Links OS/2 Now Shipping!
World's most popular computer golf game now available on OS/2 Warp!
Canton MI. Stardock Systems, a leading OS/2 software vendor, began shipping Links for OS/2 today. Links for OS/2 is the result of a partnership between Access Software, Inc. and Stardock Systems, Inc.
"Stardock's great reputation in the OS/2 market made them an obvious choice to work with when we wanted to bring our award-winning golf game to OS/2," said Bill Biggs, Access Software.
Links for OS/2 has the same standards of excellence that PC gamers have come to expect from Access and Stardock. With state-of-the-art graphics and sound, Links for OS/2 also takes advantage of OS/2's strong graphics user interface features. Links promises to be a hit with OS/2 game enthusiasts. "The mixture of high quality graphics in a GUI environment such as OS/2's Presentation Manager makes it perfectly suited for OS/2 users," said Brad Wardell, Stardock Systems, Inc.
Because of its user interface, players can display the information they want to see any way they want. Multiple course views, score cards, wind conditions, and more can all be configured to display any or all components at the same time. Moreover, Links for OS/2 is also compatible with existing Links .CRH golf courses that are widely available.
Links for OS/2 will be generally available on Monday, June 9, 1997 from any reseller that carries OS/2 software. Links for OS/2 is also available directly from Stardock at 1-888-STARDOCK, 313-762-0687, or 313-762-0690(fax).

Stardock Releases PlusPak: PMINews for OS/2.
Powerful OS/2 News Reader from the makers of PMMail now available! For Immediate Release
Stardock Systems, Inc., a leading OS/2 software vendor, released the second product in the PlusPak series - PlusPak: PMINews. PlusPak: PMINews is the result of several months of close collaboration between Stardock, OS/2's leading commercial software vendor, and SouthSoft, OS/2's leading shareware company.
PlusPak: PMINews was designed from scratch to be "the ultimate newsreader" and contains many features designed to appeal to both the casual Internet user as well as USENET news junkies. Some of the features include:
Multiple Server Support. Users with access to more than a single news server can now combine the power of those news servers for their own use. PlusPak: PMINews integrates multiple news servers into a single master list of all available newsgroups.
Multiple GroupLists. If you read a significant number of newsgroups, multiple GroupLists are likely to be one of the most useful and unique features of PlusPak: PMINews. Users can have different sets of newsgroups in each GroupList. Each GroupList can also contain its own settings, such as different email addresses, signatures, custom filters, etc.
Advanced Filtering and Searching. Users can filter out particular users or entire threads they do not wish to not see again with only a couple mouse clicks. PlusPak: PMINews' search features allow users to search any portion of a post or newsgroup filter the results based on a particular attribute. Boolean relationships can be used in searches and filtering. For example, a user could create a single filter that searches for posts that are cross-posted into ALT. newsgroups AND has the word "money" in the subject. For true newsgroup power users, PlusPak: PMINews also comes with its own filtering language. PlusPak:PMINews example filters, when activated, can help weed out SPAM and filter binary newsgroups to only display messages with actual attachments. Few newsreaders on any platform can even remotely compare to PlusPak: PMINews anti-SPAM features, all of which are user viewable and customizable to help make your newsgroup experience less of a hassle.
Offline support. Rather than forcing you to stay connected to the Internet while browsing messages of interest, PlusPak: PMINews includes extensive off-line support to minimize your time online and maximize your newsgroup viewing experience. After marking the messages or threads you wish to view, simply let PlusPak: PMINews download them to your machine to view at your leisure. You can even create filters to automatically download messages that are of interest to you!
Spell Checking. The spell checking features of PlusPak: PMINews help ensure that your posts do not go out with a bunch of unnecessary spelling mistakes. The spell checker's dictionary is dynamic and highly configurable. The more you use it, the better it will be at correcting your mistakes.
Integration with the world's most popular OS/2 mail program. Because PlusPak: PMINews has been developed by SouthSoft, it integrates seamlessly with PMMail. If PMMail and PlusPak: PMINews are both installed to the same directory, address books and drag-and-drop can be shared between the two products.
Excellent binary news group handling. Users who download images, shareware, sounds, and other binary files from Internet newsgroups will be pleased to find that binary posts are treated as actual files. These files can be dragged and dropped to the desktop or even manipulated right from the post itself. Moreover, PlusPak: PMINews also handles multiple-part binary postings.
A ton of usability feature. The number of convenient little features in PlusPak: PMINews are too numerous to articulate. Developers at both SouthSoft and Stardock have years of experience using Internet newsgroups and sought to bring to OS/2 a news reader that supplied the vast majority of feature requests from the various newsreader wishlists that have ever existed.
PlusPak:PMINews is currently available from Stardock's on-line commerce
server. PlusPak: PMINews lists for $34.95,
but it is only $29.95 off the commerce server. Users can also order by
phone at1-888-STARDOCK or 313-762-0687. PlusPak: PMINews will soon be
available via Stardock's reseller network, along with other PlusPak
products. A special bundling of PMMail and PMINews will be available
from Stardock later this week.

OS/2 Users, Vendors to Meet in L.A, CA
June 2, 1997 - - Oklahoma City - - SofTouch Systems, an advisory member of the Warpstock '97 steering committee, is pleased to announce Spitfire Software, Atlanta, GA, will be attending the inaugural Warpstock event to be held in Los Angeles, CA, October 24-26, 1997.
According to Bruce Landeck, president and owner of closely held Spitfire Software "We are looking forward to Warpstock '97. We believe this event will show support for all those individuals and small business owners who use OS/2. For the vendors/developers of OS/2 products for that audience, it will give us a great opportunity to greet our customers face to face". "We look forward to meeting the wonderful SOHO and individual users which have made us the number one provider of financial software for this market", he added.
Warpstock 97, a major conference for OS/2 small office/home office (SOHO) and individual end-users, is an excellent opportunity for OS/2 SOHO and individual users and OS/2 vendors to identify this market segment's product requirements and to exchange ideas.
"Frankly, I'm not surprised so many individuals have already committed to invest their personal time and money to attend an event aimed at the SOHO and individual OS/2 user", said Felix Cruz, marketing director for SofTouch Systems. "It confirms what many have said all along: That the SOHO market is a lucrative market for OS/2, and can be well served by both IBM and independent software vendors," Cruz said.
Spitfire Software was formed 4 years ago to provide quality financial software for the OS/2 market. In that time it has released three products including InCharge!, the leading OS/2 financial system for personal and small business use. InCharge! won OS/2 Computing magazine's Editor's Choice Award for 1997 as the best financial system on OS/2.
In Charge! is a full function personal and small business financial system for OS/2. It supports multiple sets of books, and within a set of books it supports all types of accounts and currencies. InCharge! provides integrated management of multiple-year budgets, payables/receivables, home inventory, stock portfolios, insurance, and tax data. Small business functions for invoicing/billing, order entry, inventory, and sales analysis are provided. VAT/GST, electronic bill payment via CheckFree, and check printing are supported. InCharge imports/exports data in multiple formats. Integrated time slips type function provided for attorneys, CPAs, and consultants.

- Are you tired of checking your E-Mail every few minutes ?
- You do not want to have your E-Mail Client running all the time to keep you
informed about incoming mail ?
POP3 Spy is a small program which checks your mail every few minutes and informs you in many different ways:
- The window interior displays the number of messages on your mail- server.

- The icon changes. When running this program minimized, you can check the icon on your desktop.
- The window title also tells you how many messages are waiting. See if you have unread E-Mail using the task list!
- The software can inform you by playing a tune using the system speaker.

DH-Grep-PM v1.00 Available.
Grep stands for "Get Regular Expression and Print" and is a text searching tool that was first developed for UNIX systems and has been ported to most operating systems.
This PM version of grep is designed as a user friendly application. It is designed for a multitasking environment and the search takes place on a separate thread to minimize the time that the wait icon is displayed. It will also run in a low priority idle mode to reduce the impact the search has on the other active programs.
The often cryptic command line options have been replaced with easy to use menu selections. The output of the search is sent to a PM window and the user has easy access to all of the information that was found by the program. To reduce the overhead, the results are buffered until the search is completed and then displayed in the PM window.
Most of the usage information is available as online context sensitive help. Pressing the F1 key will bring up the help information about the current menu selection.
If the user places the cursor (not the mouse pointer) on a file name in the results window and then double clicks with the right mouse button, that file will be loaded into the editor specified in the edit_cmd.cmd file. The easiest way to move the cursor to the desired line or file name is to double click on the line or file name with the left mouse button.
The shareware version of DH-Grep-PM is fully functional, but a registration prompt will be displayed when the program is started and when it is closed. Registration is $10 (US) and the registered version includes two additional versions. One compiled for the 486 CPU and one compiled for the pentium/586 CPU.
Users may register or download the utility from BMT Micro.
