If you are running Windows 3.1 it is very likely that you are encountering
the hidden swap file, spart.386 (or some such name).  It's huge, but harmless.

For example if I have listed certain steps I need to take to reach
a goal in my first draft and subsequently find other steps that need

Maybe I need a simple project management type application but I have
never seen one to know if they are suitable.

If you are not thoroughly confused by this request (reading back I think

any replies appreciated

One of the best sites for msdos games I've found is ftp.ulowell.edu.
Go to /msdos/Games and there are several shareware company directories
listed.  IMHO some of the Apogee games are quite good as well as a few
under the Misc directory.

If you're looking for games for windows, try wuarchive.wustl.edu under

A simpler approach is to use -Gt at compile time.  This places all data
objects larger than 256 bytes in their own segment, instead of the
default data segment.

By default (i.e. without -Gt) only data objects larger than 32k get their
own segment.  All of this is described in Quick Help, with quite a bit
of detail...

Is it a "trick" question? You can buy some kind of extra added service from Ma
Bell that will buzz/click/light a light/-- something -- to let you know that
you have an incoming call while you're already talking to someone. What's the
name of the service -- Callus Interuptus, or some such ??? :-) Seems like a
neat idea to me if a modem could sense such a signal and flash a message
on one's screen. 'Coure it would take some designing to make a modem that
could do this.

Some applications (notably those that use the PharLap DOS extender) barf on
finding EMM386.SYS with the NOEMS option invoked.  For release 11 of
AutoCad under DOS 5.0 you have a choice of either not using EMM386.SYS at
all (meaning no UMBs to stuff drivers into) or making sure that plenty of
emulated expanded memory is available.  In other words, it is a pain to put
AutoCad and Windows 3.0 on the same system and have them both make optimum

There are ET4000 drivers on hobbes.nmsu.edu, but they are really crapy. The
colors are really messed up. Everything has a green tinge to it. And they
are SO slow, and have major problems re-updating the screen. This is one of
the contributing reasons why I de-installed OS/2 from my machine. From what
I have seen this operating system has almost NO support from third party
vendors. If you get everything from IBM you are ok, but don't even try to
get anything from another company, it'll be a pain to get it to work. That,
and the problem that the user interface to OS/2 is totally non-consistant
and makes no sense. 

Anybody want to buy a used copy of OS/2 2.0? :-)

Organization: Studenten-Mail, Rechenzentrum Universitaet des Saarlandes

It really depends on what you're doing. If you run applications that use
EMS or you want to have an UMB (upper memory bank, located between graphics
card and BIOS), you'll need EMM386 (or QEMM386 5.0, I strongly suggest).
If you run programs that make use of XMS only, HIMEM.SYS will do fine.

There is another point on memory managers: they put the processor in the
virtual V86 mode. This means: the processor emulates an 8086 with extended
instruction set. It's really an emulation: interrupts don't work. EMM386
and QEMM solve this by emulating the interrupts, too, so they really are
software-called by the manager if HE (the manager, god of your system)
is triggered by one himself.

All those emulations slow down your system. Performance can decrease by
10 percent or so...

BTW: some programs don't work with the V86 mode. E.g. DKBtrace, Windows
(except for win /r), ...

In the PC-DOS5.00 User's Guide and Reference, under the commands
reference section for DEVICEHIGH (chap14, p452) under the Notes
under Installing Instaling HIMEM.SYS and a UMB provider, it states:
"Before you can load a device driver into the upper memory area, you
must use the device command once to install the HIMEM.SYS device
driver and then again to install an UMB provider. ... On some
computers, you might even be able touse HIMEM.SYS itself as a UMB

This lead me to think it meant to load HIMEM.SYS twice, but of course,
it didn't work. I heard that I need something like QRAM or Move'em
to provide such (UMB) services. Is there anything public domain to

Hi folks !

I've written a C++ programm, (compiled about 150k), which uses
much of floating point calculations ('+', '-', '*', '/', '<' '>',...)
I use both Borland C++ compilers (Version 2 and 3), with the same
result:
When I run the program, everythink is just fine, but when all
is done (at the end of "main()"), it just "hang" the system
(I have a 386 board, without 387) with the following message:

   floating point error: stack fault
   memory allocation error, unable to load COMMAND.COM
   system stoped

So I tried the program on a 486, under nearly the same contitions
-> NO PROBLEM, now I believe, there must be a problem, under some
conditions, with the Borland FPU-emulation-library. I ordered a
387 for my home system today, but thats not realy a solution ...

Any idea ?

	I don't really think that there is a way that anyone can say with 
certainty which compatible is really the best.  There are alot out there that 
are just as reliable as one another.  I'm sure that if you ask about specific 
names, people on the net would be more than willing to contribute their 
experiences.

	As for the Packard-Bell, my friend has a 486sx-20.  It seems just fine.  
He hjasn't had any problems, so I really couldn't tell you about user support.  
The only thing I would caution about is the choice of monitor it comes with.  
His really sucks.  I don't know offhand what model it is, but the dpi is 
probably around .39 or .51.  My no-name monitor is much crisper than his.(Anyone 
heard of 'ACE" not Acer?).
