We are just embarking on a simillar evaluation; We have very little direct
experience yet, but would be very interested in hearing any feed-back YOU get.

So far, we have (pre-beta) copies of Lotus Notes v3 installed on Mac's and pc's;
Unix version coming soon...
Lotus' consulting group has given a number of training sessions here, and we
are just starting out prototyping apps and evaluating the systems' admin
impact... it looks hairy, but the payoff looks worth it!

Unless things have changed since autumn 1992, then I am not sure that 
Lotus Notes is designed to handle more formal worksflows well.

We had a good look at the functions and found that it was missing 
monitoring process times, escalation generically through the 
organisation (if he takes too long dealing with this case, signal his 
manager), split & join parallel activities etc.

Of course, we could have implemented these functions, but then it 
would have been OUR implementation, and not the standard Lotus 
implementation which future Notelets would use.

I may be wrong, I which case I am very interested of your experiences, 
or I may have the wrong definition of workflow processing, in which 
case I stand to be corrected.

Regards,
/Mike

In search of: a real-time shared drawing tool

I am working on my PhD research on the design of learning environments for
cooperative learning at a distance, which means that groups of three adult
learners are collaboratively working on a problem solving task. I want to
study the effects (on learning outcomes and processes) of supporting their
work with a tool for collaborative creation of drawings and schemes, 
additionally to communication through audio-conferencing.

What I need for this, is software that enables this collaborative drawing,
specifically:
- real-time interaction,
- a cursor on the screen for each participant (there are 3 of them),
- if possible: input from more than one person at the same moment.
I am searching for software that either does the whole thing, or that 
enables real-time work on (drawing) applications that may not be specially
designed for collaborative work.

For the research purpose, it does not have to bridge long distances. 
Implementations on a DOS/Windows or Macintosh environment are preferred 
(since that's what we have available here).

Is there someone out there who can help me?
Thanks in advance!

I see that Dave Kosiur has already pointed to Saul Greenberg's
bibliography.  In addition to being on-line, versions were
published in the July 1991 SIGCHI Bulletin and in the collection
of papers that Saul edited, Computer-supported Cooperative Work
and Groupware (Academic Press, 1991).

With respect to formatting, it might be nice to be consistent
with a very large bibliogrpahy on human-computer interaction
compiled by Gary Perlman with partial support from SIGCHI.
Information about HCIBIB can also be found in the July 1991
SIGCHI Bulletin.  I believe you can register for it by sending
a message to hcibib@cis.ohio-state.edu with a two-line message,
the first saying
Register:
and the second containing your email address.

To be complete there is information on another HCI bibliography
project organized (or organised) by Brian Shackel in England in
the July 1992 SIGCHI Bulletin.

Steve Poltrock and I have a small but more human-readable
bibliography providing the tables of contents of CSCW conferences
and edited book collections, along with contact information for
some groupware prototypes and products, in MS Word (Macintosh)
format.  I could send it via email in RTF or binhex format to
anyone who would like it.  (It also provides some information
as to where conference papers were later published in extended
versions and lists some published reviews of conferences.)

A recent article pointed out that home cable providers have an unrealized
opportunity for expanded services.  They mentioned that a camcorder was a
picturephone input device and the TV a picturephone output device, potentially.

Also mentioned was that portable phones could link into the cable
data/information transport, as well as personal computers, FAX, etc.

Saul Greenberg at the University of Calgary has long been running an 
Annotated Bibliography of CSCW. The bibliography is quite complete and is 
available in electronic form (via ftp) as either an EndNote database, Refer 
database or a Microsoft Word doc.

The files can be ftp'd by anonymous ftp from cpsc.ucalgary.ca in the

Hi,

is there anobody, who has integrated Ghostscript as PS-Printer for OS/2.

I think of something like: Conifgure PS-Printer with no LPTn, but ouput to
a file; test every n seconds if there is something in the file, if yes,
start Ghostscript.

Problem is to synchronize the printing and Ghostscript; perhaps it's good
to use a Named-Pipe (possible ?).

Please post or send suggestions !

I need some help.  I'm trying to install the 2.1 beta, and having very
little luck.  I get through the actual install with no problem.  I just
can't start the system.  Whenever I boot, everything proceeds as normal
until PM starts.  I get a blank screen with the "wait" cursor.  The disk
thrashes like mad for a few seconds, then everything stops.  The cursor
still tracks the mouse, but nothing else happenes.  No disk activity.  No
response from the keyboard.  All that works is the BRS.  Do I have bad
images?  Flakey hardware?  In case it helps, I'm running an IBM PS/2 mod 80
with 12 MB, 2 70Meg ESDI drives, IBM SCSI adaptor with a Toshiba 3100 CD-ROM,
IBM 3270 card, IBM Dual Async card, IBM Token ring card, and IBM 8514/A.
I've pulled all the extraneous cards  (T/R, 3270, SCSI) to no effect.
Any ideas?

Summary: what is c0000005 while booting?
Keywords: os/2 halt failure c0000005

My OS/2 2.0, from the official distribution and unmodified
now dies while booting.

At the end, it prints c0000005 and then stops completely.

And now it won't boot from floppy disks, either.
When it asks for disk one, the light never goes out,
it doesn't do anything if I put disk one in.
Even ctrl-alt-del won't get it out.

The only change made recently is a replacement of the
VGA card, but it has worked since then.  This is the
first try with the floppies since the VGA change.
The old VGA died.

I presume the c0000005 is an error code, but I don't
know where to look it up.

Thanks for any help.  email reply prefered.

I'd be really surprised if they get DOS to mount HPFS.  Considering
that the OS/2 driver (which is 16-bit code also) occupies about 512K
of memory.  It might be smaller if desiged with the assumption of
single-tasking, but that would cripple Windows (the same way FAT does
now!).

They might get an APPLICATION to read the volume, though.  Writing
would be problematic, since OS/2 would sense the changed disk as an
abnormal shutdown and would require you to run CHKDSK on it before
booting again.
