to BRENT JONES re: R/PRODIGY WARNING
|
|
|
|
There apparently is a program (TSR, not TRS!) that will redirect to
|
|
disk. I've yet to actually find it, since Prodigy lacks file xfer...
|
|
I'm surprised people haven't thought of putting hex in messages that
|
|
they could un-hex into an arc file or something ;-)
|
|
Last night I nearly powered off in the middle of a Prodigy session.
|
|
I feel its user interface for the EXPERIENCED user (or the novice
|
|
user the tenth time) is really, well, lets see, to avoid my own censorship,
|
|
I'll just say "chicken excrement" ;-)
|
|
I think the time will come when I feel I can't take it any more.
|
|
Example. to send a msg, there's no simple "get out of message entry
|
|
key". OK, you hit "end" and then have to cursor over to "save", at{which
|
|
time it - treating you like the worlds stupidest person - says "you asked
|
|
to save, do you want to" (essentially), then the accursed thing tells you
|
|
how to get back to the original msg (instead of TAKING YOU THERE). I've
|
|
started typing <enter><enter><enter> but the @#$% prodigy throws away
|
|
buffered keystrokes. Chicken excrement! I think I'll just reply to all
|
|
my msgs "sorry, I can't take this any more, I'm leaving, probably won't
|
|
be back ever".

Hi Jim;
|
|
|
|
Hmm... You reply about Prodigy is interesting! But it still
|
|
sounds like the software is the same as PC-LINK or Q-LINK in
|
|
nature. Both cost $9.95 a month and some features are free too.
|
|
But you did state that all Prodigy features are fr{e. But lacks
|
|
file directories. Sounds like all other national networks have
|
|
Prodigy on that one. Having local phone numbers doesn't sound
|
|
like news to me? CIS has one of the best coverage I have seen.
|
|
Perhaps you know that and still say Prodigy has a lot more.
|
|
|
|
You did mention some features that other national networks lack,
|
|
but then you stated that they are also not available in this
|
|
area? So lets see, we have a flat $9.95 monthly charge which is
|
|
nice and better software than Q-LINK or PC-LINK are which is also
|
|
a big plus. But the other features sounds like no major gain
|
|
kOotherwise. Perhaps I am missing something!
|
|
|
|
Also I need to know what Prodigy needs to run on? Will a Sharp
|
|
Laptop with 256K be okay? It will be expanded to 640K, but I am
|
|
just asking.

to ALL re: DIFF BETWEEN LPT1 AND LPT1:
|
|
|
|
In a previous entry (about 20 messages ago) I ran across a discussion
|
|
of the differences between lpt1: and lpt1 in relation to a network.
|
|
This has been on my mind lately. I thought all device names in MS-DOS
|
|
included a colon -- com1: prn: lpt1: A: C: etc. Yet I have a shell
|
|
program (Polytron PolyShell) that won't send a file to the printer if
|
|
I call it prn: but WILL if I call it prn Is the shell brain dead,
|
|
or am I? Is there a difference? DOS itself doesn't seem to care
|
|
either way, oddly enough. I really think it should! Could someone
|
|
set me straight on this trivial (albeit puzzling) detail?

I thought in the beginning that you had to use the ":" at the end of
|
|
a device name too. But I have since found out like you that sometimes
|
|
it doesn't matter. To write a short ASCII file for .BAT file or something.
|
|
I use "COPY CON FILENAME.EXT" and it works everytime.
|
|
|
|
Perhaps we get this idea from using CP/M computers as if I remember right,
|
|
you have to use the ":" or the DOS treats it as a file instead of a device.
|
|
I am assuming that you have used CP/M computers before!

Bill, I think you're right. we may not be talking aboutsame thing
|

GEOS to me is from Berkley softworks and runs on Apple II and C-64/128

hardware. your mention of Wordstar tells me your talking about a different

product that runs on PC's

The book indicates that you need 512K RAM.. By local numbers, I mean
|
|
REALLY local. In order to call Compuserve, Delphi, PC-Link, I have
|
|
to call out of my 8 mile radius and rack up the phone bill. I can
|
|
stay on Prodigy as long as I want/need.f*
