                   FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


        Southern California OS/2 User Group Makes It
          Official:  Warp Expo West This September


  Following is the statement made today by Terry Warren, 
President of the Southern California OS/2 User Group, at 
its General Meeting:
_____

  Good morning.

  The Southern California OS/2 User Group was formed six 
years ago as a center for knowledge and learning about the 
operating system known as OS/2.

  During these six years we have shown our commitment to 
this objective.  Our monthly meetings feature cutting edge 
OS/2 technologies and products.  We have Special Interest 
Groups dedicated to high-interest areas.  We have a 
renowned web site with a vast collection of OS/2 
information.  Our monthly publication OS/2 For You is six 
years old.

  Our monthly speakers come from around the globe.  Chris 
Graham, The Graham Utilities, Australia.  Brad Wardell, 
Stardock Systems, Michigan.  Randell Flint, Sundial 
Systems, Southern California.

  And our commitment to bringing OS/2 users and vendors 
together in one place is already well established.  SCOUG 
was instrumental in finding the facilities, services and 
manpower that culminated in the 1997 debut of the first 
Warpstock, here in Southern California.  SCOUG was one of 
only three user groups to have presentation tables at 
Warpstock '98, where we also ran an Internet Relay Chat 
from the vendor floor.  And, also in 1998, the SCOUG 
Five-Year Anniversary Party drew almost two hundred 
attendees for a day-long party with OS/2 lectures, games 
and a fifty-prize raffle.  A similar SCOUG event took place 
the year before.

  Today, I am pleased to announce that SCOUG, the Southern 
California OS/2 User Group, will continue and in fact 
expand its involvement in the OS/2 community.  I am pleased 
to announce that this September, SCOUG will fully sponsor 
Warp Expo West - A Warpfest Of OS/2 Excitement here in 
Southern California.

  Further, the Board Of Directors of the Southern 
California OS/2 User Group has decided that Warp Expo West 
shall be free.  Attendees at Warp Expo West will pay no 
admission fee; vendors presenting their OS/2 wares will pay 
no exhibitor fee.  Every person at Warp Expo West, be they 
guest, vendor or lecturer, will enjoy this Warpfest Of OS/2 
Excitement without charge.

  Warp Expo West will take place in one Vendor Hall, three 
Lecture Halls and a Special Interest Patio at Chapman 
Conference Facilities in Orange, California, just four 
miles from Disneyland, on Saturday September 18 1999.  
There will be over 20 OS/2 seminars and lectures; we expect 
the presence of dozens of OS/2 software vendors.  Our 
choice of a very-intensive one day event means that more 
guests and vendors, especially those who cannot afford an 
entire weekend of their time, may attend.

for our upcoming Warpfest Of OS/2 Excitement.  To register 
for this free event, visit this page.  To get to the Warp 
Expo West web page, just click the logo on SCOUG's home

  There is more excitement surrounding OS/2 right now than 
we've seen in some time.  New disclosures show that 
competitor business practices hindered the growth of OS/2 
far more than anyone knew, and the recent success of new 
OS/2 product releases shows there's a strong and surging 
need for this robust and powerful operating system.  When 
we gather in September we shall bring with us the strength 
of knowing that our choice was the right choice, the 
technologically superior choice, the one choice with the 
strongest and most intuitive graphical user interface and 
the fastest and most flexible multiprocessing capabilities.  
We look forward to seeing each and every OS/2 user, from 
the world over, at our Warpfest Of OS/2 Excitement - Warp 
Expo West.

- Terry Warren, President
  The Southern California OS/2 User Group
