          Warp Expo West announces Vendor100 Plan
                for OS/2 Software Developers


  Warp Expo West has announced a very special plan for OS/2 
software developers and vendors.

  "We're calling it our Vendor100 plan," said Warp Expo 
West Chairman Rollin White, "and it is free, absolutely 
free, no strings attached of any type.  We want to make 
sure that OS/2 software developers and vendors everywhere, 
whether they make use of one of our free exhibitor tables 
or not, have a presence at Warp Expo West."

  The Vendor100 plan, as explained by White, is quite 
simple.  Any OS/2 software developer of any size can have 
their software displayed at Warp Expo West, and any other 
OS/2 offering can likewise be promoted.  If the developer 
or vendor cannot attend, the Warp Expo West staff will fill 
in.

  "If you have an existing OS/2 software product," said 
White, "you can sign up for free for Vendor100.  If you 
offer an OS/2 service of any kind, you can sign up for free 
for Vendor100.  If you've published an OS/2 book, or you 
host an OS/2 oriented web site, or if you have any other 
product or service related to OS/2, you can sign up for 
free for Vendor100."

  The benefits of being a part of Vendor100 are striking.  
"For starters, you get your product or service onto the 
Warp Expo West web site as soon as you sign up, so right 
away you're getting additional exposure," explained Carla 
Hanzlik, the Warp Expo West webmistress.  "Then, you'll get 
front line exposure at Warp Expo West even if you haven't 
reserved one of our free exhibit tables.  We'll make sure 
your product materials get into the hands of the Warp Expo 
West attendees."  Hanzlik described the Vendor100 plan 
while she was busily designing new web pages for Warp Expo 
West.  "If you have brochures, or a printout of your web 
site, or demo CDs or diskettes, or promotional items of any 
kind, we'll make sure those items are received by our 
guests and available on our special Vendor100 tables.  And 
our staff will be at these tables to direct guests to the 
particular types of products they're looking for, so not a 
single Vendor100 product will be overlooked by any 
attendee."

  Signing up for Vendor100 is easy.  "Email me," said 
White, "and we'll get you signed up for free.  Every 
attendee who comes to Warp Expo West wants to see OS/2 
products and services.  They want to know the large 
offerings, the shareware and freeware, the books and 
websites that will give them the tools they need and solve 
the problems they have."

  To join Vendor100 for free, email Rollin White at 
Rollin@scoug.com.

  "Vendor100 will give your product or service a free 
presence at Warp Expo West," continued White, "and we want 
every single OS/2 developer and vendor to be represented 
there."

  Steve Schiffman, the Warp Expo West facilities manager, 
was especially pleased with the planning he's having done 
for the exhibit hall and the Vendor100 displays.  "We've 
carefully measured the rooms and located every electrical 
outlet and network connection," said Schiffman, "and we're 
making complete floor diagrams showing lighting, tables, 
aisles and doorways.  Every exhibitor will be included in 
the high-traffic area, and the Vendor100 tables will be 
specially located to maximize their impact and to move 
guests past all of the exhibitors who have taken one of our 
free exhibitor tables."

  Warp Expo West, "A Warpfest of OS/2 Excitement", is free 
for guests and exhibitors alike.  The show takes place on 
September 18 in sunny Southern California, and the web 
pages are located at http://www.scoug.com/warpexpowest

  "Vendor100 is another means for promoting OS/2 products," 
concluded White.  "With the product literature and samples 
in front of the attendees and the vendors' online ordering 
systems in place, we hope to connect a lot of OS/2 users 
with the programs and services they need."
