Philadelphia OS/2 UG Mtg: Wed, May 22nd
The Philadelphia OS/2 User Group invites all interested computer users to
attend the May monthly meeting:
. *** MAY 22nd MEETING AGENDA ***
. -- OS/2 CONNECTION TO CABLE OR DSL --
A very special treat, which many folks have asked for, has been scheduled
for the May meeting: Everything you want to know about connecting OS/2 to
broadband cable or DSL internet service.
If you surf the Web, you have two ways to do it -- fast or slow! Fast
requires a cable or DSL modem and a network-ready computer. This month,
Vadim and David will take all the mystery out of it and show you exactly
how to do it, step by step. They will take you on a tour of OS/2
Networking, including everything you need to know to install, setup and
surf the Internet at the highest possible speed. Yes, it's technical, but
do it once and you're done. Step by step instructions, hardware
recommendations, and the answers to your questions.
Want the technical details? This is just a partial list:
1. The layered architecture of MPTS (multi-protocol transport
services), and an overview of INI files that control MPTS.
2. NDIS/2
network adapter driver and transport encapsulation
(Ethernet, TokenRing, ATM); loading config.sys adapter drivers.
3.
Protocol drivers for TCP/IP, NETBEUI, other protocols; loading
protocol drivers in protocol.ini and binding to NDIS drivers.
4. Basic
TCP/IP configuration; SETUP.CMD versus TCPCFG2.CMD.
5. Basic NETBIOS
configuration: machine name, starting services;
ibmlan.ini file.
6. Networking and installable file systems.
7. What does it cost (including hardware, and high speed
recommendations).
As time permits, we will cover some hardware recommendations for folks who
don't have a network ready computer. We'll also cover hubs and switches
and a brief intro to firewalls.
Other agenda items include U/G business items, OS/2 news, new releases,
Q&A session and raffles. The usual free refreshments will also be
available.
Mark the date and time: Wednesday, May 22nd at 7:00pm.
OS/2 meetings are open and free for OS/2 users, their guests
and others interested in learning about OS/2 and associated
technologies. We have a very full agenda, so also please try
to be on time promptly by 7:00pm.
. WE SUPPORT THE JAVA LOBBY: http://www.javalobby.org
Further information, directions to Episcopal Academy, and other useful
information about the OS/2 U/G activities may be found on our web site at http://www.phillyos2.org, or contact U/G Leader Larry Lavins: llavins@worldnet.att.net, or phone (215) 878-9609. - -
SCOUG meeting May 18: Create HTML with REXX
The next meeting of the Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG) will
be this Saturday, May 18, 2002 at 9:15 AM PDT, at Regal Lanes in Orange,
1485 N. Tustin Ave.
Creating HTML Tables with REXX
Tables are a great layout tool in HTML documents. They give you control
over alignment and space that can't be beat. But creating tables can be
tedious and frustrating, especially as they get larger and more
complicated. Sheridan George has a way to avoid the pitfalls of HTML
table creation -- he uses REXX!
Sheridan has found that taking the time to write a REXX program is easier
in the long run than hand-composing a HTML table, or even using a tool
such as Netscape Composer. At our May meeting he is going to share with
us some real-world examples he uses in his teaching. First, a quick
overview of Netscape Composer and basic HTML will get us all up to speed.
We'll see several examples, from simple to quite complex tables, and the
REXX scripts that Sheridan wrote to create them.
To top it all off, Sheridan will also demonstrate how he used REXX to
translate the names and addresses of his students from the fixed field
export format of a label-printing program to an XML vocabulary. (For
those of us who might not know, he'll even give a short lesson on what
constitutes a XML vocabulary.)
Sheridan's presentations are always appreciated, and this one should be no
exception.
In addition, we'll have Q&A, free coffee and donuts, and lots of
comradery. And of course our raffle.
Help Desk chats are on Wednesday evenings at 7 PM PDT. If you've got a
problem with hardware or software, join the chat and ask for help. Info is
at http://www.scoug.com/chat/index.html.
OS/2 Help Desk and Networking SIG, June 2nd, 2002, 2 PM PDT, Chapman
University in Orange:
SCOUG's in-person OS/2 Help Desk is held once a month at Chapman
University, in room 203 of the Hashinger Hall Science building. SCOUG
volunteers are there to help you work through your hardware and software
problems.
While you're at the in-person Help Desk, take a look at what the
Networking SIG is doing. It meets at the same time and place, so it's
convenient to do both. What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon each
month!
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.
Come and join us!

VPC/2.

Genealogy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A comparison "Ftree", written for OS/2 with "PAF" written for DOS.
Comparison will show the value of these programs in storing data and their
ease of use.
There is no such thing as a perfect database for genealogy. All programs
are written by people who have individual needs in recording their
research and each of has a different idea of what is important and what is
not. The difference is in the genealogist's desire for accuracy and proof.
Some "genealogists" insist on level one proof for each bit of data, others
take a more cavalier approach and enter data without proof, only
conjecture.
