to WARD re: READING MESSAGES
|
|
|
|
I have not called you BBS much and f*though ~rI would like to, the
|
|
one thing which bugs me though is not being able to continually read
|
|
messages starting from some given message number. Is that possible? Doing
|
|
some tinkering it seems that one would have to use an "o;1" and write down
|
|
the message numbers of interest. In my case my communications program does
|
|
have a scroll back buffer. It would still be nice to read messages one
|
|
after the other.

to ALL re: SOFTWARE CAROUSEL?
|
|
|
|
Anyone else using Software Carousel? I'm having problems trying to
|
|
figure out what programs to load in my autoexec, and which to load in
|
|
"each partition".
|
|
The main programs I want are: CED, CTRLALT, and STACKEY. CED seems to
|
|
have taken over the low level keyboard I/O, so the "switch partition"
|
|
hot key doesn't work until I press enter, if I'm at the DOS prompt (which
|
|
actually isn't too bad).
|
|
What kind of partitions do you set up? A couple small ones for DIR and
|
|
things like that? One with your favorite DOS directory tree program
|
|
resident? A BIG one for commo programs which might shell to DOS, etc?
|
|
Thanks!

to ED FOSTER re: MANUAL
|
|
|
|
My manual is now perfect bound for a couple of very good reasons. I used
|
|
to have 2 saddle stiched manuals that totaled about 62 pages. They cost
|
|
$3.25 per set to be printed. The perfect bound manual (1 for all 62 pages)
|
|
looks MUCH more professional and the cost- $0.68 each! Saddle stiched m
|
|
manuals work well up to 50 - 60 pages, but are expensive to make (labor).
|
|
Perfect bound manuals must have a minimum of 64 pages, and are cheap to
|
|
make. (Minimum quantity 1000, at least 64 pages, and pages must move up in
|
|
increments of 16.) To get my programs stocked on dealer shelves they want
|
|
nice packaging, professional looking manuals, etc. Now I qualify.
|
|
No dup. chars.

OK. Use the (P)rompt bell command (just type P) to turn off the bell.
|
|
Then type the U command to update your profile to say you don't want it.
|
|
Then, when you log on, log on as:

(no "sysop" here, I'm "Ward").
|
|
Well, I just am not that familiar with the boards - but check out the
|
|
msgs starting at 42053. It is a list of Chicago area bbs's. Maybe one
|
|
of the names will sound like something appropriate. I just don't know
|
|
where to go for a "C" programming related BBS.
|
|
P.S. sorry your 42203 disappeared - an assistant operator must have
|
|
zapped it - for being "too cutesie", or having borders, lines of -'s,
|
|
lots of space-and-time-wasting centering, or "something". We like simple
|
|
"net" messages.

I am thinking of getting the Sota 386 accelerator board for a Compaq Deskpro.
|
|
this is the original 8086 Deskpro and most of the accelerator cards don't work
|
|
with the 8086 processor. Has anyone else added the 286 or 386 board
|
|
from Sota - - they are a new kid on the block, and just started shipping.

|
|
|
Has anyone any idea about how to patch WS4 to get the ^QT command to
|
|
delete UP TO the specified character instead of deleting up to AND
|
|
INCLUDING the specified character. I often find that the last character
|
|
that I want deleted is not unique to the string but the NEXT character that
|
|
I don't want deleted usually is. VDE works the way I'd like WS to work:
|
|
you press ^QT and then the delete goes from the cursor position UP TO the
|
|
next occurence of the specified character.

David,
|
|
I've never worked on S/36's. My experience is on IBM 4341's
|
|
DEC, and DG mini's, and IBM PCs, XTs, ATs, PS/2s and clones. I've
|
|
worked with COBOL, Assembler, BASIC, Quick BASIC, some C, FoxBase. The
|
|
last couple of projects I put together linked the micros to the mainframe
|
|
with Tempus Link.
|
|
Anyway, all that is the long way of saying that I haven't worked
|
|
with S/36s or RPG (unfair assumption?). I pick things up quickly,
|
|
but I'm not sure I would find RPG too attractive. Any suggestions?

I don't recall your message to which Ward replied, but if you're looking
|
|
for a BBS with a 'C' emphasis and don't mind an East Coast call, I recall
|
|
reading about one such board (which even puts out an interesting
|
|
newsletter on 'C'). I don't off-hand recall all the specifics, but they're
|
|
readily available in a file on a BBS I run (contact info below) in a file
|
|
called CNEWSLTR.LBR, found in the C0: directory. (After exiting the
|
|
message base, type 'GO C0:' or 'GO NEW' to get there. If unfamiliar with
|
|
BBSes running under CP/M, you probably first should type 'HELP' after
|
|
exiting the msg base program to learn about LDIR and TYPE commands as they
|
|
relate to '.LBR' files-somewhat like '.ARC' files, but with different
|
|
syntax requirements.).I've also heard about a 'programmers' BBS' located
|
|
in the western Chicago suburbs which reportedly has healthy 'C'
|
|
discussions. Someone here may be able to provide you with name and/or
|
|
phone number. (If not, I'm sure someone on my BBS can help, as that's
|
|
how I first heard of it.) Good luck.

|
|
|
|
This is even a dumb question for me! I am getting a 386 loaded
|
|
so am including a 3 1/2 drive. What is the difference between
|
|
the SS/DD, DS/DD, DS/HD disks? I am looking at MEIs flyer and
|
|
can only assume I would want the DS/DD 3 1/2 in disks. Any
|
|
explainations about this detail on THSE disks.

dup. chars.
