Interesting that the bulletin board stuff was apparently an add-on
|
|
(and to me is VERY VERY frustrating - you send, then it says "you pressed
|
|
send, did you mean to?". I find myself swearing at Prodigy for its
|
|
inability to just let you do something, instead treating you like a
|
|
novice every step of the way. I don't mind a helping hand now and then,
|
|
but seriously, when receiving a msg and replying, can't it do SOMETHING
|
|
better than put you BACK in msg edit on the msg you created? I figured
|
|
I'd done something wrong, and did the send function, wound up back in
|
|
message edit AGAIN, finally figured it was just pretty bad software.
|
|
As if that wasn't bad enuf, the guy I was replying to said "I received
|
|
most of your msgs twice, why?" heh heh.
|
|
They need a new logo. "Prodigy. The system you love to hate".
|
|
As to being still online, one morning reading my mail, I got SO frustrated
|
|
that I just ctrl-alt-del'd it, then was up taking a shower when I said
|
|
"you know, I'll bet it never hung up". Sure enough, it was still here
|
|
on the phone line. Sigh.

Type the following exactly: or;1,mills bbs

this will retrieve a msg from Jim Mills about his BBS which was a CP/M

bbs for a long time. Like many it is now on a PC, but that would be a

good place to start anyway. I checked, Jim hasn't called in HERE since

September, so best to go try his board directly.

P.S. or means One line summary with Retrieve, then ; says enter the

I suspect that MEX (one of the best CP/M PD telecommunications programs)
|
|
has overlays for your hardware. If interested, you can call a BBS I run
|
|
(still operating on a CP/M system) to check. Exit the message base, then
|
|
type GO MODEM. Once there, you'll either need to look for overlays which
|
|
"look like" your computer, terminal and modem, or check the "basic MEX
|
|
library" (name escapes me, but should be obvious). That library contains
|
|
everything <except> hardware-specific files; it also contains a list of
|
|
all hardware-specific overlays and the equipment for which they're written.
|
|
With that list, you should be able to determine exactly which of the scores
|
|
of overlay files you'll need. (Type HELP for further info.) Good luck.

"Chicago's FIRST P.C. Board >< User Supported Since 1985"
|
|
is
|
|
proud
|
|
to announce:
|
|
A major Upgrade! To P.C. Board Version 14.2
|
|
As most Chicago BBS users may already know, Ye Olde Archive has been a
|
|
Leader in providing comprehensive file, message and bulletin services.
|
|
We began supporting P.C. Board and the .ARC format in 1986 and have been
|
|
loyal to these two institutions ever since, hoping that in the IBM-PC-AT
|
|
shifting landscape we could provide a landmark of constancy for our users.
|
|
SO:
|
|
It is with great deliberation and planning that we announce a Major-type
|
|
Upgrade to P.C. Board V.14.2 and the adoption of PKZIP 1.02.
|
|
Long-time users know that John "Dr. Byte" Rosengarten does not change BBS
|
|
software lightly and that file compression techniques come and go with the
|
|
tides. BUT!
|
|
There comes a time when a New Standard must be adopted. or we go the
|
|
way of the dinosaur and the IBM 370 mainframe into oblivion.
|
|
Therefore!
|
|
Ye Olde Archive Electron Mail Service BBS hereby upgrades to the latest
|
|
version of P.C. Board and formally adopts the PKZIP file compression
|
|
method.

I shouldn't really put myself on the spot, but I work for Ma Bell. The
|
|
noise could be attributed to many things. It could be due to bad grounding
|
|
(as someone else said) on your equipment. Or it could be due to our equiip-
|
|
ment (but that never happens!?!). Maybe I could help if you can tell me
|
|
what the noise was like. Was it a tone, clicking, crosstalk, buzzing, or
|
|
something else? I am no expert, but advice is free.
|
|
If it happens in the meantime, contact your Service Representative
|
|
(number's in the front of your phone book) as SOON as it happens. A lot
|
|
of times the trouble comes and goes, so you have to catch it right away.
|

Good luck.

The error you are getting is basically in two parts.
|
|
The 4056 is an error in the memory bank, with each digit in the
|
|
4056 telling you the exact location where the chip is not functioning,
|
|
while the 301 error indicates an error in the key-board. Referring
|
|
to the manual will pin-point the exact location of the bad memory
|
|
chip.

You may then kill ALL messages that you have left (selectively),

even those you have "passworded" and have forgotten that password.

Messages TO you may also be killed, provided the sender did NOT

"password" the msgs themselves. You will not be able to kill those,

Use a bit of caution here, okay?

I mention caution since in-advertant ATTEMPTS to erase msgs

SCO is one of the most respected companies for PC based Unix. I suggest
|
|
talking to them. They advertise in the Unix magazines I'm quite sure,
|
|
and probably in other mags (as I've seen the ads, but don't recall where).
|
|
The name is "Santa Cruz Operation" so I assume that is their home base,
|
|
a call to information there should yield a number.
|

Alternatively you might want to talk to Randy Suess who just moved his
|

10-user Unix from an aging 3B2 to a 386.

If you want REAL OLD and REAL CHEAP and don't need PC hi-bit char set,
|
|
I have an old Gemini 10-X that a friend who borrowed it is bringing back.
|
|
Its drawbacks are that it uses "spool" ribbons, etc. I don't have it
|
|
yet, but when I get it back it would definitely be <$100, about as cheap
|
|
as you can find a printer.

Anyone considering PC Outline should abandon Brown Bag (they tried to sue
|
|
the author to keep him from producing a competitor). John Friend, the
|
|
author, went on to create a VERY strong competitor, called GrandView. I
|
|
just bought it - and it is very nice, albeit costing about $200.

to ALL re: COMDEX REPORT
|
|
|
|
Just got back from a week at Comdex. Wow. My feet are tired!
|
|
Needless to say (so here I say it) everyone who would go would be looking
|
|
for something different, so my interests won't match others.
|
|
For the person wanting to outfit their own machine, it was either heaven
|
|
or hell - the latter if you feel just innundated by board after replacement
|
|
board for your XT or AT or to build a new Tower System. Everything from
|
|
$225 SX-286s, to the many machines showing off their Landmark Benchmarks,
|
|
which puts up a bar graph corresponding to the equivalent AT Mhz speed -
|
|
with something in the ONE HUNDRED TWENTIES being the fastest I saw - for
|
|
I think a 33MHz 486.
|
|
I enjoyed seeing all the slick 300 DPI wax transfer color printers, and
|
|
the "Dye transfer" printers that produce photographic quality.
|
|
The new HP IIP was nice - but many people have seen 'em because they are
|
|
selling so well.
|
|
Probably the single most striking thing was the beautiful color display
|
|
I saw on an IBM P70 120M 20MHz 386 portable.
|
|
I enjoyed the various small laptops. The Atari Folio (?) had a childish
|
|
8 x 40 display and sidestepped MS-DOS compatability issues; also had Ctrl
|
|
in the "wrong" place (not left of A) so even if it WERE compatible I wouldn't
|
|
want it; the Poqet, being shown in the Fujitsu booth, looked VERY nice -
|
|
runs 100 hours on 2 AA batteries - less than 1c/hr. Screen was quite tiny
|
|
(though large for the size of the machine - couldn't BE larger) with full
|
|
80 x 25, 640 x 200 graphics. Slide-in RAM cards, and a lap-link type product
|
|
made this very interesting - and only the $2K price had me saying "interesting
|
|
but not for me".
|
|
Toshiba's new T1000SE looked very nice - white case (I prefer something
|
|
darker) but everything "2x" what it is in the T1000 - 1M vs 512K, 400 line
|
|
vs 200 line display, 1.44M diskette vs 720, 9.6MHz vs 4.77. Big drawback
|
|
was the very strikingly readable screen - brings batt life down to 2+ hrs.
|
|
Blew $80 on the "Slots" but made $205, so that was enjoyable too! ;-)

to ALL re: NEW BBS FOR CHICAGO PUB SCHLS
|
|
|
|
The Chicago Board of Education has setup a new Electronic Info Exchange System
|
|
The EIES of the Chicago Public Schools (312) 890-8513 * 3 lines open
|
|
Supporting 2400, 1200, 300 bauds 24 hours a day. Support for most brands of
|
|
computers, 200 message areas, online conferencing, U/D libraries, threaded
|
|
message reading (see only what you want), etc., etc.
|
|
Now in BETA stage, we want your feedback. Call EIES and experience a new way
|
|
to communicate. EIES promises to rival CompuServe, only better - no fees.
|
|
EIES uses Magpie BBS software by Steven Manes of NYC. It's a tree-structured
|
|
system, that makes finding what you want quite easy. Future additions to EIES
|
|
include online encyclopedia, homework help, teachers' lesson plans, Networking,
|
|
and hopefully, an (800) number in 1990. Give us a call.
|
|
Once again, that number is:
|
|
EIES (eyes) of the Chicago Pub. Schls - (312) 890-8513 * 3 lines = no waiting

to ALL re: LOST FORTRAN LIBRARY
|
|
|
|
I recently acquired an old copy of a Fortran compiler, but it's missing the
|
|
Fortran to DOS library. I've never used Fortran and thought I'd just try it
|
|
and educate myself. But without the F-2-DOS library, I can't do a thing.
|
|
If anyone knows how I could obtain a copy, I'd really appeciate a note here,
|
|
or at the EIES of the Chicago Public Schools - (312) 890-8513
|
|
I'm the Sub-op for the IBM areas, and am known as Mr. Nobody there.
|
|
Thanks for your help, Dennis Tokoph

I have an Olympia NP80 that I want to sell.
|
|
It is an 80-column, 160cps, Epson-FX80-compatible printer.
|
|
Rear tractor feed.
|
|
Takes same ribbons as MX-RX-FX 80 series Epsons.
|
|
Works nice, but descenders are n.f.g. (might need new printhead,
|
|
but the upper-case stuff is all just fine).
|
|
$100 + you pay the U.P.S. charges from far NW Indiana.
|
|
dup. chars.
