CON0397.ZIP contains the OS/2 CONNECT Newsletter for March 1997 in
INF file format suitable for use with the standard OS/2 "View" utility 
program (VIEW.EXE).  Requires OS/2 2.x or higher.

NOTE:  Windows users can now view INF files using the new
INF Viewer from SingaLab Pte. Ltd. of Singapore.  Patterned
after the OS/2 VIEW facility, the Windows version provides the 
same functionality.  The utility can be freely obtained from a 
variety of sources:

*  Look for WIN_INF.ZIP on most computer networks and bulletin
   boards.
*  A copy of the product is available in IBM's Hyperwise 
   (see LIBIPFX.EXE).
*  Use the version of the product accompanying "Just Add OS/2
   Warp" (see VIEW.EXE).

Also, IBM PC DOS 7 users can view it under DOS (without pictures)
using the VIEW.EXE supplied with that OS.

In addition to the main INF file, the zip file includes the file,
FILE_ID.DIZ, which is used by BBS Sysops to describe the newsletter.

OS/2 CONNECT is THE authoritative source for contact information
in the universe of IBM's OS/2 32-bit operating system.

There are two ways of implementing and executing the OS/2 "View" program:

1.  Open an OS/2 Window or Full Screen.
    From the command line, type:

    VIEW CON0397.INF

2.  Create a "View" icon on the OS/2 desktop (either Copy an
    existing OS/2 program icon or use the Program Template from 
    the "Productivity" folder).

    Provide the following "settings" for the program:

    Program Settings -
    Path and File Name:   C:\OS2\VIEW.EXE 
                          (or wherever the program is located)
    Optional Parameters:  CON0397.INF
    Working Directory:    enter the drive\directory path where the INF
                          file resides; for example -

                          C:\                
                          or
                          C:\CONNECT

    General Settings -
    Title:  OS/2 CONNECT 

    NOTE:  If you leave the "Optional Parameters" blank, you can drag
           and drop the INF file to your icon.

NOTE:  Windows users can perform the same commands as mentioned
       above by using the "Run" pull-down-choice from the
       Windows Program Manager or by establishing a separate icon.
