48 of advice are in order...those who attribute certain negative aspects
|

49 to others, especially in gross generali-zations; i.e. 'women's dislike of
|

50 themselves' often do so to deny certain inner feelings. look deep within
|

51 yourselve. examine your emotions towards women and towards yourself.
|

52 remember and ponder on the words of confucius: 'a superior man has self-

53 respect, and does not strive; is sociable, yet no party man...the superior

|

60 in the kingdom of valinor during the reign of good king firamar...there
|

61 was a fair maiden named gabrielle...gifted with auburn hair flowing like
|
||
62 a moountain rill and the voice of a nightengale on a midsummer's eve. sweet
|
||
63 gabrielle was betrothed to the youngest prince of the realm and they loved
|
||
64 each other deeply...when morgoth invaded valinor from the east; ungliant, the
|
||
65 giant spider seized gabrielle and carried her to a desolate tor in the
|
||
66 ranges of taras-ness. slowly he suckled the life force from his captive
|
||
67 and devoured her body and soul.
|
||
68 in the passage of time, the good prince happened upon the scene and when he
|
||
69 espied what ungliant had wrought he was filled with the blood rage...
|
||
70 he drew his thundersword (thundersword?) and uttered the famous nicholas
|
||
71 belker warcry:
|
||
72 suck concrete, hairball!!!
|
||
73 and thus did engage the spider in mortal combat. (one may ask, where was
|
||
74 the prince's faithful cur during all this---being no dummy, he stayed on the
|
||
75 sidelines watching the prince getting whacked severely about the head and
|
||
76 shoulders.) finally the prince did vanquish the mighty ungliant in this
|
||
77 lofty aerie...but there was no joy in his victory...for he had received many
|
||
78 grievous wounds and the beautiful
|
||
79 gabrielle was lost forever

134 A wind, a wind has come to stir up the dust, bringing new folk, a noble
|
||
135 people, gentle of voice yet commanding in presence! Their leader is the
|
||
136 dark prince, who captivates our Inn with masterful tales of lands full of
|
||
137 mystery and romance...he weaves a story of injustice, and speaks boldly of
|
||
138 the challenge of righting the wrong...his voice drops low with tenderness,
|
||
139 as he mourns his beloved Gabrielle...he reproves the disrespectful with
|
||
140 wisdom and tact, as befits his royal blood. The Backwater honours such
|
||
141 guests who prove their worth...The lady raises her eyes to his, seeking
|
||
142 words to greet a royal prince, blushing, inexplicably trembling...she parts
|
||
143 her lips as if to speak, but falters, feeling unworthy of his gentle words,
|
||
144 yet wanting to express appreciation for his gentlemanly act of reprimanding
|
||
145 the surly diatriber: "You--you are indeed a prince among princes, sir!"
|
||
146 she finally stammers. "I--I know that you will be warmly greeted by our
|
||
147 venerable Innkeeper, for he is a true gentleman, and has spoken of your
|
||
148 quality and your gift of storytelling. Welcome!"
|
||
149 After a flustered bow to the prince, the girl moves quickly into the
|
||
150 crowd milling about the Inn, smiling to some, brushing past others. She
|
||
151 pauses at the sight of Aaron, who looks a little dejected at a table by
|
||
152 himself. A sad smile touches the corner of her mouth; she slips through
|
||
153 the throng to his side. "Aaron..." with a light touch to his shoulder, "be
|
||
154 careful which direction your humour takes. Your apology was warming, but
|
||
155 your assessment of 'mock indignation' seemed rash...I sense the quality in
|
||
156 you, seeking expression, and I wish that I coul d stay for the time of it's
|
||
157 true blossoming." With a pause, she studies him; a smile twinkles again:
|
||
158 "As for females being different in some nebulous way--Aaron, where would be
|
||
159 the mystery and magic if males and females were alike in thought and deed?"
|
||
160 He opened his mouth to speak, but she was gone, laughter trailing back...
|
||
161 Later, the Innkeeper found a fragile note tacked onto the entrance:
|
||
162
|
||
163 O the wind, do you remember the wind, dear Innkeeper...?
|
||
164 Those golden wings that were caught by the ill-tempered wind
|
||
165 Mikey, it is back, blustering mightily against me--!
|
||
166
|
||
167 And a battered poem he had once heard came back to mind:
|
||
168
|
||
169 From far, from ere and yon
|
||
170 twelve winded sky,
|
||
171 The stuff of life to knit me--
|
||
172 blew hither--here am I.
|
||
173 Now, for a breath I tarry,
|
||
174 nor yet disperse apart.
|
||
175 Take my hand and tell me,
|
||
176 what have you in your heart.
|
||
177 Quick, answer how can I help
|
||
178 you say,
|
||
179 Ere, to the winds Twelve Quarters,
|
||
180 I take my endless Way.

|
||
182 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> d <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
|
||
183 As the Innkeeper raises his head from the table he finds an empty Inn
|
||
184 about him. He thinks back on the day before and cannot be sure if he
|
||
185 he remembers it true. Were the customers truly there, or has he had
|
||
186 but a dream? As he removes the debreis of the nights enjoyment. stepping
|
||
187 outside to breath in the new day. He spies a note lightly tacked to the
|
||
188 door. It is written on a leaf that somehow seems familur. As he reads
|
||
189 the note, a sudden wind comes up and tousles his hair, and with that
|
||
190 wind a familur fragrence of something he has known. As he finishes
|
||
191 reading the note, he now knows the outcome of things past. Quietly he
|
||
192 speaks to the one who is no longer there; "Fair well Milady of Dragons,
|
||
193 May your journey be pleasent and fruitfull." With this he slowly turns
|
||
194 and reenters his Inn to prepare for the new day. But the presence remains,
|
||
195 for as always her presence has left the Inn changed in many subtle ways.
|
||
196 As he continues to prepare the Inn, he hopes that the new found customers
|
||
197 will not abandon the Inn, for without them it would soon refill with the
|
||
198 warriors and guildsmen which while a lively lot, are to often arguing to
|
||
199 the point of damaging the Inn and its customers. the Innkeeper would as
|
||
200 soon not lose his new found customers of quality and royal blood.

201 **** CISTOP MIKEY AWAITING THE NEW DAY **** 12:00PM **** 10 JULY 83 ******
|
||
202 the prince is awestruck by the graceful lady's welcome...but it seems to
|
||
203 be a farewell also...it has struck a melancholy chord in his heart that a
|
||
204 lady of such talent may be leaving the warm fires of this fine establishment.
|
||
205 he wonders to himself whether the beautiful lady is wandering to other realms
|
||
206 or has lost her communication to this land of the backwater...
|
||
207 he is saddened that a little of the magic will be lost here and wonders
|

208 if there is any way he can aid the lady?

251 sent a ^S so I could save it to disk. The system resumed output
|

252 before the save was finished. Could you increase the delay a bit?

253 Or is there a way to get the system to transmit the entire disk

|

258 To: Mike Day Fm: Adam Trent Sj: AMODEM Vindicated
|
||
259 ------ Or An Essay on Debugging till 4AM -------
|
||
260 I decided to find out why I had such erratic problems when using
|
||
261 AMODEM for fast local 9600 baud transfers. I tried your suggested
|
||
262 RCVSOHE change and saw the dramatic speed increase you mentioned.
|
||
263 But that was only when I was able to get the file transfer started.
|
||
264 I still had the symptoms of only being able to get a file transfer
|
||
265 started after I did a reset on the CCS (California Computer Sysstems
|
||
266 Model 2200) and re-entered AMODEM. Short of running a recent listing
|
||
267 (humongous!) and using SID, I tried to shotgun my way to smooth transfers.
|
||
268 I still had this vague notion of a processor speed differential that
|
||
269 may be causing somekind of deadlock during NAK-ACK-handshake. But, I
|
||
270 have learned the error of my ways. Read on.
|
||
271 I tried many possible different combinations of eliminating CALL
|
||
272 GARBAGE--from completely, to selective use of it in, eg, the GETNAK
|
||
273 routine.. I also tried MVI B,x in some logical candidates of CALL RECV.
|
||
274 All to no avail. Boy, was I barking up the wrong tree. After several
|
||
275 hours of trial-and-error debugging (it's not always a cardinal sin),
|
||
276 I decided to THINK and try logic. I stared at the listing for an hour
|
||
277 and began to zero-in on SENDNAK. It then dawned on me that the CCS
|
||
278 might be locking-up on a low-level spinlock in the Modem out routine
|
||
279 (MOUTPUT). But this routine was sacred since I had put it in myself
|
||
280 and it had never done me wrong when hooked to a modem. Now I was in
|
||
281 hot pursuit. I had used the "recommended" serial port output routine
|
||
282 for the CCS-2719 I/O board. In that routine I got rid of a spin-check
|
||
283 for a DCD bit (Data Carrier Detect). That was it. I still don't know
|
||
284 fully how the lockup was happening. My theory is that the recommended
|
||
285 driver code is only good for a DTE rather than a DCE. Since I had
|
||
286 configured the CCS port as a DCE (to match the DTE RS232 of the KAYPRO)
|
||
287 it may not be appropriate to expect a DCD signal from a DTE. (From a
|
||
288 modem, yes; but not from a terminal).
|
||
289 This is the second time I've been bitten by the CCS system: (1) Their
|
||
290 recommended serial driver has the above problem. (2) Their BIOS writer
|
||
291 didn't implement the CP/M SELDSK call properly. To wit, it doesn't
|
||
292 return HL=0 for drive-not-available. This second is apalling. It means
|
||
293 that my nifty routine to determine what drives are available won't work
|
||
294 on the CCS. But I bring this story to a close.
|
||
295 I put all the CALL GARBAGEs back (I did leave your change at RCVSOHE)
|
||
296 and it all appears to run OK--locally at 9600 baud between CCS and
|
||
297 KAYPRO and right now at 300 thru a modem.
|
||
298 Sorry about the false alarm.

340 How is the search going for the Dragon Lady, my dear? She seems to be
|
||
341 a very welcome (well, she has been welcomed by SOME people) customer
|
||
342 to the Inn. It will be hard seeing her go! Looking back on past
|
||
343 conversations, she has really livened up the system! Someone will
|
||
344 have to see to it that the spirit she evoked stays for a long time
|
||
345 to come!!
|
||
346 To: all
|
||
347 To all of you out there that have been listening to the controversy
|
||
348 over the Dragon Lady, what are your thoughts as to the justice of
|
||
349 nicknames? Are you in agreement with MG or DL? Your comments would
|
||
350 be appreciated!

|

353 For you, B.A.D, on individuality:
|
||
354 "
|
||
355 I am an individual, secure in my past, enjoying the present, seeking the future.
|
||
356 I do not choose to be a common man.
|
||
357 It is my right to be uncommon...if I can.
|
||
358 I seek opportunity, not security.
|
||
359 I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the
|
||
360 state look after me.
|
||
361 I want to take the calculated risk, to dream and to build, to fail and
|
||
362 succeed.
|
||
363 I refuse to barter incentive for a dole.
|
||
364 I prefer the challenges of life to a guaranteed existence, and the
|
||
365 thrill of self-fulfillment to the calm of bland status quo.
|
||
366 I will not trade my freedom for beneficence, nor my dignity for a
|
||
367 handout.
|
||
368 I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat.
|
||
369 It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid, and to think
|
||
370 and act for myself, facing the world boldly as the individual that I am."

|

428 while walking through the forest of aragon one warm summer morning;
|
||
429 the prince happens on a small mountain meadow surrounded by towering
|
||
430 trees. he stops for a while to rest and review his memories of the
|
||
431 brief encounter with the fair lady of dragons...one word keeps passing
|
||
432 through his thoughts like a mantra: "maybe..."...finally he rouses himself
|
||
433 and goes in search of his faithful companion who is on a quest of his own
|
||
434 for the elusive forest of aragon fireplug.

454 Ahh, how refreshing it is to step into this cozy Inn and observe
|
||
455 the variety of clientel. Some are just begging for attention, yet
|
||
456 are being ignored. Others are the center of attention. Some are
|
||
457 doomed to never return to the Inn, others will be here ALWAYS.
|
||
458 I do, however, sense an aura of doom surrounding the Inn. There
|
||
459 have been conflicts arising between members of the clientel. Such
|
||
460 is not good to preserve the happy mood of the Inn. Some key
|
||
461 personalities are leaving - and it is now known if they shall ever
|
||
462 return. I sense a regression to ways of the past. So sad....

518 a prince is not supposed to show his emotions. he thinks of

519 friendships that are all too short...and things that could

520 have been and may never be...he calls a silent farewell to

579 TO: ALL WHO ARE CONCERNED ABOUT LINE 305 FM: CISTOP MIKEY
|
||
580 Yes, it is a bug, what is happening is that if the line has 128
|
||
581 characters in it the search commands (FI and FA) get lost and
|
||
582 take the line as a hit. I don't know why, but it does. This bug
|
||
583 has always been in this software. I didn't write it, I don't
|
||
584 know what is causing it, and I am not going to fix it. It is
|
||
585 highly unusual for anyone to enter that many characters in a line
|
||
586 anyway, so there is no real urgent need to fix it anyway.
