Remember the Nebula newsletter I mentioned in last month's report? In the meantime I've received the newsletter for November and December. It contained a great deal of information, nothing you can't find elsewhere but if you don't have the time to follow the newsgroups and browse the net on a regular basis, the Nebula newsletter is just for you.

According to the editor, four hundred people are subscribed to the international version of the newsletter and two hundred people are subscribed to the Nordic version - that's very impressive, I think. Here are the URLs again:

Nebula International: http://home2.swipnet.se/~w-29767/nebula/
Nebula Nordic: http://home2.swipnet.se/~w-29767/nebula/nordic/

Leif-Erik Larsen from Norway has created a home page with a number of "home made" utilities plus a number of recommended utilities. I haven't tried any of Leif-Erik Larsen's own utilities so you will have to take a look yourself.

Those of you with many computers to administrate may already know Mikael Wahlgren's (Ridax programutveckling located in Sweden) remote control programs PM2You and OS2You which have been around for quite a while.

Quoting from the PM2You archive: "Remote Control the entire Presentation Manager Desktop from another OS/2 or Windows machine through dial-up modem, NetBIOS, TCP/IP, APPC, SPX, ISDN or Named Pipes. Can also replace the standard Telnet daemon."

IBM has offices with home pages in four out of five Scandinavian countries, the URLs are fairly straightforward but here they are in case you need to get in touch with your local IBM office.

IBM Danmark A/S: http://www.ibm.dk/
IBM Suomi (Finland): http://www.ibm.fi/
IBM i Norge: http://www.ibm.no/
IBM i Sverige: http://www.ibm.se/

That's all for now, Merry Christmas (or rather Yuletide) to all of you, or as we say in the Scandinavian languages: Glædelig jul (Danish); God jul (Norwegian and Swedish); Gledileg jol (Icelandic); Hyvaa joulua (Finnish) - hopefully I got the spelling right.

May you get many OS/2 software packets for Christmas.

Please do not hesitate to send me any Scandinavian specific news and information you would like mentioned in this column.
