The following replaces the information in the WarpCast announcement
posted on March 11 (http://www.os2ss.com/warpcast/wc4949.html):

The next meeting of the Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG)
will be tomorrow, Saturday, Mar. 18, at 9:00 AM PST.

NOTE: We have a new meeting location: we will be meeting at Eastside
Christian Schools (Heritage Campus) in Anaheim at 2528 W. La Palma
Ave.

XFree86/OS2 and Elections

Tim Katz of Demand Systems (http://www.demand-sys.com) will be giving
a presentation on XFree86/OS2 at our main meeting. Demand Systems
sells OS/2 pre-loaded machines. They also did the live video feed
from Warp Expo West.

XFree86/OS2 (version 3.3.6) is a port of XFree86, the free and
optimized X11R6 implementation to OS/2. It is an entire window
management environment that usually runs in Unix environments. (For
more information on XFree86/OS2, go to
http://borneo.gmd.de/~veit/os2.xf86os2.html; also there is an article
in OS/2 e-Zine! at http://www.os2ezine.com/v1n6/xfree.html).

We will also be electing new officers and board members. Be sure to
be there!

After the presentation and elections, we'll have Q&A to help you with
your questions & problems, and then a raffle. After a short break,
then the Saturday SIG meetings:

Programming SIG: Will look at using CVS and RCS for managing software
development projects with multiple contributors. The group will be
using these programs to manage the future SIG projects.

An overview of CVS (Concurrent Versions System) is viewable at
http://www.scoug.com/programming/cvs.html. There are links to
download CVS; the EMX runtime is required as well. Other reference
links to CVS are available here.

General Interest Group: We will take a stock Win95 system and
actually do an OS/2 install along with creating a maintenance
partition. Time permitting, we will also get into DSL and cable modem
hookups.

Internet SIG chats happen several times each week. Join them! (For
further information, go to http://www.scoug.com/chat/index.html).


Monday, March 20, 7 PM PST meetings at Eastside Christian Schools
(Heritage Campus):

The OS/2 Help Desk will have volunteers to give you hands-on
assistance solving your hardware and software problems.

The Networking SIG will be meeting at the same time/place as the Help
Desk in the new computer lab. They'll be looking into DSL issues.


Thursday, March 23, 7 PM PST meeting at Eastside Christian Schools
(Heritage Campus):

The Sundial SIG will meet in the computer lab. The topic is Mesa 2
macros and how they can make your life so much easier. Be sure to
work through the short introduction
(http://www.scoug.com/presentations/mesamacro1.html) before the
meeting!


How to get to Eastside Christian Schools (Heritage Campus):

The Eastside Christian School (Heritage Campus) in Anaheim is at 2528
W. La Palma Ave. It is on the south side of the street (about 200 ft.
E of Magnolia) on the Grace Baptist Church property. It's a 2-story
office building close to La Palma Ave. with the address of 2528 up
near the roof. (It's between 2 large apartment complexes and can be
easily missed). Look for the SCOUG banner (if you are driving
eastbound on La Palma Ave.) and/or a sign with the words "New Hope
Christian Center". Turn in (south) there. Park in the front lot. For
the general meeting, go up the stairs in the middle of the building
along the parking-lot side. For the weeknight SIGs, go in at the
middle on the ground floor and down the hall to your right.

Freeway exits: (subject to change due to freeway construction on I-5
and the 91 freeways):

1) North I-5 (from central/south Orange County): the Brookhurst/La
   Palma exit has re-opened. Get off at Brookhurst/La Palma and turn
   left (going west over I-5). The school/church will be on your left
   side.
2) South I-5 (from Los Angeles): take the Magnolia exit and turn
   right going south. Turn left on La Palma Ave; the school/church
   will be on your right side.
3) West 91 freeway (from the Inland Empire, etc): take the Magnolia
   exit and turn left going south. Turn left on La Palma Ave; the
   school/church will be on your right side.
4) East 91 freeway: take the transition to I-5 south. Stay to your
   right and take the Magnolia exit. Turn right going south. Turn
   left on La Palma Ave; the school/church will be on your right side.

OR: Go to http://www.scoug.com/directions.html; there is a map to the
school, plus a more detailed map & driving directions from Yahoo!
Come and join us!
