See Spot Run! Rover's Coming to SCOUG! Orange Hill Software's Stan Shantar will be unveiling a new version of his system organization utility, code-named "Rover". Rover, which takes the concept of OS/2 Workplace Shell utilities one step beyond, is slated for release in September. SCOUG members will have an exclusive opportunity to see how Stan has extended the functionality of the Workplace Shell for all of us. Stan's presentations are always full of surprises, so join us as he takes OS/2 to new heights. Be sure to bring an oxygen mask! After the presentation, we'll have a raffle, Q&A, and then: General Interest Group - will give you lots of good information. Programming SIG - will continue development of their FTP server by examining any implications of using Java as the environment for it. They will also continue their on-going exercise designing this program. Monday, Aug 17th, 7 PM PDT at the OCIPUG Resource Center: Internet SIG - will look at the beta of Netscape Communicator 4.04 for OS/2. They'll work on getting video teleconferencing running and plan SIG activities for the Open House on Sept. 19th. As always, they'll discuss the latest Internet news, and "download" the best cookies anywhere. OS/2 Help Desk - SCOUG's volunteers will be on hand to help you resolve your difficulties with problematic hardware and software. Tuesday, Aug 18th, 7 PM PDT at the OCIPUG Resource Center: Networking SIG - begins Part 2 of setting up a gateway/proxy server.
