> What if you had two programs with the same name?
|
|
I don't get it. How could I? I moved ALL my executable utilties
|
|
down to a \sys\bin\unused, then move 'em back as I need 'em.
|
|
matter of fact I wrote a little "I.bat" that looks first for a .COM,
|
|
then a .EXE, then a .BAT, and if finding one, moves it back from
|
|
.unused to \sys\bin.
|
|
You say your solution is to use 4DOS's description function -
|
|
my problem isn't that I don't know what they are - it is that it
|
|
would be a big process to sort thru 300 executable programs trying to
|
|
decide which you really use. With my trick, if you try to use it,
|
|
you have to "bring it back" from the .\unused directory.
|
|
Actually, I have MEGABYTES to clean up on another system - but
|
|
it is not a matter of not knowing what it is, it is a matter of
|
|
trying to decide what to keep. I have a large neough hard disk that
|
|
I've become a pack rat - I have Turbo C, 1.0, 20, Turbo C+, Borland
|
|
C+, etc. Actually, the only one I use it Turbo C 2.0, so I'm
|
|
wondering if I should just "Blow the others away". But then again
|
|
might be nice to keep 'em around in case I "grow" into C+.

|
|
|
|
I meant, "what if you have two files of the same name and you
|
|
move them (sequentially) to your \sys\bin\unused? For example, what if y
|
|
had, in different directories, d.com (a GIF file viewer) and d.com
|
|
(a replacement for DIR)?" The problem would occur in moving files
|
|
to your 'unused' directory, since the second would overwrite the
|
|
first, etc.
|
|
|
|
Of course, you may not have this problem! I load many executables
|
|
via ALIASES, and the aiases sometimes have names different from the
|
|
commands themselves. In some cases, the directories don't have
|
|
to be on the path (e.g., for graphics stuff), so I may end up
|
|
with multiple executable files that share a name.
|
|
|
|
In any event, MERRY CHRISTMAS, Ward!

|
to ALL re: LASERJET 4M
|
|
|
|
The Laserjet 4M was in fact held up due to an enginnering hold. The
|
|
person who I spoke to at HP was wrong on all fronts: The hold was due
|
|
to HP's desire to get postscript on a single simm thereby giving the
|
|
printer 3 open simm slots. The prototype unit used 2 simm slots.
|
|
On the truetype font side: Truetype fonts are scalable; therefore
|
|
downloadable intot he printer, and the built in ones are also scalable
|
|
(It took some time, but I answered my own questions).
|
|
|
|
Hope this might help somone else!

to ALL re: LINE NOISE FIXED./MA BELL
|
|
|
|
I received a present from Ma bell on Thursay. They left a message on
|
|
my answering machine telling me that they had fixed the problem with
|
|
my 545/777 connections. There was a problem with the return trunk to
|
|
Highland PArk via the Kedzie (and/or possibly another location)
|
|
switching station.
|
|
I have had 100% error free connections since then. Within 1 week
|
|
of asking for a supervisor with each location (HP and Buffalo Grove) I
|
|
was able to get an answer other than "we found no problem" and actually
|
|
get it fixed.
|
|
If anyone else was having line noise problem and its clear now
|
|
you were probably feeding back through the above mentioned station. What
|
|
nailed the problem down was that any call I made to a 545 or 777 prefix
|
|
modem was a bad line.

Sorry, you left no msg. Please try again. Leave a msg for ALL or

press enter on a blank line to go to the edit sub-menu, from which you

can re-type lines, or do a char substitution (/old/new/ type) fixes, etc.

Please don't ask me to call. I don't return calls very often.

P.S. I've never used CP/M-86, but did of course use a LOT of CP/M-80,

Ward, you mention that you use aliases. Are you using 4DOS? If
|
|
so, I have a neat .BTM file that sets up the DeskJet.if you're
|
|
interested.

to WARD re: MODEM PROBLEMS
|
|
|
|
Ward, have been having problems getting into CBBS recently. Last night
|
|
and again today. Not Compuserve, Ward Board, NOWAR.just CBBS. Seems
|
|
to answer OK then either never sync up, or the link is actually made but
|
|
the parameters aren't right. Changing the comm parameters on my end
|
|
interactively doesn't seem to help. I get garbage at 2400, 1200, 8, 7,
|
|
1, none, odd, even, etc. (I always come in at 2400, 8, 1, & none) Tonight
|
|
I got in without problems, but when I called back to leave this message
|
|
I had trouble. Could be my modem, but seems isolated to CBBS??!

to ALL re: MSC 7.0 & IBM C SET/2
|
|
|
|
Any body have a handy converter to allow easy correlation of MSC 7.0
|
|
window functions to C Set/2? I'm looking for some kind of cross reference
|
|
between the two from hard copy. Migrating seems to be pretty mysterious
|
|
some times. Has such a document ever come to light? On a related topic,
|
|
anybody had any fun chasing undeclared extern's that pop into the error
|
|
log for C Set/2 compiles/links of migrated code that you thought would
|
|
compile without a hitch?
|
|
dup. chars.
