Now available:    TVKit/2 Version 1.01

If you use OS/2 and own a Movie Machine II or FPS60 Video Overlay Board or
think of buying one, you will need OS/2 software for it.

TVKit/2 contains native OS/2 software for these Video Overlay Boards. It
supports watching TV with IBM's WarpTV, teletext (information broadcast by
your TV stations) and video image overlaying from external video sources such as cameras or VCR's.

TVKit/2 includes the following software
* MMPM OS/2 driver that supports WarpTV.
* Teletext/2, a native OS/2 application to receive and display teletext
  Features:
     * Save/load of teletext pages
     * Copy image/text to clipboard
     * A teletext cache that continually loads pages while you are reading the
       current one. The cache reduces the usual long load times. Browse
       through teletext many times faster than you can with your TV set.

* Ticker/2, a REXX programmable tickerline
  Features:
     * text and bitmaps scroll on your screen
     * variable size bitmaps and text supported
     * REXX programmable
* Teletext REXX API
  This is especially useful with Ticker/2. Use the Teletext to retrieve the
  latest stock quotes or news headlines and display them on the ticker.

Download the DEMO from
    Compuserve: GO CIS:FAST, Library "3rd Party/misc", OS/2 Drivers/Teletext V1.01

                http://www.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/drivers/mmpm2/index.html

The DEMO is a fully functional version except for a 30 minute time limit. The
driver will stop working 30 minutes after its first activation. You will have
to reboot before you can continue to use the driver. Nothing else is affected.

The Ticker/2 is also available as a separate product.
