OK, ya, I should have some time. Could you tell me what you are trying
|

to do, i.e. if -I- were programming to YOUR design, what would you tell
|
|
me you wanted? I just feel that by "looking" at a PageMaker file, with

the idea of learning much, might be like looking at glass and trying to

see the sand, or looking at a packaged chip and trying to see the silicon.

CMS-401 MIDI Card
|
|
|
|
I realize that this is a lot of stuff here, but my problem is getting
|
|
the MIDI card to work properly. It seems that there is a conflict
|
|
with several of the IRQs in my system.
|
|
The default and normal setting of the MIDI card is IRQ2,
|
|
but it won't cooperate with my VGA card (I'm assuming)
|
|
I tried it at IRQ3 and IRQ4, but that lets me out of COM ports
|
|
I tried IRQ5 and IRQ6, one just locked up the computer, the other
|
|
gave me a disk controller error. I have it set as IRQ7, which is for
|
|
the printer. This is fine for now, since I'm out of paper. But If I try
|
|
to print anything.lock up city. My VGA card IRQ can't be changed, I loo
|
|
looked into that. Any ideas????

to JIM POLOUS re: R/IRQ/MIDI PROBLEMS
|
|
|
|
It looks like you're out of luck unless you can get your MIDI card to
|
|
generate one of the extra interrupts available on an AT bus (forget
|
|
about it if it's an 8-bit card. IRQ 2 is the ONLY one that could even
|
|
be available, unless you want to share it with one of the COM port
|
|
interrupts (shouldn't create a conflict if you aren't using that COM
|
|
port and the MIDI card at the same time).

to ALL re: DOSSHELL 4.01 ENVIRONMENT
|
|
|
|
{IBMDOS 4.0 with UR65066 installed.
|
|
Has anybody noticed that when you use the "SHIFT-F9 DOS Prompt" facility
|
|
of DOSSHELL that only the CURRENT SIZE of the Environment is allocated
|
|
to the new process ? In otherwords it seems the /E:XXXX parm on the
|
|
config.sys SHELL= is not propigated via this mechanism.
|
|
This results in the infamous 'Out of Environment Space' when running BAT
|
|
files that try to SET Environment variables. This makes the "SHIFT-F9"
|
|
somewhat less useful in my estimation.
|
|
It there a way to pass the equivalent of the /E:XXXX to the child
|
|
process when invoking "SHIFT-F9" ??
|
|
f*I've created a workaround by adding my own DOS SHELL Option to the menu
|
|
system where I invoke COMMAND /E:XXXX myself and it works ok but it
|
|
takes of a valuable menu slot.
|
|
Does this sound like a BUG maybe I discovered a FEATURE ?
|
|
BTW this is a IBMDOS 4.01 installation I have no idea if it applies to
|
|
MSDOS.
|
|
Thanks in advance,

to RICHARD GOZDAL re: R/ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM
|
|
|
|
Richard: sorry to hear that 4.01 was such a chunbk of cash. Good luck
|
|
with
|
|
MS, but I have doubts about their willingness to patch SHELL, much less
|
|
fess up to their MAJOR error! Here's an interesting little story
|
|
about mfr. arrogance: our software (SYGRAPH) uses the GSS device
|
|
driver set for graphics, and we determined fairly early on that there
|
|
was a bug in COMPAQ dos version 3.1 releases A and B which prevented
|
|
the drivers from working. COMPAQ steadfastly maintained that it was
|
|
not a bug, yet fixed it in 3.1 release C! One of our users called
|
|
up with the standard difficulties (hung system); he had release B. We
|
|
told him that COMPAQ should replace it with a newer version free, but
|
|
COMPAQ refused to replace it free, quite arrogantly telling him that
|
|
he would have to shell out $70 for version 3.2!
|
|
I tell you this not to discourage you but to encourage a healthy
|
|
skepticism about big software conglomerates! And I think you SHOULD
|
|
push for a patch/fix! I'll keep fingers crossed for you

to ALL re: 386 UNIX INFO?
|
|
|
|
Dear folks:
|
|
I'm looking for info on different 386 based UNIX systems which also
|
|
n DOS programs as tasks (e.g. VP/ix, UNIX w/ DOSmerge 386, etc.)
|
|
cifically, I'd like info. on your experiences w/ such systems, and
|
|
ur recommendations as to which version of pc UNIX you like best.
|
|
The reason for all this is that I'm going to be upgrading to UNIX,
|
|
d would like to be able to run a couple of my old DOS programs which
|
|
ve no UNIX equivalents (e.g. SYSTAT).
|
|
What I need in a UNIX system is DOS task capability, Xwindows,
|
|
plications development environment with C and FORTRAN compiler/linker,
|
|
xt editing such as vi, and VGA graphics capabilities. Other utilities
|
|
h as AWK would be nice too.
|
|
Thanks in advance for your help!
