Msg 42348 is 09 line(s) on 08/22/89 from WARD CHRISTENSEN
to ALL MIDIOTS re: MIDI? ANYONE?

I've got an OLD midi setup ('85) but have just bought new software -
Voyetra's Sequencer Plus Mk 3.
 It is VEYR nice software.
 Any other "MIDIots" out there?
 One of the more interesting things I'm doing with it is to "key in"
sheet music, for "tunes" I don't know (some Dixieland jazz). From the
computer and synthesizer, I then learn the "rhythm" and feel of the tune,
and can begin to "follow along" in the sheet music, and eventually play
along, starting with a slower tempo, etc.

to ALL re: MODEM CODES

I have a Practical Peripherals 2400 baud modem and I misplaced the
manual for it. It is a Hayes compatible device and I would like
to change the DTR setting so I can disconnect from the software
and not have to turn off the modem when I want to leave a network
such as CIS. Does anyone know how to change the DTR setting?

Msg 42351 is 10 line(s) on 08/23/89 from ANDREW DECKOWITZ
to ALL re: NOVELL DRIVERS FOR ST11/R

Can anyone help me out with this problem? We are trying to install
a Novell SFT 2.15 Netware with a Seagate 250R hard drive using the
ST11/R controller. The computer is a XT-compatible with a 286 turbo
card, so we can't switch to any other controller. We have tried to use
Ontrack's Disk Manager-N to modify the Novell defaults, but
have been unsuccessful. From conversations with various tech support
people, we have deduced that we require some sort of driver to allow
Netware to recognize the 8-bit controller card. Have any of you heard
of such an animal? ANY help would be appreciated.

to RICHARD HINTON re: PP 2400 MODEM CODES

I believe your problem is that the Practical Peripheral Modems default
to having DTR or CD ON all the time. I think that the parameter is the
&Cx command. I just checked, and my initialization string for the non-
MNP features of my PP 2400 is ATE1M0X4V1S7=60S11=55&C1&D2. I'm pretty sure t
{that the &C1 is what makes DTR follow CD instead or just remaining HIgh
at all times. I just found found the manual{.(darn
line noise) &C1 is what you want. makes the DCD signal follow
the state of the distant modem's carrier, rather than just staying on.
You can (after you get the setup the way you like it) write the changes
to nonvolatile RAM by using an AT&Wx command, where x is 0 or 1. You can set
the powerup confguration by using AT&Yx, where x is the same number
that you used with the AT&Wx command. Hope this helps

To all who read this:
 First of all, thank you. Secondly, I am very distressed, for I have
recently erased a program, "Escape From Rungistan", which belongs to a
good friend of mine. I am afraid that there was no backup for this program
and I am very sure that this news will upset her. Anyone with any informa-

 Thanks,

if it is quite unlike CompuServe, if you can send all the E-mail you want

to JAMES SCHMIDT re: R/1701 POST ERROR HARD DRIVE

I've seen that kind of problem a couple of times. It can have various
causes and can be hard to pin down. (Use of a good HD and controller
diagnostic program helps!) I have a HD on a machine which sometimes is
<<very>> slow in powering up-so slow the rest of machine, like yours,
assumes the HD isn't available and so looks to the floppy. With that (old)
machine, I simply keep a disk in the floppy at start-up, let things settle
in for a minute or so, then remove the floppy and press RESET. That's
consistently worked fine for about a year.A common source of problem,
I've been told by a HD tech, is that the bearing which you generally can
visibly see on most HDs that acts somewhat like a clutch is simply dirty,
so the drive doesn't always engage. Generally, for awhile this is more a
nuisance than a problem, as the normal heat and vibration during start-up
can be enough to dislodge it. But of course a fix is eventually needed. (He
advised judicious use of a clean eraser-being <<sure>> to remove all
traces of the erasure residue when done.) On the other hand, it could be
a serious HD or controller problem, which is where the diagnostic programs
really shine. Hope this helps.

If you call your local Sears store and ask them if the Prodigy kits are in,
f*you may get a pleasant surprise, especially if you call the Chicago
Ridge Store (where I got my Prodigy kit). There are no Chicago area
phone numbers listed in the guide, but I got hold of one from a friend
of a friend who just bought a new IBM computer, in which the dealer threw
in a Prodigy kit (or maybe its coming with them now???). In any event, the
is Prodigy service now available in this area.f* Here's the number
in case you decice to get it. 499-0048, that's an Oak Lawn number, I'm sure
there are other numbers, just leave a message to a user who lives in or
near the town where you live. No downloads/uploads yet, and no
plans for a CB simulator, but a lot of nice{features, shopping, sports
news, games, "commercials" that pop up on the lower 1/6th of you screen.

I f*have an AT clone in which I can put up to 4 meg on the mother
board. I am using DOS 4.0 and most of the programs that I am
using Word Perfect etc. recognize 640K of RAM. Is there a fix
in DOS or something that would allow these programs to work
within 4 meg of RAM? Right now I have one meg and WP is a real
memory hog and I cant run twof* applications simulatneously
with WP as one of them.

Msg 42364 is 07 line(s) on 08/26/89 from BILL WOLFF
to RICHARD HINTON re: R/EXTENDED MEMORY??

My understanding is some programs will use extended memory like Lotus
and MicroSoft stuff. Like you can use the extra RAM as a RAMDISK. I like
RAMDISK a lot. Also you can use the memory as a cauge (sp?) to save your
disk drives from wear, handy!

If yor program doesn't support it, then it won't work. But their are
utilities out there to help you get the most out of it.

to WALLY JAMROSE re: THE FIND COMMAND

 I see that you were struggling with the 'find' command.
Syntax is:
 find firstname lastname<cr>
 The spelling must be EXACTLY as the caller being 'found'
spells it. EXACTLY. It's not case sensitive, however.
 I ran it on the person you were seeking, and he last called
08/22/89 @16:06 #42346.
 The '#42346' business is the high message number at his
last call.
 Try the command again. I see you appeared to be appending
a comma after the last name. DON'T do that.

Msg 42368 is 08 line(s) on 08/26/89 from COLIN SCHROEDER
to RICHARD HINTON re: R/EXTENDED MEMORY??

On your machine, you can use a program like DESQview, which can
actually run multiple programs simultaneously. It's a shell
which runs under DOS, and splits up memory between "windows".
I think the 286 (AT) version uses extended memory like standard
dos memory (I know the 386 version does). So essentially what
you're doing is running each program in its own chunk of RAM!
Check into it before buying, however, to verify what I've said
here!

HELP! I've just bought VM/386, a multitasking program from IGC.
If anyone out there has it also, I'd be interested to hear from
you. My basic problems are that I'm trying to configure it to
use 2 video cards/monitors, one VGA and one Hercules. According
to documentation, I should be able to link WordPerfect exclusively
to the virtual machine running it, and simultaneously run progs
on the VGA monitor. But, when WP starts up, it scrambles the VGA,
writing a bunch of high ascii characters in various colors, flashing.
I've also run into a variety of types of screen corruption when
running the VGA-linked virtual machines.
 Does anyone have any ideas?
