|
|
to RICHARD HINTON re: R/SETTING COLOR FROM DOS
|
|
|
|
Dos does not in and of itself generate colos. You need to rely on
|
|
ANSI.SYS to do the colors for you.
|
|
Do the following.
|
|
- place "device=ansi.sys" in your config.sys. If you are "well organized"
|
|
you won't want to put it in your root directory, but rather put it in some
|
|
directory, such as \dos. Then the line would be:
|
|
device=c:\dos\ansi.sys
|
|
Then, in your autoexec.bat file, you will have a prompt command that
|
|
includes some color changes.
|
|
The syntax of the color changes which ANSI.SYS handles is:
|
|
- esc
|
|
- [
|
|
- foreground color in the form of 3x, where x goes from 0 to 7
|
|
- the following optional background setting:
|
|
- ; to separate the background from the foreground color
|
|
- background color in the form of 4x again x being from 0 to 7.
|
|
- m The letter "m" is what tells ANSI.SYS what the preceeding
|
|
numbers are.
|
|
So, for example, I like "brown" (it is "amber" on my screen) so I use:
|
|
33 as my color. Experiment. 0 is black (30 black foreground, 40 black
|
|
background). I forget what the others are. You can experiment.
|
|
To cause the escape to be sent to ansi.sys, use the prompt command, which
|
|
allows "substituting" an esc by typing a dollar sign then an e: $e.
|
|
Try this:
|
|
prompt $e[44;37m$p$e[40m$g$e[33m
|
|
The 44 is blue, 37 is white, so this is white on blue, then the $p is
|
|
the path (so my "d:\yam\cis" shows up white on blue). NOTE that I didn't
|
|
have to put the 3x then 4x, 4x then 3x is OK.; Then, the 40 resets the
|
|
background color to black, and 33 sets the foreground to "brown".
|
|
Good luck.

|
to COLIN SCHROEDER re: R/80X87 SPEED/ RATED/ACTUAL
|
|
|
|
80x87 chips run at rated, actual speed. What differs is the speed at which
|
|
a particular system clocks them.
|
|
When IBM first came out with the 6mhz AT, there weren't 6mhz 80287 chips
|
|
available. Instead, 4 was. SO, IBM took the 12mhz crystal and divided it
|
|
by 2 for the main system clock, and by 3 for the 80287.
|
|
IBM needless to say took a bit of flak on that - in that the PC could
|
|
actually run some math faster (at 4.77mhz) than the AT. SO, when IBM
|
|
developed the PS/2 line, it was decided that math co-processors would work
|
|
AT the system speed. Thus even the 20mhz model 70 or 80 uses a 20mhz
|
|
crystal.
|
|
I bought a 10mhz AST Premium machine, and wrongly thought that it would
|
|
use a 10mhz math co-processor, so I bought one. It turned out that
|
|
it clocked the chip at 8mhz, so I had wasted my money by buying one that
|
|
was TOO fast, but generally you can clock things SLOWER than they were
|
|
designed for, with no problem.
|
|
So, like all devices, you should not clock them past their rated speed,
|
|
and the info you got on '87 chips probably related to something like my
|
|
machine, i.e. you might have thought "an 8mhz 80287 is 'good enough' for
|
|
a 10mhz processor", while in fact it is "the 10mhz machine clocks the
|
|
80287 at 8mhz and thus an 8mhz '87 is fast enough".
|
|
At least that's how I see it.

|
|

Sounds like your "pub" file would do very nicely as one of the two kinds I
|
|
seek. The print copy can be sent to me at: Advocate Enterprises Ltd.,
|
|
899 S. Plymouth #504, Chi 60605. (If any questions, daytime voice: 939.3300.)
|
|
As for the file, whatever's most convenient for you is fine (assuming it's
|
|
not TOO large; I'm running at 2400 bps). D/L from here, or via disk.
|
|
|
|
The other file I'd like to obtain, from you or elsewhere-and preferably
|
|
with hardcopy too-would be one which is as <absolutely> simple as possible,
|
|
i.e., w/out font changes, no graphics/shadings/etc.
|
|
|
|
Thanx for whatever you're able to provide. If there are any out-of-pocket
|
|
costs for which you want reimbursement, lemme know.

some of you are calling it the Deskjet 2) I have seen it at Elek-Tek and

it is just awesome! It is 2 times faster in Text and 5 times faster in

graphics than the first Deskjet! It is a great printer.You can get them

at Elek Tek now.I have great connections, so I'm getting it for $109

with a 50 dollar rebate also! It is a hot printer and I highly recommend

it!
