Details:
This month's meeting will be a "themed" meeting.  As stated above, this  is
what we are calling "Widgets" for OS/2.  Little utilities that will just make
your life easier.

All programs are availble for download and registration from BMT Micro
(http://www.bmtmicro.com)

We will have four (4) such gems to share with you:  

(1) InJoy 
Why you need this program:  The best Internet dialer for OS/2 has recently been
upgraded, and we will show you what's changed.  Since we have access to an
analog line we will be able to show you some of the great session logging
abilities of this tool that certainly lives up to it's reputation.  
Version:  2.0
Web Site:  http://www.fx.dk

(2) PM Calc
Why you need this program:   A great calculator with a twist - It has no
equal... button that is.  Calculations are entered in spreadsheet fashion...
Example:  4*((4+3)-5)  PM Calc just keeps an automatic total running.  
Version:  3.0
Web Site:   http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/vrb/VIEREGG.HTM 

(3) PM View 
Why you need this program:  The gold standard in OS/2 graphic file viewing and
conversion.  It can read and write some 2 dozen-plus file formats.  We are
hoping that version 2.0 will be available to share with you, but if not, we will
have a brief review of the ol' reliable 1.x version.
Version:  1.04
Web Site:  http://www.bmtmicro.com/pmview

(4) Spell Guard - Special presenter! - Bob Mahoney - The author himself!
Why you need this program:  This program is a two for one special.  One it can
function as stand alone "Franklin Spelling Ace."  Two, it can spell check
anything on-the-fly.  This feature is it's greatest asset.  Ever fill out a web
form, submit it, get back a reply and you then realized you had a spelling
error, and thus looked like an idiot?  Spell Guard will protect you.  It has
lots of customization features as well, all of which will be demonstrated by the
author himself.
Version:  1.2.2
Web Site:  http://www.netusa.net/~rmahoney/

All four programs have one thing in common:  They are all of high enough
quality to be included with OS/2 itself; and no OS/2 system is truly complete
without them.

We hope to see you there.
