BMT OS/2 SHAREWARE CD #4

BMT Micro is proud to announce the pending release of our fourth OS/2 CD-ROM shareware disc. The fourth edition is scheduled to ship on or before June 25th and is even bigger and better than before.

This 4th edition features the latest versions of the 300+ OS/2 shareware products distributed by BMT Micro. If you're looking for the "Cream of the Crop" in OS/2 shareware, this is the CD for you.

Best of all, each program on the disc can be purchased from BMT Micro or with any of our resellers located around the world - and you can receive the registration information delivered directly to you soon after placing your order (in almost all cases within 24 hours).

The programs on the disc are separated by category and the entire disc can be navigated with your web browser. In addition to being separated into categories, each program has been unarchived into a separate subdirectory allowing many of the programs to be run or installed directly from the disc. Even the programs that do not lend themselves to direct installation from the disc have been unzipped allowing the user to browse the various readme files, help files, etc. Each directory has a descriptive text file that lists file names and a brief description of the files in that directory.

We're now taking pre-orders for this disc for $7.99 each plus $2.00 shipping anywhere in the world (via US Postal Service.) This special price is good through June 25th, 1998 even if the discs are shipping well before then. As always, no charges will be made until the day the same day the disc ships.

Orders can be placed online at https://secure.falcon-net.net/BMT/order0019.html or by phone or fax at the numbers below.

As always, thanks!

OS/2 DEVELOPER ARMIN SCHWARZ TO EXHIBIT AT WARPSTOCK '98

Armin Schwarz, developer of a number of OS/2 applications, including the popular House/2 home automation application, announced today that he will be exhibiting his OS/2 applications at Warpstock '98.

According to Schwarz, "Last year I attended Warpstock as an ordinary attendee, but it's clear to me that the magic of Warpstock makes it a must-go for an OS/2 developer like me."

Schwarz not only will exhibit House/2, which allows operation of the X10 home automation devices, but also the popular children's Memory Game, Warpradio, a PM program to control the RadioActive FM Radio card, and Leave One, an addictive puzzle game similar to Pegged. Schwarz also develops industrial control applications, and they will also be exhibited at Warpstock.

All of Schwarz's applications are housed at the Warped Code Cellar at http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/aschw/.

Further information may be obtained from Aschw@compuserve.com, and the Warpstock home page can be found at http://www.warpstock.org/.

WARPSTOCK: SUNDIAL SYSTEMS ANNOUNCES PLANS TO EXHIBIT

SEAL BEACH, CA (June 3, 1998) - Sundial Systems Corporation has signed on as an exhibitor at Warpstock '98 being held in Chicago in October.

Warpstock is the biggest annual conference developed by volunteers expressly for OS/2 users. Last year's event was "a pure joy" according to Carla Hanzlik, Sundial's Vice President. "Not only were we pleased with the large turn-out, we were overwhelmed by the outpouring of attention from everyone there. That's why Warpstock '98 is a must for us," she said.

Sundial will be demonstrating its productivity applications at Warpstock. Relish is the company's flagship application, providing time and information management for both individuals and workgroups. The Clearlook word processor is flexible, fast, and easy to use. DBExpert is a multifaceted relational database and application builder for use alone or with other databases. And, Mesa 2 is a full-featured spreadsheet that rivals the competition, regardless of platform. All together, a hefty offering of OS/2 applications.

Sundial Systems Corporation has been providing quality applications to the OS/2 community since 1988. For more information, contact Carla Hanzlik, Vice President at 562/596-5121 or Carla@sundialsystems.com. On the Web, visit Sundial at http://www.sundialsystems.com/.

SIMPLICITY FOR JAVA - GENERAL AVAILABILITY

Data Representations, Inc. is pleased to announce the general availability of its flagship product, Simplicity for Java(TM). Simplicity for Java is a rapid application design tool for Java 1.1. Written completely in Java, Simplicity lets developers build Java applications and applets interactively. Developers can click-n-drop Java Layouts, AWT Components, Simplicity’s own extended components, and Third Party Java Beans into their applications. Simplicity features on-the-fly execution of Java source code, enabling applications to execute class declaration code, constructor code, method code, and event code as they are designed. This dynamic execution reduces the traditional, three step, Code-Compile-Test, software development process to a single step: Design. Every change that is made to an application's source code is immediately integrated into a working model of the program.

Simplicity also features the Code Sourcerer(TM), which interviews the user in order to determine what should happen in response to events and writes the appropriate Java source code. This allows Simplicity for Java to be used by both experienced and inexperienced Java developers.

Simplicity for Java comes with an Integrated Design Environment (IDE) which organizes all of the components of a project. A project can include multiple applications/applets, images, sounds, Java source/class files, HTML files, Java Beans, and any other data files related to a project. The Simplicity IDE also relieves the user from worrying about pathnames on both a local file system and on a web server.

Simplicity for Java is written completely in Java 1.1 to run on any Java-enabled platform, including OS/2 Warp, Solaris, Win95/NT, HP-UX, Linux and many others. Simplicity for Java has been submitted for 100% Pure Java certification.

A free tryout version of Simplicity for Java is available from Data Representations' web site, http://www.datarepresentations.com/. Simplicity for Java is priced at $89 US for a single user license.
