This is a request for asistance with the BeOS/2 campaign, pages at http://www.speednet.com.au/~daeron/BeOS2/.
Some members of Be Inc. have already shown interest in the project and requested numbers of respondees. We hope that enough people will respond during the first two weeks of January, not only to convince Be Inc. but to give them a very good means of convincing IBM that the PowerPC version of OS/2 should be made commercially available and supported as the next generation of PCs instead of the Wintel direction.

SLRN v0.9.2.1 Available.
OK, I've gone and done it. I tried a compile of slrn 0.9.2.1 and it compiled like a charm. I've thrown together a quick distribution for those who still have 0.8.8.2 and would like an update. The OS/2 documentation is almost completely based on the 0.8.8.2 README.os2 file that Jay Maynard put together.
Word of warning, 0.9.2.1 has changed a lot since 0.8.8.2 so expect some errors when you fire up with you're old slrn.rc file.
SLRN 0.9.2.1 is available as slrn0921.zip on:
Hobbes: ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/incoming/ , soon to be moved to ??
CDROM.COM: ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/os2/incoming/ , soon to be moved to ??
