The promotion and support of OS/2 is important to us at 
Pillarsoft. Our primary goal as a company naturally would 
be to receive a financial return on our investment of time 
and resources but we also realize the importance of our
involvement in the community of people that make up the 
OS/2 user base.

To show our support in a way that we believe is helpful to 
the OS/2 community at large, we will be offering what we 
hope will be an attractive incentive to all users of OS/2 
to take an active part in it's destiny.

The talk of a new client has been bandied about lately and 
personally, I believe it will become a reality. I also 
believe that one thing we can do as a community is to 
bolster the support system for new and existing users as 
well as support for those who may be returning.

My personal involvement with VOICE has led me to believe 
that it can be a very important cog in that wheel. VOICE, 
in cooperation with Dirk Terrell/Falcon Networking is 
attempting the resurrection and extending the usefulness of 
what was once known as the Warp Pharmacy. VOICE has also 
been active in setting software authors up online for Q&A 
sessions with OS/2 users and many other projects helpful 
toward the promotion and support of OS/2. It is a great
organization that I believe will become stronger with your 
participation.

Rather than stand at the pulpit and preach the merits of 
active membership, we will attempt to do something of 
substance for anyone willing to become an active part of 
VOICE. For the month of June, we will be giving a free 
registration of DeskTop Backup to every new or renewing 
member of VOICE.

There are two prerequisites:

1) You must join or renew your VOICE membership between the 
dates of June 1,1999 and June 30, 1999. VOICE membership is 
$25 at BMT Micro http://www.bmtmicro.com

2) Attend a scheduled VOICE virtual meeting on IRC and 
notify any VOICE officer that you are there and have joined 
or have renewed your membership during the month of June.

The secretary of VOICE will notify us when memberships and 
renewals are officially received and any officer can verify 
attendance at a meeting. The registrations will be sent out 
after both of these prerequisites are met.

My personal reason for the meeting attendance prerequisite 
is that I would like to see "active" members become part of 
a larger solution as opposed to gaining "passive" members 
that support with dues but can't contribute the time.
Membership dues are nice but they cannot compare to the 
value of your input and help. It is my hope that many of 
you will see a need that you may be able to fill or have 
ideas that can further the cause of VOICE and it's focus on 
the OS/2 family of operating systems.

We hope you will take advantage of this offer.

About DeskTop Backup
*********************

DeskTop Backup is a simple tool that works with InfoZip's 
Zip (v2.2) and Unzipsfx to build a self-extracting zipfile 
containing your essential desktop and other configuration 
information. There is no magic or slight of hand concerning 
its use and one can do the same work from the command line 
along with the InfoZip utilities. DeskTop Backup merely 
makes it a bit more automated and will also help you decide 
what files may be important to archive.

DTB will also help find and list important files on your 
drive so you are able to do a more detailed backup than the 
standard OS/2 system desktop archive will give you.

You may add to the "suggested" file listings or do a 
separate setup of your own important files and directories 
as well. Such as? Well... maybe you want to do an archive 
of business correspondence or maybe back up a development 
directory every so often. You can do them on demand or 
automatically as well.

Saving several distinctive backup setups to be performed on 
demand or automatically is easily handled by DTB. You can 
also scan the chosen drive for existence of suggested files 
whenever you feel an update of the information is needed. 
(new files important to your desktop may have appeared 
since the last setup)

As usual, we try to stay away from cryptic scripts etc so 
"AutoStart" backups are simple point and click setups that 
update your situation automatically with just a mouse 
click. You can also save multiple archive setups and recall 
them at will as well as setting the scheduler to run 
automatically at startup to archive by "days between 
archives" or "day of the week".
