The OS/2 SIG of the Philadelphia Area Computer Society invites all
interested computer users to attend the April meeting:
  
       WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 2000   7:00 - 10:00 PM
   The Episcopal Academy, 376 N. Latches Lane, Merion, PA
  
          ***   APRIL FEATURE PRESENTATION   ***
      --  IBM Information Presentation Facility  --
  
OS/2 SIG member Barry Mann will conduct a presentation and
demonstration of IBM's Information Presentation Facility (IPF).

These easy-to-use native OS/2 tools are available to turn a dull,
flat ASCII text file into a slick-looking searchable .INF document.
The only tools needed are your favorite text editor, the IPFC.EXE
compiler and its auxiliary files.

Working with IPF is much like writing web pages. Enough basics to
create passable documents can be mastered in a short time. Complex
documents need more planning and management. We'll start with the
basics, showing how simple ASCII files can be converted to .INF
documents in a few minutes time. Following this, Barry will discuss
how to organize larger works for IPF conversion.

Along the way, Barry will do live demonstrations of converting raw
ASCII text files to nicely formatted .INF documents.

A brief descriptive announcement will also be made in regard to a
Build-a-Thon II (build-your-own) group project which is being planned
for the May and June meetings during this coming spring.

Other agenda items include SIG business matters, OS/2 news, new
software releases, Q&A session, software raffle, etc. An OS/2 system
will be on hand for demos of OS/2, Java, Internet, etc., as time
permits. Free light refreshments will also be available.

Mark the date and time: Wednesday, April 26th, at 7:00pm, to hear
about all the new and exciting developments, or if you have questions
about OS/2 Warp and Java. OS/2 SIG meetings are open and free for
OS/2 users, their guests and all others interested in learning about
OS/2 and associated Java technology.
