SEPTEMBER "OS/2 CONNECT" NEWSLETTER RELEASED

PALM HARBOR, FLORIDA (August 13, 1996) - M. Bryce & Associates, Inc. (MBA)
today announced the release of the September issue of OS/2 CONNECT, a freeware
newsletter distributed through the various computer networks and bulletin
boards.

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

The newsletter is implemented as an INF file suitable for use with the
standard "View" utility (VIEW.EXE) built into OS/2 2.x (or higher). The file
is named CON0996.ZIP (except in Japan where it is labeled as CON0996J.ZIP) and
contains the following sections:

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).
