinth. He then married Ariadne
and they sailed off into the sunset.
The analogy of the labyrinth is appropriate, because assigning memory to a user
in the OS/2 environment is quite complex, much like the Labyrinth of old. However,
this program knows its way through the labyrinth and can assist you in determining
the amount of memory used by your programs."
-- From THESEUS.INF
o Greg Shah will leak some of his memory about Theseus... how can you use it to
debug memory related problems o Brian Hedges will have a Top 10 list o News and
tidbits
This is coming up 1 week from tomorrow! See you there! (The web site has directions.)

Saturday, Apr. 15, at 9:00 AM PDT, at Eastside Christian Schools (Heritage Campus)
in Anaheim at 2528 W. La Palma Ave.
He's B-A-A-A-C-K! And Wait 'Til You See The Warp Client That He Has For Us!
Kim Cheung, the OS/2 magician of a thousand faces, is back to wow SCOUG members
once again. Kim, known for his telephony magic and his brilliant WiseManager http://www.serenity-systems.com line
of products, has promised us some surprises. As we all know, Kim never disappoints.
This meeting will be no different, as Kim has promised a look at what a new remote-boot
Warp client might look like. This client was created by Serenity Systems based on
Warp Server for e-Business. He's also alluded to a few other major, first-time looks
at some additional client environments that can be remote-booted using WiseManager,
but that's all we can say for now.
After the presentation, we'll have Q&A to help you with your questions ~problems,
and then a raffle. After a short break, then the Saturday SIG meetings:
General Interest Group: This month, we will go step-by-step through adding the
Maintenance Partition that was started at last month's meeting. Also, Terry Warren
has indicated that he will demonstrate the latest beta of NetZero for OS/2.
Programming SIG: Will continue its' discussion of a SIG project. We'll review
the list of candidates and the tools necessary for the project.
Monday, April 17, 7 PM PDT meetings at Eastside Christian Schools (Heritage Campus):

The focus is on macros and Mesa 2 starting this month at SCOUG's Sundial SIG.
Rollin White will be on hand to assist SIG leader Sheridan George with the interactive
presentations. You'll find a handout for the March 23rd meeting on the SCOUG website

http://www.scoug.com/presentations/mesamacro1.html
At the Sundial SIG you'll learn how easy it is to automate your spreadsheets
when you use Mesa 2 macro functions. You'll start with the basics and work up.
During the workshop portion of the meeting you'll get to write new custom macros
from scratch - hopefully you'll leave with the ones you need completely finished
and ready-to-use! Create a daily management report of yesterday's sales, complete
with text and color graphs. Email yourself a daily bar chart of how your stocks
are performing so you can review them while you're on the road. Have an hourly pie
chart always waiting for you showing your web site's hits and the most-visited pages.

The OS/2 SIG of the Philadelphia Area Computer Society invites all interested
computer users to attend the March meeting:
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22, 2000 7:00 - 10:00 PM The Episcopal Academy, 376 N. Latches
Lane, Merion, PA
*** MARCH FEATURE PRESENTATION *** -- HOW TO USE PARTITION MAGIC 5.0 WITH OS/2
--
Are you tired of reinstalling all your operating systems when you get a new larger
hard drive?
If XCOPY *.* /H /O /T /S /E /R /V is too time-consuming these days, then come
to the Philadelphia OS/2 SIG meeting on March 22nd.
SIG member (and OS/2 guru) Jim Nuytens will conduct a presentation and demo of
Partition Magic 5.0. Despite all the (mis)information which has been circulated
around the OS/2 newsgroups, PM 5.0 does work with OS/2. Jim will demonstrate how
to copy, move and resize your partitions and clone whole drives.
If time permits, Jim will also discuss 1 or 2 other options for copying/cloning
whole drives, like Drive Copy and Norton Ghost.
If you need a hard drive cloned, bring them both along. Jim will use two of his
own drives to do his demo. He has also offered to get your new drive cloned for
you in minutes instead of hours.
A brief descriptive announcement will also be made in regard to a Build-a-Thon
II (build-your-own) group project which is being planned for the May and June meetings
during this coming spring.
Other agenda items include SIG business matters, OS/2 news, new software releases,
Q&A session, software raffle, etc. An OS/2 system will be on hand for demos
of OS/2, Java, Internet, etc., as time permits. Free light refreshments will also
be available.
Mark the date and time: Wednesday, March 22nd, at 7:00pm, to hear about all the
new and exciting developments, or if you have questions about OS/2 Warp and Java.
OS/2 SIG meetings are open and free for OS/2 users, their guests and all others
interested in learning about OS/2 and associated Java technology.
