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.
