IBM Support of TEAM OS/2 Activities
-----------------------------------

Because TEAM OS/2 members use their own time, and often their own funds,
to do public OS/2 demos and to support and encourage local retailers,
IBM is offering support for these activities.

Demos
-----

If you're planning to demonstrate OS/2 for a group of people or a public
event -- for example, public demos at universities, PC fairs, hamfests,
shopping center malls, and OS/2 days at local retailers -- please
contact us (see how at the end of this note). We would like to know:

o  Date and location of scheduled event (location, city, state, country)

o  Number of teamers involved in doing or supporting the demo

o  Number of people expected to see your demo

o  If this is a public demo at a software retail store, also tell us how
   many store personnel are expected to be working at the store during
   your demo (so that we can send them all OS/2 T-shirts to wear during
   your demo!)

o  Your name, shipping address, and telephone number

We would like to help with a TEAM OS/2 Demo Pack, which consists of
things to support your demo and to give away during it. The specific
contents of your Demo Pack will vary according to your event, and we
will discuss the contents after receiving your request.

After your event, please send us a report that includes:

o  Names and addresses of all the teamers involved in the activity

o  The number of people who saw your demo or tried OS/2 during that time

o  Your assessment of how it went. Tell us what went well, what didn't,
   and any advice you have for others doing demos.

o  Your suggestions for our TEAM OS/2 support in the future

NOTE: This demo support does not apply to user group presentations. For
support of a demonstration to a user group, contact:

   Internet:   ibmpcug@vnet.ibm.com
   Inside IBM: IBMPCUG at AUSVM1

Adopt a Store
-------------

We encourage you to "adopt" a local retail store. Meet the employees,
answer their questions about OS/2, encourage them to stock it, and visit
them on a regular basis.

If you adopt a store that plans to carry OS/2, please contact us with
the following information:

o  Name and address of store

o  Name of the store manager

o  Does the store have, or will it have, a demo OS/2 system?

o  Does the store need some OS/2 marketing materials (posters,
   literature, and so on)?

If the answer to the last question is yes, we'll send you a TEAM OS/2
Store Pack for you to give to them. It contains things for the store's
employees, marketing literature, posters, OS/2 2.1 demo diskettes, etc.

NOTE: Retail store support is currently available only within the U.S.
However, if teamers outside the U.S. want to develop local versions of
these Store Packs, please send an e-mail note or a fax to LUVOS2 (see
below). We will then send you more information.

           | SOMobjects Developer Toolkit and Runtimes |         somtool
           +-------------------------------------------+

IBM announces, in the United States and Canada, the first professional
programming tools incorporating IBM's System Object Model (SOM) and
Distributed System Object Model (DSOM) technologies. These technologies,
which are part of the SOMobjects (TM) Developer Toolkit, will
dramatically change the way programming is done today.

For years, object-oriented programming (OOP) has been touted as the wave
of the future, with the potential to allow programmers to develop
higher-quality applications more quickly, with reusable software
components. Unfortunately, major hurdles have prevented OOP from being
widely accepted. The primary obstacle has been the inability to share
software objects across different programming languages.

Now objects can be defined across multiple languages. SOMobjects tools
solves the problems caused by today's language-specific libraries that
cannot be shared or extended beyond their own language domains.
SOMobjects allows professional programmers to easily create
"language-neutral" software components that may be accessed or modified
by any one of several popular programming languages. There's no more
need to recompile apps due to implementation changes. Just reuse the
objects, and save time and money!

In addition, the inclusion of Distributed SOM (DSOM) in SOMobjects
enables developers to create distributed object-oriented programs that
can run on several key operating system platforms.

SOMobjects is the foundation for IBM's multiplatform distributed object
computing environment, supporting the Common Object Request Broker
Architecture (CORBA) of the Object Management Group (OMG) (R), including
local and distributed support.

To Order
--------

For additional information, or to order SOMobjects products, call
1-800-3IBMOS2 (1-800-342-6672) within the U.S., or 1-800-465-7999 within
Canada.

Here is some text from the SOMobjects announcement.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

IBM SOMobjects Developer Toolkit, Workstation Runtimes, Workgroup
Runtimes Version 2.0 for OS/2

SOMobjects Developer Toolkit for OS/2 (R) is an object-oriented
programming development product. System Object Model (SOM) technology
and tools help to create object-oriented class libraries. Objects and
classes can be created in one programming language and accessed from a
different programming language.

Language neutrality for objects and class libraries is a unique
differentiator for this Toolkit. Code can be reused to extend beyond
single-language boundaries, making the benefits of object-oriented
programming (OOP) far more open and expansive.

The Toolkit includes language bindings for use with C and C++
programming languages.

SOMobjects for OS/2 is fully compliant with the Common Object Request
Broker Architecture (CORBA) specification of the Object Management Group
(OMG). The Toolkit also provides distributed object capability -- across
processes or address spaces in a single workstation, and across multiple
workgroup nodes in a workgroup LAN configuration. The respective runtime
packages, Workstation Runtimes and Workgroup Runtimes, enable the
execution of SOM-based applications with the described distributed
capabilities.

These SOMobjects products will be available for both OS/2 and AIX (R)
system platforms.

Planned Availability Date: September 30, 1993.
-------------------------

Highlights
----------

IBM SOMobjects gives professional programmers a comprehensive Toolkit
for creating OO class libraries and instances of those classes -- that
is, objects that belong to particular classes -- using SOM and DSOM
technology. Among the product's powerful functions and benefits are:

o  Language-neutral support for the definition, construction, and use of
   OO systems. By defining an application programming interface (API) to
   SOM objects based on simple procedure calls, applications written in
   different programming languages can use a common class library.

o  Upward binary compatibility of SOM class libraries, as dynamic link
   libraries (DLLs) that can be replaced without requiring recompilation
   of application source code, makes it easy for end-users to install
   new releases of system libraries.

o  SOM/IDL Compiler is key to language neutrality, and supports the OMG
   standard Interface Definition Language (IDL). IDL gives individual
   object implementations the means to tell potential clients what
   operations are available, and how they should be invoked. By mapping
   the public and private types for a given SOM class to
   language-specific bindings, the compiler allows SOM objects to be
   used by different programming languages.

o  Distributed SOM supports OMG's CORBA standards. Workstation DSOM
   provides support for cross-process and cross-address transparent
   access to objects in a single-system environment. Workgroup DSOM
   enables you to define or access objects remotely in a distributed
   workgroup local area network configuration across supported platforms
   (for example, OS/2 to AIX/6000 (TM)).

o  Language bindings for C and C++ allow programmers in those languages
   to use SOM objects and create new SOM object classes with ease. Other
   SOM bindings may be available from language vendors.

o  Replication Framework makes copies of a single object available
   concurrently to multiple clients, and maintains consistency among the
   copies, with updates to any one copy automatically reflected in all
   other copies. It's especially useful for collaborative applications
   when you need updated information instantly. Fault tolerance is
   provided to ensure object integrity in the event of a node failure.

o  Persistence Framework allows you to save and restore SOM objects to
   and from a repository that can be a file system, database, or object
   database. You can also change to another format (for example, Lotus
   (R) to Excel (TM)).

o  Emitter Framework produces an output file representing part or all of
   an object interface definition -- structured to minimize effort,
   improve quality, and simplify maintenance -- making it easy to
   develop additional language bindings for SOM.

o  Collection Classes Framework gives programmers such frequently needed
   data structures as lists, sets, queues, and dictionaries, and lets
   them inherit from and use these SOM classes in applications with no
   need to recode or retest the functions.

o  Workstation Runtimes, for OS/2 or AIX/6000, enables the execution of
   SOM-based applications in a single-machine environment.

o  Workgroup Runtimes, for OS/2 or AIX/6000, enables the execution of
   SOM-based applications across a multiple-node workgroup LAN
   distributed environment.

A major benefit of these products is the enabling of true binary
"black-box software reuse." It makes a software-components industry not
only feasible but practicable.

The Toolkit is enabled for national language translation (separate
files) and for the double-byte character set (DBCS). In addition to
English, this version of the Toolkit will also be available in Japanese,
with translated menus, messages, and documentation.

              | Supporting DATABASE 2 OS/2 (DB2/2) |            db22supt
              +------------------------------------+

Do you currently provide support for IBM Extended Services (TM) Database
Manager (ES DBM)? Would you like to know what is entailed in extending
your support to DATABASE 2 (TM) OS/2? The short answer is: not much!

Existing ES DBM applications will continue to run against DB2/2 (TM)
Version 1 servers without the need for recompilation or relinking. This
is brought about through "thunking" support. Thunks are layers of code
necessary to convert from a 16-bit context to a 32-bit context, and vice
versa. DB2/2 Version 1 also supports the continued development of
applications using the 16-bit Microsoft (R) C Compiler Version 6.0 and
Micro Focus (TM) COBOL Compiler Version 3.0. Thunks will not be
provided, however, for any new interfaces created exclusively for use by
the 32-bit DB2/2 V1.

ES DBM supports the development of 32-bit applications using IBM C
Set/2. When you migrate these 32-bit applications for use with DB2/2
V1, although it is not required, we recommend that the applications be
recompiled and relinked so that they can access the new DB2/2 V1
interfaces directly to improve performance.

As for clients: DB2/2 V1 accepts requests from ES DBM clients.
Additionally, DB2/2 clients can access DBM servers.

As a bonus, applications currently using the ES DBM or DB2/2 V1 products
can also access DB2/6000 (TM) data. Applications running on these
platforms can act as clients to DB2/6000. This access is transparent and
does not require changes to existing applications.

Professional software developers interested in the DB2/2 Developer
Assistance Program can ask for the enrollment package by calling
1-800-627-8363 within the U.S. and Canada; from elsewhere, send a fax to
1-817-961-8410.

More than 25 software solution providers have announced they will
support IBM DATABASE 2 OS/2 (DB2/2) in 1993. The companies participated
in a Developer Assistance Program, sponsored by IBM Programming Systems
(PRGS), which developed DB2/2. The program is designed to secure
feedback from professional developers, and to provide those developers
with an opportunity to enhance their products with support of DB2/2.

"DB2/2 is a leader in LAN RDBMS (relational database management systems)
price/performance, and provides sophisticated database management,
connectivity, and networking," said Anu Shukla, vice president of
worldwide marketing, Uniface Corporation, a participant in the ESP.
"Uniface found it very straightforward to build an interface which takes
full advantage of DB2/2 features. We expect that the combination of
DB2/2 and UNIFACE will enable organizations to quickly and easily build
and deploy enterprise client/server applications."

Professional software developers interested in the DB2/2 Developer
Assistance Program should call 1-800-627-8363 within the U.S. and

          | List of OS/2 2.x-Compatible Hardware Devices |       devadpt
          +----------------------------------------------+

IBM Personal Software Products publishes a list of IBM's and Independent
Hardware Vendors' hardware devices and adapters that were tested and
found to be compatible with OS/2 2.0, OS/2 2.0 Service Pak, or OS/2 2.1.
The tables in the list indicate which release of OS/2 was tested for
compatibility. Support of the listed devices and adapters will continue
into subsequent releases of OS/2 unless otherwise indicated in the list.
The tables also indicate when a vendor provides support for a listed
device.

Not all the products listed were tested by IBM; many were tested by the
Independent Hardware Vendors or third parties.

Many of the products listed require device drivers that are not included
with OS/2. Availability and support of such drivers normally takes place
through the Independent Hardware Vendors or third parties.

The 24 May 1993 issue of the OS/2 Device/Adapter Compatibility List has
21 pages of tables, grouped into the following categories:

o  Display Adapters
o  Disk and SCSI Adapters
o  SCSI CD-ROM Drives
o  SCSI Adapters Tested for Use with Above SCSI CD-ROM Drives
o  OS/2 Miscellaneous Storage Support
o  Keyboards
o  Pointing Devices

                      +----------------------------+

Distributed systems are among the fastest-growing areas in the software
industry today, and 32-bit OS/2 is a powerful foundation for developing
and managing the state-of-the-art applications your customers want to
run in their distributed environments.

IBM offers OS/2 LAN Systems Workshops to give developers hands-on,
in-depth training to assist them in designing, creating, and managing
distributed applications.

Two workshops focus on the Distributed Computing Environment (DCE),
which was developed by the Open Software Foundation (OSF (TM)) to
provide services for producing secure client/server applications. In
the third workshop, participants learn how to develop applications using
IBM OS/2 LAN NetView (R) products for managing systems and resources
across local-area networks.

If you're ready to exploit the power and sophistication of 32-bit OS/2
in a distributed environment, enroll in a LAN Systems Workshop today!

OS/2 DCE for Software Developers Workshop, 5 days
-------------------------------------------------

The Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) was developed by the Open

                +-------------------------------------+
                | Colorado OS/2 Developers Conference |           colos2
                | 31 October through 5 November 1993  |
                |   Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA   |
                +-------------------------------------+

NOTE: This information was furnished by Wayne Kovsky, producer of this
conference.

The second International Colorado OS/2 Developers Conference
(ColoradOS/2 (TM)) will be held in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA, from
31 October through 5 November 1993.

This conference is devoted entirely and exclusively to OS/2 programming,
and it provides a rare opportunity to meet and learn from the top OS/2
technical experts. Many of the speakers were or are responsible for the
architecture or design of major features of OS/2, while other speakers
are among the emerging leaders in developing commercial OS/2
applications.

Who Should Attend?
------------------

Software engineers who are designing and writing OS/2 applications, or
who plan to do so, are the primary audience for this conference.
Consultants, software architects, independent developers, technical
managers, technical educators, and hobbyist programmers will all find
something of interest here. Attendees should be moderately experienced
programmers who are comfortable with at least one of the following
languages: C or C++, Smalltalk (TM), or assembly language for the 80x86
family. Planned technical sessions range from introductory to highly
advanced. Even the most experienced OS/2 programmers will learn many new
things at this conference, while programmers who are new to OS/2 can
accomplish, during a single week, what would otherwise require months of
tedious trial and error on their own.

What Topics are Covered?
------------------------

Some sessions focus on the transition from DOS or Windows programming
to OS/2, while others focus on the transition from 16-bit to 32-bit
programming. Many of the sessions are of particular interest to
Presentation Manager (R) programmers, because we provide detailed
information about programming the new PM controls introduced with OS/2
version 2.0. Object-oriented programming is also a focus of this
conference, including sessions on Workplace Shell (WPS) and System
Object Model (SOM) programming, C Set++ (TM) and the User Interface
Class Library, and Smalltalk/V PM.  In addition, sessions on REXX, IPMD,
OS/2 Device Driver development, multi-threaded programming techniques,
client/server programming, Extended Services, Communications Manager,
and many more will provide the most extensive technical coverage of OS/2
ever put together in a single conference.

Featured Speakers
-----------------

John Soyring, Director of Software Developer Programs in IBM's Personal
Software Products division, is the keynote speaker. John is well known
in OS/2 circles for his tireless efforts to help OS/2 developers. Bjarne
Stroustrup of AT&T Bell Laboratories, who is the creator of C++, is also
a featured speaker, as is Mike Kogan, architect of OS/2.

Where is it Held?
-----------------

ColoradOS/2 takes place at the Cheyenne Mountain Conference Resort in
Colorado Springs, Colorado. Cheyenne is devoted exclusively to hosting
conferences. Nestled near Cheyenne Mountain just west of Colorado
Springs, Cheyenne is a beautiful place to stay, with mountain views from
every room. Daily lunches and coffee breaks are provided as part of the
conference cost.

How Much Does it Cost?
----------------------

Early registration (prior to 30 August 1993) is 995 USD per person,
while standard registration on or after 30 August 1993 is 1295 USD per
person. Three or more standard registrations received from the same
corporate location at the same time receive a 100 USD per person
discount, to 1195 USD per person. Room rates at Cheyenne Mountain
Conference Resort are 75 USD per night, with no additional charge for
family members.

How can I Register?
-------------------

To register immediately, call 1-800-648-5717 within the U.S.; elsewhere,
call 1-719-576-4600. Tell the telephone receptionist you want to
register for ColoradOS/2 in November. Telephone hours are Monday through
Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Mountain time (0730 to 1700 GMT minus 7
hours). Credit cards accepted are American Express, Carte Blanche,
Diners Club, Discover, MasterCard, and VISA.

Checks or money orders (no purchase orders) payable in U.S. funds are
also acceptable. Actual receipt of payment, not date of telephoned
registration, determines whether discounts apply.

To Find Out More
----------------

If you subscribe to OS/2 Professional magazine, you'll receive a
brochure in the mail with complete details around mid-July. The full
text of that brochure will also be uploaded to CompuServe's OS2DF1
forum, to library 15 (Open Forum) around mid-June.  Look for a file
named COLOS2.ZIP, which contains both an encapsulated PostScript file
that can be printed only on a PostScript printer, and an ordinary text
file that can be viewed with a text editor or printed. Finally, you can
request to be put on the mailing list for a brochure by calling
1-719-481-3389, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Mountain

         +------------------------------------------------+

The OS/2 2.0 Presentation Manager is the component that manages the
computer display, making it easy to select screen-related services for
utilities and applications. Cirrus Technology has taken document image
management to that higher level as well, gaining power and flexibility
in the OS/2 32-bit multitasking environment. Unite 2.0 provides
increased productivity, manageability, and accessibility to critical
business documents and information. In order to communicate the virtues
of Unite 2.0 and OS/2, Cirrus Technology participates in several
software developer marketing programs offered by IBM.

Beth Durkee of Cirrus Technology has developed a comprehensive marketing
program for Unite 2.0. Included are product descriptions in the IBM OS/2
Applications Directory and the OS/2 Application Demonstration CD-ROM.
She noted that they have received over 150 leads from cooperative
advertising placed last fall centering around COMDEX/Fall '92. She is
also very pleased with the attendance at her company's exhibits with
OS/2 Tour '93, a two-day event touring throughout the country offering
introductory overviews and technical sessions on OS/2.

Ms. Durkee indicated that Cirrus will be included in the updated IBM
Solutions Pak, thus taking advantage of the 300,000+ distribution of the
book. Bundled with each U.S. OS/2 Version 2 and IBM personal computer
products preloaded with OS/2 Version 2, the Solutions Pak offers OS/2
users special promotions from a large variety of OS/2 software
applications. Ms. Durkee will be able to track responses via direct
response cards requesting product information.
