Entree: News The BIG news is the release of eCS in Australia, but we will serve up any news available - of course Main Course: OS/2 Basics I will continue the series we commenced last time on those absolutely, utterly basic things of OS/2 which a number of people find so useful - what we might call the "bread and butter, meat and potatoes" of our favourite OS. Dessert: eCS - The Eagle Has Landed in Australia I have my copies of eCS and plan at least one install between now and the meeting. I aim to present an overview session on the way existing applications operate under eCS. As they say in Pidgin: "Sweet Too Much!" And if that isn't enough, we will re-fill at our regular pizzeria Topelz afterwards.

I have tried to reduce the size of the following Fwd. We have a request below from Kevin in South Yarra Melbourne who wants to borrow an OS/2 machine with floppy drive to extract genealogy data using his old OS/2 program. He is also looking for a new genealogy program. Does anyone remember the Java one I refer to (but can't find just when I want it?) Anyone who can help please email direct.
