PASUG Mtg: Thurs, Jan 22nd

. PHILADELPHIA ALTERNATE SYSTEMS USER GROUP
http://www.phillyos2.org
The Philadelphia Alternate Systems User Group (PASUG) invites all
interested computer users to attend the January meeting. .
THURSDAY, JANUARY 22, 2004 7:00-10:00PM
. Bryn Mawr Community Center, 9 S. Bryn Mawr Ave, Bryn Mawr,PA .
*** JANUARY 22nd MEETING AGENDA
. -- CSSDIR v.2.0 DIRECTORY/FILE SIFTING TOOL FOR OS2/eCS --
. >>> SPECIAL TREAT:- FRESH HOT PIZZA! <<<

For the first meeting of year 2004, I'm pleased to announce that our guest speaker, Paul Curtis, an OS2/eCS user and developer, will conduct a presentation/demo of his new CSSDIR v.2.0 release, a command-line based, directory/file sifting tool for OS/2 & eCS.

The standard DIR command has changed very little since the birth of OS/2 in the late 1980's, when most work was being done with floppies, and program files were minimal in number. But today, we typically deal with many hundreds or thousands of files, and the DIR capability is too limited to sift through this many files.

CSSDIR's requirements are very minimal. It may be invoked on a freshly booted OS/2 or eCS system via Alt-F1. It's not dependent on the PMSHELL being available, nor on any non-standard DLL's.
A partial list of CSSDIR's many powerful features includes:
- Over 75 user controllable options "CANable" via ini file
- Save frequently used options for easy reuse
- Baseline snapshots for later comparisons & system differences
- Filter files by a size range and an EAsize range
- Duplicate file detection, even named differently!
- Unique files filter over multiple directory trees
- Can apply a set of wildcards over base directories
- Control depth of subDirectory searches
- Reading search requests from batch input files
- Excluding files/directories from searches
- Case sensitive/insensitive text strings searches
- User control over all file fields to display
- Sorting by relative paths amongst multiple requests
- Combining multiple requests into one integrated listing
- Different sorted listings in one pass and invocation
- Computes CRCs on files data and even EAs
- Output can be easily parsed from REXX
- HUGE gathering/sorting requests monitorable even over a LAN
- Summary only report

Paul is a software engineer consultant with 20 years experience, focused on real time embedded systems. Paul lives in the Scranton area, but has been associated with our user group for many years. He can be reached at: http://www.curtisSystemsSoftware.co m.

Other agenda items include announcements, news & new software releases, Q&A session, and 50/50 raffle. Paul also plans to donate a copy of his new CSSDIR release for raffle. And you will also enjoy fresh hot pizza, delivered to our meeting.

InnoTek Open Office Review by Jerry Rash

Jerry will show us what this office suite can do. There's a lot to the suite, and there are some surprising features.

Programming SIG: REXX Parsing by Bob Blair

This one statement can do a lot!

Help Desk chats are on Wednesday evenings at 7 PM PST. If you've got a problem with hardware or software, join the chat and ask for help. Info is at http://www.scoug.com/chat/index.html.

OS/2 Live Help Desk, February 1st, 2004, 2 PM PST, Chapman University in Orange:

At the live OS/2 Help Desk, volunteers will give you hands-on assistance solving your hardware and software problems. It is usually held the first Sunday of the month in cooperation with the OS/2 SIG of the North Orange County Computer Club.

Come to Hashinger Hall Science Building, room 203. It's on the second floor, and there's an elevator to bring up your equipment. Bring your system and all related hardware and software, along with a detailed explanation of your problem.

How to get to the Fountain Valley Library:

From the I-405 freeway, exit Brookhurst St. and go north. Turn right on Slater Ave. Turn right on Los Alamos St.; the library is 1/2 block south of Slater Ave. Or you can get a map at http://www.ocpl.org/25map.asp.

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. The lot off Center near the football field will usually have open spaces. The lot off Walnut is larger, but there's some construction going on. If you park on the street, be careful --- it's illegal to park on the residential side of the streets without a permit.
