GetTZ — Set time zone from environment string.
"GetTZ is a simple command line utility written to solve an annoying problem. Every time change (twice a year), I have to change the time zone in several applications, select settings, find the right page and make the change. This is particularly annoying in mail and news applications because the time stamp on the post/message includes the timezone.
GetTZ parses the environment TZ string (Config.sys SET TZ=) for the timezone, summer time offset and the start and stop times for summer time (daylight savings time for USA). It then sets the current time zone into the appropriate value in the Ini file.
For PMMail and PMINews, I set up a Rexx Exit that calls GetTZ.EXE with the correct parameters each time the program is started.
Note that if you have an application running during the time change it will probably not pick up the altered value from the ini file until restarted."

Normally, the chime clock starts counting when changing the value in the chime window. With the option "related to time", the chime is related to the system time: When starting at 13:15 with an one hour chime, it will beep at 14:15, 15:15 without the "related to time" option. With "related to time" it will beep at 14:00, 15:00."

DATAPAD (PADHD)
"DATAPAD (PADHD) is a "scratch pad" to jot notes in and organize small files into.

At its simplest it is merely a note pad. At it's most it is a great note organizer for students, teachers, programmers ( source code files and examples ), and any one with a lot of information to handle.
DATAPAD (PADHD) will keep up to 1000 records per data file. The record size can be set between 1-30k per data file at creation time OR changed later to suit the users needs. There can be an unlimited number of data files, so the amount that can be stored is unlimited. Each data file will grow and/or shrink as you add or delete records. Their size is not static. Find notes, source code, or any info when you need it, then copy and paste into almost any program to use it! You can also include up to 50 data files in global searches.
DATAPAD (PADHD) can save you hours of time searching your hard drive for files and makes it easy to organize!"

Otherwise, Dialer/2 may not see modem answers, like "BUSY" or "NO CARRIER", so autodial feature will not work."

EuroDial
"EuroDial is a telephone dialer which is designed to address a number of requirements not met elsewhere. For a start, if you're an IBM Works user, you will find EuroDial will constantly dial the telephone! Many users have found that earlier versions of the Phone dialer failed to interface correctly to the modem.
Another design feature is cater to users like myself, who are constantly changing countries of residence. Most software originates in the USA where the concept of foreign countries and borders is not well understood. EuroDial permits you to configure your current country and area code and automatically adjusts the telephone number you want to dial. Thus you do not have to edit your phone book every time your your job takes you across another border.
What EuroDial is not, is a Personal Information Manager. It is a self-contained VX-REXX application which dials the phone from a list of numbers, and nothing more. Hopefully it will be useful to those who need a dialer but do not want to install the entire IBM Works package."

PhoneAttention
"PhoneAttention is a simple program, that has two main purposes. First, it monitors a signal from the modem on the serial port. When a phone is ringing, the modem detects this, even if it isn't in auto answer mode. The PhoneAttention utility displays a PM or Text Pop-Up message whenever the phone is ringing. This is useful if you (like in my case) plug your stereo headphones into your ears and don't hear the phone.
Secondly, PhoneAttention has a phone book. You can select any entry in the phone book and let the modem dial the associated number. You can choose to let the modem try to establish a data connection or just let the modem dial the number, and leave the line open for a voice connection. Note that you can use PhoneAttention to establish a data connection for another communications program, as PhoneAttention doesn't interfere with your normal programs."

"QUE is a job scheduler and queue system for OS/2 2.x. QUE lets you schedule jobs for sequential processing in a queue. You can schedule jobs to be processed repeatedly. QUE has an easy to use command line interface and provides flexible scheduling options.
QUE lets you run jobs (programs, batch files, etc) like the OS/2 START command. However QUE lets you delay processing until a later time and repeatedly process the job at a given interval. Jobs are queued sequentially (by default); If two or more jobs are scheduled together, QUE will only process them one after the other. OS/2's multitasking is great, but starting too many jobs simultaneously may slow down your system unnecessarily.
I use QUE on my BBS to process mail, generate reports and filelists, make out-going mail calls, etc."
