The OS/2 SIG of the Philadelphia Area Computer Society invites
all interested computer users to attend the November meeting:
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 17 1999 7:00 - 10:00 PM
The Episcopal Academy, 376 N. Latches Lane, Merion, PA
*** NOVEMBER FEATURE PRESENTATION ***
-- ProNews/2 News Reader --
The main feature planned for the November meeting will be a presentation &
demonstration of the full-featured ProNews/2 OS/2 news reader program by SIG member
Jim Nuytens.
Pronews/2 is a top rated OS/2 News client with many features that are lacking
in other OS/2 news readers. Many users regard this unique newsreader as the best
available, bar none. Key features include a process manager that gives the user
complete control over queued tasks (such as downloading articles), true message
threading and fully customizable toolbars. It also includes an advanced filtering
and thread-watching mechanism that can work on a group-by-group or global basis.
The user interface is based on the familiar and intuitive notebook format, with
tabs for quickly accessing subscribed groups, new groups, all groups, queued processes
and connections.
The most recent version, PN2_15B1.ZIP, can be downloaded from hobbes, OS/2 Supersite,
BMT Micro and other OS/2 websites. OS/2 e-Zine! published a very favorable review
of ProNews/
last year. Read it at http://www.os2ezine.com/v3n01/pn2.htm
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, November 17th, 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.

I will mainly concentrate on Lotus Word Pro and Lotus Organizer as they are the
two most requested applications for demonstration. If time permits, we'll touch
a bit on Freelance.
My normal routine for demonstrating Word Pro is do a résumé.
I can demonstrate close to 90% of features with this process. Some people may
ask how can you put frames and collumns in a résumé? Well, come and
find out! This will be a résumé lesson as much as a Word Pro overview.
So if your résumé needs work, bring it in it's native format, as well
as in ASCII format, and well use it as an example.
With regards to Lotus Organizer:
My hopes are to:
See you there!
Date: Tuesday, November 9, 1999
Time: 6:30 p.m.
Place: The Long Island Trading Center, 2 Jericho Plaza in Jericho, NY. Take the
Long Island Expressway (LIE, I-495) to exit 40.
From the westbound LIE get off at exit 40 East. At the next traffic light bear
right onto Jericho Turnpike heading east and turn right into the first driveway.
From the eastbound LIE get off at exit 40 West, it's easier than exit 40 East.
Follow the signs to get onto Jericho Turnpike heading east, you'll end up going
underneath the LIE. After going underneath the LIE, turn right into the first driveway.
The meeting room is on the second floor in the IBM wing.
Speaker: Henry Ferlauto, President of the New York OS/2 Users Group. Henry will
give a demonstration of Lotus Smartsuite for OS/2 Warp 4.
As usual, our meetings start with news and views on the latest of OS/2. If you
have any OS/2 news bring it with you to the meeting. All are welcome!

The OS/2 SIG of the Philadelphia Area Computer Society invites all interested
computer users to attend the October meeting:
The main feature planned for the October meeting will be a presentation/demo
of Remote Boot of OS/2 Warp 4 by SIG member Vadim Kavalerov, making use of IBM's
RIPL for this purpose. Comparisons of RIPL (Remote Initial Program Load) with WSOD
(Workspace on Demand) will also be discussed.
Dozens of RIPL requesters can share a single hard drive installed on a server.
Switched fast ethernet networks are in general use which provide wide bandwidth
to make RIPL practical. But the main advantage is simplified system administration.
Applications, user data, or system software updates need be installed only once
to be instantly available to the whole workgroup, on every desktop. An additional
advantage of RIPL systems is high reliability.
We'll be showing how to configure a basic Warp 4 RIPL requester with Warp Server
for e-business. A few other ways to manage RIPL clients with IBM and ISV products
will also be discussed. All it takes to boot Warp 4 is to install a supported network
card.
SIG member Vadim Kavalerov is an investment analyst working for a major brokerage
firm in the Philadelphia area. He holds a PhD in physics and has been working in
research labs, and has taught university students since 1984.
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, October 27th, 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

I've asked Roger Root to share with us his impressions of his recent trip to
Atlanta for "Warpstock '99".
I'm about to leave for Florida for about a week and I haven't heard back from
Roger, but he's pretty conscientious about attending the meetings. I'm driving back
on the 26th, so if I'm not there to start the meeting... you know what to do.
The Mid-Atlantic OS/2 and Java User Group is back after a summer hiatus. Randall
Sandoval will be presenting XFree86/2, SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) and his video
camera using all native OS/2 applications.
Come on out and meet the crowd. Also, we unearthed a few OS/2 demo. diskettes
and we'll be handing them out.
The meeting as always is in the Auditorium at the Virginia Beach Main Public
Library, across from Loehmann's Plaza. Saturday's meeting starts at 10:00 A.M.,
