SCOUG OS/2 For You - November 1996

November Meeting Topic

Nov 16th Is a Double Header

Does your system need a SofTouch?

Felix Cruz from SofTouch Systems, Inc, will be attending the November meeting of SCOUG. He will be presenting the latest versions of UniMaint and FileStar/2, along with the GammaTech Utilities and GammaTech IRC. The applications from SofTouch are designed to help you maintain a happy and healthy OS/2 system. Felix is the sales and marketing director for SofTouch Systems, a manufacturer of OS/2 utilities since 1993.

Heads up: Gary Granat reviews UniMaint in this newsletter.

Will Photo>Graphics sharpen your image?

Photo>Graphics from TrueSpectra is a native OS/2 32-bit application allowing you to easily combine bitmaps, text and drawings into professional looking graphics. Using advanced editing and special effects tools with a powerful object oriented user interface, Photo>Graphics allows you to create images suitable for any purpose from webpage graphics to billboard sized posters. Terry Hamilton will show us all this, and may even preview the new PRO version that includes TWAIN scanner support, OpenDoc components/containers, and a Scripting interface, for automating operations with REXX or other languages.

And there's even more!

Following the presentations, you can get advice on OS/2-related problems or concerns during the question and answer session. Then after a short break, move on to one of the SIGS:

General Interest Group - gets to pick Felix's brain for reasons and ways to use the various OS/2 utilities from SofTouch.

Network SIG - continues its focus on client-server by installing and using Relish Net over LAN Distance.

Programming SIG - stays on the Java bandwagon. They'll pursue better ways to program it, possibly with VisualAge for Java.

Come to lunch at Sizzler after the meeting if you want to socialize with your OS/2 buddies. On Nov. 25th, if your interests are on the Web, check out the Internet SIG at 7 PM.
