WHAT'S NEW IN THIS ISSUE?


Plenty! This section lists all of the changes and additions to OS/2 CONNECT that were implemented since the last issue. NOTE: Sections such as "News & Press Releases," "Software Shopper," "World Reports," "Products & Services," and "Team OS/2" are updated with each issue of OS/2 CONNECT. Changes to these sections are not listed here.
I am sorry to report that our web master, John Meroth, suffered a massive heart attack over the Labor Day weekend and past away. We extend our condolences to John's family. Because of this, John's Tampa Bay web site and bulletin board (Clarion) has been terminated. This means that any web site beginning with the prefix...

http://www.tbos2cla.com/

... is no longer operable. Consequently, this has resulted in our move to the OS/2 Supersite at: http://www.os2ss.com/connect/

Thanks for your patience. As a member of Team OS/2 and the Tampa Bay OS/2 Users' Group (TBOUG), John was an ardent and vocal supporter of OS/2. His voice will be missed.


Due to other commitments, our Brazilian and French World Report columnists, Rafael Donnici de Azevedo and Vincent Delaruelle, had to discontinue their columns. We want to thank them for their energies and wish them every success in their new endeavors. If anyone is interested in taking over these columns, please let me know.

We would also like to thank the following people for their input:
