Hi Folks!
The new issue of OS/2 Computing! Magazine is out! This is a very
important month for us as we have an important announcement to make regarding
the future of the magazine.
This months issue: (a slimmer issue than usual)
Editorial: This is probably the most important editorial the editor has ever
written.
Please read it and see where we are heading.
Letters to the Editor
Reviews: Links/2 for OS/2 (Feature)
NcFTP (Freeware!)
Insider info on PMINews
Commentary
Programming: Programming with Style in C++ (No. 8)
Networks: Ask Timmy
Introduction to TCP/IP (part 2)
Beginners' Luck (for the beginner in all of us)
**** Please be aware that this issue is the FINAL ISSUE of OS/2
Computing! Magazine!! We are changing our format and will become 32 Bits
Online. We are NOT, I repeat, NOT abandoning OS/2!!!! We will continue to
give OS/2 the same coverage as we always have. We are simply spreading our
wings a bit to include other 32 bit platforms, including Win95/NT and Linux.
We will also be focusing on Java. This will give everyone a bit more variety,
but we will never abandon our roots as an OS/2 publication.
We will, in fact, be one of the few, if not the only publication, to
showcase OS/2 next to these other platforms, showing it side by side, on a
regular basis. We want to give the reader some balance and show that OS/2
is, in fact, the equal if not superior platform. Anyone reading 32 Bits
Online will see that OS/2 is just as capable and important as the Microsoft
platforms. It is our hope that this will elevate the stature of OS/2 in the
minds of the reading public and hopefully attract more people to OS/2.
We would like to thank all of our faithful readers for staying with us in
the past and sticking with us in this time of transition. Thanks!!!
Note: I will not be responding to any flames from COOA... : - )
