I could not get dsz to work from our ultrix system to my pc at all till
last night. I fixed it by switching from using qmodems internal zmodem
to dsz external zmodem, and I added the -e switch to the unix sz
command. This cleared everything up, but I still cannot upload at
9600 to unix, I get flow errors, I can upload at 2400 using the -e 
switch at the pc end. Does anyone know how to make dsz control flow
a little bit better? I've tried all the handskake options and also the
-w switch. 

thanks.

Check to see if SuperStor has an option to only compress part of your
drive and allow you to access the uncompressed part as C:.  I would
think this would be a better option than reformatting your drive.  I
would keep more then 10 MB uncompressed, though.

Don't know -- I've never used SuperStor.  However, I use Stacker
(which I suspect is similar), and I recommend you keep all the files
you need to boot on the uncompressed part of the drive (all the
drivers for things loaded in your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS).  That
way, even if your compressed drive gets hosed you can still boot.
What I suspect SuperStor is doing by default is to compress almost
your whole disk, keep just a few files on the uncompressed part of the
drive, and then 'swap' the uncompressed 'C:' drive out and the
'compressed' drive in as C:.  Stacker has an option to do this, and I
hate it.  You're better off keeping the uncompressed part of your
drive as C: and keeping all the files needed to boot there.  That way
there are no synchronization problems and you'll be able to boot your
machine even if the compressed volume gets screwed up.

Yes and yes.  As far as everything but 'speed disk' sorts of
compacters are concerned, I would think the SuperStor drive would look
just like a regular drive.  I know this is true for Stacker and assume
the same applies to SuperStor.

	I recently wrote an invoice program in C for my parents, who have
an old computer with 640k and that's it.  The program worked fine on mine
running DOS5.0 but gets an error on theirs running DOS 2 or 3.*.  I'll leave
my C questions for the proper news group, but I wanted to know if you can
run DOS5.0 with no hard drive and just 640k memory.  My program opens files
and it gets the "Error opening drive" when run.  Like I said it works fine
on mine. And I'm hoping it's the version of Dos they're using.

Any help appreciated.

I can't help you, Tom.  I'm struggling writing my own scripts,
trying to figure out the Procomm script language from scripts
included with my copy of Procomm that came with my Zoom modem.

Anyone know where I can get a manual ?  (The Zoom instructions
leave much to be desired).  Is there a file that came with the
program that would have the instructions that could be printed ?

Hello,

Does anyone know of any program that will display Tiff files taken from a

Specifically, I believe the tiff's in question have been LZW compressed.
(Is it possible to have a jpeg'ed tiff?) 

I'm not very well informed on image formats, so any help would be appreciated.

  If you are looking for clones of UNIX commands for MS-DOS, then I can
strongly recommend the MKS Toolkit of Mortice Kern Systems. If you are
used to work on a UNIX system, then you will "feel at home" on a MS-DOS
system with the MKS Toolkit (ksh, vi and all/most other UNIX commands
you can think of).

  For your particular purpose, copy the whole content of a diskette to a
file (and back), you can, as Klaus Hartnegg said, use Klaus' program
Disk-RW, or buy DR DOS 6.0 which includes many, many utilities,
including a DISKCOPY (and DISKCOMP) which can do what you want.

I have a paper by H. Bergen and W. Caelli which details the file protection
system used in WP version 5.0 and lower, and wrote the program last night.
The paper has appeared in both s.crypt and c.o.m.apps and contains notes
on the triviality of the code. Knowing nothing about cryptography I am 
unable to do much with the changed coding scheme in the new WP 5.1.
But the encryption has changed so the methods given do not work.

Does anyone have either the new encryption method or a program that can
decrypt the new system?


For those who have some idea of the 5.0 stuff here are the main changes
I can see:

Byte 8 can be either 00 or 01, presumably a version indicator.

Bytes 12 and 13 still provide a checksum, but byte 13 can be 00 for a
non- one letter key, where before it couldn't. This gives a wrong solution
using the old algorithm.

The key is case-sensitive, but the checksum does not change, instead the
file length is basically doubled. Either case of key will decode the file.

Thanks you anyopne who can help

Picture this:  it's been a long day, and in my late night stupor, 
I still need to get ready to teach a course the next day.  I pull
the disk I used last semester, and bring up my brand new copy
of PCTOOLs V8, to do a disk copy.  Put the source disk in, get some
pretty characters changing as the data is read.  Put the target 
disk in, and immediately get a message about a CRC error.

Stop, try formatting the disk, using both PCTOOLS and DOS format.
No go, everything locks up.  So I say to myself, "must be a bad
disk, mumble, mumble, and get a new one.  Same result.  Had I been
awake, I would have stopped here, but of course, I get another disk
from a different package, and try again, and now have three,
apparently permanently, destroyed HD disks.  Finally it occurs to
me to check my source disk, when I discover that it is fine, but it
IS a DD disk.  Apparently, PCTOOLS happily tried to copy a DD to a
HD with no warning message, and destroyed the HD in the process.

I'm willing to accept the cost of three floppies as payment for my
stupidity, but I do have a few questions you all might be able to 
help with:

1)  What exactly happened?

2)  Isn't this somewhat user-hostile behavior for an expensive tool
	supposed to make my life easier?

3)  Is there a way to recover these disks?  None of the tools I have,
	including diskfix, etc, would touch them.

4)  Why do I always wait till the last minute to do this stuff?

Peace,

I wasn't impressed at all, and I configured it to use a 5 MB cache file
located on a 10 MB RAM drive.  It also conflicts with 386MAX in a way
that kept Windows from running, and since I need 386MAX and Windows, CD
Speedway got tossed.  You're better off getting a faster CD-ROM.

For me it was a waste of $70.  Your mileage may vary..

	Hello all,
I don't really know if this is where to ask this, as I usually read and use 
Windows apps only, but I'll take the plunge. I just put together a computer
father, nothin fancy (286-12), but not using Windows on this beast, we picked 
up a used copy of Microsoft Word v 5.5 (price was right). The only problem, 
was the original owner installed from original disks without making a backup,
and his name is plastered on the opening screen. I looked at the disks dirs, 
and found on disk 1 "Word55.inf" which might hold this info, and also on disk
3 "setup.ini" which has a different date (more recent), like maybe when it was
originally installed. Might anyone have any idea of how to change these files
to change the owners name? I know such files exist for 123, and older versions
of Word, but have not seen anything on boards for recent versions. I suppose 
there is always the possibility of getting a new replacement disk from Micro-
soft through disk replacement(showing transfer of course).

There used to be a bunch of emulators available, and some machines

With a 386 you can just do it with included dos device drivers.

 My friend had initial contact with Vertical Market, and was waiting for

	Vertical Market Inc.
	39 Robertson Rd., Suite 238
	Nepean, Ontario
	K2H 8R2

Anyone having any information about this company, or the current copyright

Titlemaster, please contact me at burgett@mv.us.adobe.com, so I can pass the

Yes. That is one of the strengths of Geoworks. The screen may not look
