Hi Voytek

In July 2000, APC put out a cd with a copy of OS/2 Warp 4 for free.
Looking at the cd itself, its an image file of some 181mb.
Included in the cd is StarOffice 5.1a & BeOS 5 Personal Edition.

Unfortunately, I cant find the cover book (not the magazine) which was
included.

I can burn it & send it out to you if you like.
Note: by doing this, is this an act of piracy?

Regards
Peter Calman

John,

you have an amazing memory ! to remember that far back...
me too, I remember that as well

but I'd be willing to bet that it woulkd be rather hard to find two people
inside of IBM that remember that.

I have a copy of the cover book as well as the CD - it could be scanned if required.

Hi, I came across this in some comments reviewing XFCE a *nix DE. "Work still needs to be done on application data interchange-I should be able to drag any document from any application to any other application and have the target application respond in an intelligable fashion(and this means from any toolkit and to any toolkit). And finally Xprint needs to be modernized -people are already working towards integrating gnomeprint and Xprint- if the KDE folks also follow this path we could end up with a single printer configuring/managing tool available in all applications regardless of toolkit. " FYI - http://www.osnews dot com/comment.php?news_id=8975&offset=15&rows=30 I wonder why it sound a bit familiar? jaw ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
