to JAMES SCHMIDT re: PS/2 DRIVES
|
|
|
|
Sorry, I don't know - but I suspect that at the time the 30-021
|
|
came out, there was no plan for the 30-286, much less the 30-E31 version
|
|
with its 30M hard drive, so I doubt the ROMS handle that drive.
|
|
Also I believe IBM stepped up to the customer requirements for faster
|
|
drives at some time and the newer drives might be different - perhaps
|
|
even a different head/cyl layout.

to JAMES SCHMIDT re: AFTERMARKET DRIVES
|
|
|
|
Not all 3.5"ers have the same form factor - or at least not all have
|
|
the same connector.
|
|
My technique for stuff that I don't personally have is to find a
|
|
company making a drive THEY say is compatible. For my own purposes,
|
|
I either get a controller that is customizable, or got a ROM set that
|
|
supports "a jillion drives".
|
|
(It is called "Second Nature Rom").

Msg 42898 is 30 line(s) on 12/16/89 from WARD CHRISTENSEN
|
|
to BRENT JONES re: GRANDVIEW/PCO
|
|
|
|
I use Grandview mostly for writing responses to complicated letters
|
|
requesting hardware configurations. It allows me to organize my thoughts
|
|
into general categories, then expound on them. (Gee, that's a generic
|
|
answer - that is what ALL outliners do!)
|
|
I found one problem: that I need to use it more to be more familiar with
|
|
it. There are just too many capabilities for me to memorize all the
|
|
added keys. The worst case was where I'd do a FIND then ESC out of it,
|
|
almost CURSING the fact that it kept going BACK to where I was, not
|
|
staying "at the find". Well, read the manual today, it is as simple as
|
|
pressing ENTER to stay there, ESC to go back. VERY good way to do it!
|
|
One problem I have is that I DON'T plan the outline well enough - I
|
|
just "write", and find that I have covered things in II/C that were
|
|
really supposed to be in III, so I just grab II/C and make it III. That's
|
|
"making use of its capabilities" but not correctly. I SHOULD remember
|
|
to do it "top down".
|
|
I don't use categories. I don't know what they are. And I accidentally
|
|
hit the "gather" key, and got kind of lost. It actually, for now, has
|
|
TOO MANY capabilities.
|
|
P.S. don't expect any more mailings from Brown Bag about your copy of
|
|
PCO - they just declared bankruptcy. Actually, I HAVE gotten letters
|
|
from the "courts" since I was on their registered user list (not BB,
|
|
but other companies) and there might have been an obligation for future
|
|
free updates or something that would represent a small obligation.
|
|
I have extremely customized the keyboard, but am VERY annoyed at quite
|
|
a few things about Grandview - most notably that the keyboard definitions
|
|
ONLY apply in 'pure text edit mode'. For example, if you start to move
|
|
an item, only the unwanted cursor keys work, not MY CONTROL KEYS for
|
|
"cursor down". Also, the thing can't seem to be customized for short
|
|
on-screen lines, so it doesn't jump back and forth! VERY VERY VERY
|
|
annoying. I was working w/2 other people and continually apologizing for it!

|
|
to CHERYL SLUDER re: R/STARTING UP A BBS
|
|
|
|
Sorry, no. If you have questions, leave a msg. But remember, this
|
|
BBS was started by Randy Suess (at whose house it still resides) in
|
|
February of 1978, so to ask me about "starting a BBS" is only relevant
|
|
from the historical sense. For example, we don't have "doors",
|
|
"downloads", etc.

Msg 42900 is 12 line(s) on 12/16/89 from WARD CHRISTENSEN
|
|
to JAMES KARAGANIS re: R/COPY NAME1+NAME2
|
|
|
|
Oh, ok, thanks. I've always had the ^Z get eaten OK. (more to the
|
|
point, I noticed that an UNWANTED ^Z appears at the end of the
|
|
final file - I know it wasn't in either file to start.).
|
|
I've started writing my own append command - to append the "send" files
|
|
to a "sent" file, but also to append the date and time before the file.
|
|
For example, for Compuserve, I might have "IBMHW.S", which I send, then
|
|
append to "CIS.SNT", but without a header SAYING it is a send file
|
|
to IBMHW, it is not as meaningful, and very hard to do anything with
|
|
at a later time.
|
|
But then again like magazines, I tend to keep things I SHOULDN'T, and
|
|
some day my house is going to sink! - just as my hard drives "sink"
|
|
from all the data I have on 'em (they're always full).

to RICHARD HINTON re: R/6 OR ABOVE BOARD?
|
|
|
|
People who have the Inboard 386 from Intel love it. The price is quite
|
|
outstanding - something like 5-600 for a 386!
|
|
If you got enough memory (say 2M) on an inboard, you could use one of
|
|
the magic programs that turns extended memory into expanded (like QEMM 386
|
|
or 386^MAX (pronounced 386-to-the-max).

I picked up a used PS/2 Model 50 that included an IBM internal modem.

Unfortunately, a power surge caused the software configuration to be

to ALL re: COPYRIGHT HELP.
|
|
|
|
I know about copyrighting a program "I" write but I am asking about
|
|
a program I write using third party TOOLS (copyrighted, bought!).
|
|
Do you just include on the Copyright form that part is already
|
|
copyrighted? and leave out ANY code to that effect on the printout?
|
|
i.e., just print out the code "I" wrote and leave the rest to
|
|
the commercial TOOLS copyright?

Msg 42906 is 17 line(s) on 12/16/89 from BRENT JONES
|
|
to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/GRANDVIEW/PCO
|
|
|
|
Ward,
|
|
I would suggest strongly that you give PC Outline a try, at least for
|
|
an hour or so. I have been using it very heavily for about 18 months.
|
|
And I think that many of the annoying things that you mentioned about
|
|
Grandview *May* not be in PCO. The keyboard macros are very nicely
|
|
done. Just watch out for and change Ctrl + RtArrow if you are used
|
|
to the WordStar conventions for cursor movements. WS gives word right,
|
|
but PCO gives DELETE word right! Ditto for Ctrl + LeftArrow.
|
|
The category feature of Grandview is the main reason that I would
|
|
go to it. I think that you should read about 5 pages of the manual on it
|
|
and give it a little trial. You might not ever use it but the reviews
|
|
of GV say it is a great feature.
|
|
What do you think will happen to all the software owned by Brown Bag?
|
|
Will it go to new owners? or to Public Domain? If PCO had been sold
|
|
for about $75 thru normal software sales (rather than shareware) BB
|
|
might still be in business.
|
|
How is the bulletin board going for the IBM campus reps?

I am wondering what are the favorite editors of the people who

visit this BBS. I have been using a lot of different things,

Anyone have any very small editors that are PD or shareware?

I use VDE as a programming editor a lot. It's nice and small, Wordstar

Msg 42909 is 08 line(s) on 12/17/89 from ERIC BOHLMAN
|
|
to RICHARD GOZDAL re: R/COPYRIGHT HELP.
|
|
|
|
I guess it would depend on how much of the third-party libraries exist
|
|
in source rather than object form. If portions of the third-party stuff
|
|
make it into the source, I'd just include the copyright notice that came with
|
|
them. There's also an option to leave certain portions of the source
|
|
blank; you could do that in your submission, with a comment to the effect
|
|
that those portions are copyright by third parties (this does, however, mean
|
|
that you have to submit more of your own source than if you didn't blank out
|
|
portions).
|
|

Msg 42910 is 12 line(s) on 12/17/89 from RICHARD GOZDAL
|
|
to ERIC BOHLMAN re: R/COPYRIGHT HELP.
|
|
|
|
With these TOOLS there are "sample" programs used to CALL the
|
|
assembly (OBJ) files. The OBJ files are used for compling so
|
|
I guess they CANNOT in anyway be included even though the ASM
|
|
source for some are included with one KIT.
|
|
The original code will be so short using all the routin}ies
|
|
that a few pages mightt even suffice. These QB TOOLS get SO
|
|
inclusive that they can do most of the pgm except the MAIN purpose
|
|
which wouldbe NEW code. At least it would save on mailing when
|
|
sending in a copy of the code! I guess the Copyright notice
|
|
of 3rd party tools ON the form is enough plus a REM about
|
|
the TOOLS used. Then again if the name is NOT given for the TOOLS
|
|
no one can figure it out! Will have to read the FORM closer.
