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.
