*** JANUARY 23rd MEETING AGENDA ***
-- Bart van Leeuwen's Poor Man's PDF --

Happy New Year to all! We send our best wishes for the new year to all OS/2 users, with the hope that they will continue to use and enjoy their reliable OS/2 systems, of whatever vintage, during this new year 2002 and on into the foreseeable future.

News of the recent demise of the New York City OS/2 User Group was received here with great sorrow. A special invitation is extended to all former NYC OS/2 members and other OS/2 users in the NYC metro area to affiliate with the Philadelphia OS/2 UG by subscribing to our 2 list servers: the POSEIDON announcement list and the PHILLYOS2 2-way discussion list. Interested folks should send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

The January meeting will feature a presentation/demonstration by Larry of Poor Man's PDF, a rather remarkable program authored by Bart van Leeuwen, an OS/2 user/developer in Belgium. PMPDF is all the more remarkable because it's only 20 lines of code.

PMPDF brings the capabilities of Adobe Acrobat Distiller to the OS/2 platform by the use of GhostScript. PMPDF enables the easy and simple creation of .PDF files from OS/2 applications which support standard OS/2 PM printer interface, such as Netscape and Warpzilla Web browsers, IBM Works, Lotus Smartsuite, etc. These .PDF files may then be read and printed by the Acrobat Reader.

PMPDF may be downloaded from ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/pmpdf. Special install instructions will be discussed at the meeting.

Other agenda items include U/G business items, OS/2 news, new releases, Q&A session and raffles. The usual free refreshments will also be available.

Mark the date and time: Wednesday, January 23rd, at 7:00pm.
OS/2 meetings are open and free for OS/2 users, their guests and others interested in learning about OS/2 and associated technologies. We have a very full agenda, so also please try to be on time promptly by 7:00pm.

Further information, directions to Episcopal Academy, and other useful information about the OS/2 U/G activities may be found on our web site at http://www.phillyos2.org, or contact U/G Leader Larry Lavins:
