"Multiprocessing With WindowsNT - A Mainstream Alternative to UNIX"

Windows NT is a robust Operating System for the deployment of 
mission critical business and technical applications on both INTEL and 
RISC uni- and multi-processor computer systems.

Microsoft's Stawsh Murawski and Mark Brown will present an 
overview of Windows NT's capabilities and it's system architecture.  
The presentation will cover how software developers access NT's multi-
processing and multi-threading facilities through the Win32 API.  
Design requirements for applications to scale well to large numbers of 
processors will be discussed, using the high scalability of SQL Server 
6.0 as an example.

Both Stawsh and Mark are Microsoft Developer Relations Systems 
Technologies Evangelists working out of the San Francisco Bay Area 
office.  Stawsh specializes in Windows NT core technologies and 
Microsoft's OLE Component Object Model (COM) while Mark's 
specialty is evangelism of Windows NT Back Office line of server 
products.

Prior to working with Windows, Stawsh worked with IBM mainframe 
software, particularly MVS; Mark worked with UNIX.

The main meeting starts promptly at 7:30PM and a discussion of 
member projects currently underway and other issues of interest to 
entrepreneurs follows immediately thereafter at 9PM at Sun 
Microsystems at 901 San Antonio Road in Palo Alto. This is just off the 
southbound San Antonio exit of 101.  Northbound travelers also exit at 
San Antonio and take the overpass to the other side of 101.

Please be prompt; as usual, we expect a large attendance; don't be left 
out or left standing. There is a $10 fee for non-members and members 
will be admitted free.  Yearly membership fee is $50.
