SCOUG OS/2 For You - January 1999

On the web, content is king. Far more important than glitzy graphics, content makes people come back again and again.

Let's see how this month's chosen web sites measure up:

Ratings			Info
Content	Links	Glitz	Type	Site (url) and Comments
A	B	B+	Fonts	Match Fonts (http://www.matchfonts.com/os2/).  A fine collection of fonts; the Duck likes this site.
A	F	C-	Freeware	The Papo Home Page (http://www.msen.com/~rpapo/).  It's always nice to have some extra gadgets on the desktop.  Source code included.
A+	D	C+	IBM	IBM Redbooks (http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/).  Didja know about this site?  Didja spend an all-niter reading some docs?  They're PDF; save to a file, then run Acrobat Reader.
A-	D	C+	Acrobat	Adobe Acrobat Reader For OS/2 (http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/readstep.html).  View those nasty PDF files with this free reader.
A	F	C+	Audio	RealPlayer (http://www.real.com/).  The OS/2 version of RealPlayer is still available for free.
B	F	A	Utilities	SysBar/2 (http://www.lab321.ru/~dip/sysbar2/).  Very nice home page for the free SysBar/2 utilities.  Hint:  Click on "overview".
B	D-	C+	File Mgr	Larsen Commander (http://home.sol.no/~leilarse/lcmd/index.html).  New beta 0.94 released December 23.  Check the screen shot!
C	F	C+	CD Writer	RSJ CD-Writer for OS/2 (http://www.rsj.de/stage/en/cd_os2.htm).  Record your CDs with this OS/2 package.  Duck is impressed with the software, but not with the site.
A	F	C	Programming	OS/2 Device Driver Frequently Asked Questions (http://www.wdi.co.uk/os2dd/os2dd.html).  This isn't about using drivers.  It's about writing drivers.
?	?	B+	OS/2 Logo	Just Warp! (http://www.mclink.it/mclink/teamos2it/justwarp/index.htm).  The site's in Italian, but the logo is quackin' great!
