to JAMES SCHMIDT re: R/WHO OWNS DOS?
|
|
|
|
I guess I thought all DOSs were derivitive works off of MS, though
|
|
some things IBM did on its own.
|
|
As to whether there will be a PC-DOS 5, that's interesting, since IBM
|
|
is pushing OS/2 so much - "what runs DOS better than DOS, Windows
|
|
better than Windows"? - and it seems it DOES - if you have enough memory.
|
|
I think we'll just have to wait and see.

I have "Programming Windows" by Charles Petzold (Microsoft Press, 1990).
|
|
It is 944 pages long, and deals with lots of stuff like that, although I
|
|
did not see "writing device drivers" in quick look at the index. The preface
|
|
mentions that to compile the examples you need the Windows Software Development
|
|
Kit and Microsoft C 6.0. I also have a 4-disk set called "Supplementary
|
|
Driver Library". If you'd like to look at any of this stuff let me know.

I have had some problems occasionally with Carbon Copy and networks, but
|
|
most of the time they work fine. You didn't mention what the remote sites
|
|
do when they call in. (I assume the remotes run CCHELP and the machine
|
|
on the network runs CC.) If they run a program, did the program change?
|
|
And do you have this trouble when you are just doing DOS commands and
|
|
listing directories?

I have ordered a number of items from Damark, and have not had

That program looks a lot better. I can compress the smaller

ones and probably run a TSR only when needed. There surely should

be somthing like this out there.

Yes, we have this problem just sitting at the prompt. Repeat, NO software
|
|
has been singly bumping. It is a random occurence between 1 and 60 minutes
|
|
into a call.
|
|
|
|
We returned the exact machine modem and hardware setup previously used,
|
|
(except for we did not restore the old network obviously) and it still
|
|
does this nonsense. I suspect line trouble, but Bell says it is OK.

to ALL re: FRAUDIGY PART 1
|

I know all of you have heard something like this before about
|
|
Prodigy, but it has come under attack again. It appears Prodigy has
|
|
the ability to scan your hard disk and then make copies of what it
|
|
considers useful information to a Prodigy data file called STAGE.DAT
|
|
for uploading to the Prodigy system. This is fueled by what people
|
|
have been finding within this file.
|
|
|
|
Now some have defended Prodigy and blamed that the Prodigy software
|
|
is so bad that it somehow goofs and extends the end of file to some
|
|
areas of the disk that was previously deleted by your DOS. So that is
|
|
why there are scraps of your data attached to that file. Even if the
|
|
program is that bad, Prodigy already admits that it uploads that file
|
|
to the system. So it is still getting your personal data whether the
|
|
programming is bad or not.
|
|
|
|
Now bare in mind, not all STAGE.DAT files are containing personal
|
|
data. It is my guess that once Prodigy uploads what it wants, it
|
|
deletes the data in the STAGE.DAT. Also note, STAGE.DAT normally
|
|
contains the most often used screen displays, so they can be accessed
|
|
by Prodigy to save telecommunications time and keep it low.

Although I have not tested this yet, but it is said that if you take
|
|
a brand new Prodigy software package and install it on a brand new
|
|
floppy even though you have a hard disk as drive C:. It will pull
|
|
information off your hard disk and place it in the STAGE.DAT file
|
|
even before you log on for the very first time.
|
|
|
|
Someone who works on the inside of Prodigy as a columnist admitted
|
|
that Prodigy does pull information from your system and does so
|
|
legally because if you read your on-line agreement closely, it says
|
|
that you sign all rights to your computer and its contents to
|
|
Prodigy, IBM & Sears when you agree to the service. Well that is all
|
|
very interesting... wouldn't you agree? <BW>
