I do not know if this will fill all your requirements, but you could
try
   3841 Feb 2 1989 garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/keyboard/256keys.zip

It worked satisfactoryly on my MsDos 5.0 486 at office when I
recently tested it.

Yes, you are exactly right.  One further piece of information.  Our
main archive format at Garbo is .zip and many .zip files come with
the -AV security label.  Whenever possible I prefer to have the
original, so that the possible -AV label is still intact. 

Of course the -AV label can be hacked, as has been much discussed in
comp.compression.  But if the material comes from the original
author, the risks are much smaller. 

Keith and I have been asked about making the proper distribution
version of Telix available.  Patience, gentle readers, patience
please.  We have both been terribly busy with all sorts of
administrative bureucracy and strife (both expected and unexpected)
that running newly passed newsgroups inevitably seems to cause. 

   All the best, Timo

You might want to try hell diver. It's a window-based mail/newsreader

Hello John,

This is of general interest, so I'll take the liberty of posting
your report and my reply to comp.archives.msdos.d.  It seems that
what you probably have here is a .zip file that has been packed with
PKZIP 1.93A or its Unix equivalent by Info-ZIP programming group.
Thus it is a problem with the version, not a problem with the case
of the file names.  The thing to do is to get a compatible extractor
and those are available as
  37211 Aug 30 22:17 garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/arcers/unzip50.exe
 301326 Nov 23 11:38 garbo.uwasa.fi:/unix/arcers/unzip50.tar.Z

Incidentally, for the time being SIMTEL20 and Garbo do not accept
version 1.93A zip files.  All the uploads must be for version 1.10.

   All the best, Timo

IBM has a product called PCSIM which is an option for the RS/6000.  It sells

The kb buffer program I use is called visitype.  I got it from a diskette
that PC Magazine (?) was giving away with subscriptions.  Visitype works
like any other KB buffer except that when the screen is in text mode
the buffer is displayed on the top line of the screen.  When I run
WordPerfect or an editor, however, the buffer is not displayed.  It seems
to always know when I want to see the typeahead buffer and when I don't.

It could, in fact, be either.  Anyway, these two causes togeter
account for, must be, 99% of the reports of allegedly corrupt
packages we archive site moderators tend to get. 

Yes, there have also been cases of genuine corrupted packages, but
that it very, very rare.  I still recall that the last true case of
a corrupted entity came from Samuel Ko (who saw us through the vote)
concerning a Garbo file some two to three months ago. 

In sum, the user should first carefully check his/her PKZIP version
and transfer modes both between the FTP -> host and host -> PC. 
There is quite a number of errors that is thus possible for the user
to make.

   All the best, Timo

Hi, I am looking for a utility that can extend my kb buffer for my 286 
running msdos5.

I perfer it can correct the kb buffer bug that (msdos or ibm ?) has, namly
control-c, control-s and control-q cannot be flushed to the head of the buffer
if the buffer is not empty.

**If anyone know where can I find such a util, please let me know.



I tried a utility (kbfix2) which is very very good. It suppose to do every thing
that I mentioned above + other neat feathers. I got everything working but
for strange reason, I cannot get the ctrl-c, ctrl-s and ctrl-q flushed to 
the head. According to the doc it is supposed to work. 
I suspect it might the bios chip (286) is not compatible. 

**If anyone know what's wrong with kbfix, please let me know.

Thanks!

No, I believe that what Timo is trying to say is that he insures that the
files that are distributed from his site are:

	1.  Free from viruses and the like.
	2.  Legally suppossed to be there.

Thus, he won't allow software that hasn't been checked out to be distributed.

Now, keep in mind that the /pub/MSDOS_UPLOADS directory is never checked.
Does this make it bad?  No, of course not, but this now places the entire
burden of checking out the software on you.

Good luck...
