No, not using 4DOS - instead, CED. I don't want anything "too"
|
|
different - I don't have those environments when on "other people's
|
|
machines" etc. heh.
|
|
I don't have a deskjet on my "main" machine, but actually I DID
|
|
set up a little program to initialize the DeskJet - I put in all the
|
|
normal fonts, densities, etc, that I use, and can cursor to one and
|
|
hit space, it sends that setup. I wrote it in Pmate editor macors,
|
|
and even saved it as a custom 28K version of Pmate called FS - Font
|
|
Select. heh. When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like
|
|
a nail. When you have an EXCELLENT programmable editor like Pmate,
|
|
everything looks like an "editor" solvable problem.

|
|
|
|
The only thing that comes to mind on the modem problems is that at times
|
|
it seems to connect at the wrong speed. If I get a "connect 1200" then
|
|
I just hang up and call back - I get 2400 that next time and everything
|
|
works fine from there on out. It has to do with my having spent a lot
|
|
of time customizing the answer sequences for an HST, but then having the
|
|
HST die, and putting another (I think USR) 2400 modem on, which isn't
|
|
a "perfect" match.
|
|
If it were in my house, it would be easier to work on, but being in
|
|
Chicago, it isn't.

Anyone get any new computer or electronic toys for Xmas? My Brother,
|
|
thanks to me, got a Sharp 5200 pocket memo. I broke the "whisk" that
|
|
I use for making pancakes, and asked Santa, but he gave me a rechargeable
|
|
4-"tool" electric whisk. Worked fine, heh, especially the plastic blade,
|
|
to mix up some spackling compound (grin).

|
|
|
|
Sorry, my C-SET has mostly - SET. Were you using real Windows calls?
|
|
Didn't that require an SDK? I guess Cset doesn't need the SDK, or sort
|
|
of "you can think of it as THE SDK"?
|
|
I "panicked" and bought it before the price went up but in retrospect
|
|
dunno if I'll use it or not.
|
|
Right now I need some ideas on cleaning up my hard disk. I've got 520M
|
|
but it is VERY cluttered - too many versions of too many programs.

CED - OK, but it can't do what 4DOS does! But on the other hand, you're
|
|
right. When I'm working on someone else's machine, it's a PAIN not to
|
|
have the stuff I'm used to.
|
|
|
|
The BMT file I set up for 4DOS sets up the DJ500 in a neat way (I think):
|
|
It gives you a menu for basic functions (reset to [my] defaults, set
|
|
margin, do an envelope, or choose a font). If you do 'choose a font,'
|
|
you get a drop-down menu of all the useful fonts (internal and those
|
|
in the Prestige Elite cart), and just highlight one to load it.
|
|
|
|
I really like the DJ, but HP's PCL is a royal pain at times. Order of
|
|
commands is a real big factor. Having the ability to just pick a font
|
|
off a menu makes it a whole lot easier to deal with.
|
|
|
|
I keep hearing about PMATE, BTW. It sounds nice. I use MicroEMACS
|
|
for my main editor/word processor/etc, and recently added a macro to
|
|
call a high-speed text searcher (MasterFind) and dump the search results
|
|
to a new buffer. You're right - given a good hammer.

|

I didn't get one, but I saw today a little Casio 4300 'pocket book.'
|
|
It's nice. For $69 you only get 32K, but the keyboard is good, th
|
|
the whole thing is SMALL (REALLY the size of a pocket calendar, not
|
|
a day-runner), and you can hook it up to a PC. If I had the $ right
|
|
now I think that
|
|
is the way I would go. Oh yes - the screen is quite readable, too,
|
|
and it has a QWERTY layout.

Actually got a few weeks ago, Zoom V.32bis fax-modem. Seems to work nicely,
|
|
though I haven't yet tried out the fax receiving software. A friend of
|
|
mine got a USR Sportster: the furnished software won't send out a fax
|
|
that has been received. He tried WinFaxPro, but I'm the only one who
|
|
can send him a fax from a fax machine; others have tried but the software
|
|
refuses to accept them! Zoom provided MTEZ, which seems to work reasonably
|
|
well. I used WordStar 7's fax printer driver, which has the same fonts
|
|
as a LaserJet 3. It 'prints' the file to a PCX file and MTEZ nicely
|
|
converts that to a fax. And downloading at 14.4 yields about 1600 cps
|
|
vs about 230 at 2400 (as reported by ProComm). 'Tis a joy to the
|
|
phone bill.
