I know two ways:
 - If your are running any network and the HP is configured as a network printer,
   terminate the printjob after the first page and switch to the second feeder with
   a new print job.
 - replace FF by the change feeder command.

I personally thing -I got this problem 3 days ago- the HP causes a seperate FF while switching
to the second feeder, if SOMETHING must be printed on the actual page.

  I don't think that your program would have overriden ANSI, but you may check
to see if you have installed ANSI.SYS on your system.  That drove me crazy for
awhile until I discovered that I never loaded it so the system didn't
understand it.  Good luck.

I've seen a few postings over the past few days requesting info on how to
program the PC's DMA and interrupt hardware.  A good book to check out (in
fact the only book I've found so far) is Lewis Eggebrecht's "Interfacing to
the IBM Personal Computer".  It is a SAMS book, ISBN 0-672-22722-3, costs
about $25.00.  Be sure to get the second edition as it covers the AT and
PS/2 lines as well as the XT.

Should anyone know of other sources, please post to this newsgroup.  I
believe that the info would be of general interest.

As an interesting sidenote, I believe that Eggebrecht is now head of
engineering at Commodore-Amiga.

Hello netters,
	I have been working on supporting the Soundblaster card without
the Soundblaster Developer's Kit. I know that IRQ's 0-7 are attached
to the software interrupts 08 - 0F (hex). I also know that IRQ 10 is
dependent on IRQ 2. Are there software interrupt locations for IRQ's 8+?
Or do I have to do some detection through the IRQ 2 interrupt to know that
the interrupt is actually an IRQ 10 interrupt? Any help would be greatly
appreciated!

B.C. 3.0 with Application Frameworks is what you mean.  But, all of the
tools and interfaces (Windows and Dos) are for use with C++ not C.
I use BC's TURBO VISION, the Dos interface, and it is fairly good, but
a little hard to use. I do not know about any of their other tools since
I have never used them.

There are many PD/SHAREWARE tools out there. Check Simtel20 or one of
its mirrors wuarchive, etc..  One different place that I have found to
get some fairly good tools is from editors with good interfaces.  These
contain some form of menus, inputs lines, mouse, etc., and also has tools
like advanced string function, doubly and singly linked lists, stacks,
finite state machine functions, and some even have disk swapping 
algorithms.

Have fun, there is a lot of sources out there, but you also have
to sift through the junk!

BC 3.0 has such a package as an optiion. The name of the option escapes me
at the moment, but if look on the biggest BC 3.x box in the store or call
them up, I'm sure you can find it. I have the product at home, but have not
used it. You have been a user of the package if you have used the IDE or

I think I've heard it's not especially small, but I'm not sure about that.

I've done this before.  Again it requires patching your COMMAND.COM.  Using
DEBUG, search for the string AUTOEXEC.BAT and replace it with your own batch
file, something like TEMPEXEC.BAT.  Write and quit DEBUG.
Next create your file.  Something like this:

     @ECHO OFF
     ...
     your stuff goes here.
     ...
     \AUTOEXEC

Now hide the file using ATTRIB TEMPEXEC.BAT +h

He should have a hard time finding your changes.

Have fun

Thanks to everyone who helped with my last question (disable dos). I
had a great time with my friend. I disabled copy, del, dir, etc. I ren
a lot of the external commands and replaced all these with a file a 
wrote that displayed random messages like, "Error!", "Bad command or
file name." etc. My friend got truely frustrated. It was great. (Of
course I fixed his system once I'd had my fun (and won the bet)).

I have another question: Where are good places to put things you want
called every time the computer is turned on? Autoexec is kinda obvious.
Command.com is going to be the first place he'll look (same friend, no
bet this time). I was thinking of msdos.sys, but I have no idea how to
add something to it. I realize this is complex, so mayby you could just
direct me to a book. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

Subject: problem with fcb-findfirst
Date: 16 Nov 92 11:32:10 CST
Organization: University of Kansas Academic Computing Services


Hi!

I am exploring how DOS works, and especially the file-functions. The
problem is that my reference ("The programmer's PC source book" by
Thom Hogan) seems to contain an error, but I am not sure about this.

When I use interrupt 21h fn 11h (find first file with fcb - I know
that fcb's are outdated, but eg. DIR still uses fcbs) the book says
that the DTA is filled with the drive # and a DIRENTRY structure.

This doesn't seem to be the case, because the first byte of the DTA
after calling fn 11h is 0ffh, which could mean that the DTA is filled
with an extended fcb-structure (opened or unopened?). But I am not sure
about this, also because you also have to supply an unopened fcb (with
ds:dx pointing to it) to this function. 

Does anybody know what the DTA is filled with after a call to int 21h
function 11h?

Thanks in advance for any reply.

There are more optimizations available in 3.x.  Also, it's now 386
only code, and will generate 386 specific code.  They even gave a shot
at register passing, however, it doesn't work as it should and isn't
worth touting.

If I had fuel delivery problems would'ent I notice stumbling or maybe
burndown at top end. I've never had these problems. The problem I
described is more of a visual annoyance than anything else. I just
wonder if the filter is half empty at idle it must be completely
empty at WOT (wide open throttle).
Never the less - I'll check. Thanks for the response.
