                    SCOUG Money Scramble
  SCOUG Presenter Attacks Audience With George Washingtons


The audience at the Saturday meeting of The Southern California OS/2
User Group (SCOUG) got one big surprise: handfuls and handfuls of
real dollar bills thrown about the assembly hall by the guest
presenter, who then lectured on his methods of using OS/2 for
computerized stock market investing.

"We've never had a meeting like this one" said one SCOUG member who
drove for an hour to attend. "We had money literally raining down on
our heads. Everybody got some."

The presentation was given in two sections during the four-hour
meeting. First, the complete investment system was block diagrammed
on white boards and each block was discussed, along with the specific
requirements for each. The system software components were described,
including custom software plus two inexpensive commercial OS/2
programs -- Mesa 2 for analysis and data presentation and DBExpert
for maintaining the databases.

Then, in the second half of the presentation, the formulas, terms and
software rules for the OS/2 system were detailed.

Both sessions included lots of question-and-answer time, including
several questions about the compilers used for the custom software.
Also of keen interest to the audience was the real-time data feed
capability of Mesa 2 and the simultaneous support of multiple
databases by DBExpert.

SCOUG welcomes all OS/2 users to their monthly General and SIG
meetings. Admission is always free. Mark your calendar for the third
Saturday of every month, and come to SCOUG. Visit:
