------------------------------ WarpCast ------------------------------ Source: Loren Bandiera, http://catbert.istar.ca/os2/ Reply-to: lorenb@inforamp.net --- (** Moderator's note: The IBM NewsTicker was a program which fetched real-time news headlines from the Internet and displayed them on your desktop. There was a working beta OS/2 version of the software, from http://www.infomarket.ibm.com/ht3/ntos2.htm, but since the entire service (including the Windows versions) has been discontinued, there's nowhere to get headlines from any more. **) [11/24/97] - IBM News Ticker Gone Sometime this weekend, my IBM News Ticker program stopped receiving updated headlines. When I called them today, they informed me that the entire News Ticker service had been suddenly and permanently discontinued and that the servers were now being used for other purposes.
