    Description:  OS2BFN (OS/2 Brukerforum Norge) is an individual forum for users 
      and companies  using OS/2. In 1998 the forum started focusing more about our 
      on-line internet site, http://www.os2bfn.no/  In our site you will find all the  
      OS/2 related news, articles and OS/2 solutions.  The site is updated 2-4 times 
      a week.  In our seminars (4 times a year) we focus on important issues about 
      OS/2.  (WSOD, Java, Visual Age, Network computing and Warp/Warpserver/Domino)
      We have an IRC channel.  OS2BFN is for all users of the OS/2 operating system, 
      but also for those with other special interest of OS/2.  By the end of 1998 we 
      are going to announce a pure company related site with focus on servers, network 
      and cost-effective solutions.
