Boy, I have NO idea. Since I became a "product" (PC) marketing specialist,
|
||
|
I haven't even ordered any manuals for myself. We DO have a look-up
|
||
|
system ("BOIS" - Branch Office Information System), but I have NO idea
|
||
|
where you go to actually ORDER manuals.
|
||
|
I'll bet this is a question the main IBM operators get all the time -
|
||
|
you might just call 245-2000 and see if they know. I'll be out at
|
||
|
customers.

|

Dunno much about STACK.COM, but 4DOS (a version of which comes with Norto
|
||
|
Utilities under the name NDOS) includes a better command line history
|
||
|
than DOSKEY. It has sophisticated command line completion so that if
|
||
|
you enter DIR and press up arrow it will bring backe the last command
|
||
|
line that began with DIR. 4DOS has dozens of other useful features,
|
||
|
including multiple commands on a single line, batch-to=memory files that are
|
||
|
read into memory all at once instead of one line at a time, multiple
|
||
|
arguments for most dos commands (copy this that andother b: copies all
|
||
|
three specified files to b:), aliases, and echoes the names of deleted
|
||
|
files (I can't believe that we're at DOS 6 - and Novell DOS 7 - and
|
||
|
neither of them echoes the names of deleted files!). Go for it!

Jim Coates wrote about aging CMOS batteries last Sunday in the
|
||
|
Tribune. Here's a note I emailed to him in response:
|
||
|
|
||
|
jcoats1@aol.com
|
||
|
/R
|
||
|
I saw your article (about aging CMOS batteries) in the Chicago TRIBUNE,
|
||
|
Another problem with very old PCs that is starting to appear is hard-disk
|
||
|
demagnetization.
|
||
|
A few months ago, my PC began to act strange. It would pause during the
|
||
|
access of a certain file on the hard disk; make a long, slow seek
|
||
|
(evidentally to the diagnostic cylinder); then slowly seek back and
|
||
|
continue reading the file. Two days ago, I noticed the same symptom on
|
||
|
a friend's computer.
|
||
|
In both cases, a check of the FAT map showed that there were no clusters
|
||
|
near the hub for either of the files in question. Both our machines are
|
||
|
about nine or ten years old.
|
||
|
I completely cured the problem on my machine by simply running SPINRITE,
|
||
|
and I hope to do the same for my friend's machine very soon.
|
||
|
Thanks for bringing the CMOS battery problem to our attention.

hi ward. it's been a long time since i logged on, but my wife rememebered
|
||
|
the exchange and i remembered the number. this was the first bbs we logged
|
||
|
in to and it's a great pleasure to drop in again. i think that was about
|
||
|
the time you all started up, and i want to extend my thanks for all the
|
||
|
good work you've provided for us over the years. it was a pretty good idea
|
||
|
back then and i'm so happy to have been a part of it. i'm looking at my
|
||
|
calendar now, and i see grey's lake on march 27th. that's always been a
|
||
|
pretty good hamfest, so i think we'll head up there to see what's
|
||
|
available, junkwise and for weird small parts. are you on packet? i moved
|
||
|
back downtown recently, and haven't gotten a IP station
|
||
|
up cuz the rf links are questionable, but that's the plan. we'll see what
|
||
|
capra comes up with. again, thanks for everything. it's been great, and we
|
||
|
all owe you all so much. so let's see if i remember the cbbs command for
|
||
|
sending a message. kevin h & marie sarapata

|

|

I will give away to the first takers 2 ASR-33 Teletypes
|
||
|
which were working when last used 2 or 3 years ago.
|
||
|
They must be picked up in Lake Forest-I cannot ship!
|
||
|
Possibly some manuals also. Here is a chance to acquire
|
||
|
a piece of history-the price is right!
