Exploring New Territory with OmniMark V3
OMUG '96 will be the event that nobody wants to miss. The new OmniMark
Version 3 is an exciting quantum leap forward that will provide fantastic
opportunities for OmniMark programmers and their organizations. Previews of
an OmniMark V3 application demonstration at spring tradeshows were met with
enthusiasm. Whole new classes of application are envisioned for this
exciting technology. Don't miss this chance to meet with the developers of
OmniMark and fellow OmniMark users.
The annual OmniMark User Group Meeting will be held on Sunday, November
17th, 1996 in Boston, Massachusetts. As at OMUG last year, technology
tutorials will be presented on Saturday, November 16th. OMUG '96 precedes
the SGML '96 conference being held November 18th to 22nd.
OMUG '96, including the technology tutorials, is a FREE event sponsored by
Omnimark Technologies. You do not need to be an OmniMark licensee to attend.
Attendence at OMUG has been increasing every year since its inception in
1993. Last year attendance topped 140. Each year, OMUG gives attendees the
chance to expand their knowledge of OmniMark so that they can plan new
projects and learn about the new opportunities that the technology offers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is OMUG?
The OmniMark User Group (OMUG) is an Omnimark Technologies-sponsored forum
providing a peer support network for OmniMark users and programmers for
development and exchange of tips, techniques, ideas and applications
relating to OmniMark. The OmniMark User Group internet mailing list (OMUG-L)
and the annual meeting fall under OMUG's umbrella. You do not need to be an
OmniMark licensee to attend the meeting or participate in online
discussions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Main Event Program
On Sunday November 17th, the main OMUG event takes place. Presenters from
the user base will discuss their innovative uses of OmniMark, and Omnimark
Technologies will present detailed information on OmniMark V3 and its
