Vendor100 Travels to the Web (from Rollin White)
Vendor100 Travels to the Web

After the success of Warp Expo West the Southern California OS/2 User Group is moving the Vendor100 exhibit to the web.

"This is a chance for Vendor100 software developers, webmasters, and OS/2 service providers to get additional exposure," says Carla Hanzlik Webmistress for Warp Expo West.

This is also an opportunity for members of the OS/2 community who couldn't make it to Warp Expo West to experience portions of the Vendor100 Exhibit. They will have access to the index of Vendor100, the web pages, the demos, and the online ordering.

"This continues our efforts to provide the information we've collected to as much of the OS/2 community as possible," offered Rollin White Chairman for Warp Expo West. "We hope everyone will take advantage of it."

Sponsored by The Southern California OS/2 User Group.

Please let me know if any of the bugs listed as possibly fixed are still present, and if I am missing anything. I'm happy to report that the list of known bugs (my list, not IBM's) in 4.61 is considerably shorter than before. Version 4.61 has numerous fixes contained it, thanks to the efforts of the IBM Netscape team!

The article is at http://www.32bitsonline.com/ and I welcome posts to the forum, or off line email, which contribute to this discussion.

The Widget Box [formerly OS/2oons] has moved (from Harry Martin)
Sorry for this late update, but due to service problems, I was rather quickly weened off my last internet service provider.

Needless to say, this broke a good number of links to my OS/2 related cartoons.

The Widget Box cartoon is published about once a month using P>G Pro for OS/2. Now that I have additional web space, I will repost all the orginal OS/2oons and the latest Widget Box.

In addition, I will post the GDO files on request for those OS/2 users who wish to make enlargements of the cartoons without getting all them jaggies.
