Tustin Ave. Guiffy What's in a name (pronounced Goofy)? In this case, a lot! Guiffy stands for GUI diFF & suremerge 2-or-3-waY tool, and this month, the tool's author, Bill Ritcher, will be on hand to show us all that it can do. In simple terms, Guiffy is a compare and merge utility for source files, folders, and file trees. It's Java based, which handily makes it cross- platform. It's fast, too. Not a programmer? Think you don't need it? Come take a look anyway. Ever wonder what you changed in CONFIG.SYS? Guiffy can find the differences and display them, even for those really long PATH/DPATH/ LIBPATH lines. Better yet, it can help you remove some of the differences while keeping the rest. To make this even better, Bill will be offering a club discount for copies purchased at the meeting. Still not sure? Well, members might even win a copy at the award- winning SCOUG raffle. We begin at 9:15 AM after some socializing with announcements, the presentation, and then a break for more socializing. Follow that with a SIG presentation or two and we're done around 12:30 PM. Don't forget that we'll also have Q&A when folks share their tribulations and solutions, and the aforementioned raffle. The donuts and coffee are free. OS/2 Help Desk and Networking SIG, March 3rd, 2002, 2 PM PST, Chapman University in Orange: Should you be in need of technical assistance, take your problem - and your system - to the in-person OS/2 Help Desk that's held once a month at Chapman University. SCOUG volunteers will help you work it all out. While you're at the in-person Help Desk, find out what the Networking SIG is doing. If networking isn't part of your current strategy, it will be eventually. The SIG meets at the same time and place, and pursues issues related to network configurations and problem solutions. How to get to Regal Lanes: From the 55 freeway, exit Katella Ave. heading west. Turn right (north) at the first major intersection onto Tustin Ave. At the next signal you'll find Regal Lanes on your right. It's across from the Toyota of Orange dealership. There's lots of parking on the south side of the building. Enter from the east entrance of the building (farthest from Tustin Ave.), not the main (front) entrance to the facility. Take the stairs to the 2nd floor; meeting rooms (and restrooms) will be on your left. Handicapped access is via an elevator by the front door. OR: Go to http://www.scoug.com/directions.html; there is a map to Regal Lanes, plus a more detailed map & driving directions from Yahoo! How to get to Chapman University: There are two ways to get directions: 1) Go to http://www.scoug.com/warpexpowest/sitemap.html 2) Go to http://www.mapquest.com/ and enter the address 400 N. Center Street, Orange, CA. You can park in any of the University lots for free on Sundays, but if you part on the street, watch the signs carefully or else risk getting a parking ticket. Come to Hashinger Hall Science Building, room 203. It's on the second floor and there's an elevator for you to bring up your equipment.
