to RICHARD GOZDAL re: R/ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM
|
|
|
|
The 'keep quiet' strategy is prevalent in the industry. So much so,
|
|
in fact, that PC-Week (I think) recently ran an editorial decrying
|
|
it! However, the cost of free upgrades en masse is prohibitive, so
|
|
few vendors do so. Microsoft has occasionally done it; I got a
|
|
free upgradde to MS FORTRAN v. 4.01 from 4.0. They just sent a
|
|
bunch of new disks w/ info w/o my even asking for it! This is
|
|
rare though. I hope your Fountain continues to bring you good luck!

to COLIN SCHROEDER re: SOFTWARE UPGRADES
|
|
|
|
Most of the software companies out there don't do mass mailings of new
|
|
releases, but a couple of weeks I got in the mail an unsolicited disk of
|
|
replacement utility programs for PC Tools Deluxe. Since this is about a
|
|
$60 package, either Central Point is non-profit or there must have been
|
|
something really wrong with the previous upgrade.
|
|
As a minor software publisher, I subscribe to the upgrade-on-request
|
|
policy. We mail a notice describing the upgrade, mention that it is free,
|
|
and ask users to call an 800 number. Very few of them do it. I hope that
|
|
doesn't mean the package isn't being used.

|
|
to WARD re: R/DTP FILES
|
|
|
|
Well, the program I've been marketing is used to fully translate word
|
|
processing files to files for almost any phototypesetting machine. It
|
|
has done that well enough that it is beginning make a name for itself
|
|
in graphic arts circles. Lately, though, some people have experimented
|
|
with a shareware copy on files destined for DTP environments and have
|
|
reported fair success even though that wasn't the original intent of
|
|
the program. What they've liked about it is that EasyType, unlike many
|
|
alternatives, <never> disregards any codes in the original file, yet
|
|
<never> passes through codes which have no direct typesetting equivalent
|
|
in raw form. (Instead, they're passed through in an easily-retrieved
|
|
"flagged" form for typesetter attention.)
|
|
I have a strong interest in offering a version of EasyType
|
|
<specifically> targeted on DTP. Obviously, to do so I need to analyze
|
|
how various DTP programs store their data, and to compare that to various
|
|
typesetting file structures.And that's where my original request to
|
|
you comes in. I'm looking for a couple of files (along with a note about
|
|
the program and version of origin). In particular, I'd appreciate one
|
|
<very> simple, short file with an absolute minimum of "fancy" coding
|
|
(font changes, graphics, etc.). And then, at least one <complex> file
|
|
filled with such things.Together, this will provide a starting point.
|
|
Any clearer? (If not, I'd gladly chat voice to clarify what would and
|
|
wouldn't be useful.)
|
|
Again, thanks.

to ALL re: DR. DOBB'S ARTICLE NEEDED
|
|
|
|
I recently released an MS-DOS "file-finder" program which, among other
|
|
options, offers a "fuzzy search" mode to find files when a user doesn't
|
|
sufficiently recall its name to locate it directly or with DOS wildcards.
|
|
Since then, I've received source code for a lengthy function whose algorithm
|
|
offers an excellent resource for expanding my program's feature.
|
|
Unfortunately, I have yet to secure a copy of the code's comments or the
|
|
discussion accompanying it in an article of last year.
|
|
|
|
Does anyone have access to the July '88 issue of Dr. Dobb's (#141)? If so,
|
|
I'd appreciate either a copy of the "Pattern Matching by Gestalt" article or
|
|
arranging access to the issue so I could peruse and return it. If you can
|
|
help with this key bit of research, please leave a message or call voice at
|
|
312.939.3300 (workdays, afternoons best) to make arrangements. Thanks.

|
|
|
|
Ward,
|
|
I am giving serious consideration to replacing my PP2400SA modem
|
|
with a PP2400SA/MNP5.
|
|
Would this cause any performance improvement with this board? Or
|
|
perhaps more importantly would this be incompatable with this board?
|
|
Can you offer any suggestions in the area of setup strings to
|
|
configure the modem for maximum performance/compatability?
|
|
Sincerely,
|
|
James Schmidt

|
|
|
|
Got fed up yesterday with the HOT computer. Installed a second fan
|
|
today MY way. Picked up a nice 120v fan at American Science Center
|
|
for $10.50, drilled holes in a circle like the phone "dial" and
|
|
screwed it to the side of the case by the HDs. Left the center
|
|
as a shield from the fan motor (nothing else between the HDs and
|
|
fan otherwise). The computer is running COLD now. Might get a
|
|
LITTLE static with these 1/2 in. holes but on an XT shouldn't
|
|
be too noticeable. Guess a 386 would wipe out the radio.

I solved the problem. my hand scanner was set to IRQ2. I will set it
|
|
to IRQ 7 since I don't have (and don't see a need for) a math coprocessor.

|
|
I just sent out upgrade notices to older users of one of my commercial
|
|
laser printre utilities. (TSR Download package.) I sent postcards cause
|
|
they're cheap to print and mail- 2.5 cents per printed card + 15 cents po
|
|
postage + 1 label. My upgrade costs $12.50 and includes new version of the
|
|
program, Perfect bound manual, plus a bunch of new utilities. I sent 114
|
|
cards last Friday and have gotten 10 piad upgrades so far. (Not bad for 1
|
|
week!)

I SHOULD upgrade now and don't have the foggiest about 386s. Would
|
|
a FAST 286 be wise at this time? I really only need about 70-80
|
|
meg HD and EGA-VGA monitor. If 386s allow memory addressing above
|
|
640K that might be wise other wise a 286 sounds better to me.
|
|
I figure $2800 is a lot for a 286 and a medium price for a 386.
