from the latest Microsoft Oz Sales Partners:
Windows95: four reasons that count:
The latest versions of of best selling apps are writen for 32-bit Windows
(source: Merisel's Hot List)
An interesting source, considering Merisel went out of business *precisely*
as a result of Win95 failing to sell through the reseller channels.
It's probably not a well know fact, BUT Merisel had nearly $A500,000 worth
of Win95 returned for credit from retail, and that was the last straw that
broke it's back. Merisel's Hot List has not been published for couple of
years.

Will Z. & OS/2 in PCWeek
Stanley Sidlov 75056,3347
Simply unable after almost two years to shake his former association with
OS/2, Will's name appeared in a column in this week's PCWeek. (
http://www8.zdnet.com/pcweek/opinion/0818/18mind.html ) The Louderback
byline graces a 'fantasy' calendar of Bill Gates' upcoming schedule where in
September '98 (perhaps even on the 11th anniversary of OS/2's GA) Will and
'the last three TeamOS/2 members not switched to NT' feed the last copy of
OS/2 to a nurse shark with Bill looking on.
Will, you have to be more public about your change of opinion!
====================================================================
********************************************************************
regarding Alley Cat's report in a recent issue:
> IBM had a large stand at the InterNet World Australia.
I take exception to the "no OS/2" statement. Even 'though OS/2 wasn't
featured as such (neither was Windows - we were emphasising e-Business
SOLUTIONS), I was on the IBM stand from beginning to end (except when I
snuck out for a cigarette) and was demonstrating VisualAge for Java on an
OS/2 machine. I got a lot of positive feedback, particularly from University
students who were blown away by VisualAge for Java, especially the $49
Academic price. I also had at least half a dozen people during the show
asking about OS/2. In addition, I gave four "Java Introduction"
presentations on the IBM stage where I not only gave a Java intro for
non-techos but also constructed an application in front of the audience's
very eyes - got lots of applause for this. During the show, I mentioned I
was using OS/2.
Regards,
Ian Morphett
Desktop Software Strategist
IBM Australia
(but this just proves how dangerous cigarettes are... )
If this was anyone else from IBM, I doubt I would have believed them, but
Ian, despite being an IBM employee, does use OS/2, and is of great
assistance to Sydney SIG as well as other OS/2 venues.
our applogies to Ian.

Warpstock '97 Update
Larry Finkelstein 76702,1354
Warpstock '97 is only eight weeks away and we have some exciting events
lined up. The conference will take place October 25 and 26 of this year
outside of Los Angeles at the AQMD in Diamond Bar, California. Visit
http://www.warpstock.org for full details of this OS/2 community event.
With so little time left before the conference, weekly updates will be
posted on several sites as well as full details on the Warpstock home page,
http://www.warpstock.org.
Here's a summary to bring you up to date.
Discounted travel arrangements can be made through Ship and Shore Travel
Agency. The Clarion Hotel in Diamond Bar, CA, is also offering a discount to
Warpstock attendees. Be sure to make your reservations early. You may also
arrange for childcare during the conference. Details and form available on
homepage.
Discussions with IBM continue as plans are made for the company's
participation.
Stardock Systems announced plans to exhibit and sponsor a games contest. The
games contest will feature B.U.G.S. and Entrepreneur with prizes awarded for
high scores. Brad Wardell of Stardock Systems will present a seminar based
on his "Past, Present and Future OS/2" series. He will also present new
material at Warpstock.
True Spectra announced plans to exhibit at Warpstock. They will be showing
off Photo>Graphics and Photo>Graphics Pro. Special show prices will be
offered. Terry Hamilton will present a seminar on using Photo>Graphics. This
will help the attendee to learn some of the finer points of using
Photo>Graphics.
Michael Kaply, Technical Lead of Netscape Communicator for OS/2, will
present a seminar on Netscape Communicator for OS/2. Mike is an IBM
developer working at Netscape.
Whew, tired yet? Well it's time for some fun.
Hethmon Brothers, developers of Internet software for OS/2, and F/X
Communications, developers of InJoy, will sponsor a Saturday night social
event. Stan Ruffo and Martin Pugh, one of the hottest acts on the national
blues circuit, will perform for an enthusiastic Warpstock crowd on October
25. Stan and Martin's music has been described as blues, but includes
strains of swing, rock & roll, rockabilly, jazz, and Latin. It all adds up
into some fresh and exciting music for OS/2 lovers.
There are several vendors and speakers that have confirmed their
participation. We're working with many others and they will be posted when
confirmed. We still have open topics, so if you're interested in presenting
a particular topic or if there's a topic that you would like to suggest,
contact Kevin Royalty, os2guy@one.net.
We are still in need of volunteers. Warpstock is a 100% volunteer effort.
You may volunteer as much or as little of your time as your schedule allows.
Please check out the volunteer link on the Warpstock homepage and help us
make Warpstock a complete success.
See you at Warpstock,
Warpstock Steering Committee

What's in the Name WorkSpace On-Demand
.. it's more straightforward to explain why IBM has chosen
the name WorkSpace On-Demand for the newest member of its eNetwork
Software family. Actually, WorkSpace On-Demand belongs to the
"On-Demand" branch, which includes the Java-based emulator, IBM Host
On-Demand. The On-Demand initiative comprises technologies and
products that deliver real-time server-based components (e.g. data or
applications) immediately upon client request.

of networked clients by Ed Scannell, August 25, 1997
This piece described WorkSpace On-Demand as an OS/2 implementation
that leverages Java to let administrators push customized desktops
out to any client system on a network.
And in an InfoWorld August 25th editorial, Mike Vizard indicated his
high regard for IBM's latest eNetwork product.
Dow Jones News Service: IBM To Ship WorkSpace On-Demand Software In

This short write-up on the wire service mentioned IBM's promise that
customers who purchase $500,000 or more worth of WorkSpace On-Demand,
OS/2 Warp or OS/2 Warp Server software between Aug. 26 and Nov. 28
are eligible for a pilot implementation of WorkSpace On-Demand
Internetweek (formerly Communications Week): IBM Puts Price On
"Bluebird's" Head by Amy Rogers, August 26, 1997
This article, making liberal use of the Bluebird metaphor, describes
WorkSpace On-Demand as a NOS (network operating system) that will
help OS/2 users move from a client-server computing environment to a
network computing infrastructure supporting 100% Pure Java.
InformationWeek: IBM Readying WorkSpace On-Demand, August 27, 1997
This article called WorkSpace On-Demand IBM's answer to Microsoft's
Zero Administration for Windows (ZAW) initiative.
PC Week On-line: IBM to ship WorkSpace On-Demand for OS/2 Warp Server
by Michael Moeller, August 27, 1997
This electronic article explains WorkSpace On-Demand as bridging "the
gap between users who need only Java-based applications that can run
on IBM's Network Stations and users who need to have all of their
computing resources locally stored."
Reuters, August 26, 1997
This quick blurb mentioned that IBM will conduct a series of
three-day, no-charge WorkSpace On-Demand workshops in major cities
around the world.
The WorkSpace On-Demand announcement also received coverage in
American Banker Magazine, the San Francisco Examiner, and the Ottawa
Citizen.

Question: Will SMP support be available for OS/2 Warp clients?
ML: OS/2 Warp Version 4 can run on a SMP system but it only runs on
one processor. At this time, we do not have plans to create a client
that exploits the power of SMP hardware.
New IBM Website: Daily Grounds
IBM's Java Marketing Team is proud to announce "Daily Grounds - IBM
Views on Java News." This daily commentary, located at
javausers.ihost.com/dailygrounds, shares IBM viewpoints on Java news
and issues.
IBM Expanding Software Choice Audience
On August 26, 1997, all OS/2 Warp 4, OS/2 Warp Server, OS/2 Warp
Server Advanced and WorkSpace On-Demand customers became eligible to
purchase an IBM Software Choice subscription. Prior to the
announcement, this fast path method of new feature and update
distribution was only available to customers who had purchased an
Upgrade Protection Option under an IBM Software Advantage for
Workstations contract or the Strategic Account Offering.

Technical Connection CD Version 2 Keeps Nightmare Scenarios at Bay
In a world that often seems to run according to Murphy's Law (If
something can go wrong, it will.), the Technical Connection CD-ROM
provides quick and easy access to just about all the support
information and fixes anyone would ever need. It's a pretty good
defense against a living nightmare. For a complete listing of its
contents and ordering information, visit the IBM Technical Connection
CD-ROM homepage at http://pscc.dfw.ibm.com/info/techconn.html.
NetFinity Server V4.0 Now Available to All OS/2 Warp Server Customers

CDPLR100.ZIP is a new cd audio player for os/2. This program is shareware
and not crippled in any way. It can be located at http://hobbes.nmsu.edu
under /pub/os2/apps/mmedia/cdplayer
A few of the cd player's features: PM, multi-threaded, volume control,
continuious play till end of cd, auto stop ,seek, scan and track controls.
This cd player will allow you to continue working with your desktop, while
the cd is being read by os/2.
It was written by myself after I purchased warp 4.0 because I thought that
the cd player included needed too much cpu power for what it did.

OS/2 4.1: it's here already, IBM!
4.0 install to get what is now a very stable and powerful, useable
system... and it's a *LOT*!. Thanks God it's a single system (I have
other os/2 systems but this is the only one at warp 4.0 level).
(finally a stable system!, this is what warp 4.0 should have been
with enough testing)
- The latest tcpip fixes (v4rsu stuff)
- Java 1.1.1
- The latest (very good imho) S3 3.03.16 drivers
- 32-bit CHKDSK
- Adobe's OS/2 Acrobat Reader 3.0
- Netscape/2 (july 97 build, with all the bugfixes)
- The IBM plugins for Netscape/2,
- Colin Hildinger's integrated SBINSTALL package with Creative's utils
and latest drivers
- The third-pary fix for the 'image association' bug
this with the late 96 Warp 4.0 build on the CD: buggy code (not only the
number of APARs but the quality of the bugs, like the 'large hard disk
bug'), SLOW, almost not useable Java 1.0.1, no Netscape, etc.
number, as this system level is MUCH better than the nov96 build.
not thinking of new boxes and manuals, just a pressing of a couple thousand
CDs just like all those free demo CDs like "Experience Internet Explorer
4.0" or the AOL software that you get in the mail. (I've heard it costs less
than $5 a pop to press).
Warp 4.0 customers (I'd pay up to $50 to have all this in a single install
to save a lot of time and effort). Also, distributing this to the media
would get some positive comments and "mindshare" on the press. "IBM releases
OS/2 4.1: bugfixes and a faster Java implementation". Just think all the
media coverage M$ got by releasing win95 "OSR2" only with a few new drivers
and fat32.
I've seen lately, wants to avoid all risks... spending a 5-digit figure for
pressing CDs is a bold and dangerous move. ;-)
they'd need to do is to recreate the Warp 4.0 cd with the current code

The following new Internet software versions are available NOW at
http://www.dataline.ch/~rch/
------------------------------------
The Binary Newsreader (BNR) is designed for easy downloading and decoding
single- and multipart binary files which are UUE- or BASE64 encoded from
Internet newsgroups. BNR receives, connects and decodes the posts from a
newsgroup and delivers ready-to-use binary files. EXACTLY! It's made for all
those alt.binaries... newsgroups. BNR recognizes and connects multipart
files!
You don't have to connect posts that are made of more than one part. BNR
delivers a ready-to-use binary file. Additional features: Filters,
blocklist,
scripts, SOCKS firewall support and much more...
----------------------------------
The Binary HTTP Reader makes it easy to download tons of files from the
World
Wide Web (WWW). Have you ever tried to download a bulk of binaries from a
Web
site? Of course you have! You have to crawl through dozens of webpages, you
receive megs of bytes you really don't want (logos, advertising info etc)
until you finally reach the file- list. After this, you have to download
each
of your binaries manually (one by one) and store it on your system. Well,
this
can take a while... The HTTP Reader makes it easy to download binary files
like PICTURES, AUDIO FILES, MOVIES and other binaries like SOFTWARE, ZIPs
etc
from Webservers multithreaded, fast and efficient...
-------------------------------
This software scans well known TCP/IP ports of one or more servers for
active
services. You can specify a single server name (e.g. www.myserver.com) or a
range of IP-Addresses (e.g. from 192.85.184.12 to 192.85.184.66). Active
port
numbers are being listed with the name of the service commonly used on this
port.
function for an entire range of IP-addresses.
----------------------------------------------
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) Client connects to a time server through the
Internet, gets the current time and adjusts the clock of your OS/2 machine
using the system DATE function. This version supports both TIME and DAYTIME
servers!
--------------------
Are you tired of checking your E-Mail every few minutes ? You do not want to
have your E-Mail Client running all the time to keep you informed about
incoming mail? POP3 Spy is a small program which checks your mail every few
minutes and informs you in many different visual or acoustic ways.
