Wondering about OS/2? Announcing the next meeting of
Central Alberta OS/2 Users Group

Backup Solutions 1: Arcada Backup, Back Again/2 Professional
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
One renamed old-timer and one relative new-comer on the backup scene.

Tools for working on and with the Internet
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Innoval's [Post Road Mailer] and [Post Road News Reader] provide competitive
(and complementary) alternatives to the e-mail and newsreader tools in Warp.
[Surf'nRexx] provides Rexx-based automation tools for talking directly to
the Internet.
[SpellGuard] is a real-time spell-checker available from any OS/2
application, that has recently been adopted for the [Post Road Mailer].
[PM DirMatch] and [PMDiff] can help you with post-surfing (and lots of
other) file management by displaying (graphically) directory and file
differences according to criteria you set. Perfect for managing local and
remote mirrors of directories (as for a Web site).

We're Webbed! Stop by our site at http://www.caos2.ab.ca/
The converted and the curious are welcomed equally. We are a diverse group
of veterans, pioneers and newbies with a wide range of experience running
OS/2 in corporate, small business, and home environments. We meet on the
first Thursday of every month to pool our shared experiences in person.
Presentation ideas are always welcomed. Otherwise fax and electronic mail
serves our primary communications interest: software, news, and technical
interchange. Our membership fee is nominal, and payable on your second
visit. OS-bashing is not accommodated: open minds are. Come see Real People
using OS/2 for Work and Play.
