ANNOUNCEMENT
 
IBM PSP Worldwide Developer Assistance Program
April 26, 1994  San Francisco, CA
 
The IBM Personal Software Products Worldwide Developer
Assistance Program is proud to announce a worldwide file
repository on the Internet.
 
The Internet, with uncounted millions of users, is by far
the world's largest connected network.  To better serve the
development community the IBM Worldwide Developer Assistance
Program is responding to the many requests for support
through the Internet.  Tools, utilities, and information are
now available on the "information superhighway" for all DAP
members around the world.
 
The DAP Internet site, called "The DAP Information Library,"
includes the following file bases:
 
DAPTOOLS LIBRARY Restricted Software - These tools,
utilities, demos, and sample code are available only to
members of IBM's Worldwide Developer Assistance Programs.
Popular tools include PHOENIX2 (a FAT and HPFS unerase
utility), DEBUGO (A terminal debug program), MRFILEPM (file
manager), and many, many more exclusive tools.
 
EWS - This is a shadow of the IBM Employee Written Software
file collection.  This library contains many tools and
utilities of general interest and some tools specifically
for developers.  Tools include MSHELL and TSHELL
(installable shells for OS/2), TINYED (an OS/2 text editor),
and many more.
 
DAPLIB - The DAPLIB will keep developers up-to-date with the
latest announcements and useful information for DAP members.
Until now these programs have been available only to DAP
members with access to CompuServe and to Premier/Commercial
DAP members.
 
The DAP Information Library is a private repository, but
access is easy to get!  It is open to all Worldwide DAP
members.
