SCOUG Presents: Open Watcom To Accelerate OS/2 Development

The Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG) proudly
presents one of the Open Watcom team members at its Saturday
June 15 meeting.

"We are thrilled, absolutely thrilled to have an Open
Watcom core developer and team partner come and speak to us"
says Steven Levine, SCOUG Programming SIG Leader. "The new
Open Watcom compiler is arguably the best tool available for
creating robust future-generation OS/2 software. It's free
and it's open source. Open Watcom breathes new life into
OS/2 development."

The Open Watcom representative will cover OS/2 development,
porting software from other platforms including from Windows
and Linux, developing custom DLLs, available libraries of
existing functions and subroutines, templates, linking
modules together, the various files that programmers must
create when developing large projects, writing "make" files
and how to convert them from other systems, available GUI
and graphics routines, writing cross-platform code, the
development environment, and where to get manuals, source
code and online help.

"Open Watcom is an outstanding way to write OS/2
programs" says SCOUG member Harry Chris Motin, author of

Open Watcom - Getting Started
(http://www.scoug.com/os24u/2002/scoug204.watcom.html)

"I've already written several programs with it. It's fast,
it's accurate and it shows off the power that we all expect
from OS/2. I look forward to meeting one of the developers
from Open Watcom!"

A free CD containing Open Watcom will be distributed to
all attendees.

Do not miss this very special presentation by one of the
Open Watcom team members. Saturday June 15 at 9:15 a.m.
