I got the following FTN announcement off of IBMLINK's Bulletin Board:

          02/11  9:30&11:30   DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT (DCE)

Thursday
 Approx.             9:30 A.M.EST =  8:30 CST =  7:30 MST =  6:30 PST
 Program            11:30    "    = 10:30  "  =  9:30  "  =  8:30  "
 Length: 90min.       ALL TIME ZONES WILL RECEIVE BOTH BROADCASTS.

AVAILABLE: In the clear and at IBM locations
INFO TYPE: This is a technical product update focusing on the implemen-
           tation of system services in the distributed LAN environment
           for OS/2.
SKILL LVL: 3
AUDIENCE:  Customer workstation coordinators supporting and implementing
           Local Area Networks, Workstation Specialists, SEs.

The broadcast will explain the role OS/2 will be play in the evolving
computing environment. It will be helpful to review the content of the
Dec 10, 1992 broadcast, OS/2: Distributed LAN System Directions (FTN
#92263). The content of this broadcast will focus on the functions and
services required in the LAN environment of today and the immediate
future.

IBM LAN Systems is releasing a family of products which significantly
extend the distributed computing capabilities of workstations and personal
systems. The core of the Distributed LAN System is a set of system services
which allow networked applications to be more easily developed and
administered.

These system services are based on the Distributed Computing Environment
(DCE) from the Open Software Foundation (OSF), a technology widely
accepted by the computing industry. The session introduces this new
technology, discusses its implementation in workstations and personal
systems, and provides insight into the impact on existing and planned
distributed computing environments.

BROADCAST NUMBER:  93027


             PURCHASE OF "HANDOUTS" AND VIDEOTAPES, 1-800-282-0226

Give the operator the following information:

* When "handouts" are available prior to broadcast date, it will be

the presentation material can be ordered.

         SATELLITE RECEIVE EQUIPMENT & COORDINATES FOR SBS-5 SATELLITE
