Announce:  DTCWeb, Desktop Communications' Web Site, now online
 
Desktop Communications, an information provider for the OS/2 publishing
community, is pleased to announce its website, DTCWeb
(http://www.dtcweb.com).
 
DTCWeb is an on-line resource for the "OS/2 Computer Publishing Platform"
("OS/2CPP").  It will contain reviews of and links to OS/2 and
OS/2-compatible software in the Desktop Publishing, Graphics Design,
Multimedia Authoring and Web Creation markets.
 
Although still in its infancy, over the following months DTCWeb will host
the following features:
 
PROJECT:TOOLBASE (P:TB), an online repository of information about OS/2
native and OS/2 compatible publishing software and hardware.  Ultimately
this will be an interactive database, for the moment it is static HTML
code.  Currently, the only active section lists available publishing
software for OS/2 (this is still under construction). 

Expect to see software and hardware reviews posted after the
Thanksgiving holiday.
 
PROJECT:MEDIABASE (P:MB), a resource for ISVs who want to tell the press
about their products.  P:MB will be a list of official contacts that ISVs
can get in touch with to set up reviews, send announcements to, etc.  This
feature is a future project and is not yet available on the site.
 
THE KILLER FONTS LIST:  Warp 4 has an interesting problem:  some Postscript
and TrueType fonts can cause it to crash.  The Killer Fonts List is an
attempt to identify these fonts (name, where they come from, etc.) so
you'll know not to even bother with them. 
 
MEDIAX:  Media X will be a downloadable multimedia magazine covering the
OS/2 Computer Publishing Platform.  It will be authored in NeoN Storybook
and available monthly (though it may start out every other month while
things get sorted out).
 
While DTCWeb only has the beginnings of Project:ToolBase up and running at
the moment, this site is still being developed and more content will be
provided after the Thanksgiving Holiday (that's after next week for those
of you not in the United States).
