I am running a DOS application which requests extended memory.   It
terminates promptly with an error message :

"0 KB of extended memory is available, but 706K is required."

I have been able to run  other DOS/Windows 3.X applications on the 
machine without trouble.

My machine config is:
	July Release of NT on MIPS ARC R4000PC 
	64Meg RAM.  (so I am not out of ram).

config.sys has:

device=c:\winnt\system\himem.sys


So am I missing something something trivial?  Is the EMS support on
NT similar to  that of  DOS shell in  Windows 3.1 (x86 PC)?

thanks in advance,

-anoosh

Hello everyone,

As someone wiht no access to compuserv i'd linke to know
if it is possible to access NT bug fixes over internet?

My problem is to get the driver for the WD8003E Ethernet
card (wdplus.sys I think) over the Internet, or can someone
mail it to me?

Thanks in advance,

I ordered mine by mail, August 5.  I assume it takes several weeks, but just

Yes, but using the DOS2NT method. You can't access the CD ROM
drive in Windows NT for now, as there is no driver (yet.)

I have no direct knowledge of this whatsoever, but in the hallowed traditions 
of USENET am willing to share my deep insights.
You gotta figure that Novell's survival depends on NT's failure.
That is why they are putting NetWare onto Unix, under the name of UnixWare.
This will be the Clash of the Titans. Novell OWNS the server market. MS OWNS
the OS market. Someone's going to get hurt.
I'll bet that Novell is busy porting NetWare to NT as a contingency plan,
but would never publicly admit that, as it would undermine their marketing
position.

Really difficult problem. A alternative ways to share data between 32 bit apps

FYI, ^D signifies End Of File (or End Of Job) in many, but not all,
PostScript interpreters.  (I *believe* this is part of the
specification, but I could be wrong.  It's been a while.)  Yet,
several software packages insist on inserting them at the *beginning*
of PostScript files.  Go figure.  This alone would certainly explain
the inconsistent results.

	Hope this helps,

I am posting a preliminary copy of a NT FAQ for comments/feedback/input. I
have attempted to give credit where due, and gather as much info as possible,
and still keep it concise. Let me know what you think.

Remember the Windows NT FAQ is not yet in Beta!  The Windows NT FAQ is a
"Preliminary" release, intended for development a better FAQ. My focus has
been on the Windows NT Kernel and Win32 API.  The Windows NT FAQ does not
include POSIX support and I have not not yet had an opportunity to complete
testing of the 16-bit Windows and MS-DOS applications support.  Therefore,
the Windows NT FAQ is not appropriate for Beta test and evaluation.

There will be a very broad Beta program in the early fall that is intended
for end-users.  This release will include full support for MS-DOS, 16-bit 
Windows and POSIX applications.  Further information about the FAQ beta
program will be posted to comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32 when it becomes
available.

I expect ftp & nfs daemons, and uucp & nntp and more to be available in both
commerical and shareware versions - but I don't expec that people will
"telnet" or "rsh" into Windows NT so often. Windows NT doesnt implement
multi-user interactive access - so while a daemon could be written to respond
to the telnet protocol, and even re-direct stdin & stdout, the graphics
apps won't be remoted, and not all of the console APIs make any sense
with this paradigm. The multi-user security could be bolted "in" using
the standard security APIs, but I doubt if many of the main commercial
apps would work well in this environment.

However, someone could port a "terminal" handling service to Windows NT,
and better a BBS system, which could respond to the telnet protocol. I'm
not sure if this is what you're trying to achieve though -- Alistair

     Huh?  Ideally, you want to spend as little time as possible online,

     Both ATO and OzCIS can do this (I don't know about TAPCIS, though).

     OzCIS can do this, too.  OzCIS can also download and manage
databases containing lists of available files for downloading (doing
this efficiently -- for the least amount of $$$ -- is somewhat tricky,
however).

     The big advantage of ATO and OzCIS is that they are *FREE*.  They
are not shareware or commercial programs (at least, in case of OzCIS,
not yet), as are TAPCIS and CIM (I believe).  Of the two, OzCIS is much
more powerful (has lots of features), but ATO is easier to use (for
computer novices).

I suppose this is obvious to most of those concerned, but the
FORTRAN to C converter "f2c" is freely available in source form,
and works quite well.  I don't know whether it compiles under NT
without modification, but since it's been ported to a number of
Unixes, I expect it'd port reasonably quickly to NT.

It's available at many FTP sites as "f2c".

   The CD-ROM offer of a CD Technology CD-ROM that came with the Windows NT
package offers a parallel port host adaptor as one of the SCSI host adaptors.

   Is this combination supported under Windows NT or just under DOS ? 

I suspect the parallel port adaptor is a Trantor product remarketed by
CD Technology - reviews I have read indicate that CD Technology does remarket
this device.

   Will any of the Windows NT supported SCSI host adaptors fit in a half-height
8-bit slot ?

Subject: Problems installing NT (from Netware 3.11)
Date: 3 Sep 92 13:15:13 GMT
Organization: Computer Power Software


As a late enroller to the Windows World developers conference in Sydney
I missed out on the actual software.  After working over one of the officials
I managed to get hold of the disks from an incomplete kit.  I received none
of the supporting documentation.

It is my understanding from what was said at the conference that NT can be 
loaded from a CD rom drive mounted in a Novell Netware host.  The default
installation gives no indication of how this might be achieved.
