Vol. 2 No. 3 SCOUG OS/2 For You - Mar. 1993

Mar. Meeting - a Double Header

The general meeting on March 19th looks to be action packed, with presentations by our members on two useful 32-bit OS/2 applications. As usual, there will be a general question and answer period after the presentations.

VisPro/REXX

Gary Granat will explore the potential of this very graphical REXX programming environment. VisPro/REXX from HockWare Incorporated makes it easy to build OS/2 GUI applications. The product includes a SOM toolkit, animated graphical debugger, and support for multi-threaded applications, among other things. It will be interesting to see how it compares and contrasts with WATCOM's VX-REXX which we saw demonstrated last month.

BackMaster QIC 40/80 Tape Backup

Everyone recognizes the hazards of operating a PC without adequate backups. BackMaster from MSR Development provides full, partial, incremental and unattended backups for use with OS/2 and most QIC 40/80 tape drives. Tom Suter will put the product through its paces in this demonstration. And, Matt Bennett reviews BackMaster later in this newsletter.
