The Philadelphia OS/2 User Group invites all interested computer users to attend the April monthly meeting:

. The Episcopal Academy, 376 N. Latches Lane, Merion, PA

. *** APRIL 25th FEATURE PRESENTATION ***
-- PPWIZARD: NATIVE OS/2 REXX TOOL --

The April meeting will continue our REXX activity, but with a somewhat different emphasis. In lieu of our usual REXX tutorial session, REXX guru Barry Mann will conduct a presentation/demo of PPWizard, a cross platform native OS/2 REXX tool that runs on any platform supporting REXX. PPWizard has many useful and valuable features, and provides an excellent vehicle for demonstrating the power and versatility of REXX.

For example, anyone who has maintained a website with more than a few pages is eventually frustrated & overwhelmed by the number of error-prone details that must be managed. The trick is to use a tool such as PPWizard to separate the website style and content. With PPWizard on the job, its a snap to change nagging little details such as an eMail address, phone number, or navigation bar that appear on multiple pages.

This month, using our own phillyos2 website as an example, Barry will discuss the maintenance of websites using native OS/2 tools. For new or budding webmasters, don't worry, there will be a crash course in HTML and using the EPM editor. All levels of webmaster will pick-up some tricks as you look over Barry's shoulder while he walks us through the phillyos2 website. PPWizard will also be equally useful for the editing and maintenance of the personal websites which are made available to subscribers by most ISP's.

Other agenda items include U/G business matters, OS/2 news, Q&A session, new releases & raffles. Free light refreshments.

Philadelphia OS/2 meetings are open and free for OS/2 users, their guests and others interested in learning about OS/2 and associated technologies.
