PALM HARBOR, FLORIDA (March 12, 1996) - M. Bryce & Associates, Inc. (MBA)
today announced the release of the April issue of OS/2 CONNECT, a freeware

universe of IBM's OS/2 32-bit operating system.
The newsletter is implemented as an INF file suitable for use with the
standard "View" utility (VIEW.EXE) built into OS/2 2.x (or higher). The file
is named CON0496.ZIP (except in Japan where it is labeled as CON0496J.ZIP) and
