Description: SOUG is dedicated to promoting the use and
understanding of OS/2 in Saskatoon. Also, we are hoping to
provide a core support group for new and experienced users to
turn to for help. Currently SOUG is mainly an online users
group. A local BBS, The Fiddler's Green which is run by one of
the co-founders, hosts a message base for discussion about OS/2.
This allows local users to access help and news between meetings,
and allows new users to ask questions about the group without
actually attending meetings.
