Gee, Really don't know. Are you on Compuserve? Irv Hoff is! He

|
|
|
|
Thanks! I've been meaning to call the Tosh BBS. I'm sorry they
|
|
don't seem to have much on Compuserve in their forum - I'd like a TSR
|
|
that I can use to turn off the hard disk; I understand there is something
|
|
there - perhaps a program to turn it off "now" - but I'd rather have a TSR.
|
|
Also, I want to put a couple copper (brass) shims together with an
|
|
insulator between, so I can put an ammeter in the thing - see just how
|
|
much the current draw changes based upon the following:
|
|
- hard disk on or off
|
|
- lcd on or off
|
|
- backlighting at various brightnesses
|
|
- low and high speed (4.77 and 9.54)

to ALL re: CP/M IMP OVERLAYS
|
|
|
|
I am proposing to set up a CP/M bbs in the very near future and would like
|
|
to obtain copies of the IMP modem program overlays. I have access to format
|
|
conversion equipment/machines so that wouldn't be a problem. MEX is a lot of
|
|
trouble to set up and is unreliable in every instance I have used it.
|
|
I know that Compuserve has the files, but I don't suscribe because I am a
|
|
pauper. Does anybody have these files?

|
to ALL re: QEMM OR ? MEM RELIEF?
|
|
|
|
Help! My FoxBase enthusiasm has gotten me in some technical trouble!
|
|
I became a strong FOX advocate at work, got my own license, others
|
|
got more, and finally, a big project was started based upon FOX and a
|
|
LAN.
|
|
Trouble is, we are using the 3270 workstation program on PS/2 model
|
|
70s and 80s, (both 386, thank goodness) and with the LAN and host, we
|
|
have under 350K free! Fox apparently needs 440K free (results of
|
|
CHKDSK being the definition of free memory) to run.
|
|
I understand they're looking at QEMM. One problem is the darn PS/2
|
|
has that unwanted ABIOS taking the entire E000 segment - useless (I think)
|
|
unless you're using OS/2. Anyone know if QEMM or 386^MAX will just
|
|
blow that out of the water (or, if it CAN be blown out) allowing more
|
|
EMS?
|
|
I think I'll look at moving drivers into EMS, and see what else I
|
|
can do. More than "function", we need MEMORY RELIEF - i.e. the emulator
|
|
has to be small, and the number of things it can use to high memory,
|
|
large.
|
|
I would appreciate ANY and ALL suggestions for minimizing memory
|
|
requirements, and maximizing memory availability.
|
|
P.S. the LAN is Token Ring.
|
|
P.P.S. will the LAN version take even MORE memory? Will compiling
|
|
cut down memory requirements? (Ooh, but then we still can't
|
|
"develop").

What do you mean EASY TO USE? And what Epson system is it?
|
|
The QX10 came with Valdocs, which is easy to use and more
|
|
or less bulletproof. If you need help getting the original
|
|
software for that Roger Heath's board is the placeto call.

I'd recommend VDE.simple, fast.and (CP/M version) free. Available on
|

several BBSes that still offer CP/M software, including one I run:
|

The Advocate/NOWAR, 312.939.4411, 24 hrs., 8/n/1 (Chicago Loop area).

Good luck.

to WARD re: BB "RETRY" PROBLEM
|
|
|
|
A down-and-dirty solution would be to write a little CE handler which
|
|
simply returns if _AX & 8000h is NULL _and_ DOS indicates the error is
|
|
"device not ready." Then execute BB and do a system reset when done.
|
|
I did something quite similar in a program under development and it works
|
|
like a charm. (The _AX test simply determines that it's a disk-related
|
|
error rather than a character-device or FAT error.) If of use, I could
|
|
send a .C module your way which would be ready to use with a few changes
|
|
to code which is unique to my program.

|
|
|
|
Thanks. Yes I am interested in your true blue Hayes 1200 baud modems.
|
|
I was able to get one for myself at the Chicago Computer Exchange for
|
|
$50. (used) I have other friends in my industry who also want the same
|
|
modem to run this one special program we use. With a Hayes compatible
|
|
modem you can run 99% of the program features. There is one "flaw" of
|
|
the Hayes that is used in this program. Other modems will not start
|
|
sending out data signals until they get a "handshake" from the other
|
|
modem. The Hayes 1200 starts sending tones even with no connection.
|
|
My friends are now using Hayes compatible modems and only getting 99%
|
|
of the features of the program. They would like to use all 100% of
|
|
the features if they can do so inexpensively. What would you sell your
|
|
modems for? My phone number is (312) 929-2200. Bob Cohn

|
|
|
|
Ward:
|
|
I sympathize with you! DOS's memory limits are (at least now)
|
|
ridiculous! But you should be able to take advantage of the
|
|
programs like QEMM which wouldn't even exist if DOS had been
|
|
properly upgraded to deal with 286 and 386 processors when they came out.
|
|
In my experience, many device drivers can be loaded high with QEMM.
|
|
This includes network drivers for Novell (at least on the stations,
|
|
I'm not sure about on the server), and perhaps other LANs. I'd
|
|
check with your LAN OS vendor to see if it's possible and if there
|
|
are any tricks involved. Other drivers can also be loaded high,
|
|
depending on their spec.s.
|
|
350K seems awful low, your system must really be loaded! 230K
|
|
of resident stuff seems awful high even to me (who deals regularly
|
|
with Mac folks who LOVE to stuff RAM with gadgets!). There's GOT
|
|
to be a way around this situation. QEMM is a great product which just
|
|
keeps getting better, and Quarterdeck has other good stuff for
|
|
memory mgmt. I'd look to them for help.

|
|
|
|
Ward, I have DESQview 386, have run a few experiments on an ALR 386 with
|
|
2M RAM, and have some findings:
|
|
1. Even though the manual says, in italics, "Do not run DESQview on a
|
|
server machine", I have done it with a 10NET non-dedicated server. The network
|
|
will operate while I am in another window, but sometimes it will hang up
|
|
and I will have to go back to that window and cause an interrupt.
|
|
2. If I start the network from a window, I don't have access to it
|
|
from any other windows.
|
|
3. My fax program will run in window #1 and even answer calls
|
|
while I work in window #2, although it slows down #2 noticably if
|
|
I'm in a text editor. Assuming you don't have to access the 3270 board
|
|
with your FoxBase programs, you should be OK.
|
|
4. When I start a new "Big DOS" window, even after starting programs
|
|
in other windows, I still have 590K to work with. Subtract 40K or so
|
|
for COMMAND.COM and you still have plenty of room for FoxBase. You can
|
|
save the 40K by having DESQview load MFOXPLUS.EXE directly.
|
|
5. FoxBASE Plus is one of the programs that DESQview will install
|
|
automatically if it finds it on your disk.
|
|
Conclusions: DESQview/386 may or may not help you. Quarterdeck has
|
|
a multiuser BBS at 213-396-3904 and is on Compuserve at 76004,2310.

to BILL WOLFF re: DBII/III+
|
|
|
|
The dConvert program is supplied with the dBASE III/III+ package.
|
|
It is an EXE file that allows one-way conversion from II to III/III+.
|
|
It seems to work well; we have used it to convert client databases
|
|
to III+/Clipper/Fox with no problems. The TXT files you refer to:
|
|
do you mean MEMO fields or ASCII text. III+ will allow you to read
|
|
ASCII text files delimited with almost any character. However, if
|
|
you want III+ features, I would go with Fox Software's FoxBase+ or
|
|
FoxPro system, since it is much faster and has many extensions over
|
|
the standard III+ stuff. However, my experience has shown that the
|
|
.FRM files are somewhat different under Fox than III+. Our company
|
|
uses both but doesn't cross over from one to another except for data
|
|
files (index files are different too, but Fox can be set otherwise).
|
|
Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Been very busy all around.
|
|
Msg back if you need further help.

|
|
|
|
We have a client with a Xerox 4045 laser printer for sale. This is the
|
|
11 or 12 ppm printer, heavy duty (not UPS shippable), designed to be used
|
|
a lot. This printer has hardly been used: roughly 1000-1200 pages
|
|
have been run through it. It has the optional copier attachment to
|
|
allow it to be used as a copier. They have just run the initial
|
|
toner load through it; you'll get 3 or 4 bottles of toner with it.
|
|
This unit was specified for an application that was later reduced
|
|
in scope, and therefore a printer with this capacity just isn't needed.
|
|
List on this thing was $5400 when they bought it. I believe they would
|
|
take $2500 for it with stand and everything. Leave a message for me
|
|
here or call (708) 382-2305 and ask for Scott.
