SCOUG OS/2 For You - July 1998

On the web, content is king. Far more important than glitzy graphics, content makes people come back again and again.
Let's see how this month's chosen web sites measure up:

Ratings			Info
Content	Links	Glitz	Type	Site (url) and Comments
A	A-	A	OS/2	Rat's OS/2 Palace (http://www.concentric.net/~Ratfish/). This guy's personal site is better than many commercial ones. Take a look.
A	B+	C-	Software	Roman's Home Page (http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Pines/7885/). Roman Stangl is an OS/2 coder and writer. The popup Geocities ads are horrendous, but plow through them and check out his Program Commander/2 and other efforts.
B	F	C-	MPEG Audio	PM123 (http://www.teamos2.sci.fi/pm123/). MPEG audio player with plenty of extras --- tone, spectrum analyzer, lots more. Download it, try it.
A+	F	B-	OS/2 Tools	Henk's Homepage (http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/hkelder/). OS/2 drivers to read FAT32 formatted partitions (yes they work). Workplace shell backup and restore. Association editor.
A-	F	B	OS/2	Large OS/2 Customers List (http://rover.wiesbaden.netsurf.de/~meile/los2cl.html). Want an adrenalin shot? See who the driving corporate forces are behind OS/2.
B	F	B+	Software	Perez Computing Services (http://www.pcs-soft.com/). Home of the popular Ctrl-Alt-Del Commander and several other utilities.
F	F	A+	Beach Party	Bikini.com (http://www.bikini.com/). Subtitle says "The World's Biggest Beach Party!", but who's using their eyes to read?
B+	F	B	Video	Video Device Drivers and Information (Norloff's OS/2 BBS.COM) (http://www.os2bbs.com/Download/vdrivers.html). So you're putting together a machine from spare parts, and you need a driver for the video card? Try here.
B+	C	B	MIDI	MIDI at Warp Speed with OS/2 (http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Horizon/6780/). MIDI Station Sequencer and MIDI Station, plus RTMIDI setup.
B-	D	B	Software	JMA Software Technologies (http://www.jmast.se/). A browser, a boot utility to swap CONFIG.SYS and .DLL files, and some free source code.
