Subject: Doom Modem League Information
Message-ID:
Date: 24 Jan 94 23:06:07 GMT

DOOM MODEM LEAGUE INFORMATION:
So far, signups for the Doom Modem League are going well. We have about
30 members, and hopefully we should have 50+ by the time DOOM v1.2 is
released. If you sent me e-mail with the signup information, your name
is on the mailing list. If you have not, or if you would like to know
more about the DML, just read on.
1. What is the purpose of the Doom Modem League [DML]?
The DML is a service which will help you find a person to play Modem Doom
with who is a local call. Basically, I have a list of all the members
with their e-mail address, area code and city. About once a month, all
members will receive a letter with a current list of members. You will
be able to look for a member that is located close to you, and set up a
game of DOOM with this person. If you can not afford to make long
distance calls, or just have no one to play Modem Doom with, the DML is
for you.
2. How do I join the DML?
Joining the DML is simple. Just e-mail me an application. An
application includes:
a) e-mail address
b) city
c) area code
3. What is in the future of the DML?
The DML plans to hold a DOOM tournament sometime in the near future, with
players from all across the USA competing. Look for more details in the
coming months.
4. What will I need to play Modem Doom?
Three things will be needed to play Modem Doom.
a) The game DOOM
b) a 386 or greater
c) a 9600 baud or higher modem
If you are reading this message, you obviously have a and b. If you do
not yet own a 9600+ modem, go out and buy one. 2400 and 1200 are almost
obsolete, with 14.4 being standard. AND without one, Modem Doom is not
possible.
***********************************************************************
Well, there is everything you need to know about the DML. If you have
any additional questions, e-mail me at [email protected] and I will
answer the question ASAP.

DML Chairman

While at a cousins house I got hooked on a great PC game called Ultima7
the Black Gate. Unfortunately I have a Mac, and see no reason in
getting a PC just to play a game (even one so amazing as this). Anyway,
recently, I heard that Ultima7 can also be bought for the Mac, but I
haven't beenable to find it. Could someone please give me the name of a
vendor who sells this game. Or at the verry least give me Origen Games'
(the games creator) address. Any help is appreciated.

I've been away from my news for about two weeks, and I received a fantastic chuckle after reading through the threads surrounding the bruhaha (sp?)
over an account lost at the Hermes support BBS. I have to say that this is
very similar to an experience that I had with Lloyd when he purchased
Hermes:
About two years ago, I had an account on Pacific Macintosh (Lloyd's
BBS) under the account name The Cruiser. I enjoyed that BBS immensely, and
met quite a few great people, including a close friend. Then one day, Lloyd
announced that hw was going to charge $20 or so for access to the system.
"To offset costs" or some other rationale as I recall. There was to be a
grace period of about three weeks, after which time, non-paying users of
the BBS would have severe access restrictions. Anyway, after about two weeks,
Lloyd proudly imforms all the users that he has purchased Hermes, and how
wonderful it will be for us local users to have Pacific Macintosh also be
the support board for Hermes.
Well, this got me to thinking, and I posted my speculation on the
board. My idle speculation? That Lloyd instituted the fee to help finance
the purchase of Hermes. Sounds reasonable to me. You're a business, you
need to raise capital to finance an acqusition, you rasie prices. What
happened on civilization's last bastion of free speech, the BBS? My post was
removed within the hour, and I received e-mail from Lloyd that any further
postings on this topic would subject me to account deletion. Being the
inquisitive soul that I am, I e-mailed him back, and as I recall, asked him
why he felt such drastic measures were necessary for asking a logical
question. I believe I also asked him if my postulation was true.
In any event, the answer I received to that e-mail was account
deletion. This puzzled me, so I dutifuly logged on as a new user, and in
feedback to the sysop, asked why I was deleted when I did not post the message
publically. I also asked him again if I was right or wrong. I was able to
log back onto that new account one more time, and was able to read a
particularly hostile message telling me it was none of my business. Perhaps
it wasn't, but it did seem to be overreacting a touch.
Never did get a straight answer though. Lloyd, perhaps you would
like to comment?

Hi there.
I just gotta my Apple CD 300i, and it was just "plug and play" on
my PC. I am using a PAS16, and the CD is the only SCSI device.
Well, it was not exactly "plug and play" because I have to make
(or get somewere) the audio cable. It is required to make the
audio CD's work, and it seems to me to be only them, because I
get sound in every MM application.
See you,
Jose Cid.

What is a reasonable speed for a modem. I understand that normal
telephone lines are reliable to 9600 baud, but much above that you
need special lines installed. Is this true or am I living in the
dark ages? That is: Are those people that are buying 14.4 Kbaud
modems wasting their money, or installing faster lines, or what?
I understand the physical principles, but I am ignorant of the facts.

Subject: Survey!
Newsgroups: comp.sys.atari.8bit
Summary:
Keywords: Atari 8-bit
Question --
How many of you actually use an 8-bit Atari to access this newsgroup and/or
use the full Internet from your 8-bit? No cheating! Let's hear from the
REAL 8-bitters! If not, (shame on you!), what system do you use as your
terminal/window to the wonderful world of comp.sys.atari.8bit??
As for me, I have a 320K 130XE + (the plus indicating an OMNI ROM with
80-columns, with old OS, new OS and more plus! other stuff!), running two
180K 1050s, a 2000+ sector D8: ramdrive, and the SX212 1200 (Ok, Ok!, I
should move up to faster) baud modem in direct connect mode, using the
absolutely amazing Kermit65 version 3.7 telecommunications software in
full 80-column VT100 terminal emulation mode with the R-Handler supplied
by the Bob Puff RVerter program.
(NOTE: If I wanted to, I could still do everything with a 90K 810 or
single-density drive, and a 48K Atari 400/800!!!!). Top that!! The Kermit
program comes with a software driven 80-column screen, 40-column or
scrolling screen, so it can also be used on the venerable 800!).
I access the network from my home and have the Sun Server at work set up
so my terminal type is vt100. I have found that the Kermit65 3.7 program
works extremely well with the Omnicom running about as well. (If there is
better out there, tell us!!!). Or even just a better way...... still tell us!
For downloading or transferring I use the full power of the network to
the Sun and then offload or upload via Xmodem (or Kermit!!) to my beloved
Atari!
I am running pine as my mailtool, pico as my default editor, and lynx
as the insanely cool killer World Wide Web VT100/ANSI Internet network
browser with hyperlinking, ALL FROM MY ATARI!!!!!!!! Plus more +++++!!
I can even do tildas ``````!!!!!!
As my OS, I am using SpartaDos 3.2d and have set up a startup batch
file which boots it all automatically with a few other options to include
having a dynamically updating date and time which is visible. Then all I
do is make a phone call!!
So ALL you 8-bitters out there - come on! - and tell us what you are
really using to communicate with the rest of us!
Looking for all setups to access here and the Internet -- the most
unusual, the most exotic, the most imaginative, best use of 8-bit
technology, the most minimal system (anybody using a 400??!!), the most
daring, the most innovative, the funniest, the cheapest, the craziest
setup, the most unique, ...
Let's find out how you REALLY access the network to communicate with your
fellow Atarians from around the world and share the common,
albeit unique experience of the 8-bit domain.

Those of you out there that don't want to bother with this, can just
get the patch binaries from (I think) a.a.u.e in
atari/Mint/Misc/patch.zoo
The patch archive comes with two programs - patch and bpatch. Use the
bpatch one on the mint diffs.

The Sinclair is cute, but the NeXT is more cute.
I am selling my Sinclair stuff. I have:
TS 1000 computer and user manual
TS 1016 16K memory expansion module
Magnavox 4" B&W TV with RF converter
Software on cassette - Superdoodles, Money Analyser 2, The Organizer
Book - 50 1K/2K games for the TS 1000/1500
Generic power converters and video cable
Cassette cable
I would like to sell all of it in one batch. Make an offer. I was guessing
around $60, but that guess may be out of whack with reality.

This could well be a false alarm, but I seem to get conflicts between
Apple's Finder Scripting Extension v.1.0 (from AppleScript kit v.1.1)
and AfterDark 2.0x running under System 7.1 (not 7Pro) on a IIci.
The symptoms are that when I use "always password protect" option turned on
with AfterDark, (1) when I try to wake up the Mac from the AD's 'sleep'
(i.e. blank-out) mode, it wouldn't wake up even after I type in the
password, and (2) when I leave the Mac in the 'sleep' mode for a while
(say, overnight) the Finder tends to crash with an illegal instruction
error (it happened several times in a row). The module I use for
AfterDark is 'FadeAway'.
I recognize that there are a number of tests that I could do, and
I haven't (like, try other AD modules, disable all other non-Apple
extensions/control-panels, what if I don't password-protect, etc etc).
Yet I appreciate hearing comments saying whether other people are seeing
similar problems or not.

Yes, it is qty 2 of the 256K vram simms. They are sold as a kit and intended
to be used together. If you want the Apple part number I can get it for you.
Just not available this second. Likewise if you are interested and tell me
what computer you want to put it into, I'll try to help determine the level
of colors you'll end up with. (will need to know your monitor size).
Thanks for your interest.

Be careful using COM 4 with a modem. If possible use a unique IRQ (really
I should say always use a unique IRQ) and COM 3, or even better COM 2 if it
doesn't conflict with your mouse. Try to avoid COM 4 at all costs (well,
its not really that bad, but avoid it).

hi, there
How can I kill myself while running myself ??
in unix,
example: my program name is "tt"
tt's code : main(){ system("rm tt");}
result: text file busy, can't remove.
at first, I think it's protection of system.
BUT
why I can remove file itself while running script file ?

Summary: List of bugs in liberation
Keywords: liberation captiveii buglist
G'day all,
Over the last week (since I've had Liberation), I've uncovered various
bugs (as you may already know). I've decided to list them, so that other
people will know about them (at least I hope these are bugs, not put in
there on purpose! 8->)
The following is an updated list of these bugs, and a copy of this has
been forwarded to Amiga Format who will hopefully (8-)), forward this on to
Mindscape.
* Guru's occasionally (only 2 times for me). It has reset for some
people, when there are too many people in the room. (I haven't
noticed this however.)
* When initiating a conversation, sometimes a person will occuse
you of "clobbering" them. Other people have said that if you
shoot a thief, then everyone else say that you have shot them.
(Haven't noticed this myself, but could be the reason.)
* Sometimes when you go to talk to someone, garbage such as "87#&^j"
will come up in their window, and your response window doesn't
always have a response (have to cycle through several responses
before one actually shows up). For some people, this has meant
that the machine will guru shortly.
* When using the Mapper - Comms, in a taxi, it will say "Autopilot
initiated" (or something like that), yet it will not go anywhere
if the destination is in the current zone.
(You have to leave the zone, and then re-select the destination).
* When talking to people about the "Captive", and they ask you for
some dosh, you can select "well.." or "let's see.." and then
select something like "I'll have to go to the bank and come back
later.." they will give you the info anyway. Now this could be
on purpose, as they can't be bothered waiting around, yet one of
them said at the end of their speech "..Thanks for the dosh".
* The amount of time played, in the disk access menu is not always
accurate. To start off with (up to about 8 hours), it was ok,
but then it went to say that I'd been playing for 386 days, then
1058 days, and finally 2685 days!
* The percentage of game done is sometimes stuffed for a little while
(usually just after saving), as when you've only completed 1%,
it may say that you've completed 99%.
* Harri Pesonen ([email protected]) says:
I have noticed a strange bug. When I check the different body
parts in the Repair state, it seems that the left leg of one
robot is the same as the head of another, and the same as the
right leg of the third, and the same as the left hand of the
fourth, etc.
* When you look "up", the wall image is upside down (ie, the down
image reversed).
* Percentage of game played sometimes just stays as "New Game"
(I haven't noticed this yet, but it has reset the time for me).
* The most annoying (and worst bug), is as follows:
Game would't save in flash ram, as it said that it was "too big
and to try in the city, and that if that didn't work try another
zone." The thing is, this happened while I was outside, in the
city, and I did try other zones, but to no avail. It did save
to the ram disk though. HOWEVER, because of it being unable to
save to the flash-ram, it somehow WIPED the game which was
previously there, thus still not allowing me to save the ram-disk
version to flash-ram. When looking at the game-save slots (after
I had removed the recoverable ram disk), all I had in there was
one locked save game of diggers (seven slots in length). Now surely
the game doesn't need 93 slots? I have had save which only take 47,
and with the most that I know of about 80. Because of this bug,
about 15 hours or so has to be replayed. Hopefully all the info
that I wrote down will still be valid (wishful thinking).
Well that's as much as I know of at the moment, so I hope this helps someone
(particularly Mindscape), until the "fixed bug-free" version comes out in
a couple of weeks.
Dave

Last-modified: 1993/10/11 16:46:43
Version: 2.1
*** Welcome to rec.music.info! ***
Welcome to rec.music.info, a Usenet newsgroup that aims at being a low
volume, high quality source of music-related information.
You are now reading the first of two introductory articles about
rec.music.info. This particular article explains what rec.music.info is,
and answers some Frequently Asked Questions. The second article is titled
"Submission Guidelines", and you only need to read it if you want to submit
something to the newsgroup yourself.
By the way: many Usenet informational articles (or FAQs), including this
one, are available for anonymous ftp from the archive site rtfm.mit.edu in
the directory pub/usenet/news.answers. The name under which a FAQ is
archived appears is the one that appears in the 'Archive-name' line at the
top of the article. The FAQ you are now reading is, for instance, archived
as music/rec-music-info/welcome.
If you can't do or don't know about ftp: the FAQs are also available from a
mail server. Just send an e-mail message to [email protected]
containing the word "help" in the body of the message.
--- What is the purpose of rec.music.info?
The purpose or charter of r.m.info is to provide the Internet community
with a resource for information, news, and facts about any and all things
musical.
Whereas all the other musical newsgroups on the net are intended for
unmoderated discussions and general chit-chat about their specific musical
topics, rec.music.info contains only informational, factual articles.
Followups are redirected to an appropriate unmoderated group, and further
discussion (if any) will not take place in r.m.info.
In order to ensure that r.m.info contains only appropriate articles, it was
decided to create the group as a moderated newsgroup.
--- Eh, what is a 'followup', and what does 'moderated' mean?
If you are new to Usenet and not familiar with the terminology, you might
want to read the general introductory articles found in the newsgroup
news.announce.newusers. Doing so will make your life on the net much
easier, and will probably save you from making silly beginner's mistakes.
If you think that at this moment you are reading an echo, a conference, or
a bboard, I'd also strongly suggest a trip over to news.announce.newusers.
For the rest of this article, I will assume you have a basic knowledge of
Usenet and Internet terminology and mechanics.
--- OK, so now I know what 'moderated' means. Tell me more.
Rec.music.info is a moderated newsgroup, which means that all articles
submitted to the group will have to be approved by the moderator first.
The current moderator of the group (as well as author of this article) is
Leo Breebaart. Submissions to r.m.info as well as comments, criticisms,
suggestions or questions about the group can either be directly posted to
rec.music.info, or e-mailed to:
[email protected]
But before you do so, please be sure to check out the "Submission
Guidelines" article.
The influence of the moderator is minimal and of an administrative nature,
consisting chiefly of weeding out inappropriate articles, while making sure
correct headers etc. are used for the appropriate ones.
--- Why does every article subject start with a capitalized word?
The subject of every article posted to r.m.info starts with a special
keyword. This enables people to automatically select or kill entire
categories of information that they are/are not interested in. Because of
the keyword scheme we do not need separate newsgroups for e.g. chart
listings, or for concert dates, or for discographies.
--- What are the keywords, and what do they mean?
At the moment there are 9 broad categories of rec.music.info articles.
ADMIN: Words of wisdom from the moderator. Used for newsgroup-related
information and administratrivia only. For messages that get crossposted to
other groups (like the one you are reading right now), I will use the less
confusing REC.MUSIC.INFO: keyword.
CHART: 'Top
posted periodically. Considered worthless trivia by many people, charts are
nonetheless hugely popular with even more people, so they make up a
non-trivial amount of r.m.info contents.
DISCOGRAPHY: Discographies for recording artists in any genre.
CONCERT: Tour schedules, special appearances, festival line-ups, this
season's list of Boston Philharmonic performances -- you get the picture.
RELEASE: Announcements concering new music releases: singles, albums,
video's, etc.
NEWS: "Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen, died this weekend."
MAILINGLIST: Announcements and information pertaining to any of the
existing musical mailing lists.
FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions articles.
INFO: Catch-all category for information that is useful but does not fit
any of the above categories. Examples: "List of good classical record shops
in Amsterdam", "Ftp site for Michael Jackson-related material established".
Some articles can also have a 'secondary keyword' attached in [square
brackets] at the end of the Subject line. CONCERT articles, for instance,
usually include the geographical location in that manner.
For examples and for more information about category keywords, see the
"Submission Guidelines" article.
--- Will the material appearing in rec.music.info be archived somewhere?
Yes. David Datta has generously donated space on his music FTP archive site
for a rec.music.info archive.
You can reach the archive by committing ftp to ftp.uwp.edu (directory:
/pub/music/info), or by gophering to gopher.uwp.edu.
Effectively this means that anything you post to rec.music.info will be
permanently stored, so your work will not be lost.
--- That's all folks.
I hope you will find rec.music.info a useful resource, and I look forward
to hearing any comments, questions, or suggestions you may have.

*** rec.music.info - Submission Guidelines and Etiquette ***
Two introductory articles about rec.music.info are posted to the group
every two weeks. You are now reading the second article, which explains how
to submit something to rec.music.info, and which answers some Frequently
Asked Questions about the submission process. The first article is titled
"Welcome to rec.music.info", and it might be a good idea to check it out as
well, if you haven't already.
By the way: many Usenet informational articles (or FAQs), including this
one, are available for anonymous ftp from the archive site rtfm.mit.edu in
the directory pub/usenet/news.answers. The name under which a FAQ is
archived appears is the one that appears in the 'Archive-name' line at the
top of the article. The FAQ you are now reading is, for instance, archived
as music/rec-music-info/guidelines.
If you can't do or don't know about ftp: the FAQs are also available from a
mail server. Just send an e-mail message to [email protected]
containing the word "help" in the body of the message.
--- How do I submit something to rec.music.info?
Two possibilities. You can use your newsreading software to just post the
article to rec.music.info, as you would do with any other newsgroup. The
difference is that the software recognizes the special status of r.m.info
as a moderated group, and will e-mail your article to me, the moderator,
instead of posting it to the group.
Alternatively, you can mail your article directly to me at the following
address:
[email protected]
If you decide to mail, you can still use any Usenet specific header lines
you want (e.g. Newsgroups, Followup-To, Summary, etc.): just include them
as the very first line in your e-mail and use a blank line to separate them
from the actual text of the article.
--- What type of material is considered inappropriate?
There are two broad categories of articles which will be rejected:
1] Requests for information. Rec.music.info is strictly a one-way street.
You people send me information; I then post it to r.m.info. Requests for
specific information belong in the normal newsgroups. If your request gets
answered, you might consider passing the answer on to r.m.info, though.
This policy may strike you as counterintuitive at first, but please be
aware that the "no requests" guideline has always been an integral part of
the r.m.info charter.
2] Reviews. There already is a dedicated, moderated newsgroup for musical
reviews: rec.music.reviews. All reviews should go there.
Most music-related articles that do not fall into these two categories tend
to get accepted, although as moderator I reserve the right to reject an
article if I feel that the subject matter is not of suffcient interest, or
the information level is not high enough to warrant posting to a world-wide
newsgroup.
--- How soon will I see my article appear?
Usually between one and three days after you post it. If your posting never
appears this means something must have gone wrong: I never reject anything
without giving an explanation in e-mail.
Please note that your article will generally be processed much faster if
you follow the format guidelines explained below. 'Perfect' articles I can
send on with just two keystrokes. Stuff that needs editing is going to have
to wait until I have time to do so.
--- Should my submission be in a specific format?
Every article in a newsgroup consists of a header (containing the From,
Subject, Newsgroups and other header lines), and a body (containing the
text of the article). The deal is as follows:
When you post to rec.music.info, you can rely on the fact that I will never
ever mess with the body of the article. I don't spell-check, I don't edit,
I don't reformat, I don't do anything except decide if the article as a
whole is appropriate for rec.music.info.
The headers, however, are all mine: I will add default header lines in case
you omitted any, and although I will of course generally honor the header
lines you do supply, I always reserve the right to edit or change any of
them if I am not satisfied with the way they are.
--- Ok, tell me more about the header format.
I honor the following header lines: From, Subject, Newsgroups, Followup-To,
Reply-To, Organization, Summary and Keywords.
The last three are entirely optional. The other ones aren't strictly
required either, but if you don't supply them I will add them to the final
article with the following default values:
Reply-To -- the address in the From line.
Newsgroups -- rec.music.info
Followup-To -- the groups you explicitly crossposted your article to
OR rec.music.misc if you didn't specify a crosspost.
Please use the Newsgroups line to have your article crossposted to other
newsgroups (if appropriate), instead of making separate postings. I reserve
the right to remove newsgroups from the Newsgroups line if I feel you are
crossposting too widely or to inappropriate groups.
I also honor 'advanced' header lines like Expires and Supersedes, but if
you plan to use those please e-mail me first so we can set things up
correctly.
--- You haven't mentioned the Subject line yet!
An absolute requirement for Subject lines is that each line starts with an
appropriate category keyword word in all caps, followed by a colon and a
space (see also the "Welcome to rec.music.info" article for more
information about categories).
Apart from this, there are some additional format suggestions for each
category, as follows:
RELEASE subjects consist of the name of the artist, optionally followed
by a release item name in quotes, and finally a secondary subject
categorization between square brackets.
Examples: "RELEASE: Rush, "Rush Sings Mariah Carey" [Album]
"RELEASE: Rush, "Live at the Apollo" [Video + Box]
"RELEASE: Rush [Single]
MAILINGLIST subjects consist of the name of the artist or genre
covered, optionally followed by a list name in quotes, and finally a
secondary subject categorization between square brackets: 'New' for the
announcement of a new mailing list, 'Update' for a change to an
existing list, and 'Blurb' for mailing list advertisements.
Examples: "MAILINGLIST: Queensryche, "Screaming In Digital" [Blurb]
"MAILINGLIST: Noseflute List [Update]
"MAILINGLIST: Trafassi, "Ma Akoeba" [New]
CONCERT subjects consist of the artist or event names separated by
comma's, followed by a hierarchy of locations in between square
brackets.
Examples: "CONCERT: Michael Jackson [New York, USA]
"CONCERT: Michael Jackson, Nirvana [World]
"CONCERT: Michael Jackson [Canada + USA]
"CONCERT: Parkpop Festival [The Hague, Netherlands]
DISCOGRAPHY subjects consist of the name of the artist, nothing else.
Example: "DISCOGRAPHY: The Beatles"
CHART subjects are free format, but please try to mention (a) the name
of the chart, and (b) the period to which the chart applies.
Example: "CHART: Zimbabwe Top 40 Albums, 09/09/93"
FAQ, INFO and NEWS subjects are also free format. Plese try to keep the
text after the keyword short, yet informative.
--- Anything else?
Not really.
I'm looking forward to seeing your submissions fill up my mailbox...

The PowerPC architecture defines a set of Floating Point instructions that must

No. In some of your other posts, you have stated that if distributors want

commercial to me.

I must take exception to your language here. If you choose to put your
software under a copyright that restricts distributors like myself from
being payed for their time and effort, that is your business. Basically, it
just means that fewer people will have easy access to your software.
I provide a service, and people pay me for my time and trouble in copying
Linux onto floppy disks or tape and providing telephone support. I am not
'selling' Linux and make it absolutely clear to people who buy Slackware
disks from me that they are paying only for media and for my time and
trouble. They all know the software is free (in fact, they are very welcome
to spend 13 hours dowloading all 53 disks from my BBS). I'm NOT ripping
anyone off.

Considering your very restrictive copyrights on Shadow, including it in
again would mean that FEWER people would have access to Slackware. If it
goes back in and I can't be paid for anything other than the disks I copy
Linux onto, I'll use some other distribution. I'm sure the CD manufacturers
would stop using Slackware as well. Including a package with a copyright
like yours essentially puts the whole distribution under the terms of your
copyright.

Possibly you have not specified the No Banner option. Banners are the default

Brightwork sells a package called netremote+. We haven't looked at it yet but
they offer a 30 eval so you might want to contact them and try it out yourself;
there is no truth like your own experience.

Please help... I've been battling this one for a LONG TIME and I'm
getting sick of it.
My entire Win/OS2 environment is hosed where some apps will start and some
won't, if one's going a second just turns grey, the sound doesn't work,
normally I can't kill the apps without the help of Pstat PM2,
periodically the entire system hangs when I get stuck in a WIN app, and
the list goes on...
I've tried the separate session setting as well as a ton of others. I've
got 16MB and all OS2 apps run fine. Is there a good baseline of settings
to go with? I've even installed some of the os2 patches (P9986 and a few
others) with no help at all. Are there any new ones I should know about?
Thanks for your help,

MS DOS 6.2 DISKCOPY fails every time I use it whenever the destination
disk is unformatted. Not only does it fail, but it leaves my 3.5"
drive unusable ("divide overflow" error). Has anyone else had this
problem? The specific error is "General Failure reading drive B:",
"Abort, Retry, Fail?". After that, I can no longer access drive B. I
have to reboot to regain it.
My computer is a 486dx2 66MHz VLB w/8MB RAM. I've removed all TSR's,
and I don't use any disk compression software. Does anyone out there
have any suggestions???? BTW, the Windows 3.1 "DISKCOPY" (in File

Hi there,
I'm in the process of buying an external modem in the United States. Its a simple 2400 baud modem with no frilly features. I would like to ship it to my friend who lives in australia. I know that 1) the power supply is 230 volts as opposed to 115V in the U.S.A. 2) the phone jack setup is different. If anyone knows of a decent modem that has a voltage selective switch I'd greatly appreciateit. Also, if any aussie reads this group and has bought a modem or been sent a modem from the USA and has successfully
set it up, please email me promptly.
Thanks,

I have been using OWL TValidator classes for the edit controls of my
dialog. For the most part, they work as I'd like them to. One of
the problems I'm having is that the contents of an edit control are
validated whenever they lose the focus -- whether its to move to a
successive control or a prior one.
At my site, we have historically created "dialogs" where validation
was done if you advance to the next field or, as would often be the
case with a Window's dialog, choose the O.K. button. However, we
generally allow the user to backup to a prior field even if the edit
losing focus contains blanks (which might be considered invalid in the
context of a completed dialog).
Is there anyway to coerce the TValidator or TEdit classes to exhibit the
desired behavior? Thanks in advance.

Marcel,
If SYS C: failed, then COPYing IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS from a floppy to C:
did nothing but place these two _ordinary_ files that happen to have the
names "IO.SYS" and "MSDOS.SYS" in your C root directory; it did nothing to
alter the system IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS files that the boot procedure uses.
The only way you can install the system IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS files is
either by using SYS or by using FORMAT/S.
I suspect that the timer utility thrashed the FAT on your C drive,
so I hope before you go any further you run CHKDSK.
If SYS C: failed, I think it virtually certain that the FAT is
totally screwed up.
Think about it: "Not enough room for system files"???
If CHKDSK reports cross-linked files, think about reformatting the drive

We never started using Multi-Scope 4.0, since it had so many problems.
We're still using 3.4!

The MultiScope compiler was an old Stony Brook Beta (I'm told by Stony
Brook). MultiScope has lost the rights to distribute that compiler, so
that appears to be a dead end.
We're evaluating the latest Beta for the next release of SB M2. If
everything they say is true, it looks quite good (virtual memory
support for 16-bit compiles, plus a 32-bit compiler which supports two
DOS Extenders, ISO compiler and library, etc). You might give them a
call (800-624-7487). Everyone I've spoken with there has been helpful
and knowlegable...

Hello, NeXT community,
I am a NeXTSTEP software developer with the task of porting a
segment of code from an X-windows program to NeXTSTEP. This is easy,
in general, but breaks down when I have to do XOR operations in the
X-windows way (NOT an XOR composite). Has anyone out there surmounted
this problem in the 'correct' fashion, i.e. no clear windows floating
over the background with the xor-ed pixels drawn to the clear window,
for example? What I want is a true XOR operation as defined under the
X-windows standard, or any reasonable facsimile thereof. Failing
that, any suggestions for quality workarounds? I don't need
high-speed, just compatibility.
Please reply to the above address ([email protected]) as I
typically don't have time to keep up with this group.
Best regards,
Shane Artis

I've been using PCBUUCP for about 4 months and I'm still new at this, so
I have some questions I hope someone can take some time to explain. My
host, ssnet.com, is an Internet site and he has set me up as a UUCP site
off from him.
When I post a message in a newsgroup, I see my name in domain format,
but when I post an Email, it shows in UUCP format. I've mentioned this
to him and he said it was a problem setting up sendmail at his site.
So, what is so different about Email vs. news? How come the name in a
newsgroup can go out in domain format so well, while in the Email it is
all so screwed up?
When PCBUUCP prepares the outgoing packets, it converts my usernames to
domain format for all conferences, including the Email one. So why
should my host be messing with the name format in the Email? Has
someone had this problem before and found a solution for that? I want
to help him set me up right. I'm his first BBS customer, so he is as
new to this as I am. BTW, Email addressed in domain format comes over
fine, but address looks like UUCP format.

In my opinion both Soft-Ice and Bounds Checker are well worth the money.
We've got a couple copies where I work and they've probably saved 20-30
hours of work within a few weeks of work. Soft-Ice is also great because
you can use it to debug DOS programs which crash other DOS debuggers. Just
run Soft=Ice then run the DOS program in a Windows DOS box. Bounds Checker
has also located a few fairly significant resource depletion & other bugs
in some of our code that we would never have found otherwise.

PMFBI, but looking up information in MSVC would take well over a minute
if you relied entirely on the hardcopy manuals. I much prefer using the
on-line help for this. The manuals for MSVC are taking up 2/3 of a shelf
in the bookcase in my office (about 3 feet of space!). By quick count, the
MSVC documentation set consists of roughly 30 manuals. I can't begin to
tell you how much time I've saved by using the on-line references and
searching for specific keywords. The on-line stuff also has some good
cross referencing which makes searching incredibly easier.
I understand where you're coming from. CD-ROM's aren't for everybody.
However CD's are widely used in the development world and the'll probably
continue to remain in use for the forseeable future. Companies like IBM
and Microsoft distribute development tools, documentation, alpha/beta tests
(like Chicago, NT, etc) and all sorts of other useful information via
CD-ROM these days. As more and more documentation is needed you'll also
see a big shift to using CD-ROM and other media for text storage. If you
had the choice of manufacturing and shipping CD's for roughly $5.00 a piece
or 20 POUNDS of manuals which would probably cost on the order of hundreds
of dollars more to produce, which would you be more likely to do? Also, if
you're the customer would you be willing to pay the extra manufacturing and
shipping costs of what essentially amounts to a complete enclycopedia? The
cost savings as well as the time savings in performing electronic searches
will continue to make CD-ROM's a major player in the computer marketplace.

I don't think its a good idea to put type 2 PCMIA cards in type one
slots. I believet eh type two are 12 volt cards and the type ones are 5
volts.

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
