With V.32bis, the MicroPorte 4232bis yields high-speed throughputs +up to 38,400 bps on land-based lines reducing modem connect time, +resulting in substantial line cost savings. In keeping with the Company's +strategy, the MicroPorte 4232bis supports MNP 10 providing enhanced data +transmission reliability over both dial-up and cellular connections. + +The MicroPorte 4232bis has a footprint about the size of an index card, +weighs 10 ounces, and supports the advanced modem features users have come +to expect from Microcom's premium desktop modems. + +"The MicroPorte 4232bis is the only high-speed portable modem that enables +users to communicate virtually anywhere," says Stephen P. Mank, Microcom's +Vice President of Marketing. "Supporting communication over cellular is +particularly important to the increasing number of laptop, notebook, +palmtop and pen computer users who require mobile communication +capabilities. With MNP 10, their connect times are shorter and +communication links more reliable." + +Microcom's MNP 10 gives the MicroPorte 4232bis user a better chance to get +connected and stay connected over poor quality cellular and land-based +links. MNP 10 incorporates four unique functions called Adverse Channel +Enhancements (ACE) that regulate modem speed and packet sizes, optimizing +data transfer under virtually any conditions. MNP 10 initiates a call at +1200 bps, the most robust level, then upshifts to the highest possible +line speed. Throughout the call, MNP 10 monitors various line parameters +and aggressively adapts packet size and shifts modem speed, upward or +downward, providing optimum data throughput. + +In addition to supporting CCITT V.32bis modulation standards and MNP 10, +the MicroPorte 4232bis also supports MNP 2-4 error control, MNP 5 and +V.42bis data compression, and other modulation standards, including V.32 +(9600), V.22bis (2400), V.22 (1200 bps), Bell 212A (1200 bps) and Bell 103 +(300 bps). + +The MicroPorte 4232bis includes an AC power pack and rechargeable +batteries. Fully charged batteries provide 1.5 hours of connect time. Auto +shut-off conserves battery life when the MicroPorte is not in use. For +mobile computing, users can purchase an optional 12-volt DC adapter that +plugs into a standard automobile cigarette lighter. + +Shipping to authorized Microcom resellers in March 1992, the MicroPorte +4232bis will have a list price of $899. + +-------------------------------------------------------- + +BOSTON, MA (Networld Booth #1508), February 11, 1992--Microcom, Inc., +(Norwood, MA) developer of the Microcom Networking Protocol (MNP), the de +facto modem standard, today debuted the QX/4232bis+, the newest member of +its V.32bis modem family. The QX/4232bis+ is ideally suited for users of +high-power PCs and larger systems requiring very high throughput, solid +security and error-free transmission over dial-up or leased lines. + +Enabling users to transfer data at speeds up to 57,600 bps, the QX/4232bis+ +eliminates performance bottlenecks that frequently occur when running +complex applications with slower modems. The high-speed QX/4232bis+ also +provides the throughput users require for data-intensive applications +running on midrange, mainframe and supercomputers. + +In addition to 2-wire dial-up operation, the QX/4232bis+ supports 4-wire +leased lines. This preserves users' modem investments as the QX/4232bis+ +is compatible with most 4-wire modems. + +If the leased line connection is disrupted, the QX/4232bis+ automatically +switches to a 2-wire dial backup. While in backup mode, the modem +continually monitors the leased line and switches back to 4-wire operation +when the line is restored. Throughout the backup process, the QX/4232bis+ +maintains complete data integrity. + +Since many large computer systems are installed in banks, financial +institutions and Fortune 1000 corporations, Microcom designed the +QX/4232bis+ with multiple security modes to protect sensitive financial +and technical data. Sophisticated security features enable users to +program a security database for up to 20 users, selecting fixed dial-back, +variable dial-back or pass-through security, depending upon the user's +needs. Other security features are also provided. + +For both synchronous and asynchronous operation, the QX/4232bis+ provides +CCITT V.25bis dialing commands. This feature is particularly valuable to +users of IBM AS/400 systems, which commonly support V.25bis dialing. + +Following its strategy of providing high-performance capabilities in its +modems, Microcom also includes MNP 10 in the QX/4232bis+. MNP 10 provides +users with an effective solution for communicating data over cellular +networks and other adverse channels such as noisy land lines. MNP 10 +enhances modem connectability and adjusts packet size and modem speed to +optimize performance of the QX/4232bis+. + +Other features provided in the QX/4232bis+ include + +ù Auto Logon +. PCS Security +ù Multiple Configurations +. UUCP/Kermit Spoofing +ù Remote Access +ù Auto Dial-back On Loss of Carrier + +Microcom will ship the QX/4232bis+ to authorized dealers by the end of +January 1992.

With more and more organizations increasing their reliance +on Local Area Networks (LANs), the expanding popularity of notebook and +laptop computers, and the growing trend toward telecommuting, effective +computing no longer just means a PC on your desk in the office. + +LANs are taking over the way businesses compute. Studies indicate that +56.8% of all PCs in use will be connected to a LAN by 1995. International +Data Corporation (IDC) predicts the demand for LAN-based dial out will +increase as the number of PCs on LANs worldwide increases. + +In addition IDC states that, "the number of portable PCs (including +notebooks, laptops, and transportables) shipping worldwide will increase +from 3.9 million in 1991 to 9.6 million in 1995." With this growth in the +portable PC market comes an increasing need for remote access to the LAN. + +Market research firm, Link Resources, says 4.3 million company employees +work at home now. That figure is expected to increase as companies +continue to find that higher productivity and employee satisfaction are +the positive results of their telecommuting policies. + +In response to all of these trends and growing user concern with the +complexity of LAN-to-WAN connectivity, LANMODEM provides a simple +solution. LANMODEM is a V.32bis/ V.42bis (14.4K baud modem with up to 4x +data compression) network-attachable modem, which operates at speeds up to +57.6K baud. + +It is an intelligent plug-and-play network modem designed to give users +high speed access to, from and between Novell LANs. LANMODEM provides a +direct connection to the LAN cabling, giving remote users the ability to +log in to their office network from home, their hotel room, or wherever +they may be. LANMODEM lets them run applications such as E-mail, +groupware, word processing programs, graphics packages, etc., exactly as +if they were attached directly to the network. Additionally, remote users +can transfer files, print documents or..take remote control of a network +PC. + +As the popularity of telecommuting increases, so does the need for +realistic tools which permit employees to work efficiently and +effectively, believes David Bolles, company founder and CEO, who designed +LANMODEM with telecommuting in mind. "I think technology has a +responsibility to attempt to solve some of our environmental problems. +More and more, companies are willing to work with their employees to +permit them to work out of their home. LANMODEM is their easy-to-use +dial-in solution. Additionally it solves a need for employees traveling on +business to access their office networks." + +LANMODEM attaches directly to the network and allows network users in the +office to share modems to dial out to electronic information services. In +addition, LANMODEM features an additional serial port permitting another +modem to be attached, giving multiple users the ability to dial in and out +simultaneously, avoiding the need for dedicated modems and extra +telecommunications lines. + +LANMODEM, ($1,995 Ethernet Version), was announced late in 1991, and is +currently in final beta testing.

P6 will achieve this +performance using a unique combination of technologies known as Dynamic +Execution. + + P6 microarchitecture details were presented by Intel at the IEEE +International Solid State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), an annual industry +gathering where technical innovations are showcased and discussed. Details +on P6's unique approach to high-performance processing, described collectively +as Dynamic Execution, were presented by Dr. Robert Colwell, P6 architecture +manager, at ISSCC. + + Colwell explained that this architectural enhancement is the next step +beyond the superscalar advance implemented in the Pentium(R) processor. +Dynamic Execution is a combination of technologies -- multiple branch +prediction, data flow analysis and speculative execution -- that is +constantly feeding P6's data-crunching units. Intel engineers were able to +implement Dynamic Execution by analyzing how billions of lines of code in +software programs are typically executed by processors. Collectively, these +technologies allow the P6 to operate as an efficient information factory. + + Multiple branch prediction increases the amount of work available +for the microprocessor to execute. Data flow analysis schedules the +instructions to be executed when ready, independent of the original program +order. Speculative execution allows the P6 to keep its superscalar engine +as busy as possible by executing instructions that are likely to be needed. + + With these technologies, the P6 can efficiently analyze much larger +sections of incoming program flow than any previous PC processor, swiftly +allocate internal resources, and intelligently optimize work that can be +done in parallel. Consequently, more data can be processed in a given time +period. + +Parallel Design Teams Learn From Each Other + + The concept of P6's Dynamic Execution engine began in 1990, when +today's mainstream Pentium(R) processor was still just a software simulation. + + "Intel's use of parallel engineering teams for chip design has +compressed delivery cycles of new generations of chips, cutting the time +about in half," said Albert Yu, senior vice president and general manager, +Microprocessor Products Group. "As a result, computer users will have some +of the most powerful, low-cost engines at hand to enrich the desktop with +software and other capabilities we only imagined five years ago," he said. + + Yu said the Oregon-based P6 design team, building on the knowledge +gained from the Pentium processor design, embarked on an innovative +system-level solution to the next-generation processor involving the +processor, cache (high-speed supporting memory), and bus (the transport +mechanism that keeps data flowing into and out of the processor). "This +approach will ensure that computers built around P6 will be able to take +advantage of the chip's processing power when it is introduced as a +commercial product later this year," he said. + + The system-level approach means the P6 will be the first high-volume +microprocessor with two die in a single package. A dual-cavity, standard +PGA package contains a P6 die and a companion level two (L2) cache die. +The two chips communicate using a highly-optimized bus which contributes +to high performance by tightly-coupling the processor to its primary +data source. + +Additional Features + + In addition to providing new levels of performance, the P6 will contain +new features which will greatly simplify the design of multiprocessor systems +and improve overall system reliability. Among applications that will benefit +greatly from this processing power are: desktop applications such as image +processing, speech recognition, software-only videoconferencing and +multimedia authoring, and server applications such as transaction and +database processing. + + At introduction in the second half of this year, the P6 processor +will operate at 133 MHz and will use a power supply of 2.9 volts. The +low voltage also contributes to low power dissipation, which is expected +to be only about 14 watts, typically, for the processor and L2 cache combined. +Complete performance and power dissipation information will also be available +at that time, although estimated performance has been measured at more than +200 SPECint92 on a prototype system, twice the performance of today's fastest +Pentium processor. + + Intel, the world's largest chip maker, is also a leading manufacturer +of personal computer, networking and communications products. diff --git a/textfiles.com/computers/PRESSRELEASE/qmailmhs.txt b/textfiles.com/computers/PRESSRELEASE/qmailmhs.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..50ae3134 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/computers/PRESSRELEASE/qmailmhs.txt @@ -0,0 +1,54 @@ +WEST DES MOINES, IOWA FEBRUARY 7, 1992 -- CESOFTWARE HOLDINGS, INC. +(NASDAQ/HMS Symbol: CESH) today announced QuickMail for MHS (Message +Handling Services).

In addition, OpenServer 400 products can be combined with an +extensive suite of gateways from Retix and other vendors to gain access to +virtually every popular e-mail and mail-enabled application in use today. +OpenServer 400 for OS/2 + +OpenServer 400 for OS/2 is designed to take full advantage of the +multi-tasking OS/2 Version 1.3 operating system, providing users with +improved performance and increased capacity for their enterprise-wide +messaging networks. Key benefits of the OS/2 version include: better +memory utilization and increased performance for more efficient service to +large numbers of users; the ability to run OpenServer 400 and selected +e-mail server applications on a single machine; and a graphical OpenServer +Configuration Utility (OCU) running under Presentation Manager that +simplifies configuration and set-up. + +"Now that we have a version of OpenServer 400 for OS/2, as well as DOS and +UNIX, we can address the full spectrum of users that need to establish +enterprise-wide messaging," said Mark Fishburn, vice president and general +manager of Retix' OSI Product Unit. + +New Gateway Products + +Retix also expanded its family of gateways which work in conjunction with +OpenServer 400 to give users of PC LAN-based e-mail systems +interoperability with a wide range of other e-mail systems, mainframe and +minicomputer based systems and public mail networks that support X.400. + +The new Microsoft (MS) Mail for PC Networks Gateway provides MS +Mail-to-X.400 format conversion and transmission, allowing users of MS +Mail for PC Networks (formerly Consumer Software's Network Courier e-mail +package) to send messages and receive messages from users of other e-mail +systems. In fact, to the MS Mail user, users of other email systems appear +as if they were using the same mail system; the gateway simply maps the MS +Mail address to the X.400 address transparently. + +The Retix SMTP Gateway to X.400 works in a similar fashion, providing +SMTP-to-X.400 format conversion and transmission facilities, so that users +of UNIX e-mail systems (RFC 822 mailers) obtain access to other e-mail +systems and mail networks. Using the SMTP Gateway in combination with +OpenServer 400, users can send messages or files throughout an enterprise +using any e-mail package that supports RFC 822. The new version of the +gateway announced today adds support for SCO UNIX (to the previously +supported Interactive version), as well as MMDF-II, a popular SCO UNIX +mailer. + +"Microsoft has a significant market share in the LAN-based e-mail world +with MS Mail for PC Networks, and UNIX mailers are used heavily in both +government and academic sectors," said James Neiser, associate vice +president of marketing for the Retix OSI Product Unit. "In conjunction +with our OpenServer Partners, we can now provide X.400-based +interoperability to e-mail users in virtually every market sector." + +The MS Mail for PC Networks and SMTP Gateways to X.400 join the growing +number of gateways supplied by Retix and its OpenServer Partners to +provide access to popular e-mail and mail-enabled applications. Additional +gateways to X.400 are currently available for users of 3Com, cc:Mail, +NetWare MHS, OfficeWorks, MS Mail for Macintosh and WordPerfect, among +others. + +Pricing and Availability + +OpenServer for OS/2 is available 60 days ARO and begins at $5,950, U.S. +list. The Microsoft Mail for PC Networks Gateway to X.400 and the new +version of the SMTP Gateway to X.400 are available 60 days ARO. Pricing +for both gateways begins at $1,795, U.S. list. The products will be +demonstrated, along with OpenServer 400, at Networld Boston, February +11-13,1992 in Boston, Massachusetts, booth 121. + +Retix is a leading worldwide supplier of Open Networking products to the +end user and OEM markets.

Shiva was recognized as a +leading supplier of internetworking and dial-in remote access tools for +Novell customers. Shiva is the only Macintosh hardware product company, +other than Apple Computer Corp., currently in the Alliance. + +TSA members include computer industry leaders such as Apple, Borland, +Compaq, Digital Equipment Corp., Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Intel, Lotus +Development Corp., Microsoft, NetFRAME, Oracle, Ungermann Bass, 3Com and +others. The TSA now includes 30 member companies. + +According to Richard King, Novell's Vice President of Service and Support, +"With companies like Shiva joining the alliance, TSA will continue to +provide the widest support coverage for complex, multivendor systems in +the industry." + +The Technical Support Alliance agreement between Novell and Shiva outlines +the responsibilities of a support team that includes technical support +staff from both companies. Team members exchange training and technical +information on their respective products and use each other's products in +their technical support labs. A customer with a technical problem +involving both companies can call either company to begin resolution of +the problem. Procedures that involve a conference call between team +members are defined for problems that require escalation. + +Steve Van Beaver, Shiva's Director of Product Support, said "Our +participation in TSA reflects the fact that internetworking tools, and +dial-in remote access, are becoming network critical applications. As +users link multi-platform and multi-protocol environments, tools like +routers and Shiva's NetModem become virtually as central as the network +operating system." + +The NetModem/E is an integrated network communications server that provides +remote IBM and compatible PCs and Macintosh computers with transparent, +secure access to NetWare and AppleTalk Ethernet networks. The NetModem/E +provides dial-in, shared dial-out, and network-to-network routing for +PC-only networks, Macintosh-only networks, and mixed networks. + +Shiva's FastPath 5, the leading LocalTalk-Ethernet gateway, and NetModem/E, +a network communications server for Macintosh and PC users, are both +widely used to integrate Macintosh computers into Novell NetWare +environments. The FastPath 5 is a multi-protocol LocalTalk-Ethernet +gateway that routes AppleTalk Phase 1 and 2, TCP/IP, DECnet, IPTalk and +NFS. It is the de facto standard for AppleTalk to Ethernet routing, with +an estimated 80 percent of the market. + +Shiva's Dramatic Growth Results in Major Support Focus + +Shiva, recently recognized as 1 8th on the Inc. 500 list of fastest growing +companies, has increased its support staff by over 50% during the last +year. Senior technical support people have been added to the team, +increasing the bandwidth and quality of the support. The company has also +put a sophisticated call tracking system in place. + +According to Van Beaver, "Shiva has implemented an automated call tracking +system based on Informix that allows us to create a life history of every +customer who calls us. It saves both us and our customers valuable time as +we help solve their problems. Perhaps more important, it provides feedback +to the entire company about what customers are saying to us." + +Since joining the company, Van Beaver has also introduced a customer +awareness program. As part of the program, every Shiva manager visits or +phones several accounts each week, requesting feedback on product quality, +application use, and the customer's overall satisfaction. + +Turnaround time is a priority, since networks play a mission-critical role +in the corporate infrastructure. Said Van Beaver, "We've reduced our +response time drastically. If a customer calls Shiva, they can feel secure +that they'll talk with a support technician right away. And if we don't +meet those expectations, we want to know!" Van Beaver previously managed +product support at Intersolv (formerly Index Technology), where the +telephone support group received the best rating in the CASE industry for +three years running. He manages worldwide support, training and repair for +Shiva's products. + +About Shiva + +Shiva Corporation is a leading supplier of dial-in remote access, and +internetworking tools for Novell, AppleTalk, or mixed networks.

This is ideal for companies that spend less than +$500 for a LAN such as LANtastic or NetWare Lite, but who do not want to +buy a fax system that costs more than their LAN. + +Users can load both the Windows and DOS versions of ShareFax 2.5 on the +same LAN so Windows and DOS PCs on that LAN can share the fax server. +ShareFax 2.' runs on any LAN operating system that allows its users to +share a directory. + +ShareFax 2.5's unlimited user version enables any LAN-based PC with a fax +device to be the fax server for however many PCs are on the LAN. It runs +in the background so the server can be a non-dedicated PC which executes +other computing tasks. This is more economical than tying up a PC just for +faxing, or buying a stand-alone fax server hardware system. + +A new ShareFax 2.5 feature enables it to support all Class I and Class 2 +fax modems, which represent 95% of the fax modems on the market. This, +along with its ability to support the Hayes-JT Fax modem, +Intel/CAS-compatible fax boards and most proprietary boards, protects +organizations from the adverse effects of fax technology changes. + +ShareFax 2.5 installs automatically, so set up only takes minutes. The DOS +version has new graphical features and a streamlined command structure +which makes it easier to use. Like its Windows' counterpart, the DOS +version enables documents to fax exactly as they appear on the screen, +whereas some PC fax systems transmit text without fonts or other +graphics. + +ShareFax 2.5's command structure is designed so both DOS and Windows users +can fax from their PCs as easily as they print a software document. +ShareFax 2.5 automatically executes the complex software procedures +necessary to communicate with network fax devices. + +Another key new feature enables ShareFax 2.5 users to view, route and print +incoming faxes. ShareFax 2.5 also includes a status log to monitor +out-going and in-coming faxes, multiple phone books for storing fax +numbers and quick dialing, transmission scheduling to send faxes at +optimum times and the ability to fax multiple files to multiple +destinations. + +ShareFax 2.5 for DOS runs on any 8088 through 80486 IBM PC or 100% +compatible with DOS 3.0 or higher. It requires 128K RAM to run in the +foreground, and 18K as a TSR, but users should have 640K total RAM to +allow for their fax board or modem software's memory requirements. The +ShareFax 2.5 Windows version requires Windows 3.0. + +The suggested retail price of unlimited-user version for Windows is +$995.00, and $795 for DOS-only. Users of the limited versions can call +SofNet with their credit card and special ID number to receive a code +which they use to upgrade to additional workstations ($30.00 each for DOS, +$35.00 each for Windows), or to ShareFax's unlimited-user version. + +General Overview - ShareFax 2.5 + +ShareFax 2.5 enables any DOS or Windows PC on a LAN to be a non-dedicated +fax server for the other PCs on the network. ShareFax supports an +unlimited number of users and operates with any LAN operating system which +allows all of the network users to share the same file server directory. +The new 2.5 version is compatible with Class land Class 2 modems, as well +as Intel/CAS, Hayes JT and other proprietary fax devices, which +collectively represent over 95% of the PC fax devices currently on the +market.. + +Besides giving organizations the flexibility to do network faxing from any +LAN environment and with virtually any network fax system, developer +SofNet streamlined ShareFax's operation to make it easier to use. They +also designed 2-user and 8-user limited versions to better meet the needs +of small peer-to-peer LAN users. Organizations can buy either a DOS-only +version, or a DOS/Windows combination if they have DOS and Windows PCs on +the same LAN. + +ShareFax 2.5 consists of two components. + +The workstation module (MultiFax and XFax for DOS, FaxIt for Windows) picks +up the document(s) to be faxed, automatically converts them to the file +format required by fax devices, then stores them in the shared directory. +Both MultiFax and FaxIt use graphical interfaces, they enable users to +create an unlimited number of "phone books" for storing names and fax +numbers, and they send faxes to multiple destinations. MultiFax also can +fax multiple files. XFax is a utility that uses DOS line commands to do +the same thing as MultiFax. Many experienced DOS users prefer line +commands to graphical interfaces. + +The fax server module runs from the LAN PC on which the faxboard or fax +modem and its software is installed. This portion of ShareFax searches the +shared directory every 2 - 5 seconds for faxes, picks up outbound faxes +and uses one of its three fax drivers designed respectively to communicate +with Intel/CAS, Hayes JT or Class 1 and Class 2 fax devices. The server +portion also picks up incoming faxes and sends them to a LAN administrator +directory located on the server. + +ShareFax 2.5 - easy installation and set up + +Network administrators must be sure all of the LAN PCs, including the one +designated as the fax server, can refer to the shared directory with the +same drive reference and path (e.g. F:\FAXOUT). The LAN PCs must also be +able to create, delete, read from and write to files on this shared +directory. The shared directory will typically be found on the file server +of serverbased LANs. On peer-to-peer LANs, the shared directory can be on +any of the attached PCs. + +A simple "INSTALL" command installs ShareFax's fax server portion on the PC +fax server's hard drive. LAN administrators place MultiFax and XFax on the +shared directory, then create the directories and batch files needed to +run MultiFax as a TSR (Terminate but Stay Resident) or a DOS line +command-driven program. XFax is set up the same way. FaxIt can only be +loaded from ShareFax's Windows disk directly onto each Windows PCs' hard +drives. + +Faxing as easy as printing documents + +MultiFax gives users several graphical formats, including push buttons, +check boxes and radio buttons, to guide them through the process of +sending faxes, checking the fax log for the status of in- and outbound +faxes, creating and using phone books and using the print capture feature. +FaxIt uses the standard Windows graphical features. + +Users access MultiFax from the shared directory through their PCs. The +easiest fax procedure is to set MultiFax to run as a TSR, and turn on its +Print Capture feature. When users are ready to fax, they set the software +application they are running to print to an HP LaserJet printer on LPT3 +(the printer port option that people rarely use). The "Print" command +automatically sends the document to MultiFax in HP's .PCL format. When the +document finishes printing, MultiFax pops up to ask users if they want to +print more files. Users can send as many documents to MultiFax as they +want in this manner. + +When users finish printing whatever is to be faxed, MultiFax walks them +through the process of creating cover sheets, determining destinations and +the date and time when faxes should be sent. Hitting the "Send Fax" +command tells MultiFax to take over the faxing process and users can go on +with other work. MultiFax then automatically converts the documents from +.PCL to .PCX format (the format required by all fax devices to be able to +send files) and sends them to the shared directory, where the ShareFax +server module picks the files up and sends them out as soon as possible or +at user-designated times. + +Another procedure users can employ is to turn off Print Capture, but still +run MultiFax as a TSR. When they are ready to fax, users pop up MultiFax, +turn on Print Capture, exit MultiFax, set their document to print to an HP +Laser printer on LPTl(which is where most documents are already set to +print) and hit the "Print" command. The rest of the fax procedure is the +same as with the first option. LAN administrators can determine which +option they want based on the particular needs and skills of their users. + +A third faxing option is to convert files to ASCII or .PCX format (if the +particular application software can do so) and store these files where +users can pick them up with MultiFax at a later time. This is valuable +because users can create documents they send regularly, such as sales +literature, and fax them quickly without having to exit documents to keep +re-entering the commonly faxed documents. However, converting documents to +ASCII format strips them of their graphics and font settings. + +XFax does all of the MultiFax faxing operations through line commands at +the DOS prompt. The ability to specify each ShareFax parameters gives +users greater flexibility in how they use the program. Experienced users +can set up batch files and software shells to use ShareFax in manner most +comfortable to their individual tastes. SofNet provides several prewritten +batch files to further facilitate XFax's use. + +FaxIt, the ShareFax Windows module is even simpler to use than MultiFax. +During installation, users use a command to designate a FaxIt on ShareFax +option be part of Windows' printer setup dialog. When users want to fax a +document, they select the Printer Setup command from any Windows +application, click on FaxIt ShareFax, then print the document as they +normally would. + +FaxIt then works the same as MultiFax, walking users through the various +fax set up options, automatically converting the files to the proper +format with graphics and fonts intact, and sending them to the shared +directory (which is the same directory DOS users access). However, FaxIt +cannot not send multiple files at one time, or send ASCII and .PCX files. + +ShareFax DOS users can create and store any number of custom fax cover +pages, and both DOS and Windows users can store logos in files that can be +merged with the cover pages as faxes are sent. + +Incoming faxes are received at the fax server in the Administration +Directory (created during installation). Anyone who is given +"Administrator" rights can review these faxes with MultiFax, XFax or +FaxIt, and route them to the appropriate people. After individual users +receive faxes at their PCs, they have the option to view them, re-route +faxes to any or all other users, or print the faxes to designated printers +on the LAN. Users can also store faxes on their hard drives. + +SofNet +380 Interstate North Parkway, Suite 150, Atlanta, GA 30339 +404-984-8088 + + +---------------------------------------------------------------+ + | From the America On-Line & PC-Link New Product Info Services | + +===============================================================+ + | This information was processed with OmniPage Professional OCR | + | software (from Caere Corp) & a Canon IX-30 scanner from data | + | provided by the above mentioned company.

SoftSolutions 3.0 has been enhanced +to provide an all-encompassing approach to document management. Version +3.0 undertakes the management of all enterprisewide documents, regardless +of their source of creation. + +SoftSolutions organizes documents originating from multiple sources (i.e., +PC LANs, UNIX systems, documents stored on Laptops or Notebooks, hardcopy +documents, and documents created from the use of SoftSolution's Portable +Mode when the network is down), and creates a comprehensive depository of +accessible information. + +Version 3.0 makes information readily available by providing a balance of +features that meet both the needs of end users and system administrators. +The following enhancements benefit both end users and administrators: +Portable Mode operations, equipped with fully-functioning Profiles and +searching features; completely customizable profile screens; activity +logs; personal worklists; simple management of compound documents; +extensive integration and "launch" facilities for other network +applications; improved document security; and, customizable menu options, +error messages, and help screens. + +Alvin Tedjamulia, Vice President of STC, explains that "SoftSolutions is +the only company currently offering Portable Mode operations, which solves +significant problems encountered by organizations managing documents +created by busy users." SoftSolutions can easily coordinate the fragmented +flow of information generated by executives who may have created documents +on their home PC, on a laptop while traveling, or in another office. A +dataset, for example, in one office may welcome "guest documents" from a +dataset of another office. SoftSolutions 3.0 manages the entire process, +including status tracking, mass checkin/check-out, and moving documents +and Profiles. Welcoming guest documents or inviting them back to their +home dataset is efficiently coordinated in SoftSolutions 3.0 with a single +request. + +SoftSolutions 3.0 beta users agree that some of the most impressive aspects +of version 3.0 is the comprehensive offering of features and the product +configurability/flexibility. "Users have given valuable input on the +enhancements of SoftSolutions 3.0 and the resulting cooperative effort +with current users has paid off in the most impressive product we have yet +delivered....SoftSolutions 3.0," said Kenneth W. Duncan, President of +STC. + +SoftSolutions 3.0 fully supports SoftSolutions Image Manager and +SoftSolutions Intelligent Search. SoftSolutions for Windows will have the +same functionality as the DOS version and will be available second quarter +of 1992. + +Memory requirements for SoftSolutions 3.0 are 640 Kb on the PC. A Server +Enhancement Module (SEM) providing true client/server computing, exists +for NetWare 3.1x, IBM AIX, Digital Ultrix, Data General UX, SUN/OS, SCO +UNIX, and Interactive UNIX. + +SoftSolutions 3.0 will ship the end of February.

Courier is the top of the line modem and +within the BBS community is considered one of the top models available. +Sportster modems were typically the ugly little brother - at a much more +economical price. + +The company recently released some new Sportster models that have an allure. +The Sportster 14000 and Sportster 14000 with Fax offer CCITT V.32bis +connections at 14,400 bps, V.42 and V.42bis error correction and compression, +Microcom Networking Protocol (MNP) level 5 compatibility, and in the case of +the fax model - 9600 bps fax. The modems are listed at $519 and $549 +respectively - actually not terribly competitive in the economy class for +modems with this functionality. But Sportsters are almost designed to be +discounted and these are available on the street at around $290 which is +quite competitive. + +The main difference between the Sportster models and the Courier models in +this case is the case. The Courier features a very nice black plastic case +suitable for framing. The Sportster looks like nothing so much as a Radio +Shack home intercomm. You are almost drawn to press a switch, lean over to +speak into it, and ask mom for some juice with this thing. + +But under the hood lies more modem than even U.S. Robotics apparently +intended. The modem motherboard within is not similar to the $1295 Courier +Dual Standard, it actually IS the Courier Dual Standard motherboard. The +Courier Dual Standard of course, in addition to the 14.4kbps V.32bis mode, +features a 16.8kbps proprietary HST (High Speed Technology) mode, a really +nice case, an ASL mode, and a list price of $1295. We obtained data transfer +rates as high as 1885 cps with this top of the line model and reviewed it +very favorably in our October issue. + +The reasons for this are fairly understandable. It is actually cheaper to +manufacture lots of a single motherboard than two different motherboards. And +by repackaging it in a downscale case and disabling a few features, you can +reach an entirely different market segment without a lot of retooling. + +The difference in features is a function of the operating software held in +Read-Only-Memory (ROM) chips on the modem motherboard. But on a large number +of early shipments of the Sportster, the code is still in the ROMs, and can +be reactivated with simple AT commands to give the lightweight Sportster the +16.8Kbps mode that is the most notable function of the Courier power house. +It does not appear to add the ASL function. + +To see if your model supports this, enter the command ATI7 to display the ROM +version. At the bottom of the display, you should see an entry for SUPERVISOR +VER 4.1 or SUPERVISOR VER 4.2. It will also list an OPTIONS V32 entry. If +your ROM indicates SUPERVISOR VER 4.1, you win the USR Sweepstakes. Enter the +command AT GW 03C6,22 GW 05CD,2F and again enter ATI7. The options entry +should now read OPTIONS HST,V32. This means you can now use the 16.8kbps HST +mode. The ATB1 command will turn it on. And if you dial a BBS with a Courier +Dual Standard, you will get a 16800/ARQ connect. + +Currently shipping models of the Sportster have a version 4.2 ROM and the +command doesn't work. Merry Christmas from U.S. Robotics. Rumor has it there +are some very unhappy campers within USR over this marketing faux pas. We +don't get it. So some USR customers got a good deal - that's got to be +terrible PR right? + +Apparently USR is determined to turn it into a negative one way or another. +The company has issued a fairly artless written IMPORTANT WARNING TO BULLETIN +BOARD USERS quoting chapter and verse of U.S. copyright law. We produce the +full text of this warning here: + +"IMPORTANT WARNING TO BULLETIN BOARD USERS: + +It has recently come to our attention that some bulletin board operators and +other third parties have been improperly distributing copyrighted firmware +that will add USR's proprietary "HST" protocol to USR "Sportster" modems +without having to compensate USR for the conversion. Some of these persons +have further been telling customers that if such a conversion is made, it +will not adversely affect the customer's right to warranty service from USR. + +USR has not authorized the dissemination of this firmware. The Company +considers any such attempts to improperly incorporate copyrighted "HST" +features into non-HST modems to be a clear infringement of USR's rights under +Federal Copyright Law. Persons contemplating such action should be aware that +the Copyright Act of 1976 provides stiff remedies for acts of copyright +infringement, including the impounding of all infringing copies, monetary +damages, special statutory damages, costs, attorney fees, and even potential +criminal liability. 17 U.S.C. Secs. 502-506. USR will take whatever steps it +deems necessary to protect its copyright rights. In addition, USR's warranty +will not extend to products that have been tampered with in this manner. + +Also, please note that it has also come to our attention that versions of the +firmware being disseminated contain disguised code ("Trojan Horse") that may +inflict irreparable damage to the hard drive of the computer utilizing the +programs. + +We regret the necessity of having to post this warning. Please understand +that USR has spent considerable time, effort and money to research and +develop the software embodied in its products. Like any manufacturer, we +cannot simply sit back and tolerate attempts to misappropriate our +copyrighted programs in this manner. U.S. Robotics, Inc." + +We haven't been able to locate anything remotely resembling USR firmware +online. If it did exist, it would be a copy of the ROM code in the Dual +Standard ROM and could not conceivably even be run on an 80x86 +microprocessor, much less operate as a Trojan Horse. It would be data that +garage-shop pirates would use to create unauthorized copies of the ROM using +an Electrically Programmable Read Only Memory (EPROM) programming device. +This would be put in the Sportster to convert it to a Courier Dual Standard. +This would certainly be copyright violation, and we cannot condone it in any +form. But it disqualifies itself as a candidate for a Trojan Horse program +quite thoroughly. + +The only file we can find online even remotely relating to this warning is a +tiny 24KB program titled USRPATCH.ZIP. It appears to come from Johan Franzn +of Twilight Garden BBS at 46-8-510-50925 (FidoNet 2:201/258). The program is +apparently authored by "Jeffe and Alex" who credit Henrik Johansson with the +discovery. It appears to simply send the AT command previously described to +the modem from the DOS command line. In this way, you can run the program, +and then your terminal program, and not have to enter the AT command at all +each time you use the modem. + +We are thoroughly confused by U.S. Robotics' warning. And any attempt to talk +to anyone within the company leads to a lot of finger pointing and referral +to other telephone numbers in an essentially endless fashion. First, the +program does nothing more than send the AT commands to the modem and U.S. +Robotics "copyright" to AT commands of any sort is openly questionable. +Secondly, there is nothing we can find wrong with this file, and the question +of a Trojan Horse program appears to be blatantly transparent fear mongering +of the worst sort. In fact, the concept of a software program causing +"irreparable damage to a hard drive mechanism is ludicrous. The most virulent +viruses and most damaging Trojan Horse programs can only damage data on hard +disk drives - not the hard disk drives themselves. This is officially and +totally utter nonsense. It was undoubtedly drafted by a lawyer to the ongoing +chagrin and mortified embarrassment of every technical person within this +fine company. + +We understand their distress. And we'll shed no tears for anyone running +garage shop EPROM mills that might be prosecuted. But technically ridiculous +warning messages do nothing but call into question the credibility of USR +itself. Trying to "scare" users into NOT entering simple commands to make the +modem they bought and paid for more capable doesn't even make sense from a +marketing standpoint. And lost in the confusion is the fact that their "Radio +Shack Intercomm" model is actually a dynamite little modem on its own merits, +at a reasonable price. That a few of the early buyers of this modem got a +good deal, can only work to U.S. Robotics benefit - if they don't work too +hard to turn it into a negative. + +There were rumors of plans within the company to introduce a BBS operator +discount price on this Sportster model of as little as $279 - which would +have been quite exciting. The current imbroglio has probably delayed this +move if indeed those were the plans.

Everything else is +included: the modem, operatorUs manual, quick-reference card, power +adapter, and telephone cable. + +Voice & Caller ID + +SupraFAXModems also support two important features voice and caller ID +that can be enabled through low-cost, user-installable firmware upgrades +available mid-1992. The voice feature allows the modems to send and +receive digitized voice and implement several voice functions. The +modems can compress and uncompress voice data for efficient storage, +generate and recognize touch tones, and sample at various frequencies, +depending on the quality level desired. This feature will be useful for +interactive applications such as voice mail, answering machines, and +digital announcers. Caller ID (where available) allows the number from +which an incoming call was dialed to be displayed on the user's screen +before the call is answered. This will be useful for secure +communications, automatic identification of incoming calls, and +interactive voice applications. + +Innovation & Chip Sets Combine For Killer Pricing At $299.95 and $399.95 +retail, respectively, the SupraFAXModem V.32 and SupraFAXModem V.32bis +are about 1/2 to 1/3 the price of similar modems.

The addition of an +Auto-Dialer allows users to quickly and accurately make phone contact with +any one of their clients from anywhere in the program. + +With the new text editing capabilities, that are used in all note fields in +SuperTime, users can now instantly generate Quick Letters from within any +contact file.

The Message Center provides complete Electronic Mail +capability, an In/Out Board, a Switchboard for centralizing the generation +and retrieval of phone messages, and a personal message retrieval center. + +Capable of organizing every facet of a large project, the Project & Task +Management area provides a structured method for creating and tracking the +everyday "To-Do" lists of individual users; allowing delegation, +scheduling, milestone reviews, and expense detailing of tasks for all +users on the system. + +The DOS Shell/Menu allows users to run SuperTime as a TSR, and enables +other applications to be selected and run from a menu within SuperTime. + +The Data Reference Libraries contain reference information (e.g. unit +conversion tables, area codes, etc.) and a pop up calculator, providing an +easy on-line reference facility. + +SuperTime version 1.1 is an MS-DOS based program and will run on any +Network OS that complies with DOS 3.x file locking protocol (including +Navell, Banyan, LAN Manager, Artisoft and Hayes), with a minimum of 512 K +available RAM on the workstation.

These adapters support +100Mbps transmission over coaxial, shielded twisted-pair (STP), and +fiber-optic cable. + +100Mbps TCNS provides affordable workstation connections. At a cost of less +than $1,250 per connection for coaxial or STP media, TCNS Micro Channel is +significantly less expensive than other proposed 100Mbps solutions over +copper- or fiber-based cabling, including FDDI. + +According to Robert Barton, TCNS product line manager for Thomas-Conrad +Corporation, Many users in the IBM community with Micro Channel machines +need TCNS to provide the extra bandwidth they don't see with 16Mbps token +ring. For applications such as multimedia or image processing, TCNS Is at +a definite advantage." + +TCNS is a token-passing, deterministic technology that is configured in a +distributed-star topology for easy network maintenance. It supports a +maximum of 255 nodes per network. The TCNS technology operates with +standard linkable, ODI and NDIS ARCNET drivers. These drivers allow TCNS +to operate in NetWare, LAN Manager, LAN Server, VINES, and POWER-LAN +environments. In addition, TCNS is compatible at the OSI Network Layer +with FDDI, Ethernet, token ring, and ARCNET LANs. + +The TCNS technology is optimized for use in imaging, document processing, +database management, and other environments where large amounts of data +need to move across the LAN quickly. TCNS first shipped one and a half +years ago, and it has rapidly gained market acceptance because the speed +it offers has not been available at an affordable cost previously. + +At present, TCNS operates on RG62/U coax, Type 1 STP, and fiber-optic +media, offering a wide range of connection costs and distances. On coax +and STP, TCNS offers an easy upgrade path for users of ARCNET and token +ring networks. + +Three TC3046 adapters will be available for IBM Type 1 shielded +twisted-pair, RG62/U coaxial, and fiberoptic media. The TC3046-STP will +list for $995; the TC3046-CX will list for $995; and, the TC3046 ST will +list for $1,395. The adapters will be available in the early second +quarter of 1992. Thomas-Conrad markets its TCNS adapters and hubs through +a worldwide network of distributors. + +-------------------------------------------------------- + +February 11, 1992 -- Thomas-Conrad has announced 8-bit 100Mbps TCNS +adapters in coax and shielded twisted-pair (STP) implementations, which +are significantly less expensive than other proposed 100Mbps solutions +over copper-based cable, including FDDI. The 8-bit adapters allow good +performance in the large population of 8088- and 286-based workstations +presently installed. + +According to Jeff Chumbley, director of strategic planning for +Thomas-Conrad Corporation, "Introducing TCNS for 8-bit processors on +copper-based media brings 100Mbps technology into the reach of users for +whom FDDI is too expensive and for whom upgrading to more powerful +workstations is not an alternative. TCNS on copper satisfies distances of +150 meters on shielded twisted-pair and 100 meters on coax. It offers a +feasible upgrade plan for existing token ring or ARCNET users that have +coax or shielded twisted-pair already installed." + +TCNS Is a token-passing, deterministic technology that is configured in a +distributed-star topology for easy network maintenance, and supports a +maximum of 255 nodes per network. The TCNS technology operates with +standard ODI or NDIS drivers and accelerated ARCNET drivers, and offers +interoperability at the OSI Network layer with FDDI, Ethernet, token ring, +and ARCNET LANs. Because TCNS uses ARCNET drivers and operates on media +commonly Installed in ARCNET and token ring network, it offers an easy +upgrade path for ARCNET and token ring networks. TCNS can operate in +NetWare, LAN Manager, LAN Server, Banyan VINES, and Performance Technology +s POWERlan environments, thus allowing easy system Interoperability. + +The TCNS technology has been shipping for one and a half years and is +marketed worldwide through a network of distributors. + +The two 8-bit copper-based adapters, the TC3042-STP TCNS Adapter/AT for +shielded twisted-pair cable and the TC3042-CX TCNS Adapter/AT for coaxial +cable list for $595. The adapters will be available late this quarter. + +-------------------------------------------------------- + +February 11, 1992 -- Thomas-Conrad has added 16/32-bit bus-mastering Micro +Channel 10BASE-T and 10BASE-2 Ethernet adapters to its Ethernet product +family. The TC5046-T 10BASE-T Ethernet Adapter is one of the first 32bit +Micro Channel adapter on the market. The TC5046-2 offers both a 10BASE-2 +connection and an AUI connector. Because these adapters use a full 32 bits +for addressing and data you can receive increased performance on your LAN +when you substitute them for other Micro Channel Ethernet adapters +presently available. + +Both the TC5046-T and the TC5046-2 adapters use the National Semiconductor +SONIC chipset, which provides support for increased network management and +diagnosis. The adapters have on-board LEDs that indicate collisions, +transmission and receipt of data, and reverse polarity--features that help +the network manager isolate and diagnose network problems. The Micro +Channel adapters are software configurable for easy installation and +comply with the IEEE 802.3 specification for Ethernet. + +According to Jeff Chumbley, director of strategic planning for +Thomas-Conrad, "The TC5046 adapters offer superior performance with their +bus-mastering design and full 32-bit driver support for both servers and +workstations. These adapters are ideal for high-performance 32-bit file +servers and workstations, and can also be used in 16-bit Micro Channel +machines." + +The TC5046-T and TC5046-2 are also available in conveniently packaged +six-pack bundles for $2,529, a savings of 9% over individually packaged +adapters. + +The TC5046 Ethernet Adapter/MC will ship in early the second quarter in +10BASE-T and 10BASE-2 versions, both priced at $449. In addition, +Thomas-Conrad manufactures 8/16-bit NE1000/2000 compatible adapters and +bus-mastering, 16-bit Ethernet adapters. The 8- and 16-bit adapters +support 10BASE-T, 10BASE-2, and 10BASE-5 environments. An eight-port +10BASE-T concentrator and 10BASE-T and 10BASE-2 transceivers are also +currently shipping. + +-------------------------------------------------------- + +January 20, 1992 -- Starting February 1 and extending through March 31, +1992, Thomas-Conrad will give users $50 in exchange for each ARCNET +adapter they trade-in for a 100Mbps TCNS RG62/U coax adapter. For those +users that need extra performance or have applications that require more +than ARCNET's 2.5Mbps transmission rate, TCNS is an ideal choice. With +this offer, users can recoup part of their initial ARCNET investment. +Approximately 4,000,000 ARCNET adapters are presently installed, many of +which run on RG62/U coaxial cable. Because TCNS is also available for +RG62/U coax, users can install it without rewiring their ARCNET LANs. + +Thomas-Conrad will accept any vendor's ARCNET adapters, regardless of the +adapter's condition. + +According to Jeff Chumbley, director of strategic planning for +Thomas-Conrad, "Many users bought ARCNET because it is reliable, +Inexpensive, and easy to troubleshoot. These same users have been waiting +for sometime for 20Mbps ARCNETPlus. With TCNS, they don't need to wait any +longer--a high-speed ARCNET-like access method is available today." + +TCNS is a 100Mbps local area network technology optimized for high-volume +and transaction-processing applications. The adapters work with most +popular network operating systems including Novell's NetWare, Banyan's +VINES, Artisoft's LANTastic, and Performance Technology's POWERLan. TCNS +adapters require no software changes to existing ARCNET networks and use +only 16KB of address space. The TCNS adapter drivers support multiple +memory address and IRQ options to provide installation flexibility with +other add-in cards. Thus, several network adapters, including TCNS can be +internally routed in a file server or dedicated device. The adapters, +which use fiber-optic, Type 1 shielded twisted-pair, or RG62/U coaxial +cable, operate under currently available Novell RX-Net drivers or +Thomas-Conrad's Accelerated ARCNET Drivers for NetWare. The TCNS adapters +connect to the network via the TCNS Smart Hub, a diagnostic hub that +supports Thomas-Conrad's HubTalkn', a network hub manager. + +To learn more about the trade-in policy, users should contact Thomas-Conrad +at 1-800-332 8683. + +-------------------------------------------------------- + +January 23, 1992 -- Effective January 20, Thomas-Conrad is dropping the +prices of its ARCNET adapters by 12-20%. The new prices will be $110 for +TC6242 8-bit coax adapters, $120 for TC6242-OTP 8-bit industry-standard +twisted-pair adapters, and $325 for TC6245 16-bit coax adapters. + +The company has also dropped prices on many of its "Six-Pack to Go" +bundles. These bundled packs offer a savings of up to 30% over +individually packaged adapters and include an offer for six free boot +ROMs. The company's TC6242 8-bit coax six-packs are $595; its TC6242 8-bit +industry-standard twisted-pair six-packs are $665; and The TC6245 16-bit +coax six-packs are $1,325. + +According to Jeff Chumbley, director of strategic planning for +Thomas-Conrad, "As a result of our commitment to World Class Manufacturing +techniques and continual, rapid improvement, we have achieved cost savings +in the manufacture of our ARCNET product line. In keeping with our +corporate philosophy of offering high quality, technically innovative LAN +products at affordable prices, we are passing these savings on to our +customers." + +These ARCNET adapters include an on-bracket node ID switch and an activity +LED for easy configuration and maintenance. Existing ARCNET drivers, +including RX-Net drivers and Thomas-Conrad's accelerated ARCNET drivers, +are compatible with the TC6242 and TC6245 family of adapters. As with +other Thomas-Conrad ARCNET adapters, the TC6242s and TC6245s operate with +Novell NetWare, Banyan VINES, Performance Technology POWERLan, Artisoft +LANtastic, and the various implementations of Microsoft's LAN Manager. + +-------------------------------------------------------- + +February 11, 1992 -- Thomas-Conrad has announced plans to join Novell's +Technical Support Alliance. The charter of the Technical Support Alliance +(TSA) is to bring industry vendors together to provide customers with a +network of comprehensive service and support.

Untouchable stand-alone and network products are designed to +operate on DOS-based PCs, compatibles and networks. + +Four features distinguish the Untouchable product line from other +anti-virus software products on the market: + +o a revolutionary product design which eliminates the need + for frequent virus signature updates; + +o a patented virus removal technique that guarantees + 100 percent restoration of recoverable infected files, + including those hit by unknown viruses; + +o automatic, load-and-forget protection that ensures the + integrity of data without interfering with the work + process; and + +o a network version that provides centralized installation + and management capabilities. + +"Untouchable sets the standard for the next generation of anti-virus +software," said Barry L. Bellue, Sr., president and CEO of Fifth +Generation Systems. "This is the virus protection software that corporate +America has been waiting for," he continued. "It is nearly impossible to +get 40,000 users at a large corporation to update their software every +three months. With Untouchable, they will have total protection against +all existing and future viruses, even if they never buy virus signature +updates." + +PRODUCT DESIGN + +Untouchable consists of three distinct anti-virus technologies that +constantly interact to detect and eradicate known and unknown viruses. + +The heart of Untouchable's detection capabilities is the file scanner, +which incorporates the principal of modification detection. This +mathematically-proven technique safeguards against known and unknown virus +threats by making unique use of file signatures rather than the +commonly-used virus signatures. + +During installation, Untouchable fingerprints and registers all files on +the PC, using proprietary file signature calculations, and stores the +information in encrypted on-line and off-line databases. Every day, +Untouchable automatically performs an integrity test of the user's files +and compares the results of this check to the information initially stored +in the database. + +If a virus is detected, Untouchable uses the database of file signatures as +a reference to reconstruct infected files to their former. "healthy" +state. Since the removal methodology does not rely on virus signatures, +Untouchable can safely restore files struck by an unknown virus. + +"No other product available today can offer this degree of protection or +guarantee 100 percent safe restoration of recoverable files," said +Bellue. + +As a first line of defense, Untouchable uses a TSR monitor that checks +system memory for known boot sector and partition table viruses. Once +loaded into memory, it is always on guard against known viruses, scanning +each file before execution and checking every diskette inserted into the +floppy drive. Running completely in the background, the TSR monitor +occupies less than 900 bytes (.9K) when loaded into expanded memory or 5K +if fully loaded in conventional memory. + +Untouchable's second line of defense is a virus scanner/remover that can +detect and eradicate hundreds of known viruses. The virus scanner is +automatically run during program installation to verify a clean +environment and is automatically launched to check all new files and +programs for viruses before they are added to the database of file +signatures. The scanner can be manually run from the command line to check +floppy disks before use. If the scanner detects a known virus, it will +restore recoverable files to their original state. + +UNTOUCHABLE NETWORK + +Untouchable Network provides Novell LAN administrators with the ability to +centrally monitor and control the entire network for viruses. + +The program uses the same methods of protection as the stand-alone version, +but incorporates enhanced LAN management features, including: + +o automatic installation and updating from one location; + +o transparent, unobtrusive operation at the workstation + +o ultimate control over the way the program operates + on every node; + +o real-time virus alert mechanisms; + +o ongoing status reports on the state of the network + from one central control panel; + +o historical logs of all status reports and virus + alerts; and + +o the ability to assign "system operators" who receive + the same alert that workstations receive. + +Untouchable Network currently provides its enhanced LAN management +facilities for the Novell Netware operating system. A network saw y +version of the product, without the LAN management features, is available +to run on Microsoft LAN Manager, Banyan Vines, 3Com and other PC network +operating systems. Bellue said, "We will expand Untouchable Network's LAN +management capabilities to other network operating systems." + +Untouchable will be available in mid-November at a suggested retail price +of $165. An Untouchable Network Starter Kit is available at a suggested +retail price of $695. The starter kit includes the server package of full +supervisor documentation and software and ten node license agreements. +License agreements for additional nodes may be purchased at a suggested +retail price of $85 per node. + +While Untouchable does not require virus signature updates to ensure +complete protection against undiscovered new viruses, Fifth Generation +Systems recognizes that some users may want them. The company will provide +quarterly virus signature updates for the virus scanner and TSR monitor, +for a service charge of $15 per quarter. + +Fifth Generation Systems is one of the leading developers of DOS and +macintosh utilities software for data security, with Untouchable for virus +protection, DiskLock for access security and encryption, and FastBack Plus +for data backup.

ViruSafe/LAN sets the standard for protection +against known and unknown viruses and, unlike other programs, can even +learn from unknown viruses to modify and enhance its defenses. + +ViruSafe/LAN has been created to work on all networks, including Novell +LANs. The $595 utility comes with a license for ten users. New network +specific features include: automatic Supervisor notification of a virus +attack on a workstation and unsurpassed flexibility in installation and +configurability. + +ViruSafe, licensed by XTree Company for distribution in North and South +America, Australia and New Zealand, was created in Israel by EliaShim +Microcomputers in 1987 to combat Jerusalem B (the first virus to attack +microcomputers). + +After years of use and hundreds of thousands of worldwide installations +(with clients ranging from the Israeli Defense Ministry to Hewlett Packard +and NASA) ViruSafe has emerged as a Fortune 1000 and government standard +in comprehensive virus detection, prevention, and elimination according to +Moti Dover, President, EliaShim Microcomputers, Inc. + +ViruSafe/LAN, now in its fourth major release, has earned the reputation +for being the most complete virus protection product available. ViruSafe +is a "user friently product that can be used by everyone in your +organization, it found more viruses than any other product tested," says +Bob Cartwright, of Chevron Information Technology. "It is the most +comprehensive packaged I reviewed." + +"ViruSafe/LAN is active, not reactive," explains King Lee, XTree Company +CEO. "ViruSafe's technology does not rely simply on known virus signatures +-- it knows how to detect activity prior to infection... as well as +after." Lee adds, "ViruSafe is time-tested and the only total solution for +protection against infection from known and unknown viruses on the market +today." + +ViruSafe/LAN - The Complete Virus Terminator + +ViruSafe/LAN monitors, detects and removes viruses in memory, file +allocation tables (FATs), boot sectors, partition tables, and root +directories as well as in executable files (or in all files). The network +utility works on both Net BIOS LAN and NetWare. + +ViruSafe/LAN is designed to give the network administrator unsurpassed +flexibility in installation and configurability. For example, ViruSafe/LAN +will display all the users on the network. From there the supervisor can +select individual users and uniquely configure ViruSafe/LAN for their +system. + +When the user logs on, ViruSafe/LAN will automatically configure and copy +the appropriate ViruSafe/LAN modules to the local workstation and update +the AUTOEXEC.BAT file (if desired). This unique time-saving feature allows +supervisors on all types of networks to individually configure and +maintain hundreds of users from one location. + +This module will also automatically collect and combine virus-checking +reports from each work station and send it back to the server where the +supervisor can monitor virus-checking activity. + +ViruSafe/LAN contains six modules -- Anti-Virus Resident Monitor, Memory +Virus Check, Scan and Remove, Program Integrity Check, Disaster Protection +and Recovery, and PC-Checkup System Information. All of the ViruSafe/LAN +modules are self-immunized against virus infection. If they are attacked +by a virus, the programs can dynamically reconstruct themselves without +forcing the user to reinstall. All modules are available in the easy menu +interface or at the command line. ViruSafe/LAN allows the supervisor to +define when ViruSafe/LAN should be active -- continuously, when scheduled, +or only run manually -- as well as which portions of the system should be +checked. + +** ViruSafe Monitor (VS.EXE) is a totally-configurable, real-time +Anti-Virus Filter TSR module (transparent to the user) which provides +continuous monitoring. (TSR uses only 12K -- 9K without help screens -- +half the size of competitive products. And it will load high, occupying as +little as OK on a 286 or 386 system.) If selected, VS will: + +ù Prevent unauthorized access to critical areas like Boot Sectors, Program +Files and Memory. + +ù Prevent viruses from entering memory before they have a chance to +replicate. + +ù Prevent any writes to your hard disk the first time a new program is +executed. + +ù Automatically check floppy diskettes for viruses the first time they are +read. + +ù Check for changes in memory sizes or interrupt values that would indicate +a virus is present. + +ù Provides a virus-free copy function that checks any files to be copied +for viruses. + +** Virus Check (VC.EXE) checks memory for any viruses and can be run from a +batch file to give protection each time the computer is turned on. Virus +Check can detect and neutralize known and unknown viruses trying to infect +programs. + +Once it has determined the activity pattern and identifying signature of +the virus, Virus Check can provide that information to the other modules +so that they can update their own defenses. For the first time, new virus +types can be identified and stopped instantly without having to receive a +software update from the publisher. + +** UNVIRUS scans and removes viruses from all files and boot sectors. This +is useful for users who may already have a virus and want to remove it +from their system. In most cases, ViruSafe/LAN can safely remove a virus +from files and leave the original file intact. + +** Program Integrity Check (PIC.EXE) registers signatures of user selected +files (or all files) and boot sectors and identifies unauthorized changes +to them -- guarding against known and unknown viruses. PIC can reconstruct +the boot sector and partition table if a change is detected, completely +neutralizing viruses. + +More Than a Virus Terminator + +ViruSafe/LAN goes beyond being amazingly powerful by providing: + +ù Easy Installation -- Easy Interface. Simple user interface + includes mouse support and point-and-shoot menus. +ù Creation of a "safe" floppy diskette to restore PC to + health -- if needed. +ù Password protection to prevent tampering with the ViruSafe + system. +ù Viewers to see memory or contents of boot track + (to scan for virus messages). +ù Comprehensive list of viruses and mutations with + descriptions of symptoms. (New virus signatures may easily + be added to the program.) + +Pricing, Availability. Requirements + +The introduction of ViruSafeLAN is accompanied by new customer service +programs at XTree Company. New virus information and updates to the +ViruSafe/LAN database can be downloaded from the company's bulletin board +service (BBS).

Currently operating under Windows 3.0, VisiNet will operate +under Windows 3.1 and OS/2 2.0 when those environments become available. +Under any of these environments, it provides a graphical user interface +and user-definable icons which allow users to create hierarchical views of +each network layer. Real-time monitoring alerts the user to critical +operating conditions and alarm events. World, country, state and regional +maps or office floor plans may be selected as backgrounds for each view; +custom images created in bit-map or DXF format may also be imported. +VisiNet's database supports the creation and maintenance of up data fields +and list boxes for objects within each node and link. Standard definition +templates, which can later be tailored to specific network needs, help +users get off to a fast start. + +A comprehensive scripting language that lets users define what is monitored +and what conditions will cause an alarm is a key VisiNet feature. The +language was designed with ease of use as a primary objective, but +standard scripts are provided for initial use and customization, allowing +gradual familiarization with the language. + +Because it polls the network constantly, VisiNet sends an alert immediately +when it detects a potential problem. This can be a visible and audible +signal; the user can then respond to the alert, clicking down to view the +cause of the alarm or change in state. + +The polling interval may be selected for each item within each object, +allowing further fine-tuning of network performance. VisiNet builds a +database of activity while it monitors the network. It maintains a +historical log, from which trouble tickets and standard reports may be +pulled for network analysis. Data may also be exported to any application +supporting Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) or Object Linking and Embedding +(OLE) for analysis or additional activity reports. + +At setup, VisiNet automatically scans the network and identifies each +active node and its configuration. Among the items VisiNet monitors are +processor type, memory capacity, LAN adapters, device drivers and the +values of environment variables. By adding the links and any other +required workstation data, the user can be up and running quickly. Each +time a user signs on, the station's hardware configuration is +automatically scanned, allowing VisiNet to maintain a constantly updated +network configuration. + +VisiSoft shipped its LAN Manager/LAN Server version in August, 1991 and its +NetWare version in November, 1991.

"Developers can +use XDB-Workbench as well as the interactive XDB tools to query, update, +report, browse and enter data directly to DB2," states Robert Strom, XDB's +Senior Development Manager. With XDB-LINK it is now possible to develop +cooperative processing applications in order to use MIS resources more +efficiently. For example, applications and data that reside in distributed +areas can be viewed as a single data center. + +The XDB-LINK product consists of two components: XDB-LINK Gateway, which +resides on the PC, and the XDB-LINK Host, which resides on the mainframe. +These components communicate via LU6.2 protocols to satisfy DB2 SQL +requests originated from the PC. The XDB-LINK works with IBM's CICS/APPC +product and VTAM. + +XDB-LINK is based on the client-server architecture and supports DOS, OS/2, +and Windows clients. In a development environment, the XDB-LINK product +extends systems level testing to the PC environment by providing access to +mainframe production data.

The XDB-SERVER is a high performance, multi-user database +system that brings the power and integrity of mainframe database systems +to LANs. The core of XDB's product line is the 100% DB2 compatible Engine. +Now with the XDB-SERVER for OS/2 version 2.41, DB2 applications become +portable to client-server platforms. Since the XDB-SERVER is network +independent, DB2 compatibility can exist on multiple platforms and +operating systems. + +The main benefits of the XDB-SERVER for OS/2 version 2.41 are increased +power and performance. Rusty Fiste, XDB's Director of Development, states, +"XDB's new, enhanced SERVER for OS/2 obtains significant performance gains +because of its improved internal buffer management system which minimizes +disk accesses." Multiple physical disk volumes are now supported. Now +developers can utilize multiple disk volumes to separate various data +objects like indices and databases thereby decreasing the amount of time +required to retrieve data. The size of a database is also no longer +limited by the size of one OS/2 disk volume. In addition, the XDB-SERVER +for OS/2 version 2.41 has greatly enhanced its query optimization. + +The XDB-SERVER takes maximum advantage of OS/2 technology. One of the Beta +sites chose XDB-SERVER because they wanted DB2 compatibility on their PC +LAN. Igor Kruglyak, Assistant Vice President & Systems Architect with +Merrill Lynch in Somerset, NJ, states, "We have many users that need to +share DB2 data and the XDB-SERVER provides the fully DB2 compatible +technology for mainframe applications to migrate to the LAN environment." + +-------------------------------------------------------- + +February 11, 1992 - Laurel, MD-XDB Systems, Inc., the SQL technology +leader, will be featuring Version 2.41 of the XDB-Workbench. The new +engine supports both DOS and OS/2 and is designed to provide an +unprecedented level of compatibility with IBM's mainframe relational +database DB2. The XDB-Workbench 2.41 enables COBOL programmers to develop, +test, and run DB2 applications in an inexpensive and friendly PC +environment. XDB has added numerous functions to their new version of +their Workbench 2.41 in order to fine tune their compatibility with DB2. +Rusty Fiste, XDB's Director of Development says, "This latest version of +our workbench delves deep into the distinctive characteristics of DB2." +XDB's reserved words were also made fully compatible with DB2. "This +release further underscores our commitment to ensure 100% compatibility +between XDB's Workbench and DB2," states Rusty Fiste. + +"XDB's Workbench version 2.41 is well suited for downsizing mainframe DB2 +applications, where DB2 compatibility is a crucial consideration. XDB has +made a remarkable commitment to capture the subtle intricacies of the +DB2/SQL engine," says Jonathan Sayles, Director of Education Services for +The Systems Group and a nationally recognized author on relational +technology. Rick Slade, Senior Research Analyst at Sara Lee in +Winston-Salem, North Carolina said, "I chose the XDB-Workbench for +PC-based development because no recoding would be required when we moved +our project back up to the mainframe." + +In addition to DB2 compatibility enhancements, other Product enhancements +include additional referential integrity clauses, date/time functions, +string functions, numeric functions, table privileges, and database +privileges. The XDB-Workbench is the first PC SQL DBMS to provide the +rigorous referential integrity constraints including cascading update, a +fundamental data manipulation function that involves modifying data +records in a continuous series so that all corresponding data is brought +up to date. + +XDB Systems sets the standards for database management. Following the +release of the XDBWorkbench Version 2.41, XDB Systems, Inc. will be +releasing their new XDB-LINK product and their new version of the XDB +SERVER engine for OS/2. The XDB-LINK permits PC applications to directly +access mainframe DB2 data. Developers can use the interactive XDB tools to +query, update, report, browse and enter data directly to DB2. The XDB +SERVER for OS/2, a multi-user database system that brings the power and +integrity of mainframe database systems to LANS, will feature increased +power and memory size enhancements. + +-------------------------------------------------------- +XDB Systems, Inc. offers high performance database solutions that are +powerful, easy to use, and compatible with industry SQL standards. The +XDB-Workbench Version 2.41 makes your PC a complete DB2 applications +development machine. The list price of the XDB-Workbench in $1500.00.

The company has added new features +and revamped its licensing policy, making it more cost efficient for +administrators of large networks with multiple server environments. + +Shipping now, XTreeNet 2.07 delivers an unprecedented set of file- and disk +management features designed to give complete control of the network to +the administrator. New features include remote control capabilities which +allow users to control other workstations from a single PC. XTreeNet also +offers full support for all NetWare 386 directory and file attributes. + +New Licensing Policy + +Effective immediately, users of XTreeNet 2.07 can purchase server +extensions for only U.S.$100. This means that users no longer have to +purchase additional product in order to access other servers on the +network through XTreeNet. XTree Company decided to revamp its licensing +product in order to make it more cost efficient for administrators of +multiple server environments, explains Brad Bowen, XTree Company Network +Product Manager. + +Like all XTree products, the new XTreeNet Version 2.07 provides the +familiar graphical tree display of a disk's directory structure, allowing +the easy manipulation of files by using the advanced commands found in the +program. XTreeNet 2.07 can also access local drives as well as file server +volumes. In addition, XTreeNet's new peer-to-peer capability allows access +to any workstation on the network, thereby giving the administrator +unparalleled distributed file management capabilities. + +Peer-to Peer Communications + +Using advanced communication techniques, XTreeNet 2.07 can now view and +manipulate files of any workstation on the network. For the first time, +files on distant workstations can be copied, deleted, and edited from one +location. Instead of running from machine to machine, the administrator +can manage the entire network from his desk enabling workstations to be +setup and maintained with the highest level of convenience. + +Other special network capabilities include: + +* log entire or partial drives +* display and modify all NetWare information associated + with directories and files +* map network drives +* send output from any program to any printer on the network + +Advanced File Management Features + +To provide the most complete set of file management capabilities in any +network utility, XTreeNet 2.07 has advanced capabilities for searching and +rapidly finding data in any file or set of files. + +For example, users can search for any group of files for data they need by +specifying any convenient character sequence, such as a name or date they +remember. + +Within seconds, XTreeNet automatically tags all files containing the +specified data string for further file management operations, such as +directly viewing, copying, or modifying parts of these files even when +stored in Lotus 1-2-3, Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, MultiMate, or any +popular data file format. + +The applications which created these files can then be LAUNCHed +automatically. Text can also be GATHERed in blocks from these files and +moved to a printer or directly into another file -- all with simple, easy +keystrokes. + +At the touch of a single key, a split-screen window capability lets users +see and manipulate files in two unrelated directory trees side-by-side. To +speed and simplify repetitive operations, every XTreeNet command maintains +a history for instant recall by either keystroke or click of a mouse +button. + +Another exclusive feature of XTreeNet 2.07 is the Archive command that +saves time, money and valuable hard disk space by compressing files into +the industry standard .ARC format. Compressed files can be transferred to +disks quicker, using fewer diskettes. They can also be sent via modem or +downloaded from on-line services like CompuServe and MCI faster, reducing +telephone costs and on-line access fees. + +Other new features include PRUNE and GRAFT commands, which allow the moving +or deleting of entire directory tree structures as quickly, easily, and +safely as moving a single file. + +XTreeNet 2.07 also provides a powerful, easy-to-use interface to the +network operating system and all other application software through the +use of an application menu. Up to 12 items can be placed on the menu, and +when selected, will execute the commands assigned to that menu. Using the +application menu or the command shell, XTreeNet can collapse to take up a +minimum amount of RAM when other programs are executed. + +Highest Level of Network Security + +In addition to its disk management capabilities, XTreeNet 2.07 also offers +network supervisors the highest level of security available in the network +environment. "XTreeNet's advanced security features are the result of +extensive research with experienced network managers," explains Bowen. + +XTreeNet 2.07 enhances NetWare's security features by allowing the +supervisor to restrict XTreeNet commands to users or groups based upon +their needs in a particular directory. For further file protection, only +the files and directories to which a user has access rights will be shown +in the XTreeNet display. + +Pricing, Availability, Requirements + +XTreeNet 2.07 is shipping now through the vendor's distributor network, +which includes Ingram Micro, Kenfil, Merisel, Software Resource, and XTree +Authorized Resellers, which include CompUSA, Egghead, Software City, +Software Etc., and other nationwide chains. + +The Advanced/SFT/386 version will retail for U.S.$495. Registered XTreeNet +1.0 users can upgrade for U.S.$149 (plus $4.95 shipping/handling). + +Registered XTreeNet 2.0 customers can upgrade for only U.S.$49 (plus $4.95 +shipping and handling.) + +Server extensions may be purchased for U.S.$100 each, with no limit, +although a base copy of XTreeNet 2.07 must be installed. + +XTreeNet 2.07 requires an IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2, or a 100% compatible +computer workstation, DOS 3.1 or above, 256K and Novell Advanced NetWare +version 2.1 or above.

We have been beta-testing + the A4000 and another model which may be called the A1000 Classic, + A800, or possibly some other name. Both are based on the AA chipset + and should be able to hold their own against other machines on the + market, but there are still a few areas where they are lacking. + + The A4000 is pretty much an A3000 with an 040 on the motherboard, the + AA chipset instead of the ECS, and beta 2.1 ROMS. Ours has 16M fast + RAM and 4M chip, expandable to 64M and 16M respectively. ZIP RAM like + that in the A3000 is used, but there is a chance that production + machines will go to SIMMS. Our machine has a 105M Quantum hard drive + and a true full- speed high-density floppy. The expansion slots are + Zorro III and appear to be identical to those on the A3000. I am not + positive, but the cpu slot looks to be the same as the one found on + the A3000. + + The other machine is housed in pizza-box style case 3" high and 15" + wide and deep. It has a 16MHz 030, the AA chipset, 2.1 ROMS, and + sockets for up to 16M fast RAM and 4M chip RAM. It has the same + floppy drive as the A4000, but the hard drive is only a 52M Quantum. + There is a daughterboard with two Zorro III slots and one inline video + slot, but it looks to be very cramped in there. The cpu slot is in + the same orientation as that of the A3000 and A4000, but there is not + much clearance. It is a very nice compact package and manages to look + even "sexier" than the A3000/A4000. + + Both machines sport the same I/O ports, starting with the same ports + found on the A3000. The floppy drive and serial ports are now stacked + in the same way as the SCSI and parallel ports, as are the RGBA, VGA, + and audio ports. There is a microphone port that works with the built- + in digitizer, with 8bit 22kHz sampling possible. Not exactly CD + quality, but better than the toy CODEC samplers found on the NeXT, + Mac, and others. The keyboard and mouse ports are on the rear of the + machine, with the joystick ports stacked vertically. This stacking + leaves just enough room for a pair of MIDI ports and another port that + was covered with a plastic cap on both of our units. We pried it off + and it looks like a PCMIA slot, but we've not been able to confirm + this. Given that the A600 has one, this would not be a bad idea, + but it seems odd that it was covered up like that. + + The new mouse looks to be the same as the pregnant mouse, but the + A3000 came with a three button and the other machine a two button. + Both had standard A3000 keyboards. The most shocking thing about + these machines is how much they feel like existing Amigas instead of a + new breed. + + + The AA chipset is a real improvement over the ECS, but it may not be + enough to keep the Amiga competitive for another 7 years. Some of the + chips are similar to those in the ECS, but none look to be drop-in + replacements for existing machines. Agnus, Denise, and Paula have + been improved and all three are now surface mount chips roughly the + size of the fat Agnus. There are three other chips that have tape + covering the names, but one of them is certainly an Amber type de- + interlacer chip. It has what 1M of VRAM in order to handle the + increased color depths and de-interlaces all but the highest + resolution modes. We peeled back the tape a bit on the other two + and one is named Lisa, the other was just a number. The Lisa chip + appears to be responsible for the graphics, but its relationship with + Agnus and Denise is not so clear. The other chip may be the rumored + DSP chip, but none of the software we have mentions it specifically. + There is an A/D chip for the microphone and two D/A chips for the + audio in the same general area, so they are probably related. + + Amiga owners will be surprised at some of the features of the AA + chipset and disappointed with others. The resolutions supported are + similar to those of the ECS, with the addition of the 800x300, 800x600 + interlaced, 1280x480, and 1280x960 interlaced. The Amber de- + interlacer works with all of the modes, but most SVGA monitors can't + handle the non-interlaced 1280x960 mode. All modes can be up to 8 + bitplanes except for the 1280 modes, which are limited to six. The + palette is 24 bit, but there is a way to simulate 12 bit for + compatibility with some older software. A pleasant surprise is the + SuperHAM mode which uses 10 bits to allow for pseudo-24 bit color. + This works in the 320 and 640 modes and is nothing short of + spectacular, with the bonus of being able to handle up to 30fps for + some amazing animation. The 800 and 1280 modes have 8 bit 256k color + and 6 bit 4096 color HAM modes, respectively. There is still a + problem with fringing on raw images, but the better programs seem to + do a pretty good job with reducing the problem. The sprites now + change to match the resolution of the screen, so pointers look much + more professional. They may be up to 64 pixels wide, with no height + limitation. There are still only eight per scanline, but the number + of colors is up to 16 in all modes except for 1280, which is only + four. All in all, these Amigas have graphics that hold their own + against offerings for the PC and Mac, but they won't be able to last + for another seven years without improvement. + + We have not done much with the audio, but 16 bit four channel sound in + up to 56kHz is available. A neat trick is that up to 8 8 bit channels + at 56kHz and up to 16 8 bit 28kHz channels can be emulated. We don't + have any software that takes advantage of these modes with the + exception of the digitizer, but there is a lot of potential. + + The 2.1 OS is pretty much the same as what has been posted on the + nets, but it really looks awesome on the new displays. We have found + the 800x600 256 color Workbench to be very nice and snappy enough to + be useable. The blitter may have been improved, but it does not feel + like it is 4x faster as some like to claim. There are only a few + programs that don't work on these machines, and all of those are pre- + 2.04. If the developers have followed the guidelines set by + Commodore, they should not have any problems. + + There will probably be more than a few folks who are pissed off by me + letting the cat out of the bag, but it looks like something is needed + to keep more people from joining the mass exodus. These machines are + stable enough for production, but the higher-ups seem to have their + heads up their asses and won't release them. I guess I really should + not even bother trying to figure out Commodore's idiocy, but it is + frustrating to see such potential wasted. + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/textfiles.com/computers/a5000.txt b/textfiles.com/computers/a5000.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..1e0e89a4 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/computers/a5000.txt @@ -0,0 +1,235 @@ + + + . . + /\_ /| /\_ /\_ /\_ /| /\_ /\_ /\_ + / _ \ | / _ \ / _ \ /__ \ / | /__ \ / _ \ /__ \ + __ / |__\|__/ | \ | \ | \ |__/ | \ | \ | \ __ +__ /\_/_// __| | \_ | \ | \ | \ |A \_ _ \ | \ | \\_\_  /\__ + \/ \_\\ | | / | / | / | / |V / | / | / | //_/ \/ + .:\__|\_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/__|__/__|__/_____/:. + ø---------------------------------------------------------ø + #08-865804 -- PLEASE CALL AT 9600 / HST -- #08-865804 + + Be very welcome to **FLOODLAND BBS - Hagsatra ! + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + + Great File Areas! + + Great Mail Areas! + + Great Porno Areas! + + No Shit -- Great Axs To Great Users ! + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + + +«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»×«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«» + /\ /XX/ D·E·C·A·D·E S·W·E·D·I·S·H H·E·A·D·Q·U·A·R·T·E·R·S \XX\ +/ \ .__. |\ .__. +\__/ __ | |_____________________ _______| \ ._____ __ | |______________ +| \/ \| | _ / ________ \/ ___. | \|____ \/ \| | ____/ ___/ +| \ \ | \ / _)__| _ _/ |__| _ \ _ \ \ | |__/\ _)_. +| \ \ | \/\ | | | \_ | | \ | \ \ | | \ | | +|__ / |\__|__ / \______|__| /____| |____/__| / |\__|_____ /_____| +` \/ | \/ |___/ |__| |__/ |r0t0x!'93\/ ' + \__| \__| +«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»×«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«» + This file was downloaded from: + _______ __ __ _______ ___________ ______ ______ + /__ __// /_/ // _____/ / _____/\__ \ / ____// ____/ + / / / __ // ___/ / ___/ / \/ // /\ // ___/ + /_/ /_/ /_/ \__/ \__/ /____/ \_\/_/ \__/ + + -*- The Silents World Head-Quarters -*- + 0 Day Amiga & 0 Day Console Warez! + 3 Nodes! all 16.8 Dual HST's + Running GVP 33Mhz!

This is the first machine +to really support multi-tasking with it's three processors on board. + +Processors +---------- + +The A5000 will incorperate the new motorola 68060 + two 68EC040 processors, +the '060' is clocked at over 35MHz and the two '040' clocked at 25Mhz +will give the A5000 a total speed at over 60MHz. The '060' with sit on a +seperate card in the cpu slot (as in the A4000) and both the '040' will +sit on the motherboard. The '040' have been design to help the '060' ,this +will be most evident at times of heavy multi-tasking. As a result of this +configuration the A5000 will have a new kickstart. + +Kickstart/Workbench +------------------- + +The A5000 will have kickstart/workbench 4.0 (beta version has 3.2). This +kickstart is required to control the three processors , earlier kickstarts +will not be able to access the '040' (but the '060' can). This kickstart +will not be released for the older machines although 4.1 will. This +kickstart/workbench will enable the '040' to be assigned to different tasks +and as shiped one will handle all screen and sound processing and the other +will handle all of the I/O devices. This kickstart is a 1Mb chip and will +be shipped on the hard drive (to be confirmed). If it is released in chip +form then the chip will be placed on it's own card. This kickstart will have +a user-selectable kickstart screen so the user can select which kickstart to +load (either in slot or on harddrive) and the A5000 has been tested with +kickstart 1.2 upwards so there will be no more compatability problems. + +Chipset +------- + +Commodore have done it again in changing the chipset as there are several +new chips. The A5000 with workbench 4 is now capable of operating in all +modes with a 512 colour pallet. To maintain the speed require to operate +in this mode one of the '040' can be assigned to the screen display (as +it is shipped). The maximum screen resolution is 4096 x 4096 with over +32 million colours on screen. This new chipset will be able to detect which +chipset it should use (orig. ,ECS ,super-ECS or AGA , super AGA ) by +detecting which kickstart is currently running or which is selected at a +cold boot. + +Ram +--- + +As the new chipset has a higher resolution and more colours more chip ram is +required and commodore have responded by having 16Mb of chip ram on the +motherboard (expandable to 64Mb) and 16Mb of fast ram (theoretically +expandable to 1024Mb, tested to 256Mb). The chip and fast ram have been +organised on a 32-bit wide structure as in the A3000 + A4000. + +Drives +------ + +The harddrive interface is the new scsi2 standard with a 210Mb slimline +hardrive mounted as standard. The floppy drive is a high density type and +the CD-drive is a standard A2000 internal drive. + +Sound +----- + +The sound is now 16-bit as the A4000 was supposed to have. + +Internal Connectors +------------------- + +There are eight zorro III expansion slots with three IBM slots in parallel +with three zorro slots. There is no cpu slot as the '060' is on it's own +board and thus can easily replaced. If the kickstart is to be shipped on +the harddrive there will be an empty slot to place a new kickstart. + +External Connectors +------------------- + +It has all the standard ports (disk drive, serial, etc.) and the keyboard +connector (same pins as the A4000) at the back, the mouse ports are on the +right side towards the back. + +Price +----- + +Well that depends on what pack you want as as of this moment there are two + +1 all above = $3499 (Appox.) + +2 all above plus + + Amax v3.0 Mac emulator (100% compatable with all known software) + + + Golden gate IBM emulator = $3999 (Approx.)(uses two zorro III slots) + + + + +This information has been confirmed by Commodore. + + + .....and don't forget to call..... + + + ___ . . . * . . + . / /\ *_________ _______ _______ . ______ + / / / /\ \ . \ \ . /\ \ ./\ \ . +o . /__/ /_ . / \ \ . \ \ / \ \/ \ \ + /__/\ \/\__ / \________\ / \______\. / \______\ \_____\ + _\__\ \ / /\./ / _______// \_ __ \/ / ___ / / ____/ + . /__/\/ \ \/ // / / \ .__/ / / \ \ / / \/_/ / /__\ + / /\ /\ \ // / /___\. \ \ / /\ \ \ / /\____\ / ____/ + / / /\ \ \ \// / _____/___\ \ / / \ / / / /\/__ / / / \ * + /__/ \ \ \_\/ \ / / \ \/ /____\/ / / /___\/ /\/ /_____\ + \__\/\ \ \ \ \ / / \__________/\/________/ \_______/ + \ \ \_\/ . \/ \_____________________________________________\ . + \ \ \ \ / + \__\/ \ -*- The Silents World Head-Quarters -*- / + \____________________________________________/ . + . . . . . . . + . .

The 8080 +was, defendably, the "first" microprocessor.1 When the 8080 was +invented, memory for computers was very expensive. The 8080 could +directly address 64 thousand bytes of information, which was a very +great deal in those days. Few systems (or more correctly, few +system owners) could afford to actually place a full 64 K of memory +in their systems. But things changed quickly. The Silicon Valley +guys learned to make transistors smaller and better and it became +much more economically feasible to talk about fully populated 64K +machines. On the software front, things like spreadsheets and word +processors were being invented. These programs were hungry for +memory and the microcomputer user rapidly outgrew the 64K box. + + Before going on with the story, a little digression into the +origins of the 64K limit. This limit was the direct result of the +fact that the CPU chip had only 16 address lines. The address +lines are a set of wires coming out of the CPU which allow the CPU +to indicate what item of memory it wants to read or write. In most +computers, the size of the "pieces" are bytes, or 8-bit characters. +These 16 wires are called the Address Bus. The voltages on the 16 +address lines are interpreted as a binary number (with the first +pin representing the 1's place, the second pin representing the 2's +place, the third pin representing the 4's place, etc.) the +resultant number is the Address being addressed by the CPU. The +number of distinct patterns of 16 things, each of which can have +two values, is 2 raised to the 16th power, or 65536. This number +is 64 times the quantity "1K" which is 1024. (Early on, +programmers engineers decided to use the "K" as a unit of counting +things like memory because it was a nice power of two and figured +it was close enough to a "real" thousand that nobody would notice). +The point of this story is that the original microprocessors could +only address 64K because of the simple reason that they only had +16 address lines. Why didn't they just build one with more address +lines? Well its not that simple. Those address lines had to have +circuitry driving them, and other circuitry to actually generate +the 16-bit addresses, and other circuitry to decode the new +instructions that would use more than 16 bits, and so on, and so +on. And this circuitry was made of transistors. And, +unfortunately, the state of the art of chip manufacturing did not +allow chips to be built with many more transistors. So, mankind +waited for the silicon boys to learn how to fit more transistors +on one raisin-sized chip. + + Meanwhile, back the ranch, The Intel Corporation, in a stroke +of electromarketing genius took the basic 8080 architecture and +doubled up a small portion of the internal workings of the CPU's +address circuitry. They basically duplicated the address register +(the transistors that hold the pattern of bits to place on the +address bus), slid it left 4 bits, and added some simple circuitry +to add it arithmetically to the "old" address register. An so was +born the infamous Intel Segment Register. By making this simple +kluge to the 8080, Intel created the 8086 and 8088 microprocessors +which now effectively had TWENTY address lines and could therefore +address 2 to the 20th locations, a little over one million bytes. +This new unit was called a Megabyte even those it was further away +from a million than a "K" was from a thousand, but then again you +bought the "K", didn't you? The 20 bit address bus allowed the new +amazing spreadsheets to really do some amazing things. This, in +turn allowed Intel to beat competitor Motorola to the marketplace +(who were expanding the address bus the "right" way in their 68000 +family). This in turn led IBM to select the Intel family over +Motorola's as the basis of their new PC, and the rest is history. + + Using the power of the 8088, the Microsoft corporation adapted +the CP/M operating system to the new chip, and, using its new +power, created MS-DOS. Because of a lot of reasons, the 8088 and +MS-DOS took over the world. And everyone was happy. Except ..... +the programmers kept getting more bold in the ways they found to +use memory, and the users wanted still BIGGER spreadsheets, and +started playing with things like CAD/CAM, DBMSs, Artificial +intelligence, desktop publishing, etc, all of which had insatiable +appetites for memory. The silicon boys kept up with the hunger by +developing bigger and better CPUs, the 80286, 80386, 80486 etc.). +These 80286 had a 24-bit address bus and could therefore address +16 MB of memory directly. No one could possibly want to put that +much actual memory in a PC, right? In a pre-emptive first strike, +they also created 80386 which had a 32-bit address bus and could +therefore address 2 to the 32 bytes or over 4 billion +bytes! (Pow! Bam! Take THAT, Power User). The day had finally +come when the CPUs sitting on desktops could finally address more +memory than anyone could afford to buy. +----------- +1 Yes, there was an 8008, and a 4004 before that, but their only, +surviving significance today is that they were the predecessors of +the 8080. +---------- + + End of problem, right? Wrong. Unfortunately, there were +millions and millions of the 20-bit machines out there now (in the +mid-1980's). Probably more significantly there were hundreds of +millions of dollars invested in MS-DOS software that did not know +how to use the new 32-bit instructions and capabilities. +Especially MS-DOS. (Unix and OS/2 and a number of other less well- +known operating environments do use the 32-bit mode, but MS-DOS was +still king). Because Intel wanted to sell more than 3 of these new +chips, they wisely decided to build "modes" into the new chips to +make them compatible with MS-DOS. A Mode is essentially a switch, +inside the CPU that turns it into another chip, insofar a all +logical functionality is concerned. So when you're running MS-DOS +on your shiny new 386 or 486, you're still running with only 20 +bits of address and consequently a 1 MB address space. This mode +is called real mode and the lower 1 MB of addressable memory in +real mode is called conventional memory. + + The solution? EMS or Expanded Memory Specification. + + +EXPANDED MEMORY + + Expanded memory is a way to allow more than 1 MB of memory to +be used by MS-DOS applications. How can this be? The CPU can only +address 1 million different addresses; how can I have more than +one MB in my PC? The answer is that the CPU re-uses the same +address to get to more than one byte of data. It does this by +allowing any one address to actually be used to reference several, +distinct, physically different storage locations - but only one at +a time, of course. + + EMS memory usually resides on special "EMS cards", like the +AST "RAMPage". (I say usually because there are some clever ways +of implementing EMS on 80286 and 80386 machines that don't use +"special" EMS cards; this is discussed later in the section +entitled "Software Approaches to EMS"). The EMS card has memory +chips on it just like regular system memory cards. The difference +is that the memory chips on the card are not connected directly to +the CPUs address bus. These chips are actually wired to another +address bus, totally contained on the card, that has more than 20 +address bits, usually 24 or so. Where do these extra address bits +come from? Well some of them are just passed-through systems +address bits. The rest come from special storage locations onboard +the EMS card, called page registers. How are these page registers +loaded? These registers are themselves directly addressable by the +CPU. To access a byte of data in EMS memory, the CPU first loads +the page register (itself simply another location accessible by the +CPU) and then makes a normal memory reference. Some of the bits +come from the address bus, and the rest come from the bits +previously squirreled away in the page registers. Thus, it can be +seen that a given address on the regular CPUs address bus forms +only part of the address needed to select a particular byte of +memory on the EMS card. To uniquely identify a byte, you need to +specify the regular address plus the contents of the page register. +It follows that one CPU address can correspond to several EMS +memory locations, each of which differs only by the contents of the +page register. The CPU can thus access more than 1 MB of memory +on the EMS card by using its normal address bus augmented by the +page registers. + +HOW IT ALL FITS TOGETHER + + In the early versions of EMS, all EMS memory was mapped to +appear to be in a special address range in the range of all +possible addresses accessible by the CPU. This was usually at +addresses between D0000 and DFFFF (in hexadecimal notation). This +includes exactly 64KB possible addresses. This area of address +space is called the Page Frame, an analogy to a frame around a +picture. The page frame is logically divided into 4 16KB "pages".1 +When we say that the EMS memory is "mapped" into this range, what +we mean is that the EMS card does not respond to any addresses +outside this range. When an address is placed on the address bus +---------- +1 For the sake of simplicity in the following discussion, the +multi-page nature of the page frame will not be mentioned further. +The explanations apply to each page within the page frame +individually. It should also be noted that, strictly speaking, the +4-page, 64 KB page frame applies only to EMS versions 3.2 and +earlier. In EMS 4.0+, the page frame is not limited to just 4 +pages and can, in fact, be all or partially located within the 640 +KB address range normally occupied by conventional RAM. This +feature is used by various multitasking overlays to DOS, such as +Desqview, which actually allow program code to be paged in and out. +---------- + outside this range, the EMS board remains totally passive, just +like it was not plugged in at all. When the CPU asserts an address +within this range, the EMS board comes to life and responds like +regular memory. When the CPU references the EMS address space, the +CPUs address bits are used along with the page register bits to +actually specify which EMS byte to access. The net effect is to +make the EMS card memory appear as a series of "banks" which can +be made (one at a time) to masquerade as "real" system memory at +a certain address in the range D0000-DFFFF hex. These banks are +called EMS pages. Within each page, the practically any byte +addressed is selected by the system address bus bits that were +passed through by the EMS circuitry. The particular page selected +is determined by what value was previously written into the EMS +page registers. All the physical EMS memory locations that respond +to a common value in the page registers are said to be in the same +page. That is, once that special value is loaded into the page +register, any of those locations can be accessed by the CPU using +normal memory read/write instructions. If another value is loaded +into the page registers, a totally different set of EMS memory +bytes (i.e, physically different transistors) are made to respond +to the same CPU addresses as before. + + The model that this behavior suggests is that the EMS memory, +divided up into 16K pages, exists out in limbo somewhere, and is +unable to be addressed by the CPU in any way. The CPU can however +invoke the right magic to instantaneously plug any one of these +disembodied pages right into its addressable memory space. The +magic consists of loading the Holy Page Register. The CPU can, +with equal ease, banish that same page back into limbo, by putting +a different value in the page registers. The thing that makes this +magic useful is that, any data stored in an EMS page is faultlessly +remembered even after it has been banished to zombie land. And, +furthermore, that data can be read by the CPU just by remapping it +into the address space. + + This means that an MS-DOS program can juggle megabytes of +memory resident data using just 20 address bits in good old 8088 +real mode. Of course at any one given instant, most of that data +is in zombie land, but no matter, it can be called back from the +netherworld with a simple, hardware-assisted incantation in +microseconds. + +EMS MEMORY MANAGERS OR DRIVERS + + Each manufacturer of an EMS board is free to actually design +the actual circuitry of his EMS board to suit his whim, his +engineers, and his marketing plan. Most boards are different in +a real, physical way from one another. The magic incantations +necessary to shuffle EMS pages between here and Hoboken is +different for each one. Does each application program need to know +which particular brand/model of board is plugged in and what its +religion is? Fortunately not. Enter the Enhanced Memory +Specification. EMS is a specification of a standardized way that +applications interact with EMS hardware. This interaction is via +the software interrupt feature of the 8088/MS-DOS. All +applications that wish to use EMS memory call interrupt 67H the +same way with the same arguments, no matter who made the board. +When the interrupt is issued, control passes to the memory resident +EMS management software, usually called either an EMS memory +manager or EMS driver (same thing). This piece of software is +unique to each brand of board and is normally supplied by the +boards vendor. It is the express purpose of this piece of software +to turn the standard EMS invocation arguments into the particular +set of hardware incantations understood by the board. Beware +mixing boards and drivers from different sources! This may work +in rare circumstances but will eventually lead to consumption of +excessive amounts of alcoholic beverages. + +EXTENDED MEMORY + + OK. Now we know how EMS works: it expands a selected 64KB- +sized range of addresses in the CPUs address space to several +megabytes by paging-in one chunk at a time. But what about +"Extended Memory"?. Actually extended memory is a much simpler +concept. Remember those unused address lines in the 80286 and +80386? (MS-DOS and other real-mode applications only use the first +20 of the 80286's 24 and the 80386's 32). They were not put there +for decoration. The CPU can be put in Protected Mode and can then +use those extra address lines to address megabytes and megabytes +of memory without needing the help of the special EMS hardware like +page registers and private (EMS-card) address busses. In protected +mode, the CPU can address all physical memory in the same, natural +way. In fact, the one megabyte boundary loses all significance, +except for the painful memory of what it used to be like back in +that awful 20-bit real mode. Extended memory is thus just like +conventional memory, just extended up to higher addresses. The +down side is, of course, that MS-DOS does not know how to switch +into protected mode, and wouldn't know what to do there if it did. +Rectifying this shortcoming, and all its implications, is the sole +reason for OS/2. + +SOFTWARE APPROACHES TO EMS IMPLEMENTATION + + The discussion of EMS so far has talked exclusively about +hardware approaches to EMS. In the 8088, hardware must be employed +to supplement the deficiencies of that chip. In the 80286 and +80386, however, there are software-only methods to give the same +functionality as EMS hardware. Both approaches use extended memory +for the storage of EMS page data. + + In the 80286, EMS memory contents are brought into the 1 MB, +conventionally-addressable range by physically copying 16 KB blocks +of memory to and from extended memory. The EMS "page" that the +application program sees is actually a block of conventional memory +that has been filled with the contents of a block of extended +memory. The copying is done by a piece of software known as an +EMS Emulator (driver) which is usually loaded like other DOS device +drivers in CONFIG.SYS. Note that to access the extended memory, +the EMS Driver must switch into protected mode, copy the data, then +hightail it back into real-mode to keep DOS happy. The extended +memory blocks, in this scheme, are emulating a block of memory that +would normally be physically resident on the EMS card. Note that +these are not really "paged"-in in the same sense as true EMS +pages, nor is there any "mapping" going on. All physical memory +contents retain their actual addresses as far as the CPU is +concerned, only there contents are copied back and forth. + + The advantage of this scheme is that EMS functionality can be +achieved in machines without actual EMS hardware. A disadvantage +of this scheme is its performance. Whole 16K blocks must be moved +to access a new page (which takes milliseconds), in contrast to +"true" EMS where just a page register must be loaded (which takes +microseconds). Another disadvantage is the fact that some precious +conventional memory is consumed by the emulated page frame. + + In the 80386, the solution is much more elegant. In true EMS, +the contents of the page registers can be thought of as a memory- +mapping table. That is, the contents of the page register, in +essence, point to a particular block of EMS-card-resident memory - + change the page register contents and a new physical page shows +up in the page frame. The 386 was designed for operating systems +much more sophisticated than MS-DOS; these operating systems take +for granted the presence of memory mapping capability. The 80386 +has, in fact, an internal memory mapping facility much more +sophisticated than the crude, bank-oriented page registers of an +EMS card. The 386's memory management unit allows any arbitrary- +sized chunk of physical memory to be mapped to anywhere in the +address space, including the lower 1 MB. And, most importantly, +to the address were an EMS-aware application expects to find the +page frame and the EMS pages contained therein. With the 80386, +hardware within the CPU performs the mapping previously done by EMS +hardware. Programming of the CPUs mapping registers is performed +by a device driver usually known as an Expanded Memory Manager. +Memory managers are written to run on the (standard) 80386 and not +some particular vendor's EMS hardware. This allows third-party +vendors to produce EMS emulators for any 80386. Examples are +"QEMM-386" by Quarterdeck Systems and "386-to-the-Max" by Qualitas. + + Finally, there is one more software approach to EMS that can +be used with any machine. That approach is called Virtual EMS and +employs a system's hard disk as storage for EMS pages. A device +driver intercepts EMS calls in much the same way as the approach +described above for the 80286, except that copying is done between +a page frame in conventional memory, and sectors of your hard disk. +This is a clever approach, and allows EMS memory to be much greater +than the amount of memory in your machine, but, because disk is +thousands of times slower than semiconductor memory, this approach +should only be used by the terminally desperate. + + APPENDIX - SUMMARY FOR USERS + + EMS is the specification of a software technique for making +more than 640 KB (the normal DOS limit) available to your programs. +Put simply, EMS reserves a block of memory space in your PC and +allows a block of RAM (usually resident on an EMS card) to be +switched into that address range. There are generally many +identical blocks of RAM present on the EMS card, each and any one +of which can be "plugged" in -- only one at a time. Your CPU can +use one of these blocks to store data in, and then switch in +another block, store data in that, switch in yet another block, and +so on, and so on. Later, the CPU can recall these blocks in the +same or different order and read back the original data. In many +ways, this performs the same function as your system's disk -- +except that it's all done in solid-state memory and is thousands +of times faster. + + There are four approaches to actually implementing EMS, +depending to some extent, on what type of machine you have. These +approaches are: + + - an EMS memory card (like the AST "Rampage") [any DOS + computer, but usually 8088s or 80286s] + + - an EMS emulator [80286 or 80386, but usually only + on 80286's] + + - an Extended Memory Manager [386 only] (for example + Quarterdeck System's "QEMM-386 or Qualitas's "386- + to-the-Max" ) + + - a Virtual Memory Manager [any DOS machine] + + An EMS memory card is more than just a memory expansion card: +it contains special circuitry to perform the bank-switching +operation discussed above. To use an EMS card, you will have to +perform two steps: +(1) Configure the EMS card hardware to match your computer's +configuration and (2) install a special EMS card driver for the +board in your CONFIG.SYS file. Details and procedures differ for +different makes and models of EMS cards. Consult your EMS card's +users manual for instructions. Note that drivers are usually card- +specific; you cannot, in general, use Vendor A's driver with Vendor +B's card. + + Not all "memory" expansion cards are EMS cards. There is +another type of memory called extended memory which is used by +other operating systems such as OS/2 and Unix. It is also used by +a few DOS utilities, most notably IBM's VDISK RAM disk emulator. +If your computer is advertised as having more than 640 KB of memory +installed, it's a good bet that it's extended memory and not EMS +memory. Few applications can use extended memory, although by using a +software technique which will be discussed in a moment, extended +memory can be made to serve as EMS memory. Before deciding on an +EMS strategy, determine the type of memory your computer already +has installed. Be forewarned: IBM, as usual, has a different name +for extended memory (like everything else). They call it (you +guessed it) expanded memory. So, if you bought it from IBM, and +it's called expanded memory, it's extended memory. Everyone else +pretty much sticks to standard nomenclature but to be sure, look +for the phrase "EMS x.x compliant" in the documentation, where x.x +is usually a number like 3.2 or 4.0. +---------- +1 The 'S' in EMS stands for "Specification". EMS is not a +particular way to build EMS memory, rather, it is the specification +of a software interface to it. Different vendors can, and do, +implement EMS differently. What is the same, however, is the way +that applications programs interface to this memory. +---------- + Many EMS cards allow the memory contained on them to be +configured as all EMS memory, all extended memory, or a mixture. +If you use VDISK or any other special programs that use extended +memory, you may wish to reserve part of the board's memory for use +as extended memory. Otherwise, there's really no good reason for +not configuring all of your memory as EMS. (Note that EMS boards +are generally more expensive than "plain" extended memory boards +because of the additional circuitry required). Consult your +board's users manual for the proper switch settings or software +settings to give the mix you desire. EMS cards can be used in any +machine, but are usually found in 8088s and 80286s because there +is a better and cheaper way to go in 80386s as will be discussed +below. + +EMS EMULATORS + + A less common approach to implementing EMS in your computer +is a EMS Emulator. This is a software-only approach that requires +no special hardware to use. It essentially turns extended memory +into expanded memory. Unfortunately, there is a price for this +magic - performance. Because extended memory lacks the special +hardware to switch its address like the blocks of memory on an EMS +card, this software must copy whole blocks of data (16 KB's worth) +back and forth between your program and extended memory every time +a new block is required -- even if it's just to read a single byte. +Depending on the nature of the program, this can be a few times +slower or hundreds of times slower than "true" EMS. +This is not a recommended solution for +that reason, however, if necessary, it can be used. This approach +can only be used on 80286 and 80386 machines which have extended +memory. Machines based on the 8088 (like the original PC and XT) +cannot accommodate extended memory. On the 80386, a much better +solution is described below. + +EXTENDED MEMORY MANAGERS + + Built into every 80386 is a special capability that can be +used to do an excellent job of providing EMS memory without the use +of EMS hardware. This facility is called the paging unit or Memory +Management Unit (MMU). The MMU consists of circuitry very much +like the switching circuitry onboard EMS cards, except much more +sophisticated. It was actually included for use by advanced +operating systems but can be used quite nicely to emulate EMS in +80386-based DOS machines. The MMU, like the EMS emulators, can +turn extended memory into expanded memory through software-only +means. Unlike those emulators, the MMU, in conjunction with a +piece of software known as an Extended Memory Manager (EMM), does +not suffer any performance penalty. In fact, it is usually faster +than true EMS cards because: the circuitry is onboard the CPU chip; +the 80386 is faster than lower-class machines that usually use EMS +cards; and the extended memory used is often fast, 32-bit system +memory rather than card-based memory which is slowed down by the +relatively slow I/O bus. On 80386 systems, this is definitely the +way to go. Excellent EMMs include "386-to-the-Max" by Qualitas, +Inc., and "QEMM-386" by Quarterdeck systems, Inc.. To use these +EMMs, you need to install them in your CONFIG.SYS file. Like the +EMS cards, you will have to configure them to partition your +available system memory between extended and expanded memory. +Consult the users manual for the package you are using. + +VIRTUAL MEMORY MANAGERS + + Virtual Memory Managers are another software-only approach to +EMS. These function almost identically to the EMS emulators +discussed above, except that they use the system disk rather than +extended memory as the storage medium for blocks of memory copied +out of your program. As you can imagine, this is excruciatingly +s-l-o-w. Use this approach only as a last resort. + diff --git a/textfiles.com/computers/abrash.lst b/textfiles.com/computers/abrash.lst new file mode 100644 index 00000000..82a20b0b --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/computers/abrash.lst @@ -0,0 +1,472 @@ +_ROLL YOUR OWN MINILANGUAGES WITH MINI-INTERPRETERS_ +by Michael Abrash and Dan Illowsky + + + +[LISTING ONE] + +; This program demonstrates the use of a mini-interpreter to produce +; code that is compact, flexible and easy to modify.

The following article will in- + troduce you to the basic ideas and concepts of looking for a + certain area of a program and making a patch to it. + ------------------------------------------------------------- + + + By: Charles Petzold / Specular Vision + Title: Case Study: A Colorful CLS + + This article originally appeared in the Oct. 14,1986 Issue + of PC Magazine (Vol 15. Num 17.). Written by Charles Petzold. + + The hardest part of patching existing programs is determin- + ing where the patch should go. You really have to make an + intelligent guess about the functioning of the program. + + As an example, let's attempt to modify COMMAND.COM so that + is colors the screen on a CLS command. As with any type of + patch try it out on a copy and NOT the original. + + First, think about what we should look for. CLS is differ- + ent from all the other DOS internal Commands, It is the only + internal command that does something to the screen other than + just write to it with simple teletype output. CLS blanks the + screen and homes the cursor. Since it can't do this through + DOS Calls (unless ANSI.SYS is loaded), it is probably calling + the BIOS Directly. The BIOS Interrupt 10h call controls the + video, and so the CLS command probably uses several INT 10h + instructions. The machine code for INT 10h is CD 10. + + (While this same method will work under any version of + PC-DOS, Version 2.0 and later, the addresses I'll be using + are from PC-DOS 3.1. Other versions of PC-DOS(or MS-DOS) will + have different addresses; you should be absolutely certain + that you're using the correct addresses.) + + Load COMMAND.COM into DEBUG: + + DEBUG COMMAND.COM + + and do an R (Registers) command. The size of COMMAND.COM is + in register CX. For DOS 3.1's COMMAND.COM, this value is + 5AAA. + + Now do Search command to look for the CD 10 bytes: + + S 100 L 5AAA CD 10 + + You'll get a list of six addresses, all clustered close to- + + 4 + gether. The first one is 261D. You can now pick an address a + little before that (to see what the first call is doing) and + start disassembling: + + U 261B + + The first INT 10 has AH set to 0F which is a Current Video + State call. The code checks if the returned value of AL + (Which is the video mode) is less than 3 or equal to 7. + These are the text modes. If so, it branches to 262C. If + not, it just resets the video mode with another INT 10 at ad- + dress 2629. + + At 262C, the code first sets the border black (the INT 10 + at 2630), then does another Current Video State call (at + 2634) to get the screen width in register AH. It uses infor- + mation from this call to set DX equal to the bottom right row + and column. It then clears the screen by scrolling the en- + tire screen up with another INT 10 (at 2645), and then sets + the cursor to the zeroth row and zeroth column with the final + INT 10 (at 264D). + + When it scrolls the whole screen, the zero value in AL ac- + tually means blank the screen, the value of BH is the at- + tribute to be used on the blanked area. In an unmodified + COMMAND.COM, BH is set to 7 (Which is white on black) by the + following statement at address 2640: + + MOV BX,0700 + + If you prefer a yellow-on-blue attribute (1E), you can + change this line by going into Assemble mode by entering: + + A + + then entering + + MOV BX,1E00 + + and exiting Assemble mode by entering a blank line. + + Now you can save the modified file: + + W + + and quit DEBUG: + + Q + + When you load the new version of COMMAND.COM (and you can + do so without rebooting by just entering: + + COMMAND + + + 5 + on the DOS command level), a CLS will turn the screen blue + and display characters as yellow. + + If it doesn't or if anything you type shows up as white on + black, that probably means you have ANSI.SYS loaded. If you + use ANSI.SYS, you don't have to make this patch but can in- + stead use the prompt command for coloring the screen. + + END. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 6 + ------------------------------------------------------------- + That was just one section of a very large article that helped + me to get started. Next we'll look at two other articles, + both written by Buckaroo Banzi. These two articles CRACK-1 + and CRACK-2 give you an introduction to the different copy + protection schemes used on IBM PC's, and how to find and by- + pass them. + ------------------------------------------------------------- + + + + By: Buckaroo Banzai + Title: Cracking On the IBM PC Part I + + + Introduction + ------------ + For years, I have seen cracking tutorials for the APPLE + computers, but never have I seen one for the PC. I have de- + cided to try to write this series to help that pirate move up + a level to a crackest. + + In this part, I will cover what happens with INT 13 and how + most copy protection schemes will use it. I strongly suggest + a knowledge of Assembler (M/L) and how to use DEBUG. These + will be an important figure in cracking anything. + + + INT-13 - An overview + -------------------- + + Many copy protection schemes use the disk interrupt + (INT-13). INT-13 is often use to either try to read in a il- + legally formatted track/sector or to write/format a + track/sector that has been damaged in some way. + + INT-13 is called like any normal interrupt with the assem- + bler command INT 13 (CD 13). [AH] is used to select which + command to be used, with most of the other registers used for + data. + + INT-13 Cracking College + ----------------------- + Although, INT-13 is used in almost all protection schemes, + the easiest to crack is the DOS file. Now the protected pro- + gram might use INT-13 to load some other data from a normal + track/sector on a disk, so it is important to determine which + tracks/sectors are important to the protection scheme. I + have found the best way to do this is to use LOCKSMITH/pc + (what, you don't have LS. Contact your local pirate for it.) + + Use LS to analyze the diskette. Write down any track/sector + that seems abnormal. These track are must likely are part of + the protection routine. Now, we must enter debug. Load in + + 7 + the file execute a search for CD 13. Record any address + show. + + If no address are picked up, this mean 1 or 2 things, the + program is not copy protected (right...) or that the check is + in an other part of the program not yet loaded. The latter + being a real hassle to find, so I'll cover it in part II. + There is another choice. The CD 13 might be hidden in self + changing code. Here is what a sector of hidden code might + look like + + -U CS:0000 + 1B00:0000 31DB XOR BX,BX + 1B00:0002 8EDB MOV DS,BX + 1B00:0004 BB0D00 MOV BX,000D + 1B00:0007 8A07 MOV AL,[BX] + 1B00:0009 3412 XOR AL,12 + 1B00:000B 8807 MOV [BX],AL + 1B00:000D DF13 FIST WORD... + + In this section of code, [AL] is set to DF at location + 1B00:0007. When you XOR DF and 12, you would get a CD(hex) + for the INT opcode which is placed right next to a 13 ie, + giving you CD13 or INT-13. This type of code can't and will + not be found using debug's [S]earch command. + + + + Finding Hidden INT-13s + ---------------------- + + The way I find best to find hidden INT-13s, is to use a + program called PC-WATCH (TRAP13 works well also). This pro- + gram traps the interrupts and will print where they were + called from. Once running this, you can just disassemble + around the address until you find code that look like it is + setting up the disk interrupt. + + An other way to decode the INT-13 is to use debug's [G]o + command. Just set a breakpoint at the address give by + PC-WATCH (both programs give the return address). Ie, -G + CS:000F (see code above). When debug stops, you will have + encoded not only the INT-13 but anything else leading up to + it. + + + What to do once you find INT-13 + ------------------------------- + + Once you find the INT-13, the hard part for the most part + is over. All that is left to do is to fool the computer in + to thinking the protection has been found. To find out what + the computer is looking for, examine the code right after the + INT-13. Look for any branches having to do with the + + 8 + CARRYFLAG or any CMP to the AH register. If a JNE or JC + (etc) occurs, then [U]nassembe the address listed with the + jump. If it is a CMP then just read on. + + Here you must decide if the program was looking for a pro- + tected track or just a normal track. If it has a CMP AH,0 + and it has read in a protected track, it can be assumed that + it was looking to see if the program had successfully com- + plete the READ/FORMAT of that track and that the disk had + been copied thus JMPing back to DOS (usually). If this is + the case, Just NOP the bytes for the CMP and the correspond- + ing JMP. + + If the program just checked for the carry flag to be set, + and it isn't, then the program usually assumes that the disk + has been copied. Examine the following code + + INT 13 <-- Read in the Sector + JC 1B00 <-- Protection found + INT 19 <-- Reboot + 1B00 (rest of program) + + The program carries out the INT and find an error (the il- + legally formatted sector) so the carry flag is set. The com- + puter, at the next instruction, see that the carry flag is + set and know that the protection has not been breached. In + this case, to fool the computer, just change the "JC 1B00" to + a "JMP 1B00" thus defeating the protection scheme. + + NOTE: the PROTECTION ROUTINE might be found in more than just + 1 part of the program + + + Handling EXE files + ------------------ + + As we all know, Debug can read .EXE files but cannot write + them. To get around this, load and go about cracking the + program as usual. When the protection scheme has been found + and tested, record (use the debug [D]ump command) to save + & + - 10 bytes of the code around the INT 13. Exit back to dos + and rename the file to a .ZAP (any extension but .EXE will + do) and reloading with debug. Search the program for the 20+ + bytes surrounding the code and record the address found. + Then just load this section and edit it like normal. Save + the file and exit back to dos. Rename it back to the .EXE + file and it should be cracked. + + ***NOTE: Sometimes you have to play around with it for a + while to make it work. + + + + + + 9 + DISK I/O (INT-13) + ----------------- + This interrupt uses the AH resister to select the function + to be used.

This is a + method that is used often. + ------------------------------------------------------------- + + + Cracking Tutorial II. + + By: Buckaroo Banzai + Title: Cracking On the IBM PC Part II + + + Introduction + ------------ + + OK guys, you now passed out of Copy Class 101 (dos files) + and have this great new game with overlays. How do I crack + this one. You scanned the entire .EXE file for the CD 13 and + it's nowhere. Where can it be you ask yourself. + + In part II, I'll cover cracking Overlays and the use of + locksmith in cracking. If you haven't read part I, then I + suggest you do so. The 2 files go together. + + + Looking for Overlays + -------------------- + So, you cant find CD 13 in the .EXE file, well, it can mean + 4 things. + + 1: The .EXE (though it is mostly .COM) file is just a + loader for the main file. + + 2: The .EXE file loads in an overlay. + + 3: The CD 13 is encrypted &/or hidden in the .EXE file. + + 4: Your looking at the WRONG file. + + + I won't discuss case 1 (or at least no here) because so + many UNP files are devoted to PROLOCK and SOFTGUARD, if you + can't figure it out with them, your stupid. + + If you have case 3, use the technique in part I and restart + from the beginning. And if you have case 4, shoot your self. + + You know the program uses overlays but don't see and on + disk? Try looking at the disk with good old Norton's. Any + hidden files are probably the overlays. These are the ones + we are after. If you still can't find them, use PC-WATCH + (this program is a must!!! For all crackists. Traps ALL in- + terrupts). + + 11 + + Using PC-Watch to Find Overlays + ------------------------------- + Start up PC-Watch and EXCLUDE everything in the left Col.. + Search the right Col. until you find DOS21 - OpnFile and + select it. + + Now run the program to be cracked. + Play the game until the protection is checked. + Examine you PCWatch output to see what file was loaded + right before it. + This probably is the one holding the check. + If not, go through all the files. + + + You Have Found the Overlays + --------------------------- + Great, now just crack the overlay as if it was a DOS file. + You don't need to worry about .EXE file, debug can write an + overlay file. Part I explains the basics of cracking. I + suggest that you keep a backup copy of the overlay so if you + mess up, and you will, you can recover quickly. Ah, and you + thought cracking with overlays was going to be hard. + + + + Locksmith and Cracking + ---------------------- + + The copy/disk utility program Locksmith by AlphaLogic is a + great tool in cracking. It's analyzing ability is great for + determining what and where the protection is. + + I find it useful, before I even start cracking, to analyze + the protected disk to find and id it's protection. This + helps in 2 ways. First, it helps you to know what to do in + order to fake out the protection. Second, it helps you to + find what the program is looking for. + + I suggest that you get locksmith if you don't already have + it. Check your local pirate board for the program. I also + suggest getting PC-Watch and Norton Utilities 3.1.(Now 4.1) + All of these program have many uses in the cracking world. + + END. + + + + + + + + + + + 12 + Chapter II Example Cracks + + + + ------------------------------------------------------------- + OK, now let's put some of this information into practice by + examining a few cracks of some common programs. First we'll + look at a Crack for Mean-18 Golf by Accolade. Accolade has + been one of those companies that has a fervent belief in Copy + Protection. + ------------------------------------------------------------- + + + + + Title: MEAN-18 UnProtect For CGA/EGA Version + + + This crack works by eliminating the code that tests for known + bad sectors on the original diskette to see if it is the + genuine article or an illegal copy. The code begins with an + INT 13 (CD 13 HEX), a DOS BIOS disk service routine followed + a few bytes later by another INT 13 instruction. The program + then checks the returned value for the bit configuration that + signifies the bad sectors and, if all is as expected, contin- + ues on with program execution. + + The code that needs to be patched is in the GOLF.EXE file and + in the ARCH.EXE file. It is identical in both files and lies + near the end of each file. + + In the following steps, you'll locate the start of the test + code and patch it by replacing it with NOP instructions (HEX + 90). The method described uses the DOS DEBUG utility but + Norton's Utility (NU) works too. + + Copy all of the files from the MEAN-18 disk onto a fresh + floppy using the DOS COPY command and place your original + diskette out of harm's way. + + Assuming DEBUG is in the A: drive and the floppy containing + the files to be unlocked is in the B: drive , proceed as fol- + lows: + + First REName the GOLF.EXE file so it has a different + EXTension other than .EXE. + + REN GOLF.EXE GOLF.DEB + + + Next load the file GOLF.DEB into DEBUG and displays the "-" + DEBUG prompt. + + A:> DEBUG B:GOLF.EXE + + 13 + Search for the beginning of the code to be patched by typing: + + + - S CS:100 FFFF CD 13 + + Searches the file for the two byte INT 13 instruction. If + all goes well, two addresses should appear on the screen. + + XXXX:019C + XXXX:01A8 + + XXXX indicates that the numbers preceeding the ":" vary from + system to system but the numbers following the ":" are the + same on all systems. + + The next step is to use the "U" command as indicated to + un-assemble a few bytes in order to verify your position in + the file) + + - U CS:019C + + (Un-assembles 32 bytes of code. Verify the following se- + quence of instructions: + + INT 13 + JB 01E9 + MOV AL,[BX+01FF] + PUSH AX + MOV AX,0201 + INT 13 + POP AX + JB 01E9 + CMP AL,F7 + JNZ 01B5 + + These are the instructions you'll be patching out in the fol- + lowing step) + + - A CS:019C + + This command assembles the new instructions you enter at the + keyboard into the addresses shown. Beginning at CS:019C, and + for the next 21 bytes, ending with and including CS:01B0, en- + ter the no op command "NOP" (90h) followed by a or + . Just hit at address XXXX:01B1 to end the + assemble command.) + + XXXX:019C NOP + XXXX:019D NOP + . + . + . + XXXX:01AE NOP + XXXX:01AF NOP + + 14 + XXXX:01B0 NOP + XXXX:01B1 + + This just wipes out the section of code containing the INT 13 + check. + + Now do a HEX dump and verify that bytes 019C through 01B0 + have been set to 90 HEX. + + - D CS:019C + + If they have, write the patched file to the disk as follows) + + - W + + This writes the patched file back to the + disk where it can be run by typing GOLF just as before but + now, it can be run from any drive, including the hard + drive) + + Now just [Q]uit or exit back to DOS. This command can be ex- + ecuted at any "-" DEBUG prompt if you get lost. No modifica- + tion will be made to the file on the disk until you issue the + "W" command. + + - Q + + The process is the same for the ARCH.EXE file but because it + is a different length, the segment address, (XXXX part of the + address), will be different. You should find the first INT + 13 instruction at address XXXX:019C and the second one at + XXXX:01A8 as before. + + You will again be patching 21 bytes and you will start with + 019C and end with 01B0 as before. After doing the HEX dump + starting at address 019C, you again write the file back to + the disk with a "W" command then "Q" uit. + + Norton's utilities can also be used to make this patch. Be- + gin by searcing the GOLF.EXE or ARCH.EXE files for the two + byte combination CD 13 (remember to enter these as HEX + bytes). Once located, change the 21 bytes, starting with the + first "CD" byte, to 90 (a NOP instruction). As a check that + you are in the right place, the byte sequence in both files + is CD 13 72 49 8A 87 FF 01 50 B8 01 02 CD 13 58 72 3C 3C F7 + 75 04. After modifying the bytes, write the modified file + back to the disk. It can then be run from any drive. + + END. + + + + + + + 15 + ------------------------------------------------------------ + That was the first the tutorial cracks, here's another crack + based on the same ideas but using Norton's Utilities instead. + The following is an unprotect method for Eypx Submarine. + Eypx is another one of those companies bent on protecting the + world. + ------------------------------------------------------------ + + + By: Assembler Magic + Title: EPYX Submarine Unprotect + + + You will only need to make one modification to the main + executable program of Submarine, SUB.EXE. I will assume that + your computer has a hard disk and that you have a path to + DOS. It's time to fire up DEBUG as follows: + + DEBUG SUB.EXE + + The computer should respond with a "-" prompt. Now look at + the registers, just to make sure everything came up okay. + Type the letter "R" immediately after the prompt. The com- + puter should respond with a few lines of info as follows: + + AX=0000 BX=0001 CX=6103 DX=0000 SP=0080 BP=0000 SI=0000 + DI=0000 DS=12CE ES=12CE SS=37B2 CS=27FC IP=0010 NV UP EI PL + NZ NA PO NC + 27FC:0010 8CC0 MOV AX,ES + - + + Note the value of CS is "27FC". That is the hexadecimal + segment address for the beginning of the program code in your + computer's memory. It is highly probable that the value you + see for CS will differ from mine. Whatever it is, write it + down. Also, the values you see for DS, ES and SS will almost + certainly differ from mine and should not cause you concern. + The other registers should show the same values mine do, and + the flags should start with the same values. + + Next, we will do a search for Interrupt 13's. These are + BIOS (not DOS) Interrupts built into the program which are + used to ensure that the original disk is being used to run + the program. The whole key to this unprotect scheme is to by- + pass these Interrupts in the program code. The tricky part + of this unprotect is to find them! They are not in the seg- + ment of program code starting at the value of CS equal to + "27FC". They are closer to the beginning of the program in + memory. Easy enough! Reset the value of CS to equal the + value of DS as follows; type immediately after Debug's "-" + prompt: + + RCS + + + 16 + Debug will prompt you for the new value of CS with: + + CS:27FC: + + You respond by typing the value of DS you saw when you + dumped the registers the first time. For example, I typed + "12CE". The value you type will be different. Debug + will again respond with the "-" prompt which means we are + ready to do our search. Type in the following after the "-" + prompt: + + S CS:0 FFFF CD 13 + + The computer should respond with three lines of information + which are the addresses of the three Interrupt 13 calls built + into the program. The first four digits are the segment ad- + dress and will equal to the value of CS you have just set. + The second four digits following the colon are the offset ad- + dresses which are of primary interest to us. On my machine + they came back as follows: + + 12CE:4307 + 12CE:431F + 12CE:4335 + + The segment addresses will be identical and the three off- + set addresses should all be relatively close together. Now + look at the first offset address. (As you can see, mine was + "4307".) Write it down. Now we do a bit of Unassembly. + + Type "U4307" which is the letter "U", followed immedi- + ately (with no blank spaces) by whatever your first offset + address turned out to be, followed by a carriage return. If + you are not familiar with unassembled machine code, it will + look like lines of gibberish as follows: + + 12CE:4307 CD13 INT 13 + 12CE:4309 4F DEC DI + 12CE:430A 744C JZ 4358 + . + . + 12CE:431F CD13 INT 13 + 12CE:4321 4F DEC DI + . + . + 12CE:4324 BF0400 MOV DI,0004 + 12CE:4326 B80102 MOV AX,0201 + + In my computer, Unassemble will automatically output 16 + lines of code to the screen. Yours may differ. Note, in the + abbreviated list I have shown above, the addresses at the be- + ginning of the two lines which contain the Interrupt 13's + (INT 13) correspond to the first two addresses we found in + our search. Now we continue the unassemble, and here comes + + 17 + another tricky part. Just type in "U" after the "-" + prompt. + + You'll get sixteen more lines of code with the third Inter- + rupt 13 on a line which begins with the address (CS):4335 if + you have the same version of Submarine as I do. It's not + terribly important to this exercise, but it will at + least show you that things are proceeding okay. Now type in + "U" again after the prompt. You are now looking for + three key lines of code. On my program they appear as fol- + lows: + + 12CE:4335 07 POP ES + 12CE:4356 5D POP BP + 12CE:4357 CB RETF + + The true key is the instruction "POP ES". This instruction + begins the normal return sequence after the program has ex- + ecuted its Interrupt 13 instructions and accompanying checks. + If Debug on your machine prints fewer than 16 lines of code + at a shot, you may have to type in "U" more than twice at the + "-" to find these instructions. (If you haven't found any of + this stuff, either get help on the use of Debug or go back to + using your diskette version!) Write down the offset address + of the "POP ES" instruction; the four digits following the + colon, which in my example is "4354". You're well on your + way now, so please persevere. + + The next step is to modify the program to JUMP around the + code which executes the Interrupt 13's and go immediately to + the instruction which begins the normal return sequence + (again, it's the "POP ES". Type in the following instruc- + tions carefully: + + A4307 + + This first bit tells Debug that new Assembler code will be + inserted at the address of the first Interrupt 13. If your + first Interrupt 13 is at an address other that "4307", use + the correct address, not mine. The computer will prompt you + with the address: + + 12CE:4307 + + After which you will immediately type: + + JMP 4354 + + This instruction jumps the program immediately to the normal + return code instructions. Again, at the risk of being redun- + dant, if your "POP ES" instruction is at a different address, + use that address, not "4354"! + + The computer will prompt you with the address of the next in- + + 18 + struction if all went well. MAKE SURE you just hit the + carriage return at this point. Debug will then return the + familiar "-" prompt. + + Now it's time to examine your handiwork. Let's do the + unassemble again starting at the address of what had been the + first Interrupt 13 instruction, but which is now the Jump in- + struction. Type in "U4307" or "U" followed by the appro- + priate address and a carriage return. The first line begin- + ning with the address should appear as follows: + + 12CE:4307 EB4B JMP 4354 + + The key here is the four bytes immediately following the ad- + dress. In my example they are "EB4B". Yours may not be. + But, they are VERY IMPORTANT because they represent the ac- + tual machine code which is the Jump instruction. WRITE THESE + FOUR BYTES DOWN AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE CORRECT. + + Now if you want to have some fun before we go on, reset + register CS to its original value by first typing "RCS" + at the "-" prompt. Then type in the original value of CS + that I asked you to write down. Using my example, I typed + "27FC". Next, you will type "G" after the "-" prompt + which means GO! If all went well, SUB should run at this + point. At least it will if you put all of the Submarine + files onto the diskette or into the hard disk subdirectory + where youre working. If it didn't run, you may have made an + error. Check through what you have done. + + Don't give up at this point if it does not run. Your version + of Debug may simply have not tolerated our shenanigans. When + you are done playing, quit Submarine ("Alt-Q") and type a + "Q" after the Debug prompt "-" appears. + + Now comes the tough part. I can't walk you through this + phase in complete detail, because you may be using one of + several programs available to modify the contents of SUB.EXE. + Debug is not the way to go, because it can't write out .EXE + files, only .COM files. + + ------------------------------------------------------------- + Note: Another method of doing this is to REName the SUB.EXE + file so it has a different extension other than .EXE before + you enter DEBUG. That way after you've made the change you + can then [W]rite then changes out to the file right in DEBUG. + Then one drawback is that you can't run the program in DEBUG + once you've changed the name. + ------------------------------------------------------------- + + You have to get into your sector modification package (NORTON + works good) and work on the SUB.EXE file on your new diskette + or your hard disk. Remember, I warned you that doing this on + your hard disk is dangerous if you are not fully aware of + + 19 + what you are doing. So, IF YOU MESS UP, it's YOUR OWN FAULT! + + You are looking for the first occurrence of an Interrupt 13 + (the "CD 13") using the search facility in your program. If + you don't have the ability to search for the two-byte hexa- + decimal code "CD 13" directly, then you will have to manually + search. + + ------------------------------------------------------------- + Note: Norton 4.x now has a search utility. When you get to + the point of typing in the search text, just press the TAB + key, and you can type in the actual hexadecimal code "CD 13". + ------------------------------------------------------------- + + Start at the beginning of SUB.EXE and proceed. Again, you + want to find the first of the three (first from the beginning + of the program). + + I will give you a hint. I found it in NORTON at location + 4407 hexadecimal which is location 17,415 decimal in the + SUB.EXE program file. DOS standard sectors are 512 decimal + bytes. Replace the two bytes "CD 13" with the "EB 4B" or + whatever your Jump instruction turned out to be. Write or + save the modified file. + + That's ALL there is to modifying SUB.EXE. You can go ahead + and execute your program. If you have followed my instruc- + tions, it should run fine. Get help if it doesn't. Now, you + should be all set. You can load onto your hard disk, if you + haven't already. You can run it from a RAM disk using a BAT + file if you really want it to hum. Or, if you have the fa- + cilities, you can copy it from 5-1/4" floppy to 3-1/2" dis- + kette and run it on machines which accept that medium if you + upgrade to a new computer. + + END. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 20 + ------------------------------------------------------------- + Now let's take a look at a newer crack on the program, Space + Station Oblivion by Eypx. At a first [S]earch with Debug and + Norton's Utility no CD 13's could be found, and yet it was + using them... So a different approach had to be taken... + ------------------------------------------------------------- + + + By: PTL + Title: Space Station Oblivion Crack + + + First of all, you must determine which file the INT 13's are + in, in this case it had to be the file OBLIVION.EXE since it + was the main program and probably contained the INT 13's. So + then rename it to a different EXTension and load it into De- + bug. + + Then do a [S]earch for INT 13's. + + -S 100 FFFF CD 13 + + Which will promptly turned up nothing. Hmmm... + + Next you might decide that, maybe, the code was modifying it- + self. So quit from Debug and load up PC-Watch, include all + the INT 13 Calls. For those of you not familiar with + PC-Watch, it is a memory resident program that can be set to + look for any type of BIOS call. When that call is made + PC-Watch prints to the screen the contents of all the regis- + ters and the current memory location that the call was made + from. + + After PC-Watch is initialized, then run the OBLIVION.EXE file + from the hard disk, leaving the floppy drive door open, and + sure enough, when the red light comes on in the diskette + drive, PC-Watch will report the address's of some INT 13 + calls. Which you should then write down. + + From there, quit the game, reboot, (To dump PC-Watch from + memory) and load the OBLIVION.EXE into Debug and issue a [G]o + command with a breakpoint. What address should you use for a + breakpoint? You guessed it, the same address PC-Watch gives + you. + + Well, it locked up did'nt it? Which is quite common in this + line of work so don't let that discourage you. So next re- + loaded it into debug and this time [U]nassemble the address + that you got from PC-Watch. But instead of finding the INT + 13's you'll find harmless INT 21's. + + Hmm... could it be that the program was converting the CD + 21's to CD 13's during the run? Well, to test the idea as- + semble an INT 20 (Program Terminate) right after the first + + 21 + INT 21. Then I run the program, and yes immediately after the + red light comes on the drive, the program will terminate nor- + mally. + + Then [U]nassemble that same area of memory, and low and be- + hold, some of the INT 21's have magically turned into INT + 13's. How clever... + + So, then it is just a matter of locating the address of the + routine that it jumped (JMP) to if the correct disk was found + in drive A:. Once you have that address, just go to the + start of all this nonsense and [A]ssemble a JMP XXXX command. + Where XXXX was the address to jump to if the original disk + was in drive A:. + + Then just [W]rite the file back out to the disk and [Q]uit + debug, and then REName the file back to OBLIVION.EXE + afterwhich it should work fine. + + + END. + + 22 + Chapter III Removing Doc Check Questions + + + ------------------------------------------------------------- + A new fad has recently started up with software vendors, it + involves the use of "Passwords" which are either stored in + the documentation or are actually the documentation itself. + Then when you reach a certain part of the program (Usually + the beginning) the program will ask for the password and you + have to look it up in the Docs before being allowed to con- + tinue. If the wrong password is entered, it will usually + drop you to DOS or take you to a Demo version of the program. + + This new form of copy protection is very annoying, but can + usually be cracked without too much effort, and the files + and the disk are usually in the standard DOS format. So now + we'll take a look at cracking the Doc check questions. + + First of all we'll crack the startup questions in F-15 + Strike Eagle by MicroProse. + ------------------------------------------------------------- + + + By: JP ASP + Title: F-15 Unprotect + + + + Make a copy of the original disk using the DOS DISKCOPY pro- + gram. + + >DISKCOPY A: B: + + Then insert the copy disk in the A drive and invoke DOS DE- + BUG. + + >DEBUG + + Now we'll [F]ill an area of memory with nothing (00). + + -F CS:100 L FEFF 0 + + Next we will [L]oad into address CS:0100 the data that is on + the A: disk (0) from sector 0 to sector 80. + + -l cs:100 0 0 80 + + Now lets [S]earch the data we loaded for the area where the + copy protection routine is. + + -s cs:100 l feff FA EB FD + + Then for each of the occurences listed, use the address DEBUG + returned in the [E]nter command below. + + 23 + + -e xxxx 90 90 90 + + ------------------------------------------------------------- + Here's the part we are interested in, it's where you change + all the autorization codes to a space. Notice how you can + use the [S]earch command to look for ASCII text. + ------------------------------------------------------------- + + -s cs:100 l feff "CHIP" + + Then for each occurance of "CHIP" use the address DEBUG re- + turned in the [F]ill command below. + + -F XXXX L F 20 + + Write out the modified data + + -W CS:100 1 0 80 + + Quit DEBUG + + -Q + + + You should now be able to DISKCOPY and boot from all copies + also just press the space bar when it ask for ANY authority + code and then press "ENTER". Now there is no need to remember + (or look up) any codes that are so finely tucked away in the + manual! + + END. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 24 + ------------------------------------------------------------- + Here is a similar method that was used break the passwords in + the program BATTLEHAWKS 1945 by Lucasfilms. However Norton + Utilities is used to search for the passwords and change + them. + ------------------------------------------------------------- + + By: PTL + Title: BATTLEHAWKS-1945 Doc Check Crack + + + In keeping in line with their previous programs, Lucasfilms + has released yet another program which uses Doc Checks for + its means of copy protection, Battlehawks 1942. + + When you run this program, it first goes through a series of + graphic displays, then it goes through a series of questions, + asking what type of mission you want to fly, such as Train- + ing, Active Duty, or which side of the war you want to be on. + + Then right before the simulation begins, it shows you a pic- + ture of a Japanese Zero and ask you for a password which you + + are then supposed to get by looking up the picture of the + Zero in the User Manual and typing the corresponding password + in. After which it enters the simulation, in the event you + enter the wrong password, it puts you into a training mis- + sion. + + Removing the Doc Check in a program like this is usually + pretty easy. The ideal way to do it is to remove the Doc + Check routine itself, but if you don't have all day to debug + and trace around the code this might not be the best way. + For instance if you only have your lunch hour to work on it + (Like I did), then you need to use the standard Q.D.C.R.S. + (Quick Doc Check Removal System). + + How do you do a QDCRS? Well first of all, play around with + the program, find out what it will and will NOT accept as a + password. Most programs will accept anything, but a few + (Like Battlehawks) will only accept Alpha characters. + + Once you've learned what it likes, make an educated guess as + to what program the Doc Check routine is in. Then load that + program into Norton's Utility (NU). + + At this point, take a look at the passwords, and write down + the most unusual one that you can find (I'll explain later). + Now type that password in as the search string, and let NU + search through the file until it finds the password. Now a + couple of things can happen. + + 1. It only finds one occurrence + 2. It finds more than one occurrence + 3. It doesn't find any occurrence + + In the event of case 2 then YOU have to determine where the + passwords are stored, you can do this by opening your eyes + and looking. + + In the event of case 3, go to the kitchen and start a pot of + coffee, then tell you wife to go to bed without you, because + you have a "Special Project" that you have to finish tonight. + And by the way, Good Luck. You'll need it. + + Hopefully case 1 will occur, now you have to take a look at + the data and ask yourself 2 questions: + + 1. Are all the passwords the same length? + 2. Is there a set number of spaces between each pass- + word? + 3. Does the next password always start a certain number + of characters from the first character of the previ- + ous password? + + If you can answer yes to any of the above questions, you in + luck. All you have to do is change the passwords to spaces + + (If the program allows that, Battlehawks doesn't) or change + them to you favorite character. The letter X works good, it's + easy to type and easy to remember. + + If you can't answer yes to any of the questions then you ei- + ther need to bypass the Doc Check routine itself or you need + to be adventurous and experiment. Battlehawks will not follow + any of the above patterns, and your quickly running out of + time, so you'll have to try something, fast... + + So just wiped out all of the data area with X's, all the + passwords and associated "garbage" between them. Then saved + the changes and drop out of NU and into BH. Then when it ask + for the password, just filed the area with X's. Next thing + you know, you'll be escorting a bombing run on a Japanese + carrier. + + So, this one turned out to be fairly simple. Where you may + run into trouble is on Doc Checks that use a graphic system, + such as Gunship by MicroProse. When it comes to this type of + Doc Check, you almost have to bypass the routine itself. And + again, a good way to do this is with setting break points and + using the trace option in Debug. + + END. + + + + + + + + 25 + + ------------------------------------------------------------- + That was the easy version Doc Check crack, however there a + "Better" way to crack Doc Checks, is to bypass the routine + completely so the user can just press enter and not worry + about spaces. Let's take a lot at this method by looking at + a crack for the program, Yeager's Advanced Flight Trainer, by + Electronic Arts. + ------------------------------------------------------------- + + + By: PTL + Title: Yeager's Advanced Flight Trainer + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 26 + Chapter 5 Cracking Self Booters + + + + ------------------------------------------------------------- + Now we'll take a look at cracking self booters. A few compa- + nies have found this to be the best copy protection scheme + for them, one of which is DataEast, makers of Ikari Warriors, + Victory Road, Lock-On, Karnov, etc... This posses a special + problem to the Amateur Cracker, since they seldom use stan- + dard DOS formats. So let's jump right in! + ------------------------------------------------------------- + + + This is the area where a "Higher than Normal" knowledge of + Assembly Language and DOS Diskette structures, so first of + all, the Basic's. + + + The Disk's Physical Structure + + Data is recorded on a disk in a series of concentric circles, + called Tracks. Each track if further divided into segments, + called Sectors. The standard double-density drives can + record 40 tracks of data, while the new quad-density drives + can record 80 tracks. + + However, the location, size, and number of the sectors within + a track are under software control. This is why the PC's + diskettes are known as soft-sectored. The characteristics of + a diskette's sectors (Their size, and the number per track) + are set when each track is formatted. Disk Formatting can be + done either by the operating system or by the ROM-BIOS format + service. A lot of self booters and almost all forms of copy + protection create unusual formats via the ROM-BIOS diskette + services. + + The 5 1/4-inch diskettes supported by the standard PC BIOS + may have sectors that are 128,256,512, or 1,024 bytes in + size. DOS, from versions 1.00 through 4.01 has consistently + used sectors of 512 bytes, and it is quite possible that this + will continue. + + Here is a table displaying 6 of the most common disk formats: + _____________________________________________________________ + + Type Sides Sectors Tracks Size(bytes) + _____________________________________________________________ + + S-8 1 8 40 160K + D-8 2 8 40 320K + S-9 1 9 40 180K + D-9 2 9 40 360K + QD-9 2 9 80 720K + QD-15 2 15 80 1,200K + _____________________________________________________________ + + + + S - Single Density + D - Double Density + QD - Quad Density + + Of all these basic formats, only two are in widespread use: + S-8 and D-9. The newer Quad Density formats are for the 3 + 1/2" and 5 1/4" high density diskettes. + + + The Disk's Logical Structure + + So, as we have already mentioned, the 5 1/4-inch diskette + formats have 40 tracks, numbered from 0 (the outside track) + through 39 (the inside track, closest to the center). On a + double sided diskette, the two sides are numbered 0 and 1 + (the two recording heads of a double-sided disk drive are + also numbered 0 and 1). + + The BIOS locates the sectors on a disk by a three-dimensional + coordinate composed of a track number (also referred to as + the cylinder number), a side number (also called the head + number), and a sector number. DOS, on the other hand, lo- + cates information by sector number, and numbers the sectors + sequentially from the outside to inside. + + We can refer to particular sectors either by their + three-dimensional coordinates or by their sequential order. + All ROM-BIOS operations use the three-dimensional coordinates + to locate a sector. All DOS operations and tools such as DE- + BUG use the DOS sequential notation. + + The BASIC formula that converts the three-dimensional coordi- + nates used by the ROM-BIOS to the sequential sector numbers + used by DOS is as follows: + + DOS.SECTOR.NUMBER = (BIOS.SECTOR - 1) + DIOS.SIDE + * SECTORS.PER.SIDE + BIOS.TRACK * SECTORS.PER.SIDE + * SIDES.PER.DISK + + And here are the formulas for converting sequential sector + numbers to three-dimensional coordinates: + + BIOS.SECTOR = 1 + DOS.SECTOR.NUMBER MOD SECTORS.PER.SIDE + BIOS.SIDE = (DOS.SECTOR.NUMBER \ SECTORS.PER.SIDE) + MOD SIDE.PER.DISK + BIOS.TRACK = DOS.SECTOR.NUMBER \ (SECTORS.PER.SIDE + * SIDES.PER.DISK) + + (Note: For double-sided nine-sector diskettes, the PC's + most common disk format, the value of SECTORS.PER.SIDE + is 9 and the value of SIDES.PER.DISK is 2. Also note + that sides and tracks are numbered differently in the + ROM-BIOS numbering system: The sides and tracks are num- + bered from 0, but the sectors are numbered from 1.) + + Diskette Space Allocation + + The formatting process divides the sectors on a disk into + four sections, for four different uses. The sections, in the + order they are stored, are the boot record, the file alloca- + tion table (FAT), the directory, and the data space. The + size of each section varies between formats, but the struc- + ture and the order of the sections don't vary. + + The Boot Record: + + This section is always a single sector located at sector + 1 of track 0, side 0. The boot record contains, among other + things, a short program to start the process of loading the + operating system on it. All diskettes have the boot record + on them even if they don't have the operating system. Asisde + from the start-up program, the exact contents of the boot + record vary from format to format. + + The File Allocation Table: + + The FAT follows the boot record, usually starting at + sector 2 of track 0, side 0. The FAT contains the official + record of the disk's format and maps out the location of the + sectors used by the disk files. DOS uses the FAT to keep a + record of the data-space usage. Each entry in the table con- + tains a specific code to indicate what space is being used, + what space is available, and what space is unusable (Due to + defects on the disk). + + The File Directory: + + The file directory is the next item on the disk. It is + used as a table of contents, identifying each file on the + disk with a directory entry that contains several pieces of + information, including the file's name and size. One part of + the entry is a number that points to the first group of sec- + tors used by the file (this number is also the first entry + for this file in the FAT). + + The Data Space: + + Occupies the bulk of the diskette (from the directory + through the last sector), is used to store data, while the + other three sections are used to support the data space. + Sectors in the data space are allocated to files on an + as-needed basis, in units known as clusters. The clusters + are one sector long and on double-sided diskettes, they are a + pair of adjacent sectors. + + + + (From here on I'll continue to describe the basics of DOS + disk structures, and assembly language addressing technics. + + + ------------------------------------------------------------- + Here is a simple routine to just make a backup copy of the + Flight Simulator Version 1.0 by Microsoft.

This way, you don't even have to open the decoder +and the PC can now act as a smart card. + +WARNING: In order to build the adapter described below, you will at + least require some basic hobby electronics experience. If + you don't understand, how the described circuitry works, + better don't use it! Although the described procedure is + relatively secure, serious errors might in the worst case + damage both your PC and your TV system. + +The chip cards used by the Videocrypt pay-TV system follow exactly the +specification ISO 7816 (you might find this international standard in a +good library, if you are interested in more details).

The +following description may also be used in order to connect computers to +other ISO 7816 compatible chip card systems (e.g. GSM mobile phones or +other pay-TV decoding systems) if they also use asynchronous +transmission.

This chip contains two TTL->RS-232 and two +RS-232->TTL drivers and needs four external 1 uF capacitors in order +to generate the RS-232 voltage internally. The adapter electronic gets +its power supply from the decoder's VCC line or you can use an external +5 V supply if you wish. + +The card slot's RST line is connected using one of the TTL->RS-232 +drivers in the MAX232 to DCD, so that the software and the decoder can +easily resynchronize in case of a protocol error. + +The I/O line is a bidirectional half-duplex asynchronous TTL level +serial port that is operated in a Videocrypt system with 9600 bits/s. +We can connect this line to a MAX232 TTL input driver (which is +connected to RxD and sends bytes to the PC) in order to receive data +from the decoder. The TxD signal is converted in the MAX232 to TTL +level and is connected with an open collector TTL driver to I/O. This +open collector driver (one of six in the 74LS07) has a high impedance +output during idle state and 1 and is connected to GND during a 0 on +it's input. As there is already a pull-up resistor to +5 V on I/O in +the decoder, this circuitry guarantees, that the adapter is in high +impedance state if the TxD line is idle and delivers the correct +voltage if the PC sends bytes and the decoder is in reception mode. As +we don't connect totem-pole or tristate outputs to I/O, a short circuit +should be impossible in the adapter. + +The following diagram describes the whole interface: + + + +-------------+ + + +-----------|1 V 16|---+---o +5V (VCC) + +| +| | === + === +5V o-||-|2 MAX232 15|---+---o GND (card & RS-232) + | | | + +-----------|3 +---14|----o DCD +-<-o DTR + + | | | | + +---||---|4 | +-13|----o RTS +->-o DSR + | | | v | | + +--------|5 | +-12|- (unused TTL output) +->-o CTS + + | | | + GND o-||-|6 +-<-11|----o RST + | | + RxD o----|7 ---<--- 10|-------------------+----o I/O + | | |\ | + TxD o----|8 --->--- 9|--------------| |--+ + +-------------+ 1|/ 2 + 74LS07 + At the MAX232, pin 2 delivers + +10 V and pin 6 delivers -10 V. (also connected to 74LS07: + pin 7=GND, pin 14=VCC) + + +Pay attention to the polarity of the capacitors (marked with a + in the +diagram next to each capacitor)! The -->-- symbols in the AX232 +diagram above indicate the voltage converters inside the chip. You +might want to add an LED and a resistor (between 220 and 1k ohm) +between VCC and GND so that you can see when the decoder activates the +interface. If you can't live without blinking bits, then add a LED and +a resistor from VCC to I/O. The capacitor between VCC and GND is not +absolutely necessary, but recommended especially if you add other +circuitry on the board (e.g. the quartz oscillator described below). + +As a side effect of this simple interface design, every byte sent by +the PC is at the same time also received by the PC. Consequently, you +can test the circuit with a terminal emulator and external +5 V supply +by switching of local echo: if you still see every typed character +immediately on the screen, the interface should be all right. Software +must be capable of dealing with this echo from the interface. As +specified in the ISO standard, the decoder activates VCC only shortly +before a reset and deactivates VCC again if an answer-to-reset packet +isn't received from the card in time after the reset signal. + +A few additional hints: + +If you have a larger distance between the PC an the decoder, then +locate the adapter electronic near the decoder, because the RS-232 +interface is much more suitable for long cables than the TTL signals. +Cables of 12 m length have sucessfully been used and you shouldn't have +problems with RS-232 cables up to 25 m length and more. + +You can also use this adapter circuit to allow a PC to listen to the +data traffic between a decoder and a real card. Just connect the real +card and the adapter parallel to the decoder and don't let the PC +software transmit anything. Suitable card slots are available for +little money from various manufacturers (see below for addresses). +Videocrypt uses the inverse convention data format, i.e., you have to +reverse and invert the bits in each byte in the PC software in order to +get the correct byte value. For more details about the protocol, check +ISO 7816-3. + +There are many alternative ways to build this interface if you don't +have some of the components available. E.g. the MAX232 could be +replaced by the fully compatible LT1081 from Linear Technology. The +circuit still works fine if you use higher capacitors than 1 uF (e.g. +my prototype worked fine with 4 22 uF types which were left from a +previous project), but use equally sized capacitors. If you use the pin +compatible MAX220 (a low power version) instead of the MAX232, then use +capacitors with 10 uF or higher. The MAX232 should be the easiest +available one of these chips. If it is more convenient for your layout, +then you can use instead of the 1->2 driver in the 74LS07 one of the +remaining 5 drivers at the pins 3->4, 5->6, 9->8, 11->10 and 13->12. If +your local electronic store doesn't have a 74LS07 or 7407, then use +e.g. two of the six open collector inverters in a 74LS05 (same pin +assignment as the 74LS07) in series and a 2.2k pull-up resistor to VCC +between them. Peoples have also suggested quick-and-dirty designs where +the 74LS07 open-collector driver is replaced by a 100 ohm resistor and +the MAX232 by a CMOS inverter. + +If you don't have the experience to etch your own PCB (it's not very +difficult) or don't know someone who does, then you could solder the +components in a universal raster PCB or plug them into an experimental +board. Then produce just a simple PCB with only the ISO card contacts +and connections to outside the decoder by mechanically removing the +thin copper layer with a good knive between the 4 contacts and lines. + +Peoples have also suggested to use an empty German phone card, which +also has ISO contacts. Remove the integrated chip from the other +non-contact side, test whether the contacts are now isolated from each +other and use a special conductive ink you'll find in an electronics +store in order to draw connections to the end of the card were you +connect wires. I haven't tested this and don't know how well it works, +but you might also consider it. If you ask dealers who sell Videocrypt +clone cards, you might also get a suitable PCB with card contacts for +little money. + +You can use the same circuit with a few modifications in order to +connect a PC to a smart card. This allows you to use the PC in order to +emulate a decoder from the card's point of view. + +Just connect the card's RST input to pin 12 of the MAX232 so that you +can control the RST line with the RS-232 RTS signal. Add a 20k pull- +upresistor from the card's I/O line to VCC. In addition, you'll have to +generate a 3.57 MHz CLK signal for the card. If you use other +frequencies, remember that the time for one protocol bit is 372 CLK +periods and you'll have to adjust the bits/sec rate. Either you'll find +a complete 3.5 or 3.579545 MHz quartz oscillator which delivers a TTL +signal or you build one like the following circuit using a 3.579545 MHz +quartz (easily available, because each NTSC TV set contains one) and 2 +of the 6 CMOS inverters in a 74HC04. I've also tried a 74HCT04 and a +4069, but they both are less suitable. And of course you'll need an +external regulated +5 V power supply (a decoder will give you only VCC +and CLK while it is talking to a card). In order to protect both the +card and the adapter, it might be a good idea to put a 10 ohm resistor +in all lines to the card (and perhaps even protection diodes to VCC and +GND). If you don't already have a VCC/GND capacitor near the 74HC04, +then add 0.1 uF between VCC and GND. + + + 1M 2.2k 3|\4 10 + +-/\/\/--+----/\/\/-----+--| o-----+-----/\/\/---o CLK + | |2 | |/ | + | -o- | |100 pF + | /_____\ | === + | |1 | | + | | 3.579545 MHz | | + | | +--+ | - (also connect to 74HC04: + +--------+---| | | |---+ GND pin 5,7,9,11,13=GND, + | +--+ | pin 14=VCC=+5 V) + |27pF |27pF + === === + | | + - - + GND GND + +You can easily build a universal device that can be operated in two +modes by changing the position of two jumpers: + + a) In the first mode, you have a PC<->decoder adapter.

The + device is not connected with the decoder and you have to attach a + +5 V power supply. The jumpers are switched, so that your card slot + has its CLK pin connected to the output of the above quartz oscillator + and the RST pin to pin 12 of the MAX232. As in this mode the PCB + isn't plugged into the decoder, it is convenient to have tiny + feets attached to the PCB so that you can put it on a table. + +Now you've built a cheap and flexible debugging tool for all ISO 7816 +compatible smart card systems that use an asynchronous protocol. Other +ideas are to add a chip socket for a microcontroller (e.g. a PIC16C84 +from Microchip or a 8032+EPROM from Intel) parallel to the additional +card slot and to add pins where you can easily connect an oscilloscope. +This allows you to debug card software for microcontrollers easily. +Feel free to produce and sell such a device, but if you do it +commercially, please be nice and don't forget to send me a free one, +too. :-) + +ISO 7816 chip card connectors are e.g. available from: + + Amphenol-Tuchel Electronics GmbH + August-Haeusser-Str. 10 + D-74080 Heilbronn + Germany + + phone +49 7131 486-0 + fax +49 7131 486-323 + +A few final remarks about the security of the adapter: + +Normally, both the RS-232 interface and the decoder slot should not be +harmed by short circuits, but be careful. Also try to avoid +electrostatic voltage (e.g. generated by walking on a suitable carpet) +near the interface, because discharges cause easily decoder or PC +crashes and could theoretically even harm the hardware (especially CMOS +chips like the 74HC04). Before connecting the decoder and the PC the +first time, you might want to check the voltage between the two GND +lines. In correct installations, the difference of the GND potentials +is very low (below 1 V), but someone has reported up to 50 V (high +impedance only). Most TV sets, VCRs, SAT receivers and decoders are not +connected with the earth line, so their GND potential is floating or +sometimes only defined by e.g. the shielding of the antenna cable. If +your antenna system is not correctly installed, the shield might also +not be grounded. One quick solution might be to switch off all +components and then connect first the RS-232 GND line to e.g. the GND +in the SCART connector or the GND at an audio connector of your decoder +before connecting anything else. You might also design the ISO contacts +on the PCB so that GND touches all pins at first when the PCB is +inserted in the card slot. The only really secure protection between +your PC and your decoder would be to use an isolating RS-232 driver +(e.g. you might want to check data sheets of Maxim's MAX250/251/252 +chips which offer RS-232 protection up to 1500 V), but under normal +circumstances you won't need this. + +Use this circuit at your own risk and please don't blame me if anything +doesn't work or produces only smoke and noise. Good luck ... ;-) + diff --git a/textfiles.com/computers/add5.25drive.txt b/textfiles.com/computers/add5.25drive.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..3cafaa0d --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/computers/add5.25drive.txt @@ -0,0 +1,127 @@ + + + + HOOKING A 5.25" DRIVE TO YOUR AMIGA + + by Les Ayling + + ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| + + Hooking up a standard 80 track, double-sided, 5 1/4" floppy disk drive + as drive df2: or df3: + + Looking at the connector from the back side of the external drive, the + pin out is as follows: + + + 712 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 + + + 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 + + + 34 Pin edge connector pin-out is as follows: + + + 34 32 30 28 26 24 22 20 18 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 + + + 33 31 29 27 25 23 21 19 17 15 13 11 9 7 5 3 1 + + + + Wire a DB25 (RS-232) connector with pins 13 and 25 cut off per the + following configuration: + + + 34 Pin 23 Pin + + ----------------- + + 34 --------- 1 + + 32 --------- 13 + + 30 --------- 2 + + 28 --------- 14 + + 26 --------- 15 + + 24 ---7---- 16 + + 22 --------- 17 + + 20 --------- 18 + + 18 --------- 19 + + 16 --------- + + 14 --------- 9 + + 12 --------- 21 + + 10 -- tie to ground, keep the motor running all the time + + 8 --------- 22 + + 6 --------- 20 + + 4 --------- + + 2 --------- + + all odd numbered pins of the 34 pin connector should be tied to pins + 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7 of the 23 Pin connector (grounds). + + + In addition, pin 11 of the 23 pin connector should be wired to a + momentary push-button that can be activated whenever a diskette is + removed and replaced with another.

"That's more than twice the monthly payment you make for +that (expletive) computer!" she continued as she escalated to +screaming. + +"I confess! I confess!" I sobbed. "I'm just an on-line junkie +-- I'm addicted to my modem! I guess I'll just have to join +Modems Anonymous before I owe my soul to the phone company." + +As a counselor for Modems Anonymous, I hear numerous variations +of the preceding story every day. That insidious disease, modem +fever, is exacting a tragically large toll from the cream of our +society's computer users. Modem-mania is sweeping through the +very foundations of our country and there seems to be no stopping +it. This disease (yes, it is a social disease of almost epidemic +proportions) is becoming a such calamity that soon there's even +going to be a soap opera about on-line addiction named, "All My +Modems." + +If you don't already own one of those evil instruments called a +modem, take warning! Don't even think about buying one. Modem +fever sets in very quietly; it sneaks up on you and then grabs +you by the wallet, checkbook or, heaven forbid, credit cards. + +Once you own a modem, you enter the insidious addictive trap by +"dialing up" a friend who also has a modem. For some strange +reason, typing messages to each other fascinates you. (Even if +it is less than 10% of the speed that you can speak the same +words over a normal voice phone link.) Of course, you make +several attempts at hooking up before you finally figure out that +at least one of you must be in the half-duplex mode; that +discovery actually titillates you (sounds impossible, but it's +true). + +Then your modem-buddy (friend is too good a term) sows another +seed on the road to on-line addiction by giving you the number of +a local RBBS (Remote Bulletin Board Service). Once you get an +RBBS phone number, you've taken the first fatal step in a journey +that can only end in on-line addiction. + +After you take the next step by dialing up the the RBBS your +modem-buddy told you about, you find that it's very easy to +"log-on." This weird form of conversation with an unattended +computer is strangely exciting, much more so than just typing +messages when you're on-line with your modem-buddy. The initial +bulletins scroll by and inform you about the board, but you're +too "up" to comprehend most of it. Then you read some of the +messages in the message section and maybe, in a tentative manner, +you enter one or two of your own. That's fun, but the excitement +starts to wear off; you're calming down. Thinking that it might +be worthwhile to go back and re-read the log-on bulletins, you +return to the main RBBS menu. + +Then it happens. The RBBS provides the bait that entices you all +the way into the fiery hell of modem addiction. As you look at +the RBBS main menu to learn how to return to the log-on +bulletins, you find an item called FILES. By asking your host +computer for FILES, you thread the bait onto the hook of +corruption; the FILES SUBMENU sets the hook. You start running +with the line when you LIST the files; you leap into the air with +the sheer joy of the fight when all those public domain program +titles and descriptions scroll by. They're FREE!!! All you have +to do is tell the bulletin board to download (transmit) them to +you. You download your first program and you're landed, in the +creel, cleaned and ready for the cooking fires. In just 55 +minutes after you logged-onto the board, you've downloaded six +programs, one of them is Andrew Fleugelman's PC-Talk, version 3 +(truly an instrument for evil). + +RBBSLIST.DOC, which is also among the files you downloaded, +contains a list of a great number of bulletin boards throughout +the country. (There's evil all around us, constantly tempting +us!) You print the list and find about 60 RBBS phone numbers. +(Have mercy on our souls!) The list also gives you the hours of +operation, communications parameters and informs you about each +board's specialty. You decide to try PC-Talk and use it to +dial-up an RBBS about three states away. Since the line is busy, +you pass the time entering all those RBBS phone numbers into +PC-Talk's voluminous dialing directory. + +You try the number again -- still busy. You think, "Hey, there's +one that specializes in Pascal programs. Maybe I'll try it. It's +about half-way across the country, but it's after 5pm and the +phone rates have changed. It won't be too expensive." + +The Pascal board answers. After 45 minutes you've downloaded +another five programs. Then you call another board -- only this +one's completely across the country from California, in Florida. +And so it goes on into the night... And the next night... And +the next... + +Some days it gets to you. You begin to feel the dirtiness of +modem addiction, particularly when your wife makes you feel like +a child by berating you for those astronomical phone bills -- if +she hasn't divorced you by then. Every time you sit down before +your IBM PC to do some work, you dial up another RBBS instead. +If that one's busy, you call another, and another, until you +connect. Then you feel OK, almost "high." When you finally hang +up, you still can't work; you can only dial up another RBBS. + +Your downfall as an on-line addict is just another one of this +society's terrible tragedies, such as polygamy or the compulsion +to circle all the numbers on computer magazine "bingo cards." +Eventually your whole social life relies upon only the messages +you find on electronic bulletin boards; your only happiness is +the programs you have downloaded. (You never try any of them, +you only collect them.) + +Hope exists, however. We, the dedicated but under-paid staff of +Modems Anonymous, have done extensive research to find a cure for +modem mania, which has been ruining hundreds of lives.

It is intended + solely as a guide to anyone who is interested in saving + a few dollars by using an "industry standard" drive in + place of the Atari SF314. + +Warning: This installation seems to function properly for my sys- + tem, but I cannot guarantee anything. Also, the only way + that a saving will result is if a suitable power supply + is already available, or can be obtained at a very low + price. + +Requirements: 1 3.5" Double Sided Drive w/ Installation kit @ $130 + (The Unit I used was a Toshiba(tm) ND-352 + which came with a multi-purpose mounting + kit. BE SURE that the unit is XT compat- + ible!!(720 K etc)) + 1 5v/12vdc Regulated Power Supply @ $ 25 + (The supply must be capable of supplying + 5V.+/-5% @200 mA and 12V.+/-5% @300 mA. + I saved some money here by using the same + supply that I used for adding a 5 1/4 in. + drive as described in numerous articles + in magazines and on Bulletin Boards.) + + 1 34 pin Card Edge Connector @ $ 3 + (Yes, This is the "industry standard" + used on all XT's and Clones.

The Drive + B method is the simpler, so I will start with it. + + Cut the Standard Drive Cable in half (Save the other + half for another project--maybe!) + + Strip back about 2" of the outer insulation from the + cable. Do Not cut off the shield wire (a layer of wire + woven around the multiple conductors in the cable). + Carefully unweave the shield, and twist it to form a + wire of its own. + + Since the 34 pin connector that I used was designed for + ribbon cable, some ingenuity is required here. Each pin + on the connector ends in a V shaped stud designed to + separate the ribbon cable wire and cut only its insul- + ation when the cover is forced in place. Since most of + the wires in the cable go to the top row of the con- + nector (the even numbered pins) and the shield goes + to the bottom row, along with the wires from pins 3 and + 7 of the Atari connector, I divided them accordingly and + routed them above and below the connector cover. Very + carefully, I pushed each wire far enough into the cor- + responding Vstud to hold it in place. I then forced + the cover down, forcing the wires the rest of the way + into the V. By trial and error I found that the two + ground wires (pins 3 and 7) in the cable did not provide + a sufficient ground path, causing unreliable drive oper- + ation. I overcame this by (gasp!) tying the shield to + ALL of the odd numbered pins on the connector. (That's + what the twisted shield wire is used for.) Carefully + lay it over the bottom row of Vstuds before putting + the connector cover on.

It should have + come with a power cable adapter with a std XT con- + nector on the end. You can either buy a mating + connector or cut it off and splice directly to the wires. + (Generally, pin 1 (red) is 5V, pin 4 (yel) is 12V, and + pins 2&3 (blk) are Ground.) The Installation Kit may + refer to a jumper on pin 34, but this can be ignored. + + Now, the only modification to the drive can be made. + On the Installation Kit PC Board, a Jumper must be + soldered between pin 2 and pin 28 of the Drive Con- + nector.(This is the one that actually connects to + the Disk Drive. It is identical in pin layout to the + Std connector, with pin 2 on the top left as you look + at it.) This connects the Media Change signal on pin + 2 to the Write Protect signal.(Thanks to Analog2 for + pointing me in the right direction on this one.) + These are both open collector, active low signals, and + can be safely wired together.(wired or configuration) + + This should be all that has to be done to make the + drive work. Simply plug the cable into the OUT con- + nector of the first drive or the 1040, and away you + go. + + If you have a 520 and want this to be drive A, the + procedure is the same, except DO NOT CUT THE CABLE + IN HALF. Instead, strip a 3-4 in. section in the + center of the cable, Cut and unweave 1/2 of the + shield. Lead the wires over the Vstuds as before, + but cut the wires from the Atari connector pins 5& + 6.(computer end) Pin 5 wire is connected to the Std + connector pin 10 and pin 6 wire is connected to the + remaining end of pin 5.(The part that will go to the + second drive.) This brings the ds1 signal to the + ds0 pin on the second drive, just like Atari does it. + You can cut off the remaining pin 6 wire if you like, + since it doesn't get used. Don't forget to attach the + shield to the odd number connector pins. + + If you have understood and followed my directions, the + drive should function properly. If not, there is not + much that can cause damage. My version will read and + format and write to double and single sided disks + without any problems.

A.B.P. and A.B.P.D. +VIII. COMMON PROBLEMS + IX. APPENDICES: AWK, SED, & PERL SCRIPTS + +I. DOWNLOADING AND DECODING FILES + +By far the most common method of posting files to alt.binaries.pictures is +the UUENCODE standard. This program, shipped standard with most +implementations of UNIX, converts binary files into plain-text ASCII +files which can be handled by the mail system. You will need a +version of UUDECODE before anything else in order to view anything +downloaded from the net. If your system does not have a version of +UUDECODE available, you can get one via anonymous ftp from +bongo.cc.utexas.edu (128.83.186.13), in the gifstuff/uuxfer directory. + +The first step is to save the file you want to view...in most versions +of the newsreader, this is done by pressing s followed immediately (no +spaces) [NOTE: my rn will allow spaces, though-SQ] by a file name. +You will usually be asked if you want to save it in mailbox format; +you should answer 'n'. + +In the case of a single-part file, you can now uudecode the file, +which will create whatever output file is encoded. You can usually +tell if it's a single-part file by looking on the subject line; +standard nettiquette is to make somthing like (03/06) part of the +subjet line, which indicates you're on part 3 of a 6-part file. If no +numbers are there, you can usually assume it is a 1-part file. If +not, feel free to write the poster (directly...please don't waste +bandwidth by posting) and request that he/she put this info in the +subject line. Be nice about it! + +For multi-part files, life is a little more difficult. If all you +have is a standard UUDECODE program, you will need to trim the headers +and trailers from all of the parts and concatenate the resulting files +together to make one big file, and then run that through UUDECODE. +Use your favorite text editor to strip the headers & trailers of each +file. Then (on UNIX systems) use + cat part1 part2 part3 ... partN | uudecode +to concatenate them and pipe them through uudecode. +If you downloaded the files to an MS-DOS system before concatenating +them, use + copy part1 + part2 + part3 + ... + partN file +to concatenate them. + +There are several versions of UUDECODE out there that will do all of +this for you, including UUEXE (an MS-DOS program written by Richard +Marks) and my own UUXFER program. + +Several people have written scripts in AWK, SED, or PERL which will strip +headers & trailers, concatenate the results and pipe them through +UUDECODE. See section IX. (Appendix) if you want to run one of these. + +If you're going to download it to a home machine, or move it around a +network, remember that most outputs are going to be BINARY files, so +set your transfer protocol accordingly. + + +II. .GIF FILES AND GIF VIEWERS + +Ok. Now you've got this great GIF file from downloading it and +running it through UUDECODE. What is it, and what do you do with it? + +GIF stands for Graphic Interchange Format, and is a standard format +for images that was developed by Compuserve to be a device-independent +method of storing pictures. It includes Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) +compression, which makes the files fairly small. + +You will need a GIF viewer in order to view the file. On X-Windows +workstations the program you need is called xloadimage. If your +system does not have xloadimage, you can get it via anonymous ftp +from bongo.cc.utexas.edu in the gifstuff/xwindows/xloadimage directory. +[NOTE: There are some other good ones there too, like xv and xshowgif.-SQ] + +On the Macintosh, a good one is QuickGIF, but it only runs on color +Macs. If you have a monochrome Mac, you can use VisionLab. +On MS-DOS systems, I personally use VPIC, but there exist +others, including CSHOW. A nice bonus to using CSHOW is that it can +also view several other common picture formats, including MacPAINT +images. Amiga users tell me that VirtGIF will display .GIF files +directly, but that Hamsharp or GIFMachine will convert .GIF +files to other formats, the principle benefit being that the other +formats allow more than 256 colors to be displayed simultaneously. + +Other machines: On Sun workstations running SunView, Alan Sparks has +made his 'artshow' program available, at the same archive mentioned +earlier, at ix1.cc.utexas.edu and bongo at the same address. + +For the Atari ST, there exist several shareware or PD programs, including +BGIF & GIFSPEC, which will convert the GIF files to the Spectrum file type, +which can then be viewed with other software (sorry, I don't know what it's +called). Finally, Apple ][+/e/c types are advised to use IIGIF to view gif +files on these computers, while the advice from a ][GS user is to use +SHRConvert. + +I have tried to make all of the above-mentioned GIF viewers available +from bongo.cc.utexas.edu, in the gifstuff directory. Hunt through the +0filelist file to see if something you need is available. + +Other systems have other viewers. Consult your sysytem administrator +or a local users group for your machine before you post to the asking +if there is a GIF viewer for your specific machine. + + +III. .GL FILES + +Commonly people post files to the net with a .GL extension. These +files are actually animated picture-shows that can be viewed on IBM-PC +machines with the GRASPRT program. The GRASP (GRAphics System for +Professionals) system was developed by Paul Mace as a PAY-WARE system +for transmitting these animated files. The GRASPRT program (public +domain, I believe) is a run-time version for viewing the files. + +Unfortunately, GRASPRT exists only for the PC-Clone family. Recently +some wonderful net-people have written an X windows-based .GL viewer +called xgl (there is also another called xgrasp, but I know little +about it). The source is available from export.lcs.mit.edu...look +in the directory where they keep contributed X code. I will also +endeavor to maintain a copy on bongo.cc.utexas.edu, but I can't promise +that it will be up-to-date. Recently an Amiga version was written... +you can find it in the amiga directory at bongo. + +There is another twist to GRASPRT. An older version admitted only CGA +monitors, but a newer one allows VGA as well. Unfortunately, the +older version doesn't even *recognize* the VGA standard, while the +newer version (which, BTW, is *much* faster than the old one) will not +let you display the VGA GRASP files on a CGA or EGA monitor. Unlike +the .GIF standard, .GL files are not resoultion-independent! + +Anyway, if you have a system other than a PC-Clone, an X system, or an +Amiga, I'm afraid you may be out of luck. Sorry! + +Usually, .GL files are huge, so people often compress them with one of +several popular compression/archiving packages. Perhaps the most +common is the PC family's PKZIP package. If a .GL file is posted with +a .ZIP extension, you know it's been ZIP'ed. Similarly, if it has a +.Z extension, it's been compressed with the UNIX `compress' utility. +If you encounter a file which has been ZIPed, and you have a PC, you +should go find a copy of PKUNZIP (simtel has one). If you *don't* +have a PC, you can get C source code for an UNZIPer from simtel, in +pd1: as unzip.tar-z (you'll have to decompress this +with the UNIX compress utility). + +If the file has been compressed with the UNIX compress utility, and +you're on a UNIX box, clearly you have no problem. If, on the other +hand, you're on some other box, you'll need a de-compressor. You can +find an msdos version of unix compress can be obtained from simtel in +pd1: or wuarchive.wustl.edu in /mirrors/msdos/sq-usq as the +file comp430d.zip. + + +IV. OTHER PICTURE TYPES + +There are other types of single-picture files posted to the net, +although they are not as common as the .GIF files. I suppose that the +next most common type of picture posted is the MacPaint picture. +These pictures, once decoded, are viewable on the Macintosh with the +standard MacPaint program. On the PC-Clone family, the pictures are +viewable with (among other progams) CSHOW. Other than the difference +in the viewing software, the downloading/decoding and encoding/uploading +procedures are identical as for other types of pictures. + +Another common form for pictures to take is the .IFF file, which is a +standard for pictures on the Amiga. I do not know of many programs for +computers other than the Amiga which allow viewing of these files, but +there exist some programs on the Amiga which will convert .IFF files +to .GIF files so the rest of us can see them. It has been pointed out +to me that DeluxePaint on the IBM-PC family will work with .IFF files, +but I have not verified this. + +Occasionally people get into an argument about which standard is best. +I think the answer is: WHO CARES?!? The only thing I have to say +about this matter is that almost every machine under the sun already +has a program written for it to view .GIF files, and if yours doesn't, +shareware or PD source code is available almost everywhere. + + +V. ENCODING AND UPLOADING FILES + +A common question that is asked is this one: what should I post to the +net? The basic answer is: anything you'd like to see here yourself! + +Before I get into the nitty-gritty of how to post, I should say +a few things about the loose etiquette of posting. + +[NOTE: this paragraph is more specific to alt.sex.pictures but still relevant] +The first thing is this: it's probably best to restrict yourself to +one or two images per day. I know you've got 600 MB of XXX-rated GIF +files of your girlfriend engaged in various acts with yourself and a +host of small furry animals that you're dying to distribute all over +the world. However, the net gets severely loaded down by these images, +since they are typically 100 - 300 Kb each. When you post ten of +them at once, lots of people will be frantically downloading them, +which shows up in the weekly Arbitron ratings when alt.sex.pictures +accounts for something like 50% of the entire net traffic, and 75% of +the alt.* traffic. We need to be self-policing if a.s.p is going to +avoid being axed by nervous sysadmins. + + +Second, be sure to give subject lines that are informative, like: + CRASH&BURN.GIF: Plane crash at an air show, 800x600x256 (02/08) +Notice that it includes everything: the file name, a short +description, the resolution, and what part of how many this one is. +If you insist on leaving everything *else* out, at least say which +part it is! + +Third, in the actual message you're posting, be sure to give at least +a brief description of what's in it, like: + + CRASH&BURN.GIF 800x600x256 (in 8 parts) + + This is 15th in the series of this plane crash at the Beruit Air Show + taken at every single conveivable angle. This one was taken from a + photograph by a guy who happened to be standing directly under the + plane as it came down. Pulitzer Prize material. At least the camera + was saved. + +Also, checksums are nice, for people with access to sum programs. It +helps people indentify erroneous transmissions. Usually people say +things like + + Checksums: (obtained with 4.2 BSD 'sum' or SysV 'sum -r') + between 'CUT HERE lines': + part 1: 76663 9082 + part 2: 78973 1234 + etc... + +Finally, if you got the file from some FTP site that was announced +over the net, don't bother posting it. 5-to-1 odds say that everyone +and his dog already have it, and we *really* need to be careful about +wasting bandwidth! If you're unsure of whether there's any interest +in it, just post a short message saying: "I have this file. Mail me +if you want a copy." If 500 people say they want one, post it...if +only one bozo from outer mongolia wants it, it's a sure bet that the +picture has already made the rounds! + +Ok...on to the how-to's of posting. + +First things first: if you have a GIF file, don't bother trying to +run some compression routine on it...it *won't* work. LZW compression +(the kind used in GIF files) is a very efficient compression scheme, +and happens to be the one used in many common compression routines +(including the standard UNIX `compress' utility!). If you try to compress +a GIF file, it will usually just end up getting bigger. + +Ok. You need to UUENCODE the file. Find an encoder and encode it! +If the output file is particularly large (i.e. more than 60 kB), it +would be wise to split up the encoded file into smaller parts (< 60 kB) +and then post those. You can split the file with a text editor if you +like, or...use Richard Marks' UUEXE or my UUXFER programs, which will +do that for you. + +If you do post a multi-part file, be sure to add lines before and +after the data that say 'CUT HERE' so that people trimming the headers +& trailers by hand know where to cut. A recent addition to the +etiquette also has you make the lines say 'BEGIN-----Cut Here' and +'END-----Cut Here' at the obvious locations, so that simple AWK and +PERL scripts can handle multi-part files. Another nice thing to do is +to put the part (02/06) numbers in each file. Again, the afore- +mentioned 'super' uuencode programs will do most of this for you. It +is important to make the "Cut Here" parts in mixed-case or lower-case +letters; some decoders detect data based on the presence of characters +which belong in the normal uuencoding character set, and they will +choke on lines which are all upper-case, since these lines contain +only characters which belong in the set. If you mix the cases, these +decoders will do fine...Remember (if you add "BEGIN" and "END" +keywords) to make "BEGIN" and "END" all caps so exsting scripts won't +miss them, and so uudecoders won't choke on them. + +Now post the files...and remember to include the neat info mentioned +earlier, like subject lines that mean something, descriptions, +checksums, etc... One thing that has been pointed out to me recently +is that certain newsreaders (NN, for example) sort the articles +alphabetically by title, so subject lines with part numbers get +displayed & saved in order. There is an obvious (and common) way to +torpedo this process: make subject lines which do not follow sequentially. + +An example: + first article's subject: "plane crash GIF: CRASH&BURN (part 1 / 4)" + subsequent articles' subjects: "CRASH&BURN (part N / 4)" +These subject lines will not be displayed & sorted correctly by NN. + +However, if you change the arrangement a little, like this: + first article's subject: "CRASH&BURN (part 1/4) plane crash GIF" + subsequent articles' subjects: "CRASH&BURN (part N/4)" +you will please NN-users the world over. + +That's about it for posting! + + +VI. ALTERNATE SOURCES FOR PICTURES + + +Alt.binaries.pictures is certainly not the only source for pictures, nor +are .GIF files the only types available (see section IV.). The most +likely place you are to find other pictures is in an archive that is +reachable via FTP. FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, and is a +program for transmitting files over the network. To use FTP, you will +need access to a computer with the FTP program, and a network +connection. + +Most ftp programs will allow you to enter something like + ftp wsmr-simtel20.army.mil +which will connect you with the mighty SIMTEL-20 archives at the White +Sands Missile Range. Occasionally, you will encounter an ftp program +that is old enough or slothful enough that it does not recognize +internet-style addresses like the one above. In that case, you'll +need to know the computer's numeric address; for SIMTEL-20 +you would enter + ftp 192.88.110.20 + +Once you're connected, you'll have to tell the computer at the other +end that you want to log in, by entering USER (some machines save you +this step by *assuming* you want to log in. What else would you want +to do?) When you are prompted for an account name, enter + anonymous +When it asks you for a password, enter *your* internet address. + +Often the machine to which you are trying to connect will be busy +(i.e. too many anonymous users), in which case the machine will inform +you of this and throw you off. Try again later. + +Now you're in. What do you do? Well, you need to know where the +files are stored that you want. If you know this, just + cd directory-name +to the directory in question. Then you can do a DIR to find out +what is in it. + +So you see a file called CRASH&BURN.GIF and you want it for yourself. +What do you do? Well, the first thing is to tell the computer on the +other end that you want it to transmit a binary file. On most FTP +servers, entering the magic word TENEX will do this. If the machine +doesn't recognize TENEX, try BINARY, or if all else fails, you can +enter + TYPE L 8 +Be sure to do this for .GIF files or you'll get garbage when you try +to view them! + +Now you're ready to grab the files you want. You have two options: +you can type + get filename +or + mget wildcard +where wildcard is any UNIX-style wildcard. MGET will get all files +that satisfy the specification. + +When you're done grabbing files, type QUIT or BYE to log off the remote +machine and return to yours. + +A word about anonymous FTP and .GIF files. When you log onto a remote +machine via anonymous FTP, please try to restrict yourself to no more +then ten minutes of transmission time, or about five to ten files. As +you can imagine, when people discover a new archive of .GIF files, +they are all hot to download every one they can, and often they jam up +the site for *days* You'll notice this effect the first time some +bozo announces the name of a new .GIF archive. You won't be able to +get through without persistent efforts over several hours or even a +day or two. Then the system administrators of that site notice that +they have had about $5,000 worth of anonymous FTP over the last two +days, and revoke the anonymous FTP privilege. Now every one is +screwed. + +Be considerate; grab only a few files and then let someone else have a +chance. This probably won't solve the problem in the long term (still +everyone and his dog will be ftp'ing into that machine), but at least +it will spread the wealth a bit. + +A raging debate erupts on alt.sex.pictures every few weeks concerning +whether to announce new anonymous FTP sites for GIF files, and the +issue has never been settled to everyone's satisfaction. Here I add +my two cents to the discussion: if you discover a site and keep the +name to yourself or pass it on to only a few friends, then the word +will spread slowly, and the site will not have to bear an instantly +heavy load. However, if you announce to the world that you have found +this site, then everyone will descend upon it like a flock of vultures +on a rotting cow, and the site will invariably remove its GIF files. +Which sounds like a better idea to you? + +The other most common method for obtaining files is from an archival +file server. Most of these work in the following way: you send mail +to the server's address, with one-line commands in your message, like + help + directory \pictures\gif\family-oriented + send \pictures\gif\family-oriented\CRASH&BURN.GIF +and the requested info is sent back to you at some later time, when +the server has time to get around to it. + +The first step when you discover a server system is to send a HELP +command so you can learn what the commands are for that server. +However, most servers operate with commands basically similar to those +listed above. + + +VII. ALT.BINARIES.PICTURES AND ALT.BINARIES.PICTURES.D + +These two newsgroups work basically like the comp.binaries.ibm.pc and +c.b.i.p.d groups; one is for posting new material, and one is for +discussing posts and other issues. + +The basic idea is this: if it is a picture, post it to a.b.p. If it +is *ANYTHING ELSE* ANYTHING ANYTHING ANYTHING ELSE, post it to a.b.p.d +The truth is that I feel bad about posting *THIS FILE* to a.b.p, +because it is not a picture. However, the benefits of restricting the +requests for info outweigh the detriment of breaking the until- +recently-unwritten rule. + +PLEASE DO NOT POST ANYTHING TO ALT.BINARIES.PICTURES THAT IS NOT A PICTURE +OF SOME SORT!!!! + + +VIII. COMMON PROBLEMS + +Well, you've downloaded the file, tried to view it, and got garbage. +What went wrong? + +The two most likely places for something to go wrong are both in the +transmission of the file. The first is this: when you downloaded the +file to your home computer, did you remember to tell the modem- +transfer software that you're sending a binary file? + +The second-most likely is that you forgot to say TENEX before you +grabbed the file via FTP. + +Either of these will result in mangled files that are unviewable by +anything known to man. + +Also: did you remember to trim off the header & trailer information if +you are/were using a "simple" uudecoder? The symptom of forgetting to +do this is usually a message something like "short file" from your GIF +viewer. +[NOTE: I have also seen a problem where blank lines are left between +parts (or anywhere for that matter) within the 'begin' and 'end' lines +of the uuencoded file. Uudecode will get through them fine, but some +GIF viewers will choke on the results. The only blank line I've seen +get by is the one just before the 'end' statement. Beware of taking +too much or not enough off of the headers and trailers.-SQ] + +Another common problem is this one: IBM mainframes often use the +EBCDIC character set instead of the ASCII set used by everyone else. +This wouldn't be a problem except that most ASCII-EBCDIC converters +have a bug which mungs the translation of several characters, +including ^ { } and a few others. Even this wouldn't be a problem +except that the particular munging it does is to map several of these +characters onto the *same* wrong character. Ooops. + +The way around this is not to use uuencode to transfer these files, +but to use xx-encode, which produces files which look almost exactly +like uu-encoded files, but they use a character set which is +IBM-proof. If you are using an IBM mainframe as your host computer +and you're having trouble decoding files, this is most likely your +problem. Solution: 1) find a kind soul who is willing to uudecode the +files, xxencode them and send them to you, 2) get the files via FTP, +which should be EBCDIC-proof, or 3) get a better computer that uses +everybody else's character set. :-) + +The last and least likely problem is that some mailer somewhere +actually munged the file. It happens. Fortunately, it doesn't happen +all that often. When it does (and please check all of the other +problems *FIRST*), post to a.b.p.d and request someone to send you +their (working) copy. If enough people post requests of this sort, +eventually the original poster will usually re-post it. If you're the +only person with a problem, someone is bound to send you the file, and +you'll save the net 'hundreds if not thousands of dollars.' + + +IX. APPENDICES: AWK, SED, & PERL SCRIPTS + +Below are the scripts mentioned in section I. I make no assurances as +to how well they work; I use one of the 'super' uudecodes instead. +Not that the SED script will not work unless people follow this recent +trend of putting 'BEGIN' and 'END' in the 'cut here' lines. The AWK & +PERL scripts will work on most files, but some uuencodes put out +nonstandard data, in which case these scripts will bomb and you'll +have to do the work by hand. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------- +AWK script: + +#!/bin/sh + +if [ X$1 != X ] ; then cat $* ; else cat <& 0 ; fi | \ +awk '/begin [0-9]/ {ok = 1} + /^Message/ {ok = 0;next} + /^M/ && (length == 61 || length == 62) {ok = 1} + /[cC]ut [hH]ere/ {ok = 0;next} + /^END-----/ {ok = 0;next} + /^Path:/ {ok = 0;next} + /^$/ {ok = 0;next} + /^-/ {ok = 0;next} + /^_/ {ok = 0;next} + {if (ok) print} + /^end/ {ok = 0}' $* | \ +(cd $HOME/tmp; uudecode) + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +SED idea from Alan Sparks (asparks@viewlogic.com): + +cat $* | sed '/^END/, /^BEGIN/d' | uudecode + + +Recall that this won't work except on files with BEGIN & END as part +of the 'CUT HERE' lines... + +------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +PERL script from Dave Mack (csu@alembic.acs.com): + +#! /usr/local/bin/perl +# +# Combine split uuencoded files into a single data stream with +# e-mail garbage removed and pipe into uudecode.

If that's not an economical way to cheat +though, and you are running NTSC and have the necessary setup, boot the game +in PAL to slow it down.

When ased which item +you should attempt to sale, press the keys 1-5. These items are, of course, +non-existant, but the shopkeeper must be blind or totally mad, as he will +cheerily offer you exorbatant amounts of gold for absolutely nothing. The +best thing is, you can repeat this as often as you like and repeatedly sell +the same non-existant item to the same fool many times. Their is but one +problem with this trick, if you hit numbers higher than 5 this will most +certainly crash the game. + + + +Archipelagos +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +I hate this game. So finish the first two Archipelagos then smash the RETURN +key to select another. Type in the magic number 8421 and bang the RETURN +key a few more times. Now you can go wherever you want.

This is untested, but unless you have at least one of this +fire breathing race you surely wont survive the game. So maybe it would be +good to have more. Use a good mix of the classes, try to take one of each +spell class and a good solid thief that is at full strength. Get a good +enough thief and you dont need a fighter. + +It may be slow, but keep rolling till you get the best character possible. +Be sure to make at least one character female, there are places in the game +where this is a must. Dont do it and be sorry later! + +Diversify your skills. Have each character specialise in a few skills +relative to his class. Do not worry about developing weapons skills, you +have no use for them if you created your party correctly. + +In fights early in the game use Dracons breath attack, just be careful not +to overextend yourself. Rest after each encounter, backing up your hard +work. Allways search the area after a combat. + +Search each square you step in. Not only this, but search facing all four +directions, many things can only be found that way. + +Thieves are not always true. If you find a lock and have your thief open it, +allways guess it is POISON unless you are 100% sure (i.e. tried it before) +because it is better to suffer something else than to die by getting this +wrong. + +Dont bash doors early in the game! If your characters are not very strong +you will be sorry. Jammed doors do you no good, as you might never be able +to open them again. Same goes for picking the lock. Wait till you get a +caster capable of conjuring KNOCK KNOCK with at least 18 points (prefereably +24) and do it this way. It is much more sure. + +Once you know there are secret panels or buttons, keep walking past them +until you discover them. You can find them by looking at the maps and know +where they are, sometimes it takes awhile to sense them. + + + +Barbarian (Palace) +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +On the final level when you confront Drax, walk forward and when the first +fireball comes, jump, then do a forward roll into Drax. If you can't even +get that far then the best way to defeat an oppoent is to roll into him until +he reaches the side, then kick him, roll in to him again and kick him, keep +repeating this method and you'll soon finish the game. + + + +Barbarian (Psygnosis) +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +Type 04-08-59 for near invulnerability. + +To kill the final Wizard, you must have a shield. When his shot comes at you, +use the defense icon, and it will fly back at him. + + + +Barbarian II (Palace) +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + Level 1: left, left, right seven times, left, right, left, in the + cave, and right. Level 2: right, up, left, up, left, left, right, + left three times, up, and left. Level 3: up, right, right, up, left, + right, up, right, left, left, up, left, left, up, up, right, right, + left, left, up. Level 4: hit the fireballs, then try to leap across. + Several low chops will destroy it. Next is the Pit Demon; when he + reaches out, use an overhead chop to hit his arms; repeat until death. + Next, Drax himself! Wait until he pauses between spells, and hit him + with a flying head chop! The End... + + + +Bards Tale I - Tales of the Unknown +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +To get more gold than you will ever need (and then some), transfer all the +parties gold to one player.

The neck chop is one of the more effective blows, but the + program blocks repetition of single moves. To get around this, occass- + ionaly switch to a differnt move in order to enable the neck chop once + again. Give generously to the poor and youll be a step closer to ob- + taining the Sword of the Spheres. + + The Palace - To enter the palace, youll need to get the invitation + from the elusive Gloop, found in Novala. Once you have it, keep out of + fights or you could lose it for good.

She will give you the Ring of Belz, which will + only work in conjunction with the spell scroll. + + In General - Objects are not always found in the same places from game + to game, so a detailed search of both fore and backgrounds is often in + order. To survive the final confrontation, a high psychic rating is + needed, which can be increased by donating skringles to the poor. Dis- + orderly conduct can have the opposite effect. The safest technique in + the space battles, is to slow right down as soon as you see the aliens + shoot them all, then power at full steam until the next lot. Follow + Readheads ship if you see it.

Deploy in the entrance, in the +gap in the outer wall , and take the house to pieces with the rockets, waiting +for droids or Regix to show up - get them with Jonlan's M4000.

When + fighting Gully Dwarves, use Tasslehoff who is the same height as them. + His sling stones will never miss. Avoid fighting Hatchlings, they're + not worth it. Just turn and run when you meet one; when you reach an + intersection move into a new path and wait a little. When you return, + the Hatchling will have gone. Killing Bozaks: two methods: 1) get + Raistlin to use a web, sleep or charm spell to stun it, then send a + warrior to clobber it to death, or 2) select Flint, who is a dwarf; 9 + out of 10 times, the Bozak's shots will go over his head get close to + enter melee combat, and use low thrusts to kill it. Spectral Minions: + they're easy to kill, so use a warrior. Wraiths: a well-timed throw of + an axe kills them every time. If you miss, use a sword and chest-thrust + movements. Don't let it get too close to you! Spiders: use low thrusts + to keep them at bay. If they get through your guard, retreat until you + can turn and fight again. The blue and green potions restore health, + red slows down monsters, and yellow give your characters extra confid- + ence. + + + +Hillsfar +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +When you are attempting to pick locks, make life a whole lot easier by +pressing the F key (that key located between the D and G on the keyboard). + + + +Horror Zombies from the Crypt +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +To attain infinite lives just hold down the M key.

Go to the volcano, fight the ants, and +next day, visit Elmer's station. He'll thank you for saving his life and give +you more flamethrower fuel. + +The entrance to the ants' nest will never appear on the main map, but there +are several other ways to get there: + + - By taking a flight from Hilber's Field. + + - By driving a tank from a battle going on at a nearby location. + + - By going south when you are in a battle at the M1 mine. + +The entrance to the nest doesn't stay open long enough for you to get in +before the ants start invading the various locations in the town so you'll +have to wait until they do. The 11th is the best day to enter the hole since +it is very hot and there are few ants around. If you try cooler days, there +will probably be too many of them around for you to handle. Also, if you +decide to get to the hole by plane, you can land safely on the dirt road +parallel to the tracks leading to the M1 mine. + + + +Ivanhoe +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +To activate the cheat pause the game, type JC IS THE BEST then unpause. + + N - Skip levels + DEL - Kills all on-screen enemies + CTRL - Kills the boss dude + +Enter item#, Scan, Quit, ?=Menu + +Game Cheats> 12 + +Magic Marble +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + Level 01 - Advertiser + Level 02 - Everywhere + Level 03 - Toothpaste + Level 04 - Connection + Level 05 - Cleverness + Level 06 - Copywriter + Level 07 - Television + Level 08 - Cigarettes + Level 09 - Complicate + Level 10 - Impossible + Level 11 - Interested + + + + +Major Motion +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +More[n,Y,=] Using both the mouse and the joystick at the same time will give you more +power for ramming other vehicles. + + + +Manchester United +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +If you're losing a game whilst playing, simply press the appropriate +key/button to start a two player game and the other team should freeze letting +you win kinda easily, I should hope. + + + +Maniac Miner +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +Pause using SPACE and press the * on keypad.

You can do the same with the second group by accepting the second +mission before typing in the password. + + + +Nevermind +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +To activate the cheat that lets you skip to next level by clicking the right +mouse button, type 328GTS on the title page. + + 00 - MMMRHM 01 - AMMRHA 02 - HMMRHH 03 - VMMRHV + 04 - PMMRHP 05 - GMMRHG 06 - IMMRHI 07 - RMMRHR + 08 - MAMRHW 09 - AAMRHN 10 - HAMRHZ 11 - VAMRHT + 12 - HHMWHH 13 - GAMRHQ 14 - IAMRHB 15 - RAMRHF + 16 - MHWWHM 17 - AHMWHA 18 - HHMWHJ 19 - VHMWHV + 20 - PHMWHP 21 - GHMWHG 22 - IHMWHI 23 - RHMWHR + 24 - MVMWHW 25 - AVMWHN + + + +New Zealand Story +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +Pause, press M. After you hear the laser type MOTHERFUCKENKIWIBASTARD for +unlimited lifes. Or FLUFFY KIWIS does the same thing. + +On level 2.4 stand at the entrance to the octopus room and fire to the right a +few times. A warp will take you to level 3.1. + +To access the cheat mode just press "TRY CHEATING" (including the space) keys +together while on the title screen. The border should turn grey and when you +start the game you have infinite kiwi's and the ability to skip levels by +pressing "<-". + +Anyone heard of the whirl-winds? They advance you levels. Near the end of +level 1.1 there are three large steps that you must climb to reach your +brother (sister?), who is in a cage. Stand at the left edge of the top step, +facing left and jump. But as you jump, fire. If your current weapon is +arrows, fire halfway up, but if your weapon is bombs, fire at the top of your +jump. A whirl-wind should appear after four hits, and it will take you to +level 1.4. + +In 1.4, you will be in a little box under some water. Go up and to the right, +and you come out in a small room with three boxes on the right hand side. Go +up these, and you will see 4 long spaces, the top one having an "N" and a "D" +in it. Go up to the top one, get the letters, stand in the centre of the +space, facing left, and fire. Yep, you guessed it, another whirl-wind. This +one takes you to level 2.4. + +Or on level 2.4 , stand at the entrance to the room where the giant octopus +is located and fire to the right several times. A warp will appear that will +take you to the beginning of level 3.1. + +On level 1, part 1, move to the area containing three men with boomerangs, +shoot them. Go to the top of the third platform, move to the left, jump and +fire five times. A whirlwind in a box will appear, if you enter it, you will +be transported to the end of the level. Then you can free Tiki's naughty +friend just by jumping. + +When you recch the ice whale, move to the right-hand side of the spikes, avoid +the crystals, and wait until he picks you up. Once inside the whale, you can +start shooting, but avoid the ice drops. + +Meeting the rock monster without bombs makes him difficult to pass. So +collect bombs, go to the highest platform and shoot him. Kill it by either +dodging the bullets and hitting it when the doors open, or by fireballs. + +The last boss you encounter is the balloon seal. He cant be killed, by blows +to the body, so you must hit the balloon. Be careful for the balloon seal is +armed with a cannon and shoots cannon balls at Tiki. + +The town names are: + + AUCKLAND, ROTORUA, WAITOMO CAVES, STRAIT COOK, and MT COOK. + + + +Neuromancer +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +When you first begin, sell all your body parts. You can get along just fine +without them for now, and it gives you enough to get a half way decent deck. +You will eventually need to buy them back before you start entering +cyber-space, or you will be killed easily. + + + +New York Warriors +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +Stay all the way to the right on level 4 to reach the subway without much +trouble. + + + +Nightbreed +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +Rather than ripping your hair during the encounter with Peloquin, just switch +your joystick to autofire, sit back and wait for the next scene to pop up. + + + +Nightshift +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + Level 02 - Cherry, Banana, Banana, Lemon + 03 - Banana, Cherry, Pineapple, Plum + 04 - Pineapple, Lemon, Pineapple, Pineapple + 05 - Pineapple, Pineapple, Lemon, Cherry + 06 - Cherry, Plum, Plum, Pineapple + 08 - Pineapple, Banana, Pineapple, Cherry + 09 - Pineapple, Lemon, Lemon, Cherry + 10 - Lemom, Banana, Plum, Plum + + + +Ninja Mission +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +While playing, on entering a room, push the joystick in the direction of the +enemy and hold the fire button.

When you reach the end of the level, a silver door +appears. `You don't have to fight the Boss. (Hint A) + +Even more useful is how to create any color gem.

Agnus, Denise and Paula are three indivisible parts of one functional whole. They are completely useless on their own. The Agnus chip controls the addressing for all the chips, that's why it's the only one that needs changing to increase Chip RAM to 1M for ALL the custom chips. Now it is true that Denise has the video output stuff, and Paula has the audio output stuff, but to get the true picture of how the system works you need to ignore the three IC packages, and look and the one logical unit that they function as. + +There's a great set of hires pictures showing exactly how the chips work together on Fish Disk 29. They were done by Jay Miner. + +The newer chips that have nothing to do with custom chipset are Gary and Buster. Gary is a Gate ARraY that just makes the machine cheaper to manufacture, it replaces a handful of TTL parts that do the same thing on the A1000. Buster is a BUS arbitraTER chip used on the A2000's expansion bus. + +The of course there's the 8520s, they are a semi-custom version of a common interface adapter chip. The only real difference is the format of the timer outputs. + + + +------ +COLORS +------ + +90Jun07 from Blaine Gardner@Gateway (106 Meg BBS, SLC Utah) + + 32 colors is the standard in lo-res (320 x n) screens. That's 5 bitplanes, and 2 ^ 5 = 32. The Amiga uses a bitplane setup, not pixel-packed. You can have 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 colors just by setting up a 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 bitplane screen. They are 100% individually addressable pixels at the 1 through 5 bitplane screens. The 64 or 4096 color screens are special modes with some limitations. 64 colors is Extra Half-Brite (EHB) mode, where a 6th bitplane is added. This bitplane specifies whether the pixel is normal or half brightness. So the second 32 colors must be the half-bright values of the first 32. The 4096 color mode is even more fun. HAM stands for Hold And Modify. You can specify 16 absolute colors, and get the rest by modifying the red, green or blue component of the previous pixel. The disadvantage is that unless you are using one of the absolute colors (which can be any of the 4096), it takes 3 pixels to change all three components (RG&B) of a color, so you can get fringing, but in practice it's not much of a problem since programs really know how to minimize the effect these days. + + On bitplanes, the amount of RAM a screen uses relates directly to the resolution and number of bitplanes. 320 x 400 x 6 bitplanes = 768,000 bits, or 96,000 bytes. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 bitplane screens use 16K, 32K, 48K, 64K, and 80K respectively. + + + +------------ +MULTITASKING +------------ + +Name: Piranha #7 @8100 +Date: Tue Dec 05 23:26:19 1989 + +There is a TRIVIAL amount of hardware support for multitasking in the Amiga. The custom chip set does wonderful stuff for graphics, animation, and I/O, but ti does not do much to help the machine multitask. The core of the Amiga's multitasking ability is Exec, a small, but wonderful bit of software that does all the magic. + +If the Amiga REALLY had "hardware support" for multitasking, we'd all have 68020 or 68030 based machines with hardware memory protection. That does seem to be in the distant future since CBM just took over official support of Dave Haynie's SetCPU program. But wouldn't you really prefer that a corrupt program just dumped a "core" file and terminated, instead of taking down all or part of the machine? + + +Don't Panic + +Much is made of the Amiga's ability to multitask. But what makes its multitasking different from other computers? If anyone has used Window 3.0 for the IBM, you will note that the response is a little different from the Amiga. I found this from Guy Garnett of tnc.UUCP (The Next Challenge, Fairfax, Va.), which gives a good explanation of the Amiga's multitasking system. + +Multitasking operating systems can be broken down into two broad categories, "preemptive" and "cooperative". The Amiga, as well as OS/2, Unix, and most mainframes use preemptive multitasking. Multifinder for the Mac, Windows for MS-DOS, and some other computers, use cooperative multitasking. + +Preemptive multitasking is particularly well suited for doing several things at once (which is why it is used so often); some have been known to call it "true" multitasking. Cooperative multitasking is also valid multitasking, but it is less generally useful (anything which can be done on a cooperative multitasking system can also be done with a preemptive system, in theory, but the reverse is not true). + +Programs on the Amiga have a time limit, or "slice"; when the time expires, Exec (a part of the Amiga operating system) takes control away from the running program, and gives it to the next eligible program. The time slice is so short that it appears that many programs are running at once. Programs can also give up control voluntarily; usually this happens when the program is waiting for something, like disk drives, user input, or other "real world" events. The program in effect says "I have nothing to do until someone moves the mouse (or whatever)", and so Exec starts up another program. This helps make efficient use of the computer. + +Unlike many preemptive multitasking operating systems, the Amiga has "real-time response". This means that external events can be detected and responded to quickly ("quickly" is a relative term; the Amiga can respond much faster than most other multitasking systems, although there are several which are designed to respond even faster still). For example, the system can be set up so that a certain program runs between every frame of video (this is how some programs manage color cycling). + + + +------------------------------ +READING & WRITING AT SAME TIME +------------------------------ + +Name: Piranha #7 @8100 +Date: Tue Dec 05 23:31:48 1989 + +Sorry, but the Amiga is incapable of reading or writing to more than one drive at one time. All the LED means is that the drive's motor is turned on. + +There is only one blitter channel for encoding/decoding the MFM bitstream from the drive, so only one drive at a time can be dealt with. Some copy programs go as far as having the CPU messing with one track while the blitter is decoding the next one, but that's as close as you can get. + + + +---------------------- +File systems OFS & FFS +---------------------- + +Name: Blaine Gardner #21 @8103 +Date: Tue Oct 24 23:38:22 1989 + +The file systems are largely identical, but to boost speed in the FFS, some of the redunancy of the OFS was removed. The OFS only has 488 bytes of data per block because the other 24 bytes are used for pointers to the previous block. In the OFS you have a double linked list of the blocks used by a file, both forwards and backwards. This gives you a very safe and easy to recover file system, but you lose speed because you have to strip those 24 bytes out of each block. The FFS is fast for this (and other) reasons, but it's also a but less safe because you only have one way to find a loose block, not two. + +The FFS still has enough redundancy that the security for speed tradeoff is a good choice. And with DMA controllers the speed is really noticable. With the FFS large chunks can be dropped right into RAM from the drive. With the OFS the system has to strip out the link info from the data before it can dump it to RAM. + +If you're not sure what file system a disk is using, just select the disk icon, and use the INFO menu item in Workbench. The "Bytes per block" line will report 488 for OFS and 512 for FFS. + + + +---------- +AUTOCONFIG +---------- + +Date: 29 Jul 90 17:12:28 +From: Blaine Gardner + +There are a couple of misunderstandings here. First is the meaning of "Autoconfig". Unless an expansion device has special autoconfig hardware, and is configured by the Autoconfig hardware protocol (this means among other things that RAM is added from $200000-a00000, depending on other Autoconfig cards in the system), it is NOT an Autoconfig device, but is using some other method to be added to the system. These methods include "Addmem", and the "Ranger" $c00000 address range trick. + +Anything, including the A501, the Spirit Tech, and Michigan Software Insider, that use the $c00000 addressing trick, are NOT Autoconfig, even though they are automatically added to the system. + +The second misunderstanding is the difference between hardware design, and address space. It makes no difference at all in the performance of the hardware what address space the RAM responds to. On the other hand, if the physical design of the RAM expansion shares the Chip RAM bus, then no matter what address space the board is jumpered to, it will still be a victim of Chip bus contention and slowdown. + +So based on the fact that your board is "autorecognized" (NOT "Autoconfiged") at $c00000, and the fact that your Chip RAM and Fast RAM timings are nearly identical, I'd have to stand by my conclusion that your RAM board design is sharing the Chip RAM bus. If this is true, there is nothing you can do to speed it up, other than redesign it. + +Oh, one more thing, if you jumper your board at anything other than the $c00000-e00000 range, does the system automatically recognize it, or do you have to run an "Addmem" type of program? + + + +--- +RAM +--- + +Chip RAM: Accessed by both the custom chips, and the 68000. The ONLY RAM that the Chips can access. All graphics, sound and I/O activity MUST take place in Chip RAM. + +Fast RAM: Most expansion RAM. Can't be accessed by the Chipset, and not on the same bus, so not subject to interruption by them. Therefore "Fast" RAM. + +Half Fast RAM: (say it quick a couple of times :-) The A501 expanson for the A500, or the extra 512K on the A2000 motherboard. Not available to the Chipset, but on the same bus, so subject to interruption by the chipset. Slower than real Fast RAM. + +The Amiga's bus is clocked at 14 MHz, with the 68000 and chipset taking alternate cycles, so they get 7 MHz each. If needed the chipset will steal the bus from the 68000. This does cause slowdowns in program execution, but speeds things up in general because the chipset is more efficient than the 68000 (for graphics, sound, I/O, etc). + +That's with only 512K. With Fast RAM, the 68000 runs at full speed all the time because the chipset cannot interrupt it. It doesn't actually run any faster than Chip RAM, but it's not possible to run SLOWER as it is with Chip RAM. + +Half Fast was the nickname given to what some people saw as the half-assed design of the extra 512K in the new Amigas. You get the worst of both worlds: No access for the chipset, but subject to interruption by the chipset. This was explained away as a cost cutting measure (cheaper to put it on the Chip RAM bus and save the price of another bus and buffers, etc.) But now we know that it was the prelude to the new 1 megabyte Fat Agnus. Now that the new Agnus has been released, the drawbacks of the Half Fast RAM become the great advantages of an extra 512K of Chip RAM. All you do is swap chips, and change one jumper. + +Nothing should change with the extra Chip RAM, except you can have more graphics intensive programs running at once. If you've never run out of Chip RAM while you still had a large chunk of Fast RAM left, you don't need the new chip. I run a 704x470 Workbench screen, and DPaint III can't run in 640x400 16 color mode because it's such a Chip RAM hog. + +The speed of the former Half Fast RAM doesn't change, it just becomes available for use by the chipset. If you've got a 1 megabyte 500 or 2000, ALL of your RAM becomes Chip RAM, but there is no speed change. + + +Don't Panic + +CHIP RAM - This is the first 512K of memory (1 Meg if you have the fatter Agnus, 2 Megs if you happen to have a 3000). This memory is used by the processor and custom chips (hence the name CHIP) for programs, graphics, and audio data. Since the custom chips can block the processors' access to the RAM, programs run slower here. If the custom chips are very active at a given time, the CPU must wait for the bus to be free for it's use. [Some activities of the custom chips can 'cycle steal' from the CPU, causing it to be forced to wait]. Normally, the 68000 on the Amiga only needs the bus every alternate clock cycle in order to run full speed...thus the other cycles not used are taken up by the custom chips. However, when the blitter is in use, or the coprocessor (COPPER), you see some of this cycle stealing. + +FAST RAM - FAST RAM on the Amiga is any RAM out of the reach of the custom chips. It is known as FAST RAM because code and data may be accessed by the CPU there faster, as it does not have to deal with the bus contention in the CHIP RAM addressing space. With FAST RAM on the system, the CPU can generally run full speed regardless, provided the code/data being accessed is in said FAST RAM, as the custom chips cannot access this memory medium, and are not using it's bus. + +Autoconfig RAM - AutoConfig memory is basically a setup of the OS and the memory board which uses it. When a memory board is considered to be AutoConfig, the system will automatically configure it into the free memory pool upon startup. Basically, AutoConfig allows a board to be assigned to a memory address slot based on what is free on the system at configuration time, without your having to configure it manually. On startup, the each board along the line (of physical slots in the machine) appears at a specific memory location, and presents ID information, whereby it is configured to a suitable address space on the system. This done, the next board in line appears, and the same process repeats...on down the line until no further AutoConfig boards remain. Non-AutoConfig memory is not recognized in this manner, and is designed for a specific memory address location only. Using a program such as AddMem, or AddRAM, you are telling the OS where in the addressing space this board can be found, and adding it's memory to free pool list. + +32-bit RAM - On a 16 bit bus (16-bit memory), 16 bits of data can be operated on at one time (transferred about, etc...). The 32bit bus can work with 32-bits of data at a time. Thus if you are running two different buses...on 16-bit and one 32-bit, the 32-bit bus can handle more data at a given interval (assuming appropriate processors for each and equivalent bus speeds). This is handled at the interface logic and bus level. Therefore a 32 bit processor such as a 68020 or 68030 with 32 bit memory (a 3000 or 2500) can access information faster than a 16 bit 68000, even though they might be running at the same speed. + +On many accelerators, (ones with a Memory Management Unit (MMU) in place), it is possible to take an "image" of the system ROM, copy it to a faster medium (32-bit bus area...the accelerator's memory area), then use the MMU to translate address requests to where the ROM image originally was to it's new location. This is done to speed up the system ROM calls. The first 3000's (the ones with "magic" ROMS) did this. allowing the user to load either OS 1.3 or 2.0. + +FASTMEMFIRST - Memory on the Amiga is prioritized. Now, normally CHIP RAM is given a priority on the system of -10. This is to insure it is not used by programs requesting simply "I want a chunk of memory", and not saying "and it needs to be CHIP". This helps prevent CHIP RAM from being used for things which do not need to be there. Now, FastMemFirst is special. On Amigas with 512K of CHIP RAM, the other 512K which make up the 1 meg std. complement is what is called "SLOW-FAST" RAM. This is because, while the custom chips cannot use it, it is still subject to the bus contention for CHIP RAM. FastMemFirst is useful if you have this "SLOW-FAST" memory, and also have true FAST memory on the system. What it does is place your "SLOW-FAST" memory at the same -10 priority as CHIP RAM. Since most true FAST RAM will default to a priority of 0, it places your true FAST RAM ahead of the CHIP and SLOW-FAST memory on the memory lists. This is so programs which do not need to use CHIP RAM (and a program's actual CODE never does for the most part) will be placed in you FAST RAM, and run somewhat faster. SLOW-FAST and CHIP will only be used when either requested specifically by a program, or when your FAST RAM is filled. + + + +-------------------------------------- +PROCESSOR SPEEDS / COMPUTER COMPARISON +-------------------------------------- + +From: daveh@cbmvax.commodore.com (Dave Haynie) +Path: ncr-sd!sdd.hp.com!usc!cs.utexas.edu!uunet!cbmvax!daveh +Organization: Commodore, West Chester, PA + +Your friend is on the right track, but obviously confused about the details. Basically, it's meaningless to compare the clock speeds of different chip architectures without knowing both architectures. The clock speed has little to do with how long the actual chip takes to perform an operation. For at least older CPUs, one actually meaningful number is the bus speed -- how many clocks does the CPU take to run a single cycle on its memory bus. A 68000, an 8086, and several other CPUs of the same vintage take 4 processor clock cycles to run one memory cycle. The Z-80 runs a 3 clock cycle to fetch an instruction, a 4 clock cycle to fetch data. The 6502 takes a single clock for its minimum memory cycle. So while you can figure that an 8MHz 68000 and 8MHz 8086 talk to memory at about the same speed, an 8MHz 6502, if such a chip existed, would be talking to memory more like a 32MHz 68000. + +Motorola and Intel chips of the same basic generation are going about the same memory speed at the same clock rate. For example, both the 80386 and the 68030 take two clock cycles to access memory. Motorola is indeed making faster 68030s than Intel makes 80386s, and they really do go faster. Some RISC chips actually handle one memory cycle per clock cycle, and the burst mode found on 68030s, 68040s, and 80486s lets these chips fetch 4 longwords in as little as 5 clocks, coming close to 1 word per clock. + +And memory fetch is only part of the question. Many CPU operations are internal to the part, and some happen in fewer clocks. The 68040, for instance, takes only one clock to fetch from internal cache, while the 68030 takes the standard two clocks for internal cache fetches (both can fetch from both caches at the same time). + +To sum up, an 8MHz 68000 runs much the same kind of cycle as an 8MHz 8086. An 8MHz 68020 can hit memory 1.5 times as fast, an 8MHz 68030 or 80386 can hit memory 2 times as fast, and a 8MHz 68030 or similar chip can hit burst mode memory nearly 4 times as fast as the 68000 or 8086. Of course, since the 68030 has a 32 bit bus, this is actually a data transfer rate closer to 8 times faster. + +You can't tell the performance of any _SYSTEM_ simply by looking at the CPU's clock speed. You need to know the kind of memory the CPU is talking to (including possibly system-level caches), the any overhead work the CPU is doing (eg, is there other hardware helping out the CPU, or is the CPU being used to replace some hardware), and the nature of the operating system that's driving the whole thing. + +You also need to know the kind of program that's running. You can find some things that a garden variety 12MHz AT will do faster than a plain 68000-based Amiga, and other things the Amiga will do faster. If you know the chip types, you can certainly make a few performance estimates when comparing system to system: you know how many clock cycles a memory fetch would take, what kind of objects the CPU can manipulate, etc. In general, 80286 system compare with 68000 system, 68020 and 68030 system compare with 80386 systems, and 68040 systems should compare well with 80486 systems. + +But again, it depends on how the thing is built. HP has a 50MHz 68030 system that beats most 25MHz 80486 systems in most integer benchmarks (though you'll find the same benchmark on the same system will change depending on the OS in charge at the time). Of course, the HP is designed to be a workstation, and costs like one, whereas most 80486 systems are built much like other PCs. And there's nothing much HP could do to make that machine equal the 80486 in floating point operations, other than dropping a 68040 into it. + + +Machine/OS-- Amiga Mac Atari/TOS 386/UNIX/X-win NeXT + Feature: II SE ST Mega Vista 1280x + + NTSC X X X X X + + Multitasking X X X X X X + Cooperative X X + Preemptive X X X + Coop.-Preemp.

P. means all processes get time relative to priority. C.-P. means that all processes of high priority must go into wait for lower priority processes to get time (in retrospect this, rather than lightweight, is probably what markD originally meant by 'real-time'). + +Multiresolution: Multiple modes are really an artifact of less expensive hardware (allowing trade-off between resolution and bits/pixel) or brain-dead "standards" that cause every device from now until eternity to emulate every earlier device. "Faulting" a 386/UNIX/X/Vista combination -- which can practically "fill" an NTSC signal to the max -- because it can't do alower resolution/bits-per-pixel doesn't make sense, N/A = Not Applicable. Exclusive means the user switches the mode that all applications use (doesn't qualify for "virtual"). Swapped means the application uses a mode and the OS "swaps" the entire screen when you change apps (this is for those brain-dead designs). Windowed means that each window/workspace can have a different resolution. Sliding is a subset of windowed where the mode can only change horizontally or vertically, like a sliding blackboard. Although the ST has multiple modes, you have to reinitialize (i.e. reboot) GEM between them, so I didn't 'X' that. + +Hardware Assist: Exclusive means a process can request exclusive use of the video hardware, side-stepping the queueing that is normally done. + + > Of course the implementation would be different, my only argument is that a VRAM system of the same flexibility as the Amiga would be far more expensive. + + Yes, I think it would be more expensive to use VRAM, I gave the reasons (mainly VRAM+support vs. DRAM) a while back. But, no, if I am wrong about the cost (as Jeff is still trying to convince me of), there is no reason it could not have been as versatile. For example, there isn't really a problem with the VRAM shift register reload time, you have to account for that in _any_ system that is more than 256 wide, you account for it by using a FIFO in front of your pallette that can hold enough pixels during the reload. Ttyhe FIFO/reload puts a limit on how often you can change buffers, but within those limits you can use the copper and have "windowed" virtual screens just like now you have "sliding" virtual screens (Intel's controller can do this). Sprites, like now, are loaded during horizontal retrace. Yes, it's very difficult to implement non exponent-of-2 bits/pixel, but with VRAM you'd would have had the bandwidth (the DRAM limiting factor) to go up to 640x480x8 (even with the A1000's 256k+256k, no less!). And if people the likes of Fred Fish and Leo Schwab are to be trusted ( :-) ), 640x480x8 looks quite a bit better than 320x480 HAM. + +> Would you like to write every graphics routine to support 5 or 6 different numbers of bits per pixel like the Mac II? + + If I could get as many people to buy each of those different bits/pixel systems as Apple has already managed to do, I would be delighted :-). I think it ends up being better tieing the driver-level drawing routines to the hardware, let the hardware match the intended use, and let the OS be ignorant of how the hardware's organized. If the intended use is bits-per-pixel vs. resolution vs. memory then bit-planes are a great way to generalize. If the intended use is single-mode 1280x900x8 it turns out that one can implement a faster line draw using 1 8-bit byte pixel than can be done with 8 16-bit-word planes, mostly due to overhead of reloading the bit-plane parameters. + + + + ST/Amiga Comparison + ------------------- + +Please send updates, corrections, and questions to ken_macleod@pedro.UUCP, or ken_macleod at Bitsko's Bar & Grill, (801) 277-0272. + + Color 520STfm Amiga 500 w/Color Monitor + ------------------- ----------------- + $699 Price(1) $769 + 8.0 Mhz Processor Speed 7.2 Mhz + 1000 Software(1) ?? + ??

There are two ways to do this, DMA (Direct Memory Access), or copying it with the CPU. + +With DMA the DMA controller requests control of the bus, then directly dumps the data into the desired RAM location. The data traverses the bus only once, from DMA controller to RAM. + +In non-DMA (CPU driven I/O) controllers the CPU fetches the data from the controller, then copies the data from the CPU registers to the final location in RAM. This makes TWO trips across the bus, one from drive to CPU, and a second from CPU to RAM. + +Regardless of anything else, you can see that DMA is twice as efficient in bus usage as CPU driven I/O. + +The other way DMA is better is that while a DMA transfer is taking place, the CPU is free for anything else. In a non-DMA design, the CPU is being used for the grunt work of transferring data, so it cannot do anything else while data transfer is happening. + +Remember that this is all happening very fast, so you will not see a non-DMA controller lock up the system during a data transfer because the usual task-switching is taking place. But you will see the CPU free time hit 0%. A DMA controller will leave about 90-95% of the CPU time free. + + +Another advantage to the A2091 is that it does not shut off interrupts when doing disk access like the Kronos does. A friend was unable to download to his hard drive with the Kronos controller, until someone told me that the default setup from CLtd disables interrupts during disk access, in order to get better benchmark times. Sure enough, when we enabled interrupts again, my friend stopped getting errors when downloading to the hard drive, and it did drop the drive benchmark speeds noticably. + +Remember that there are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and Benchmarks. + +If you really want a good indication of a drive or controller's performace, get Disk Speed 3.1 (by Michael Sinz, of CBM) from Fish Disk 329, and run it in "High Intensity" mode with both "DMA Contention" and "CPU Contention" on. Then run it again with both contention modes off. + +This will tell you not only how fast your setup performs under ideal conditions (what every controller seller quotes), but the contention modes will tell you what your setup will do under worst-case modes. Expect to see a dramatic fall off in speed for CPU driven controllers. + +Also, run PerfMon at the slowest time to see what impact on CPU time your hard drive setup has. The Hardframe uses about 20% of the CPU time at most. This will be close to 90% for CPU driven controllers. + +Oh, I meant to say, have PerfMon running WHILE you are running DiskSpeed. + +And for the best, and most repeatable results, run the test on a freshly formatted partition.

The real question is, more than likely, what's the target of your DMA. If you have Fast memory in the system, than the Chip bus saturation is really only a DMA lag problem -- how long might the DMA device have to wait before it gets the bus. Once it has the bus, the transfer into Fast memory occurs at full bus speed. If the DMA was to Chip memory, then it's the same problem the CPU had -- waiting for retrace times. + +>My question to all the DMA opponents is this: given that 4 bitplane hires +>overscanned screen DMA does eat up most of the chip memory bandwidth, why +>should processor-controlled I/O be any better than DMA at using the remaining +>bandwidth? + +It's actually worse, if it relies on any interrupt activity. To begin the transfer, the either CPU or the potential bus master must wait for a clear cycle. The bus master gets it in a single cycle, most of the time, while any interrupt will have to wait for an instruction boundary, and then in most cases fetch its vector from Chip memory anyway. So, DMA or not, you are most likely taking the largest bottleneck waiting on interrupts, not the actual transfer, as long as there's fast memory around. If you have an A2620 or '030 system, try SetCPU V1.6 (to get supervisor stack out of Chip memory) and one of the MoveVBR things to get interrupt vectors out of Chip memory, and your Chip-bus-saturated disk performance should go up, a little or alot will depend on the + +>although a 68030 tight loop might approach DMA efficiency. + +Compared with 16 bit DMA, it does approach DMA efficiency in the limit as 68030 memory access time approaches 0 (not being facetious here; one 32 bit RAM access can be 200ns or less, while two 16 accesses take at least 1120ns). Of course, what you want is to build a DMA controller for the 68030 bus. See "A3000" for more details :-) + + +In article <02048.002057@thiger.UUCP> skraw@thiger.UUCP (Stephan von Krawczynski) writes: +>>> True DMA (ala the A2090) is VERY important to me.

But sometimes a misconception amoung the uninformed. You have to understand the problem you're trying to solve to get a true picture of what's happening. And that problem is, how can you efficiently transfer data from the SCSI chip into system memory. + +The simplest approach would, of course, be to have the CPU wait on the SCSI chip and copy over every single byte as it's available. This is basically what the pre-IIfx Macintoshes all do; they pretend the SCSI chip is slow, 8-bit wide memory, and wait for each byte to become available in a tight CPU copy loop. This is a loosing proposition from the start, however. The most common form of SCSI transfer, asynchronous SCSI, runs at up to 1.5 MB/s (Megabytes per second). Your A2000 bus runs at about 3.5 MB/s. If you run it at only 8 bits/transfer, that's cut down to 1.75 MB/s. However, using the CPU to do the copying, at best, you need two byte reads and one word write to get a word from SCSI chip into memory. That's a maximum speed of 1.17 MB/s for the transfer (neglecting any overhead from the transfer loop, which will be non-zero), and during that transfer, the CPU gets to do NOTHING but copy the data from the SCSI chip. This can't even keep up with SCSI, so we throw it out for anything but the cheapest controllers (the original TrumpCard and the original C Ltd controllers worked this way). + +The next approach would be to funnel two SCSI bytes into one word and do the same wait-copy approach. This would yield a maximum transfer rate of 1.75 MB/s, which will keep up with asynchronous SCSI at its fastest. However, this wait-copy approach has severe drawbacks. It gets the data into memory extremely fast, since nothing but the copy can happen until the data is in memory. But you may actually be WAITING for the data from the SCSI drive, for seeks or other times at which you're not getting it in at full speed. This kind of scheme may APPEAR to be the fastest transfer, since in using polled I/O instead of interrupts, there's never any lag at the end of the transfer, but you sacrifice your SYSTEM speed for hard disk speed. Overall, things will be slower, since you actually end up wasting time in wait states, waiting on the hard disk. Single tasking systems like the Macintosh or PC might take this OK, since they have nothing else to do anyway, but it's no good for an Amiga. C Ltd's Kronos and Supra's WordSync both funnel SCSI into the 16 bit data path, though I don't know if they hog the bus as described or not. + +The third approach is to add a buffer to your CPU copy approach. In this system, you have the SCSI chip itself conduct a DMA-like transfer into some private controller memory (many SCSI chips provide a counter output to make the hardware for this easy). Once the transfer is complete, the controller interrupts the CPU, which does a fast memory-to-memory copy of the acquired data block, all at once. The transfer speed here is still the same 1.75 MB/s as in the previous method, however, it always occurs at full speed. The preceived disk speed may be a bit slower, since the actual transfer doesn't start until the block is fully read, but the overall SYSTEM goes faster, since no time is wasted in wait states. The GVP controller does this. + +The final method is true DMA. While DMA controllers can use a full block buffering method, most use some kind of FIFO, which tends to be more efficient with DMA. The DMA controller can transfer data at the full 3.5 MB/s, although asynchronous SCSI can only manage 1.5 MB/s. The CPU will set up the DMA controller with a destination for any number of SCSI blocks, and then the DMA controller takes over. When the FIFO is near full, it requests the bus, transfers data at full speed, and then gives the bus back when the FIFO empties until the FIFO is near full again. The actual data gets into memory not much differently than the buffered CPU copy approach (eg, no wait states), but for the same amount of data transferred, the DMA device uses 1/2 the bus time. The other 1/2 is available to the CPU, so CPU work actually gets done during the transfer, even if waiting is required. A2090[a], A2091, A3000, and Microbotics Hardframe work this way (the A3000 DMA controller, by the way, runs at around 20 MB/s on a 25MHz A3000). + +>you win nothing because you have a whole lot of DMA going on already inside +>the system + +The other DMA in the system is a completely different kind of DMA. Hard disk controllers run on the Fast/Expansion bus just like the CPU, while "Amiga" DMA is this special slot-allocated bus sharing that only takes place on the Chip bus. The two are unrelated; in fact, as far as the Fast or Chip bus is concerned, there's no difference between CPU access or access by a DMA driven expansion device such as a hard disk controller. + +>and processor's running into heavy troubles sometimes, e.g. +>harddisk-performance is very low while using overscan-graphics (just to +>mention an example). + +The only case in which overscan-graphics cause a problem is in the case of the 2090[a] controllers. And this has nothing to do with DMA. The effect of overscan with many bitplanes on is to tie up the chip bus for long periods of time. If the CPU is trying to access Chip memory at this time, it gets wait stated and can do nothing until a retrace comes along. DMA or non-DMA, you have the same problem here -- getting the CPU away from waiting on Chip RAM, either by interrupt in the non-DMA case or by bus request in the DMA case. While the hard disk controller is waiting for CPU/bus access, there is still SCSI activity coming in. Unless your controller fully buffering, as in my third case, it must tell SCSI to stop sending data. The problem with the A2090[a] is that it didn't know how to do this. At least part of that problem was due to it's support of ST-506. At the time, ST-506 was the primary interface, SCSI was simply added because it was easy. ST-506 is slower than SCSI, and being a dumb interface, can't be stopped. So for whatever reasons, the A2090[a] controllers didn't know how to tell SCSI to stop sending when they couldn't get the bus fast enough, so they don't work well with heavy chip bus activity. This IS NOT a general problem with DMA! The A2091, A3000, Hardframe, and most likely any other DMA driven controller will work as well with overscan, if not better, than any non-DMA device. The manufacturers of non-DMA devices often try to mislead you by claiming "DMA problems" and implying they pertain to all DMA driven controllers, not just the A2090[a] (which, by the way, haven't been made for awhile). + +>well, how about "transfer rates up to 4MB/SEC synchronous" (gvp). in fact +>i have never understood this one. what do they mean? 4MBytes/sec? + +As I mentioned previously, asynchronous-mode SCSI transfers run at about 1.5 MB/s, tops. All SCSI devices out there run in asynchronous mode, and many don't handle synchronous mode. That's one of the reasons that the non-DMA controllers have managed, so far, to appear as fast or, parasitically, faster, than the DMA controllers -- as long as the SCSI transfers aren't faster than your transfer mechanism can handle, the speed of SCSI is the limiting factor. In synchronous mode, the SCSI bus uses a clock to coordinate the transfer, yielding potential transfers of 2 MB/s to 5 MB/s, depending on the clock. There's also a fast synchronous mode as part of the SCSI-2 spec which has a top speed of 10 MB/s. Synchronous won't make much difference in most single drive situations, anyway, since the raw speed of data coming off the disk is still around 1.25-1.5 MB/s, at best. But if you have multiple devices on the SCSI bus, and when faster devices are available, controllers that don't saturate the Amiga at 1.5 MB/s (eg, DMA controllers) will go noticably faster than non-DMA controllers. + +>i have never seen a controller/hd-combination reaching this. + +Like I said above, you probably won't. Just yet. And the raw SCSI transfer speed is only part of the equation -- your interrupt lag, device driver efficiency, system load, etc. all add to effective disk speed. + +>4MBits/sec = 512kBytes/sec. seems to be more like the truth, but is an +>absolutely ridiculous value + +No, it's 4 MegaBYTES per Second. That's trivial compared to the speed of the A3000's main bus or Zorro III bus, though not bad for the kind of peripheral bus SCSI is supposed to be. As I mentioned, the drives themselves are still catching up to this, and most A2000-class SCSI controllers are caught up short. The A3000 can hit around 1.2 MB/s through the filesystem with an asynchronous SCSI device, since it's fast DMA and fast bus arbitration are practically invisible when compared to the speed of SCSI. And keep in mind, while that DMA is happening, you're only using about 7.5% of the 3000's main bus bandwidth (a full speed synchronous SCSI could take 25% if it could be sustained). + +Dave Haynie Commodore-Amiga (Amiga 3000) "The Crew That Never Rests" +{uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh PLINK: hazy BIX: hazy +Get that coffee outta my face, put a Margarita in its place! + + + +--------------------------- +Hidden Goodies in Workbench +--------------------------- + +1.x = hold both Shift & Alt keys + press & hold each of F keys in turn (different messages for each key) + Insert disk in & out of DF0: (bad or nice message on eject) + +2.x = click on Workbench window with Left button, + press & hold: Ctrl, both Alt, both Shift, + select any Workbench menu items with mouse, + release keys and choose ÒLast MessageÓ from menu (repeat each menu) + +3.x = 1.

I present them here filtered only through my +memory and my Ann Arbor. My comments are in [square brackets]. What +follows is a neutron-star-condensed version of about three and one half +hours of completely uninterrupted discussion. + + + +PART 1 - The Rise and Fall of Amiga Computer Inc. +==== === === ==== === ==== == ===== ======== ==== + + +The Early Days +--- ----- ---- + Amiga Computer Inc. had its beginnings, strangely enough, RJ began, with +the idea of three Florida doctors who had a spare $7 million to invest. +They thought of opening a department store franchise, but (as RJ said) they +wanted to try something a bit more exciting. So they decided to start a +computer company. "Yeah, that's it! A computer company! That's the +ticket! :-)" + + They found Jay Miner, who was then at Atari (boo hiss) and Dave Morse, +the VP of sales (you can see their orientation right off..) they lifted +>from Tonka Toys. The idea right from the start was to make the most killer +game box they could. That was it, and nothing more. However Jay and the +techies had other ideas. Fortunately they concealed them well, so the +upper management types still thought they were just getting a great game +machine. Of course the market for machines like that was hot hot hot in +1982... + + They got the name out of the thesaurus; they wanted to convey the +thought of friendliness, and Amiga was the first synonym in the list. The +fact that it came lexically before Apple didn't hurt any either, said RJ. + + However before they could get a machine out the door, they wanted to +establish a "market presence" which would give them an established name and +some distribution channels - keep thinking "game machine" - which they did +by selling peripherals and software that they bought the rights to from +other vendors. Principal among these was the Joyboard, a sort of joystick +that you stand on, and you sway and wiggle your hips to control the +switches under the base. They had a ski game of course, and some track & +field type games that they sold with this Joyboard. But one game the folks +at Amiga Inc. thought up themselves was the Zen Meditation game, where you +sat on the Joyboard and tried to remain perfectly motionless. This was +perfect relaxation from product development, as well as from the ski game. +And in fact, this is where the term Guru Meditation comes from; the only +way to keep sane when your machine crashes all the time is the ol' +Joyboard. The execs tried to get them to take out the Guru, but the early +developers, bless 'em, raised such a hue and cry they had to put it back in +right away. + + When RJ interviewed with Amiga Computer (he had been at Williams) in +July 1983, the retail price target for the Amiga was $400. Perfect for a +killer game machine. By the time he accepted three weeks later, the target +was up to $600 and rising fast. Partly this was due to the bottom dropping +completely out of the game market; the doctors and the execs knew they had +to have something more than just another game box to survive. That's when +the techies' foresight in designing in everything from disk controllers to +keyboard (yes, the original original Amiga had NO KEYBOARD), ports, and +disk drives began to pay off. + + The exciting part of the Amiga's development, in a way its adolescence, +that magical time of loss of innocence and exposure to the beauties and +cruelties of the real world, began as plans were made to introduce it, +secretly of course, at the winter CES on January 4th, 1984(?). + + +Adolescence +----------- + The software was done ten days before the CES, and running fine on the +simulators. Unfortunately when the hardware was finally powered up several +days later, (surprise) it didn't match its simulations. This hardware, of +course, was still not in silicon. The custom chips were in fact large +breadboards, placed vertically around a central core and wired together +round the edges like a Cray. Each of the three custom `chips' had one of +these towers, each one a mass of wires. According to RJ, the path leading +up to the first Amiga breadboard, with its roll-out antistatic flooring, +the antistatic walls just wide enough apart for one person to fit through +and all the signs saying Ground Thyself, made one think of nothing so much +as an altar to some technology god. + + After working feverishly right up to the opening minutes of the CES, +including most everybody working on Christmas, they had a working Amiga, +still in breadboard, at the show in the booth in a special enclosed gray +room, so they could give private demos. Unfortunately if you rode up the +exhibit-hall escalator and craned your neck, you could see into the room +>from the top. + + The Amiga was, RJ reminisced, the hardest he or most anyone there had +ever worked. "We worked with a great passion...my most cherished memory is +how much we cared about what we were doing. We had something to prove...a +real love for it. We created our own sense of family out there." + + After the first successful night of the CES, all the marketing guys got +dollar signs in their eyes because the Amiga made SUCH a splash even though +they were trying to keep it "secret." + + And so they took out all the technical staff for Italian food, everyone +got drunk and then they wandered back to the exhibit hall to work some more +on demos, quick bug fixes, features that didn't work, and so on. At CES +everyone worked about 20 hours a day, when they weren't eating or sleeping. + + RJ and Dale Luck were known as the "dancing fools" around the office +because they'd play really loud music and dance around during compiles to +stay awake. + + Late that night, in their drunken stupor, Dale and RJ put the finishing +touches on what would become the canonical Amiga demo, Boing. + + At last the true story is told. + + +Money Problems +----- -------- + After the CES, Amiga Inc. was very nearly broke and heavily in debt. It +had cost quite a bit more than the original $7 million to bring the Amiga +even that far, and lots more time and money were needed to bring it to the +market. Unfortunately the doctors wanted out, and wouldn't invest any +more. So outside funding was needed, and quick. + + The VP of Finance balanced things for a little while, and even though +they were $11 million in the hole they managed to pay off the longest- +standing debts and keep one step ahead of Chapter 11. After much +scrounging, they got enough money to take them to the June CES; for that +they had REAL WORKING SILICON. People kept peeking under the skirts of the +booth tables asking "Where's the REAL computer generating these displays?" + + Now money started flowing and interest was really being generated in the +media. And like most small companies, as soon as the money came in the +door it was spent. More people were added - hardware folks to optimize and +cost-reduce the design; software people to finish the OS. Even the sudden +influx of cash was only enough to keep them out of bankruptcy, though; they +were still broke and getting broker all the time. How much WOULD have been +enough? RJ said that if he were starting over, he'd need about $49 +million to take the machine from design idea to market. Of course Amiga +Inc. had nowhere near that much, and they were feeling the crunch. Every- +body tightened their belts and persevered somehow. They actually were at +one point so broke they couldn't meet their payroll; Dave Morse, the VP of +Sales, took out a second mortgage on his house to help cover it, but it +still wasn't enough. + + They knew they were going under, and unless they could find someone +quick to buy them out they were going to be looking for jobs very shortly. +They talked to Sony, to Apple, to Phillips and HP, Silicon Graphics (who +just wanted the chips) and even Sears. Finally...they called Atari. (Boo! +Hiss! [literally - the audience hissed at Jack Tramiel's name!]) Trying to +be discreet, RJ's only personal comment on Jack Tramiel was (and it took +him a while to formulate this sentence) "an interesting product of the +capitalist system." Ahem. Apparently Tramiel has been quoted as saying +"Business is War." Tramiel had recently left Commodore in a huff and +bought Atari "undercover" so that by the time he left C= he was already CEO +of Atari. + + Realizing that Commodore was coming out with their own hot game machine, +Tramiel figured he'd revenge himself on them for dumping him by buying +Amiga Inc. and driving C= down the tubes with "his" superior product. So +Atari gave them half a million just for negotiating for a month; that money +was gone in a day. + + Of course Tramiel saw that Amiga Inc. wasn't in a very good bargaining +position; basically unless they were bought they were on the street. So he +offered them 98 cents a share; Dave Morse held out for $2.00. But instead +of bargaining in good faith, every time Morse and Amiga tried to meet them +halfway their bid went down! + +"Okay, $1.50 a share. + No, we think we'll give you 80 cents. +How about $1.25? + 70 cents." + +And so on... + + Even Dave Morse, the staunchest believer in the concept that was the +Amiga, the guiding light who made everyone's hair stand on end when he +walked into the room, was getting depressed. Gloom set in. Things looked +grim. + + Then, just three days before the month deadline was up, Commodore +called. Two days later they bought Amiga Inc. for $4.25 a share. They +offered them $4.00, but Dave Morse TURNED THEM DOWN saying it wasn't +acceptable to his employees; he was on the verge of walking out when they +offered $4.25. He signed right then and there. + + +The Commodore Years +--- --------- ----- + Commodore gave them $27 million for development; they'd never seen that +much money in one place before. They went right out and bought a Sun +workstation for every software person, with Ethernet and disk servers and +everything. The excitement was back. + + Commodore did many good things for the Amiga; not only did they cost- +reduce it without losing much functionality, they had this concept of it as +a business machine; this was a very different attitude from what Amiga Inc. +had been working with. Because of that philosophy, they improved the +keyboard [ha! - garyo] and made lots of other little improvements that RJ +didn't elaborate on. + + What could Commodore have given them that they didn't? The one thing RJ +wanted most from them was an extra 18 months of development time. Unfortu- +nately Commodore wasn't exactly rich right then either, so they had to +bring out the product ASAP [and when is it ever any different?] Also, he +said, they could have MARKETED it. (applause!). If he'd had that extra 18 +months, he could have made Intuition a device rather than a separate kind +of thing; he could have released it much more bug-free. + + As far as marketing goes, the old ad agency has been fired; we should +see some new Amiga ads real soon now. + + +The Future +--- ------ + RJ's advice for A1000 owners: "Keep what you've got. It's not worth it +to trade up. The A1000 is really a better machine." + + This may be sour grapes on RJ's part, since the Amiga 2000 was designed +in Braunschweig, West Germany, and the version of the A2000 being worked on +in Los Gatos was rejected in favor of the Braunschweig-Commodore version. +However the A1000 compares to the A2000, though, the Los Gatos 2000 would +have certainly been better than either machine. C= management vetoed it +because Braunschweig promised a faster design turnaround (and, to their +credit, were much faster in execution than the Los Gatos group would have +been) and more cost-reduction, which was their specialty. Los Gatos, on +the other hand, wanted a dream machine with vastly expanded capabilities in +every facet of the machine. The cruel financial facts forced C= to go with +the Business Computer Group, who did the Sidecar in Braunschweig as well, +and quickly and cheaply. + + So they fired more than half the staff at the original Los Gatos +facility, one by one. That trauma was to some extent played out on the +net; no doubt many of you remember it as a very difficult and emotional +time. There are now only six people left in Los Gatos, and their lease +expires in March, so thus expires the original Amiga group. + + And that's how RJ ended his talk; the rise and fall of Amiga Computer +Inc. The future of the Amiga is now in the hands of Westchester and +Braunschweig, and who knows what direction it will take? + + + +PART 2 - Technical Questions From the Audience +==== === ========= ========= ==== === ======== + + + I'll just make this part a list of technical questions and answers, +since that was the format at the talk anyway. This part is part technical +inquiries and part total rumor mill; caveat emptor. + + Q's are from the audience, A's are =RJ=. + +............................................................................ + +Q: When is 1.3 coming and what's in it? + +A: 1.3 (or maybe it'll be called 1.2A) will be mostly just 1.2 with hard + disk boot; it'll look for Workbench on dh0: as well as df0:. + + No one is working on it right now, although there are people in West + Chester planning it. + + +Q: Can you do double buffering with Intuition? +A: Pop answer: No. Thought-out: well, yes, but it's not easy. Use + MenuVerify and don't change the display while menus are up. It's pretty + hairy. + + +Q: How big is intuition (source code)? +A: The listings (commented) are about a foot thick, 60 lpp, 1 inch margins. + + +Q: Where did MetaComCo come into the Amiga story? +A: MCC's AmigaDOS was a backup plan; the original Los Gatos-written + AmigaDOS was done with some co-developers who dropped out due to + contract and money hassles when C= bought Amiga. Then MCC had to crank + EXTREMELY hard to get their BCPL DOS into the system at the last + possible minute. + + +Q: Why isn't the Sidecar out? +A: Who knows? It passed FCC in December... + + +Q: Why no MMU? +A: Several reasons. Obviously, cost was a factor. MMUs available at the + time the Amiga was designed also consumed system time [this is what he + said- I'm just the scribe]; although newer MMUs solve this problem they + were too late for the Amiga. + + Second, the original goal of the Amiga was to be a killer game machine + with easy low-level access, and an MMU didn't seem necessary for a game + machine. + + Third [get this!] with an MMU, message-passing becomes MUCH MUCH hairier + and slower, since in the Amiga messages are passed by just passing a + pointer to someone else's memory. With protection, either public memory + would need to be done and system calls issued to allocate it, etc., or + the entire message would have to be passed. Yecch. So the lack of MMU + actually speeds up the basic operation of the Amiga several fold. + + +Q: Why no resource tracking? +A: The original AmigaDOS/Exec had resource tracking; it's a shame it died. + + +Q: How is your game coming? [??] +A: It's just now becoming a front-burner project. It's number crunch + intensive; hopefully it will even take over the PC part of the 2000 for + extra crunch. It's half action, half strategy; the 'creation' part is + done, only the playing part needs to be written. Next question. :-) + + +Q: Will there ever be an advanced version of the chip set? +A: Well, Jay Miner isn't working on anything right now... [RUMOR ALERT] + The chip folks left in Los Gatos who are losing their lease in March + were at one time thinking about 1k square 2meg chip space 128-color + graphics, although still with 4 bit color DACs though... and even stuff + like a blitter per plane (!!) They were supposed to be done now, in the + original plans; the chip designers will be gone in March, but the design + may (?) continue in West Chester. Maybe they'll be here two years from + now. + + +Q: What will happen to the unused Los Gatos A2000 design? +A: ?????? + + +Q: Should I upgrade from my 1000 to a 20 +00? +A: Probably not. The 2000 isn't enough better to justify the cost. Unless + you need the PC compatibility, RJ advocated staying with the 1000. + After all the 2000 doesn't have the nifty garage for the keyboard...:-) + The A1000 keyboard is better built; you can have kickstart on disk; it's + smaller and a LOT quieter, [maybe not than the old internal drives!!!] + and uses less power; the 2000 has no composite video out, plus the RGB + quality is a tad worse. Composite video (PAL or NTSC) is an extra-cost + option with the 2000. + + +Q: Have you ever seen a working Amiga-Live!? +A: Yes, I've seen it taking 32-color images at 16fps, and HAM pictures at + something like half that. [!!] It's all done and working. I don't know + why it's not out. It sure beats Digiview at 8 seconds per image! + + +Q: What do you use for Amiga development tools? +A: DPaint and Infominder, Aztec C, Andy Finkel's Microemacs. + +Q: What's the future of the A1000? +A: They aren't making any right now; they're just shipping from stock. But + they do claim that they intend to continue making them. + + +Q: Is MetaComCo's stuff all really slow, or what? :-) +A: Yes, it is slow. But don't knock it, it works. + + +Q: Who is the competition for Amiga right now? +A: The new Macs are so expensive, they're not a threat to the 2000, much + less the 1000. Atari's new stuff "doesn't impress me." [that's all he + said.] + + +Q: What can I do about lack of Amiga ads, and the quality of the ones that + do exist? +A: Write (don't call) Clive Smith in Marketing at Westchester and tell him + they need better ads. + + +Q: Why are the pixels 10% higher than wide? +A: The hardware came out that way, and it would have been a pain to do it + any other way due to sync-rate-multiple timing constraints. + + +[that's all folks!] + +=========================================================================== + +The preceding tome was produced entirely by placing my terminal cable just +next to the microwave on high and wiggling it around like !*(&t%*h5i@!s, so +don't take any of it too seriously. :-) + + Gary Oberbrunner + +-- +Remember, -Truth is not beauty; +Information is not knowledge; / Beauty is not love; Gary Oberbrunner +Knowledge is not wisdom; / Love is not music; ...!masscomp!garyo +Wisdom is not truth; ----/ Music is the best. - FZ + +-- +--------------------------- Signature Version 1.2 --------------------------- +| bear@bu-pub.bu.edu enge05c@buacca.bu.edu | +| | +| "Love is like oxygen.

Please refer to that article for +more information about the I/O Board as well as ordering information. -JL + +Happy Holidays! +============================================================================= + +12 December 1990 + + More Ports for Your Amiga + + An I/O Expansion board + +by Jeff Lavin +Copyright )1990 The Puzzle Factory + +Many of you in the Amiga community have built Brad Fowles' excellent "LUCAS" +accelerator board, which introduced the idea of "Public Domain Hardware". In +this article I will present another public domain hardware project for the +Amiga, which will enable you to add two parallel ports and two serial ports +to your Amiga 500, 1000 or 2000 for $70. Furthermore, you can easily and +inexpensively upgrade to four parallel ports and/or four serial ports at any +time. + +The hardware consists of a small printed circuit board with a 40 pin cable +and DIP jumper that plugs into the socket occupied by CIA B, and a small pcb +that contains the serial interface. CIA B is physically moved onto the I/O +Expansion board. + +This hardware supports 15 standard baud rates, from 50 to 38,400 baud, plus +MIDI (31,250 baud). It also supports full hardware handshaking. Up to four +units may be open at one time, although the cpu may not be able to keep up +with all four units running above 2400 baud. + + +Raison d'etre +============= +As a hardware hacker of long standing, I have a number of small computers +with all sorts of hardware attached to them, from extra ports to EPROM prog- +rammers, and longed to do the same with the Amiga. Since the Amiga uses a +pair of 8520's (actually 6526's) for its I/O, I figured it would be a piece +of cake to add more 65/68XX family peripheral chips and be up and running. +The only problem was that, because there is no obvious chip select decoding, +I could never figure out how the 8520's were addressed. One day a friend +came by, and we were able to figure out that the I/O chips are +"automatically" selected when certain addresses are generated by logic hidden +in the PALS. Now that the final piece of the puzzle was in place, I wasted +no time and had a prototype in my Amiga in two weeks. + + +How it works +============ +This hardware hack is possible because of two things the designers of the +Amiga did for us: + + 1. The address space where the CIAs live is incompletely decoded. This + means the 16 CIA registers are echoed repeatedly over a large range. + + 2. The locations where software is supposed to address the CIA registers + is completely specified over a much smaller range. + +These two facts make it possible for us to take the chip select from one CIA, +and divide it into four parts. The addresses in the upper part are routed to +the CIA normally, and we "steal" the addresses from the remainder of the +space for our own use. Because the "hard" part, most of the address decoding +and the bus timing, has been done for us, we can get away with nothing more +complicated than an additional address decoder to split off our address space. + +Unfortunately, this hack is not possible on the A3000 for the same reason +that it is possible on earlier Amigas. The address decoding on the A3000 is +complete; there are no "extra" incompletely decoded addresses to "steal". + +The VIA and ACIA registers are still echoed over a pretty wide address range. +We have specified where to address them for the same reason that Commodore +has specified addresses for the CIAs: to ensure software compatibility. We +would very much like to see enough people build these boards to create an +installed software base. So programmers, please use these addresses when you +are writing all those neat multi-line BBS programs and multi-user +applications, as well as process control programs, robotics demos, etc. + + +Software +======== +Of course, hardware is next to useless without software to drive it. This +section describes the software available for the I/O Expansion Board. + +The Serial Driver +----------------- +Almost all programs written for the Amiga that use the serial port (with the +notable exception of some MIDI software) access it indirectly via a standard +software module called "serial.device". As a result, most existing software +will work fine with the I/O Board given a suitable driver, and we supply one, +named "newser.device". Simply copy it to your "DEVS:" directory and you're +in business. Most programs will permit you to change the device name (from +serial.device to newser.device) as well as the unit number (indicating which +port is to be used), or you may use the supplied IOpatch utility, described +below (see "Support Programs"). It is worth noting that, as with all other +programs relating to the I/O Board, we supply complete assembly language +source code of the driver. If you encounter a problem - and all else fails - +it's possible to fix it yourself. + +The Parallel Driver +------------------- +The four parallel ports on the I/O Expansion Board are controlled by the +eightbit.device. There are no known differences between this device and the +V1.3 parallel.device. Applications should not experience any problems +communicating with the eightbit.device on the device level. Full assembly +language source code of the driver is supplied with the I/O Expansion board. + +DOS-Level Support +----------------- +"DOS-level support" refers to the ability to get and send data via the serial +and parallel ports with standard AmigaDOS commands, such as TYPE or LIST, or +with any program that does serial or parallel I/O via AmigaDOS, rather than +directly via the Exec-level "newser.device" or "eightbit.device". Although +this sort of capability is not frequently used, it is useful from time to +time. + +In a perfect world, DOS-level support would mean nothing more than an +appropriate MountList entry, specifying a driver name of "newser.device" or +"eightbit.device", and some unit number of your choosing, corresponding to a +DOS name such as "SER1" or "PAR2". Unfortunately, Commodore supplied a +version of the Port-Handler and Aux-Handler with Workbench V1.3 that doesn't +permit this; rather, they're hard-coded to use either "serial.device" or +"parallel.device". The printer.device suffers from a similar limitation. At +the time of this writing, we don't have a solution, other than using IOpatch. +However, we expect to have replacement handlers ready by the time you read +this. In addition, the handlers in Workbench V2.0 have the capability to use +any device and unit, so this whole problem is non-existent if you have V2.0. + + +Support Programs +---------------- +Several programs are available for use with the I/O Expansion Board. + +SERprefs functions much the same as the serial section of Preferences, but +allows you to set and save parameters for all four units of the +newser.device. These are saved in "S:Serial-Preferences". + +Many programs allow you to specify the device name and unit number, so that +using an alternate device driver is no problem. For those applications that +insist on using a particular device, we have written a nice little hack +called IOpatch. This program SetFunction()s the exec OpenDevice call. The +user puts this program in his startup-sequence, or otherwise invokes it, +before he runs his application program. This patch will make a small window +appear, whenever OpenDevice() is called, with a choice of units; 0-4. Unit 0 +will select the internal serial or parallel port, and units 1-4 will select +one of the newser.device or eightbit.device units. Please note that the +names of both drivers have been selected to be the same length as the names +of the original devices. This has been done to facilitate file-zapping as a +last resort. Of course, software may be written for the newser.device or +eightbit.device initially. + +A suite of simple test programs to check the I/O Expansion Board Hardware can +save you hours of hardware debugging time. Chip selects, as well as read and +write signals, are generated for all chips. One program simulates a very +simple character-oriented terminal program for checking an ACIA. + +A nice little program to drive a real-time clock-calendar is also available. +The clock hardware, based on the OKI MSM5832, is capable of generating +interrupts at 1024 hz, once per second, once per minute, or hourly. Software +to take advantage of this feature is left as an exercize for the student. + + +Credits +======= +I would like to thank Dan Babcock for the many hours he put in writing and +debugging the serial device driver. This was surely one of the most +difficult parts of this project. Paul Coward, of DigiSoft, provided us with +the parallel device driver, no small achievement either. Jim Cooper, of The +Software Distillery, made many helpful suggestions concerning software +issues, and especially DOS compatibility, and helped us get up to speed. +Bill Seymour provided invaluable help in layout and pre-production of the +PCBs, and also provided design help. Finally, this task was made easier by +the help and encouragment of Doug Sears and Grace Lavin. + + +Conclusion +========== +I think this is a pretty neat little hack. I also feel that it is simple +enough that if I hadn't come up with it, someone else would have. It +provides some much-needed additional I/O for the Amiga 1000 or 2000 at a +rock-bottom price.

Feel free to send me your comments. + At the present time this design does not support DMA or AUTOCONFIG'ing. + The "net-list" also includes parts for an optional 2 meg. memory add-on. + At this time the memory does not work! I have to check my equations and + analize that section of the board. The memory section does NOT upset the + AMIGA or the SCSI interface. There are no special considerations when + building the board. It runs off of the AMIGA's power supply and plugs + into the EXPANSION PORT . + The board uses 1 special part: NCR53C80 (sorry about that.) + I used it because it handles most of the SCSI interface, and eliminates + alot of "LS" chips. (The NCR53C80 is the CMOS version of the SCSI + controller used by APPLE and most other venders!) + + Building the board + +WARNING ! This board plugs into the expansion port! That port is directly +connected to the CPU and other chips in your AMIGA. Care must be taken so +as not to short anything to +5v or gnd as that may DESTROY your AMIGA. + The circuit and design concepts are sound, but YOU are in control of +your machines destiny. This project is NOT for the casual hacker. +REMEMBER, Don't yell at me if you break your machine!!! + + On the lighter side, my board worked the first time it was turned on. +It must be easy if I didn't make any errors... Just take your time and all +will be OK ! + + +After deciding where to locate all of the parts, use the "net-list" to +wire it. I suggest doing all of the wiring to the board before installing +the IC's. Remember that the NCR53C80 is sensitive to static, so be careful. +Also before installing IC's it is a good practice to check the power and +gruond pins on all chip sockets. + + PARTS LIST + PART# LOC USE + 74LS688 .......................

I don't plan to do this until I get the +important work done (DRAM & CLOCK). It is not hard to use this way, +you have to "install" the board anyway. The advantage of AUTOCONFIG +is that the AMIGA decides where in the memory the board resides. +This is not a problem since it is the only board in the system..... + The PAL (Z5) is used to control the DRAM. It is not needed at this point +so don"t worry about it. +The 'LS139 is used to decode addresses intofour 16K blocks. + 1: $800000 is the NCR53C80 + 2: $801000 is the PSEUDO DMA + 3: $802000 is for the CLOCK (not done yet) + 4: $803000 is not used at this point + It may seem like alot of wasted memory but the AMIGA can only +AUTOCONFIG in 64K blocks. + The second half of the 'LS139 is used to convert the R/W signal +of the 680x0 to the read & write lines used by the NCR53C80. + Z4 -the 7406 will be used as the interrupt driver. I want to +use INT2* for the NCR's interrupts and INT6* for the DRQ*. DON'T +install the 7406 untill the real driver is available. Your AMIGA +won't like getting interrupted by the NCR53C80! + That is all there is to the SCSI interface. (Atleast for now) +It is possible to add DMA capibilities to the board but lets get the +thing up and running first! + + + READING THE "NET-LIST" + The schematic "AMSCSI" was made on an IBM XT using Future-Net software. +I wish that someone had a good schmatic capture pgm for the AMIGA ! +Anyway to wire a board from the "net-list" ignore the "Path Ref" & + the "Symbol Ref" cols. + + EXAMPLE: Part of the net-list + +Signal Desc Path Ref Circuit Designator Symbol Ref Pin +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + IGNORE PART# IGNORE PIN # + THIS THIS + COL.

EASY ISN'T IT. + + It is recommended that the SCSI bus be terminated with 220 ohm / 330 ohm +resistors. These are not included on the "net-list". Every SCSI signal +should have a 220 ohm resistor to +5v, and a 330 ohm resistor to gnd. + You might want to try it without the terminators, but leave room for them +just to be safe.......... + + When I get a chance I will make a schematic on Dpaint. + +I have included two BASIC programs that will help you test your board. + 1: SCSIMon - a small monitor that constantly reads the NCR53C80 + and desplays the reg.s in HEX + 2: SCSIdvr - a very crude program that "PEEKS & POKES" the + SCSI .

The result was a five-page, single- + spaced, typed report which documented, though not always + accurately, a wide sweep of the journalist's past, and + was detailed to the point of disclosing his father's + income before his retirement." + +Who am I? If I don't post, you might not even know I exist. +I could be on your local Police Department, or an agent +working with the IRS, or some federal law-enforcement +agency. I could be a member of some fanatical hate group, +or criminal organization.

There's +nothing to worry about. + +Is there? + + * * * * * + + WHAT'S ALL THIS BROUHAHA? + ------------------------- + + Stupidity is evil waiting to happen. [Clay Bond] + + +Not long ago in Fidonet's BCSNET echo (the Boston Computer +Society's national conference), the following was posted by +the conference moderator to a user calling himself "Captain +Kirk": + + "May we ask dear Captain Kirk that it would be very + polite if you could use your real name in an echomail + conference? This particular message area is shared + with BBS's all across the country and everyone else is + using their real name. It is only common courtesy to + do so in an echomail conference." + +One of us (mkj) responded with a post questioning that +policy. Soon the conference had erupted into a heated +debate! Although mkj had worried that the subject might be +dismissed as trivial, it apparently touched a nerve. It +brought forth debate over issues and perceptions central to +computer communications in general, and it revealed profound +disparities in fundamental values and assumptions among +participants. + +This article is a response to that debate, and to the +prevailing negative attitudes regarding the use of handles. +Handles seem to have a bad reputation. Their use is +strangely unpopular, and frequently forbidden by network +authorities. Many people seem to feel that handles are rude +or dishonest, or that anyone wishing to conceal his or her +identity must be up to no good. It is the primary purpose +of this article to dispel such prejudices. + +Let us make one thing perfectly clear here at the outset: We +do NOT challenge the need or the right of sysops to know the +identities of their users! But we do believe that a sysop +who collects user names has a serious responsibility to +protect that information. This means making sure that no +one has access to the data without a legal warrant, and it +certainly means not pressuring users to broadcast their real +names in widespread public forums such as conferences. + + * * * * * + + SO YOU WANT TO BE A STAR? + ------------------------- + + John Lennon died for our sins. [anonymous] + + +Andy Warhol said that "In the future, everyone will be +famous for fifteen minutes". The computer nets, more than +any other medium, lend credibility to this prediction. A +network conference may span the globe more completely than +even satellite TV, yet be open to anyone who can afford the +simplest computer and modem. Through our participation in +conferencing, each of us becomes, if only briefly, a public +figure of sorts -- often without realizing it, and without +any contemplation of the implications and possible +consequences. + +Brian Reid (reid@decwrl.DEC.COM) conducts and distributes +periodic surveys of Usenet conference readership. His +statistical results for the end of 1991 show that of the +1,459 conferences which currently make up Usenet, more than +fifty percent have over 20,000 readers apiece; the most +popular conferences are each seen by about 200,000 readers! +Mr. Reid's estimate of total Usenet readership is nearly TWO +MILLION people. + +Note that Mr. Reid's numbers are for Usenet only; they do +not include any information on other large public nets such +as RIME (PC-Relaynet), Fido, or dozens of others, nor do +they take into account thousands of private networks which +may have indirect public network connections. The total +number of users with access to public networks is unknown, +but informed estimates range to the tens of millions, and +the number keeps growing at an amazing pace -- in fact, the +rate of growth of this medium may be greater than any other +communications medium in history. + +The special problems and risks which arise when one deals +with a large public audience are something about which most +computer users have little or no experience or +understanding. Until recently, those of us involved in +computer conferencing have comprised a small and rather +elite community. The explosion in network participation is +catching us all a little unprepared. + +Among media professionals and celebrities, on the other +hand, the risks of conducting one's business in front of a +public audience are all too familiar. If the size of one's +audience becomes sufficiently large, one must assume that +examples of virtually every personality type will be +included: police and other agents of various governments, +terrorists, murderers, rapists, religious fanatics, the +mentally ill, robbers and con artists, et al ad infinitum. +It must also be assumed that almost anything you do, no +matter how innocuous, could inspire at least one person, +somewhere, to harbor ill will toward you. + +The near-fatal stabbing of actress Theresa Saldana is a case +in point. As she was walking to her car one morning near her +West Hollywood apartment, a voice behind her asked, "Are you +Theresa Saldana?"; when she turned to answer, a man she had +never seen before pulled out a kitchen knife and stabbed her +repeatedly. + +After her lengthy and painful recovery, she wrote a book on +the experience ("Beyond Survival", 1986). In that book she +wrote: + + + [pg 12] "... Detective Kalas informed me that the + assailant, whom he described as a Scottish drifter, had + fixated upon me after seeing me in films." + + [pg 28] "... it was through my work as an actress that + the attacker had fixated on me. Naturally, this made + me consider getting out of show business ..." + + [pg 34] "For security, I adopted an alias and became + 'Alicia Michaels.' ... during the months that followed + I grew so accustomed to it that, to this day, I still + answer reflexively when someone calls the name Alicia!" + +Or consider the fate of Denver radio talk show host Alan +Berg, who in 1984 died outside his home in a hail of +gunfire. Police believe he was the victim of a local neo- +nazi group who didn't like his politics. + +We are reminded of the murders of John Lennon and Rebecca +Shaffer; the Reagan/Hinckley/Foster incident; and a long +string of other "celebrity attacks" of all sorts, including +such bizarre events as the occupation of David Letterman's +home by a strange woman who claimed to be his wife! There is +probably no one in public life who doesn't receive at least +the occassional threatening letter. + +Of course, ordinary participants in network conferencing may +never attract quite the attention that other types of +celebrities attract. But consider the following, rather less +apocalyptic scenarios: + + -- On Friday night you post a message to a public + conference defending an unpopular or controversial + viewpoint. On Monday morning your biggest client + cancels a major contract. Or you are kept up all + night by repeated telephone calls from someone + demanding that you "stop killing babies"! + + -- You buy your teenage son or daughter a computer and + modem. Sometime later you find your lawn littered + with beer bottles and dug up with tire marks, or + your home vandalized or burglarized. + + -- One day you are nominated to the Supreme Court. Who + are all these strange people on TV claiming to be + your friends? How did that fellow know your position + on abortion? Your taste in GIFs? + +Celebrities and other professional media personalities +accept the risks and sacrifices of notoriety, along with the +benefits, as part of their chosen careers. Should computer +conference participants be expected to do the same? And who +should be making these decisions? + + * * * * * + + OTHER MEDIA + ----------- + + When thou art at Rome, do as they do at Rome [Cervantes] + + +Older media seem to address the problems of privacy very +differently than computer media, at least so far. We are +not aware of ANY medium or publication, apart from computer +conferencing, where amateur or even most professional +participants are required to expose their true names against +their will. Even celebrities frequently use "stage names", +and protect their addresses and phone numbers as best they +can. + +When a medium caters specifically to the general public, +participants are typically given even greater opportunities +to protect their privacy. Television talk shows have been +known to go so far as to employ silhouetting and electronic +alteration of voices to protect the identities of guests, +and audience members who participate are certainly not +required to state their full names before speaking. + +The traditional medium most analogous to computer +conferencing may be talk radio. Like conferencing, talk +radio is a group discussion and debate medium oriented +toward controversy, where emotions can run high. Programs +often center around a specific topic, and are always run by +a "host" whose role seems analogous in many respects to that +of a conference moderator. It is therefore worth noting +that in talk radio generally, policy seems to be that +callers are identified on the air only by their first names +(unless of course they volunteer more). + +Finally, of course, authors have published under "pen names" +since the dawn of publishing, and newspapers and magazines +frequently publish letters to the editor with "name and +address withheld by request" as the signature line. Even +founding fathers Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John +Jay, in authoring the seminal Federalist Papers in 1787 for +publication in the Letters columns of various New York City +newspapers, concealed their identities behind the now-famous +psuedonym "Publius". + +What would you think if someone called a radio talk show +demanding to know the identity of a previous caller? Such a +demand would undoubtedly be seen as menacing and +inappropriate in that context. Yet that same demand seems +to arise without much challenge each time a handle shows up +in a computer conference. The authors of this article feel +that such demands should always be looked upon as +suspicious, and that it would be beneficial for moderators +to take upon themselves the responsibility of making sure +that besieged handle-users are aware of their right to +refuse such inappropriate demands. + +It is reasonable to assume that privacy policies in +traditional media are the result of hard-won wisdom gained +from long experience. Are we so arrogant that we cannot +learn from others? It is not hard to imagine the sorts of +problems and experiences which shaped these policies in the +old media. Will we have to wait for similar problems to +occur on the computer networks before we learn? + + * * * * * + + PRIVACY AND SURVEILLANCE + ------------------------ + + In an effort to identify people who fail to file tax + returns, the Internal Revenue Service is matching + its files against available lists of names and + addresses of U.S. citizens who have purchased + computers for home use.

Viles] + + +Most of us have been brought up to be grateful for the fact +that we live in a nation where freedom is sacred. In other +countries, we are told as children, people are afraid to +speak their minds for fear they are being watched. Thank +God we live in America! + +It would surprise most of us to learn that America is +currently among the premiere surveillance nations in the +world, but such, sadly, is indeed the case. Our leadership +in technology has helped the U.S. government to amass as +much information on its citizens as almost any other nation +in history, totalitarian or otherwise. And to make matters +worse, a consumer surveillance behemoth has sprung up +consisting of huge private data-collection agencies which +cater to business. + +As Evan Hendricks, editor of "Privacy Times" (a Washington +D.C.-based newsletter) has put it: "You go through life +dropping bits and pieces of information about yourself +everywhere. Most people don't realize there are big vacuum +cleaners out there sucking it all up." [Wall Street +Journal, March 14, 1991]. + +To get an idea of how much of your privacy has already been +lost, consider the bits and pieces of information about +yourself which are already available to investigators, and +how thoroughly someone might come to know you by these clues +alone. + +A person's lifestyle and personality are largely described, +for example, by his or her purchases and expenses; from your +checking account records -- which banks are required by law +to keep and make available to government investigators -- a +substantial portrait of your life will emerge. Credit card +records may reveal much of the same information, and can +also be used to track your movements. (In a recent case, +"missing" Massachusetts State Representative Timothy O'Leary +was tracked by credit-card transactions as he fled across +the country, and his movements were reported on the nightly +news!) + +Then there are your school records, which include IQ and +other test results, comments on your "socialization" by +teachers and others, and may reveal family finances in great +detail. Employment and tax records reveal your present +income, as well as personal comments by employers and co- +workers. Your properties are another public record of your +income and lifestyle, and possibly your social status as +well. Telephone billing records reveal your personal and +business associations in more detail. Insurance records +reveal personal and family health histories and treatments. + +All of this information is commonly accessed by government +and private or corporate investigators. And this list is +far from exhaustive! + +Now consider how easily the computer networks lend +themselves to even further erosions of personal privacy. The +actual contents of our mail and telephone traffic have up to +now been subjected to deliberate scrutiny only under +extraordinary conditions. This built-in safety is due +primarily to the difficulty and expense of conducting +surveillance in these media, which usually requires extended +human intervention. But in the medium of computer +communications, most surveillance can be conducted using +automated monitoring techniques. Tools currently available +make it possible and even cost-effective for government and +other interests to monitor virtually everything which +happens here. + +Why would anyone want to monitor network users? It is well +documented that, throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the FBI and +other agencies of government, in operations such as the +infamous COINTELPRO among others, spent a great deal of time +and effort collecting vast lists of names. As Computer +Underground Digest moderators Jim Thomas and Gordon Meyer +recalled in a recent commentary (CuD #3.42): + + "A 1977 class action suit against the Michigan State + Police learned, through FOIA requests, that state and + federal agents would peruse letters to the editor of + newspapers and collect clippings of those whose politics + they did not like. These news clippings became the basis + of files on those persons that found there way into the + hands of other agencies and employers." + +To get onto one of these government "enemies" lists, you +often needed to do nothing more than telephone an +organization under surveillance, or subscribe to the "wrong" +types of magazines and newspapers. Groups engaged in +political activism, including environmental and women's +rights organizations, were commonly infiltrated. The sort +of investigative reporting which uncovered these lists and +surveillances back in the '60s and '70s is now rare, but +there is little reason to assume that such activities have +ceased or even slowed. In fact, progressive computerization +of local police LEIU activities (Law Enforcement +Intelligence Units, commonly known as "red squads") suggests +that such activities may have greatly increased. + +Within the realm of computer conferencing especially, there +is ample reason to believe that systematic monitoring is +being conducted by government and law-enforcement +organizations, and perhaps by other hostile interests as +well. In a recent issue of Telecom Digest +(comp.dcom.telecom), Craig Neidorf (knight@EFF.ORG) reported +on the results of a recent Freedom of Information Act +request for documents from the Secret Service: + + " ... The documents also show that the Secret Service + established a computer database to keep track of + suspected computer hackers. This database contains + records of names, aliases, addresses, phone numbers, + known associates, a list of activities, and various + [conference postings] associated with each individual." + +But the privacy issues which surround computer +communications go far beyond the collection of user lists. +Both government and industry have long pursued the elusive +grail of personality profiling on citizens and consumers. Up +to now, such ambitions have been restrained by the practical +difficulty and expense of collecting and analyzing large +amounts of information on large numbers of citizens. But +computer communications, more than any other technology, +seems to hold out the promise that this unholy grail may +finally be in sight. + +To coin a phrase, never has so much been known by so few +about so many. The information commonly available to +government and industry investi-gators today is sufficient +to make reliable predictions about our personalities, +health, politics, future behavior, our vulnerabilities, +perhaps even about our innermost thoughts and feelings. The +privacy we all take for granted is, in fact, largely an +illusion; it no longer exists in most walks of life. If we +wish to preserve even the most basic minimum of personal +privacy, it seems clear that we need to take far better care +on the networks than we have taken elsewhere. + + * * * * * + + FREEDOM + ------- + + Human beings are the only species with a history. + Whether they also have a future is not so obvious. + The answer will lie in the prospects for popular + movements, with firm roots among all sectors of the + population, dedicated to values that are suppressed + or driven to the margins within the existing social + and political order... + [Noam Chomsky] + + +In your day-to-day social interactions, as you deal with +employers, clients, public officials, friends, acquaintances +and total strangers, how often do you feel you can really +speak freely? How comfortable are you discussing +controversial issues such as religion, taxes, politics, +racism, sexuality, abortion or AIDS, for example? Would you +consider it appropriate or wise to express an honest opinion +on such an issue to your boss, or a client? To your +neighbors? + +Most of us confine such candid discussions to certain +"trusted" social contexts, such as when we are among our +closest friends. But when you post to a network conference, +your boss, your clients, and your neighbors may very well +read what you post -- if they are not on the nets today, +they probably will be soon, as will nearly everyone. + +If we have to consider each post's possible impact on our +social and professional reputations, on our job security and +income, on our family's acceptance and safety in the +community, it could be reckless indeed to express ourselves +freely on the nets. Yet conferences are often geared to +controversy, and inhibitions on the free expression of +opinions can reduce traffic to a trickle, killing off an +important conference topic or distorting a valuable sampling +of public opinion. + +More important still is the role computer networks are +beginning to play in the free and open dissemination of news +and information. Democracy is crippled if dissent and +diversity in the media are compromised; yet even here in the +U.S., where a "free press" is a cherished tradition, the +bulk of all the media is owned by a small (and ever- +shrinking) number of corporations, whose relatively narrow +culture, interests and perspec-tives largely shape the +public perception. + +Computer communication, on the other hand, is by its nature +very difficult to control or shape. Its resources are +scattered; when one BBS goes bust (or is busted!), three +others spring up in its place. The natural resiliency of +computer communications (and other new, decentral-ized +information technologies such as fax, consumer camcorders +and cheap satellite links) is giving rise to a new brand of +global "guerrilla journalism" which includes everyone, and +defies efforts at suppression. + +The power and value of this new journalistic freedom has +recently shown itself during the Gulf War, and throughout +Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, as well as within the +U.S. Just think of the depth and detail of information +available on the nets regarding the Secret Service's recent +"Operation Sundevil" and associated activities, compared to +the grossly distorted, blatantly propagandistic coverage of +those same activities given to the general public through +the traditional media. + +Historically, established power and wealth have seldom been +disposed to tolerate uncontrolled media, and recent events +in this country and elsewhere show that computer media are +sometimes seen as threats to established interests as well. +To understand the role of handles in this context, it is +useful to note the flurries of anti-handle sentiment which +have arisen in the wake of crackdowns such as Sundevil, or +the Tom Tcimpidis raid in the early 1980s. Although few +charges and fewer convictions have typically resulted from +such operations, one might be tempted to speculate that the +real purposes -- to terrorize the nets and chill freedoms of +speech and assembly thereon -- have been achieved. + +In this way, sysops and moderators become unwitting +accomplices in the supression of freedom on the networks. +When real name requirements are instituted, anyone who fears +retaliation of any sort, by any group, will have to fear +participation in the nets; hence content is effectively +controlled. This consideration becomes especially important +as the nets expand into even more violent and repressive +countries outside the U.S. + +We must decide whether freedom of information and open +public discussion are in fact among the goals of network +conferencing, and if so, whether handles have a role in +achieving these goals. As access to the networks grows, we +have a rare opportunity to frustrate the efforts of +governments and corporations to control the public mind! In +this way above all others, computers may have the potential +to shape the future of all mankind for the better. + + * * * * * + + A CALL TO ACTION + ---------------- + + + The move to electronic communication may be a turning + point that history will remember. Just as in + seventeenth and eighteenth century Great Britain and + America a few tracts and acts set precedents for + print by which we live today, so what we think and do + today may frame the information system for a + substantial period in the future. + [Ithiel de Sola Pool, "Technologies of Freedom", 1983] + + +There was a time when anybody with some gear and a few +batteries could become a radio broadcaster -- no license +required. There was a time when anyone with a sense of +adventure could buy a plane, and maybe get a contract to +carry mail. Those early technological pioneers were +probably unable to imagine the world as it is today, but +their influence is strongly felt in current laws, +regulations and policies with roots in the traditions and +philosophies they founded and shaped. + +Today the new pioneers are knitting the world together with +computers, and the world is changing faster than ever. Law +and ethics are scrambling to keep up. How far will this +growth take us? No one can say for sure. But you don't +need a crystal ball to see that computer communications has +the potential to encompass and surpass all the functionality +of prior media -- print, post, telegraph, telephone, radio +and television -- and more. It seems reasonable to assume +that computer communications will be at least as ubiquitous +and important in the lives of our grandchildren as all the +older media have been in ours. + +It will be a world whose outlines we can now make out only +dimly. But the foundations of that world are being built +today by those of us exploring and homesteading on the +electronic frontier. We need to look hard at what it will +take to survive in the information age. + +In this article we have attempted to show, for one very +narrow issue, what some of the stakes may be in this future- +building game. But the risks associated with exposing your +name in a computer conference are not well defined, and +various people will no doubt assess the importance of these +risks differently. After all, most of us take risks every +day which are probably greater than the risks associated +with conferencing. We drive on the expressway. We eat +sushi. To some people, the risks of conferencing may seem +terrifying; to others, insignificant. + +But let us not get side-tracked into unresolvable arguments +on the matter. The real issue here is not how dangerous +conferencing may or may not be; it is whether you and I will +be able to make our own decisions, and protect ourselves (or +not) as we see fit. The obvious answer is that users must +exercise their collective power to advance their own +interests, and to pressure sysops and moderators to become +more sensitive to user concerns. + +To help in that effort, we would like to recommend the +following guidelines for user action: + + -- Bear in mind John Perry Barlow's observation that + "Liberties are preserved by using them". Let your + sysop know that you would prefer to be using a + handle, and use one wherever you can. + + -- Try to support boards and conferences which allow + handles, and avoid those which don't. + + -- When using a handle, BEHAVE RESPONSIBLY! There will + always be irresponsible users on the nets, and they + will always use handles. It is important for the + rest of us to fight common anti-handle prejudices by + showing that handles are NOT always the mark of an + irresponsible user! + + -- Educate others about the importance of handles (but + NEVER argue or flame anyone about it). + +To sysops and moderators: We ask you to bear in mind that +authority is often used best where it is used least. Grant +users the right to engage in any harmless and responsible +behaviors they choose. Protect your interests in ways which +tread as lightly as possible upon the interests of others. +The liberties you preserve may be your own! + +In building the computer forums of today, we are building +the social fabric of tomorrow. If we wish to preserve the +free and open atmosphere which has made computer networking +a powerful force, while at the same time taking care against +the risks inherent in such a force, handles seem to be a +remarkably harmless, entertaining and effective tool to help +us.

By using this program, you will +be allowed to draw with your keyboard or mouse, on the background picture +where and how you want the Scrolling text to appear. There are four parts +to this program. + The First part to this program, is the request for the .CRD file +which you have created, or one that has been provided with THG Intro Maker. +This will tell the program how big your font that you wish to scroll +actually is. The .CRD files can be created with the MEGAFONT.EXE program. + The Second part to the Anywhere Scroller is a feature that comes in +quite handy for tricky scrolling effects. After figuring how out big your +external font will be, the ANYWhere scroller will switch to 80x50 mode, and +display the number of pixels vertically. Here, the first pixel will be +a fixed point or reference point for the scroller. The next course of +action should be you using the keypad, or arrow keys to place each pixel +how you want it to scroll repectively to the first pixel. To switch +pixels, use the +/- keys. You can save these patterns in BWF files which +mean Brush Warping File. Use L and S to Load the Brush Warp File or Save +the Brush Warp File respectively. If you wish to move the 1st pixel so +you can move the pixels above or along side the first pixel, use the +I-J-K-M buttons to move the screen accordingly so you can have enough +room to move each pixel. Don't forget to save the BWF file if you wish +to re-use this pattern for another scroll. Press Q or ESC to exit +this part. It does not save this automatically, you must use the +Save command. + The Third part of the program, is a request for the background +picture support. Give the extension of your background picture according +to which graphics compression is used. It will decompact the picture and +display it throwing you into the next part of the program. + The heart of the Anywhere scroller is the next part. This will +show you a cursor that looks like you have entered according to the offsets +you have entered in the last second part of the program. Here, you may +either hit the Space Bar for PenUP/ PenDOWN toggle and the keypad for +moving the cursor around. Remember, when the Pen is DOWN, it is recording +where you are putting the pixels. That is the order they will show up in +when it goes to scroll it. You can also use the Mouse and Mouse buttons to +draw on the screen. Although, there is no mouse support when the keyboard +PenUP/PenDOWN key has been toggled, all you have to do is to place the +cursor where you want a slice of your scroll to go. Press the left mouse +button. The Right mouse button exits to the next part of the program, as +well does ESC, and Q. If you hold down the Left mouse button and move the +cursor, it will skip pixels. So go SLOWLY. THis is because the Mouse button +routine that was written is too fast for it. It would record several pixels +by just a quick press of the button.

Plaintiff SYSTEM ENHANCEMENT ASSOCIATES, INC. + hereinafter Plaintiff or SEA, is a corporation of the State + of New Jersey having a place of business at 21 New Street, + Wayne, NJ 07470. Plaintiff is engaged in the business of + developing and licensing others to use computer programs and + software. + + 2. Defendant PKWARE, INC. is a corporation of + the State of Wisconsin. Upon information and belief, Defen- + dants are engaged in the business of licensing others to use + computer programs and software, and do business in the State + of Wisconsin and in this District. Defendants maintain a + place of business at 7032 Ardara Avenue, Glendale, WI 53209. + + 3. Defendant Phillip W. Katz ("Katz"), AKA Phil + Katz, is an officer and a director of Defendant PKWARE. + Defendant Katz resides in the State of Wisconsin and in this + District. All acts by Defendant PKWARE complained of herein + were made with full knowledge and under the specific direction + and control of Defendant Katz. + + 4. This COMPLAINT sets forth causes of action for + copyright infringement under 17 USC 101, et seq and trade- + mark infringement and unfair competition under the Lanham + Act, 15 USC 1051, et seq and under common law. + + 5. This Court has original jurisdiction over the + Copyright and Lanham Act claims pursuant to 28 USC 1338(a) + and, with respect to the Lanham Act claims, additionally + under 15 USC 1121, and over the other claims under the + doctrine of pendant jurisdiction. This Court further has + jurisdiction over the other claims pursuant to both 28 USC + 1338(b), and because this civil action is between citizens + of different States and the matter in controversy exceeds + the sum or value of $10,000, 28 USC 1332(a)(1). + + 6.

This Court has jurisdiction over the subject + matter in controversy and the parties to this action. Venue + is proper as to the Defendants, who reside or may be found + in this District. + + COUNT I: COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT + + 8. Prior to October 1986, Plaintiff, who was then + and ever since has been a citizen of the United States and + the State of New Jersey, created and wrote an original work, + namely a computer program, entitled "ARC File Archive Utility + Version 5.20", and additionally, prior to April 1987, created + and wrote a revised version of such work, entitled "ARC File + Archive Utility Version 5.21" (hereinafter collectively + referred to as the "ARC programs"). + + 9. Each of the ARC programs contains a large + amount of material wholly original with Plaintiff and is + copyrightable subject matter under the laws of the United + States. + + 10. At all times relevant to this action, Plaintiff + complied in all respects with the Copyright Act of 1976 and + all other laws governing Copyright, and secured the exclusive + rights and privileges in and to the Copyrights to the ARC + programs. + + 11. Plaintiff has received from the Register of + Copyrights Certificates of Registration, dated and identified + as follows: + + a. February 16, 1988, TX2-242-311; and + b. March 30, 1988, TX2-264-701 + + for, respectively, "ARC File Archive Utility Version 5.20" + and "ARC File Archive Utility Version 5.21". + + 12. At all times relevant to this action, Plaintiff + has been and is the sole proprietor of all rights, title and + interest in and to the Copyrights in the ARC programs. + + 13. Each copy of the copyrighted ARC programs + published by Plaintiff and all copies made by Plaintiff or + under its authority had associated therewith a restrictive + license prohibiting copying any ARC programs for purposes of + commercial exploitation. + + 14. After October 1986 and April 1987, Defendants, + jointly and severally, infringed Plaintiff's Copyrights by + publishing, placing on the market and commercially exploiting + works entitled "PKARC FAST! Archive Create/Update Utility + Version 3.5 04-27-87" and "PKXARC FAST! Archive Extract + Utility Version 3.5 04-27-87" (the "infringing works") which + were copied largely from Plaintiff's copyrighted works "ARC + File Utility Version 5.20" and "ARC File Utility Version + 5.21". + + 15. Continuously since about at least as early as + April 27, 1987, Defendants have, to Plaintiff's irreparable + damage, been publishing, licensing and selling, and otherwise + making commercial exploitation of the infringing works, + utilizing the same channels of commerce as Plaintiff, adver- + tising in the same journals (one example of which is hereto + attached as Plaintiff's Exhibit 10) and marketing such + infringing works in the same manner as Plaintiff. + + 16. Defendants' infringing works were published + and commercially exploited without license or authorization + by Plaintiff. + + 17. True copies of Plaintiff's copyrighted works, + and the respective Registrations therefor, are hereto attached + as Plaintiff's Exhibits 1 through 4, respectively. + + 18. Copies of documentation for Defendants' + infringing works are hereto attached as Plaintiff's Exhibits + 5 and 6, respectively. On information and belief, Plaintiff's + Exhibits 5 and 6 are true copies of works of Defendants + published under the authority or license of Defendants, + jointly and severally, for which Defendants bear responsi- + bility. + + 19. Plaintiff, by its Attorney, notified Defendants + that Defendants have infringed and are infringing Plaintiff's + copyrights by a US Postal Service Certified Mail letter dated + December 23, 1987. True copies of said notice letter and + its Return Receipt are hereto attached as Plaintiff's Exhibits + 7 and 8, respectively. + + 20. Defendants, by their Attorneys, responded by + letter, dated January 8, 1988, to Plaintiff's Attorney denying + infringement. A true copy of Defendants' Attorneys' letter + is attached hereto as Plaintiff's Exhibit 9. + + 21. At all times here relevant Defendants were + aware of Plaintiff's copyrights in the ARC programs. + + 22. Notwithstanding knowledge of Plaintiff's + copyrights and specific notice of infringement, Defendants + have continued to infringe Plaintiff's copyrights. + + 23. Defendants did willfully and deliberately + copy Plaintiff's ARC programs and infringe Plaintiff's copy- + rights. + + COUNT II: VIOLATIONS OF THE LANHAM ACT + + 24. Plaintiff repeats and realleges the averments + and allegations contained in numbered paragraphs hereinabove + as though fully set forth here. + + 25. Plaintiff has extensively used and promoted + intrastate and interstate commerce the trademark "ARC" in + connection with computer programs and software. Exemplary + uses of Plaintiff's ARC trademark is shown in Exhibits 1 and + 3. Plaintiff has continuously used its ARC trademark on its + goods shipped throughout the United States and the world. + The ARC trademark has come to be recognized as identifying + Plaintiff as the source of its products and symbolizes + valuable goodwill belonging to Plaintiff. Such recognition + and goodwill arose and accrued prior to the acts complained + of herein. + + 26. Due the very high level of originality and + quality of Plaintiff's File Archive Utility programs, and + their distribution methods and marketing, Plaintiff and its + ARC programs have become recognized as the "standard" in + the personal computer industry. An example of such recognition + is hereto attached as Plaintiff's Exhibit 11. + + 27. Plaintiff has expended significant time and + money in promoting and advertising its File Archive Utility + ARC programs, and the trademark ARC has become associated + with Plaintiff as denoting the source or origin of high + quality File Archive Utility programs. In the personal + computer market and to the users of such computers, the mark + ARC denotes Plaintiff as the source or origin of such + programs. In this regard, an article from Dr. Dobbs Journal, + March 1987, pp 26-28, 30 is hereto attached as Plaintiff's + Exhibit 12. + + 28. Defendants do not have, nor have ever had, any + right or authorization to use Plaintiff's ARC trademark. + + 29. Defendants have prominently used and are using + marks confusingly similar to Plaintiff's ARC trademark, to + wit, PKARC and PKXARC. The infringing marks are shown as + used by Defendant in Plaintiff's Exhibits 5, 6 and 13. + + 30. Defendants have used and continue to use the + marks PKARC and PKXARC in connection with goods functionally + identical to Plaintiff's, in commerce and in the same channels + of trade as Plaintiff's ARC programs. Defendants use such + marks on, and in connection with publishing, distributing, + advertising and marketing throughout the United States, and + in this district, File Archive Utility programs. + + 31. Defendants unauthorized use of PKARC and + PKXARC is likely to cause confusion, or to cause mistake + or to deceive prospective acquirers of such goods into + believing that the products of Defendants originated with or + under the sponsorship or license of Plaintiff. + + 32. Defendants, by improper use of Plaintiff's + trademark ARC, have falsely described or represented the + Defendants' PKARC and PKXARC programs as the goods of + Plaintiff and have, by causing such products to enter into + commerce, created a tendency for such false description or + representation to be understood as having an origin or + sponsorship or license of Plaintiff, thereby diverting income + from Plaintiff to Defendants. Plaintiff has been, is being + and is likely to be damaged by the use by Defendants of the + aforesaid false description or representation. + + 33. Defendant acts are in violation of Section + 43(a) of the Lanham Act, 15 USC 1125(a). + + 34. At all times relevant hereto, Defendants were + aware of Plaintiff's use of the ARC trademark. + + 35. Upon information and belief, Defendants adopted + the PKARC and PKXARC marks to portray to potential consumers + a relationship between Defendant's products and Plaintiff's + products. + + 36. Upon information and belief, all Defendant's + acts complained of herein were done with the intent to cause + confusion among customers as to an affiliation between + Defendants and Plaintiff and to capitalize improperly on the + goodwill accruing to Plaintiff. + + COUNT III: TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT; UNFAIR COMPETITION + + 37. Plaintiff repeats and realleges the averments + and allegations contained in the numbered paragraphs herein + above as though fully set forth here. + + 38. Defendants are, by the acts complained of + herein, infringing on Plaintiff's trademark rights, and + engaging in unfair trade practices and unfair competition, + all in violation of the common law of the State of Wisconsin. + + COUNT IV: COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT AND UNFAIR COMPETITION + + 39. Plaintiff repeats and realleges the averments + and allegations contained in numbered paragraphs hereinabove + as though fully set forth here. + + 40. Defendants have, in addition to the acts as + alleged above, substantially copied and plagiarized the entire + appearance and user interface and screens which result when + a computer user interacts with or uses Plaintiff's ARC + programs and the manner in which the Plaintiff's ARC programs + interface with and interact with the computer user, with the + specific intent to create a belief with the consumer of a + relationship between Defendants' products and Plaintiff's + products. (A copy of Defendants' advertising, PKWARE, INC. + advertisement, PC TECH JOURNAL, October 1987, p 220, is + hereto attached as Plaintiff's Exhibit 14.) + + 41. Defendants' acts as heretofore alleged + constitute infringement of Plaintiff's Copyrights and unfair + trade practices and unfair competition to the irreparable + damage of Plaintiff. + + 42. Defendants' acts, as alleged herein and above, + have been willful and deliberate intending to harm and damage + Plaintiff and its business. + + WHEREFORE PLAINTIFF DEMANDS JUDGMENT AS FOLLOWS: + + (1) Enjoining Defendants, jointly and severally, + and any of their agents, servants or any in active concert + or participation with any of them, temporarily during the + pendency of this action and thereafter permanently from + infringing Plaintiff's copyrights in any manner, and from + publishing, licensing, selling, distributing or marketing or + otherwise disposing of any copies of Defendants' works PKARC + and PKXARC; and from infringing in any manner Plaintiff's + trademark ARC; + + (2) Ordering the Defendants, jointly and severally, + to pay Plaintiff such damages as Plaintiff has sustained in + consequence of Defendants' acts of infringement of Plaintiff's + copyrights, trademark and the unfair trade practices and + unfair competition and to account for: + + (a) all gains, profits and advantages derived + by Defendants and each of them by said trade practices + and unfair competition; and + + (b) all gains, profits and advantages derived + by Defendants and each of them by infringement of + Plaintiff's copyrights or such damages as to the Court + shall appear proper within the provisions of the Copyright + Act of 1976, but not less than the statutory minimums + therein provided; and + + (c) all gains, profits and advantages derived + by Defendants and each of them by infringement of + Plaintiff's trademark or such damages as to the Court + shall appear proper within the provisions of the Lanham + Act; + + (3) Trebling Plaintiff's damages and awarding any + statutory damages at the highest level allowed; + + (4) Ordering Defendants to deliver up to be + impounded during the pendency of this action all copies of + said works entitled PKARC and PKXARC in the possession + or control of Defendants or either of them or any of their + employees, agents, servants, distributors or licensees and + to deliver up for destruction all copies of any infringing + work, as well as all computer media, diskettes, documentation + and any means for making such infringing copies; + + (5) Awarding Plaintiff the costs of this action + and reasonable attorneys' fees against Defendant; + + (6) For such other and further relief as is just. + + + PLAINTIFF'S VERIFICATION: + + Thom L.

Take it for what it's worth. + +I don't know exactly why SEA sued Phil Katz and I don't care. PKARC has never +had a place on my software shelf and it never will. I keep four files handy: +ARC.EXE, ARCE.COM, ARCA.COM and ARCV.COM. ARC.EXE, by SEAware, is the +standard. I don't use it normally but I keep it around for verification in +case there's a problem with a particular archive's format or contents. If +ARC.EXE won't read it, it doesn't get posted anywhere I control. + +The only problem with ARC.EXE it that it's slow, thanks to the porcine +Computer Innovations C86 runtime library. For high speed performance, I turn +to three superb, tiny support utilities from Vern Buerg and Wayne Chin. ARCV +displays archive directories, ARCE extracts files (to disk or stdout) and ARCA +builds new archives from component files (with optional delete afterwards). +They are all small enough to put in a command cache RAMdisk if you want; they +run ultrafast, reliably, and they never waste your time begging for money or +trumpeting their virtues in big banners. ARCE, in particular, is ideal for +handing out to people with ARC files you distribute -- it's small, the syntax +is self evident, and it does just what you want. Plus there's no embarrassing +panhandling for someone else's bank account to spoil the moment. :-) + +Basically I have never felt that the archiver niche (it doesn't deserve to be +called a "market") has needed a shareware clone. The grapevine word for years +was that Katz asked to see some ASM source in a "friendly" way, then dropped +out of sight and emerged in a couple of months with a beg-ware lookalike. +PKARC has been so assiduously hyped over the past two years that the average +user these days has never heard of ARC.EXE itself, let alone the optimized +Buerg/Chin companion programs. It's a damn shame. Of course, the whole +"squash" incompatibility fiasco was just icing on this particular cake. I +haven't got a clue as to whether there is any merit to SEA's case per se, but +nothing can make Katz a hero. Use the freeware programs and pass them on. +That's my advice. + +PS Vern's ARCE reads squashed archives OK as of version 3.1b, released last +year. If anyone would like a copy let me know, although I suspect I'll be +posting it to c.b.i.pc soon anyway. + +Tom Neff +---------- +Category 11, Topic 9 +Message 3 Sat Jul 09, 1988 +HOMCHICK [Paul] at 21:35 EDT + + Article 13524 of comp.sys.ibm.pc: + From: davidsen@steinmetz.ge.com (William E.

There has bee a lot of comment (I +hesitate to call it discussion) on the suit in conferences in FidoNet and the +commercial services. Most of what I have read gave me the impression that the +writer thought about it for at least 30 milliseconds, then flamed! So what's +it really about? + +First, a little history. In CP/M days, there were a number of utilities for +compressing and decompressing files, based on the Huffman coding technique. +The most popular were called SQ and USQ, but there were several variations. +There was at least one utility called LIB, which did not do compression +(remember the total memory space was only 64K, and CP/M used at least 4K of +that), but it did collect files, "squeezed" or otherwise, into a single file +so that they could be treated as a unit. + +When MS-DOS came along, many of the old CP/M utilities were ported. Among +them were several (often incompatible) variations of SQ/USQ. Our own Tom +Jennings ported LIB to DOS. DOS BBS operators then had all the functionality +they had in CP/M; they could compress files, and they could pack them into +"library" files, in separate steps of course. But DOS wasn't memory poor like +CP/M. The climate was right for something "new." Enter Thom Henderson. + +Henderson, one of SEA's principals, borrowing from concepts developed by Brian +Kernigan, wrote a "library" utility which overcame a limitation of LIB by +using a distributed directory instead of a fixed-length directory at the front +of the file. It also had built-in Huffman code compression, eliminating the +need for SQ/USQ. He called it ARC. Almost overnight, it became a standard +among bulletin board operators. + +As ARC developed, it acquired a number of useful features, encryption and LZ +compression, for example, stirring interest in the commercial marketplace. +Thus ARC became one of those products marketed both commercially and as +shareware. + +In an effort to encourage porting ARC to other systems such as Unix, SEA made +the sources for ARC available for download on its bulletin board. These files +bear the SEA copyright notice, and before people may legally do anything with +them other than study them, they need SEA's permission. When someone asks +permission to port, it is granted with three restrictions on the resulting +program: it may not be sold, it may not be used commercially and a copy must +be submitted to SEA for redistribution (under the same restrictions). Someone +may also use the sources in a commercial product, but in this case, a source +license fee is charged and the resulting program may NOT be a general purpose +file-archiving utility. + +FidoNews 5-27 Page 14 4 Jul 1988 + +A short time later PKXARC appeared on the scene, followed quickly by PKARC. +Katz hadn't followed the rules, but then, ARC wasn't making anybody rich as +shareware, and Katz wasn't addressing the much more lucrative commercial +market SEA had developed for ARC, so SEA overlooked it. Then, last year, an +ad for PKARC and PKXARC appeared in "PC Tech Journal" on the page facing SEA's +ad for ARC. Katz' ad priced the product a dollar and a half less than ARC, +and even went so far as to make comparisons to "the other archive utility." + +SEA then sent a "cease and desist" letter to PKWare, proposing the following +agreement: PKWare would withdraw all commercial advertising and cease attempts +at commercial distribution, and SEA would forgive past violations and grant +PKWare an unlimited cost-free license to market its derivative products as +shareware with a non-commercial restriction. Katz refused. + +I suspect, though I don't know, that there were additional exchanges between +SEA and PKWare. Were it me, I would have demanded a source license fee and +royalties on sales to date. In any event, no agreement was reached, so SEA +filed suit. + +As I understand it, there are four counts in the complaint (not necessarily in +this order): 1) "look-and-feel" violation, 2) copyright violation, 3) +trademark violation, and 4) unfair trade practice. Let's look at them one at +a time. + +I placed "look-and-feel" first because it's fairly easy to dismiss. I +personally don't think SEA has a prayer on this one. "Look-and-feel" is the +current legal buzz-word so SEA's lawyer tossed it in, but I can't imagine it +applying in this case. + +A concept or idea cannot be copyrighted, but the expression of a concept or +idea sure can, and a program is the expression of one or more concepts or +ideas. If the development of PKXARC and PKARC were entirely independent of +ARC, merely employing the concepts used there, then the second count cannot be +sustained. If it can be shown that Katz obtained or had access to the sources +for ARC, then he probably infringed on SEA's copyright. If it can be shown +that he actually used them in developing his programs, then he IS guilty of +copyright infringement. Even if he translated them to assembly language, he +violated the copyright. Translating a novel from English to German without +the permission of the author and/or publisher is prohibited by copyright laws +world-wide. Same principle. + +Is ARC a trademark? As relating to archiving or compression utilities, you +bet. Does the name "PKARC" violate that trademark? Suppose I developed a new +soft drink and began marketing it under the name "BBCOKE." How quickly would I +find myself in court? And isn't there a network developer using the name +"ARC," and are they in jeopardy? No! If I were a fuel dealer, I could sell +all the "Coke" (a coal derivative) I wanted and the Coca Cola Co. couldn't +care less. This one will be tough for Katz to beat. + +FidoNews 5-27 Page 15 4 Jul 1988 + +Why is a trademark important, anyway? A company spends considerable effort, +not to mention money, establishing a trademark. I mentioned Coke in the +previous paragraph. Did anyone have any doubt what company I was referring +to? This is called "product recognition" and it is an extremely valuable +asset. SEA has it with "ARC," but that didn't just happen. They worked at +it. My "BBCOKE" would be trading on product recognition it didn't earn on its +own. If I then sought out advertisements for Coca Cola, and placed ads of my +own, claiming (whether right or not) "BBCOKE is better than the other cola" +next to all I could find, would I be engaging in fair trade? Do you think I +could argue that I was not trying to deliberately undermine the effect of +their advertising and take advantage of their recognition? Do you suppose +that Coca Cola would give me the courtesy of a letter before they fell on me +like a ton of bricks? If any of the first three counts can be sustained, then +the fourth probably should be also. + +A recent "PC Week" article has caused considerable comment on this issue. One +mentioned a "fact" cited in the article that PKWare was a four-employee +company operating out of Katz' home, and implied this was a Goliath attacking +a David. The "facts" may or may not be true. The article was so badly +written and so poorly researched as to call into question all of its "facts." +The fact is that SEA is a four-employee (counting the principals) company. +The Wayne (not Fort Wayne) NJ corporate address is Andy Foray's home. These +are TWO small companies. Neither has the resources to pursue a protracted +legal battle. I think we can expect a reasonably quick resolution. + +So how does it all affect you? Will you still be allowed to use a Unix port +of ARC? Of course. Most ports have been made with permission, and even those +which have not are not encroaching on SEA's commercial market. Will you still +be able to use PKARC or PKXARC copies you obtained through shareware? You did +so in good faith and SEA has neither the resources nor the inclination to +search you out and persecute you. In fact, should Katz lose the suit, he +might still be granted a license to market his programs as shareware. For +that, we'll have to await the final resolution. SEA is NOT being vindictive. +They are trying to protect what they regard as a valuable commercial asset. + +If you are a shareware software developer, as I am, it may affect you in a +different way. The lawyers have been telling us for several years that the +copyright laws do in fact protect products marketed as "shareware." But so +far, no court has said so, and the courts of the land are the final arbiters +of the law. A win for SEA, particularly on the second count above, would +place all, big or small, on notice! Shareware is NOT public domain! A win +for Katz, on the other hand, is a signal to shareware authors, and a source of +inexpensive, quality software might well dry up. If that happened, it would +hurt developers and users alike. Think about it. + +================ end quote ================ + +I take issue with one conclusion of the author... if there is any validity to +any look and feel suit, this is it. While the zoo and dwc archivers have +different help and directory screens, PKARC seems to have copied those screens +directly from ARC. + +I wonder when one of these programs will switch to 16 bit compression and just +say "if you want to run this get 512k on your box." There are a lot of +programs which need it now, and staying with the restrictions of the original +256k PC is pretty pointless. + +bill davidsen +---------- +Category 11, Topic 9 +Message 4 Sat Jul 09, 1988 +MDEVORE [Michael] at 21:00 CDT + +Tom Neff lives!

I do, personally. Thom is NOT a vindictive person, and he certainly +has not "abandoned" his users. "Glacial slowness"? Thom has upgraded ARC +regularly over the last four years, and he IS extremely responsive to +suggestions and bug reports. If you have a specific feature you would like to +see added to ARC, I suggest you write a letter and tell him so. I can +guarantee that you will receive an answer. + +I'm going to speak about most of the points here. + +1) ARC being slow - ARC is slow because the techniques ARC uses to access +files are GUARANTEED to be compatible with 99% of MS- and PC-DOS machines. +Last I heard, ARC is developed entirely on a PC/XT machine, not due to +masochism, but to ensure that it is as compatible as possible across the +board. Thom and Andy are probably doing compiles and editing on a 386 machine +now, but I KNOW that ARC is still tested on XT machines as the final go-ahead +test. + +2) The suit - If Thom decided to file suite against PKWARE, it's because he +has exhausted every other means of trying to protect what he feels are his +rights. Thom happens to be a very modest and private person. He does not like +to be in the limelight, though he enjoys interacting with people through +electronic means, and he is a VERY good moderator and general organizer. A lot +of what FidoNet is and isn't today is a result of a lot of hard work from +Thom's part. If he finally decided to file suit, it's because he got tired of +trying to reason with Phil. I'm not surprised. Squash mode is, in my opinion, +a good example of what kind of person Mr. Katz must be. + +3) Source code - I feel Thom did not do the right thing by releasing the +source to ARC to the general public. It was a virtual invitation for something +like this to happen. However, the source is well- marked as a copyrighted +work, and anyone that tells me that PKARC did not come from ARC's source has +no idea what they are talking about. I agree with Ben Baker (whom I also know +personally) that the look-and-feel issue is a moot one, it's just a catchy +phrase that computer law lawyers like to use know. ARC's user interface is so +generically text oriented that I don't think there's much there that Thom can +claim rights to. However, everything else in the suit make a heck of a lot of +sense to me. + +4) Clones of ARC - One of the reasons that I suspect Thom had in mind when he +released the source to ARC is to deal with the many people who were asking SEA +to port ARC to other machines. Rather than expend a ton of work for machines +Thom and Andy had no experience with, they released the source and gave people +opportunities to make "clones" of the standard for other machines under VERY +explicit and clear-cut conditions. I think this is an excellent example of the +kind of person Thom is. + +5) ARC performance revisited - ARC gives users a very easy way to speed up the +program tenfold or more. You set an environment variable, ARCTEMP I believe, +to whatever disk drive you want ARC to use for temp files it creates. You can +also specify a path. Simple, set ARCTMP to a ram disk, and it easily matches +PKARC in performance. This is in the documentation, I find it hard to believe +that not many people are aware of this. + +6) As it relates to ZOO - I think ZOO is an excellent program and a viable +alternative to ARC. Many BBS' and other systems use ZOO exclusively. When I +first saw Zoo, I converted all 1000+ files on my old BBS in California to ZOO. +Unfortunately, I lost all my files to a magnetic scan machine at an airport, +and eventually converted back to ARC. I don't think this suit has anything to +do with Zoo. + +7) Impact on Shareware - I hope Thom wins his suit. Any shareware developers +reading this cannot help but think how good it will be for all of us to +finally get some recognition from the courts for our work. Our software might +actually get some badly-needed legal recognition and protection. + +I welcome any comments and rebuttals. + +Juan +---------- +Category 11, Topic 9 +Message 7 Sat Jul 09, 1988 +B.K.BARRETT at 23:01 PDT + + I disagree. I think Phil took the ARC idea to its logical conclusion, and it +deserves to live. PKARC is faster, cleaner, and in my opinion a far superior +product. If Thom couldn't go that extra step that Phil took, he shouldn't go +crying to the courts. +---------- +Category 11, Topic 9 +Message 8 Sun Jul 10, 1988 +MDEVORE [Michael] at 01:31 CDT + +Juan, I have *every* idea about what I am talking about. I know people who +know and have dealt with Mr. Henderson. I also like to point out that I don't +have to agree with you to know what I'm talking about. (Yeah, I'm mad, but +I'll get over it). + +Thom HAS absolutely 100% been quoted as saying extremely rude things to one +person who was interested in a port of ARC to OS/2. Several other foolish +remarks were made at the time too. + +I can't believe that you think ARC has been supported in the slightest. ALL +of his idiotic so-called "upgrades" were minor for the past many months. The +man obviously has *NO* idea of how to make a program competitive. The world +has been crying for a better version of ARC for a long time. PK did it. +Build a better mousetrap.... + +Market tells all. PKARC is already replacing ARC in most BBS's as the +preferred way to go. You can rail all you want about ARC really being pretty +fast if you do this, that, or the other thing and it being well-supported. +Fact is, the people have chosen: for greatly superior performance. Just ask +about anyone who use PKARC why. + +Surprise, ZOO is 100% compatible with MS-DOS generic machines too. And guess +what? It's about 5x faster too. Thom certainly can't hide behind +compatibility as some poor excuse for slowness. ARC is slow because either 1) +he used a very very poor language to write it in, or 2) he can't program very +well. I'll be kind and assume #1. That still means that Mr. Henderson has no +concept of what a modern language can do and is completely out of touch with +what tools a professional should be using. Still kind of makes him +incompetent in one way or another. + +I've heard that a lot of Fido people are quite displeased with Mr. Henderson +as well. Since that's a third-party comment, I can't really say whether it's +true or not. But the comment was publicly made by someone who generally knows +what he is talking about. Maybe someone else can give the scoop. Yes, I know +that you're a Fido person. However, you don't represent all Fido people. + +I'll will in no fashion defend Phil Katz. I think, well, I won't say what I +think since it could lead to a libel suit if he ever saw my opinion. Suffice +to say that I'll *NEVER* support PK, or his wares. Enough has been said here +about the sordid history of PKARC. I'd support Thom over Phil if it came to +that, god forbid. Maybe that'll make you fractionally happier. + +I think this lawsuit has everything to do with ZOO. Hopefully enough people +will be sick enough of the two parties that they'll abandon ARC all together +and move towards the future. ZOO's expansion capabilities provide a future. +ARC's doesn't. One can only hope that this lawsuit will provide the impetus. + +I hope that both parties drag on in this lawsuit soooo long that they go +bankrupt. Serve them both right. I can actually see some good coming from +this lawsuit if that happens. + +If Thom wins his suit, basically what will occur is that shareware authors +will be more legally protected from their own incompetence. If Phil wins the +suit, shareware authors will be more legally open to predation of their works. +Lose-lose.

It was called LU, not LIB. Paul +Homchick first ported LU over to a 16-bit processor, running CP/M-86 (actually +MP/M-86). + +Now, on to a strange conclusion I have seen in a couple of the previous +messages - it was stated that the fact that SEA didn't "enhance" or "actively +support" ARC by more frequent and more radical upgades, by supporting more +efficient compression schemes, speeding up the program, etc. is somehow a +justification for someone else to steal his work. No way! This argument is +absurd both legally and ethically. When one offers software for sale, where +does it say one must be chained to it forever more in terms of active +development? I am not saying that I necessarily favor such action, but it is +in no way an excuse to circumvent someone and try to take his intellectual +property away. +---------- +Category 11, Topic 9 +Message 10 Sun Jul 10, 1988 +HOMCHICK [Paul] at 09:08 EDT + +Small correction on historical note... someone reverse enginered LU for unix +and wrote a C program named lar (Library ARchive). lar then was taken up by a +variety of folks including Tom Jennings and myself and was ported to the 16- +bit micro environment. My port "LU86" was for a short time the "standard" for +ms-dos computers, and was the first LU program to support time and date +stamping of member files. + +As to the matter at hand, I'll leave commentary on this fracus to others. Just +to give folks some idea of where I stand, tho: I use zoo exclusively for my +personal and business archiving, and use Vern Buerg's programs when I have to +use an ARC file. When Phil Katz improved upon ARC by adopting his own SQUASH +method, it would have been far preferable if he had adopted his own PKA or PKX +format instead of riding on the coattails of SEA ARC, and appropriating their +market and format. + +This all revolves around the concept of an ARC, and whether or not it is a +unique, copyrightable entitiy. There were no ARC files before Thom Henderson +wrote ARC.EXE, he clearly invented same. He copyrighted his work, and set +about trying to make money from it. Then Phil Katz wrote a program that did +the same thing and started competing in the same markets with SEA/Henderson. +Not only did he appropriate "ARC", he made his program slightly different with +SQUASHING, so that SEA's program no longer worked on the formate SEA had +invented, copyrighted, and marketed. To me, this is 1) theft of intellectual +property, and 2) unfair competetition to boot. + +Oops! I guess I got carried away and let you know how I feel about this. +Phil Katz is a great programmer, and PKware is good stuff. If PKARC hadn't +gone around masquerading as ARC when it wasn't, and had been presented as a +new, improved, alternative, then I might be using it and there would be no +suit. But that is not what happened. Moral: make certain that the coattails +you ride on do not require a fare! +---------- +Category 11, Topic 9 +Message 11 Sun Jul 10, 1988 +MDEVORE [Michael] at 11:29 CDT + +Careful with that "justification for someone else to steal his work." phrase +Charlie. I think the way PK did it was slimy, but fact is, algorithms can +*NOT* be copyrighted. IMPLEMENTATIONS of algorithms can. + +Further, the compression techniques Thom uses are generally considered public +domain. Several programs legally use one or more types. There may be a +technique he came up on his own, I dunno. Certainly he didn't come up with +all of them. The LZW compression algorithm is one example. + +You may or may not be able to say that Mr. Katz stole Mr. Henderson's +implementation of the algorithms used.

However, there is also a moral +argument which goes: Thom Henderson invented the ARC format and sold it +commercially.

Take your pick. +---------- +Category 11, Topic 9 +Message 13 Sun Jul 10, 1988 +J.JIMENEZ at 13:54 EDT + +Mike, PK did NOT build a better mousetrap. He copied an old mouse trap and but +a bigger spring on it. Note that there has never been any other documentation +on the ARC file formats other than the source code which SEA released. This in +itself may not be proof that PK copied the algorithm, but if he didn't he was +very stupid to make his program so compatible with ARC, if in fact it was +developed independently. + +The Fido issue has nothing to do with this, but I was involved with Fido for a +long time while it was experiencing growing pains. The reason some people +"don't like" Thom is because a lot of the ideas he had for Fido and the net +were geared towards better organization and a centralized control over the +net, which makes a lot of sense. Right now there are a number of independent +nets, and it's a mess. I don't intend to represent all the Fido people, but I +do have a very clear picture of the story behind Fido because I was part of +it. + +Note also that at no time did SEA or Thom say that no one could make a clone +of ARC. The fact is, he has every right to say such a thing. However, he chose +not to. He released copyrighted code to the public to promote clones, under +very specific conditions. PKWare broke the rules, period. + +BTW, if market tells all, how come I have heard so many people complain about +PK's "new" compression formats, etc. for the last year or so? The statement +that most BBS' have converted to PK is quite innacurate. Most BBS' do make PK +available and do support squashed files, but in essence the vast majority of +those files are still using the original ARC formats. + +You really think that shareware authors are basically incompetent? Do you +include yourself among that group, or are you above that. How would you like +to see people copy your OVL program and sell it as PKOVL, using your ideas to +make money for themselves by just making it a little faster? Would you do +something about that to protect your rights? + +ARC was developed in C, a language which you personally have said is the +language of choice. ARC is slow, but it is also portable. Proof of this is +that there are Unix, CP/M, Amiga, Mac and all kinds of other weird ports of +ARC running around. No such luck for PKARC. PK has tried to do something about +this by publishing the PK squash file and archive formats, which are basically +the same as the ARC formats except for comments and the "squash" algorithm, +but it hasn't helped much. + +I will agree with you that algorithms cannot be copyrighted, but PK has gone +much further than that, by copying the algorithms, the file formats, the +implementation and even the NAME of the program, ARC, down the file extensions +it creates its files with. + +I also agree with Paul's statement that if PK had simply come up with a faster +solution, not a faster copy of the solution, he wouldn't be in the trouble he +is now. Notice that SEA did not, and as far as I know has no intention of, +suing Rahul for his ZOO. Nobody has sued SEA for their ARC either, because it +was developed independently with new ideas and concepts, but using public +domain algorithms. + +Juan +---------- +Category 11, Topic 9 +Message 14 Sun Jul 10, 1988 +MDEVORE [Michael] at 14:25 CDT + +Excuse me? Where did I say that shareware authors are basically incompetent? +I paid hard earned cash for both Qmodem and ProComm. I consider both of them +better than many commercial packages. PC-Write, PC-File, Patriquin's +utilities all get high marks in my book. Closer to home, I've only heard good +things about your own GSETUP. I support *GOOD* shareware, and *GOOD* +shareware does exist in reasonable quantities. Incompetent and mediocre +shareware exists in huge quantities, but that's another matter. + +Your analogy is faulty. I didn't release source code to OVL or PROVL. If +someone else comes up with a better version that doesn't steal executable code +from my program, there isn't a darn thing I can do about it. If, *IF*, PK did +in fact steal source code from SEA and perform a straight translation, he's +slime and should pay a price. However, I don't hold Thom blameless in this +affair either, as per my previous messages. + +I admit that PK stepped in it when he copied the ARC name, and most especially +the .ARC extension. Like I said, of the two, PK is higher on my dirt list. +He should have used a different file extension and supported the .ARC +extension (sans squashing) as well. He'll prolly get toasted for that +particular decision, if any. + +As far as appropriating a format and name and beginning commercial sales which +hurt an inventor and owner, except for the name part, that sounds a lot like +the Lotus lawsuit against Mosaic and Paperback (?) Software. Look at all the +dBASE III clones. They use dBASE III's language format, and I guarantee that +the sales of some of the stand-alone dB3 compilers take away sales from A-T. +There is also Mirror, the Xtalk clone. The list goes on. Clone software +copies a general format and takes sales away from the original. Some clones +add enough features that they become the new standard. Evolution. + +Lastly, there is a distasteful argument that I have heard, which unfortunately +does have some validity to it. PKARC has saved thousands of people thousands +of hours. PK is even significantly faster than Vern's utilities. A piece of +software that helps so many people isn't 100% evil. I seen many testimonials +from PK fanatics around the circuit. I won't use that argument, but you +should be aware that many do. The average Joe or Jill doesn't much care about +arcane legalities (s)he doesn't understand. Outright theft, yes, but PKARC +code has not been proven to be stolen from SEA's source code -- although one +can have some suspicions about the matter. + +---------- +Category 11, Topic 9 +Message 15 Sun Jul 10, 1988 +STROM [Charlie] at 15:43 EDT + +Mike, I don't even want to try arguing whether Phil stole anything or not. The +point I was trying to make is that it is wrong to use an argument expressed in +the earlier messages - namely that if a software author does not "support" his +product well enough in the eyes of another, it is then somehow okay for the +other fellow to walk off with his work. This is a red herring. +---------- +Category 11, Topic 9 +Message 16 Sun Jul 10, 1988 +M.MELLO at 16:14 EDT + +For another opinion: Personally, I prefer PK because it is faster, writes a +smaller archive (with "squashing") and interfaces well with many menu driven +"arc" utilities written for it. The individuals crying foul because of the +archive's ARC extension should take a look at possible copyright violations +each time they write a "DOC" file for their own shareware releases. Doesn't +someone own a patent on a file extension of DOC? Or WK1, WKS, or WK? ?? Who +cares? + Additionally, if the programs seem to operate alike, but the difference +in speed is so dramatic, who is stealing from whom, if anyone? If the +program is SO inferior as compared to ARCE and ARCV or the original ARC, then +WHY is it so popular? In this area, and most others that I'm aware of, +_________PKARC________ is the standard, NOT ARC. I think one would do well to +re-evaluate the sample taken of archive users to see what is really being +used more. + The programs, when viewed side by side, may perhaps appear to be +related. So they are! If they were really identical, I would be able to +squash my huge DOC files with ARC and unsquash with PKXARC, right? NO! So +the code cannot be identical. Alike, perhaps. I think if you'll look to see +how some of the code is for many of the PD workalikes, like AS_EASY_AS and +PC_WRITE, you'll see that there are many ways to skin a cat, as it were, but +only a few BETTER or BEST ways. Perhaps both PK and ARC are both latched on +to the same method? + I have no sympathy for whining, back biting little programmers who see +their business being taken away by a superior product. These types will run +to the courts and present fancy mumbo-jumbo legalese documents to support +their own shortcomings without being able to recognize that the only reason +for their distress is that they are getting their buns kicked! I have always, +and will continue to support and use Phil Katz' products, as they have +demonstrated on MY machine superior performance compared with older, less +efficient products that purport to out perform them.

Introduction. + + In the world of modem freaks and slowly on in the industrial + world, the HAYES modem is a defacto standard. + + The official standards like RS232c (USA) and V24/V28 (CCITT) + describe the Physical part of a data circuit, while the V25 + (CCITT) describes the A(uto) C(call) U(unit) function. The + speeds and usage of the modems are laid down by the CCITT V- + standards, mainly in the V21 till V36 books. + + Due to the different country and telephone company laws, + modems are different and not compatable with each other, + exept modems of one vendor. Some years ago, it was very + unwise to make a connection with two different modems, even + if they claimed to be according a V-xx norm. Mostly this + was no problem, because a data transport was mainly between + two predefined points via a leased line or switched network. + The connection was buildup manual, or made automatic via + autocall function ACU (V25/RS232). + + The HAYES-300 modem (I think this was the start), besides + the Physical RS232/V24/V28 norm did specify the modem + control command level between modem and terminal via the AT + leadin and the +++ command to return from + a data state to the command state. Also it describes the + handling of automatic speed detection. This command set + enables operators and application programmers to buildup a + connection via normal conversation. As it could be + programmed, the connection via a switched network was + possible automatical via simple statements like "CALL John". + The original HAYES-300 was not using call procedures like + 108/1 or 108/2 (DTR circuit). With the HAYES-1200, this + command set was extended to cope with more than one line + speed, the BELL 103 and BELL 212A. The last one more or less + compatable with the CCITT V22 norm. Also the automatic speed + selection in 'answering' mode was build in. With the HAYES- + 2400, the set was dramatically extended with three speeds, + BELL-103, BELL-212A and the CCITT V22 and V22bis norms. So + handling also in 'answering' mode an automatic selection. As + the BELL-212A and V22 uses a PSK (four-level phase shift + keying) and V22bis uses QAM (Quadrature Amplitude + Modulation) technic, which were designed for synchronous + modems, the HAYES-modem translates the asynchrone data into + + + a synchronous way by inserting and consequently removing a + STOP bit in periods where no character is send. The HAYES- + 1200 is not compatible with the BELL-212A/V22 synchronous + modems. The HAYES-2400 is also in this aspect compatible and + serves also the formal Half duplex (RTS/CTS-handling). As + the HAYES-1200 did serve only the CCITT 108/2 mode, the + HAYES-2400 supports also the 108/1 mode. Really you can say, + the HAYES-2400 is a complex intelligent unit. Despite the + well written handbook of HAYES, it is a hard job to make a + compatible one. From all modems (compatibles) I have seen, + there are a few which come close to the HAYES, the most are + fare away. + + As my job is Faultfinder (Support), I really was very + pleased, HAYES did implement in the HAYES-2400, a really + complete circuit test via the S16-register, even with remote + commands, so the fully V54 norm of CCITT. As most Hobbyist + but even profesionals have big problems with reliable + circuit connections, and more the solvation of it, a modem + without this feature nowadays isn't worth the word MODEM so + certainly not the word HAYES. + + 2. HAYES-clones. + + What is "compatible". Really nothing if not exactly said + with WHAT. "HAYES compatible" is to vaque. "HAYES command + set compatible" is better. Most modems, so not all, are only + compatible with a "subset of HAYES command set". But also + most "hayes" modems have commands not existing with hayes. + Some unlucky vendors did use commands or registers not used + with hayes-1200 at that time, but later used in the HAYES- + 2400. (Bad Ques). + + The best I can say most of the better clones are more or + less compatible upto HAYES-1200. + + As I don't know if besides HAYES-1200 and the HAYES-2400, + also a HAYES-300 exists, I further only refer to this two, + from which both I have the specifications. In Europe a lot + of 'hayes' modems with only the V21 and V23 speeds exists, + which are similar, but absolute not connectable, with the + BELL-103 and BELL-202 norm modems. + + As most application programs only use a small set of the + HAYES-command set, most clones will run with these packages + such that the user is pleased, not to use his fingers and + ear to make a connection. This if he has a user friendly + telephone company (are there), but mostly the results are + hopeless in peak hours, if there is a mismatch between the + modem commands and the terminal commands. I had a modem and + a terminal program and on some day no nice CALL + was succesfully. With finger and ear there was no problem. + Reaction of the terminal was "BUSY". The real point was, the + modem did not pickup in ATX2 mode the dial tone from the + Telephone company, so didn't start dialling. As the modem + had not a speaker (for cheapness), I could not use the ATM1 + + + command, to follow the connection process. The dial signal + was strong enough, but the frequency was a little ouside + (WHO's) specification. + + 3.

Automatic answering sequence (V25). + + If ringing is received on the line, the CE/CT125 circuit + (pin 22) will be raised true. If CD/108 circuit was true, + the modem goes OFF-HOOK. If not the modem waits for a true + signal on CD/108 (pin 20), before it goes OFF-HOOK. The + modem remains after 'off hook', for 1.8-2.5 sec. silent and + then transmits the 2100 Hz. answer tone during 2.6-4.0 sec. + or till 100msec. after a response from the calling station. + At least now 75 msec. silence is maintained. The 2100 Hz is + intended to disable network echo cancellers or echo + suppressors and is reversed in phase every 425-475 msec.

In + Europe, with its V23-splitbaud rate complexity, there are + Hayes compatibles trying to select at the moment after the + answer sequence to select: V21, V23 (viditel), V22 and + V22bis.

This only for the + 1200 baud FD mode. The V22bis is fully compatible with the + V22 norm. The difference between V22 (600/1200 baud) and + V22bis (1200/2400 baud) is V22 works with 2 dibits and + V22bis with quadbits. The way of working of PSK/QAM modems + is to complex to explain here, but it is important to know + that a phase change of the modulated carrier of: + + 0 degrees is equal to dibit 01 + 90 degrees is equal to dibit 00 + 180 degrees is equal to dibit 10 + 270 degrees is equal to dibit 11 + + These first two bits in the V22bis quadbit are compatible + with the dibits of V22, to remain compatabilty for fallback + mode. The V22bis has another 4 levels of detection by means + of a quadrature amplitude modulation technic. + + + + 3.3.4. Automatic answering mode V22(bis). + + At calling time the sequence as described above with the FSK + type modem is valid for the V22(bis). The called modem + reacts instead or after the answer sequence with unscrambled + binary '1's at 1200 bit/sec. and well in the upper channel + (2400 Hz. carrier). This till it detects scrambled '0' or + '1's in the lower channel (1200 Hz. carrier). The calling + modem remains silent till it for 155 msec. detects + unscrambled '1's in the upper channel, after which it + remains silent for 456 msec. and then transmit unscrambled + double dibits 00 and 11, if in V22bis mode, for 100 msec. + followed by scrambled binary '1's or if in V22 mode it + transmits direct scrambled binary '1's (*). Here the + distinction 1200/2400 baud is made by the calling modem. The + called modem reacts with scrambled '1's preceded, if V22bis + with the unscrambled double dibit 00 and 11. At the moment + of detection of the double dibits, the circuit CI/112 (pin + 12) is set true (indicating 2400 baud). In both cases the + scrambled '1's are observed for 600 msec. after which the + circuit CF/109 (pin 8) is set true. If V22 (1200) the data + transfer is started under control of CA/104 (pin 3). In the + V22bis mode (2400), first scrambled binary '1's are send + form both sides for 200 msec. on 2400 bit/sec. mode. Noted, + that till now all was transmitted on 1200 bit/sec. After + this 200 msec. also the V22bis mode is ready for data + transfer. + + I know it is confusing, but so it works. To make it more + difficult, the (*) mentioned in the text is true for V22bis + and for V22 alternative A and B only. For V22 alternative C, + for the '1's you have to read '0's. As the V22 norm is very + confusing on some aspects, one remark has to be made. In V22 + (not V22bis) 3 alternatives can be selected. Alternative A + and B are compatible with V22bis, but alternative C not. The + difference is the scrambled binary '0's stead '1's of the + calling modem. So the real difference between alternatives + A/B and C is, that alternative C includes the possibility + for mode V, for anisochronenous data upto 300 bit/sec. Which + manufacturer tells me which alternative as mentioned in V22 + he serves. Or has this to do with the Bell-212 norm. Who can + tell? Has this to do with the famous ATBn command in the + HAYES-2400 modem? See above. + + Be carefully with these V22 and Bell-212A norms. As + explained before only the 2400 baud (V22bis) is compatible. + The 1200 sometimes works, but sometimes not. E.g. I had an + USA RIXTON 212 modem, not corrected for the European market. + Also I had a Dutch designed (DATAD) V22(bis) V23 and V21 + modem and an English (PACE) for the same speeds. The RIXTON + works pretty most at the time with both the DATAD and PACE + modem. But sometimes it goes wrong and the Eurpeans connects + at 2400, which is strange, but true. With an original HAYES- + 1200 (with no ATBn) command as the HAYES-2400 has, nearly + the same result. The two Europeans hardly are connectable at + 1200 baud to each other. This has in my opinion to do with + + + the way of speed selection. We try to come out of this + struggle. + + 3.4. Some advise on real physical level. + + If you are ggiing into communications with modems and you + have no Telecomfreak-friend close to you and you want no + nervous breakdown in the near future, have at least a + "breakbox", self made or from the shop. This to follow the + different DTE/DCE levels. If you want to log a HAYES session + to evaluate the connection process or data exchange process, + make from your old computer a "DATASCOPE". (See Appendix A + for some suggestions). An other advise is to standardise + your cable set. As some manufactures make a mash of the V24 + or RS232C pins, you have not to follow it. On telephone + line level it is handy to have in your surrounding a scope + or frequency counter. + + 3.5. Connection of the terminal to the HAYES. + + The Hayes modem has a minimum and a maximum baud rate. If + you connect a terminal to the modem, make sure you have the + right pins connected in relation with the dipswitches. Also + if you have selected e.g. 108/2 mode, be sure your terminal + program support them. It is possible to connect only the + pins 2,3 and 7. So in this case the DTR and the DCD are + forced true. In general I don't like this methode. With the + Hayes-1200, RTS and CTS are not used, so only full duplex is + possible. With Hayes-2400 you have to use these signals only + if you use the Half Duplex mode (Synchrone mode). Otherwise + RTS (pin 4) is neglected and CTS (pin 5) is set true. + + So if you have connected the terminal properly, at the time + you give an 'A' or 'a', the modem decides what the baudrate + is and set the terminal interface UART according to it. + Hayes is very street forward. This speed is maintained till + after the , which always finishes a command + line. With the next A from a new AT command line, a new + speed can be defined. There is one other possibility. In + auto answer mode or if a call is made, the baudrate can be + else as the speed in the last passed command mode. This on + real modem level, the baudrate detection selects another + speed. The Hayes reacts with the connect code on this last + command mode speed and than switches to the new speed. To + give an example. Suppose the terminalspeed is 2400 baud. A + dial is made towards a 1200 baud only modem. The Hayes will + start the connect phase as described in 3.3.2. but finally + will get a connection on 1200 baud. So he will react towards + the terminal with 2400 baud with 'CONNECT' or '1', switches + back to 1200 baud, which the terminal has to follow, + otherwise it result in a terminal/modem mismatch. Also a + +++ on 2400 baud will not be accepted. + Only 1200 baud, from this moment on. So suppose the + established call at 1200 baud is broken. The Hayes will, + after the carrier disappear, fall back into command mode + still in 1200 baud. The terminal has to give an AT + + + on 2400 baud if it wants the original 2400 baud connection + again. + + 3.6. The differences in the Hayes command set. + + Very short a comparision between HAYES-1200 and HAYES-2400 + modem will be given and only per command a short functional + recoqnition. First however the Hayes command-input line. It + starts with AT or at (no mix of UPPER/lower) and ends with a + cariage return from now on indicated with . The only + exeption is the A/ command, which needs no . During + commandline editing backspace (hex '08') is accepted. One or + more commands can be given after one leading AT.

Datascope. + + A datascope looks to both the RXD and the TXD line of a + V24/RS232C line. So only follows what happens on the line. + There are very nice commercial packages as FELINE, HP etc., + but they are expensive and they use mostly a special POD to + connect to the V24 line. Most of them you have to preset on + one speed and than to start the logging. + + If you have an old computer with better two speed + programmable UART or a SIO chip and you can program them in + Assembler/basic/pascal or C, you can make your one one. + + The next story is a simplified logunit only to log + datastreams preceded with a AT-string. Most of the + application programs works in terminal session as well + + filetransport in a half duplex mode. Or better, never the TX + and RX line transports a character. So basically in default + you have to look to the TXD-line, and look at 2400 baud for + a character x'41','06', '78' or '01'. At that moment you + know that probably the speed is 2400, 1200, 600 or 300 baud. + You get on line speeds 600 and 1200 a framing error, because + the stop-bit is not detected. Now depending the detected + speed you have to wait (time-out) till the rest of the + character is passed, then you have to change the speed of + your comm-port, and await for the 'T', If it is a 'T' than + you have the speed, if not wait on 2400 baud for the + posibilities as described above. The basic idee behind this + is really simple. If you listen with 2400 bit/sec to a 300 + bit/sec send character, the start bit is detected and will + serve for the startbit and 7 bits char. bits (so 7 zero + bits). The eights char. bit is formed of the LSB bit and + well 1/8 portion of it. The second portion will be the stop + bit. So if on the line really is transmitted a 600 bit/sec + char., the same is true with 1/4 portions. Furthermore you + have to look to both the TXD and RXD line, if on one a char. + is received. If so you put this char. in its own buffer and + in the other one a x'00'. Lateron you can print it out, one + line from buffer RXD, one line from buffer TXD in Hex or + + + ASCII (or both) outfit. + + Go on on the same speed till you didn't receive for 30 sec. + any character on both lines and start again with AT + synchronisation. In fact the HAYES inside micro computer is + doing the same. Don't try to write the buffer to disk at + first instance, because you need a DMA at least, but also 2 + buffers. So buffer it in memory only. You can try to write + to disk in the silence just before the new AT string. + diff --git a/textfiles.com/computers/ascii b/textfiles.com/computers/ascii new file mode 100644 index 00000000..4cae11d8 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/computers/ascii @@ -0,0 +1,182 @@ +From: jones@pyrite.cs.uiowa.edu (Douglas W.

You could have + relay logic that scans for SOH, then enables the print + mechanism if the following character matches this + station's address. In early documentation, this was + called start of message. + + STX 02 ^B start of text -- if the heading matched, start printing + with the following character. In early documentation, + this was called end of address. + + ETX 03 ^C end of text -- now is a good time to stop printing. + Your message might continue after this with a checksum + or other administrative stuff. In early documentation, + this was called end of message. The common use of + control C as a kill character stems from this -- it + indicates the end of your text addressed to some + application. + + EOT 04 ^D end of transmission -- relay logic could decode this + and, if there is a tape in the tape reader, it could + begin transmitting its own message. + + ENQ 05 ^E enquire -- on receiving this, local relay logic would + generate a response. In early documentation, this was + called WRU or who are you. Teletypes had programmable + response sequences that were encoded on a music box + mechanism, and it was up to the customer to break + plastic fingers off the drum to code how it responded + to an ENQ. + + ACK 06 ^F acknowledge -- one possible response to ENQ. In early + documentation, this was called RU or are you. + + BEL 07 ^G bell -- ring the bell in the terminal. Teletypes had + real bells where most modern terminals have beepers of + some kind.

The sequence CR LF was always sent in that order + so that the linefeed could be handled while the carriage + was returning; a well adjusted Teletype could just finish + the CR in this time (0.2 seconds), and a common sign that + it was time to call the service man was that the first + letter printed after a CR LF was printed "on the fly" on + the way back to the margin. + + SO 0E ^N shift out -- if you've got a two-color ribbon, shift to + the alternate color, usually red. There are obvious + extensions of this to alternate character sets. + + SI 0F ^O shift in -- undo whatever SO does. For mysterious reasons + that have no apparent connection to old or modern ASCII + standards, DEC liked to use control O as a break character + to suppress teletype output. + + DLE 10 ^P data link escape -- an escape character is generally a + prefix for something else. DLE was expected to be used + as a prefix on characters in the user data stream that + might otherwise be interpreted as data link control + characters, for example, flow control characters. In + some early documentation, this was called DC0 or device + control zero. + + DC1 11 ^Q device control 1 -- turn on the paper tape reader. + In early documentation, this was called XON. + + DC2 12 ^R device control 2 -- turn on the paper tape punch. + + DC3 13 ^S device control 3 -- turn off the paper tape reader. + In early documentation, this was called XOFF, The use + of XON/XOFF (DC1/DC3) for flow control stems from their + use to control the flow of data from the paper tape + reader attached to a Teletype. + + DC4 14 ^T device control 4 -- turn off the paper tape punch. + + NAK 15 ^U negative acknowledge -- another possible response to ENQ. + One flow control mechanism is to use ENQ to ask if the + receiver has buffer space, and require the receiver to + respond with either ACK (yes) or NAK (no). ENQ could + also be used to enquire about whether a retransmission + is required after sending a checksum. The popular use of + control U to delete the current input line is only vaguely + grounded in this definition. + + SYN 16 ^V synchronous idle -- if you're using a synchronous + transmission protocol, and you have no data to send, you + send SYN characters to keep the clocks synchronized. + The receiver should ignore these, and the transmitter may + have to insert them into the data stream once in a while. + + ETB 17 ^W end of transmission block -- used when a transmission must + be broken into many blocks for some reason, for example, + to place a checksum after each block. Early documentation + called this logical end of media. + + CAN 18 ^X cancel -- take that back, what I just sent you is a + mistake, ignore it. + + EM 19 ^Y end of medium -- there's nothing left on this reel of + (paper) tape. + + SUB 1A ^Z substitute -- the next character is from an alternate + character set. SUB X might be equivalent to SO X SI, + or it might be an alternate mechanism for extending the + character set. The common use of control Z as an end + of file character has no obvious relation to the standard. + + ESC 1B ^[ escape -- the next character is to be interpreted as + something other than text, for example, it might be an + extended control character of some kind. + + FS 1C ^\ file separator -- useful if you have multiple logical + files in one transmission. + + GS 1D ^] group separator -- useful if files are made of groups + of records. + + RS 1E ^^ record separator -- COBOL anyone? + + US 1F ^_ unit separator -- are records made of units? + + ALT 7D } Some early teletypes had an ALT MODE key that generated + this code instead of ESC. This was interpreted as an + escape code, which was no problem when nobody had lower + case printers, but with the advent of full 96 character + ASCII, there were obvious compatability problems. + + PRE 7E ~ A few terminals had a PREFIX key that generated this code + instead of ALT MODE, with all the same problems. + + DEL 7F delete -- remember, paper tape uses a hole to record each + one and no hole to record each zero. DEL is all holes, + so it can be punched over any other character to rub it + out (on old teletypes, it was the RUB or RUB OUT key). + If you mispunch a character, just back up the tape and + overpunch it with a DEL. Software is expected to ignore + DEL the same way it ignores NULL. + diff --git a/textfiles.com/computers/ascii.inc b/textfiles.com/computers/ascii.inc new file mode 100644 index 00000000..127d46ff --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/computers/ascii.inc @@ -0,0 +1,26 @@ +(*----------------------------------------------------------------------*) +(* ASCII character set definitions *) +(*----------------------------------------------------------------------*) + +const + NUL = 0; (* NULL Character *) + ETX = 3; (* ETX = ^C *) + ENQ = 5; (* ENQ Character *) + ACK = 6; + BELL = 7; (* BELL Character *) + BS = 8; (* Backspace Char *) + HT = 9; (* Horizontal Tab *) + LF = 10; (* Line Feed *) + VT = 11; (* Vertical Tab *) + FF = 12; (* Form Feed *) + CR = 13; (* Carriage Return *) + SO = 14; (* Start grahics *) + SI = 15; (* End graphics *) + XON = 17; (* XON Character *) + XOFF = 19; (* XOFF Character *) + CAN = 24; + SUB = 26; (* EOF Character *) + ESC = 27; (* Escape *) + SP = 32; (* Space *) + DEL = 127; (* DEL Character *) + diff --git a/textfiles.com/computers/asm.txt b/textfiles.com/computers/asm.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..22ed2a7d --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/computers/asm.txt @@ -0,0 +1,4138 @@ +@Assembler Programming Topics +:8086 architecture +^Intel 8086 Family Architecture + +% General Purpose Registers Segment Registers + + AH/AL AX (EAX) Accumulator CS Code Segment + BH/BL BX (EBX) Base DS Data Segment + CH/CL CX (ECX) Counter SS Stack Segment + DH/DL DX (EDX) Data ES Extra Segment + (FS) 386 and newer + (Exx) indicates 386+ 32 bit register (GS) 386 and newer + + +% Pointer Registers Stack Registers + + SI (ESI) Source Index SP (ESP) Stack Pointer + DI (EDI) Destination Index BP (EBP) Base Pointer + IP Instruction Pointer + +% Status Registers + + FLAGS Status Flags (see ~FLAGS~) + +% Special Registers (386+ only) + + CR0 Control Register 0 DR0 Debug Register 0 + CR2 Control Register 2 DR1 Debug Register 1 + CR3 Control Register 3 DR2 Debug Register 2 + DR3 Debug Register 3 + TR4 Test Register 4 DR6 Debug Register 6 + TR5 Test Register 5 DR7 Debug Register 7 + TR6 Test Register 6 + TR7 Test Register 7 + +% Register Default Segment Valid Overrides + + BP SS DS, ES, CS + SI or DI DS ES, SS, CS + DI strings ES None + SI strings DS ES, SS, CS + + + - see ~CPU~ ~DETECTING~ ~Instruction Timing~ + +:Instruction Timing +^Instruction Clock Cycle Calculation + + + Some instructions require additional clock cycles due to a "Next + Instruction Component" identified by a "+m" in the instruction + clock cycle listings.

In effect, this means we do a byte-sized +; read from the source character data, but a word-sized write to the screen. +; +; The DeadLines parm specifies how many screen lines to skip between lines of +; the pattern.

ASP members subscribe to a code of + ethics and are committed to the concept of shareware as a way of + marketing. See page 6 if you'd like to join the ASP or learn + some more about us. + + The ASP itself does NOT rate members' software for functionality + or usefulness. That is for you -- the user -- to decide. Share- + ware software, especially that which is authorized to carry the + ASP logo, can be tested on a try-before-you-buy basis. If the + application doesn't fit your needs, you won't have to worry about + getting a refund. (That's the beauty of the shareware marketing + concept.) + + -- page 2 -- + + + + 'These programs are produced by members of the Asso- + ciation of Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to + make sure that the shareware principle works for you. + If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem + with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, + ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you + resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but + does not provide technical support for members' + products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at P.O. Box + 5786, Bellevue, WA 98006 or send a Compuserve message + via easyplex to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536' + + + Tips & Hints + + If you have questions about a particular product, check in the + index to see if there is a cross-reference for the program. An + entire appendix is devoted to authors' addresses & telephone + numbers. You might be able to get some help from them. + + New or updated programs are marked with '[***]' in the far right + corner. You can use your favorite word processor to hunt for + that string so you can see what's changed since last month. + + The 'BBS filename' shown with each product is the author's + preferred spelling for the filename and it usually has some sort + of connection to the program's version number. If your local BBS + has an earlier version of the program, it will probably be under + a different filename. Even if it is the current version, some + people upload the file as a different filename. You would be + wise to search for variations in spelling. Your local BBS sysop + can tell you how to do this. + + ASP authors are only human, and they sometimes forget to supply + all information before this list goes out. We apologize if you + see '??' where there should be a piece of information. + + Some applications are contained in multiple files, but you should + be warned of this in the description. + + Be sure to check the file size BEFORE you begin downloading. + Many of these products are bigger than 100k, and some are bigger + than 200k. Find out how big the file is before you go for it. + + A few applications have what can be described as 'conditional' + fees. Some may only need to be registered if the program will be + used in making a profit. Others may offer source code to the + program for a higher fee. The price you see here may not always + be the price you have to pay -- it could be higher or lower.

ASP wants to + make sure that the shareware principle works for you. + If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem + with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, + ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you + resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but + does not provide technical support for members' + products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 + Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a Compuserve + message via Compuserve Mail to ASP Ombuds- + man 70007,3536". The Ombudsman may be contacted by FAX + by sending to the ASP FAX number: (616) 788-2765. In + communication with the Ombudsman please include a tele- + phone number and/or FAX if available. + + Please write to the ASP at the above address if you have any + comments or questions about this catalog. + + ASP Catalog for BBS Users 3 + + + + + + Chapter 1 + How to read this catalog + + ASP members have supplied product descriptions for each shareware + application they offer. The catalog groups them by subject + matter and lists them alphabetically. If you want to know the + name/address/phone for the author of a particular program, turn + to the index and look for the program by name. You'll usually + see two page references: one describes the page where you read + about the program, the other mentions the page where you can find + information about the author (in Appendix A). Just turn to the + appropriate page and scan for the name of the program. + + The Association of Shareware Professionals does NOT rate members' + software for functionality or usefulness, nor can it attest to + the validity of any product description in this catalog. That is + for you -- the user -- to decide. Shareware, especially those + products authorized to carry the ASP logo, can be tested on a + "try before you buy" basis. If the software doesn't meet your + needs, you won't have to worry about getting a refund. (That's + the beauty of the shareware marketing concept.) + + + 1.1 Minimum requirements + + Every program description lists its computer and operating system + requirements (e.g. "IBM PC, DOS 2.0 or better"). Unless noted + otherwise, each program assumes you have a standard keyboard, + monitor, printer, and either two floppy drives or a hard disk. + And unless noted otherwise, programs written for the IBM PC + assume you have at least 512k of total installed RAM. Many pro- + grams may also need specific hardware or software such as: + + CGA monitor A video monitor capable of displaying CGA + graphics.

Shareware Professionals + + The Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP) formed in 1987 + to strengthen the future of shareware as an alternative to + traditional (retail) software marketing. It also serves as an + information clearing house for its members and the public at + large. ASP members subscribe to a code of ethics and are + committed to the shareware concept. + + The ASP demands professionalism from its members. Authors must + acknowledge every registration (you get more than just a + canceled check) and they must provide at least three months of + support for their products. ASP members must also live up to + any other benefits they offer. + + You can turn to an ombudsman for help if you can't resolve a + problem with an ASP author or disk vendor. Members must + explain this in every shareware program & disk vendor catalog. + + Few people need the ombudsman's help. ASP members represent + the cream of the crop in the shareware industry, but it's nice + to know you can turn to someone if you think you got a raw + deal. Unfortunately, it happens -- authors have been kicked + out because of repeated complaints. + + The Association monitors Congress for potentially damaging + legislation and has sent spokesmen to testify before + congressional subcommittees. It has also taken on the respon- + sibility of safeguarding the term 'shareware' itself. ASP has + filed motions in countries as far away as England and South + Africa to stop people who attempt to claim it as a trademark + word. + + ASP members 'meet' online in a public forum of the CompuServe + network (GO SHAREWARE). Members send & receive messages, + transmit files, and exchange valuable information. Old hands + in the shareware business pass along their insights to new + members. The group holds public and private debates and + members vote on major issues by sending private messages to the + Association secretary. + + The ASP holds yearly 'face to face' meetings and appears at + various trade shows around the country (including COMDEX and + PC-EXPO). It also provides speakers who lecture on every + aspect of shareware. You can learn more by writing to the + Association of Shareware Professionals, 545 Grover Road, + Muskegon, MI 49442.

Send all comments about the catalog to the above + address, or to CompuServe userID 70007,4004, or as a message in + the CompuServe SHAREWARE forum. + + ASP strives to produce accurate catalogs BUT this publication may + contain any number of typographical, graphical, printing, or + interpretation errors. + + "These programs are produced by members of the Associa- + tion of Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to + make sure that the shareware principle works for you. + If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem + with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, + ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you + resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but + does not provide technical support for members' + products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 + Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a Compuserve + message via Compuserve Mail to ASP Ombuds- + man 70007,3536".

The catalog groups them by subject + matter and lists them alphabetically. If you want to know the + name/address/phone for the author of a particular program, turn + to the index and look for the program by name. You'll usually + see two page references: one describes the page where you read + about the program, the other mentions the page where you can find + information about the author (in Appendix A). Just turn to the + appropriate page and scan for the name of the program. + + The Association of Shareware Professionals does NOT rate members' + software for functionality or usefulness, nor can it attest to + the validity of any product description in this catalog. That is + for you -- the user -- to decide. Shareware, especially those + products authorized to carry the ASP logo, can be tested on a + "try before you buy" basis. If the software doesn't meet your + needs, you won't have to worry about getting a refund. (That's + the beauty of the shareware marketing concept.) + + + 1.1 Minimum requirements + + Every program description lists its computer and operating system + requirements (e.g. "IBM PC, DOS 2.0 or better"). Unless noted + otherwise, each program assumes you have a standard keyboard, + monitor, printer, and either two floppy drives or a hard disk. + And unless noted otherwise, programs written for the IBM PC + assume you have at least 512k of total installed RAM. Many pro- + grams may also need specific hardware or software such as: + + CGA monitor A video monitor capable of displaying CGA + graphics. This includes most "laptop CGA" com- + puters, plus higher resolution monitors such as + the EGA or VGA. Some of the described programs + may operate correctly with a Hercules monitor if + you use a "CGA simulator" program; consult your + video monitor manual for details. + Dual 720k drives + At least two floppy drives capable of writing at + least 720k of data per disk, or, preferably, a + hard disk (see below). + EGA monitor A video monitor capable of displaying EGA + graphics. This almost always includes VGA and + other higher-resolution monitors. CGA and + Hercules monitors won't suffice. + Hard disk A fixed-, removeable-, or network-drive device + capable of storing multiple megabytes of data. + Some programs also assume you have at least one + floppy drive in addition to the hard disk. + + ASP Catalog for BBS Users 4 + + + + Hercules monitor + A video monitor capable of displaying Hercules + graphics. CGA monitors won't suffice. + HP DeskJet A Hewlett-Packard DeskJet or compatible printer. + Some programs may require a DeskJet starting with + a specific model such as the DeskJet Plus or + having a specific feature like a RAM cartridge. + HP LaserJet A Hewlett-Packard LaserJet or compatible printer. + (HP DeskJet printers recognize most, but not all, + of the HP LaserJet command set.) Some programs + may require a LaserJet either starting with a + specific model such as the LaserJet II or having a + specific feature like the LaserJet IIIDSi. + Modem A modem. Almost all programs work with a "Hayes" + modem, specifically one able to recognize the + Hayes command set (an industry standard). A few + programs claim to work with non-Hayes modems too. + Some programs may require the modem to operate at + a specific rate of speed (e.g. "1200 baud"). + Mouse A mouse. + Network A computer hooked up a local area network (LAN) + system. Program descriptions will normally + specify the different types of LAN systems under + which they can operate. + Plotter A plotter output device. Many of the described + programs need a plotter able to recognize the HPGL + (Hewlett Packard Graphics Language) command set. + PostScript printer + A printer able to interpret the PostScript(r) + command set. Many printers (including the HP + LaserJet series) offer PostScript compatibility + via plug-in cartridges. + VGA monitor A video monitor capable of displaying VGA + graphics. This almost always includes super-VGA + and other higher-resolution monitors. CGA/EGA/ + Hercules monitors won't suffice. + SVGA monitor + A video monitor capable of displaying Super-VGA + graphics. This almost always includes higher- + resolution monitors. CGA/EGA/VGA/Hercules + monitors won't suffice. + + + 1.2 Registration benefits + + All ASP member shareware products come with certain minimum + benefits when you register. The author must acknowledge your + registration (you don't just get a canceled check) and must + provide a minimum amount of technical support for at least three + months. + + ASP Catalog for BBS Users 5 + + + + Many authors provide other registration benefits such as a + printed manual, a master disk, a year of unlimited phone support, + source code, etc. The product description will mention them when + appropriate. + + In addition, every ASP member can offer the following benefits to + registered customers: + + CompuServe + IntroPak obtain an introductory membership to the Compu- + Serve network with a $15 usage credit when you + register an ASP member's shareware product. + Shareware + Magazine get a discount when you subscribe to Shareware + Magazine. + + Many authors include this information when they acknowledge + registrations. Contact the author if you need assistance. + + Some authors add "registration reminder screens" to the shareware + version of a program as a way to gently remind people to + register. (The ASP sets ethical standards regarding it.) Almost + all authors will either send a copy of the program without + reminder screens, or will disclose a method to disable the + reminders, once you register the product. + + + 1.3 Sample product description + + This sample description will help you understand what each field + means: + + Product: Shareware Program Name [***] + A "[***]" across from the product name indicates a new or + updated description since the last catalog. + Author: name & phone number of the person or company offering + this product. See Appendix A for detailed information about + the person or company. + Needs: computer type [IBM PC, IBM 80386, MacIntosh, etc.], + operating system, and version number.

Many authors provide + "multi-tier" registrations, and you may pay a little more or + less than the amount stated here depending on your situation. + (You can sometimes save money by "reading the fine print.") + Some authors don't include shipping & handling fees in their + prices. Most authors offer network, site, and corporate + + ASP Catalog for BBS Users 6 + + + + licenses; please contact the author for specific details and + price quotes. + Registration benefits: Describes the benefits you get for regis- + tering the software.

Shareware Professionals + + The Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP) formed in 1987 + to strengthen the future of shareware as an alternative to + traditional (retail) software marketing. It also serves as an + information clearing house for its members and the public at + large. ASP members subscribe to a code of ethics and are + committed to the shareware concept. + + The ASP demands professionalism from its members. Authors must + acknowledge every registration (you get more than just a + canceled check) and they must provide at least three months of + support for their products. ASP members must also live up to + any other benefits they offer. + + You can turn to an ombudsman for help if you can't resolve a + problem with an ASP author or disk vendor. Members must + explain this in every shareware program & disk vendor catalog. + + Few people need the ombudsman's help. ASP members represent + the cream of the crop in the shareware industry, but it's nice + to know you can turn to someone if you think you got a raw + deal. Unfortunately, it happens -- authors have been kicked + out because of repeated complaints. + + The Association monitors Congress for potentially damaging + legislation and has sent spokesmen to testify before + congressional subcommittees. It has also taken on the respon- + sibility of safeguarding the term 'shareware' itself. ASP has + filed motions in countries as far away as England and South + Africa to stop people who attempt to claim it as a trademark + word. + + ASP members 'meet' online in a public forum of the CompuServe + network (GO SHAREWARE). Members send & receive messages, + transmit files, and exchange valuable information. Old hands + in the shareware business pass along their insights to new + members. The group holds public and private debates and + members vote on major issues by sending private messages to the + Association secretary. + + The ASP holds yearly 'face to face' meetings and appears at + various trade shows around the country (including COMDEX and + PC-EXPO). It also provides speakers who lecture on every + aspect of shareware. You can learn more by writing to the + Association of Shareware Professionals, 545 Grover Road, + Muskegon, MI 49442.

Write + to the ASP at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442. + + The programs & services described in this catalog come from + members of the Association of Shareware Professionals. This + catalog may not list every ASP-member product and it may not be + current. Send all comments about the catalog to the above + address, or to CompuServe userID 70007,4004, or as a message in + the CompuServe SHAREWARE forum. + + ASP strives to produce accurate catalogs BUT this publication may + contain any number of typographical, graphical, printing, or + interpretation errors. + + "These programs are produced by members of the Associa- + tion of Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to + make sure that the shareware principle works for you. + If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem + with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, + ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you + resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but + does not provide technical support for members' + products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 + Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a Compuserve + message via Compuserve Mail to ASP Ombuds- + man 70007,3536". The Ombudsman may be contacted by FAX + by sending to the ASP FAX number: (616) 788-2765.

The catalog groups them by subject + matter and lists them alphabetically. If you want to know the + name/address/phone for the author of a particular program, turn + to the index and look for the program by name. You'll usually + see two page references: one describes the page where you read + about the program, the other mentions the page where you can find + information about the author (in Appendix A). Just turn to the + appropriate page and scan for the name of the program. + + The Association of Shareware Professionals does NOT rate members' + software for functionality or usefulness, nor can it attest to + the validity of any product description in this catalog. That is + for you - the user - to decide. Shareware, especially those + products authorized to carry the ASP logo, can be tested on a + "try before you buy" basis. If the software doesn't meet your + needs, you won't have to worry about getting a refund. (That's + the beauty of the shareware marketing concept.) + + + 1.1 Minimum requirements + + Every program description lists its computer and operating system + requirements (e.g. "IBM PC, DOS 2.0 or better"). Unless noted + otherwise, each program assumes you have a standard keyboard, + monitor, printer, and either two floppy drives or a hard disk. + And unless noted otherwise, programs written for the IBM PC + assume you have at least 512k of total installed RAM. Many pro- + grams may also need specific hardware or software such as: + CD-ROM drive + A device capable of reading CD-ROMs. A CD-ROM + looks just like a regular compact disk with music + on it, but it has information on it only a + computer's CD-ROM drive can read. + CGA monitor A video monitor capable of displaying CGA + graphics. This includes most "laptop CGA" + computers, plus higher resolution monitors such as + the EGA or VGA. Some (but not all) of the + described programs may operate correctly with a + Hercules monitor if you use a "CGA simulator" + program; consult your video monitor manual for + details. + Dual 720k disk drives + At least two floppy drives capable of writing at + least 720k of data per disk, or, preferably, a + hard disk (see below). + + ASP Catalog for BBS Users (Master Edition) 4 + + + + EGA monitor A video monitor capable of displaying EGA + graphics. This almost always includes VGA and + other higher-resolution monitors. CGA and + Hercules monitors won't suffice. + EMS memory Memory accessible via the Lotus-Intel-Microsoft + Expanded Memory Specification. Not to be confused + with expanded memory, extended memory, or XMS + memory (see below). Windows, OS/2, and newer + versions of DOS come with software designed to + implement EMS memory on computers with enough + installed memory. + Epson printer + A printer capable of recognizing the Epson print + command set (an industry standard). Some + printers, including some laser printers, have + options to behave like an Epson printer. Some + programs may require a specific model such as the + Epson MX-80 or FX-100. + Hard disk A fixed-, removable-, or network-drive device + capable of storing multiple megabytes of data. + Some programs also assume you have at least one + floppy drive in addition to the hard disk. + Hercules monitor + A video monitor capable of displaying Hercules + graphics. CGA, EGA, VGA, & SVGA monitors won't + suffice. + HP DeskJet A Hewlett-Packard DeskJet or compatible printer. + Some programs may require a DeskJet starting with + a specific model such as the DeskJet Plus or + having a specific feature like a RAM cartridge. + HP LaserJet A Hewlett-Packard LaserJet or compatible printer. + (HP DeskJet printers recognize most, but not all, + of the HP LaserJet command set.) Some programs + may require a specific model such as the LaserJet + II or with a specific feature like the LaserJet + IIIDSi. + Math coprocessor + An IBM PC or compatible computer with an installed + math coprocessor unit. Commonly referred to as an + "80x87 chip," these include the 8087, 80287, and + 80387 coprocessors. (80486- and Pentium-based + computers have math coprocessors by default.) + Most 8086-, 80286-, and 80386-based IBM PCs & + compatibles have no installed math coprocessor by + default. (80286- and 80386-based computers can + accept a math coprocessor if you purchase one.) + Modem A modem. Almost all programs work with a "Hayes + compatible" modem, specifically one able to + recognize the Hayes command set (an industry + standard). A few programs claim to work with non- + Hayes modems too. Some programs may require the + modem to operate at a specific rate of speed (e.g. + "1200 baud"). + Mouse A Logitec- or Microsoft-compatible mouse. + + ASP Catalog for BBS Users (Master Edition) 5 + + + + Network A computer hooked up a local area network (LAN). + Program descriptions will normally specify the + different types of LAN systems under which they + can operate. + Plotter A plotter output device. Many of the described + programs need a plotter able to recognize the HPGL + (Hewlett Packard Graphics Language) command set. + PostScript printer + A printer able to interpret the PostScriptr + command set. Many printers (including the HP + LaserJet series) offer PostScript compatibility + via plug-in cartridges. Software also exists to + emulate PostScript on hundreds of popular + printers. + SVGA monitor + A video monitor capable of displaying SVGA + graphics. This almost always includes higher- + resolution monitors. CGA, EGA, VGA, and Hercules + monitors won't suffice. + Streaming tape device + A device capable of reading streaming tapes. Also + referred to as a "tape backup device." Streaming + tapes look something like a standard music + cassette or videocassette, but it holds + information only a computer can read. Common + streaming tapes include DC600, DC2000, DC2120; + tape storage formats include QIC-40 and QIC-80. + VGA monitor A video monitor capable of displaying VGA + graphics. This almost always includes higher- + resolution monitors. CGA, EGA, and Hercules + monitors won't suffice. + XMS memory Memory accessible via the Lotus-Intel-Microsoft + eXtended Memory Specification. Not to be confused + with expanded memory, extended memory, or EMS + memory (see above). Windows, OS/2, and newer + versions of DOS come with software designed to + implement XMS memory on computers with enough + installed memory. + + + 1.2 Registration benefits + + All ASP member shareware products come with certain minimum + benefits when you register. The author must acknowledge your + registration (you don't just get a canceled check) and must + provide a minimum amount of technical support for at least three + months. + + Many authors provide other registration benefits such as a + printed manual, a master disk, a year of unlimited phone support, + source code, etc. The product description will mention them when + appropriate. + + ASP Catalog for BBS Users (Master Edition) 6 + + + + In addition, every ASP member can offer the following benefits to + registered customers: + + CompuServe + IntroPak obtain an introductory membership to the Compu- + Serve network with a $15 usage credit when you + register an ASP member's shareware product. + + Many authors include this information when they acknowledge + registrations. Contact the author if you need assistance. + + Some authors add "registration reminder screens" to the shareware + version of a program as a way to gently remind people to + register. (The ASP sets ethical standards regarding it.) Almost + all authors will either send a copy of the program without + reminder screens, or will disclose a method to disable the + reminders, once you register the product. + + + 1.3 Sample product description + + This sample description will help you understand what each field + means: + + Product: Shareware Program Name [***] + A "[***]" across from the product name indicates a new or + updated description since the last catalog. + Author: name & phone number of the person or company offering + this product. See Appendix A for detailed information about + the person or company. + Version: version number (release date) + Needs: computer type [IBM PC, IBM 80386, Macintosh, etc.], + operating system, and version number. May also describe other + needed or recommended hardware & software. See above for more + details. + Registration fee: The cost of a single user license, expressed + in U.S. currency unless otherwise noted. Many authors provide + "multi-tier" registrations, and you may pay a little more or + less than the amount stated here depending on your situation. + (You can often save money by "reading the fine print.") Some + authors include shipping & handling fees in the prices while + others don't. Most authors offer network, site, and corporate + licenses for a higher fee; please contact the author in + question for details and price quotes. + SWREG#: applies only to CompuServe users. You can register this + product on CompuServe and have the cost added to your service + bill. This method of payment proves especially useful for (1) + overseas users who don't have a credit card accepted by the + author; and (2) business customers who find it easier to + register shareware by tacking the fee onto a corporate- + + ASP Catalog for BBS Users (Master Edition) 7 + + + + sponsored CompuServe account. CompuServe users should GO + CIS:SWREG for more details. + PsL#: you can register this product via the Public (software) + Library, and you can pay for it with your MasterCard, Visa, + American Express, Optima, or Discover card. Call (800) + 242-4775, have your credit card handy, and have the product's + PsL registration number handy. (Overseas customers should call + U.S. 713-524-6394.) Or if you want to fax your shareware + purchase order to PsL, fax it to (713) 524-6398. + Registration benefits: Describes the benefits you get for regis- + tering the software. All ASP shareware programs come with cer- + tain minimum benefits (see above for details). + Look for: FILENAME.EXT on BBSs (call xxx-xxx-xxxx to download it + at no charge); FNAME.EXT in GATE:FORUM forum LIB 9 on Compu- + Serve (or contact userID 78901,2345 for assistance); FILE- + NAME.EXT in ROUNDTABLE RTC LIB 9 on GEnie (or contact userID + J.QAUTHOR for assistance). + Download size: the size of the file(s) to download, in + kilobytes. A 2400 baud modem can download about 14 kilobytes + per minute under normal conditions. + Special instructions: tells if the author limits product + distribution to the United States. In some cases the author or + company may have signed a contract forbidding worldwide share- + ware distribution. In other cases the product may only appeal + to an American audience (income tax software for example). In + rare cases, U.S. federal laws may actually prohibit the author + or company from distributing the product in other countries. + Editor's note: the catalog editor may append text of his own if + something needs further explanation. + Description: a paragraph or two of text which describes the + shareware product in detail. This information comes direct + from the author or company behind the program. + + Chapter 1, "Shareware Products" 8 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + PART 1 + Shareware Products + + Chapter 2, "Utilities" 9 + + + + + + Chapter 2 + Utilities + + + 2.1 Disk utilities + + Product: 4DOS + Replacement for traditional command processor.

Shareware Professionals + + The Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP) formed in 1987 + to strengthen the future of shareware as an alternative to + traditional (retail) software marketing. It also serves as an + information clearing house for its members and the public at + large. ASP members subscribe to a code of ethics and are + committed to the shareware concept. + + The ASP demands professionalism from its members. Authors must + acknowledge every registration (you get more than just a + canceled check) and they must provide at least three months of + support for their products. ASP members must also live up to + any other benefits they offer. + + You can turn to an ombudsman for help if you can't resolve a + problem with an ASP author or disk vendor. Members must + explain this in every shareware program & disk vendor catalog. + + Few people need the ombudsman's help. ASP members represent + the cream of the crop in the shareware industry, but it's nice + to know you can turn to someone if you think you got a raw + deal. Unfortunately, it happens - authors have been kicked out + because of repeated complaints. + + The Association monitors Congress for potentially damaging + legislation and has sent spokesmen to testify before + congressional subcommittees. It has also taken on the respon- + sibility of safeguarding the term 'shareware' itself. ASP has + filed motions in countries as far away as England and South + Africa to stop people who attempt to claim it as a trademark + word. + + ASP members 'meet' online in a public forum of the CompuServe + network (GO SHAREWARE). Members send & receive messages, + transmit files, and exchange valuable information. Old hands + in the shareware business pass along their insights to new + members. The group holds public and private debates and + members vote on major issues by sending private messages to the + Association secretary. + + The ASP holds yearly 'face to face' meetings and appears at + various trade shows around the country (including COMDEX and + PC-EXPO). It also provides speakers who lecture on every + aspect of shareware. You can learn more by writing to the + Association of Shareware Professionals, 545 Grover Road, + Muskegon, MI 49442. If you have a modem and a CompuServe + + Chapter 18, "About shareware" 635 + + + + account, you can log on and go to the SHAREWARE forum for more + information. + + + Product: ASP List of Approved BBSs + Author: Association of Shareware Professionals, 616-788-5131 + Look for: availability unknown on BBSs; ASPBBS.ZIP on CompuServe + in CIS:ASPFORUM forum LIBrary 2 (or contact userID 72050,1433 + for assistance). + Download size: 65k (about five minutes with a 2400 baud modem) + Description: + A complete list of ASP Approved BBSs.

This + catalog may not list every ASP-member product and it may not be + current. Send all comments about the catalog to the above + address, or to CompuServe userID 70007,4004, or as a message in + the CompuServe SHAREWARE forum. + + ASP strives to produce accurate catalogs BUT this publication may + contain any number of typographical, graphical, printing, or + interpretation errors. + + "These programs are produced by members of the Associa- + tion of Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to + make sure that the shareware principle works for you. + If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem + with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, + ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you + resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but + does not provide technical support for members' + products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 + Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a Compuserve + message via Compuserve Mail to ASP Ombuds- + man 70007,3536". The Ombudsman may be contacted by FAX + by sending to the ASP FAX number: (616) 788-2765. In + communication with the Ombudsman please include a tele- + phone number and/or FAX if available. + + Please write to the ASP at the above address if you have any + comments or questions about this catalog. + + ASP Catalog for BBS Users (Master Edition) 3 + + + + + + Chapter 1 + How to read this catalog + + ASP members have supplied product descriptions for each shareware + application they offer. The catalog groups them by subject + matter and lists them alphabetically. If you want to know the + name/address/phone for the author of a particular program, turn + to the index and look for the program by name. You'll usually + see two page references: one describes the page where you read + about the program, the other mentions the page where you can find + information about the author (in Appendix A). Just turn to the + appropriate page and scan for the name of the program. + + The Association of Shareware Professionals does NOT rate members' + software for functionality or usefulness, nor can it attest to + the validity of any product description in this catalog. That is + for you - the user - to decide. Shareware, especially those + products authorized to carry the ASP logo, can be tested on a + "try before you buy" basis. If the software doesn't meet your + needs, you won't have to worry about getting a refund. (That's + the beauty of the shareware marketing concept.) + + + 1.1 Minimum requirements + + Every program description lists its computer and operating system + requirements (e.g. "IBM PC, DOS 2.0 or better"). Unless noted + otherwise, each program assumes you have a standard keyboard, + monitor, printer, and either two floppy drives or a hard disk. + And unless noted otherwise, programs written for the IBM PC + assume you have at least 512k of total installed RAM. Many pro- + grams may also need specific hardware or software such as: + CD-ROM drive + A device capable of reading CD-ROMs. A CD-ROM + looks just like a regular compact disk with music + on it, but it has information on it only a + computer's CD-ROM drive can read. + CGA monitor A video monitor capable of displaying CGA + graphics. This includes most "laptop CGA" + computers, plus higher resolution monitors such as + the EGA or VGA.

Shareware Professionals + + The Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP) formed in 1987 + to strengthen the future of shareware as an alternative to + traditional (retail) software marketing. It also serves as an + information clearing house for its members and the public at + large. ASP members subscribe to a code of ethics and are + committed to the shareware concept. + + The ASP demands professionalism from its members. Authors must + acknowledge every registration (you get more than just a + canceled check) and they must provide at least three months of + support for their products. ASP members must also live up to + any other benefits they offer. + + You can turn to an ombudsman for help if you can't resolve a + problem with an ASP author or disk vendor. Members must + explain this in every shareware program & disk vendor catalog. + + Few people need the ombudsman's help. ASP members represent + the cream of the crop in the shareware industry, but it's nice + to know you can turn to someone if you think you got a raw + deal. Unfortunately, it happens - authors have been kicked out + because of repeated complaints. + + The Association monitors Congress for potentially damaging + legislation and has sent spokesmen to testify before + congressional subcommittees. It has also taken on the respon- + sibility of safeguarding the term 'shareware' itself. ASP has + filed motions in countries as far away as England and South + Africa to stop people who attempt to claim it as a trademark + word. + + ASP members 'meet' online in a public forum of the CompuServe + network (GO SHAREWARE). Members send & receive messages, + transmit files, and exchange valuable information. Old hands + in the shareware business pass along their insights to new + members. The group holds public and private debates and + members vote on major issues by sending private messages to the + Association secretary. + + The ASP holds yearly 'face to face' meetings and appears at + various trade shows around the country (including COMDEX and + PC-EXPO). It also provides speakers who lecture on every + aspect of shareware. You can learn more by writing to the + Association of Shareware Professionals, 545 Grover Road, + Muskegon, MI 49442.

For-profit disk vendor companies + may distribute this document in electronic form if they have an + ASP associate membership and if they charge only their normal + distribution fees. All others must obtain prior written per- + mission from the Association of Shareware Professionals. Write + to the ASP at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442. + + The programs & services described in this catalog come from + members of the Association of Shareware Professionals. This + catalog may not list every ASP-member product and it may not be + current. Send all comments about the catalog to the above + address, or to CompuServe userID 70007,4004, or as a message in + the CompuServe SHAREWARE forum. + + ASP strives to produce accurate catalogs BUT this publication may + contain any number of typographical, graphical, printing, or + interpretation errors. + + "These programs are produced by members of the Associa- + tion of Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to + make sure that the shareware principle works for you. + If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem + with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, + ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you + resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but + does not provide technical support for members' + products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 + Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a Compuserve + message via Compuserve Mail to ASP Ombuds- + man 70007,3536". The Ombudsman may be contacted by FAX + by sending to the ASP FAX number: (616) 788-2765. In + communication with the Ombudsman please include a tele- + phone number and/or FAX if available. + + Please write to the ASP at the above address if you have any + comments or questions about this catalog. + + ASP Catalog for BBS Users (Master Edition) 2 + + + + + + Chapter 1 + How to read this catalog + + ASP members have supplied product descriptions for each shareware + application they offer. The catalog groups them by subject + matter and lists them alphabetically. If you want to know the + name/address/phone for the author of a particular program, turn + to the index and look for the program by name. You'll usually + see two page references: one describes the page where you read + about the program, the other mentions the page where you can find + information about the author (in Appendix A). Just turn to the + appropriate page and scan for the name of the program. + + The Association of Shareware Professionals does NOT rate members' + software for functionality or usefulness, nor can it attest to + the validity of any product description in this catalog. That is + for you - the user - to decide. Shareware, especially those + products authorized to carry the ASP logo, can be tested on a + "try before you buy" basis. If the software doesn't meet your + needs, you won't have to worry about getting a refund. (That's + the beauty of the shareware marketing concept.) + + + 1.1 Minimum requirements + + Every program description lists its computer and operating system + requirements (e.g. "IBM PC, DOS 2.0 or better"). Unless noted + otherwise, each program assumes you have a standard keyboard, + monitor, printer, and either two floppy drives or a hard disk. + And unless noted otherwise, programs written for the IBM PC + assume you have at least 512k of total installed RAM. Many pro- + grams may also need specific hardware or software such as: + CD-ROM drive + A device capable of reading CD-ROMs. A CD-ROM + looks just like a regular compact disk with music + on it, but it has information on it only a + computer's CD-ROM drive can read. + CGA monitor A video monitor capable of displaying CGA + graphics. This includes most "laptop CGA" + computers, plus higher resolution monitors such as + the EGA or VGA. Some (but not all) of the + described programs may operate correctly with a + Hercules monitor if you use a "CGA simulator" + program; consult your video monitor manual for + details. + Dual 720k disk drives + At least two floppy drives capable of writing at + least 720k of data per disk, or, preferably, a + hard disk (see below). + + ASP Catalog for BBS Users (Master Edition) 3 + + + + EGA monitor A video monitor capable of displaying EGA + graphics. This almost always includes VGA and + other higher-resolution monitors. CGA and + Hercules monitors won't suffice. + EMS memory Memory accessible via the Lotus-Intel-Microsoft + Expanded Memory Specification. Not to be confused + with expanded memory, extended memory, or XMS + memory (see below). Windows, OS/2, and newer + versions of DOS come with software designed to + implement EMS memory on computers with enough + installed memory. + Epson printer + A printer capable of recognizing the Epson print + command set (an industry standard). Some + printers, including some laser printers, have + options to behave like an Epson printer. Some + programs may require a specific model such as the + Epson MX-80 or FX-100. + Hard disk A fixed-, removable-, or network-drive device + capable of storing multiple megabytes of data. + Some programs also assume you have at least one + floppy drive in addition to the hard disk. + Hercules monitor + A video monitor capable of displaying Hercules + graphics. CGA, EGA, VGA, & SVGA monitors won't + suffice. + HP DeskJet A Hewlett-Packard DeskJet or compatible printer. + Some programs may require a DeskJet starting with + a specific model such as the DeskJet Plus or + having a specific feature like a RAM cartridge. + HP LaserJet A Hewlett-Packard LaserJet or compatible printer. + (HP DeskJet printers recognize most, but not all, + of the HP LaserJet command set.) Some programs + may require a specific model such as the LaserJet + II or with a specific feature like the LaserJet + IIIDSi. + Math coprocessor + An IBM PC or compatible computer with an installed + math coprocessor unit. Commonly referred to as an + "80x87 chip," these include the 8087, 80287, and + 80387 coprocessors. (80486- and Pentium-based + computers have math coprocessors by default.) + Most 8086-, 80286-, and 80386-based IBM PCs & + compatibles have no installed math coprocessor by + default. (80286- and 80386-based computers can + accept a math coprocessor if you purchase one.) + Modem A modem. Almost all programs work with a "Hayes + compatible" modem, specifically one able to + recognize the Hayes command set (an industry + standard). A few programs claim to work with non- + Hayes modems too. Some programs may require the + modem to operate at a specific rate of speed (e.g. + "1200 baud"). + Mouse A Logitec- or Microsoft-compatible mouse. + + ASP Catalog for BBS Users (Master Edition) 4 + + + + Network A computer hooked up a local area network (LAN). + Program descriptions will normally specify the + different types of LAN systems under which they + can operate. + Plotter A plotter output device. Many of the described + programs need a plotter able to recognize the HPGL + (Hewlett Packard Graphics Language) command set. + PostScript printer + A printer able to interpret the PostScriptr + command set. Many printers (including the HP + LaserJet series) offer PostScript compatibility + via plug-in cartridges. Software also exists to + emulate PostScript on hundreds of popular + printers. + SVGA monitor + A video monitor capable of displaying SVGA + graphics. This almost always includes higher- + resolution monitors. CGA, EGA, VGA, and Hercules + monitors won't suffice. + Streaming tape device + A device capable of reading streaming tapes. Also + referred to as a "tape backup device." Streaming + tapes look something like a standard music + cassette or videocassette, but it holds + information only a computer can read. Common + streaming tapes include DC600, DC2000, DC2120; + tape storage formats include QIC-40 and QIC-80. + VGA monitor A video monitor capable of displaying VGA + graphics. This almost always includes higher- + resolution monitors. CGA, EGA, and Hercules + monitors won't suffice. + XMS memory Memory accessible via the Lotus-Intel-Microsoft + eXtended Memory Specification. Not to be confused + with expanded memory, extended memory, or EMS + memory (see above). Windows, OS/2, and newer + versions of DOS come with software designed to + implement XMS memory on computers with enough + installed memory. + + + 1.2 Registration benefits + + All ASP member shareware products come with certain minimum + benefits when you register. The author must acknowledge your + registration (you don't just get a canceled check) and must + provide a minimum amount of technical support for at least three + months. + + Many authors provide other registration benefits such as a + printed manual, a master disk, a year of unlimited phone support, + source code, etc. The product description will mention them when + appropriate. + + ASP Catalog for BBS Users (Master Edition) 5 + + + + In addition, every ASP member can offer the following benefits to + registered customers: + + CompuServe + IntroPak obtain an introductory membership to the Compu- + Serve network with a $15 usage credit when you + register an ASP member's shareware product. + + Many authors include this information when they acknowledge + registrations. Contact the author if you need assistance. + + Some authors add "registration reminder screens" to the shareware + version of a program as a way to gently remind people to + register. (The ASP sets ethical standards regarding it.) Almost + all authors will either send a copy of the program without + reminder screens, or will disclose a method to disable the + reminders, once you register the product. + + + 1.3 Sample product description + + This sample description will help you understand what each field + means: + + Product: Shareware Program Name [***] + A "[***]" across from the product name indicates a new or + updated description since the last catalog. + Author: name & phone number of the person or company offering + this product. See Appendix A for detailed information about + the person or company. + Version: version number (release date) + Needs: computer type [IBM PC, IBM 80386, Macintosh, etc.], + operating system, and version number. May also describe other + needed or recommended hardware & software. See above for more + details. + Registration fee: The cost of a single user license, expressed + in U.S. currency unless otherwise noted. Many authors provide + "multi-tier" registrations, and you may pay a little more or + less than the amount stated here depending on your situation. + (You can often save money by "reading the fine print.") Some + authors include shipping & handling fees in the prices while + others don't. Most authors offer network, site, and corporate + licenses for a higher fee; please contact the author in + question for details and price quotes. + SWREG#: applies only to CompuServe users. You can register this + product on CompuServe and have the cost added to your service + bill. This method of payment proves especially useful for (1) + overseas users who don't have a credit card accepted by the + author; and (2) business customers who find it easier to + register shareware by tacking the fee onto a corporate- + + ASP Catalog for BBS Users (Master Edition) 6 + + + + sponsored CompuServe account. CompuServe users should GO + CIS:SWREG for more details. + PsL#: you can register this product via the Public (software) + Library, and you can pay for it with your MasterCard, Visa, + American Express, Optima, or Discover card. Call (800) + 242-4775, have your credit card handy, and have the product's + PsL registration number handy. (Overseas customers should call + U.S. 713-524-6394.) Or if you want to fax your shareware + purchase order to PsL, fax it to (713) 524-6398. + Registration benefits: Describes the benefits you get for regis- + tering the software.

A 2400 baud modem can download about 14 kilobytes + per minute under normal conditions. + Special instructions: tells if the author limits product + distribution to the United States. In some cases the author or + company may have signed a contract forbidding worldwide share- + ware distribution. In other cases the product may only appeal + to an American audience (income tax software for example). In + rare cases, U.S. federal laws may actually prohibit the author + or company from distributing the product in other countries. + Editor's note: the catalog editor may append text of his own if + something needs further explanation. + Description: a paragraph or two of text which describes the + shareware product in detail. This information comes direct + from the author or company behind the program. + + Chapter 1, "Shareware Products" 7 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + PART 1 + Shareware Products + + Chapter 2, "Utilities" 8 + + + + + + Chapter 2 + Utilities + + + 2.1 Disk utilities + + Product: 4DOS + Replacement for traditional command processor.

Shareware Professionals + + The Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP) formed in 1987 + to strengthen the future of shareware as an alternative to + traditional (retail) software marketing. It also serves as an + information clearing house for its members and the public at + large. ASP members subscribe to a code of ethics and are + committed to the shareware concept. + + The ASP demands professionalism from its members. Authors must + acknowledge every registration (you get more than just a + canceled check) and they must provide at least three months of + support for their products. ASP members must also live up to + any other benefits they offer. + + You can turn to an ombudsman for help if you can't resolve a + problem with an ASP author or disk vendor. Members must + explain this in every shareware program & disk vendor catalog. + + Few people need the ombudsman's help. ASP members represent + the cream of the crop in the shareware industry, but it's nice + to know you can turn to someone if you think you got a raw + deal. Unfortunately, it happens - authors have been kicked out + because of repeated complaints. + + The Association monitors Congress for potentially damaging + legislation and has sent spokesmen to testify before + congressional subcommittees. It has also taken on the respon- + sibility of safeguarding the term 'shareware' itself. ASP has + filed motions in countries as far away as England and South + Africa to stop people who attempt to claim it as a trademark + word. + + ASP members 'meet' online in a public forum of the CompuServe + network (GO SHAREWARE). Members send & receive messages, + transmit files, and exchange valuable information. Old hands + in the shareware business pass along their insights to new + members. The group holds public and private debates and + members vote on major issues by sending private messages to the + Association secretary. + + The ASP holds yearly 'face to face' meetings and appears at + various trade shows around the country (including COMDEX and + PC-EXPO). It also provides speakers who lecture on every + aspect of shareware. You can learn more by writing to the + Association of Shareware Professionals, 545 Grover Road, + Muskegon, MI 49442.

If that news comes as a surprise, + there's no need to be embarrassed; you apparently have a lot of + company. + + According to Alex Papakyriakou, general manager of International + Battery Corp. (IBC) (Reseda, Calif.), a sizable number of IBM PC AT + owners -- including some large-scale corporate buyers -- are just + realizing this because the batteries are beginning to fail. This + causes the loss of not only time and date information but also + internally stored configuration information like the machine's memory + size and type and number of disk drives. + + When a PC AT's battery fades out, you are forced to enter the + configuration info each time you start the system -- a tedious process + that leads to a quick search for a replacement battery. The + difficulty users face in finding the batteries is what got IBC into + the AT battery business. + + IBC was getting requests for the 6-volt lithium units and couldn't + find a supplier until they came across Tadiran, a major battery + manufacturer headquartered in Israel. + + IBC obtained exclusive rights to aftermarkets sales of Tadiran's + AT-compatible batteries and is selling them by mail order for $27.50, + which Papakyriakou claims is $15 less than IBM sells them for. But + IBC is likely to have competition soon in this lucrative market. The + market-research firm Dataquest (San Jose, Calif.) estimates there will + be more than one million IBM AT's in use by the end of 1986, each + having a battery that runs out of juice every one to three years. + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/textfiles.com/computers/auping.asc b/textfiles.com/computers/auping.asc new file mode 100644 index 00000000..e46d339d --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/computers/auping.asc @@ -0,0 +1,384 @@ +_MAKING THE MOVE TO MODULA-2_ +by J.V.

Each was passed by at least a 2/3 vote of those +members voting and is binding on all authors. They consist of a support +policy, a policy on payments, a policy on no crippled software, an +Ombudsman policy and some miscellaneous items: + + + **** ASP SOFTWARE SUPPORT POLICY **** + +1. All ASP members' shareware products must provide support (included in the +purchase price) for a minimum of three months from the date of registration. +If the support is by telephone, there may be a limitation on BOTH the total +connect time and the period after purchase during which it is available +without additional cost so long as the connect time is at least 30 minutes +during the required three months. Support may be provided for a fee after +this initial period has elapsed. The support policy must be clearly stated in +the shareware documentation. + +2. Support during the initial period may be one or more of the following: + + - mail support + + - telephone support (if this is the only support provided, at a + minimum an answering machine must be available 4 hours per day; this + support may be limited to thirty minutes of connect time at the + option of the author) + + - for communications products, or ones associated to a communication + product by BBS or major communications service + + - by any alternate method approved by the Board of Directors by a two + thirds vote (of those directors voting) + +3. The minimum level of support required by this policy involves answering +questions and fixing serious bugs during the minimum three month period. For +problems involving a specific hardware or software environment or feature, the +author may choose not to modify the program. In that case, if the report is +within three months after purchase, then the author shall offer to refund the +user's purchase price. + +4. Any money sent to an author to register an unsupported product shall be +promptly returned with an explanation that the product in question is no +longer supported. + +5. Known incompatibilities with other software or hardware and major or +unusual program limitations are noted in the documentation that comes with +the shareware (evaluation) program. + + + + **** ASP REGISTRATION PAYMENT POLICY ***** + +1. The Documentation must clearly describe how to register the product and +what goods and/or services the user will receive for registering. + +2. Fees must be expressed in fixed monetary amounts. Voluntary payments or +contributions may not be solicited, although phrasing such as "if you use +and like this product, please register" is allowed. + +3. Multiple levels of registration may be set, as long as each level +individually satisfies the above two requirements. + + + **** ASP POLICY ON NO CRIPPLING **** + +The principle behind shareware is "try before you buy." ASP believes that +users have a right to try a fully functioning shareware program in their +regular computing environment. Accordingly, ASP authors agree that: + + (1) The executable files (and/or items linked in with executables) + in their shareware and registered versions will be the same (with + the exceptions noted below) + + (2) All the program's features will be fully documented. + + (3) Registration encouragement procedures which in the judgment of + the Board are either unreasonable or unprofessional are not allowed. + + Registration Reminder Screens should (if used): + + 1) be displayed no more than twice each time the program + runs (or twice per day for long-running programs such as + TSR's). + + 2) not require more than two keystrokes to bypass. + + 3) not have a forced minimum display time of more than three + seconds. In other words, the RRS itself should not take + control of the computer away from the user for more than + three seconds. + + Practices such as creating undocumented hidden files or printing + a registration form without the user's knowledge or consent are + prohibited. It is NOT necessary to have any of the above as a + simple "Strike Any Key To Continue" is the least objectional to + the user. + + (4) Solicitation of sales of a non-shareware version (NSV) of a + shareware program may be made in the evaluation version only if it + meets the following guidelines: + + (a) Features of the NSV not in the shareware version must not be + detailed in the body of the documentation. An appendix or + separate file listing the features may be used. + + (b) The shareware version may not present any features of the NSV + during its operation such as in stubbed-out menus or in on-line + help. A solicitation of the NSV and its features may be + presented in any Registration Reminder Screens and on order + forms. + + (c) The names of the NSV and the shareware program must be + distinctly different. Suffixes such as 'Plus', 'Pro', + 'Gold', 'LAN', etc. meet this distinction. Numeric version + or suffix numbers do not meet this distinction. + + (d) The shareware version may not be designed or implemented in + such a fashion that, in the opinion of 60% of the Board of + Directors, it gives the user the impression that the + shareware version's major purpose is to sell copies of the NSV. + + +Exceptions to a strict interpretation of this policy are as follows: + + - to save disk space, tutorial and additional explanatory + material may be left out of the shareware documentation. + + - the shareware version may have registration encouragement + procedures absent from the registered version (or which can be + disabled with a code only provided to registered users). + + - the registered version may include sample files not included + in the shareware version. + + - if source code is offered with the registered version, + it may be withheld from the shareware version. + + - the author may provide two shareware versions: one a small + version which the author designates the distributed version + in normal circumstances (e.g. language tools in C only + available in one model) so long as the full shareware version + is available from some public source (possibly for a small + distribution fee) and may be copied for trial purposes. + The small version's documentation must clearly describe + how users may obtain the full shareware version. + + - registered users may be provided bonus utilities unrelated to + (and which do not change) the basic functionality of the program + + - registered users may be given utilities which provide a + convenience but which are not essential + + - exceptions approved by the ASP board of directors + by a 60% vote of those voting + + - It is an acceptable registration incentive to market the first + product of a series as shareware and use the remaining products as + registration incentives, so long as the remaining products are + merely "more of the same" when compared to the first product. The + author may charge a single registration fee for the set, or may use + varying levels of registration to allow customers to obtain the + original product and/or remaining products. + + + **** ASP OMBUDSMAN POLICY **** + +1. The board shall set up the office of Ombudsman and appoint someone to + that position. The Ombudsman's sole role shall be to mediate disputes + between ASP members and their customers. The Ombudsman shall report + to the board situations where he feels board action or knowledge is + appropriate. + +2. All ASP members and vendor associate members are required to cooperate + with the Ombudsman when approached by him/her. + +3. The Shareware version of any shareware program produced by ASP author + members must contain the following text as part of some file on the + disk. (The shareware version means the one intended for trial use). + + "This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware + Professionals (ASP).

Inclusion of Ombudsman statement. + + a. The Ombudsman statement shall be included in the shareware version + in a location clearly accessible to the evaluator. + + b. Any registered versions which contain reference to the ASP or use + the ASP logo must contain the Ombudsman statement but they may be + in a written form rather than on disk. + + c. If the ASP logo or name is used by any ASP approved vendor in any + ads/catalogs etc , then that vendor must include the OMB + statement with their catalogs and newsletters and is encouraged + to include it with any disks sold containing ASP member programs. + + d. Members are free to include the Ombudsman statement in printed + documentation, ads and other mailings if they wish. + +5. The first sentence may be replaced by " is a member of + the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP)."

The Ombudsman statement may not be hidden in a file or other manner + which 60% of the board of directors regards as obscure. + +8.

I have actually seen these +combinations of letters used at one time or another in magazines, +newspapers or handbooks. They apply to personal computers, +mainframes, communications, programming, networking, etc......you +name it. The glossary is free for anyone to use, but with no +guarantees as to its completeness. That is why I am now requesting +your help. Look over the definitions and let me have your +feedback. If you have ever seen letter combinations that you also +did not understand, please drop me a note at the address below. + + Also, if you find any errors, obsolete information or can +suggest any additions or deletions, they will be most welcome. If +you can help, my thanks in advance. + + In the meantime, print out a copy of this version and keep it +on your desk. I know you will find it useful. Updates to this +glossary will be issued three times a year; in January, May and +September. You may download the latest version of BABEL from your +favorite BBS or from The Internet. If any Bulletin Board SYSOP, +Club Librarian, Organization or Teacher sends me a formatted disk +with a disk mailer, stamped with return postage, I will return the +disk with the latest updated version of BABEL at no charge.

The source of this info is +various magazines, and I have paraphrased the articles. + +Note that "back door" refers NOT to regular game hints on +how to play better, but to a way to CHEAT, usually put +there by the programmer, sometimes caused by a bug. Usually +you'll be made invincible if it's an arcade-type game, or +be able to advance quicker if an adventure game. + +Most of these "back door" and "side door" hints are out of +a GREAT magazine for the Amiga, C64, and C128: INFO. +It's a grass-roots, down to earth magazine - the first +magazine about personal computers to be be entirely done on +personal computers. That's "Where It's At". + +You owe it to yourself to subscribe to INFO. +With the exception of most of the ads, everything including +color screen shots and photos are digitally created, edited, +composed, printed, and color separated as complete assembled +pages on 14 Amiga computers running Professional Page (and +many many other Amiga software products), and output to a +Linotronic L300 typesetting device at 1235 dots per inch! +INFO doesn't cover programming techniques, but in my opinion +it out-shines all the other Commodore mags for news, honest +opinion, game reviews, and reviews of all C= software. + +George Knochel, Lakewood Colorado + + + +ALL GAMES: connect a genlock to the Amiga and leave it on +while playing games, and they'll play 25% slower, which +allows you to score high. + + + +ARKANOID + +Get into the back door this way: boot and run the game as +usual, then select a start screen and begin game. Press the +space bar to pause, and type in DSIMAGIC (no spaces, and +don't press Return). Press the space bar to unpause. + +Now a yellow Power capsule named DS will fall down. Catch +it. Now you can get any power capsule you want any time. +Press the first letter of the capsule you want, and it will +fall down for you to catch: + Break Catch Disruption Expand Laser Player Slow +Catch some Player capsules first to get extra lives. + +You can also use two capsules at the same time, like Disrupt +the ball into three balls, and use Lasers also. + +Pressing the F key will send you to the Finsl screen where +you fight DOH, the Dominion Over Hour monster on the cover + of the package. You'll need lots of lives first. + +Skip over any screen by pressing Enter on the keypad, or +get through the screen fast (with points too) using a Break +capsule. + + + +ARKANOID II + +On the high score screen, type in the name DEBBIE S +(with the space), and you'll have infinite lives. + + + +BARBARIAN + +Boot and run the game as usual, but at some point after the +game has started, type in: 04-08-59 ...It will make the +Barbarian character almost invincible, but he can still be +killed by very high falls, and by the flame-hurling horned +demon in the dungeon deep, pictured on the cover. + +After you type 04-08-59 the screen will turn gray, telling +you that you're invincible. + +Once you make it to Necron, you must have a shield. Face +Necron when he turns to face you. When he throws a fireball +at you, press the defense button as it hits your shield. + + + +BARD'S TALE + +How to hoard millions in gold without trying: Load your +party, go to the stats screen for the first player. Pool +all of the party's gold to the first player, then remove +him from the party, then load him back in. Then pool the +gold to another player.

All information contained herein is +accurate to the extent of my knowledge. This file is intended for inform- +ational purposes only and the author (Lord Lawless) is in NO way responsible +for the use of this file for purposes other than the aforementioned. + +Part I: What is Unix? +---------------------- + Unix is an operating system, so designated because it allows a user to +interface with a computer in a way that is (hopefully) easy for the user to +learn and use. Unix can be known by other forms, PC-Unix, Xenix, etc., but +they all basically are the same (with slight differences this file won't go +into) and use the same commands. Unix is a wonderfully simple to use OS once +you begin, and while this file will help you I recommend that you find a Unix +system somewhere and wander around on it to help yourself to learn. To put +this more formally: + +The UNIX system is a set of programs that include a time-sharing +operating system and a set of utility programs. The operating +system has two basic parts: + + 1) The kernel is the program in the UNIX operating system + that is responsible for most operating system functions. It + schedules and manages all the work done by the computer and + maintains the file system. It is always running, and is + invisible to users. + + 2) The shell is the UNIX operating system program responsible + for handling all interaction between users and the computer. + It includes a powerful command language called "shell language"*. + +The utility programs (usually called UNIX commands) are executed +through the shell, and allow users to communicate with each other, +to edit and manipulate files, to write and execute programs in +several programming languages, and many other things. + + +Part II: Recognizing a Unix system +------------------------------------- + When you connect to a Unix system you will see a message usually like +"AT&T Unix: Unauthorized use will be Prosecuted!" or just "Unix System V" or +the like. At the least you will see a prompt saying "login:". At this point, +if possible, make sure that you are in lowercase, because if the computer det- +ects that you are typing in uppercase everything you read after will be in +uppercase with lowercase denoted by a \ in front of the word. This is because +Unix is case sensitive, so be careful, reading lowercase is much easier than +reading all uppercase and slashes. Ok, so here you are at the Unix "login:" +prompt. + +Part III: Logging on +--------------------- + At this point you must enter your login, and then, if the account ( +never more than 14 characters) has one, the password. Now, all Unix systems +have default accounts, and unless set by the Root System Operator no passwords. +This has been the means of infiltration by many the Unix hacker. There are two +types of accounts in a Unix, the "super user" and the "user". The super user +has access to almost everything (or everything depending on the system) and the +user basically has access to the files he owns and what he can sometimes read. +The default super user accounts on a unix are: + +ROOT +MAKEFSYS +MOUNTFSYS +UMOUNTFSYS +CHECKFSYS +and sometimes +ADMIN +SYSADMIN. + +For passwords to these try things like SYSTEM, SYSMAN, SYSADMIN, ADMINISTRATOR, +OPERATOR, SYSOP, etc. +The default user-level accounts are: +LP +DAEMON +TROUBLE +NUUCP +UUCP +RJE +ADM +SYSADM +SYNC +BIN + +(Note: These accounts should be entered in lower case , I merely wrote them +in upper case for easier reference.) +After being on Unix's, I have also seen the following common accounts: +USER +UNIX +GAMES +GUEST +STUDENT -on school run Unix's. + +The maximum length of a password is 11 characters. +After doing all this you should, with luck, be in! +If you couldn't hack anything out, try typing "WHO" at the login: prompt, it +may list all the user accounts and you can try them until you find one without +a password. + +Part IV: You're in!!! +---------------------- + Congratulate yourself, the hardest part of Unix "hacking" is over. Ok, +now that you're in you'll see a prompt which will probably look like "$" for a +user account or "#" if you got lucky and got a super user account. +(Quick note, to stop a unix process in action try typing ctrl-d or control +backspace, these are the end of file/Stop process keys.) +Ok, so you are now in. Let me give a quick lesson on Unix directories. In +Unix, the root is the main directory, and it contains subdirectories which may +contain subdirectories etc. In order to change to the root directory, one +would type "cd /". This is because "cd" is the command "change directory" and +"/" is the root directory. To change to subdirectory "Bill" contained in the +root directory, you would type "cd /Bill" or, if you were in the root dir, just +"cd Bill". If you wanted to access Bill's files, you'd enter "cd /Bill/files" +assuming Bill had a subdir called files where he kept his files. This is how +a person would move around in a Unix sys. Graphically, it looks like this: + + Root + __________!!_________ + !! + __Bill__ + !! + __Files__ + + +Part V: Basic Commands +----------------------- + Ok, these commands are the most useful ones that I've found and can are +entered from the prompt. + +Command:What it does +-------------------- +ls gives a listing of all files in a directory + +cat gives a dump to screen of what is contained in a file. For instance + "cat phones" would show me what is in file "phones". + +cd change directory + +pwd shows what directory path you are in now + +ps shows system processes + +rm remove a file, for instance "rm phones". + +rmdir removes a directory, for instance "rm Bill". + +grep print ascii strings in a file, ie "grep phones" + +who shows who's on the system + +mail sends mail to a user, syntax mail + +su change from 1 account to another. For instance, if you are account + Bill and wish to change to account Jake (which is unpassworded) just + type "su Jake" and you will change to him. If Jake has a password you + will be prompted to enter it. This is useful for loggin in under a + user account and switching later to a super user account. + +passwd allows a user to change his password. If you are a superuser you can + change someone elses password by typing "passwd ". + +mkuser make a user (providing you are a super user) + +mkdir create a directory + +More Information about Commands +------------------------------- +The following are more of the most basic Unix commands. + +cat cd chmod cp cut date +echo egrep fgrep file find glossary +grep help ln locate ls mail +mesg mkdir mv news pr ps +pwd rm sleep sort starter stty +tabs tail tee time touch tty +uname usage wall wc who write + +Using the Command: mkdir + +Syntax Summary: mkdir dir_name1 [ dir_name2 ...] + where: + dir_names are simple subdirectory names, + relative pathnames, or full pathnames + +Description: + mkdir creates one or more new directories. + If mkdir is given a simple name as an argument, the new + directory will be a subdirectory of the current directory. + You can make new directories anywhere in the file system + by giving mkdir a complete or relative pathname for the new + directories, if you have permission to write in the directory + where the new directory is to be created. + +Ok, those are the basic commands you will need to go around in the system. + +Part VI: Useful Information +---------------------------- + A great place to go to get information on who is on the system and +what accounts you can use to get on again is contained in the file "passwd" +in the "etc" directory. To look at it, cd etc, and then cat passwd. The +first entry should say something like this: +root:adfaBADca:0:1:Operator:/:/bin/sh +what this means is that the root account has an encrypted password, has super- +user capabilities (any user with a 0 in that slot is a super user) is in group +1 (relatively unimportant for this file), has a comment of Operator (this may +be blank), has a home directory of / (the root) and uses the Bourne Shell, kept +in the /bin directory. +You will then see all the other users listed out in the same format. If you +see an account followed by two colons, that means that it has no password. You +want these accounts so that you can log in under them another time. If you get +real lucky you may see something like this: +makefsys::0:1:/bin:/bin/sh +meaning that you have found a super user account with no password, a very +useful item indeed. + +Another good place to look is the /usr/spool dir and the +/usr/spool/cron/crontabs dir because if you are a super user that dir contains +much that will be useful to you. + +In order to move up to a directory one level higher than you are presently in, +type "cd ..". So to move from /Bill/files to /Bill I would just type cd .. +and, assuming I started in /Bill/files I would now be in /Bill. + +Ok, now you can wander the system "cat"'ing around and whatnot. If a file +doesn't "cat", try just typing it's name, that will execute it if you have the +privileges. Try typing "admin" or "ua" if you are a superuser nad maybe you'll +be able to create users or other interesting things. You may not be able to +cat a file or run it because you lack access permissions. What are they? Read +on! + +Access Permissions +------------------ + access permissions: permissions: mode: owner: +owner/group/others: read/write/execute + +As the user of a UNIX system, you can decide who can read, write, +and execute the files and directories that you own. You are +usually the owner of files and directories that you have created in +your login directory and in the "subdirectories"* in your login +directory. You may also own files in other peoples' directories. +You control the use of your files and directories by specifying the +access permissions, also called the mode, for each. You can specify +different access permissions for yourself, your "group"*, and the +other users of the system. Permission to read allows the user to +read the contents of the file. Write permission allows the user to +change the file and execute permission enables the user to execute +the program within the file. + + ls -l + +prints the access permissions for each file and directory in the +current directory. The sample listing below shows the mode of the +file (preceded by a -), the number of "links"*, the owner, the +"group ID"*, the size in characters, the date and time the file +was last modified, and the "filename"*. + + -rwxr-x--x 1 sandy 12345 128 Oct 9 9:32 lock + +If this were a listing for a directory, the hyphen (-) would be +replaced by the letter d. The owner of the file "lock" can read, +write and execute the file, the group can read and execute it, and +the others can only execute it. You can change the mode of your +files and directories by using the change mode command, chmod. + +Other interesting places to look are in the directories assigned to the users +on the Unix system, often their files will contain some useful information. +Also try going into the /uucp directory or looking for any uucp dir anywhere as +it may contain phone numbers to other Unix systems or other "goodies". + + +The *: asterisk +--------------- +In the shell, an asterisk matches any "string"* of characters in +a "filename"* on a command line. The command + + rm temp* + +removes all files from the current working directory that begin with +the string "temp". Files like "temp", "temp1", "temp.1", and +"temp.save" would all be deleted. An asterisk alone matches any +filename in the current working directory except those beginning +with "dot (.)"*. For example, + + rm * + +removes all the files in your directory except for the dot (.)files. + +Finally, typing help at the unix prompt may bring up a help manual that is +usually quite well done and will help you if you are stuck or wish to explore +in more depth the commands I didn't go into. + +Hmm, what else? I can't think of much more right now that would help you much +more, in this file I think I've covered everything that should get you well on +your way towards becoming a unix hacker. Once you've got this, start reading +files on "Unix Shells", "Scripts", and ask around A LOT. Ah, I just remembered +something. To get help on a command, type "man " or "whatis +" and you may find out. Also, a lot of Unix's have a built in Help feature +somewhere, try to get to it. + +Part VII: A Few Final Words +---------------------------- + If you manage to get onto a Unix system, don't screw it up. Unix is a +great operating system, and fun to learn on and have other people learn on. +Don't become a superuser and delete everything or other things, it's just not +worth it. Also, don't make a use called "Hacker" or "Shadow 1" or something, +that's a blatant giveaway. Put an account a little out of the way directory, +and create user level accounts if you must, and perhaps just 1 super user +level. I can't think of much more to say on the basics, though I probably left +some important things out....nobody's perfect.

Let's face it, learning and using DOS commands is a + test of patience, memory and stamina. Batch files are the secret + weapon which can boost your computer into the fast lane of work + productivity. + + Batch files are small software programs which you can prepare in + the space of only five or ten minutes which automate a variety + of tasks and customize the computer to your work style. The + bottom line is that batch files can preserve your sanity in the + face of arcane, easily-forgotten DOS commands to provide you + with a menu system for your hard drive, transfer and backup + files, provide security, start other software programs, activate + your printer and much more. + + Amazingly, batch files require that you become familiar with + only eight commands in addition to the normal DOS commands. + Working with batch files means you are programming in the most + literal sense - let's take a tour of the small miracles called + batch files . . . + + A batch file is little more than a list of DOS commands plus + eight special batch commands. These commands are stored on your + floppy or hard disk in an ordinary text file such as produced by + your word processor or text editor. If you can type a letter to + a friend, you can prepare a batch file! + + Several time-saving batch file examples which provide real work + power to your everyday computer problems are presented at the + end of this tutorial. We will also examine the eight basic batch + file commands as well as the AUTOEXEC.BAT file which starts your + computer each morning. In addition we will present some simple + tricks for managing your printer with batch files. + + One way to think about a batch file is that it takes the + place of your keyboard and issues commands one after another + until it reaches a conclusion. Batch files operate line by line + and are read directly from the disk which makes them a little + slow, but nevertheless useful and flexible. You can eliminate + repetitious keyboard tasks by using batch files. Let's look at a + short batch file . . . + + Each line of a batch file contains one instruction or operation + per line which the computer is to perform. Below is the listing + of a simple batch file example. Don't worry about understanding + it yet, simply note that each instruction is a DOS command on a + separate line. The list in the left column is the actual batch + file, while the explanation in the right column is NOT part of + the batch file, only a helpful column of comments. + + EXAMPLE BATCH FILE EXPLANATION + | | + date date displayed + time time displayed + ver DOS version displayed + dir a:/p directory of a: floppy + displayed with a pause + + The primary use of batch files is to automate sequences or + instructions which you use frequently. A batch file always has + the extension BAT. A batch file might for instance be named + MENU.BAT, CAR.BAT, INSTALL.BAT or MONEY.BAT. + + Each line in a batch file is a separate command and is performed + in sequence as if you had typed in the command from your + keyboard at the DOS prompt. In addition to the usual DOS + commands, batch files can also contain additional special + commands to provide truly sophisticated program structures which + include decision branching and even repetitions of commands. + In addition, batch files may have special parameters or inputs + passed to them at the time you run the batch file from the DOS + command line or prompt. + + A batch file is run or started by typing the file name without + the extension. This of course also applies to files ending with + file extensions EXE or COM as well as BAT. + + Example: A>hello (Then pressing enter or return key) + This starts the file hello.bat hello.com or hello.exe + + Example: C>whoops (Then pressing enter or return key) + This starts the file whoops.exe whoops.bat or whoops.com + + There are several ways to abort or terminate any batch file in + progress. 1) Issue the break command which uses the two key + combination CONTROL-BREAK (hold down the control or CTRL key + then press the break key) or you can 2) Tap CTRL-SCROLL LOCK + keys or 3) Tap CTRL-C keys. + + There are many ways to prepare a batch file, all of which use + simple methods of text editing or word processing: 1) Use the + DOS COPY CON (copy console) command. 2) Use the older EDLIN line + editor available within DOS. 3) Use the newer DOS EDIT text + editor available in DOS version 5.0 4) Use any word processor + (e.g., Microsoft Word, Wordperfect, PC-Write) whose output has + been set to ASCII or pure text output - many word processors use + a "save as" file option to select pure ASCII output. See your + word processor reference book index under ASCII file saving. + + Let's prepare a batch file: + + First make sure you have a formatted disk in your disk drive and + DOS is displaying a DOS prompt such as A> or C>. We need a disk + in order to save our batch file. + + We will be using the command COPY CON (copy data from the + CONsole) command. We could also use any ASCII (plain english) + text word processor (e.g., Wordperfect) or even EDLIN on your + DOS disk. Note that you can use either upper or lower case to + prepare batch files (capitals or small letters.) Using COPY CON + is like using a small typewriter to prepare your batch file. + + Type the following list carefully at the DOS prompt: + + copy con blink.bat (press enter - cursor skips to new line) + echo Hello there (press enter) + ver (press enter) + date (press enter) + dir/p (press enter) + ^Z (press F6 OR your can press control key + AND Z key, then press enter) + + When done, you'll have prepared a batch file of DOS commands + named blink.bat. Run the batch file by typing this at the DOS + prompt: + blink (then press enter key) + + WARNING! Be careful when preparing batch files since you will + automatically overwrite and destroy any PREXISTING batch files + of the same name! Better to make a backup copy of the existing + batch file (or rename it temporarily with the REN command) and + then proceed. A classic beginner mistake is to tinker with the + crucial AUTOEXEC.BAT file without saving a backup copy first! + More about AUTOEXEC.BAT later in this tutorial. + + We could also have named the batch file above hello.bat or + info.bat rather than blink.bat by changing the first line we + typed, but for simplicity we'll stick with blink.bat which does + the following chores: Print "hello there" on the screen, then + type the DOS version in use then display date and finally + produce a directory listing with pause after each screenful. At + this point the batch file ends and returns you to DOS. In the + first line we use COPY CON as our small word processor to begin + construction of the batch file named blink.bat. In the last line + the ^Z means end of batch file preparation - exit back to DOS + and save the file on disk. + + Another example batch file for you to try, let's call it F.BAT + This is a reminder that F.BAT refers to formatting a disk: + + echo off + copy con f.bat + cls + pause + format b: + echo all done + + Notice that here I have omitted the COPY CON command to start + file preparation and the F6 to end file preparation. Use the + COPY CON method described above if you wish or whatever word + processing software is available to construct the file. + + This batch file (activated by typing f then enter) will clear + the screen then prepare to format a blank disk in b: drive. + NOTE: you MUST have FORMAT.COM, the DOS formatting utility, on + the same disk as the batch file, f.bat - remember that format is + an EXTERNAL command and f.bat will try to find FORMAT.COM. + + After the batch file has formatted the disk it prints "all done" + on the screen. So instead of LOTS of keystrokes to format a + disk, you just tap "F" then hit enter and the batch file runs. + See how we are saving keystrokes - that's one of the purposes of + a batch file! We will discuss the new ECHO command a little + later in this tutorial. + + A reminder: Ctrl-Break or Ctrl-C key combination will halt + any batch file operation if you wish. + + The next batch file might be used to backup word processing data + files from your hard drive onto a floppy disk. Let's make an + initial assumption that your word processing documents are + stored on your hard drive in the subdirectory C:\DOC. You could + name this backup batch file B.BAT and when you need to backup + simply type B (then press enter) at the DOS prompt. We've + omitted the copy con command at the top of the file and the ^Z + at the end of the file since you already know how to start and + end a batch file from previous examples. Note the new commands + we are using: REM, ECHO and PAUSE which we will discuss shortly. + + ECHO OFF + ECHO This batch file backs up DOCUMENT files to disk B: + ECHO READY TO BACKUP. + PAUSE + COPY C:\DOC\*.* B: + ECHO All done! + + The line which does most of the work is COPY C:\DOC\*.* B: + which translates as "copy all files from C:\DOC subdirectory + and transfer them to B: drive." + + One batch file can start or call another, but the original batch + file cannot usually be returned to - you must continue on within + the second batch file. For example, you could have one batch + file start another batch file. + + If a batch file contains a typing or syntax error in any of its + commands, the computer will stop execution at that point and + return you to DOS which remembers which disk contains the batch + file and the drive it was in. If you remove the original disk, + DOS will ask you to replace it so it can finish executing the + batch file. Batch files execute one step at a time from the disk + and NOT from RAM memory. This disk-based nature of batch files + make them a little slow, but they get the work done in + reasonably short order for most people. + + Several books and power user tricks should also be mentioned + regarding batch files before we move on . . . + + A superlative book on batch files you might wish to investigate + is MOS-DOS Batch File programming by Ronny Richardson, 1988, + Wincrest Books. + + You should also investigate the SEBFU (Scanlon Enterprises Batch + File Utilities) software package which is a series of small + batch file utilities which offer an improvement over the + standalone DOS batch file programming language. SEBFU allows the + user to produce subtle, powerful batch files and includes an + excellent tutorial about using batch files for productivity. If + you wish to try SEBFU, the shareware version, contact Scanlon + Enterprises, 38354 17th ST E #C, Palmdale, CA 93550 Telephone + (805) 272-4827. Include five dollars for shipping and handling. + + Special batch file COMPILER utilities exist which speed + execution of batch files and make them run from RAM memory + rather than disk. Most computer clubs and BBS system carry these + batch file compilers. One popular batch compiler is named + BAT2EXEC and was produced by PC Magazine several years ago. + Batch files will FLY once they have been compiled and run + from memory rather than disk. Another batch file speedup trick + uses a "ramdisk" as follows. + + Remember the DOS VDISK command in our second DOS tutorial? Many + DOS experts put commonly used batch files in a virtual or RAM + disk in memory where a batch file runs quickly. This is one + trick which can turbocharge batch file operations. + + ---------------------------------------------------------------- + + AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE BASICS - THE WAKEUP CALL TO YOUR COMPUTER + + ---------------------------------------------------------------- + + The AUTOEXEC.BAT file starts your computer exactly the way you + want. It allows you to customize the machine to your liking as + the computer comes to life. You can cause the AUTOEXEC.BAT file + to print a startup menu of choices, load one particular program, + execute another batch file or other useful tasks. The + AUTOEXEC.BAT file is the first file DOS runs after loading + itself and configuring the computer. The AUTOEXEC.BAT file must + be on the same disk as DOS when the computer starts. + + The AUTOEXEC.BAT file is a special batch file which MUST be + placed in the main or root directory of a disk to function + properly. + + An AUTOEXEC.BAT file can always be modified, enlarged, edited, + or deleted later as you wish. Sometimes it is useful to have + several AUTOEXEC.BAT files. Each on a different startup disk to + operate different programs! An AUTOEXEC.BAT file, like all batch + files, can be modified with any word processor, DOS EDIT or + EDLIN text editor. + + Before tinkering with your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, make sure you do + not accidentally over-write or destroy your current AUTOEXEC.BAT + file. If necessary, rename your current AUTOEXEC.BAT file (using + the rename or REN command) and make a new file while saving the + old one "just in case." Never edit files on your original DOS disk, + work on a copy! This wise advice applies to ANY computer file. + Save a backup copy; never work on the original. + + Examine the next batch file: + + copy con AUTOEXEC.BAT (press enter) + 123 (press enter) + ^Z (press enter) + + This means (first line) create a file named AUTOEXEC.BAT as + typed from the keyboard or con (console). Then (second line) + start program named 123. The (final line) end of batch file + preparation - stash it on the disk. Since the first and last + lines prepare the batch file, this program really has only one + line whose purpose is to start a specific program (123.EXE) each + time the computer is turned on. + + When finished you'll see a file named AUTOEXEC.BAT on your + directory listing screen which contains automatic startup + instructions. If this file were placed on your main DOS disk it + would try to start a program such as 123.EXE if such a program + existed there. And since it is AUTOEXEC.BAT this would be the + first file run each morning when you turn on your computer. + + You can also start the AUTOEXEC.BAT by typing autoexec and then + pressing enter. To take a "peek" at the contents of an + AUTOEXEC.BAT file (or any bat file) simply use the type command. + Remember to use Ctrl-S key combination to pause the screen if + the display flashes by too quickly. + + Example: C>type AUTOEXEC.BAT (display file contents) + Example: A>type b:AUTOEXEC.BAT (display file on the B: drive) + Example: C>type AUTOEXEC.BAT>PRN (display file contents on + printer) + + Here is another AUTOEXEC.BAT file, this time from a hard drive + computer. It provides a higher degree of control and direction + that a computer user might need for hard drive customization. + + path \dos;\reflex;\wp;\util;\doc;\nor;\bat + prompt $P$G + cpu n + verify on + blank + mode bw80,r + dispclk + type menu.txt + + Let's examine this more complicated AUTOEXEC.BAT file in greater + detail: + + The first line after establishes a path command to help DOS + search every subdirectory on the hard disk -you don't have to + switch around to different areas of the disk, DOS will search + for you since it knows the various subdirectory "paths" to take. + + The second line alters the cursor prompt to always display your + current location and subdirectory. Instead of seeing C> you view + a more informative C:\DOCS> for example. + + The third line is a reference to the speed the computer will + operate at and is a unique command to a particular brand of + machine (cpu n means start the central processing unit chip at + normal speed.) Cpu is really CPU.COM, an external file which + sets the computer's processing speed. Your DOS disk may or may + not contain the file CPU.COM. This highlights the ability of the + AUTOEXEC.BAT file to start or load other programs and is + very useful! + + The fourth line turns on the verify function for file copying. + + The next line instructs the DOS mode function to switch to black + and white display, 80 columns wide and shift one column to the + right for alignment. We are setting the hardware the way we + wish. We could also configure the modem or printer with the mode + command. + + Next we ask DOS to tell us the time and date. Run the program + DISPCLK.COM, an external program stored on disk. + + The final line instructs DOS to type to the screen a text file + containing a simple menu for the monitor to display. Menu.txt + probably gives us choices of programs and thus calls other batch + files. + + ---------------------------------------------------------------- + + BATCH FILE COMMANDS AND USE + + ---------------------------------------------------------------- + + In addition to the normal DOS commands, batch files have eight + special subcommands. At the end of this section we will provide + some interesting batch files which you can use or edit on your + computer. + + The special batch commands are: + + --- REM --- The rem command sends a message to the screen or + simply documents or notes a part of a batch file's operation. + You should use REM extensively to document long detailed batch + files so you can revise things and locate portions of the + program if you decide to change the batch file later. Remarks + can be up to 123 characters long. REM does not cause any + operation, it merely documents what you want to say or do. + + Example: C>REM this is the location of menu operations + + In DOS 2.0 the REM command could be replaced with a period or + dot, but this is not true in DOS 3.0 and above. + + Example: C>. this is the location of menu operations + + --- PAUSE --- Stops batch file execution on a temporary basis + until you press a key. Thus you can pause a batch file and do + some operation (perhaps changing a floppy disk) and then + continue when you strike a key. Very useful. + + Example: B>PAUSE + Example: B>PAUSE This is an optional message, pardner! + + In the first example, no message is displayed. + + --- ECHO --- Turns display listing of commands on/off. It can + also send a message to the screen. It is frequently turned off + to remove excessive screen messages. Normally, with ECHO on, + screen messages are sent to the screen which can be distracting. + To suppress them use the first example. To restart the messages + use the second example. To add a message with the ECHO command + see example three. REM or remark command can also send a message + to the screen but NOT with ECHO turned off! + + Example: A>ECHO OFF + Example: A>ECHO ON + Example: A>ECHO It's raining cats, dogs and computers + Example: A>@ECHO (don't display this particular line) + + --- PARAMETERS AND MARKERS ---- This is NOT a batch file + command like ECHO or PAUSE. + + Instead parameters are additional pieces of information or + "modifiers" which follow DOS commands. + + Example: C>format b:/s + + In the above, format is the command while b: and /s are the + parameters. Parameters modify the basic operation of a DOS + command but are not required by the command to operate. A batch + file can also accept parameters such as a word, filename, + symbol, drive letter or any useful character or group of + characters! + + Markers placed inside the batch file listing signify which + parameter goes where. Markers are made from a percent sign (%) + and a single digit between 0 and 9 for a total of ten markers + available (remember, zero is a number too.) Here are the ten + markers: + + %0 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 + + Let's use an example. Pretend that DOLITTLE.BAT is on your + floppy. Within its listing of commands there might be this + single line: + + ECHO %0 %1 %2 (ECHO shows messages on the monitor) + + If at the DOS prompt you typed: + + B>DOLITTLE fancy pants (then press enter) + + Your screen would show the following: + + ECHO DOLITTLE fancy pants. + + In this case, %0 has taken on the value at the start of the DOS + command which is the first word "DOLITTLE". Meanwhile %1 has + become "fancy" and %2 is now pants. + + Looking at this another way: + + DOLITTLE fancy pants + | | | + ECHO %0 %1 %2 + + Let's try a more useful example. Pretend you had a large file of + word processing files containing bills you have to pay from time to + time. + + You need to look up bills or amounts in the file accounts.txt + which is in plain ASCII (english) text from your word processor. + + The DOS FIND utility can search large files for specific words, + strings or characters. The general format for the FIND command + is: FIND "text" filename. FIND is located in the file FIND.COM + on your DOS disk and must be present with the batch file to be + used. + + A simple batch file possibly named GET.BAT could do this: + + ECHO OFF + ECHO searching for data . . . . + FIND "%1" %2 + ECHO Finished, boss + + Start the batch file get.bat with search data like this: + + C>get grocery accounts.txt (first word starts get.bat, second + word is the item to search for, third item is the file to + search.) + + As a result, you will get a report of the line where the word + "grocery" is found within the file accounts.txt. This could also + be used to search a telephone list or list of employee names and + addresses. A powerful idea for a short batch file! + + --- GOTO --- Jumps to a labeled set of commands within the + batch file. The general format for the command is GOTO LABEL + where LABEL is a line in the batch file which must start with a + colon (:) followed by a name up to eight characters long. + + A simple, but useless batch file illustrates the GOTO command by + looping around in circles doing the same task endlessly. + + Example listing for batch file: + + ECHO OFF + :kitty + ECHO watch this fill your screen over and over, folks + GOTO kitty + + Note! On some versions of DOS it is necessary to include one blank + line at the end of this file. In the above example, just press + Enter/Return key one extra time after the line "GOTO kitty" + and then save the batch file. + + The above batch file will continue to print the remark line over + and over since it always returns to the start. Tap Ctrl-Break to + stop this silliness. The true usefulness of the GOTO command is + best understood by allowing the GOTO within a batch file to + transfer control elsewhere within its listing rather than to the + line immediately next in sequence. You can thus cause varying + useful results depending on a conditions present. Choices and + different outcomes are a trademark of savvy batch file use. + + --- IF --- Allows conditional operation of a command. This is a + fancy way of saying you can cause a batch file to make decisions + based on a logical condition or input then do something. The + usual syntax of the IF command is IF CONDITION COMMAND. Let's + take this apart and examine the concept. + + In the situation IF CONDITION COMMAND: + + COMMAND is any normal DOS or batch file command and CONDITION is + one of three possible tests that yield true or false. + + Example: IF %1==w GOTO dog (we'll explain this in a bit) + Example: IF %3 == 80 MODE BW80 (we'll explain this in a bit) + + The three possible tests are: + + 1. The ERRORLEVEL condition (i.e., a specific number is found). + 2. The STRING COMPARISON. (i.e., two strings are equivalent or + not.) + 3. The FILE EXISTENCE condition. (i.e., if a file exists or not.) + + In true full-featured programming languages many other logical + tests might be allowed, but for batch files these are the + only three tests. Let's examine the three more closely. Then + illustrate with an example. + + 1. ERRORLEVEL is a number which tells DOS whether the last + program run was successful. If so the errorlevel is zero (0) + anything else above zero means unsuccessful. + + 2. STRING COMPARISON, the second conditional test, is always + indicated in a batch file by double equals signs (==). A test is + designated by the condition IF string1 == string2. This is + frequently used with parameters or markers such as: IF %3 == 80 + MODE BW80. + + 3. In the final and third conditional test, FILE EXISTENCE, the + usual format is IF EXIST d:filename.ext. which checks for a + certain file on a certain drive. You can thus check for a + certain disk or file before continuing the batch file process. + Pathnames are not allowed (d:\slip\and\slide). + + Let's try a batch file example to illustrate the use of STRING + COMPARISONS to make a choice in how the batch file does its + work. In a way, this is a menu program. Pretend you have two + software applications. One is a word processor named WORD.EXE + whose command to start is WORD and the other is a spreadsheet + named LOTUS.EXE whose command is LOTUS to start. + + If we prepared a simple batch file called go.bat whose listing is + below, we could start one or the other program by using either + the command: + + A>go w (to start the word processor) + + OR THIS: + + A>go s (to start the spreadsheet). + + Notice how the "w" or "s" is picked up by the batch file and + sends the program either one direction or the other in the + example below. The remarks lines which begin with REM in the + batch file give you a clue about the operation of the program + but are not themselves commands. The end result of this batch + file is a saving of keystrokes for frequently used software (the + word processor and spreadsheet) and could be expanded to start + many other software packages. + + REM This batch file selects one of two choices based on input + REM The next line turns off screen echo to avoid screen clutter + ECHO OFF + REM Begin test for one of two choices + REM Next two lines use percent signs as markers for "w" or "s" keys + IF %1==w GOTO dog + IF %1==s GOTO cat + REM Next line forces goto end if no match is made for w or s + GOTO end + :dog + REM Next command starts word processor, WORD.EXE + WORD + GOTO end + :cat + REM Next command starts spreadsheet, LOTUS.EXE + LOTUS + GOTO end + :end + REM Next line switches to root directory and ends the batch file + CD\ + ECHO Batch file done, bye bye! + + --- SHIFT --- Re-assigns the relationship of parameters to + markers. It changes their values. And it does it in a very odd + way . . . + + Remember that there are only ten markers available to a batch + file to hold the parameter values as we mentioned above. Here + they are: + + %0 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 + + However you can raise the limit of 10 parameters in a batch file + using the single word SHIFT. When this command is encountered in + a batch file, all the parameter and marker pairings are shifted + one unit to the left. Whatever was assigned to %0 is lost. + + A diagram to visualize. Before a SHIFT command is issued the + parameters and markers might be: + + %0 %1 %2 + | | | + dog cat computer + + After the SHIFT command we would see: + + %0 %1 %2 + | | | + cat computer + + Notice that dog is lost, %1 becomes computer and %2 is left + vacant unless it takes a new parameter from %3 (if %3 had a + parameter). The effects of the SHIFT command are wide ranging + throughout the batch file and provide great flexibility and a + range of parameters greater than ten values. + + --- FOR..IN..DO --- Allows iteration (repetition) of actions + or commands. The command is similar to a FOR...NEXT...STEP loop + programmers use. This command lets you repeat an action several + times. + + The command is rather subtle and could be thought of as a three + part command. The syntax is: + + FOR %%Variable IN (Set) DO Command + + Let's look more closely at the three parts: + + FOR %%Variable IN (Set) DO Command + ============== ======= ========== + | | | + part 1 part 2 part 3 + + Translating into English this means: FOR a certain batch file + variable withIN a SET of filenames or commands DO a certain + action. + + The %%VARIABLE is a one-letter variable which must have a double + %% prior to the letter to distinguish it from single % markers + we have seen earlier. + + The SET portion of the command is always in parenthesis as + (SET). The SET represents filenames or DOS commands you want the + %% variable to assume while the command is executing. A space is + used between entries. Pathnames are never allowed but wildcards + such as *.* are acceptable. If the SET contains DOS command then + only the %%VARIABLE is used. + + The COMMAND is a DOS command or batch subcommand. One or several + of these commands will contain the %%Variable in it. + + Let's try an example. Pretend by you want a batch file to + present the DOS version then clear the screen and finally issue + the directory. We could do this in three lines by: + + VER + CLS + DIR/P + + However, with the command FOR..IN..DO we can do this in one + line: + + FOR %%T IN (Ver cls Dir/P) DO %%T + + Notice how each DOS command is separated by a space. ? and * are + NOT allowed within any command within the SET. Use a colon : + instead of a space within the set when passing parameters to + programs. You can issue the FOR..IN..DO batch file subcommand at + the DOS prompt by dropping one of the percentage signs % on + the variable. Let's move on to some practical and fairly + interesting examples . . . + + ---------------------------------------------------------------- + + BATCH FILE PROJECTS FOR YOU TO TRY! + + ---------------------------------------------------------------- + + The following batch files do real work and can teach you some + fascinating principles. + + To save typing each example, here's a shortcut: simply load this + file, BATCH.TUT, from this disk or hard drive into your word + processor. Next, delete the tutorial and batch files you don't + need, keeping only the batch file lines you require. Move all + lines of the batch file to the far left margin then save the + batch file back to disk in plain ASCII text with a permanent + batch file name such as CANDY.BAT, GO.BAT or PRINTER.BAT which + you can easily remember. Feel free to change or add things to + these batch files with your word processor since that's the + point - batch files are flexible! + + Note the liberal use of the remarks or REM lines in some batch + files to explain how things work. If you like, delete all REM + lines to save typing time, space and speed program execution! + + ---- Fast freespace batch file ---- + + This is a short but useful batch file. It reports the amount of + freespace on a disk by using the FIND command in DOS to search + out the line containing the word "free" in the DOS DIR command. + + Program name: TELLFREE.BAT + + ECHO OFF + CLS + ECHO CHECKING FOR FREE SPACE ON DISK + DIR | FIND "free" + + You could modify the last line to DIR A: | FIND "free" to locate + the free space on the A: drive. The piping symbol | , discussed + in a previous DOS tutorial illustrates how one command (DIR) can + "pipe" its output into the FIND command. You MUST have the DOS + file FIND.EXE on the same disk so that the DIR command can use + it. The word "free" is case sensitive and must MOT be typed in + capital letters since the FIND command is case sensitive. + + Obviously, to use this small program, at the DOS prompt just + type TELLFREE then press the return or enter key. You could also + name this batch file T.BAT if you wanted to only type a + single letter and save additional keystrokes. + + ---- Fast deletion batch file ---- + + This is a short batch file with some powerful wrinkles for + speedy file deletions. It could be modified in many ways. + + Program name: DB.BAT + + ECHO OFF + CLS + ECHO Ready to delete ALL files on B: drive + ECHO Press control-break keys to abort or + ECHO any other key to continue + PAUSE + REM Following line does the deleting + ECHO Y | DEL B:*.* + ECHO DONE! + + This is an odd batch file using some powerful DOS secrets. Line + four reminds us we are about to delete all files on the B: drive + and gives us the chance to abort using the control-break key + combination which works to abort all batch files. The pause + command on line six halts operations and waits for our keypress. + + Line eight shows the real power of DOS in a one line command + which uses ECHO to pass the keystroke Y (meaning yes) via the + pipe operation of DOS represented by the vertical bar |. This + effectively means that the deletion of all files on B: drive + represented by *.* will take place WITHOUT pausing for the + traditional Yes/No request. The name of the batch file, DB.BAT + reminds us that its use is to delete all files on B: drive or + DB, for short! + + ---- Fast formatting batch file ---- + + This batch file will speed your disk formatting. Its name + F.BAT means format disks, and it gives you some choices and + illustrates other batch file tricks. + + There are three ways to use it: for formatting A: drive, B: + drive, or both A: and B: drives. Note the minimum number of + keystrokes required and how the batch file determines your + choice by using parameters. This batch file also requires a + small text file called yes.txt which shows how a file can be + used to redirect input to a DOS command in place of the + keyboard. It is explained below. Be sure to prepare YES.TXT or + F.BAT will not work! + + To start this batch file you MUST chose one of the following. + The space between letter characters is important. + + To format only A: drive, at DOS prompt enter F A + To format only B: drive, at DOS prompt enter F B + To format both A and B drives, at DOS prompt enter F AB + + In the above commands, the A, B or AB will be inserted into the + batch file in the location of the symbol %1 as noted earlier in + this tutorial. + + Program name: F.BAT + + ECHO OFF + CLS + ECHO FORMATTING DISKS NOW! + REM This batch file selects one of three choices based on input + REM Begin test for one of three choices + IF %1==A GOTO DOG + IF %1==B GOTO CAT + IF %1==AB GOTO MOUSE + REM Next line forces goto end if no match is made + GOTO end + :DOG + FORMAT A:PRN + ECHO DONE + + The fourth line contains a secret trick. The code we need to + send is 27 69 according to our printer book. When preparing this + batch file with EDLIN, COPY CONsole or your word processor, you + must send the printer control code 27 then 69 to the printer. + + In line four after typing the word "ECHO" then a blank space, + hold down the ALT key then press 155 on the FAR RIGHT NUMERIC + KEYBOARD. When done entering the number, release the ALT key. + On most computers, the cents symbol will appear which the + printer will accept as the "escape code 27." DO NOT type the + left and right parenthesis marks which appear on line four: ( ), + they are only for clarity. + + Next press ALT 69 which produces the E symbol. You could also + just type capital E. Next type >PRN which sends this code + to your printer. Note that there is NO blank space between (ALT + 155) and (ALT 69). + + The code 155 is substituted for 27 but the 69 is unchanged. Why + 155 rather than 27 for the escape code? An explanation: Printer + control codes begin with code 128, thus escape character 27 is + generated by using 27+128 = 155. An necessary trick for this + batch file. We could send SEVERAL codes by adding more lines to + the batch file to set letter quality, pica font, line spacing + and tabs, then type the letter to the printer (ECHO LETTER.TXT>PRN) + and finally reset the printer. Your printer book discusses these + decimal control codes. + + If we wanted to send a formfeed to the printer (eject paper,) + the printer reference book suggests control code 12, therefore + 12+128 = 140. So the fourth line in the batch file would read + ECHO (ALT 140) >PRN. The bell sound (decimnal code 7) is + generated by 7+128 = 135. The batch file would change to read + ECHO (ALT 135) >PRN. + + Some printer features are controlled by SINGLE control codes + while other features are controlled by MULTIPLE escape sequence + codes which always begin with 27 followed by additional numbers. + Escape code 27 is always translated to ALT 155 when DOS and + batch files transmit the printer control information. Within + software programs the codes may use a different format: \027E + for example. + + Many other printing features can be turned on using short batch + files. For example, double strike printing uses the decimal code + 27 71. In the batch file you could use ECHO (ALT 155)(ALT 71) >PRN. + + You can also turn on a COMBINATION of several features in one + longer batch file to control several features. Just add more + lines and codes to the batch file! + + To reset the printer when a printing job is finished: code 27 + 64. Search out these printer codes in your printer manual and + let a batch file do the hard work! + + One of the best batch file tutorials to date was published in + two parts in the November and December 1991 editions of PC + Computing Magazine.

Should you slow or fast charge them? What is + the true life of a rechargeable battery after which it must be + disposed? Do rechargeable batteries have a "memory" effect? Can + nickel-cadmium batteries explode when charging or discharging? + + Although this tutorial may seem technical in places, try to read + ALL of it since battery power may be your only source of laptop + power on many occasions. + + For many portable computers a variety of rechargeable battery + options exist today. But frequently it comes down to the old + standby: nickel-cadmium batteries. Ubiquitous in consumer + electronic items such as shavers, flashlights, toothbrushes and + radios, nickel-cadmiums or "nicads" are a reasonable balance of + power, cost and weight and are used by many computer + manufacturers as the portable power source of choice. Let's + scratch the surface on the topic since there is QUITE A BIT the + manufacturer doesn't tell you about nicads.... + + Glance at the following chemical equation which is at the heart + of the nickel-cadmium cell reaction. Don't get overly anxious + because high school chemistry was not your favorite subject. + We'll take things slowly.... + + <----- + Cd + 2 NiOOH + 2 KOH -----> Cd(OH) + 2NiO + 2 KOH + 2 + + In this highly simplified reaction sequence, electricity is + generated when the reaction proceeds in the direction of the + right pointing arrow, the discharge cycle. If the reaction + proceeds in the left direction the cell is charging. + + In simplest terms, a nicad cell (a battery is constructed of + several cells hooked together) has a positively charged plate of + nickelic hydroxide and a negative plate of metallic cadmium. The + liquid between the positive and negatives plates which + facilitates this chemical reaction is usually a dilute solution + of potassium hydroxide - similar to lye or the Draino (tm) + solution your pour down the sink to clean your plumbing. When + discharging and thus producing electricity, the nickelic + hydroxide is reduced to nickelous hydroxide as hydroxyl ions + from the potassium hydroxide electrolyte combine with the + cadmium metal of the negative plate of the cell to form cadmium + hydroxide. Cadmium is oxidized when this happens and electrons + are provided into the external circuit, such as your laptop + computer. + + When charging, the process reverses and hydroxyl ions combine + with the nickel which accepts electrons from the external + charging circuit. Notice that the electrolyte, potassium + hydroxide is unchanged with two atoms or units produced on both + sides of the chemical equation whether charging or discharging. + This is why you do not need to add more water to a nicad battery + which operates as a sealed reaction container. It regenerates + its electrolyte in both the charge and discharge cycles. + + All of this is an ideal nicad cell. The real world of computers + and rechargeable batteries is not quite that simple. The first + SERIOUS item to consider is that all nicad cells and batteries + generate gas during both the charging, and to a lesser extent, + discharging cycle. + + During recharging, oxygen gas is generated at the positive + electrode while hydrogen gas is produced at the negative + electrode. In other types of rechargeable cells, a standard lead + acid car battery for example, these gasses are usually released + into the atmosphere. The nicad cell does not have this luxury + since it must operate cleanly and with minimum release of gasses + or liquids. To minimize hydrogen gas release, nicad cells + usually have an oversized negative electrode which tends to + reabsorb hydrogen gas. In addition oxygen is recycled by + combining with metallic cadmium to produce cadmium oxide. So + called "fast-charging" nicad cells prevent gas buildup and + dissipate some of the heat generated during the quick charge + cycle by further enlarging the electrodes. Heat and gas buildup + is thus controlled and kept to tolerable limits in quick charge + nicads. + + The first of several lessons which can be derived from this + technical discussion is that the buildup of hydrogen and oxygen + gas during the charging cycle is normally dissipated unless HIGH + recharging rates are attempted or unusually high temperatures + are produced. If the nicad cell is charged at abnormally high + rates the oxygen gas cannot dissipate and will EXPLOSIVELY + rupture the cell. + + A safety system of sorts exists within the design structure of + most nicad cells via a pressure venting system - a plastic + diaphragm membrane at the top of the cell and small external + hole or "exhaust vent." In theory the system safely vents excess + pressure and then reseals. In practice the resealing is never + complete and the cell may continue to ooze caustic electrolyte + or worse the vent may not open soon enough and the cell may + simply explode. The vent is really designed for SEVERE charging + or discharging rates. In normal use it should NEVER activate; if + it does, the battery should be discarded. In cases of massive + overcharge or discharge the safety vent is usually too little + too late and a dangerous battery explosion takes place anyway. + + During rapid discharge - short circuiting the nicad cell or + battery with a piece of wire, for example - gas buildup and heat + can be generated and a violent explosion can occur. Another + reason why nicads can explosively burst when short circuited and + forced to discharge quickly is that they have relatively low + "internal resistance" which allows them to dump their electrical + capacity quickly and with explosive force. + + Common zinc carbon batteries have a much higher internal + resistance and when shorted may produce serious burns to your + fingers from melting wire but usually will not explode due to + sudden gas buildup. On the point of sudden nicad discharge by + short circuit you might be tempted to say that it would be highly + unlikely with a portable computer battery. Not so. Tales are + told of laptop computer batteries which have exploded when a + careless owner shoved several fully charged nicad batteries in a + travel case with a set of spare keys. If the keys accidentally + contact both the positive and negative poles of the nicad + simultaneously, a violent explosion reaction can occur! + + Clearly nicads have some unusual features to be respected and + understood. Be careful with charged nicads and treat them as the + small "hand grenades" which they can become. Heat, sudden short + circuits and high rates of charging are the problem in this + area. + + The correct operating temperature for discharging and recharging + nicads is from 65F to 85F, according to most manufacturers. High + and low ranges of from +32F to 115F are possible as upper and + lower limits if nicads MUST be used in extreme environments + although discharge and recharge efficiency may be adversely + affected - it may require more power to fully charge the battery, + charge may not be held for as long on the shelf after charging + and finally discharge may not produce a full three or four hour + computing session at these severe temperature ranges. + + Electrically, individual nicad cells - the units which are + hooked together to produce the final battery - have a charged + voltage of 1.25 volts. Nominally this drops to 1.2 volts under + actual discharge use or "load" in the electrical device. + Individual cells are strung together in "series" with the + positive terminal of one cell touching the negative terminal of + the next cell in sequence to raise the voltage to that suitable + for the electrical device. Thus two cells hooked in "series" as + a battery produce 2 X 1.2 volts = 2.4 volts. Likewise, three + cells connected as a battery produce 3.6 volts. By the way, + ordinary flashlight batteries of the carbon zinc type have a + nominal voltage of 1.5 volts compared to the 1.2 volts of the + nicad cell. + + Nicad batteries have an unusual and highly characteristic + discharge behavior which is best described as "a stable + discharge plateau then sudden voltage drop." Essentially a fully + charged nicad battery provides constant voltage and current + until near its exhaustion at which point the voltage SUDDENLY + DROPS and the cell is, for practical purposes, completely + discharged. + + Compare this to standard carbon zinc and alkaline batteries + which gradually drop in voltage and amperage through the + discharge cycle of the battery. In use nicads tend to be stable, + then die suddenly at the end while conventional non-rechargeable + batteries slowly decay in voltage as their power is consumed. + One conclusion you might draw from this is that when your + portable computer beeps that the nicad battery voltage is + nearing exhaustion you literally have only moments of use left! + The good news is that nicads produce dependable power through + their discharge cycle which is highly desirable with digital + data and computer memory devices. + + The "memory effect" of nicads is perhaps the most discussed and + misunderstood phenomenon associated with nicad cells and + batteries. An undesirable and somewhat unique characteristic of + nicad batteries that they can develop a "memory" which can + decrease either the capacity or voltage of the battery. + + The first type of memory problem in nicads - voltage memory - is + caused by sustained charging over many days or months. This + memory effect can be accelerated by high ambient temperature + extreme duration of charge and high rate of charge. In effect + the battery is charged for such a long period of time or at such + a high rate or high temperature that the efficiency of the + chemical reaction is impaired and proper terminal voltage + readings are not achieved. + + In the second, more common "memory capacity" problem, the nicad + loses the capability to deliver its full power capacity. One + cause of this peculiar memory problem is the FREQUENT PARTIAL + DISCHARGE of the battery - use for perhaps 30 minutes - and then + full recharge again. In effect the nicad battery "learns" that + only part of its capacity is used and over several cycles of + "partial depletion and then full recharge" that less then full + capacity is needed. It will then be unable to deliver a full + two or three hour standard discharge in normal use. Fortunately + memory effects are usually temporary and can be reversed. + + The chemical basis for these two memory effects is not fully + understood, but may have to do with obscure oxidation reactions + which temporarily coat the internal electrodes of the battery + with thin layers of complex non-reactive chemical compounds + which can be removed by more fully "exercising" a nicad through a + complete charge/discharge cycle. + + It is claimed by many manufacturers that this odd memory effect + of nicads has been largely eliminated due to modern + manufacturing methods. However to some degree this may in fact + be a result of newer charging systems and the relatively + complete discharge of nicad power by modern laptops. In effect + the batteries are charged and discharged in a more appropriate + manner by most laptop users so memory effects "appear" to be no + longer a problem. + + Both memory problems - voltage memory and capacity memory - are + usually temporary and can be corrected by discharging the + battery to or very near its exhaustion point (optimum drawdown + voltage is about 1.0 to .9 volts for a standard 1.2 volt nicad) + and then recharging it to full capacity. Repeat this discharge- + recharge cycle from 2 to five times and frequently the nicad + will lose its memory for the "partial capacity" and again + provide a full 3 or 4 hours of use in most laptops. Actually, + frequent FULL discharge and recharge prolongs the life of a + nicad. The more you use them the longer they last! + + Most folks who want to completely discharge laptop nicads simply + leave the computer on until it runs down. A much faster method is + to use the following batch file which continuously reads the + directory of a disk and writes the contents to a disk file. + The continuous disk access drains nicad power much faster. If + you are not familiar with batch files, read the batch file + tutorial elsewhere in this program. Here's the three line batch + file. To stop the batch file at any time press the control and + break keys simultaneously. When finished you may wish to erase + both the batch file and the small file named "test" which it + creates. + + :start + dir>test + goto start + + As an aside, the newer nickel-hydride batteries used in some + laptop and notebook computers do not seem to suffer from memory + effects. But these batteries are more expensive and not in + common use by most laptop manufacturers. + + Nicads do eventually fail. And for various reasons. Temporary or + partial failure due to memory effects was discussed in the + previous paragraphs. + + Permanent failure - usually between 3 to 5 years into the life + of a typical nicad can happen due to the growth of + characteristic "whiskers" of conducting chemical compounds which + effectively bridge the internal gap between the positive and + negative electrodes inside the battery. Effectively these small + contamination deposits gradually short circuit the battery + internally which leads to inability to charge or discharge. Some + clever electronic hobbyists build high current "surge" power + supplies which can burn open these internal deposits and reopen + the gap between positive and negative electrodes. A risky + practice at best - given the explosive reputation of nicads - but + "zapping" nicads in this manner has been documented as one way + to add life to an otherwise dying battery. A risky an usually + ill-advised attempt to salvage an otherwise dying battery. + + A different permanent failure can result from premature loss of the + liquid electrolyte from the battery. High temperature and/or + high charging rates are usually the cause here. Quick-charge + batteries frequently fail due to this problem if their charging + circuits are not properly designed. If the top edge of the cell + which contains the fail safe pressure release valve has a + buildup of white corrosion powder this is probably the residue + ot the expelled electrolyte and the cell may be on its way to + failure and should be replaced. Note that you can only see this + corrosion buildup on the top of the SINGLE nicad cells which are + usually encased within a surrounding plastic battery housing. + The plastic housing may show little problem externally. + Generally, however, the average computer user should not attempt + to open the protective plastic case of the battery to examine + each cell. If the manufacturer seals several individual nicad + cells in a plastic battery container it is for GOOD reason and + your own personal safety. As a rule quick charge nicads do not + last as long a regular nicads due to heat build up during the + charging cycle. + + So how long will a nicad battery last before complete failure + occurs? Manufacturers estimate LOW figures between 500 and 1,000 + full charge and discharge cycles or about 3 to 5 five years, as + noted above. Some nicads have been known to approach 5,000 to + 10,000 charge and discharge cycles before permanent failure. + Excessive quick charging, heat buildup, infrequent use and lack + of full charge all contribute to shortened nicad lifespan. + + Charging and discharging mathematics... + + Charging nicads is generally done automatically by a charging + circuit. Two practical pieces of advice: 1) if the battery + becomes VERY hot something could be wrong 2) if the manufacturer + tells you that the battery will be fully charged after a certain + length of time although it can be left charging longer you will + probably do the nicad a favor by removing it after full charge + is reached. Some clever nicad users simply attach an inexpensive + electrical timer - similar to those used to turn lights on and + off in the evening - directly to the nicad charger to prevent + overcharging. + + Generally nicads have a proper charging rate which depends on + each manufacturers recommendation. For standard nicads which are + NOT quick charge types the proper slow or "trickle" charge rate + is determined by dividing the ampere hour capacity of the + battery by 10. For example if a nicad has a total capacity of 1 + ampere hour, dividing this by ten (1/10) produces a correct + trickle charging rate of .1 amps or 100 milliamps. Quick-charge + nicads can accept a charge rapidly and the suggested charging + rate is determined by dividing the ampere hour capacity of the + battery by 3 rather than by 10. These figures represent the + trickle charge rate which theoretically means the nicad "could" + be safely left charging indefinitely without harm. + + Higher efficiency chargers are designed not to simply trickle + charge nicads but start a discharged battery at a HIGH rate of + charge and then taper the charging current back quickly to the + safer "trickle" charge rate once full charge is reached. Usually + for regular nicads this "initial surge charge" can be as high as + the ampere hour capacity divided by 3. For quick charge nicads + this "initial surge charge" can be as high as the ampere hour + capacity divided by 1. Obviously these are very high charge + rates and are provided to discharged batteries and then + quickly discontinued once full charge is approached. Clearly a + charging circuit of this sophistication is expensive and may + even contain its own microprocessor to sense the discharge level + of the nicad and calculate the optimum charge rate, time and + trickle charge transition. Since we have previously discussed + the adverse affect of heat on nicads it is essential to note + that NICADS SHOULD BE CHARGED IN A COOL OR ROOM TEMPERATURE + location since they normally generate heat when charged. If you + minimize heat buildup - especially during the charging cycle - + you will prolong the useful life of your nicad battery. + + Discharging a nicad - especially if you are trying to remove a + "memory" problem such as that discussed earlier does NOT mean + discharging a cell to zero volts. Usually the correct discharge + voltage is about 1.0 volts. This may seem odd when you consider + that the fully charged cell has a 1.2 volt reading, but in fact + at 1.0 volts a typical nicad cell has released about 90% to 95% + of its energy - another eccentric, but predictable behavior of + nicads given the rapid "voltage drop off" as they near the end + of their three or four hour life in a laptop computer. + + Shelf life. While carbon zinc and alkaline batteries can hold + their charge for years, nicads lose their charge relatively + quickly. Although it varies, one quick rule of thumb is that a + typical fully charged nicad will lose roughly 25% to 35% of full + charge in one month. Then another 25% to 35% of THE CHARGE + REMAINING in the next month. And so on and so on. Thus if you + have several nicad batteries you want to charge for a trip you + will be taking in a month, it is probably better to charge ALL + OF THEM the final week just before the trip rather than the + month before. For want of a better phrase, this might be called + "shelf discharge" and is normal with all nicads and has to do + with slight electrical leakage and chemical compound decay + internally within a charged nicad which sits on a shelf. Cooling + or refrigerating the nicad (but NOT freezing) will slow this + "shelf discharge" since you are cooling and slowing the + breakdown reaction. In fact ALL batteries will last longer when + refrigerated until they are used. Simply store them in + individual sealed plastic bags (to minimize moisture + condensation) and place them in the refrigerator. + + And so we conclude with a little summary.... + + 1) Do exactly what the manufacturer suggests for both + discharging and recharging a nicad. + + 2) Keep temperatures - especially during charging - cool or at + normal room temperature. + + 3) Never short circuit a nicad intentionally or accidentally. + + 4) Try cycling a nicad through several COMPLETE discharge and + recharge cycles if it "appears" to be faulty an incapable of + operating your equipment for a normal three or four hour + operating period. + + 5) Remove nicads from charging circuits or discontinue charging + when full charge has been reached. + + 6) Watch for white flaky corrosion deposits on the upper edge of + the cell near the pressure vent this can mean impending cell + failure and electrolyte loss. + + 7) Dispose of permanently defective nicads properly - contact + the manufacturer for instructions since cadmium is a dangerous + toxic metal and has been banned from many dump sites. Try + calling your local city hall and ask who can answer a question + about cadmium metal waste disposal. + + 8) When the nicad battery power begins to drop near the end of a + discharge cycle it will drop VERY QUICKLY due to the rapid + characteristic dropoff of nicads. Prepare for laptop shutdown + quickly. + + 9) Cycle your nicads through a FULL DEEP discharge and FULL + COMPLETE recharge frequently - they will last LONGER before you + must dispose of them and deliver MORE power when used. + + 10) Infrequently used nicads should be charged and discharged at + least once or twice every two or three months to prolong their + usable lifetime before permanent failure. + + 11) If your nicads are stated by the manufacturer to be quick + charge type, you can probably prolong their life by slow or + trickle charging them (if your charger provides that option) + since you will minimize heat and gas buildup within the cell. + Just because they can be quick charged does not mean they MUST + be quick charged. Nicads last longer and deliver more power when + not driven to extremes of temperature or overcharging. + + Tutorial finished.

Ever heard that from one of your users? Of +course you have. And did you have a problem? Most likely not. If you +had a noisy line then all of your calls would have been noisy. Then +where is the problem? It is in what is known as the trunking network. +The Trunking Network is a series of lines and trunks that connect +switching offices. All offices do not have direct trunks, so they are +routed through a connection office. Sometimes these trunks operate on +copper cable, sometimes onT-Carrier, and sometimes on the Fiber Optic +cables that are currently being installed. Any one of these methods can +cause data problems. In fact, any carrier system can cause one way data +errors. That is, the BBS can be seeing errors and the user does not see +them, or vice versa. The latter problem makes your user know for sure +that your BBS is in trouble. + +Trunking Network problems are the most difficult problems to solve. +Southern Bell does not train their Repair Clerks to handle trunking +complaints. What you should do when you experience data problems to a +certain exchange is listen to a quiet line into that office. Try to +describe the problem in terms of steady noise, "popping," "frying," +"other people on the line", etc. Tell the repair clerk that you always +have this type of problem when calling the 457 exchange when calling +from the 999 exchange. Tell her this is a trunking problem and to +please really the report to Trunking Maintenance. Never tell her that +you have a data problem. Southern Bell does not guarantee data +transmission on non-conditioned lines. (However, a non-conditioned line +that meets all of their normal residential service requirements will +support data up to 2400 baud with very little problems). Remember that +when you buy a cheap modem, you get a cheap modem. Why was it cheap? +Because they left things out like noise filters!

The mini-jacks located in your house can +cause you a lot of noise problems. They get all kind of things in them +like smoke, grease, animal hair, and dust. These things cause the +contacts to corrode. Corrosion causes noise. If you have an OHM meter +and the technical skill to use it, lift the house wire from the +terminals and check for high resistance shorts in you house with all of +your modems and phones removed from the jacks. + +Noise problems can also come from the carbon blocks located in the small +grey box located where the phone lines enter your house. Normally this +condition will appear after an electrical storm or high winds when there +may have been currents flowing on the phone lines.

BASIC UNIX IDEAS + + +The UNIX operating system is a set of programs that act as a link +between the computer and the user. The programs that allocate +the system resources and coordinate all the details of the +computer's internals is called the operating system or kernel. + +Users communicate with the kernel through a program known as the +shell. The shell is a command line interpreter; it translates +commands entered by the user and converts them into a language +that is understood by the kernel. + +Here is a basic block diagram of a UNIX system. + + + Spread Sheet Compilers + Calculators ³ + ³ ³ + V V + ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ + ³ The Shell ³ Mail and + ³ ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³<- Message + Inventory ³ ³ UNIX system kernel ³ ³ Facilities + Control --->³ ³ ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ ³ + Systems ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³<- Interpreters + ³ ³ ³ Hardware ³ ³ ³ + Formatters ->³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³<- DBMS + ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ + Calendar ³ ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ ³ ³ Word + Systems ---->³ ³ ³ ³<- Processors + ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ ³ + Editors ---->³ ³<- FTP + ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ + +The designers of UNIX used the following Maxims while writing the +new operating system. + + 1. Make each program do one thing well. These simple + programs would be called "tools." + + 2. Expect the output of every program to be the input to + another program. + + 3. Don't stop building new "tools" to do a job. The + library of tools should keep increasing. +1.1 The UNIX System + + +The main concept that unites all versions of UNIX is the +following four basics: + + +Kernel + +The kernel is the heart of the operating system. It schedules +tasks and manages data storage. The user rarely interfaces with +the kernel directly. This is the memory resident portion of the +operating system. + + +Shell + +The shell is the utility that processes your requests. When you +type in a command at your terminal, the shell interprets the +command and calls the program that you want. The shell will +support multiple users, multiple tasks, and multiple interfaces +to itself. The shell uses standard syntax for all commands. +There are two popular shells currently available, the BourneShell +(standard System V UNIX) and the CShell (BSD UNIX). Because +separate users can use different shells at the same time, the +system can appear different to different users. There is another +shell known as the KornShell (named after its designer), which is +popular with programmers. This ability to provide a customized +user interface is one of the most powerful features of UNIX. + + +Commands and Utilities + +Separate utilities can be easily combined to customize function +and output. They are flexible, adaptable, portable, and modular. +They use pipes and filters. There are over 200 standard commands +plus numerous others provided through 3rd party software. + + +Files and Directories + +The directory system supports a multilevel hierarchy. Files and +directories have access protection. Files and directories are +accessed through pathnames. Files support multiple name links. +Removable filesystems are also supported. +1.2 File Structure + + +All data in UNIX is organized into files. All files are +organized into directories. These directories are organized into +a tree-like structure called the filesystem. The following +diagram describes the top level organization of the UNIX +filesystem: + + / + (root) + ³ + ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ + ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ + bin dev etc lib tmp usr users + + +These directories, in turn, are also organized hierarchically. + + +For example: + / + ³ + ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ + ³ ³ ³ + dev etc usr + ³ ³ ³ + ÚÄÄÄÁÄÄ¿ ÚÄÄÄÁÄÄ¿ ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ + ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ + dsk rmt init.d rc0.d mail adm spool + ³ + ÚÄÄÄÁÄÄÄ¿ + ³ ³ + acct sa + + +In this example, dev, etc, usr, and adm are directories. +Directories contain other files or directories. Plain files +contain text or binary data and contain no information about +other files or directories. +Users can make use of this same structure to organize their +files. + +For example: + / + ³ + ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ + ³ ³ ³ + bin users dev + ³ + ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ + ³ ³ + bsmith sjones + ³ ³ + ÚÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄ¿ ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ + ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ + memos progs physics chem history + ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ + ÚÄÄÁÄÄ¿ ÚÄÄÁÄÄÄ¿ ÚÄÄÁÄÄÄ¿ ÚÄÄÁÄÄ¿ ÚÁÄÄ¿ + ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ + mfg eng c f77 mods calcs forms notes loc anc + + +Every file has a name. A filename is composed of one to fourteen +characters. Although you can use almost any character in a +filename, you will avoid confusion if you choose characters from +the following list. + + 1. upper case letters [A-Z] + 2. lower case letters [a-z] + 3. numbers [0-9] + 4. underscore [_] + 5. period [.] + 6. comma [,] + +The only exception is the root directory, which always uses the +symbol /. No other directory or file can use this symbol. + +Like children of one parent, no two files in the same directory +can have the same name. Files in different directories, like +children of different parents, can have the same name. + +The filenames you choose should mean something. Too often, a +directory is filled with important files with names like foobar, +wombat, and junk. A meaningless name won't help you recall the +contents of a file. Use filenames that are descriptive of the +contents. +1.3 UNIX System Files + +In order for you to have a basic understanding of the contents of +some of the system directories, here is a partial list of those +directories and what files they contain: + +/bin This is where the executable files are located. + They are available to all user. + +/dev These are device drivers. + +/etc Supervisor directory commands, configuration + files, disk configuration files, reboot files, + valid user lists, groups, ethernet, hosts, where + to send critical messages. + +/lib compiler libraries + +/tmp scratch processes, editors, compilers, and + databases + +/bsd Berkeley commands + +/mnt empty, used for disks + +/stand boot information + +/lost+found orphans go here (look here after system crash) + +/unix* executable, bootable kernel + +This is not an exhaustive list of directories that contain system +information but it is intended to remove some of the mystery +behind these directories and the types of files they contain. +1.4 Command Line Syntax + + +Users enter commands at the shell prompt. The default +BourneShell prompt is the dollar sign ($). In general, the shell +expects to see the following syntax: + +ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» +º Command Format: command options arguments º +ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ + + +Command - This is the UNIX command. Sometimes the command + is representative of the function. For example, + the command to list the contents of a directory is + ls. The first and third letters of the word + "list" are used. Unfortunately, this is not + always the case. + + +Options - These are also known as flags. The common form + is: + -A + + where A is the abbreviation of the optional + function of the command. For example, the command + ls lists the contents of a directory, while the + command ls -l provides a long listing and ls -C + provides output in columns. Several options can + be combined following one '-'; for example -CF, or + they can be entered separately as -C -F. + + +Arguments - These can be file names, user names, or qualifiers + to the command or one of its options. +Example: + +................................................................. +. $ls -CF sjones . +................................................................. + + +The UNIX command is ls list contents of directory the dash (-) +indicates the options. + + + C = Multiple-column output with entries sorted down the + columns + + F = Put a slash (/) after each filename if that file is a + directory and put an asterisk (*) after each filename + that is executable. + +sjones = name of the directory to list (it can be a + relative or absolute pathname) + + +Example: + +................................................................. +. $diff memo1 memo2 . +................................................................. + + +diff - differential file comparator command + +memo1 - filename argument + +memo2 - filename argument + + +This command will tell what lines must be changed in two files to +bring them into agreement. +Here is another example that doesn't fit the general syntax for +UNIX commands. + +Example: + +................................................................. +. $find . -atime +7 -print . +................................................................. + + +find - find files + +. - the current working directory + +-atime - True if the file has been accessed in n days (n is + the +7) + +-print - always true; causes the current path name to be + printed + + +So, this command will give a listing of all files in your current +working directory that have been accessed in the past seven days. + +Some commands have several options and/or arguments; while +others, like passwd and mail, are interactive and will prompt the +user for additional input. +1.5 Correcting Mistakes + + +Because the shell and most other utilities do not interpret the +command line (or other text) until you press the (Ret) key, you +can correct typing mistakes before you press (Ret). There are +two ways to correct typing mistakes. You can erase one character +at a time, or you can back up to the beginning of the command +line in one step. After you press (Ret), it is too late to make +a correction. + + + +1.5.1 Erasing Characters + + +When entering characters from the keyboard, you can backspace up +to and over a mistake by pressing the erase key (#) one time for +each character you wish to delete. The # will appear on the +screen, and the character preceding it will be discounted. + + +Example: + +................................................................. +. $ls phajne#y . +................................................................. + + +In this example, the e will be ignored and ls phajny is sent to +the Multimax. Multiple typos can be erased; simply press one # +for each character to be erased. The erase key will back up as +many characters as you wish, but it will not back up past the +beginning of the line. + + + +1.5.2 Deleting an Entire Line + +You can delete an entire line you are entering any time before +you press (Ret) by pressing the kill key (@). When you press the +@ (kill key), the cursor moves down to the next line and all the +way to the left. The shell doesn't give you another prompt, but +it is as though the cursor is following a prompt. The operating +system does not remove the line with the mistake but instead +ignores it. Now enter the command (or text) again from the +start. +1.5.3 Aborting Program Execution + + +Sometimes you may want to terminate a running program. UNIX +might be performing a listing that is too long to display on your +screen or for some other reason you want to terminate execution. +To terminate program execution press the Delete key. The +operating system sends a terminal interrupt signal to the shell. +When the shell receives this signal, it displays a prompt and +waits for another command. + + + +1.5.4 Controlling Output to the Screen + + +There are several ways to control the flow of characters to the +screen as a result of executing a command. Such as: + + +Ctrl-S - This keyboard function command will suspend + the flow of characters to the screen as the + result of executing a command. The screen + will not continue until the keyboard function + to resume output is given. + + +Ctrl-Q - This keyboard function command will resume + the output to the screen. + + +Hold Screen - If your terminal has this key (i.e. VT200), + you can press it once to stop output to the + screen. To resume output to the screen, + press the key again. + + +Denver BOR MULTIMAX + +Each BOR Multimax 310 has four 15 Megahertz National +Semiconductor 32-bit processors with 64 kilobytes of cache memory +rated at 2 million instructions per second (MIPS) for a total of +8 MIPS. The main memory consists of 32 megabytes (million bytes). +There can be a maximum of 14 disk drives. Each drive has a +capacity of 600 megabytes for a total capacity of 8.4 gigabytes +(a gigabyte is one thousand million bytes) + +Connection to the Multimax is accomplished through one of several +methods. Access is made through TCP/IP based Annex terminal +servers. The two Annex II servers have 32 ports each and the +Annex I has 16 ports. The Annex II servers will allow up to 64 +users access to the two Multimax computers. The Annex I is used +for access to the on-line printers. CDCnet and TELNET are other +ways to gain access to the Multimaxes. + +Printouts are handled on a 600-line-per-minute line printer and a +10-page-per-minute laser printer. Each Multimax has a hardcopy +terminal and a CRT to serve as an operator console. There are two +tape drives capable of 1600 or 6250 bits per inch (bpi) on each +system. There is also a cassette tape drive. + +Software available are FORTRAN, COBOL, C, and UNISOL (an +accounting package). The database management system is INGRES by +Relational Technology, Inc. PROCOMM+ will be the communication +interface with IBM PC's and compatibles. The operating system for +the Multimax is UMAX V. UMAX V is the name for the Encore +implementation of UNIX System V. +1.6 Logging on the Annex + + +This sample session shows how the login process is displayed on +the terminal screen and is uniform for all users.

An ordinary file is a +memo, source code program or shell script. A shell script or +program source code can be viewed or edited from your terminal. +Other files contain binary data, like programs for the kernel; +these files cannot be viewed or edited on the terminal. + +Peripheral devices such as disks, tape drives, printers, and +terminals are also assigned file names. Device files are +considered to be special files. They have 'special' +characteristics. Although input and output can be redirected to +and from a special file, do not attempt to display the contents +of a special file on your terminal. +3.1 File Access Modes + + +File access modes are the protections that can be assigned to +files. This protection can protect your files from unauthorized +reading or writing. You can even protect your files from +yourself (you can prevent accidental deletion). + +There are three access modes for files: + + r (read) read, examine, copy data in a file + + w (write) modify, delete a file + + x (execute) use the file as a command + + +Users with access to a file fall into one of three groups: + + u (user) the file's owner + + g (group) users in the same group + + o (other) everybody else + + +The first output field of the ls -l command is a ten character +field. Characters two through ten describe the file access +modes. A typical access mode listing looks like: + + rwxr-xr-x + +Of the nine columns, the first three describe modes for the +file's owner, the next three for his group, and the last three +for everyone else. Within each group of three, the first column +describes read access mode, the second write, and the third +execute. A letter in a column indicates access granted, a dash +(-) indicates access denied. + +Using the previous example, the user has r (read), w (write), and +x (execute) permissions. Members of the user's logical group can +read (r) or execute (x). Everyone else has read (r) and execute +(x) permissions, too. The effect of these permissions is that +the file's owner is the only one who can modify the file; but +everyone can examine, copy, or execute the file. +To change access modes on a file or directory, use the chmod +command. + +ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» +º Command Format: chmod º +º º +º access - access permissions º +º file1[filen] - one or more files to change permissions º +ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ + +Access can be expressed in either of two forms: + + - with letters: [ugo] [+-=] [rwx] + + - with numbers: [0-7] [0-7] [0-7] + +Let's look at the method of changing the file permissions with +letters. The letters u, g, and o represent user, group, and +others, respectively. The + (plus) sign means to add the +permission and the - (minus) sign means to remove the permission. +The = (equal) sign means to set the permissions as shown. Of +course, r,w, and x are read, write, and execute. + +If, for illustration purposes, we created a file named file1 that +had the following permissions: + + rw-rwxrwx + +and you want to give yourself (user) execute permission and take +away others' (others' here means group and everyone else) write +permissions. + + +Sample Session: + +ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ +³ $chmod u+x,g-w,o-w file1 ³ +³ $ ³ +ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ + +Now if we use the ls -la command, and look at the file +permissions for file1, they will look like this: + + rwxr-xr-x +If you want to set several protections at once use the equal +sign.

The octal digits 0 through 7 are represented in +binary in the following manner. + + + Octal Binary Corresponds to permissions + + 0 000 --- + 1 001 --x + 2 010 -w- + 3 011 -wx + 4 100 r-- + 5 101 r-x + 6 110 rw- + 7 111 rwx + + +Notice that every time a one digit (1) occurs in the binary +number the corresponding permissions are also set. Every time a +zero (0) occurs, the corresponding permission is denied. So to +change the file permissions in the previous example, this is the +command to enter: + + +Sample Session: + +ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ +³ $chmod 755 file1 ³ +³ $ ³ +ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ + +The first octal digit assigns user permissions of read, write and +execute. The second digit assigns the group permission to read +and execute. The last digit sets the others permission to read +and execute too. +3.2 Listing Contents of Directories + + +The ls command is used to display file names and their +characteristics.

This information includes: + + file type (directory, block special, character special, + fifo special, symbolic link, or ordinary file) + access modes + number of links + ownership + group affiliation + size in bytes + date and time of last modification + filename +Without a filename argument, ls displays information about the +current working directory.

There are a few differences that need +to be mentioned. + + + +4.7.1 Read + + +Access to a directory means that the user can read the contents. +The user can look at the filenames inside the directory. + + + +4.7.2 Write + + +Access means that the user can add or delete files to the +contents of the directory. + + + +4.7.3 Execute + + +Executing a directory doesn't really make a lot of sense so think +of this as a traverse permission. This access allows the user to +reference the directory name in a command. The reference is not +necessarily explicit, since the shell deduces the absolute +pathname of a command from the user's environment.

COMMUNICATION UTILITIES + + +This chapter will deal with the utilities that allow one user to +communicate with another. Some of these utilities require the +other user to be logged in and others do not. + +The mail utility can be used to send messages to one or more +users. It is not necessary for the user that is receiving the +message to be logged in. The mail utility delivers the message +to a file belonging to the recipient. The user will be notified +that a mail message exists. Messages can be saved or deleted and +a reply sent. + +The talk utility is an interactive session that allows each user +to send message simultaneously to each other. Both users must be +currently logged in for this utility to work. + +The write utility is a one-way communication. It allows you to +send a message to another user. The user must be logged in and no +reply is possible. + +5.1 Sending Electronic Mail + + +The basic command line format for sending mail is: + +ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» +º Command Format: mailx [options] [user1[usern]] º +º º +º options - see man pages for a complete list º +º º +º user1[usern] - one or more users to get the mail º +º message º +º º +ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ + +The username is the name assigned by the system administrator to +a user on the UNIX system (for example, rharding). The username +can also include a system name if the recipient is on another +UNIX system that can communicate with the sender's (for example, +sys2!rharding). Let's assume that the recipient is on the local +UNIX system. + + +Sample Session: + +ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ +³ $mailx rharding(Ret) ³ +³ Subject: ³ +ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ + +Now enter the subject of your message followed by a (Ret).

In this case, version 3.1. There is a reminder that help +is available by typing the ?. The second line shows the path +name of the file used as input (usually the same as the username) +and a count of the total number of messages and their status. +The messages are numbered in sequence with the latest one +received on the bottom of the list. To the left of the sequence +numbers, there may be a status indicator; N for new, U for +unread. The > symbol points to the current message. The other +fields in the header line show the login of the sender, day, +date, and time it was delivered. The next field has the number +of lines and characters in the message. The last field is the +subject of the message; it might be blank. + +To read the mail messages you can do any of the following steps: + + +(Ret) - This will cause the current message to + be displayed.

SHELL BASICS + + +There have been several shells written for UNIX. They have +different features and each is in use through out the world. The +BourneShell is the accepted standard for System V UNIX. Another +shell is called the Cshell, named for "C" which is the high-level +programming language. Another shell is the KornShell; it is +named after the person who developed it, David Korn. It has more +features than the BourneShell and is of special interest to +programmers. + +The purpose of this chapter is to give you some idea as to the +functions available through the shells and their general +function. Details of shell programming are discussed in another +class, "UNIX Bourne Shell Programming". + +UMAX makes full use of the ASCII character set. Unlike operating +system command languages like VMS or NOS, UNIX is case sensitive. +In addition, several characters have special meanings to the +shell. We have already seen that a slash (/) by itself indicates +the root directory and is used with directory, subdirectory, and +filenames to indicate an absolute or relative pathname. + +Other special characters that have meaning to the shell include: + + ` ' $ { } || && ; + +Input to a command is usually taken from your keyboard, and the +output of a command is normally displayed on your monitor screen. +Keyboard input is referred to as "standard input" or "stdin," and +screen output as "standard output" or "stdout." +6.1 Input Redirection + + +It is possible to instruct UNIX to get data from a file rather +than from the keyboard. This is called input redirection. To +indicate that input to a command is to come from a file rather +than the keyboard, use the input redirection character (<). + +ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» +º Command Format: command < input-file1 º +º º +º command - a command º +º º +º input-file1 - input file that supplies input º +º to the command º +ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ + +A Memory Trick: The less-than symbol looks like a funnel. If + you pour liquid into the wide end, it flows + to the narrow end. The input-file "pours" + its contents into the command. + + +Sample Session: + +ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ +³ $mailx phajny < report ³ +³ $ ³ +ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ + +The file named report will be sent to the login name phajny. +Mail normally expects the input to come from standard input, the +keyboard. The input redirection symbol causes the input to mail +to come from the file called report. +6.2 Output Redirection + +It is also possible to instruct UNIX to send data to a file +rather than sending it to the default monitor screen. This is +called output redirection. To indicate that the output from a +command is to go into a file rather than be displayed on the +monitor screen, use the output redirection character >. + +ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» +º Command Format: command > output-file1 º +º º +º command - a command º +º º +º output-file1 - output file that will receive the output º +º from the command º +ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ + + +The memory trick still works; only now the funnel points toward +the file that will receive the output. + +Sample Session: + +ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ +³ $ls -l > listing ³ +³ $ ³ +ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ + +The output of the ls command will not be displayed on the screen, +instead it will be in the file named listing. If the file does +not exist, the shell will create it. If it already exists, it +will be overwritten. + +WARNING: The shell will NOT issue a warning about overwriting + the original file. + +It is possible to use the cat command to create a file and input +text into that file using output redirection. The following +example shows how this can be done. + +Sample session: + +ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ +³ $cat > file1 ³ +³ This is a line of text. ³ +³ This is another line of text. ³ +³ (Ctrl-D) ³ +³ $cat file1 ³ +³ This is a line of text. ³ +³ This is another line of text. ³ +³ $ ³ +ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ +6.3 Output Redirection with Append + + +The following shell command will also redirect the output to a +file but instead of overwriting the existing file, it will append +the output to the end of output-file. + +ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» +º Command Format: command >> output-file1 º +º º +º command - a command º +º º +º output-file1 - receives the output from command º +ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ + +Believe it or not, the memory trick still works; only in this +case, one funnel feeds onto another.

On some terminals the pipe symbol is a vertical +bar and on others it is a broken vertical bar. Both will work +exactly the same. The following command format shows how to use +the pipe symbol: + +ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» +º Command Format: command1 | command2 º +º º +º command1 - a command º +º º +º command2 - a second command º +ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ + +Example: + +................................................................. +. $man acct | pg . +................................................................. + +The output from the command man are processed by the pg command +before appearing on your screen. Normally the output from the +man command will appear on the monitor line after line until the +end is reached. In this case, the output is "piped" to the pg +command; and the screen will stop scrolling after 23 lines so you +can read them. +6.6 Wildcards + + +Wildcards are special characters that cause the shell to search +over a range of possible values. + + ? represents any one character, while + + * stands for any number of characters including none. + +Example: + jo?eph + +This indicates that the third letter of the string "jo eph" could +be any single character. Any character could be substituted for +the ? character, including numeric and special characters. + +To limit the range of possible values, enclose the possibilities +in brackets [ ]. + +Example: + jo[a-z]eph + +This example limits the range of characters to the set lowercase +a through lowercase z. Uppercase characters, numeric, or special +characters would not make a match. Notice that only one charater +will make a match. + +Using a comma as a separator between choices we can further +restrict the range. + +Example: + jo[s,m,5]eph + +The only set of characters that will make a match are lowercase +s, lowercase m, and the number 5. No other character will make a +match. + + +The string jos* causes the shell to look for every string that +begins with the letters "jos," regardless of their length while +[i-k]*h finds every string that begins with "i", "j", or "k" and +ends with an "h". + + + + + + + + + +Wildcards are extremely useful in wide variety of applications. +For example, if you want to use the man pages, but do not know +the exact command names on the subject of system accounting, try + +Sample Session: + +................................................................. +. $man acc* . +................................................................. + +All of the commands that begin with the letters acc followed by +any string (including none) will be passed to the man command as +arguments. + + +If you wanted to get a listing of all the files in your current +working directory that ended in .c (these are the C source code +programs). You could enter the following command: + +Sample Session: + +................................................................. +. $ls *.c . +................................................................. +In order for the shell to stop interpretation of a special +character (i.e., use it as a normal character), it must be +preceded by a backslash (\) or enclosed in single quotes. + +Example: + jo\?eph + or + 'jo?eph' + +Both of these examples represent the string jo?eph. The shell +will not interpret the question mark character as a wildcard +metacharacter. + + +6.7 Reestablishing a Background Job + + +Processes in UNIX can run in the foreground or the background. +Foreground processes are interactive; the input is read from the +keyboard or standard in, and the out goes to the monitor screen +or standard out. Background jobs run with no interaction with an +interactive terminal. Your current interactive process can be +suspended by typing the break character at the shell prompt. + + +Sample Session: + +ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ +³ $ ³ +³ annex: ³ +ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ + + +The jobs command displays information on all current jobs +(sessions). The most recent job is marked with a plus sign (+), +and the next previous is marked with a dash or minus sign (-). A +job begins when you execute a command to connect to a host (or +another Annex). A job ends when you logout from the host or +terminate the job at the Annex with the kill or hangup command. + +The number of possible jobs allowed per user is determined by the +network administrator. The number of jobs can range from 1 to 16 +with a default of 3. +The Annex command to display the information about the current +job(s) is: + +ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» +º Command Format: jobs º +ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ + + +If there are no jobs, the annex: prompt will be displayed.

Logout of the Multimax and the Annex. +7. UMAX FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL (FTP) + + +File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a utility which can transfer +files to and from TCP/IP networked computers. TCP/IP stands for +Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol and consists of a +suite of defacto standard protocols for networking computers. +FTP is one protocol in that suite. (Other significant protocols +within TCP/IP are TELNET, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), +and Network File Systems (NFS).) The Client portion of UNIX FTP +lets users on the Multimax access file systems on a remote +computer. The Server portion of UNIX FTP lets users on remote +computers access Multimax files. For Reclamation, these remote +computers would be VAXes, CYBERs, IBMs, and Sun workstations. + +Using FTP, you can access directories and files on a remote +computer and perform common operations, such as list and change +working directories, transfer files, create directories, delete +working directories, delete files and directories, and rename +files and directories. Once you have entered the FTP utility, +you make a connection to the desired remote computer and then +work with the remote computer's files using FTP commands. The +connection to the remote computer's FTP remains in effect until +terminated by the user. Multimax FTP supports both local help +for FTP commands and remote help, which displays FTP elements +available on the remote computer. + +Throughout this chapter, the term "local computer" will refer to +the Multimax. The term "remote computer" will refer to the CYBER +mainframe or the VAX minicomputer. Please be aware that these +procedures will work for any computer connected to the Ethernet +that has an FTP server installed. The messages that appear may +be different, but the process will be the same. +7.1 Initializing FTP on UMAX + + +FTP can be invoked on the Multimax using the following syntax: + +ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» +º º +º Command Format: ftp [options] [host] º +º º +º options - see man pages for a complete list º +º º +º host - the name of the remote computer º +º º +ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ + +NOTE: UNIX is case sensitive.

INTRODUCTION TO vi + + +The vi editor was developed at the University of California, +Berkeley. It was originally included as part of BSD UNIX. It +became an official part of AT&T UNIX with the release of System +V. Before vi was invented, the standard UNIX editor was ed. The +ed editor was line oriented and made it difficult to see the +context of the file being edited. + +The next progression was an editor called ex. The ex editor had +some distinct advantages over ed. It allowed you to display an +entire screen of text instead of just one line at a time. While +in the ex editor, you could give the command vi (for visual +mode). Users used the visual mode so much that developers of ex +made it possible to use the display editing feature without +having to enter ex and then vi. They called the new facility +simply vi. + +The vi editor does its work in a work buffer. When you start vi, +it copies the disk file into the work buffer. During the editing +session, changes are made to this copy. The contents of the disk +file are not changed until you write the contents of the work +buffer to the disk file. + +The command to enter the vi editor is: + +ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» +º Command Format: vi º +º º +º file1 - the filename to edit º +ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ + +Your screen is cleared, then the first lines of the file are +displayed, and the cursor is positioned at the top of the screen. +The bottom line of your screen is reserved for certain command +mode activities and for error and status messages and does not +contain any of the file's text. If the file already exists, the +bottom line lists the filename in quotes and the number of lines +and characters it contains. If the file is new, "New file" is +displayed next to the filename. If the file does not fill an +entire screen, a tilde (~) character appears in the leftmost +column of any blank lines. + +By default, you are always in command mode at the start of a vi +session. The most common command mode activities are: + + cursor positioning + entering text mode + moving, copying, and deleting text + storing changes + quitting +Whenever you wish to return to command mode, or are unsure of +what mode you are in, press the Esc key. + +Esc can be entered any number of times without harm. The Esc key +on the VT terminals is the Ctrl-3 combination. On the PC, it is +the key marked Esc. +8.1 vi: Cursor Positioning + + +Below is a list of cursor positioning commands. Characters are +not echoed on your screen when one of these commands is executed. +The cursor simply moves to the desired location. If a command is +not accepted, the cursor remains where it is. The current line +is defined as the line on which the cursor currently resides. +The letter N is a repeat factor. + + +N+ move down N lines from current line. The cursor can be + anyplace on the current line. When complete, the + cursor will be located at the first character on the + line N lines down from the current line. + + +N- move up N lines from current line. The cursor can be + anyplace on the current line. When complete, the + cursor will be located on the first character on the + line located N lines up from the current line. + +(Ret) The cursor can be located anyplace on the current line. + The will be on the first character of the next line. + +$ The cursor will move to the end of the current line + +NG This command will move the cursor to line N. Default + is to move to the last line. + + +Ctrl-D move down 1/2 screen (11 lines) + +Ctrl-U move up 1/2 screen (11 lines) + + +NOTE: Words are delimited by spaces (ie., a word + begins and ends with a space). + + +Nw The cursor will be on the first character of the word + located N words from the current word. The current + word is the word where the cursor is located. The + default is to skip to the beginning of the next word. + +Nb The cursor will be on the first character of the word + located N words back from the current word. The + default is to skip back to the beginning of the + previous word. + +e The cursor will skip to the end of the current word. +The following keys are also defined for moving around the screen: + +h back one space + +j down one line + +k up one line + +l forward one space + +The arrow keys will also work. + +CAUTION NOTE: If you hold the arrow key down to move quickly to + another area of the text, a line might be inserted + into your file. +8.2 vi: Text Mode + + +Several commands in command mode allow you to enter text. Once +the command is entered, all other characters that you type are +inserted in your text until you press the Esc key. + + +To add text, use: + +I enter text mode, additional text appears at the beginning of + the current line. + +i enter text mode, additional text appears before the current + cursor position. + +A enter text mode, additional text appears at the end of the + current line. + +a enter text mode, additional text appears after the current + position. + +O enter text mode, open a line above the current line. + +o enter text mode, open a line below the current line. + + +To replace text, use: + +R replace characters until Esc + +r replace one character at current cursor position, then + return to command mode + + +To substitute text, use: + +Ns substitute character for the current N characters until + Esc. Default is to substitute for the current + character until Esc. +8.3 vi: Deleting Text + + +vi commands for deleting text take effect relative to the +cursor's current position. Text deletion commands are not echoed +on your screen. + +Ndd delete N lines starting at the current line. The + default is to delete the current line. + +Ndw delete N words starting with the current word. The + default is to delete the current word. + +Nx delete N characters starting at the current cursor + position. The default is to delete one character. + +D delete remainder of line +8.4 vi: Copying Text + + +Copying text is performed using one of the "yank and put" command +pairs. The most straight forward command sequence for copying +is: + + 1. Yank a word, line, or number of lines. A copy of the + yanked text is stored invisibly. The original text is + not disturbed. + + 2. Move the cursor to the desired location. + + 3. Put the yanked copy into place. + + 4. Move the cursor to the next block of text you want to + copy, then go to step 1. + + +Here are some yank and put commands: + + +NY yank N lines. Default is to yank one line. + +Nyw yank N words. Default is to yank one word. + +P put yanked lines above current cursor position + or + put yanked words before current cursor position + + +p put yanked lines below current cursor position + or + put yanked words after current cursor position +8.5 vi: Moving Text + + +Moving text from one area to another can be accomplished in +several different ways. You can use whichever method is the +easiest for you to remember. + + 1. Yank, put, and delete: + + a. Yank the desired text. + + b. Move the cursor to the new location and then "put" + the "yanked" text into its new location. + + c. Move the cursor back to the original text and + delete it. + + + or + + 2. Delete and put: + + a. Delete the desired text + + b. Move the cursor to the new location + + c. Use a put command to add the text. + + + +NOTE: The delete command stores an invisible copy + of the deleted text in a buffer. This is + done so the undo command is capable of + restoring the previous command. That's why + it is possible to move that deleted text to + another area. +8.6 vi: Restoring the Last Change + + +The Undo command will reverse the last command you just entered. +It will restore text that you have changed or deleted by mistake. +The undo command will undo only the most recently changed text. + +ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» +º Command Format: u º +º º +º u - undo the last change º +º º +º U - restore the current line to the way it was before you º +º started changing it, even if several changes were made º +º º +ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ + +If you delete a line and then change a word, undo will restore +the changed word but will not restore the line. +8.7 vi: Recovering Text After a Crash + + +You can often recover text that would have been lost because of a +system crash. When the system has been brought back up enter the +following command to see if the system saved a copy of your work +buffer: + + +Example: + +................................................................. +. $vi -r filename . +................................................................. + + +If your work buffer was saved, you will be editing a recent copy +of the work buffer. Use the w command to write the edited +version to the disk file. + +The -r option will recover the version of filename that was in +the buffer when the crash occurred. If no buffer was saved, the +editor will assume you are going to edit a new empty file called +filename. +8.8 vi: Saving Text and Quitting + + +Commands to save (write) text and to quit are entered from the +Last Line Mode. The Last Line Mode is entered by entering a +colon (:) character from the command mode. + +To save changes without exiting vi, enter: + + +Example: + +................................................................. +. :w . +................................................................. + +This command is displayed on the status line as it is typed in. +The commands are executed by pressing the Enter key. The file's +name and number of lines and characters are displayed on the +status line. With no option, the work buffer will be written +back to the original disk file. If, for some reason, you don't +have write permission to the working directory, you can copy the +work buffer to another file by specifying the complete pathname +of a temporary file. + + +Example: + +................................................................. +. :w /user0/rharding/temp . +................................................................. + +Now you can exit vi and not lose any of your work. The editing +session is saved in the file /user/rharding/temp. + +To exit vi without saving any of the changes since the last :w +(or to discard all changes if no :w), enter: + + +Example: + +................................................................. +. :q! . +................................................................. + +The exclamation mark (!) (in slang, it's a bang) indicates to +quit the current editing session, regardless. If you just enter +q alone, the editor will warn you that existing changes were not +saved. It is difficult to get out of this mode. Use the +exclamation mark to indicate do the exit no matter what and not +save the changes since the last w command. +To save and quit, enter: + + +Example: + +................................................................. +. :wq . +................................................................. + +The w command will write the work buffer to the disk file. The q +command will exit the editor. The shell prompt ($) will be +displayed after the file has been saved and the editor exited. +8.9 Other vi Commands + + +To save the file you are editing under a different name, use: + + +Example: + +................................................................. +. :w newfile . +................................................................. + +To copy in the contents of another file, position the cursor on +the last line you want to be above the new text, then execute: + + +Example: + +................................................................. +. :r filename . +................................................................. + +The contents of filename will appear on your screen below the +last cursor position.

In addition, not all options and possibilities for +each command are covered. For complete information about a UMAX +command, please use the on-line manual pages. +9.2 UNIX Primer Plus + + +This manual is intended to be the reference manual for UNIX. It +has several handy features. The inside of the front cover has a +listing of UNIX command and the page number on which a +description of the command and its options can be found. In +addition, there are some quick reference sheets that can be +removed from the book and used at your terminal. The book is +well written, humorous, and contains a lot of information about +UNIX. There might be subtle differences between generic UNIX and +UMAX. + +Another manual that is a good reference for UNIX is "A Practical +Guide to UNIX System V" by Mark G. Sobell. + + +9.3 TAB (Technical Assistance Bulletin) + + +The TAB is published monthly and contains current articles and +helpful hints for the Multimax minicomputers and UNIX in general. +To be added to the mailing list to receive a FREE subscription, +contact Gloria Armstrong (FTS) 776-4433 or (303) 236-4433. + + + +9.4 Local Support + + +If you have a local technical person that is available, try them. +Some regional offices have a hotline that you can call for +assistance. + + + +9.5 CCS Hotline + + +The is a technical Hotline service available in the Denver +office. This service is available to the entire Bureau. This is +the fastest way to get your questions answered. The Hotline +number is (FTS) 776-HOTT (4688) or Commercial (303) 236-HOTT +(4688). +9.6 CBT (DOS based training for UNIX) + + +There is a Computer Based Training course available on a PC in +the Denver training room. It runs under DOS and doesn't need to +be connected to a UNIX machine. It is easy to use and has +lessons for the beginning and advanced UNIX user, as well as +courses in C programming and UNIX system administration. It can +also give you instruction about a particular command or topic +that interests you. +Workshop 9 + + +Lucky you!

It is possible to use the + command mode of ex from within vi and vice-versa. The visual + commands are described on this manual page; how to set + options (like automatically numbering lines and + automatically starting a new output line after a carriage + return) and all ex(1) line editor commands are described on + the ex(1) manual page. + + When using vi, changes made to the file are reflected in + what is displayed on the terminal screen. The position of + the cursor on the screen indicates the position within the + file. + +INVOCATION + The following invocation options are interpreted by vi: + + -t tag Edit the file containing the tag and position the + cursor at its definition. The file (tags) + containing the tag is found in the current directory + or in /usr/lib/tags. Below is an example of a tags + file: + + line /tmp/vi.file /line/ + this /tmp/vi.file /this/ + + Using "vi -t line", the edited file will be + "/tmp/vi.file". The file will be searched for the + first occurrence of "line", and the cursor will be + placed at "line". + + -r file Edit file after an editor or system crash. + (Recovers the version of file that was in the buffer + when the crash occurred.) + + -L List the name of all files saved as the result of an + editor or system crash. + + -wn Set the default window size to n. This is useful + when using the editor over a slow speed line. + + -R Readonly mode; the readonly flag is set, preventing + accidental overwriting of the file. + + -x Encryption option; when used, vi simulates the X + command of ex(1) and prompts the user for a key. + This key is used to encrypt and decrypt text using + the algorithm of crypt(1). The X command makes an + educated guess to determine whether or not text read + in is encrypted. The temporary buffer file is + encrypted also, using a transformed version of the + key typed in for the -x option. See crypt(1). + Also, see the WARNING section at the end of this + manual page. + + -C Encryption option, same as the -x option, except + that vi simulates the C command of ex(1). The C + command is like the X command of ex(1), except that + all text read in is assumed to have been encrypted. + + -c command Begin editing by executing the specified + editor command (usually a search or positioning + command). + + The file argument indicates one or more files to be edited. + + The view invocation is the same as vi except that the + readonly flag is set. + + The vedit invocation is intended for beginners. It is the + same as vi except that the report flag is set to 1, the + showmode and novice flags are set, and magic is turned off. + These defaults make it easier to learn vi. + +VI MODES + Command Normal and initial mode. Other modes return to + command mode upon completion. ESC (escape) is used + to cancel a partial command. + + Input Entered by setting the following options: a i A I o + O c s R. Arbitrary text may then be entered. + Input mode is normally terminated with ESC + character, or abnormally with interrupt. + + Last line + Reading input for : / ? or !; terminate with CR to + execute, interrupt to cancel. +COMMAND SUMMARY + In the descriptions, CR stands for carriage return and ESC + stands for the escape key. + + Sample Commands + + <- | | -> arrow keys move the cursor + h j k l same as arrow keys + itextESC insert text + cwnewESC change word to new + easESC pluralize word (end of word; append s; + escape from input state) + x delete a character + dw delete a word + dd delete a line + 3dd delete 3 lines + u undo previous change + ZZ exit vi, saving changes + :q!CR quit, discarding changes + /textCR search for text + U D scroll up or down + :ex cmdCR any ex or ed command + + Counts Before vi Commands + Numbers may be typed as a prefix to some commands.

The program transfers files to and from a remote + network site. + + The client host with which ftp is to communicate can be + specified on the command line. In this case, ftp immediately + attempts to establish a connection to an FTP server on that + host; otherwise, ftp enters its command interpreter and + waits for instruction, displaying the prompt ftp>. + + ftp recognizes the following commands: + + ! [ command [ args ] ] + Invoke an interactive shell on the local machine. + If there are arguments, the first is taken to be a + command to execute directly, with the rest of the + arguments as its arguments. + + $ macro-name [ args ] + Execute the macro-name that was defined with + the macdef command. Arguments are passed to the + macro unglobbed. + + account [ passwd ] + Supply a supplemental password required by a + remote system for access to resources once a login + has been successfully completed. If no argument + is included, the user will be prompted for an + account password in a non-echoing input mode. + + append local-file [ remote-file ] + Append a local file to a file on the remote + machine. If remote-file is left unspecified, the + local file name is used to name the remote file + after being altered by any ntrans or nmap setting. + File transfer uses the current settings for type, + format, mode, and structure. + + ascii Set the file transfer type to network ASCII. This + is the default type. + bell Sound a bell after each file transfer command is + completed. + + binary Set the file transfer type to support binary image + transfer. + + bye Terminate the FTP session with the remote server + and exit ftp. + + case Toggle remote computer file name case mapping + during mget commands. When case is on (default is + off), remote computer file names with all letters + in upper case are written in the local directory + with the letters mapped to lower case. + + cd remote-directory + Change the working directory on the remote machine + to remote-directory. + + cdup Change the remote machine working directory to the + parent of the current remote machine working + directory. + + close Terminate the FTP session with the remote server, + and return to the command interpreter. Any + defined macros are erased. + + cr Toggle carriage return stripping during ASCII type + file retrieval. Records are denoted by a carriage + return/linefeed sequence during ASCII type file + transfer. When cr is on (the default), carriage + returns are stripped from this sequence to conform + with the UNIX single linefeed record delimiter. + Records on non-UNIX remote systems may contain + single linefeeds; when an ASCII type transfer is + made, these linefeeds may be distinguished from a + record delimiter only when cr is off. + + delete remote-file + Delete the file remote-file on the remote machine. + + debug [ debug-value ] + Toggle debugging mode. If an optional debug-value + is specified, it is used to set the debugging + level. When debugging is on, ftp prints each + command sent to the remote machine, preceded by + the string --> . + dir [ remote-directory ] [ local-file ] + Print the contents of directory, remote-directory, + and, optionally, place the output in local-file. + If no directory is specified, the current working + directory on the remote machine is used. If no + local file is specified, or local-file is -, + output comes to the terminal. + + disconnect + A synonym for close. + + form format + Set the file transfer form to format. The default + format is file. + + get remote-file [ local-file ] + Retrieve the remote-file and store it on the local + machine. If the local file name is not specified, + it is given the same name it has on the remote + machine, subject to alteration by the current + case, ntrans, and nmap settings. The current + settings for type, form, mode, and structure are + used while transferring the file. + + glob Toggle filename expansion for mdelete, mget and + mput. If globbing is turned off with glob, the + file name arguments are taken literally and not + expanded. Globbing for mput is done as in csh(1). + For mdelete and mget, each remote file name is + expanded separately on the remote machine and the + lists are not merged. Expansion of a directory + name is likely to be different from expansion of + the name of an ordinary file: the exact result + depends on the foreign operating system and FTP + server, and can be previewed by doing + "mls remote-files -". Note: mget and mput are + not meant to transfer entire directory subtrees of + files. That can be done by transferring a tar(1) + archive of the subtree (in binary mode). + + hash Toggle number-sign (#) printing for each data + block transferred. The size of a data block is + 1024 bytes. + + help [ command ] + Print a description of command. With no argument, + ftp prints a list of the known commands. + + lcd [ directory ] + Change the working directory on the local machine. + If no directory is specified, changes to the + user's home directory. + + ls [ remote-directory ] [ local-file ] + Print an abbreviated listing of the contents of a + directory on the remote machine. If remote- + directory is left unspecified, the current working + directory is used. If no local file is specified, + the output is sent to the terminal. + + macdef macro-name + Define a macro. Subsequent lines are stored as + the macro macro-name; a null line (consecutive + newline characters in a file or carriage returns + from the terminal) terminates macro input mode. + There is a limit of 16 macros and 4096 total + characters in all defined macros. Macros remain + defined until a close command is executed. The + macro processor interprets "$" and "\" as special + characters. A "$" followed by a number (or + numbers) is replaced by the corresponding argument + on the macro invocation command line. A "$" + followed by an "i" signals that macro processor + that the executing macro is to be looped. On the + first pass "$i" is replaced by the first argument + on the macro invocation command line, on the + second pass it is replaced by the second argument, + and so on. A "\" followed by any character is + replaced by that character. Use the "\" to + prevent special treatment of the "$". + + mdelete [ remote-files ] + Delete the specified files on the remote machine. + + mdir remote-files local-file + Like dir, except multiple remote files may be + specified. If interactive prompting is on, ftp + will prompt the user to verify that the last + argument is indeed the target local file for + receiving mdir output. + + mget remote-files + Expand the remote-files on the remote machine and + do a get for each file name thus produced. See + glob for details on the filename expansion. + Resulting file names will then be processed + according to case, ntrans, and nmap settings. + Files are transferred into the local working + directory, which can be changed with + "lcd directory"; new local directories can be + created with "! mkdir directory". + + mkdir directory-name + Make a directory on the remote machine. + mls remote-files local-file + Like ls, except multiple remote files may be + specified. If interactive prompting is on, ftp + will prompt the user to verify that the last + argument is indeed the target local file for + receiving mls output. + + mode [ mode-name ] + Set the file transfer mode to mode-name. The + default mode is stream. + + mput local-files + Expand wild cards in the list of local files given + as arguments and do a put for each file in the + resulting list. See glob for details of filename + expansion. Resulting file names will then be + processed according to ntrans and nmap settings. + + nmap [ inpattern outpattern ] + Set or unset the filename mapping mechanism. If + no arguments are specified, the filename mapping + mechanism is unset. If arguments are specified, + remote filenames are mapped during mput commands + and put commands issued without a specified remote + target filename. If arguments are specified, + local filenames are mapped during mget commands + and get commands issued without a specified local + target filename. This command is useful when + connecting to a non-UNIX remote computer with + different file naming conventions or practices. + The mapping follows the pattern set by inpattern + and outpattern. inpattern is a template for + incoming filenames (which may have already been + processed according to the ntrans and case + settings). Variable templating is accomplished by + including the sequences "$1", "$2", ..., "$9" in + inpattern. Use "\" to prevent this special + treatment of the "$" character. All other + characters are treated literally, and are used to + determine the nmap inpattern variable values. For + example, given inpattern $1.$2 and the remote file + name mydata.data, $1 would have the value mydata, + and $2 would have the value data. The outpattern + determines the resulting mapped filename. The + sequences "$1", "$2", ..., "$9" are replaced by + any value resulting from the inpattern template. + The sequence "$0" is replaced by the original + filename. Additionally, the sequence + "[seq1,seq2]" is replaced by seq1 if seq1 is not a + null string; otherwise it is replaced by seq2. + For example, the command "nmap $1.$2.$3 + [$1,$2].[$2,file]" would yield the output filename + myfile.data for input filenames myfile.data and + myfile.data.old, myfile.file for the input + filename myfile, and myfile.myfile for the input + filename .myfile. Spaces may be included in + outpattern, as in the example: + + nmap $1 | sed "s/ *$//" > $1 + + Use the "\" character to prevent special treatment + of the "$", "[", "]", and "," characters. + + ntrans [ inchars [ outchars ] ] + Set or unset the filename character translation + mechanism. If no arguments are specified, the + filename character translation mechanism is unset. + If arguments are specified, characters in remote + filenames are translated during mput commands and + put commands issued without a specified remote + target filename. If arguments are specified, + characters in local filenames are translated + during mget commands and get commands issued + without a specified local target filename. This + command is useful when connecting to a non-UNIX + remote computer with different file naming + conventions or practices. Characters in a + filename matching a character in inchars are + replaced with the corresponding character in + outchars. If the character's position in inchars + is longer than the length of outchars, the + character is deleted from the file name. + + open host [ port ] + Establish a connection to the specified host's FTP + server. An optional port number can be supplied, + in which case, ftp attempts to contact an FTP + server at that port. If the auto-login option is + on (default), ftp also attempts to automatically + log the user in to the FTP server (see below). + + prompt Toggle interactive prompting. Interactive + prompting occurs during multiple file transfers to + allow the user to selectively retrieve or store + files. If prompting is turned off (default), any + mget or mput transfers all files and mdelete will + delete all files. + proxy ftp-command + Execute an ftp command on a secondary control + connection. This command allows simultaneous + connection to two remote FTP servers for + transferring files between the two servers. The + first proxy command should be an open, to + establish the secondary control connection. Enter + the command "proxy ?" to see other ftp commands + executable on the secondary connection. The + following commands behave differently when + prefaced by proxy: open will not define new + macros during the auto-login process, close will + not erase existing macro definitions, get and mget + transfer files from the host on the primary + control connection to the host on the secondary + control connection, and put, mput, and append + transfer files from the host on the secondary + control connection to the host on the primary + control connection. Third party file transfers + depend upon support of the FTP protocol PASV + command by the server on the secondary control + connection. + + put local-file [ remote-file ] + Store a local file on the remote machine. If + remote-file is left unspecified, the local file + name is used in naming the remote file, after + processing according to any ntrans or nmap + settings. File transfer uses the current settings + for type, format, mode, and structure. + + pwd Print the name of the current working directory on + the remote machine. + + quit A synonym for bye. + + quote arg1 arg2 ... + The arguments specified are sent, verbatim, to the + remote FTP server. + + recv remote-file [ local-file ] + A synonym for get. + + remotehelp [ command-name ] + Request help from the remote FTP server. If a + command-name is specified, it is supplied to the + server as well. + + rename [ from ] [ to ] + Rename, on the remote machine, the file from to + the file to. + reset Clear reply queue. This command re-synchronizes + command/reply sequencing with the remote FTP + server. Resynchronization may be necessary + following a violation of the FTP protocol by the + remote server. + + rmdir directory-name + Delete a directory on the remote machine. + + runique Toggle storing of files on the local system with + unique filenames. If a file already exists with a + name equal to the target local filename for a get + or mget command, a ".1" is appended to the name. + If the resulting name matches another existing + file, a ".2" is appended to the original name. If + this process continues up to ".99", an error + message is printed, and the transfer does not take + place. The generated unique filename will be + reported. Note that runique will not affect local + files generated from a shell command (see below). + The default value is off. + + send local-file [ remote-file ] + A synonym for put. + + sendport Toggle the use of PORT commands. By default, ftp + attempts to use a PORT command when establishing a + connection for each data transfer. The use of PORT + commands can prevent delays when performing + multiple file transfers. If the PORT command + fails, ftp uses the default data port. When the + use of PORT commands is disabled, no attempt is + made to use them for each data transfer. This is + useful for certain FTP implementations that do + ignore PORT commands but wrongly indicate they + have been accepted. + + status Show the current status of ftp. + + struct [ struct-name ] + Set the file transfer structure to struct-name. + The default structure is stream. + + sunique Toggle storing of files on remote machine under + unique file names. Remote FTP server must support + the FTP protocol STOU command for successful + completion. The remote server will report a + unique name. Default value is off. + + tenex Set the file transfer type to that needed to talk + to TENEX machines. + trace Toggle packet tracing. + + type [ type-name ] + Set the file transfer type to type-name. If no + type-name is specified, the current type is + printed. The default type is network ascii. + + user user-name [ password ] [ account ] + The user identifies him/herself to the remote FTP + server. If the password is not specified and the + server requires it, ftp prompts the user for it + (after disabling local echo). If an account field + is not specified, and the FTP server requires it, + the user is prompted for it. If an account field + is specified, an account command will be relayed + to the remote server after the login sequence is + completed if the remote server did not require it + for logging in. Unless ftp is invoked with + "auto-login" disabled, this process is done + automatically on initial connection to the FTP + server. + + verbose Toggle verbose mode. In verbose mode, all + responses from the FTP server are displayed to the + user. In addition, if verbose is on, when a file + transfer completes, statistics regarding the + efficiency of the transfer are reported. By + default, verbose is on. + + ? [ command ] + A synonym for help. + + Command arguments that have embedded spaces can be quoted + with double quote (") marks. + +ABORTING A FILE TRANSFER + To abort a file transfer, use the terminal interrupt key + (usually C). Sending transfers will be immediately + halted. Receiving transfers will be halted by sending a FTP + protocol ABOR command to the remote server, and discarding + any further data received. The speed at which this is + accomplished depends upon the remote server's support for + ABOR processing. If the remote server does not support the + ABOR command, an ftp> prompt will not appear until the + remote server has completed sending the requested file. + + The terminal interrupt key sequence will be ignored when ftp + has completed any local processing and is awaiting a reply + from the remote server. A long delay in this mode may + result from the ABOR processing described above, or from + unexpected behavior by the remote server, including + violations of the FTP protocol. If the delay results from + unexpected remote server behavior, the local ftp program + must be killed by hand. + +FILE NAMING CONVENTIONS + Files specified as arguments to ftp commands are processed + according to the following rules. + + 1. If the file name is -, the standard input (for reading) + or the standard output (for writing) is used. + + 2. If the first character of the file name is a bar |, the + remainder of the argument is interpreted as a shell + command. ftp then forks a shell, using popen(3S) with + the argument supplied, and reads (writes) from the + stdout (stdin). If the shell command includes spaces, + the argument must be quoted; for example, "| ls -lt". A + particularly useful example of this mechanism is + "dir | more". + + 3. Failing the above checks, if globbing is enabled, local + file names are expanded according to the rules used in + the csh(1); see the glob command. If the ftp command + expects a single local file (e.g., put), only the first + filename generated by the globbing operation is used. + + 4. For mget commands and get commands with unspecified + local file names, the local filename is the remote + filename, which may be altered by a case, ntrans, or + nmap setting. The resulting filename may then be + altered if runique is on. + + 5. For mput commands and put commands with unspecified + remote file names, the remote filename is the local + filename, which may be altered by a ntrans or nmap + setting. The resulting filename may then be altered by + the remote server if sunique is on. + +FILE TRANSFER PARAMETERS + The FTP specification identifies many parameters that can + affect a file transfer. The type can be one of ascii, image + (binary), ebcdic, and local byte size (for PDP-10's and + PDP-20's mostly). ftp supports the ascii and image types of + file transfer, plus local byte size 8 for tenex mode + transfers. + + ftp supports only the default values for the remaining file + transfer parameters: mode, form, and struct. + +OPTIONS + Options can be specified at the command line, or to the + command interpreter. + + The -v (verbose on) option forces ftp to show all responses + from the remote server, as well as report on data transfer + statistics. + + The -n option restrains ftp from attempting "auto-login" + upon initial connection. If auto-login is enabled, ftp + checks the netrc file in the user's home directory for an + entry describing an account on the remote machine. If no + entry exists, ftp will prompt for the remote machine login + name (default is the user identity on the local machine), + and, if necessary, prompt for a password and an account with + which to login. + + The -i option turns off interactive prompting during + multiple file transfers. + + The -d option enables debugging. + + The -g option disables file name globbing. + +THE .netrc FILE + The .netrc file contains login and initialization + information used by the "auto-login" process. It resides in + the user's home directory. The following tokens are + recognized; they may be separated by spaces, tabs, or new- + lines: + + machine name + Identify a remote machine name. The auto-login process + searches the .netrc file for a machine token that + matches the remote machine specified on the ftp command + line or as an open command argument. Once a match is + made, the subsequent .netrc tokens are processed, + stopping when the end of file is reached or another + machine token is encountered. + + login name + Identify a user on the remote machine. If this token + is present, the "auto-login" process will initiate a + login using the specified name. + + password string + Supply a password. If this token is present, the + "auto-login" process will supply the specified string + if the remote server requires a password as part of the + login process. Note that if this token is present in + the .netrc file, ftp will abort the "auto-login" + process if the .netrc is readable by anyone besides the + user. + account string + Supply an additional account password. If this token + is present, the "auto-login" process will supply the + specified string if the remote server requires an + additional account password, or the "auto-login" + process will initiate an ACCT command if it does not. + + macdef name + Define a macro. This token functions like the ftp + macdef command functions. A macro is defined with the + specified name; its contents begin with the next .netrc + line and continue until a null line (consecutive new- + line characters) is encountered. If a macro named init + is defined, it is automatically executed as the last + step in the "auto-login" process. + +SEE ALSO + csh(1). + ftpd(1M) in the UMAX V Administrator's Reference Manual. + +BUGS + Correct execution of many commands depends upon proper + behavior by the remote server. + + An error in the treatment of carriage returns in the 4.2BSD + UNIX ASCII-mode transfer code has been corrected. This + correction may result in incorrect transfers of binary files + to and from 4.2BSD servers using the ascii type. Avoid this + problem by using the binary image type. +APPENDIX L: telnet COMMANDS REFERENCE + + +NAME + telnet - user interface to the TELNET protocol + +SYNOPSIS + telnet [ host [ port ] ] + +DESCRIPTION + The telnet command communicates with another host using the + TELNET protocol. If telnet is invoked without arguments, it + enters command mode, indicated by its prompt (for example, + telnet>). In this mode, it accepts and executes the + commands listed below. If it is invoked with arguments, it + performs an open command (see below) with those arguments. + Once a connection has been opened, telnet enters input mode. + The input mode entered will be either character at a time or + line by line depending on what the remote system supports. + + In character at a time mode, most text typed is immediately + sent to the remote host for processing. + In line by line mode, all text is echoed locally, and + (normally) only completed lines are sent to the remote host. + The local echo character (initially ^E) may be used to turn + off and on the local echo (this would mostly be used to + enter passwords without the password being echoed). + + In either mode, if the localchars toggle is TRUE (the + default in line mode; see below), the user's quit, intr, and + flush characters are trapped locally, and sent as TELNET + protocol sequences to the remote side. There are options + (see toggle autoflush and toggle autosynch below) which + cause this action to flush subsequent output to the terminal + (until the remote host acknowledges the TELNET sequence) and + flush previous terminal input (in the case of quit and + intr). + + While connected to a remote host, telnet command mode may be + entered by typing the telnet escape character (initially + ^]). When in command mode, the normal terminal editing + conventions are available. + +COMMANDS + The following commands are available. Only enough of each + command to uniquely identify it need be typed (this is also + true for arguments to the mode, set, toggle, and display + commands). + open host [ port ] + Open a connection to the named host. If no port + number is specified, telnet attempts to contact a + TELNET server at the default port. The host + specification can be either a host name (see + hosts(4)) or an Internet address specified in "dot + notation" (see inet(3N)). + + close Close a TELNET session and return to command mode. + + quit Close any open TELNET session and exit telnet. An + end-of-file (in command mode) will also close a + session and exit. + + Z Suspend telnet. This command only works when the + user is using the csh(1) or the BSD application + environment version of ksh(1). + + status Show the current status of telnet. This includes + the peer one is connected to, as well as the + current mode. + + display [ argument ... ] + Displays all, or some, of the set and toggle values + (see below). + + ? [ command ] + Get help. With no arguments, telnet prints a help + summary. If a command is specified, telnet will + print the help information for just that command. + + send arguments + Sends one or more special character sequences to + the remote host. The following are the arguments + which may be specified (more than one argument may + be specified at a time): + + escape + Sends the current telnet escape character + (initially ^]). + + synch + Sends the TELNET SYNCH sequence. This + sequence causes the remote system to discard + all previously typed (but not yet read) input. + This sequence is sent as TCP urgent data (and + may not work if the remote system is a 4.2 BSD + system -- if it doesn't work, a lower case r + may be echoed on the terminal). + brk + Sends the TELNET BRK (Break) sequence, which + may have significance to the remote system. + + ip + Sends the TELNET IP (Interrupt Process) + sequence, which should cause the remote system + to abort the currently running process. + + ao + Sends the TELNET AO (Abort Output) sequence, + which should cause the remote system to flush + all output from the remote system to the + user's terminal. + + ayt + Sends the TELNET AYT (Are You There) sequence, + to which the remote system may or may not + choose to respond. + + ec + Sends the TELNET EC (Erase Character) + sequence, which should cause the remote system + to erase the last character entered. + + el + Sends the TELNET EL (Erase Line) sequence, + which should cause the remote system to erase + the line currently being entered. + + ga + Sends the TELNET GA (Go Ahead) sequence, which + likely has no significance to the remote + system. + + nop + Sends the TELNET NOP (No operation) sequence. + + ? + Prints out help information for the send + command. + + set argument value + Set any one of a number of telnet variables to a + specific value. The special value off turns off + the function associated with the variable. The + values of variables may be interrogated with the + display command. The variables which may be + specified are: + echo + This is the value (initially ^E) which, when + in line by line mode, toggles between doing + local echoing of entered characters (for + normal processing), and suppressing echoing of + entered characters (for entering, say, a + password). + escape + This is the telnet escape character (initially + ^[) which causes entry into telnet command + mode (when connected to a remote system). + + interrupt + If telnet is in localchars mode (see toggle + localchars below) and the interrupt character + is typed, a TELNET IP sequence (see send ip + above) is sent to the remote host. The + initial value for the interrupt character is + taken to be the terminal's intr character. + + quit + If telnet is in localchars mode (see toggle + localchars below) and the quit character is + typed, a TELNET BRK sequence (see send brk + above) is sent to the remote host. The + initial value for the quit character is taken + to be the terminal's quit character. + + flushoutput + If telnet is in localchars mode (see toggle + localchars below) and the flushoutput + character is typed, a TELNET AO sequence (see + send ao above) is sent to the remote host. + The initial value for the flush character is + taken to be the terminal's flush character. + + erase + If telnet is in localchars mode (see toggle + localchars below), and if telnet is operating + in character at a time mode, then when this + character is typed, a TELNET EC sequence (see + send ec above) is sent to the remote system. + The initial value for the erase character is + taken to be the terminal's erase character. + kill + If telnet is in localchars mode (see toggle + localchars below), and if telnet is operating + in character at a time mode, then when this + character is typed, a TELNET EL sequence (see + send el above) is sent to the remote system. + The initial value for the kill character is + taken to be the terminal's kill character. + + eof + If telnet is operating in line by line mode, + entering this character as the first character + on a line will cause this character to be sent + to the remote system. The initial value of + the eof character is taken to be the + terminal's eof character. + + toggle arguments ... + Toggle (between TRUE and FALSE) various flags that + control how telnet responds to events. More than + one argument may be specified. The state of these + flags may be interrogated with the display command. + Valid arguments are: + + localchars + If this is TRUE, then the flush, interrupt, + quit, erase, and kill characters (see set + above) are recognized locally, and transformed + into (hopefully) appropriate TELNET control + sequences (respectively ao, ip, brk, ec, and + el; see send above). The initial value for + this toggle is TRUE in line by line mode, and + FALSE in character at a time mode. + + autoflush + If autoflush and localchars are both TRUE, + then when the ao, intr, or quit characters are + recognized (and transformed into TELNET + sequences; see set above for details), telnet + refuses to display any data on the user's + terminal until the remote system acknowledges + (via a TELNET Timing Mark option) that it has + processed those TELNET sequences. The initial + value for this toggle is TRUE if the terminal + user had not done an stty noflsh, otherwise + FALSE (see stty(1)). + + autosynch + If autosynch and localchars are both TRUE, + then when either the intr or quit characters + is typed (see set above for descriptions of + the intr and quit characters), the resulting + TELNET sequence sent is followed by the TELNET + SYNCH sequence. This procedure should cause + the remote system to begin throwing away all + previously typed input until both of the + TELNET sequences have been read and acted + upon. The initial value of this toggle is + FALSE. + crmod + Toggle carriage return mode. When this mode + is enabled, most carriage return characters + received from the remote host will be mapped + into a carriage return followed by a line + feed. This mode does not affect those + characters typed by the user, only those + received from the remote host. This mode is + not very useful unless the remote host only + sends carriage return, but never line feed. + The initial value for this toggle is FALSE. + + debug + Toggles socket level debugging (useful only to + the super-user). The initial value for this + toggle is FALSE. + + options + Toggles the display of some internal telnet + protocol processing (having to do with TELNET + options). The initial value for this toggle + is FALSE. + + netdata + Toggles the display of all network data (in + hexadecimal format). The initial value for + this toggle is FALSE. + + ? + Displays the legal toggle commands. + +SEE ALSO + csh(1), ksh(1), rlogin(1N). + inet(3N), services(4), hosts(4) in the UMAX V Programmer's + Reference Manual. + telenetd(1M) in the UMAX V Administrator's Reference Manual. + +BUGS + There is no adequate way for dealing with flow control. + On some remote systems, echo has to be turned off manually + when in line by line mode. + + There is enough settable state to justify a .telnetrc file. + + No capability for a .telnetrc file is provided. + + In line by line mode, the terminal's eof character is only + recognized (and sent to the remote system) when it is the + first character on a line. +APPENDIX M: domax1 AND domax0 HARDWARE CONFIGURATION + + + ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ + ³Cassette ³ + ³ Drive ³ + ³ ³ ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ + ÀÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÙ ³ Disk ³ ³ Disk ³ + ³ ³ Drive ³ ³ Drive ³ + ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ +ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ÚÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÂÙ ÀÄÂÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ +³ Tape ÃÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ´ ÃÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ +³ Drive ³ ³ ³ +ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ ³ 4 X 2 MIP ÃÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄ +ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ ³ +³ Tape ³ ³ Multimax 310 ÃÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄ +³ Drive ÃÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ´ ³ +ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ ³ ÃÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄ ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ + ÀÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÙ ³ Port ³ + ³ ³ ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ Selector ³ + ³ ÃÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ´ Console ³ ³ ³ + ³ ÚÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ Hardcopy ³ ÀÄÂÄÄÂÄÄÂÄÄÂÄÄÂÙ + ³ ³ Console ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ 32 Lines + ³ ³ ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ ÚÄÁÄÄÁÄÄÁÄÄÁÄÄÁ¿ + ³ ³ CRT ³ ³ ³ + ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ ³ Annex 01 ³ + ³ ³ ³ + ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ +Ethernet ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ + ÚÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄ¿ + ³ Annex 00 ³ + ³ ³ + ÀÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÙ + ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÁÄ¿ ÚÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ + ³ mtlzr ³ ³ mt_600 ³ + ³ ³ ³ ³ + ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ + + NOTES +ÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜ +APPENDIX N: BASIC UNIX REVIEW + + +Write the letter(s) of the UNIX component that best fit each +description. + + +K = Kernel S = Shell U = Utilities D = Directory + + +_____ 1.

A consensual hallucination experienced daily +by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation...A +graphic representation of data abstracted from the banks of +every computer in the human system. Unthinkable +complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the +mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, +receding..." + --William Gibson, Neuromancer + +Suddenly I don't have a body anymore. + +All that remains of the aging shambles which usually constitutes my +corporeal self is a glowing, golden hand floating before me like +Macbeth's dagger. I point my finger and drift down its length to the +bookshelf on the office wall. + +I try to grab a book but my hand passes through it. + +"Make a fist inside the book and you'll have it," says my invisible +guide. + +I do, and when I move my hand again, the book remains embedded in +it. I open my hand and withdraw it. The book remains suspended +above the shelf. + +I look up. Above me I can see the framework of red girders which +supports the walls of the office...above them the blue-blackness of +space. The office has no ceiling, but it hardly needs one. There's never +any weather here. + +I point up and begin my ascent, passing right through one of the +overhead beams on my way up. Several hundred feet above the office, +I look down. It sits in the middle of a little island in space. I +remember the home asteroid of The Little Prince with its one volcano, +it's one plant. + +How very like the future this place might be: a tiny world just big +enough to support the cubicle of one Knowledge Worker. I feel a wave +of loneliness and head back down. But I'm going too fast. I plunge +right on through the office floor and into the bottomless indigo below. +Suddenly I can't remember how to stop and turn around. Do I point +behind myself? Do I have to turn around before I can point? I flip into +brain fugue. + +"Just relax," says my guide in her cool clinical voice. "Point straight +up and open your hand when you get where you want to be." + +Sure. But how can you get where you want to be when you're coming +from nowhere at all? + +And I don't seem to have a location exactly. In this pulsating new +landscape, I've been reduced to a point of view. The whole subject of +"me" yawns into a chasm of interesting questions. It's like Disneyland +for epistomologists. "If a virtual tree falls in the computer-generated +forest..?" Or "How many cybernauts can dance on the head of a +shaded solid?" Gregory Bateson would have loved this. Wittgenstein, +phone home. + +At least I know where I left my body. It's in a room called Cyberia in a +building called Autodesk in a town called Sausalito, California. Planet +Earth. Milky Way. So on and so forth. My body is cradled in its usual +cozy node of space-time vectors. + +But I...or "I"...am in cyberspace, a universe churned up from computer +code by a Compaq 386 and a pair of Matrox graphics boards, then fed +into my rods and cones by VPL Eyephones, a set of goggles through +whose twin, parallax-corrected video screens I see this new world. + +When I move my head, the motion is tracked by a a Polhemus +magnetic sensor and the imaging engine of cyberspace is instructed to +alter what I see accordingly. Thus, having made a controlled ascent +back up through the floor of the "office," I turn to the left and I see red +chair with a desk behind it. I turn to the right and I see a door leading +out onto the floating platform. + +The configuration and position of my right hand is fed into the system +by a VPL DataGlove, also with an Polhemus attached to it. The +relationship between my hand and the eyephones is precisely +measured by the two trackers so that my hand appears where I would +expect it to. When I point or make a fist, the fiber optics sewn into the +DataGlove convert kinesthetics into electronics. For a decisecond or so, +my hand disappears and then reappears, glowing and toon-like, in the +appropriate shape. + +Despite the current confines of my little office-island, I know that I +have become a traveller in a realm which will be ultimately bounded +only by human imagination, a world without any of the usual limits of +geography, growth, carrying capacity, density or ownership. In this +magic theater, there's no gravity, no Second Law of Thermodynamics, +indeed, no laws at all beyond those imposed by computer processing +speed...and given the accelerating capacity of that constraint, this +universe will probably expand faster than the one I'm used to. + +Welcome to Virtual Reality. We've leapt through the looking glass. +Now what? Go ask Alice. + + + + + +The Next Big Thing +Money from Nuthin' + +"I think this is the biggest thing since we landed on the Moon," says +Jaron Lanier, the dread-locked CEO of VPL Research. (Who was 9 +years old at that time.) I don't choke on that one. Indeed, I'd take it a +bit farther, guessing that Columbus was probably the last person to +behold so much usable and unclaimed real estate (or unreal estate) as +these cybernauts have discovered. + +At Autodesk, the Sausalito publisher of AutoCAD drafting software, +they spent the summer of T89 in product development heaven, talking +telephone, automobile, airplane, computer. They invoked Edison, Bell, +Ford, and Jobs. And there was that loincloth-and-machete sense of +enterprise which one might have experienced in the Wright Brothers' +Akron Bicycle Shop or Paul Jobs' garage in Mountain View...as well as +countless less-chronicled shots at perpetual motion or baldness cures. + +Neil Armstrong's small step ran about 70 Billion Real Dollars, but +when John Walker, the Hacker King of Autodesk, committed his +company to creating the first commercially-available "world in a can," +he figured that the prototype "gizmo" could be built for about $25,000. + +VPL, the other trading post on VR frontier, isn't much fatter, although +internal synergy seems to magnify output. Since their incorporation in +1985, they've had two Scientific American covers and produced the +DataGlove, DataSuit, the PowerGlove, Swivel 3-D and VPL +EyePhones, the only commercially available head-mounted display. +They've been in a couple of big lawsuits (one, just concluded to their +satisfaction, with Stanford University), and create, at a distance, the +mirage of a fair-sized company going at it pretty hard. + +But up close, one can get on a first-name basis with every VPL +employee in the course of an afternoon. They have yet to outgrow the +third floor of their slightly tacky building at the Redwood City yacht +harbor. + +While Apple's research gazillions yield such dubious fruit as +multimedia and the AppleFax Modem, while IBM replicates methods +for chaining bureaucrats to its mainframes, it begins to appear that the +Next Big Thing will begin its commercial evolution as humbly as the +personal computer. + +As usual, the Big Guys have neither the means nor the desire to engage +in such open-ended creation as settling the virtual universe will +require. Like the Union Pacific Railroad awaiting the fact of empire, +they prefer to let the rag-tag pioneers die all over the frontier before +they come out to claim it. + +When the Altairs and Osbornes of Virtual Reality have made their fatal +errors are headed for Chapter 11, IBM probably will issue forth the +SolutionStation VR Network or some such and accelerate natural +selection in the field. + +But as I write this, VPL and Autodesk still have it to themselves. +Actually, they are not the first to make virtual landfall. They are only +the first at financial risk. Unlike the first automobiles or telephones +their commercial fledglings had the advantage of long incubation by +government and Academia. + +Virtual Reality, as a concept, found first form at the University of Utah +over twenty years ago in the fecund cranium of Ivan E. Sutherland, the +godfather of computer graphics and the originator of about every Big +Computer Idea not originated by Alan Kay or Doug Englebart. In +1968, he produced the first head-mounted display. This was the +critical element in VR hardware, but it was so heavy that it had to be +suspended from the ceiling...at some peril to its wearer. Damocles was +mentioned. + +Besides, once you got it on, there wasn't much to see in there. There +wasn't a computer in existence which could churn out enough +polygons per second to simulate a reality much more full-bodied than +a game of Pong. + +So Virtual Reality passed a generation waiting for the equipment to +arrive. In 1985 the Japanese finally (and unintentionally) provided us +with the right video displays when NASA's Mike McGreevy happened +to notice that the Citizen Watch Co. LCD displays in a Radio Shack +mini-TV were small enough to fit two in a head-mounted. + +I hardly need to detail what happened to CPU horsepower during that +period. By 1985, graphics engines of appropriate juice were almost +within financial range of entities not involved in the defense of our +nation. + +Also by this time, NASA had made a strong commitment to VR +research, though mostly in the service of "telepresence," the ability to +project one's judgement and actions into a robot located some real +place you'd rather not be, like space. They were less persuaded by the +attractions of unreal places. + +The Air Force was also conducting research at Wright-Patterson under +the direction of Tom Furness, but most of this was directed at the usual +dismal purpose, simplifying the annihilation of non-virtual humans. +Heads up displays and looks that kill were their speciality. + +For all this expenditure of tax dollars, Virtual Reality still lacked two +critical elements: a sense of whimsy and a fluid, three-dimensional +method for "grabbing" and manipulating the furniture of cyberspace. +VPL was on the case. + +VPL's Tom Zimmerman had always wanted the ability to actually play +air guitar. It was the sort of desire his "boss," Jaron Lanier, could +understand. Jaron had only gotten into computers after concluding +that musical composition was not a reliable day job. And his +ownership of more than 300 musical instruments might indicate, if +nothing else, a probing dissatisfaction with the limits of each one. + +Over a two year period, Zimmerman and Young Harvill (also of VPL) +created the DataGlove, a hand with which to strum those invisible +strings. While they were creating this hardware interface (though the +Spandex feel of the DataGlove makes "leisureware interface" seem like +a more appropriate term), Jaron and Chuck Blanchard were writing +Body Electric, the software necessary to map the actual movements of +the DataGlove and eyephones onto the virtual landscape. + +The commercial colonization of cyberspace was beginning. VPL's +strategy was to build the most powerful simulations current +technology would allow, without regard to hardware cost, selling the +spin-offs at increasingly affordable prices. Once such item, the +PowerGlove, is a Nintendo game controller based on the DataGlove +which VPL has licensed to Mattel. (Available this Christmas at a store +near you for $85.00.) + +Another VPL spin-off product is Swivel 3-D, odds on the best 3-D +modeler for the Macintosh. Young Harvill wrote it as a tool to create +an artificial reality quickly and easily on Mac before integrating it into +Body Electric and sending it over the twin Silicon Graphics CPUs +which blow it up to full size. + +In September of 1988, John Walker wrote an internal Autodesk white +paper called Through the Looking Glass: Beyond "User Interfaces." In it +he proposed an "Autodesk Cyberpunk Initiative" to produce within 16 +months a doorway into cyberspace...available to anyone with $15,000 +and a 386 computer. The project's motto: "Reality Isn't Enough Any +More." (I wondered if they considered: "I'd rather have a computer in +front of me than a frontal lobotomy...") + +Since NASA's Virtual Realities were running in the millions and VPL's +in the middle hundreds of thousands, Walker envisioned a significant +discount over previous models, but he knew that his customers, if any, +would be more bargain-conscious than, say, the U.S. Air Force. + +Autodesk's Cyberia Project was running hard by Christmas, 1988, +staffed by William and Meredith Bricken, Eric Gullichsen, Pat Gelband, +Eric Lyons, Gary Wells, Randy Walser, and John Lynch. When I +arrived on the scene in May, they had been keeping hacker's hours for +a long time. + +And they were ready to make a product. They'd made a promo video +starring Timothy Leary. Gullichsen had even registered William +Gibson's term "cyberspace" as an Autodesk trademark, prompting an +irritated Gibson to apply for trademark registration of the term "Eric +Gullichsen." By June, they had an implementation which, though +clearly the Kitty Hawk version of the technology, endowed people +with an instantaneous vision of the Concorde level. + +Meanwhile, back in the real world, things were getting complicated. +While everyone who went to Autodesk's Cyberia agreed that Virtual +Reality was something, there was less agreement as to what. + +Part of the problem was the scale of possibilities it invoked. They +seemed to be endless and yet none of them was anywhere near ready +to return an investment. But when something has endless possibilities, +each of them is liable to dilute down to a point where people start to +say things like, "Sure, but what's it really good for." At which point the +devoted cybernut might lapse into random syllables, his tongue heavy +with all that golden potential. + +Virtual Reality induces a perception of huge potency underlying +featureless ambiguity. There is a natural tendency to fill this gap +between power and definition with ideology. And the presence of +such unclaimed vastness seems to elicit territorial impulses from +psychic regions too old to recognize the true infinity of this new +frontier. Disputes appeared like toadstools in the rich new soil of +cyberspace. + +Thus, by mid-November, the Autodesk half of the Next Big Thing was +down to one full-time hacker: Randy Walser. The Brickens had headed +to Seattle to join Tom Furness in a (non-lethal) VR research program at +the University of Washington. Eric Gullichsen and Pat Gelband had +formed their own VR company, Sense 8. (Get it?) + +Within, VPL's soulful band remained as tightly bonded as a Hell's +Angels chapter. Without, they found themselves increasingly tangled +in legal hassles. They were in court with AGE (a group of New York +toy developers who are not just in it for their health), trying to protect +their rights to the PowerGlove. They'd just settled a suit with Stanford +University. In general, they were having experiences which made me +question the axiom that you can't cheat an honest man. + +Still, everyone realized that a baby this size would be bound to +occasion some labor pains. As the general media began to pick up on +Virtual Reality, its midwives were preparing themselves for interesting +times. It would be worth it. But why? + +To the people who will actually make the future, such a question is +beside the point. They will develop cyberspace because, like Mallory's +mountain, it's there. Sort of. + + + + + +There some practical reasons for the settlement of cyberspace. They +aren't as much fun to think about as the impractical ones, but they +exist. First among them is that this is the next logical step in the quest +to eliminate the interface...the mind-machine information barrier. + +Over the last twenty years, our relations with these magic boxes have +become intimate at a rate matched only by the accelerating speed of +their processors. From the brutal austerity of batch-processed punch- +cards to the snuggly Macintosh, the interface has become far less +cryptic and far more interactive. + +There have remained some apparently unbreachable barriers between +us and the CPU. One of them was the keyboard, which even with the +graphical interface and the accompanying infestation of mice, +remained the principal thoroughfare from human perception to RAM. +The thin alphanumeric stream which drips from our fingertips and +into the computer is a pale reflection of the thoughts which produce it, +arriving before the CPU at a pace absurdly mis-matched to its +chewing/spitting capacities. + +Then there is the screen itself. While a vast improvement on the +flickering LED's of the Altair or even the amber text of DOS, the +metaphorical desktop remains flat as paper. There is none of the depth +or actual spatiality of experience. + +After we get past what few documents we can keep on the screen at +one time, we are back to the alphabetized hierarchy. We can't pile it, +as most of us tend to do in real life. We have to file it. And this is not + +the way the mind stores information. One doesn't remember the +names of his friends alphabetically. When looking for a phase in a +book, you are more likely to look for its spatial position on the page +than it's intellectual position in context. + +The actual operation of human memory works on a model more like +the one Saint Thomas Aquinas used. Aquinas, who carried around in +his head almost all the established knowledge of his simpler world, is +said to have imagined a mind-castle with many different rooms in +which varying kinds of ideas dwelled. The floor plan increased with +his knowledge. + +Nicholas Negroponte recreated a modest version of Aquinas' castle in +the 70's. He came up with a virtual office, represented in cartoon form +on the screen. One could mouse around to the "piles" of "paper" +stacked on the "desk" or "filing cabinet," leafing through them not by +the first letter of their subject name but by their archaeological layer of +deposition. + +The problem was the screen. Negroponte created a flat picture of an +office rather than something more like the real thing because that was +all one could display on a screen. In two dimensions, the image of +desktop seemed a lot more natural than the image of the desk. Thence +the Macintosh. + +I used to think that the only way around these narrow I/O apertures +lay in such heroic solutions as brain implants. I think I was about 14 +when it occurred to me that this was the answer. Brain surgery +seemed a minor nuisance if it left one with the ability to remember +everything. + +I suppose I'd still be willing to put a Cray in my cranium, but my faith +in technology has moderated since early adolescence. I'm more +comfortable with the possibility of an interface which fills the gap +between keyboarding and neurological hardwiring and involves no +cortical knife-play. Virtual Reality is almost certainly that. + +And indeed, Virtual Reality may be so close to the implant side of the +continuum that, as Randy Walser of Autodesk insists, it's not even +appropriate to call it an interface. It more a place...kind of like Fibber +McGee's Ultimate Closet...than the semi-permeable information +membrane to which we're accustomed. + +Whatever you want to call it, Autodesk's John Walker puts it this way, +"If cyberspace truly represents the next generation of human +interaction with computers, it will represent the most profound change +since the development of the personal computer." Right. + +But that still doesn't tell us what it's good for besides extending human +quirkiness to the storage of immaterial stuff. After all, most of what +humans do with computers is merely an improvement over what they +did with other keyboard-bound devices, whether typewriters or +calculators. Word processing and numerical analysis will be no easier +"inside" the machine than it was outside. + +But let's quit being giddy for a moment. We're talking bucks here. +Right now a good working platform costs almost as much as a CAT +scanner. Who's going to buy one without something like Blue Cross +footing the bill? And why? + +Alright, there is a reason why Autodesk is involved in this enterprise +besides some daydream of the Ultimate Hack. Whatever adventures +they might entertain they afford by selling AutoCAD, the Dbase III of +architecture. How many architects have dreamed of the ability to take +their clients on a walk inside their drawings before their +miscommunications were sealed in mortar? + +Virtual Reality has already been put to such use at the University of +North Carolina. There Sitterman Hall, the new $10 million home of +UNC's computer science department, was designed by virtual means. + +Using a head-mounted display along with a handlebar-steerable +treadmill, the building's future users "walked through" it, discovering, +among other things, a discomforting misplacement of a major interior +wall in the lobby. At the point of the discovery, moving the wall out +was cheap. A retrofit following the first "real" walk-through would +have cost more by several orders of magnitude. Thus, one can imagine +retrofit savings from other such examples which could start to make +DataSuits as common a form of architectural apparel as chinos and +tweed. + +Given the fact that AutoCAD is already generating about a hundred +seventy million dollars a year even without such pricy appurtenances +as cyberspace design tools, it isn't hard to imagine a scenario in which +developing workstations for virtual architecture comes to look like +very shrewd business. + +Then there is the burgeoning scientific market. Computers are the new +microscopes. Increasingly, they allow us to see into worlds which are +not only too small but too weird to bring to human scale before. For +example, they are showing us the infinitely detailed order of chaos, +never before observable, in a form which makes it possible to +appreciate its simplicity as well as its complexity. + +Virtual Reality promises the ability to not only see but to "touch" +forbidden realms. Again at UNC, work is already quite advanced in +which one can assemble complex molecules like Tinkertoys, the +attraction or repulsion between individual atoms in the assembly +modelled to the scale of human tactile perceptions. The drug industry +alone could have uses for such capacity sufficient to sustain a lot of +CyberBiz. + +One can imagine a lot of heretofore inaccessible "places" in which +one's presence might be scientifically illuminating. A Fantastic Voyage +through the circulatory system will become possible (with or without +Raquel Welch). Or travel to alien worlds. (Thanks to JPL, I have +already taken an extremely convincing helicopter ride down the Vallis +Marinaris on Mars.) + +Then there all the places which have never before had physical +existence on any scale: the rolling plains of mathematical topologies, +the humming lattice of quantum states, cloud chambers in which mu +mesons are the size of basketballs and decay over weeks rather than +picoseconds. + +The possibility for less sober uses seems equally fertile. One can +imagine VR salons, video game parlors for big kids with Gold Cards, +in which a central supercomputer provides the opportunity for a score +of people to be Ms. Pacman. Or whatever. Nolan Bushnell, the +founder of Atari and something of an expert on the subject of video +games, is already at work on something like this. + +The list of possibilities is literally bounded only by the imagination. +Working bodies for the damaged. Teleconferencing with body +language. Virtual surgery. Hey, this is a practical thing to do! + +And yet I suspect that something else altogether, something not so +practical, is at the root of these yearnings. Why do we really want to +develop Virtual Reality? There seems to be a flavor of longing here +which I associate with the desire to converse with aliens or dolphins or +the never-born. + +On some level, I think we can now see the potential for technology, +long about the business of making the metaphorical literal, of reversing +the process and re-infecting ordinary reality with luminous magic. + +Or maybe this is just another expression of what may be the third +oldest human urge, the desire of have visions. Maybe we want to get +high. + + + +Drugs, Sex, & Rock Tn' Roll +Boot Up, Jack In, Get Virtual + +Technology is the new drugs. + + Jerry Garcia + +Knowing that Garcia is a sucker for anything which might make a +person question all he knows, I gave him a call not long after my first +cyberspace demo. Hell yes, he was interested. When? If I'd told him +6:00 AM, I think he'd have been there on time. + +He adapted to it quicker than anyone I'd watched other than my 4 year +old daughter Anna (who came home and told her sisters matter-of- +factly that she been to a neat "place" that afternoon.) + +By the time he crossed back over to our side of Reality Horizon, he was +pretty kid-like himself. "Well," he finally said, "they outlawed LSD. +It'll be interesting to see what they do with this." + +Which brings me to a point which makes Jaron Lanier very +uncomfortable. The closest analog to Virtual Reality in my experience +is psychedelic, and, in fact, cyberspace is already crawling with +delighted acid heads. + +The reason Jaron resents the comparison is that it is both inflammatory +(now that all drugs are evil) and misleading. The Cyberdelic +Experience isn't like tripping, but it is as challenging to describe to the +uninitiated and it does force some of the same questions, most of them +having to do with the fixity of reality itself. + +While you can hardly expect people to lay down $15,000 for something +just because it shakes their basic tenets, that's enough to make it worth +the trip for me. I think the effort to create convincing artificial +realities will teach us the same humbling lesson about reality which +artificial intelligence has taught us about intelligence...namely, that we +don't know a damned thing about it. + +I've never been of the cut-and-dried school on your Reality Question. I +have a feeling VR will further expose the conceit that "reality" is a fact. + +It will provide another reminder of the seamless continuity between +the world outside and the world within delivering another major hit to +the old fraud of objectivity. RTReal'," as Kevin Kelly put it, "is going +to be one of the most relative words we'll have." + +And that's just fine with me, since so much of what's wrong in +America is based on the pathological need for certainty and the idiotic +delusion that such a condition can even exist. + +Another reason for relating this to acid is the overwhelming sense of its +cultural scale. It carries with it a cosmic titillation I haven't +experienced since 1966. There is also the same dense shower of +synchronicities surrounding it. (I must have run into William and +Meredith Bricken ten times, always unexpectedly and sometimes in the +strangest of places. Today, as I was typing his name, Jaron called me +for the first time in three weeks. Then I felt strangely moved to call +Eric Gullichson after a couple of months of silence. He told me that +yesterday had been his last day at Autodesk. Etc. Etc. Etc.) + +Finally, Timothy Leary is all excited again. Now I don't endow every +one of his pronouncements with oracular qualities...I remember the +Comet Starseed... but I have always thought that Uncle Tim is kind of +like a reverse of the canary in the coal mine. Whenever the culture is +about to make a big move, he's the first canary to start jumping up and +down. + +He's also, like Zelig, a kind of Zeitgeist chameleon. He spent the 40's in +the Army. In the 50's, he was a tweedy young college professor, a +Jules Feiffer cartoon. In the 60's, he was, well, Timothy Leary. In the +70's, he became, along with H. R. Haldeman, a political prisoner. He +lived up the material 80's in Beverly Hills. Whatever America is about +to do, Tim starts doing it first. + +When I visited him recently, he was already as cyberpunk as he had +been psychedelic when I last saw at Millbrook 22 years ago. Still, his +current persona seems reasonable, even seraphic. He calmly scored a +long list of persuasive points, the most resonant of which is that most +Americans have been living in Virtual Reality since the proliferation of +television. All cyberspace will do is make the experience interactive +instead of passive. + +"Our brains are learning how to exhale as well as inhale in the data- +sphere." he said. Like our finny ancestors crawling up on land, we are +about to be come amphibians again, equally at home in visceral and +virtual frames. + +The latest bus is pulling out of the station. As usual, Leary has been on +it for a while, waiting patiently for it to depart. + + + +Then there is the...uhhhm...sexual thing. I have been through eight or +ten Q. & A. sessions on Virtual Reality and I don't remember one +where sex didn't come up. As though the best thing about all this will +be the infinite abundance of shaded polygonal party dolls. As though +we are devising here some fabulously expensive form of Accu-jac. + +This is strange. I don't what to make of it, since, as things stand right +now, nothing could be more disembodied or insensate than the +experience of cyberspace. It's like having had your everything +amputated. You're left mighty under-endowed and any partner +would be so insubstantial you could walk right through her without +either of you feeling a thing. (In fact, when people play tag in Jaron's +Reality Built for Two, one strategy is to hide inside the other person's +head.) + +And I did overhear the word "DataCondom" at one point... Maybe the +nerds who always ask this question will get a chance to make it with +their computers at long last. (I prefer not to think too much of how +anyone who would want to make it with a machine might treat the +women in their lives...if any there be.) + +Fortunately, I think these dreams of cybersex will be thwarted by their +own realization. Yes, it will work for that purpose and it will be easy. +But the real point of Virtual Reality, as with life itself, is contact. +Contact with oneself alone is certainly a laudable enough goal, but the +presence of half a million dollars worth of equipment between that +subject and object is neither necessary nor desirable. + +Even if Virtual Reality turns out to provide the format for the ultimate +pornographic film...a "feelie" with a perfect body...it will serve us +better as the ultimate telephone. + + + +Life in the DataCloud +Scratching Your Eyes Back In + +There was a man who lived in town +And he was wondrous wise. +He jumped into a bramble bush +And scratched out both his eyes. +And when he saw what he had done, +With all his might and main, +He jumped back in the bramble bush +And scratched them in again. + + Old English Nursery Rhyme +Information is alienated experience. + + Jaron Lanier + +Since the Sumerians starting poking sticks into clay and claiming that +the resulting cuneiform squiggles meant something, we've been living +in the Information Age. Only lately did someone come up with a name +for it. I suppose that was because we quit making anything else of +value. Before that, they just called it civilization. + +Indeed, one could make a pretty good case that consciousness, as we +define it, arose simultaneously with the ability to communicate its +products symbolically. (See The Origin of Consciousness and the +Breakdown of the Bicameral Brain by Julian Jaynes for related +conclusions.) + +The Sumerians had a pretty clear perspective on what this stuff was +good for. The preponderance of their runic tablets turn out to be, on +translation, calendars, inventories, and mnemonic devices for such +data as one might need to remember but which was too trivial to merit +conversion into the other storage form of the era, epic poetry. They +didn't use it to describe anything. + +Perhaps they recognized that even the most mundane experience +would beggar any effort to describe it if one were serious about +creating a genuine simulation. + +The Egyptians didn't have any such illusions either, but, in addition to +keeping track of cubits and high water, they found symbols useful for +their elaborate liturgical purposes. With so many dramatis personae in +the pantheon, some method was required for sorting out each one's +ritualistic preferences. + +The Greeks, as was their wont, expanded the envelope further. To the +previously established (and sensible) uses for writing, they added +commentary, philosophy, calculation and drama. + +Still, they restrained themselves from attempting to simulate +experience on paper (or whatever it was they wrote on). One might +argue that drama was an effort to do that, but I think that the likes of +Sophocles probably just found it easier not to have to personally teach +his actors all their lines. + +As early as the 5th Century B.C. we hear the first warnings that +information might constitute an abuse of experience. Socrates +suggested that writing things down might damage your ability to +remember them in their proper, full-bodied form. (An admonition we +know about since Plato went ahead and wrote it down as soon as +Socrates was hemlocked out of the ability to stop him.) + +It wasn't until the 17th Century that things really got out of hand. +Cervantes wrote Don Quixote and fiction was born. From that point, +any experience could be plucked from its holy moment in time and +pressed like a flower in a book, to be reconstituted later in the +imagination of the reader. + +The thin, alphanumeric trickle that is language was suddenly thought +to be a acceptable surrogate for the boiling torrent of shapes, smells, +colors, sounds, memories, and context which amalgamate in the +cauldron of a human skull and become there something called Reality. +No longer did one have to "be there." One could read about it and get +the flavor well enough. + +This absurd delusion is now universal. The only reason anyone +believes it is that everyone does. + +I, on the other hand, began to have my doubts around the time I +started trying to create some of this magical information myself. +Sometime in the 4th Grade, I began to write about the things that +happened to me. For awhile, the approval others showed my efforts +was enough to inspire their continuation. + +Gradually, however, the effort became painful. The inadequacy of my +word-replicas for experience was increasingly clear. I tried poetry. +This seemed to work until I realized that it did so because a poem is +about itself and thus has no "real thing" to be compared to. + +Writing about something continues to cause me nothing but anguish. +The symbolic tools are hopelessly mis-matched to their three- +dimensional analogues. For example, the word "chair" is in no way +like any chair. + +Nor does it begin to imply the vast range of dissimilar objects to which +one might apply it. You can hop it up with adjectives... "big red +chair"...or additional phrases... "big red chair that Washington sat +in"...but the result is usually bad writing without much advancement +of your cause. I mean, "the big, deeply red, densely-brocaded, +Georgian love seat that Washington sat in while being bled by leeches" +is still, for all its lugubrious mass, not a chair. + +And if it were, it wouldn't move in the way that real things do even +when they're standing still. Words just sit there. Reality vibrates and +hums. I have a pet phrase for this element of the mismatch: Using +words to describe an experience is like using bricks to build a full- +sized, operational model of a fog bank. + +Perhaps it was a subliminal recognition of this fact that caused +America to fall in love with statistics. As a descriptive tool, numbers +are even worse than words. They are very purely themselves and +nothing else. Nevertheless, we now put everything from flowing +water to the human psyche into these rigid numerical boxes and are +especially straight-faced as we claim it fits in them. + +In doing this, we usually follow a rule I call, with characteristic +modesty, Barlow's Law of Real Numbers. This states that the +combination of any two speculative numbers by any arithmetic +operation will always yield a real number. The more decimal places +the better. + +Computers have hardly been part of the solution in this area. We pass +our measuring grids over pulsating reality, shovel the results into our +machines, thrash them with micro-circuits, and pretend that what +floats up to the screen is "real." + +Horseshit. + +What computers can do, and have done to a fare-thee-well, is to +provide us with a hyper-abundance of such processed lies. Everything +from U.S. News and World Report to Penthouse is now a dense thicket +of charts, tables, graphs, and %'s. All purporting to tell us something +about what is. + +But it's all just information. Which, apart from the fact that it's not to +be confused with experience, has several problems which Jaron Lanier +succinctly enumerated for me: "The first problem is that it's in- +formation. The second problem is that it's linear information. And the +third problem is that it's false information." + +Or, as we say in Wyoming, "Figures don't lie, but liars can figure." + +Virtual Reality is probably not going to cure this nonsense any more +than television, its one-way predecessor, has done. The global supply +of words, numbers, statistics, projections, analyses, and gossip...what I +call the DataCloud... expands with thermonuclear vigor and all the +Virtual Reality we can manufacture isn't going to stop that. + +But it may go a long way toward giving us means to communicate +which are based on shared experience rather than what we can +squeeze through this semi-permeable alphanumeric membrane. If it +won't contain the DataCloud, it might at least provide some +navigational aids through it. + +Maybe it can scratch our eyes, blinded by information, back in again. + + + diff --git a/textfiles.com/computers/best.cps b/textfiles.com/computers/best.cps new file mode 100644 index 00000000..f1f88257 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/computers/best.cps @@ -0,0 +1,351 @@ + +***************************************************************************** +* * +* FIRE Starter : Get the BEST out of JRCOMM and your DUALST 14.4k Bds * +* * +***************************************************************************** +----------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + + a + + '' __ - -__ + _\ /> / /> / / + _ /_ _ _ _ ___ _ + |_)|_) | | | \ | | | | | | | |\ | `` 19 may 1991. + | | \ |_| |_/ |_| |_ | | |_| | \| + + (c) 1991 Text Files.

Put it to 5 or something. +Then go in your palette menu (use 8 color in IBM mode by the way, that +way you will see NICE looking ANSI, IBM 100% and AMIGA 100%) and change +the FIFTH color. Put it to WHITE. Then modify the FIRST color (which is +white, and put it to something like BLUE!). When you will download, +you won't have that dirty looking WHITE window, you will have a kool +blue or whatever color window you want. + +Adjust the other colors to your own taste (call several boards), +DON'T USE THE DEFAULT IBM COLORS, they SUCK shit!! Put more INTENSITY +and use different colors if you want.. But you'll have to EDIT all your +JRCOMM Phone Book and adjust the colors after too.. That's a pain. So +make sure you REALLY like your colors be4 re-creating your phone book. + +Would be NICE if J. RADIGAN could put an AUTO COLOR adjusts for every +phone book entry..

It changed the way people thought about +computers. + +BILL GATES : + +It absolutely did. For the IBM PC, the key market was a +hobbyist market. We'd gotten floppy disks, so we'd start to get into +some more serious applications. But, both the power of the machine, +because it was the first 16-bit machine, and the endorsement by IBM of +using a personal computer, and then the critical mass of software and +distribution and peripherals that came along with that, makes it the +biggest milestone in the history of personal computing. It was a sea change. +Of course, one of the big developments around it was that before the IBM-PC +came along, machines were essentially incompatible with each other. In those +first few years, [we saw] the whole notion of how compatible was compatible, +there were many different levels there. And a lot of hardware manufacturers +still felt they had more freedom to deviate a little bit and do things that +couldn't be virtualized by a common software interface. +So, in those first two years a lot of key things were established: the idea +of compatibility; MS-DOS as the primary system as opposed to CP/M-86 or UCSD +P-System which were the prime competitors; and the whole thing about a broad +software industry and using indirect distribution channels. Anyway, it was a +monumental change. + +PC MAGAZINE: + +Let's go back -- go back to that first 1982 PC Magazine +interview. You know, "The Man Behind the Machine." Microsoft was involved +with IBM to what at the time was an unprecedented degree. You had written +software for lots of other machines at that point, not operating systems but +BASICs and things like that. How different was it? + +BILL GATES : + +Well, for IBM it was extremely different because this was a +project where they let a supplier -- a partner, whatever you call us -- +shape the definition of the machine and provide fundamental elements of +the machine. When they first came to us, their concept was to do an 8-bit +computer. And the project was more notable because they were going to do +it so quickly and use an outside company. It wouldn't be a high-volume +product. Their charge was to do a home and a very low-end business machine. +They had the Data Master, which was 8085-based at the time, that they felt +was covering part of the business market. Then they had the 5100, the +machine that had both an APL and a BASIC interpreter, which was covering +another part of the business market. So it was sort of a home-down business +machine. And it was a very small team in Boca that wanted to prove that IBM +could do a product, any kind of product, in about an 18-month cycle. And +that was the most novel—that was going to be the novel thing was: could +you work with outsiders, which in this case was mostly ourselves but also +Intel, and do it quickly? +And the key engineer on the project, Lou Eggebrecht, was fast-moving. Once +we convinced IBM to go 16-bit (and we looked at 68000 which unfortunately +wasn't debugged at the time so decided to go 8086), he cranked out that +motherboard in about 40 days. It's one of the most phenomenal projects +because there were very small resources involved and we had to ROM the +BASIC which meant that it was essentially cast in concrete, so you couldn't +make much in the way of mistakes. We actually did this clever thing where for +disk versions of the system, we put enough hooks in the ROM that you could +place reasonably modular parts of the ROM. +So it was very lucky when it turned out about a year after the machine +shipped, there was a floating point bug and the New York Times ran it, we +could just issue a disk that patched out that part of the floating point +package because virtually all the machines that had been shipped were +disk-based,. What I had done was made the dispatch table hookable. It was +a very tricky project because the machine had to boot running only BASIC, +or if it detected a disk, it had to boot with the operating system. And +if only the BASIC came in, the we had to do file management against the +audiocassette. And they insisted that it run in a 48k configuration which +was pretty tricky; we were hoping they'd insist on 64k. Now, it turned +out most people bought 128k versions of the machine. + +PC MAGAZINE: + +Didn't the original machine come out with 16k? + +BILL GATES : + +The cheapest machine you could buy -- yeah you're right, +you're right: if you were cassette only, it was 16. And then if you +got the disk you could be 48. And, it was actually fairly complicated +because the ROM is up in very high memory, that is, it's at a different +segment address. The whole idea of where we use long addresses, where we +use short addresses. The 8086 architecture -- now that we have flat +memory model, people forget that a segmented memory model is a fairly +complex thing to work with. It actually got worse before it got better. +We went to the 286 which was very segment-oriented before we finally got +just straight, linear address space in 1986. + +PC MAGAZINE: + +And not in the operating system until after that. + +BILL GATES : + +That's right. + +PC MAGAZINE: + +That's significant. + +BILL GATES : + +Well, people had written applications to use real addresses -- +DOS applications depended on the fact that there was not a level of +indirection: that is that you simply shifted the segment value and added +it in. So we had to keep running Real Mode Applications—I mean today you +can buy an IBM PC and run a Real Mode Application. I mean it'd actually +be interesting to take those applications that shipped with the original +PC and plug them in. I'm pretty sure they'd work. I admit I haven't tried +it. The first applications were an adventure game from us, a typing tutor +from us, and then VisiCalc. + +PC MAGAZINE: + +Yes and Easy Writer. + +BILL GATES : + +Was Easy Writer there at the very beginning? I think it was. +So none of the early applications have successful follow-ons. Now the early +language tools included our BASIC compiler, our FORTRAN, and actually at +those times we offered a PASCAL and a COBOL compiler as well. + +PC MAGAZINE: + +Obviously, back then you were talking about DOS as the standard. +I mean you were telling people to write to MS-DOS, not to go around it to +the hardware and all that. Of course, the programs that became most +successful in those days of the applications, did go around it. IBM +became hardware-dependent, which of course was then copied a lot. Was +that a surprise to you? + +BILL GATES : + +No, not at all. I mean, remember we were the big promoters of +the bit-map graphics. We were really against this there were two video +cards. There was CGA, which we pushed for, unfortunately only got 640 by 200 +graphics into it and the palate was limited. It was just at the last minute +they gave us a tiny bit of a palate where color 0 could be mapped to 16, +and colors 1, 2 and 3 had a flip where they could be one set or another. +Anyway, the character cells on the CGA were 8 by 8 so they didn't look +as good as the Character Mode Only card. Because that was actually, +although it didn't have bit-map graphics, what IBM calls All Points +Address (APA) graphics. So it was actually 640 by 350 so the character +cells were much larger and looked a lot better. It was the Display +Writer character cell size. So IBM thought a lot of people would buy +that character mode card, which meant you couldn't do graphs and things. +But the only way to do graphics was to [write code directly to the hardware. +So all our applications that did graphics did that as well. It was only +later that we decided we could provide some high-level services and get +enough efficiency that graphics applications would go through the +operating system. +The definition of what it means to be a graphics application changed. +In the early days it meant you had a mode where a chart would come up. +Like when you ran Lotus 1-2-3, most of the time you were in character +mode, where the scrolling was very fast. Now at days we have processors +that are fast enough to scroll the bit map display and you don't even +think about it. Back then, just scrolling the display in graphics mode, +was noticeably, significantly, painfully slower than scrolling the +display in character mode because you have eight times as many bits +to push around and these processors were quite slow processors. diff --git a/textfiles.com/computers/bill1035.pro b/textfiles.com/computers/bill1035.pro new file mode 100644 index 00000000..89134588 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/computers/bill1035.pro @@ -0,0 +1,349 @@ + +************************************************************* +* POSSIBLE FEDERAL LEGISLATION -- ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS * +************************************************************* + +LETTER RECEIVED FROM UNITED STATES SENATE -- FEEDBACK NEEDED + + System Operators (SYSOPS) of Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) and electronic mail +systems everywhere are concerned about possible legislation, at both a Federal +and State level, pertaining to the uses of the wonderful new technologys of +telecommunications, BBS's and messaging.

We still are working on weaving those provisions + into the current structure of Title III, specifically in 18 + U.S.C. Sec. 2518. From a policy point of view, we continue to + believe that the best approach is to require a probable cause + warrant to acquire the contents of a communication, similar to + that required in Sub Sec. 2518. We believe that a court order + based on reasonable suspicion is a more appropriate mechanism for + giving government access to records generated by a service + provider about a user as well as for the installation of a + pen register or tracer." + +EDITOR'S COMMENT + + As one can see, this legislation is designed to protect legitimate users of +telecommunications and BBS technology. As we have requested in prior reports on +troubling legislation that all interested parties write to the Congressmen and +Senators and those involved with sponsoring legislation, we again ask that you +write, but this time in support of the legislation herein reported on. +Electronic (digital) systems need the same protection afforded to voice (analog) +telephone communication and the protection afforded to letters sent via the +United States Post Office. + +We'll have more to report in future newsletters. + +--------------------------------------- +[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] + The Fifth Precinct..[502] 245-8270 +[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/textfiles.com/computers/bios1215.man b/textfiles.com/computers/bios1215.man new file mode 100644 index 00000000..9431c981 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/computers/bios1215.man @@ -0,0 +1,116 @@ + +AMI 286 and 386 BIOS +new release +Release notes + +Release date : 12/15/1988 + +This release of AMI 286 and 386 BIOS will have the following new features +and corrections over the previous release which was 09/25/1988. + +new features + +Options to bypass Keyboard/Video/floppy errors for Dedicated file servers +or similar applications... + +This release of AMI BIOS can be configured to do one of the following:- + + - Bypass testing Keyboard and/or Video and/or Floppy controller + during Power on self test. + + - Test all during Power on self test but in case of Keyboard and/or + Video and/or Floppy controller errors do not wait for user to press + the "F1" key. + +To configure the BIOS as above at your facility, you need the new AMIGEN +program.

Bower + + +I have had a large number of requests for this information so here it is. + +Disclaimer: Doing this modification may void your warranty on your computer +components, and I take no responsibility for any damage that may be caused +by making this modification. + +Introduction: +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +This simple modification allows a standard IBM PC type parallel port to be +used as a bi-directional 8 - 12 bit I/O port for use in applications +such as control, sensing, monitoring, and high speed data trasfer. + +WARNING: Do NOT attempt to read data in from the parallel port using a (non +modified) a standard printer port card. The LS373/374 octal buffer can sink +current and may overheat if this is done. + +The 4 handshake lines are also open collector outputs. + +Requirements: +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +o 1 piece of insulated copper wire (1 - 2 inches long). + +o Soldering Iron. + +o Solder, maybe some de-soldering wick. + +o A sharp tool for cutting PCB tracks. + +o A TTL data book is handy. + +o A parallel printer port schematic helps. + +o A digital multimeter for testing. + +o An IBM type parallel printer card - either an original single card or multi- + function card. It may be possible to modify other types of parallel + ports since most are of similar design (in PC's). However, special + cards that use a single VLSI controller chip to perform the functions + of the entire multi-function card may not be modified (of course!). + +Note: Laptop computers generally have a bi-directional parallel printer +port - note however that these bi-directional port use open-collector +outputs on the parallel data bus which may require pull-up resistors +if they are to be connected to a 'standard' modified port for data +trasfer. + + +Method: Hardware mods +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The following step are meant as a guide to performing the modification. + +When handling circuit cards, be aware that static electicity and carelessness +can easily cause damage - be extra careful and patient when working on them! + +NOTE: The LS abbreviation may be F, L, or HC in you printer card. + +1. Remove the parallel printer card/multi I/O card from the PC. + +2. Locate the IC named 74LS374 (on standard PC printer port cards) or + 74LS373 (multi I/O cards). If there is more than one of these IC's, + select the one which connects to pins 9 to 2 of the 25 pin printer + port connector. On the IBM PC printer schematic this is U4. + This IC is an octal buffer. + +3. Pin 1 of this IC (the output enable pin) should be currently tied to + ground (on the underside of the board). Cut the track at pin 1 so that it + is now NOT connected to ground. (alternatively it my be possible to cut + pin 1 and bend it up - this is not recommended however). + + This pin was originally connected to gound. In this configuration, the + LS373/374 was hard wired to OUTPUT mode. + +4. Now locate the IC named 74LS174. This IC (a hex latch) is connected to + pins 1,15,14, and 16 of the 25 pin printer connector through either + a 74LS05 (IBM PC printer card) or a 74LS06 (multi I/O card) invertor. + + NOTE: Both the LS373 and LS174 IC's are also connected to the Address/ + Data bus on the card through a LS243 IC. + +5. This IC (LS174) is a hex latch. In the IBM printer port design, only + 5 of the 6 available latches are used. The state of the sixth latch + can be controlled in software, and by attaching its output to pin + 1 of LS373, we can control the direction of data by toggling a single + bit. + +6. To determine which D flip flop is not used, trace the outputs from the LS174 + (use a TTL/LS data book for a pinout of the chip) and see which + one does not connect to the 74LS05 or 74LS06. On the standard PC + printer adapter, pin 15 of the LS174 was not connected (the input from + the data bus should already be connected (on pin 14 in this case). If + it is not, then another wire jumper connected may be necessary). + +7. Now solder a piece of insulated wire from pin 1 of the LS374/373 to + the output of the unused D flip flop (e.g. pin 15 in this case). + + The printer port should now be configurable to be readable and writeable. + +(Notes: This only works because the original printer port could read the data +back that it just printed. When data was sent to the printer, it passed +through LS373 and onto the connector pins and was also stored in the +LS244 latch - this data was then re-read by the printer software to ensure +that the data that appeared on the pins was correct. Unfortunately, you +could not read data that came in from the printer port connector because +the octal buffer was hard wired for output. Using this modification, the +octal buffer can be read (rather than written) and the data that is latched +from this printer port connector can be read by the system). + + +Compatibility +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +When the computer is powered on as normal, the BIOS should initialise the +printer port to be in output mode (0 in the direction register). Therefore, +all software should work as normal - printing operations will work +as before. + +If custom software alters the direction register, then some software +may have problems printing (a printer not ready signal or paper out error +may be generated). This can be resolved by either clearing the data direction +register (use debug for example) or by resetting the computer. + +Software Interface: +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +To use this 8 bit I/O port for data trasfer the following software can be +used. + +This assumes that the parallel printer port is located at 378 hex. If +this os not the case, subtract the suitable value (e.g. 100h for a printer +as 278 hex) from the register addresses. + +1. Setting the port for output mode (normal printer output): + + Clear bit 6 of the data direction register (formerly unused) + at 37A (hex). + + e.g. i = inportb(0x37A); + outporb(0x371, i & 0xDF); /* output mode */ + + or outporb(0x37A, 0); + + +2. Setting the port for input mode: + + Set bit six of the data direction register at 37A (hex). + + e.g. i = inportb(0x37A); + outportb(0x37A, i | 0x20; + + or outportb(0x37A, 0x20); + + +3. Sending 8 bit bytes to the port (output): + + Send the data to 378 (hex) + + e.g. outportb(0x378, 0xAE); /* send 0xAE over port */ + + +4. Reading 8 bit bytes from the port (input): + + Read data from 378 (hex) + + e.g. x = inportb(0x378); /* read data from port */ + + +5. Hardware handshaking - essential for any communications: + +For successfull communiucations, some sort of hardware handshaking is +required, This requires a couple of extra lines in you connection cable. +For example, the ACK and STROBE lines can be used to signal data ready +between two systems. + +An example is an A-D convertor on the port. To sample a value, send +a pulse on the strobe line (or any oth spare line), wait for an +interrupt (acknowledge/sample taken) from the A-D and then read it +from the port. + + e.g. to send pin 14 of the connector high (and set input mode at + the same time): + + outportb(0x37A,0x28); + + e.g. wait until pin 14 of connector is low : + + while (inportb(0x37A) & 0x08) == 0) + ; + +Pinouts: +~~~~~~~~ + Name Pin + + -Strobe 1 < + +Data 0 2 <> \ + +Data 1 3 <> | + +Data 2 4 <> | + +Data 3 5 <> |- now bidirectional + +Data 4 6 <> | + +Data 5 7 <> | + +Data 6 8 <> | + +Data 7 9 <> / + -Acknowledge 10 > + +Busy 12 > + +Paper out 13 > + +Select 14 > + -Auto Feed 15 < + -Error 16 > + -Initialize 17 < + -Select input 18 - 25 + Ground 2 + +- = active low, + = active high. > from printer/other computer + < from printer adapter + + +Comments: +~~~~~~~~~ + +People who wish to attempt to use this modification to construct +a parallel port SCSI interface should have a look at the Tiny Tiger +SCSI hard drive interface which is used on the Commodore Amiga 500 and 1000 +computers to provide a SCSI hard-drive interface.

Banks + + (Copyright, 1988, Michael A. Banks. All rights reserved.) + + Modem transmission speed is the source of a lot of +confusion, even among otherwise informed computer and modem +users. The root of the problem is the fact that the terms "baud" +and "bits per second" are used interchangeably and +indiscriminately. I strongly suspect this is a result of the +fact that it's easier to say "baud" than "bits per second," +though misinformation has a hand in it, too. + If you've ever found yourself confused by the relationship +between bits and baud rate, or if you think that a modem's baud +rate is the same as the number of bits or characters it transmits +per second, please read this article carefully; I guarantee to +clear up the confusion and disabuse you of any false concepts ... + + Bits per second (bps) + Bits per second is a measure of the number of data bits +(digital 0's and 1's) transmitted each second in a communications +channel. This is sometimes referred to as "bit rate." + Individual characters (letters, numbers, etc.), also +referred to as bytes, are composed of several bits. + While a modem's bit rate is tied to its baud rate, the two +are not the same, as explained below. + + Baud rate + Baud rate is a measure of the number of times per second a +signal in a communications channel varies, or makes a transition +between states (states being frequencies, voltage levels, or +phase angles). One baud is one such change. Thus, a 300-baud +modem's signal changes state 300 times each second, while a 600- +baud modem's signal changes state 600 times per second. This +does not necessarily mean that a 300-baud and a 600-baud modem +transmit 300 and 600 bits per second, as you'll learn in a few +lines. + + Determining bits per second + Depending on the modulation technique used, a modem can +transmit one bit--or more or less than one bit--with each baud, +or change in state. Or, to put it another way, one change of +state can transmit one bit--or more or less than one bit. + As I mentioned earlier, the number of bits a modem transmits +per second is directly related to the number of bauds that occur +each second, but the numbers are not necessarily the same. + To illustrate this, first consider a modem with a baud rate +of 300, using a transmission technique called FSK (Frequency +Shift Keying, in which four different frequencies are turned on +and off to represent digital 0 and 1 signals from both modems). +When FSK is used, each baud (which is, a gain, a change in state) +transmits one bit; only one change in state is required to send a +bit. Thus, the modem's bps rate is also 300: + + 300 bauds per second X 1 bit per baud = 300 bps + + Similarly, if a modem operating at 1200 baud were to use one +change in state to send each bit, that modem's bps rate would be +1200. (There are no 1200 baud modems, by the way; remember that. +This is only a demonstrative and hypothetical example.) + Now, consider a hypothetical 300-baud modem using a +modulation technique that requires two changes in state to send +one bit, which can also be viewed as 1/2 bit per baud. Such a +modem's bps rate would be 150 bps: + + 300 bauds per second X 1/2 baud per bit = 150 bps + + To look at it another way, bits per second can also be +obtained by dividing the modem's baud rate by the number of +changes in state, or bauds, required to send one bit: + + 300 baud + --------------- = 150 bps + 2 bauds per bit + + Now let's move away from the hypothetical and into reality, +as it exists in the world of modulation. + First, lest you be misled into thinking that "any 1200 baud +modem" should be able to operate at 2400 bps with a two-bits-per- +baud modulation technique, remember that I said there are no 1200 +baud modems. Medium- and high-speed modems use baud rates that +are lower than their bps rates. Along with this, however, they +use multiple-state modulation to send more than one bit per baud. + For example, 1200 bps modems that conform to the Bell 212A +standard (which includes most 1200 bps modems used in the U.S.) +operate at 300 baud and use a modulation technique called phase +modulation that transmits four bits per baud. Such modems are +capable of 1200 bps operation, but not 2400 bps because they are +not 1200 baud modems; they use a baud rate of 300. So: + + 300 baud X 4 bits per baud = 1200 bps + + or + + 300 baud + ------------------ = 1200 bps + 1/4 baud per bit + + Similarly, 2400 bps modems that conform to the CCITT V.22 +recommendation (virtually all of them) actually use a baud rate +of 600 when they operate at 2400 bps. However, they also use a +modulation technique that transmits four bits per baud: + + 600 baud X 4 bits per baud = 2400 bps + + or + + 600 baud + ------------------ = 2400 bps + 1/4 baud per bit + + Thus, a 1200-bps modem is not a 1200-baud modem, nor is a +2400-bps modem a 2400-baud modem. + Now let's take a look at 9600-bps modems. Most of these +operate at 2400 baud, but (again) use a modulation technique that +yields four bits per baud. Thus: + + 2400 baud X 4 bits per baud = 9600 bps + + or + + 2400 baud + ------------------ = 9600 bps + 1/4 baud per bit + + Characters per second (cps) + Characters per second is the number of characters (letters, +numbers, spaces, and symbols) transmitted over a communications +channel in one second. Cps is often the bottom line in rating +data transmission speed, and a more convenient way of thinking +about data transfer than baud- or bit-rate. + Determining the number of characters transmitted per second +is easy: simply divide the bps rate by the number of bits per +character. You must of course take into account the fact that +more than just the bits that make up the binary digit +representing a character are transmitted when a character is sent +from one system to another. In fact, up to 10 bits may be +transmitted for each character during ASCII transfer, whether 7 +or 8 data bits are used. This is because what are called start- +and stop-bits are added to characters by a sending system to +enable the receiving system to determine which groups of bits +make up a character. In addition, a system usually adds a parity +bit during 7-bit ASCII transmission. (The computer's serial port +handles the addition of the extra bits, and all extra bits are +stripped out at the receiving end.) + So, in asynchronous data communication, the number of bits +per character is usually 10 (either 7 data bits, plus a parity +bit, plus a start bit and a stop bit, or 8 data bits plus a start +bit and a stop bit). Thus: + + 300 bps + ----------------------- = 30 characters per second + 10 bits per character + + 1200 bps + ----------------------- = 120 characters per second + 10 bits per character + + 2400 bps + ----------------------- = 240 characters per second + 10 bits per character + + Common speeds + The most commonly-used communications rates for dial-up +systems (BBSs and online services like CompuServe, DELPHI, and +GEnie) are 300, 1200, and 2400 bps. A few older systems-- +especially Telex systems--communicate at 110 bps, but these are +gradually going the way of the dinosaur. 4800 and 9600 bps +modems are generally available, but few online services or BBSs +accommodate them. This will be changing in the near future, +however, with the cost of high-speed modem technology decreasing +as the demand for it increases. + Modems with even higher bps rates are manufactured (19,200 +and up) but these are not used with dial-up systems; the upper +limit on asynchronous data transmission via voice-grade telephone +lines appears to be 9600 bps. The use of higher transmission +rates requires special dedicated lines that are "conditioned" +(i.e., shielded from outside interference) as well as expensive +modulation and transmission equipment. + # + If you found this article useful, you may want to pick up a +copy of the book from which it was excerpted: + THE MODEM REFERENCE + by Michael A.

These other fine off-line mail reading +programs can be used to read the *.QWK mail packets created by +the QMail and MarkMail mail doors. + +ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ +ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ + + +Method #1 +ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ- + +Using your communication program's session capture feature + + +Programs needed: + +Your communication program. + +A text editor + or +word processor that reads/writes ASCII or converts from/to ASCII +format files. + + Your text editor or word processor should be able to have + two files or documents open at the same time and be able + to copy and paste text between the two files. + + +Overview: + +Most communication software will allow you to capture or log all +incoming characters to a text file. This file is a simple text +or ASCII file that can be read in several ways. The technique +described here involves using your communication software's +capture feature to capture all messages non-stop, log off the +BBS, read the capture file (messages) off-line, and prepare +individual replies to be uploaded on your next call. This method +works with PC Board. You should refer to your communication +software manual if you need more information about starting and +stopping a capture file. Please refer to your text editor or +word processor manual for information about converting ASCII +files and working with more than one document at the same time. + + +On-line Procedure: + +Call the BBS and log on as usual. When the Main Board prompt +appears, open or start your capture file. + +At the Main Board Command? prompt, type R;A;NS or R A NS or + R;S;NS or R S NS + +R;A;NS and R A NS = R)ead mail in A)ll conferences based on +selection, NS) display text in non-stop mode. + +R;S;NS and R S NS = R)ead mail S)elect messages in current +conference above the last one you have read, NS) display text in +non-stop mode. + +(Refer to PC Board on-line help for a complete explanation of the +commands and options or ask your Sysops for assistance.) + +The messages from the main board message base will scroll +non-stop on your screen and be captured to your capture file. + +When the main board messages have stopped you may join other +conferences and read the messages there using the above commands. + +After you have finished capturing all the messages, close or stop +your capture file. You may now enjoy other features offered on +the BBS or simply log off. You will read these messages later, +after you have logged off. + + +Off-line Procedure: + +Use your text editor or word processor to read the capture file. +Some word processors cannot read a text or ASCII file directly. +A conversion process may be required to translate a text or ASCII +file into a format the word processor can read. Refer to your +word processor manual for information about ASCII file +conversion. + +When you want to reply to a message jot down on paper the +conference number, if applicable, the message number, recipient's +name, subject, and receiver only, if applicable. Then open a +second file or document giving it a unique file name. Jot down +this file name with the other data. Now use the text editor or +word processor to copy and paste quotation text from the capture +file to the reply file and type your reply. Do not exceed the +maximum line limit for messages as established by the BBS. After +the reply is completed close or save the reply file. + +When you want to reply to another message repeat the above +procedure except when you open the second file use a +different filename. + +If you want to enter a new message use the above procedure and +again use a different filename for the second file. + +If you are using a word processor that does not read or write +ASCII files directly you will be required to convert each of the +reply files from your word processor's format to ASCII format. +Refer to your word processor manual for information about ASCII +file conversion. + +What you wind up with are several reply files in ASCII format +that you will upload instead of typing your messages on-line on +your next call to the BBS. + + +Next On-line Procedure: + +Call the BBS and log on as usual. You may use PC Board or open +the ProDoor door. + +At the PC Board main board prompt join the appropriate conference +and REPLY to a message number, i.e. REPLY 135 , or E)nter a +message (Refer to those paper notes for the message number, name, +subject, etc.) and follow the prompts. If you use ProDoor, do +not use ProDoor's visual editor. When you are prompted to enter +the first line of your message do not type anything. At this +point you initiate an upload of the appropriate reply file using +the ASCII protocol. Sit back and watch the message being typed +for you. If you're using ProDoor and forget to turn off the +visual editor, the screen will fill with garbage text such as +[6f2[8a4[5h7. Don't panic! Let the upload continue! When the +upload is completed save the message in the usual manner. + +Repeat this procedure for each of the remaining replys or +messages. Just make sure you are in the correct conference +before you initiate the next reply or message. + +ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ +ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ + +Method #2 +ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ + +Using PC Board Capture File + + +Programs needed: + +Your communication program. + +A text editor + or +word processor that reads/writes ASCII or converts from/to ASCII +format files. + + Your text editor or word processor should be able to have + two files or documents open at the same time and be able + to copy and paste text between the two files. + + +Overview: + +This method is identical to Method #1 except you will not use +your communication software's session capture feature.

This tutorial will not teach you how to use +the EZ-Reader program. + + +Overview: + +The utility programs contained in EZ-Reader Utilities EZUTL103.ZIP + +PCB2QWK.EXE +REP2PCB.EXE +ZIPM2QWK.EXE +REP2ZIPM.EXE + +will convert PC Board capture files (from Method #2) +and ProDoor ZIPM mail packets (from Method #3) into +QMail/MarkMail format files *.QWK that can only be read using +EZ-Reader. Replies and messages created by EZ-Reader will be +converted from QMail/MarkMail format files *.REP to ASCII files +that will be uploaded to PC Board or ProDoor. Uploads to PC +Board require special scripts for your communication software. A +sample Qmodem script is included in EZUTL103.ZIP. Uploads to +ProDoor do not require a special script. They are uploaded at +the [Main Board] Command? prompt using ASCII protocol. +If ProDoor is available use it instead of PC Board. + + +On-line Procedure: + +Follow the procedures in Method #2 to download a PC Board capture +file or Method #3 to download a ProDoor ZIPM mail packet. + + +Off-line Procedure: + +Make sure the PC Board capture file or the ProDoor ZIPM mail +packet is in the download directory you specified in EZ-Reader's +configuration file, the EZ-Reader utilities are in the your +EZ-Reader directory, and that you are in the EZ-Reader directory +when use run the utilities. PKZIP and PKUNZIP must be located in +the directory you specified in EZ-Reader's configuration file or +must be located in the path. + + + Converting PC Board capture files: + + PCB2QWK.EXE converts the PC Board capture file into a + QMail/MarkMail format file (*.QWK) readable only by + EZ-Reader. + + At the DOS prompt, type: + + PCB2QWK pcb_filename[with no ext] + + You do not need to type the extension. PCB2QWK.EXE + supplies the default extension CAP. The resulting + Qmail/MarkMail mail packet will be placed in the + download directory you set in EZ-Reader's + configuration file. + + EZ-Reader can not handle more than 200 messages per + conference. If you have more than 200 messages per + conference, you will have to break up the PCB capture file + into smaller files with less than 200 messages per + conference before using PCB2QWK.EXE. + + + Converting ProDoor ZIPM mail packets: + + ZIPM2QWK.EXE converts the ProDoor ZIPM mail packet file + into a QMail/MarkMail format file (*.QWK) readable only + by EZ-Reader. + + At the DOS prompt, type: + + ZIPM2QWK zipm_filename[with no ext] + + You do not need to type the extension. ZIPM2QWK.EXE + supplies the default extension ZIP. The resulting + Qmail/MarkMail mail packet will be placed in the + download directory you set in EZ-Reader's + configuration file. + + ProDoor should only allow you to download 200 messages + per ZIPM mail packet. Therefore, ZIPM2QWK does not check + to see if you have more than 200 messages per conference. + + +Use EZ-Reader to read and reply to the resulting *.QWK files. + + + Converting replies *.REP for uploading: + + For *.REP packets resulting from a *.QWK that was created + from a PC Board capture file - + + REP2PCB.EXE converts reply file (*.REP) created by + EZ-Reader into an ASCII file that can be uploaded to PC + Board.
