The next meeting of the Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG)
will be this Saturday, May 18, 2002 at 9:15 AM PDT, at Regal Lanes
in Orange, 1485 N. Tustin Ave.
Creating HTML Tables with REXX
Tables are a great layout tool in HTML documents. They give you
control over alignment and space that can't be beat. But creating
tables can be tedious and frustrating, especially as they get larger
and more complicated. Sheridan George has a way to avoid the pitfalls
of HTML table creation -- he uses REXX!
Sheridan has found that taking the time to write a REXX program is easier
in the long run than hand-composing a HTML table, or even using a tool
such as Netscape Composer. At our May meeting he is going to share
with us some real-world examples he uses in his teaching. First, a
quick overview of Netscape Composer and basic HTML will get us all up
to speed. We'll see several examples, from simple to quite complex
tables, and the REXX scripts that Sheridan wrote to create them.
To top it all off, Sheridan will also demonstrate how he used REXX to
translate the names and addresses of his students from the fixed field
export format of a label-printing program to an XML vocabulary. (For
those of us who might not know, he'll even give a short lesson on what
constitutes a XML vocabulary.)
Sheridan's presentations are always appreciated, and this one should be
no exception.
In addition, we'll have Q&A, free coffee and donuts, and lots of
comradery. And of course our raffle.
Help Desk chats are on Wednesday evenings at 7 PM PDT. If you've got a
problem with hardware or software, join the chat and ask for help.

OS/2 Help Desk and Networking SIG, June 2nd, 2002, 2 PM PDT, Chapman
University in Orange:
SCOUG's in-person OS/2 Help Desk is held once a month at Chapman
University, in room 203 of the Hashinger Hall Science building. SCOUG
volunteers are there to help you work through your hardware and software
problems.
While you're at the in-person Help Desk, take a look at what the Networking
SIG is doing. It meets at the same time and place, so it's convenient
to do both. What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon each month!
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!
