This week we follow with another BBS
|
|
software issue. Last week we debuted
|
|
the release (pre-release) of Express
|
|
Pro. This week after the news story,
|
|
we will expand on previous coverge of
|
|
Carina II BBS system.
|
|
|
|
Please read ST-Report this week for
|
|
information on the Word Perfect news
|
|
from last week. Interesting reading
|
|
for everyone.
|
|
|
|
Thanks again to everyone who has sent
|
|
email and cards for the baby. It was
|
|
unexpected and appreciated.
|
|
|
|
Disk mailings are taking place this week to those of you who have sent
|
|
in disks for Zmagazine reproductions.
|
|
I am sorry for the long delay, I have
|
|
been under alot of backlogged paper
|
|
and am finally begining to see some
|
|
light.
|
|
|
|
Official Zmag registration details
|
|
will be listed in an upcoming issue.
|
|
All Zmag systems carrying our
|
|
magazines are required to atleast
|
|
register for a user number. We are
|
|
setting up a network and want to
|
|
get systems on the list for mailings
|
|
and special survey information. This
|
|
is not a mandatory request. But if
|
|
you want coverage and mentions in
|
|
Zmag, you must be registered.

ATARI ACCUSES MICRON TECHNOLOGY OF
|
|
ILLEGALLY EXPLOITING MEMORY CHIPS
|
|
|
|
SAN JOSE, Calif. (MARCH 15) AP - Atari
|
|
Corp. of Sunnyvale has charged Micron
|
|
Technology Inc. of Boise, Idaho, with
|
|
illegally exploiting a shortage of
|
|
computer memory chips.
|
|
|
|
The computer and video company on
|
|
Monday filed suit in U.S. District
|
|
Court, seeking an order to make the
|
|
Idaho semiconductor manufacturer pay
|
|
the California company an unspecified
|
|
amount of damages. The suit charges
|
|
breach of contract, bad faith and
|
|
violation of federal antitrust law.
|
|
There was no immediate response from
|
|
Micron Technology.
|
|
|
|
Micron Technology is one of only two
|
|
U.S.-based companies that make the
|
|
most common kind of computer memory
|
|
chip, known as dynamic random access
|
|
memory chips, or D-RAMs. The other is
|
|
Texas Instruments Inc. of Dallas.
|
|
|
|
The shortage of the chips has been
|
|
caused by strong sales of personal
|
|
computers, the changeover to a new
|
|
generation of chips, and a 1986 accord
|
|
between the United States and Japan
|
|
aimed at ending Japanese ''dumping''
|
|
of the chips at unfairly low prices.

FCC REPORTEDLY TO SCRAP PLAN TO RAISE
|
|
PHONE RATES FOR COMPUTER USERS
|
|
|
|
WASHINGTON (MARCH 17) AP - The Federal
|
|
Communications Commission plans to
|
|
scrap a proposal that would
|
|
substantially increase telephone
|
|
charges for business and home computer
|
|
users, sources said Wednesday.
|
|
|
|
FCC Chairman Dennis R. Patrick has
|
|
concluded that, based on strong and
|
|
nearly unanimous opposition to the
|
|
proposal, the plan should be dropped,
|
|
according to sources at the commission
|
|
and on Capitol Hill.
|
|
|
|
Commissioner Patricia Diaz Dennis said
|
|
Patrick had not spoken with her about
|
|
a recommendation to drop the plan, but
|
|
she said she agreed with the idea.
|
|
'There's a lot on our plate right now
|
|
and I don't think I'd miss not seeing
|
|
that on it,'' she said.
|
|
|
|
The third commissioner, James Quello,
|
|
could not be reached for comment.
|
|
Patrick's office had no comment on the
|
|
reports. The commission was expected
|
|
to vote in two to three months to drop
|
|
the proposal.
|
|
|
|
Users of these services flooded the
|
|
FCC and Capitol Hill with thousands
|
|
of letters opposing the plan, which
|
|
would add about $4.50 an hour to the
|
|
cost of hooking up to information
|
|
services.
|
|
|
|
They said the increased charges, which
|
|
would double the hourly hookup price
|
|
for some information services, would
|
|
drive many of them off the computer
|
|
networks and crush a fledgling
|
|
industry.
|
|
|
|
Rep. Edward J. Markey, D-Mass.,
|
|
chairman of the House Energy and
|
|
Commerce telecommunications
|
|
subcommittee, said that in light of
|
|
the commission's apparent reversal on
|
|
the proposal he would delay
|
|
indefinitely introduction of a bill
|
|
preventing the FCC from imposing the
|
|
access charges.

CARINA II PREVIEW
|
|
______________________________________
|
|
Captured by Ron Kovacs
|
|
|
|
The following capture contains
|
|
commentary and facts about the Carina
|
|
II BBS system. Jerry Horanoff took
|
|
me through the tour which lasted
|
|
approx 3 hours plus.
|
|
|
|
I have tried to keep the contents
|
|
flowing and there are parts where I
|
|
have gone off in the wrong direction.
|
|
|
|
You are invited to take a look at the
|
|
system yourself. Give the Carina BBS
|
|
a call. The number is a the end of
|
|
this review.
|
|
|
|
Now Mr. Horanoff speaks:
|
|
|
|
Before anyone gets too excited, let me
|
|
first state that you MUST use
|
|
SpartaDos to run this BBS. No
|
|
if/ands/or buts about it. It is also
|
|
HIGHLY recommended that you have
|
|
atleast a 192k ramdisk (although it is
|
|
not required) and/or a hard drive. You
|
|
certainly don't need a hard drive, but
|
|
if you don't have a ramdisk, it would
|
|
be MUCH more of a benefit to have one.
|
|
|
|
You can run this system on as little
|
|
as 500k of storage space (including
|
|
ramdisk and disk drives), but the more
|
|
space you have, the more impressive
|
|
the system will be.

Notice that Carina II can now use
|
|
single letter input now. No need for
|
|
you (if not an expirenced Carina user
|
|
to activate a ctrl and letter command.
|
|
Simple one letter key commands make
|
|
life a bit easier for you (lazy)
|
|
people. Hehehe
|
|
______________________________________
|
|
Carina II supports many different
|
|
types of terminal emulation. ASCII/
|
|
ATASCII, VT-52 monochrome, VT-52
|
|
color, line-feeds on/off, etc...
|
|
|
|
Switching from ASCII to ATASCII is
|
|
as simple as switching your terminal
|
|
program's translation and hitting
|
|
RETURN at any command prompt (no sense
|
|
making things difficult, right?).
|
|
|
|
Switching your other terminal options
|
|
is done by use of the -Settings-
|
|
command:

As you can see, there are a lot of
|
|
different settings that you can
|
|
personalize to your own needs. Carina
|
|
II supports 80 columns now, page
|
|
breaks, continuous read, and others..
|
|
The header can be toggled along with
|
|
the features above.
|
|
|
|
There is also a macro that you can
|
|
define to be anything you want (the
|
|
-$- key). This is not a command, it's
|
|
a string that can contain multiple
|
|
commands that you use use frequently
|
|
(just like you would set a macro in
|
|
your terminal program, you can set a
|
|
macro on the BBS as well (in case your
|
|
terminal program doesn't support such
|
|
things)). It can be up to 30
|
|
characters long.
|
|
|
|
Message Bases
|
|
______________________________________
|
|
Unlike Carina 1, Carina II is devided
|
|
up into Sections (Special Interest
|
|
Groups (SIGs for short)). Each
|
|
section has its own message base, file
|
|
area, database area, game area,
|
|
voting poll, and you can even assign
|
|
it its own SysOp! Each section also
|
|
has its own bulletin file.
|
|
|
|
Below is a sample of a few areas and
|
|
the different bulletins and commands
|
|
available to navigate through the
|
|
message areas.
|
|
|
|
Here are the different Sections
|
|
available on this BBS (yours, can, of
|
|
course, be personalized to your own
|
|
needs as a SysOp):
|
|

If I wanted to switch to, say, the

You are then shown what this section
|
|
has to offer. This section has a

|
|
there are 82 new files. This section

there is a votepoll. Let's take a

Let me define a few of the less
|
|
obvious functions here:
|
|
|
|
[+] will skip forward within the
|
|
message base (example: +, typing
|
|
+10 at this prompt would skip the
|
|
over 10 messages). likewise,
|
|
typing -10 would skip back 10
|
|
10 messages. This is much more
|
|
convenient than having to quit
|
|
reading and enter the read command
|
|
when you want to change directions
|
|
(for example, if you were reading
|
|
forward and you wanted to start
|
|
reading reverse, you don't have to
|
|
quit the read to do it).
|
|
|
|
You can also just type a message
|
|
number at this prompt and it will
|
|
immediately go to that message! You
|
|
have true random access to messages.
|
|
|
|
These message bases also have full
|
|
threading capability. You can [T]race
|
|
back to the message that the current
|
|
message is a reply to, or [F]ind
|
|
replies to this message. You can
|
|
[M]ark messages normally used when
|
|
scanning to search for message titles
|
|
that sound like they may be
|
|
interesting and then go back and read
|
|
marked messages.
|
|
|
|
Let me demonstrate a few of these:

The Twilight Zone BBS will be going

down for a little while. I should have
|
|
the board back up in a week, but I am
|
|
not sure. I will post a message here,
|
|
when I have it done. I won't tell you
|
|
why, but you will understand why when
|
|
you call it. It's a surprise, and I'll
|
|
never tell......Now you who know....
|
|
mum's the word. Such a corny cliche,
|
|
why did I say that? I don't know....
|
|
well,...see ya' when it's back up in a
|
|
week or so....maybe this weekend...

Where am I? Well at the moment about

|
to be buried in a big nor'easter.. Hmm
|
|
I like snow.. oh well it will not

|
I have been very busy with a few

|
College Applications

|
|
School (homework)
|
|
RoboWar II modifications/docs

|
Alternate Reality: The Dungeon
|
|
(A Fantastic game, a must have!)
|
|
|
|
and throw in the occassional reading
|
|
of a book (asimov, clarke, donaldson,
|
|
pier, to name a few) and that
|
|
basically fills my time. Oh yea.
|
|
Sleep, eat and that other human

necessity that you never see being

Pressing [N] for next section will
|
|
immediately take you to the next
|
|
section (obviously) allowing you to
|
|
read messages there. This comes in
|
|
handy when you are doing a -Read All-
|
|
(i.e. Read ALL messages in ALL
|
|
sections).
|
|
|
|
You can also define only those
|
|
sections that you want to define the
|
|
word -All-. For example, if you only
|
|
had the Atari 8-bit section and the ST
|
|
section tagged for -All- then when
|
|
you do a -Read All- it will only go
|
|
through those sections, omitting
|
|
sections that are not of interest to
|
|
you (like Commodore <- hehe).
|
|
|
|
You can tag/untag these sections by
|
|
use of the settings command
|
|
demonstrated earlier:

Good. We got rid of commodores.
|
|
|
|
Luckily this section does have a file
|
|
area. Of course, it does not have to
|
|
have one (the General section doesn't
|
|
for example). It doesn't have to have
|
|
a message base either for that matter.
|
|
|
|
If you are us~nsure about what
|
|
features are in an area, you can type
|
|
-Sec-Stats- (or Ctrl-K or simply -K-
|
|
followed by a RETURN) to see what's in

the section.

The file area works almost identically
|
|
to the message area. Once you learn
|
|
the message area, you'll already have
|
|
a very good idea about how to use the
|
|
file area. The file area is one of
|
|
the best features of Carina II. It
|
|
puts CompuServe to shame.
|
|
|
|
The header displays quite a few things
|
|
about the file: The file name, it's
|
|
size, who uploaded it (and when), how
|
|
many people have downloaded it, a
|
|
brief description about the file (used
|
|
when doing a directory in 80 columns
|
|
-- this brief file description comes
|
|
in handy), and key-words that can be
|
|
used to help locate specific files (by
|
|
searching for key-words). You also
|
|
have 4 -k file descriptions (up to 4
|
|
k). From the -Command [?]=Menu: -
|
|
prompt you can do the following things
|
|
that you (of course) cant do in the
|
|
message area:
|
|
|
|
[D]ownload this file
|
|
[V]iew the contents of an ARCed file
|
|
|
|
And if you are using a batch protocol
|
|
(like Y-modem Batch or C-modem), you
|
|
can even mark files and download them
|
|
all at once! (can't do that on
|
|
CompuServe, Oasis! or Express! Pro for
|
|
that matter - hehe).
|
|
|
|
Command : Directory
|
|
|
|
You can also search for files (or even
|
|
messages) by date if you'd like. As
|
|
precise as to the second:

Let me tell you about access (since I
|
|
reminded myself). There are no access
|
|
levels per-se anymore... You either
|
|
have access to do something or you
|
|
don't. You either can use a command
|
|
or you can't. And with sections there
|
|
are 4 different levels of access. No
|
|
access, read-only access, full access,
|
|
or SysOp access. The read-only access
|
|
is good if you are running a D&D type
|
|
adventure sig. This way you can let
|
|
everyone see what's happening, but
|
|
only your players can participate.
|
|
|
|
Time limit is also independant of
|
|
access level now. With this setup,
|
|
there are 3.169 times 10 to the 29th
|
|
different combinations of access levels!
|
|
|
|
Here is a example of the formula:
|
|
|
|
(2^32*~)*(4^26)*(255)
|
|
|
|
the answer is:> 4.9517601 ~E27
|
|
|
|
On-line time is independant... You can
|
|
assign a user anywhere from no tim
|
|
(quite useless) to 255 minutes (i.e.
|
|
4+ hours).

Ok.. One neat thing about Carina II
|
|
is that I have a status window that I
|
|
can toggle from non-existant, to 5
|
|
-line, to full-page. When in the full
|
|
-page mode, I get a cursor and I can
|
|
edit your status (even while you are
|
|
still using the BBS. You won't even
|
|
notice I'm doing it)... Let me give
|
|
you some SysOp access so I can
|
|
demonstrate some of the SysOp features
|
|
to you.

Well, this is the Atari section. It's
|
|
mainly to be used for 8-bit
|
|
discussions and files. Any Public
|
|
Domain Atari 8-bit files can be placed
|
|
in this section, but if they would fit
|
|
better in another SIG then put them
|
|
there first. This is more of a
|
|
General Atari Sig. Let's get some
|
|
discussions going here. I know there's
|
|
not much to talk about, but I'm sure
|
|
you guys can think of something to
|
|
say! Also, check out the voting topics
|
|
and give us an idea about yourself!

This is the latest version of my Top
|
|
Ten Lister for Carina 1.0 Line 1100 is
|
|
where it looks for the Password.Fle,
|
|
so you will probably have to change
|
|
the drive number. Line 2000 is where
|
|
the list gets saved, so you might want
|
|
to change that also.

Pretty neat eh?
|
|
|
|
One thing you will notice when first
|
|
logging onto a Carina II BBS is that,
|
|
unlike Carina 1, Carina II is very
|
|
fast. Because it is SpartaDos-only,
|
|
an enourmous speed increase was
|
|
possible. Carina II consists of 19
|
|
modules! (not 5 like Carina 1), as you
|
|
can see, VERY powerful. It is also
|
|
easier to use than Carina 1 (with the
|
|
single letter input and all).
|
|
|
|
However, the power of the system was
|
|
in no way sacraficed for this. You
|
|
still have the ability to program
|
|
on-line, go to SpartaDos on-line, and
|
|
even run different programs!

|
|

The program is basically completed...
|
|
I'm working on the manual right now.
|
|
It should be out by the end of April!
|
|
It will be available for $65.00 to
|
|
non-Carina 1 owners. Carina 1 owners
|
|
can subtract $10.00 and if they sent
|
|
in their registration card they can
|
|
subtract another $10.00.
