SCOUG Money Scramble
SCOUG Presenter Attacks Audience With George Washingtons

The audience at the Saturday meeting of The Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG) got one big surprise: handfuls and handfuls of real dollar bills thrown about the assembly hall by the guest
presenter, who then lectured on his methods of using OS/2 for computerized stock market investing.

"We've never had a meeting like this one" said one SCOUG member who drove for an hour to attend. "We had money literally raining down on our heads. Everybody got some."

The presentation was given in two sections during the four-hour meeting. First, the complete investment system was block diagrammed on white boards and each block was discussed, along with the specific requirements for each. The system software components were described, including custom software plus two inexpensive commercial OS/2 programs -- Mesa 2 for analysis and data presentation and DBExpert for maintaining the databases.

Then, in the second half of the presentation, the formulas, terms and software rules for the OS/2 system were detailed.

Both sessions included lots of question-and-answer time, including several questions about the compilers used for the custom software.
Also of keen interest to the audience was the real-time data feed capability of Mesa 2 and the simultaneous support of multiple databases by DBExpert.


SCOUG welcomes all OS/2 users to their monthly General and SIG meetings. Admission is always free. Mark your calendar for the third Saturday of every month, and come to SCOUG. Visit:
