Subject:	SCOUG-General: SCOUG Meeting January 19: APL2 and AWK

Content Type: text/plain

The next meeting of the Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG)
will be next Saturday, January 19, 2002 at 9:00 AM PST, at Regal Lanes
in Orange, 1485 N. Tustin Ave.

APL2 and AWK

APL (A Programming Language) has been described as the mother of all
array-based numerical programs. The OS/2 version - APL2 - has extensive
numerical capabilites, and SCOUG member Zdenek (Denny) Jizba will tell
us all about them. Denny is a PhD geophysicist who did research for
many years at Chevron, and in that capacity he became quite an expert in
APL. We'll get a short summary of the current state of usage of APL and
its' dialects. We'll also learn about APL's main features and see some
demos. Should be interesting and informative for math fanatics and
novices alike.

There's always time for Q&A, raffle, and free donuts and coffee. Then
SIG-wise, we'll continue with Greg Smith who will talk about AWK as a
quick scripting language for OS/2. Start the new year out right by
attending SCOUG's first meeting of 2002!

OS/2 Help Desk and Networking SIG, February 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!
