Subject:	SCOUG-General: SCOUG meeting Feb. 16: Guiffy

Content Type: text/plain

The next meeting of the Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG)
will be this Saturday, February 16, 2002 at 9:15 AM PST, at Regal Lanes
in Orange, 1485 N. Tustin Ave.

Guiffy

What's in a name (pronounced Goofy)? In this case, a lot! Guiffy stands
for GUI diFF & suremerge 2-or-3-waY tool, and this month, the tool's
author, Bill Ritcher, will be on hand to show us all that it can do.
In simple terms, Guiffy is a compare and merge utility for source files,
folders, and file trees. It's Java based, which handily makes it cross-
platform. It's fast, too.

Not a programmer? Think you don't need it? Come take a look anyway.
Ever wonder what you changed in CONFIG.SYS? Guiffy can find the
differences and display them, even for those really long PATH/DPATH/
LIBPATH lines. Better yet, it can help you remove some of the
differences while keeping the rest. To make this even better, Bill
will be offering a club discount for copies purchased at the meeting.
Still not sure? Well, members might even win a copy at the award-
winning SCOUG raffle.

We begin at 9:15 AM after some socializing with announcements, the
presentation, and then a break for more socializing. Follow that with
a SIG presentation or two and we're done around 12:30 PM. Don't forget
that we'll also have Q&A when folks share their tribulations and
solutions, and the aforementioned raffle. The donuts and coffee are
free.

OS/2 Help Desk and Networking SIG, March 3rd, 2002, 2 PM PST, Chapman
University in Orange:

Should you be in need of technical assistance, take your problem - and
your system - to the in-person OS/2 Help Desk that's held once a month
at Chapman University. SCOUG volunteers will help you work it all out.

While you're at the in-person Help Desk, find out what the Networking
SIG is doing. If networking isn't part of your current strategy, it
will be eventually. The SIG meets at the same time and place, and
pursues issues related to network configurations and problem solutions.

How to get to Regal Lanes:

From the 55 freeway, exit Katella Ave. heading west. Turn right (north)
at the first major intersection onto Tustin Ave. At the next signal
you'll find Regal Lanes on your right. It's across from the Toyota of
Orange dealership.

There's lots of parking on the south side of the building. Enter from
the east entrance of the building (farthest from Tustin Ave.), not the
main (front) entrance to the facility. Take the stairs to the 2nd
floor; meeting rooms (and restrooms) will be on your left.

Handicapped access is via an elevator by the front door.

OR: Go to http://www.scoug.com/directions.html; there is a map to Regal
Lanes, plus a more detailed map & driving directions from Yahoo!

How to get to Chapman University:

There are two ways to get directions:
1) Go to http://www.scoug.com/warpexpowest/sitemap.html
2) Go to http://www.mapquest.com/ and enter the address 400 N. Center
Street, Orange, CA.

You can park in any of the University lots for free on Sundays, but if
you part on the street, watch the signs carefully or else risk getting
a parking ticket.

Come to Hashinger Hall Science Building, room 203. It's on the second
floor and there's an elevator for you to bring up your equipment.

Come and join us!
