Thanks for the tip on Kisors board, Jim. BTW, I'm >not< from San
|
|
Francisco-rather LA-LA land, and North Hollywood to get specific.
|
|
Living so close to all the studios is probably why I'm spoiled at
|
|
having access to a great number of bbses devoted to writing (although
|
|
most of the users were tv and film screenwriters). My main reason for
|
|
wanting a "writers board" is to have an appropriate place to post my
|
|
cache of original limericks (many rather bawdy and for adult eyes
|
|
only), and also to network for possible employment opportunities.
|
|
I was just beginning to build up a nice home-based freelance editing,
|
|
copywriting, etc. business in L.A. when my husband was relocated here.
|
|
So, I'm now starting from scratch again. If any board(s) are useful
|
|
for either or both these purposes, it doesn't truly matter if it's
|
|
a "writers board." Again, thanks for responding and leaving the
|
|
info.ttyl.Kathleen
|
|
p.s. BTW, I'm very partial to the powers of this communications medium.
|
|
My husband and I met long-distance over a NYC bbs (the former Ailanthus

met.but that's another story.bye.Kathleen

to MICHAEL SZEWCZYK re: R/XMODEM CRC
|
|
|
|
If you haven't already done so, call Ward's other board at 849-1132 and
|
|
look through the low-numbered messages. One of them includes a short
|
|
C function that lists the algorithm for the CRC computation. You might also
|
|
look at an old issue of Dr. Dobbs that had CRC routines in it (early 1987,
|
|
I think).
|
|
|
|
It's best not to worry about the division, which is really part of the
|
|
theoretical basis for the algorithm. The actual implementation involves
|
|
shifting a 16-bit integer left 8 times, and XORing it with a value in
|
|
certain cases. In fact, I dragged out a listing for an old Commodore term
|
|
program I wrote and can tell you the algorithm:
|
|
|
|
Let CRL be the low-order byte of the CRC, CRH be the high-order byte, and
|
|
C be the character being sent or received. Let A be a temporary variable.
|
|
Set A=C XOR CRH. Do the following 8 times:
|
|
1) Shift CRL left, with the high bit going into the carry and 0 going into
|
|
the low bit.
|
|
2) Shift A left, with the carry from the previous operation going into the
|
|
low bit.
|
|
3) If the above operation resulted in a carry, set A=A XOR 10HEX and set
|
|
CRL=CRL XOR 21HEX.
|
|
After 8 iterations, set CRH=A.
|
|
|
|
That's really an 8-bit implementation, and enough familiarity has come back
|
|
to let me simplify it a bit. Try this:
|
|
1) XOR the high-order byte of CRC with C.
|
|
2) Do the following 8 times:
|
|
3) Shift CRC left. If a carry results, XOR CRC with 1021HEX
|
|
That's it.

|
|
OK, Mike, do give me a call so that we can discuss it. I had the modem
|
|
repaired by the manufacturer after I bought it from Randy, however, if
|
|
my memory serves me correctly it sarted going intermittant after I used
|
|
it for about a year. I replaced it with and external modem, but never
|
|
re-tested it again to see if my problem really was the modem. (You have
|
|
to remember, early ALTAIRS were also a bit flakey from time to time.)
|
|
Incidently - my two EARLY ALTAIRS both ran last time I fired them up
|
|
about a year ago! (My ALTAIRS are also prized posessions.)

CRH=High Byte

And, lastly, I dont quite understand what you meen by "Shift" this here or

|
is the description:
|
|
|
|
1) Run Wordperfect 5.0 (I am at 11-15-88 level)
|
|
2) Shell to DOS <CTRL> F1
|
|
3) Goto DOS 1
|
|
4) Exit back to WP EXIT
|
|
5) Exit WP F7
|
|
6) Nosave N
|
|
7) Exit Y
|
|
|
|
From the DOS prompt:
|
|
|
|
Delete nonexistant file DEL XXXX
|
|
Issue any SET command SET ABC=DEF
|
|
Execute any EXE program MEM
|
|
At this point I get the message:
|
|
|
|
Invalid COMMAND.COM
|
|
Unable to load Command, System Halted
|
|
|
|
My question is: Is this a DOS or WP problem. How do I determine where to
|
|
point the finger? Only fails after running WP 5.0. Does not fail with
|
|
DOS 3.3.
|
|
Thanks,
|

James

What speed do you need?? 80387-16 goes for about $325 and the 80387-20
|
|
goes for apx $400. So the price of $330 as you stated is about right.

to JAMES SCHMIDT re: R/DOS 4.01 OR WP 5.0 PROBLEM?
|
|
|
|
Can't necessarily say what the source of your problem is for certain, but
|
|
the error message you're getting is being provided directly from the
|
|
operating system, not from WP. I've seen similar experiences with other
|
|
combinations of DOS and applications, and it sounds most likely that you
|
|
have two copies of COMMAND.COM somewhere on your system-floppy and/or
|
|
hard drive. Take a program like LOCATE, WHEREIS or FILEFIND and do a:
|
|
LOCATE <drive>:COMMAND.COM and see if there's a "stray" copy around from
|
|
other than your current version of DOS. (And if so, REMOVE it.) Depending
|
|
how you installed WP, it's possible it's looking to a different directory
|
|
than your normal COMSPEC.
|
|
|
|
Good luck.

to ALL re: EXE2BIN QUERY
|
|
|
|
I've written a little interactive batch-command processor which works fine
|
|
as an .EXE file but yields strange results when turned it into a .COM
|
|
file with EXE2BIN. My program's written in Turbo C using the tiny model so
|
|
it in theory could be turned into a .COM file, and I haven't added any
|
|
"fancy" routines which should conflict with the conversion.EXE2BIN
|
|
offers no complaints, and the program runs fine with one and only one
|
|
apparent bug.My program optionally parses a command line like:
|
|
|
|
C>BATCH command1 /switches;command2;.;command n =my-own-switches-here
|
|
|
|
into discrete commands which are EXECed via COMMAND.COM. However, in the
|
|
.COM version, I always get a spurious character or two after the last of
|
|
the commands, which my program dutifully accepts as a legal part of the
|
|
command during parsing if they're printable characters. (This happens
|
|
regardless of whether my own switches are used or avoided.).My program
|
|
does permit editing of the parsed commands, depending upon a "quiet-mode"
|
|
switch, and after editing all works fine. But if I could find
|
|
and fix the source of this strangeness it would avoid my only reasonable
|
|
current solution, leaving the thing as an .EXE file. Any ideas? Thanx.

James,

It sounds like you might have an extra copy of command.com in there
|
|
somewhere. Perhaps in the word perfect subdirectory.
|
|
The Dos 3.3 Command.com doesn't work with Dos 4.x so you have to be

sure to use the same command.com. (Perhaps you already know
|

all of this.)

I've talked to other users on CIS and other BBS's and they can create

that same problem. Talked to WP Customer Service and mailed them a DOS

CBBS is "coded" to take 3 "any chars" to wake up - I wait for the MODEM
|
|
to tell me the speed - yet some times it seems to take more like 6 or
|
|
so. Basically, my CBBS logon script doesn't care how many it takes -
|
|
the script file line is:
|
|
pat; pat 1i CBBS
|
|
pat 2i Welcome
|
|
pf1
|
|
while n put "\r" wait
|
|
sleep 1
|
|
put \013
|
|
pat 1 "1st time"
|
|
pat 3 "FIRST"
|
|
wait
|
|
What that does is set up pattern 1 to Immediately match "CBBS",
|
|
and also set up pattern 2 to immediately recognize "Welcome." should
|
|
that slip by (normally the ^K will prevent the welcome, but now
|
|
100%).
|
|
PF1 sets the pattern fail time to 1 second, then the WHILE sends a
|
|
CR until either a CBBS or a Welcome shows up.
|
|
I then sleep for .1 second (sleeps are in .1 sec intervals), and
|
|
put a \013 - a ^K, then go on.

I have a friend who is running WP 4.2 under MS-DOS 3.30 on genuine

IBM equipment (an ancient 4.77 MHz PC). She has been getting the

same message on exiting to DOS, and the machine hangs. HOWEVER. We

marginal chips are showing up. Suggestion: Some of the folks out

there with this problem are probably using 8/10/12 MHz machines

running at 12 MHz. Suggest that they should try running WP in a
|
|
slower mode (or make sure they're using wait states) and see if the

problem goes away. I don't know if this will fix things, but, given

the truly marginal RAM I've seen in some clones, it seems worth a
|
|
shot.

I agree totally that a bad RAM chip can cause a whole slew of bizzare
|
|
problems. I have been involved with several other WP 5.0 users on
|
|
Compuserve that past week or so and several other users can
|
|
recreate the problem. Can all those users have bad RAM. And besides
|
|
it does not fail with IBM DOS 3.3 and it makes a difference as
|
|
to what screen font WP is configured to use. If a RAM chip is bad I
|
|
think the version of DOS and screen font whould make minimal difference.
|
|
Yes? No?

to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: ARTICLE IN TODAY'S TRIB
|
|
|
|
ward, i don't know if you receive the chicago tribune, but in today's
|
|
edition, in the Tempo section, there was an article on bbs communication
|
|
that mentioned you and Randy. it is reproduced below (verbatim)
|
|
'The founding fathers'
|
|
That was no problem for the two men who in 1978 invented the computer
|
|
bulletin board, Randy Seuss (sic) of Chicago and Ward Christensen of south
|
|
suburban Dalton. Both were members of the Chicago Area Computer Hobbyist
|
|
Exchange, and it occurred to them that CACHE needed a place to exchange
|
|
messages. So one snowy weekend, Christensen hacked out a bulletin board
|
|
program, and Seuss (sic) put up the board in his basement. They called it
|
|
CBBS/Chicago (for Computer Bulletin Board System/Chicago), and trademarked
|
|
the name.
|
|
"The trademark sounds silly today because the name sounds so generic,"
|
|
says Christensen. "But remember it was the first one, when 'bulletin board'
|
|
would have meant cork and push pins. And CBBS/Chicago (545-8086) was set
|
|
up as a message board, not a download board. It still is. I'd rather
|
|
have people sharing ideas rather than programs. Otherwise it's just tied
|
|
up hour after hour with downloading."
|
|
Nevertheless, it was Christensen who invented Xmodem, the first program
|
|
to detect and correct errors as programs were sent from one computer to
|
|
another. Without error checking, telephone line noise may add bogus bits
|
|
and bytes to software, rendering it useless. Without error checking,
|
|
BBSes would still be message boards.
|
|
|
|
the article begins with a discussion of popular BBSes nationwide (like
|
|
Exec-PC) and ends with a section on Andrew Fluegelman's PC-Talk and
|
|
shareware/freeware.
|
|
just thought that you would be interested in the above excerpts.

to ALL re: NEW CHICAGO USER
|
|
|
|
Greetings, I am born and bred Chicagoan, returning from a four
|
|
year stint in the jungles of New York City; I finished a master program
|
|
in business at NYU, and learned how to use my PC. Now I would like to
|
|
find out about what's available in BBSes. Can someone tell me where I
|
|
can get the Darwin USBBS list?

to WARD re: CONGRATULATIONS!
|
|
|
|
I also saw the article in today's paper. Just wanted to pass along my
|
|
congrats, and wish you best of luck on getting the original CBBS
|
|
hardware into the Smithsonian. Any luck on finding another prop for
|
|
the water heater? I wonder if there is any hope of getting the originalsystem functional again?
|
|
I left this question on chinet, but post it here as well: How did you
|
|
ever meet Randy? Were you friends before the inspiration for CBBS struck?
|
|
And- just how did all this BBS stuff get started, anyway? This might
|
|
be better discussed over pizza than here, but in light of all the hist-
|
|
orical interest, could you give it an abbreviated shot here? I'll bet
|
|
I'm not the only one who's curious!

to ALL re: ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
|
|
|
|
I'm writing a batch file in MS-DOS that adds a variable to the environment.
|
|
In my particular case, I call it USR. It contains the login ID that I
|
|
will later use (by another batch file) to keep user's directories separate.
|
|
Here's the problem: I'm using an HP Vectra that uses a DOS shell (PAM).
|
|
One of the menu choices from PAM is "MS-DOS Commands". Once selected, it
|
|
invokes COMMAND.COM to give me a command interpreter. While using this
|
|
new shell, I create the environment variable. If I return to PAM (using
|
|
the command EXIT ) then return to COMMAND.COM, I find my variable has
|
|
disappeared. Odd, since the rest of the environment (PROMPT, SHELL, etc.)
|
|
survives intact.
|
|
|
|
Is there a way of "exporting" environment variables so they survive the
|
|
termination of the current command processor?
