Use keystack to start Procomm dialing into your school, then let
Procomm's script language handle the rest.  It has all the bells and
whistles you need, including attaching the script to a directory entry
so that the script executes automatically when you connect.

		Hello Hardware gurus and programmers:

			I am attempting to write a small routine which can be
executed on any pc that returns information on the resident network card (type
mem. cap. etc.)  (assembly/c routine).. My problem is that I am unsure of which
interrupts the card takes over when it is installed, whether or not these inter-
rupts are from the dos vector table or directly from the cpu, and how they can
be used to access card info.  If anyone has the time I would very much appreciate
 any information that could be provided.  I will send anyone that responds a copy
of the final program which does a series of hardware checks and verifications
on the pc, including nice output (not that anyone responding would need this,
but what the heck..)   If there are any ideas could you please e-mail them.

IPX.COM consists of two pieces: 

  * One passes data between a standardized internal interface and the 
    higher-level stack members (usually NETX).  Part of this piece is
    IPX.OBJ and is provided by Novell (and distributed in this case by
    Microsoft), and

  * One passes data between the bare metal or maybe a specialized device
    driver and the same standardized internal interface.  It is usually
    provided by the network interface card vendor.

To build an IPX.COM file you need the WSGEN or SHELLGEN programs which are
part of the NetWare administrator's package, plus the hardware-specific
interface file and the latest version of IPX.OBJ.

The idea behind packaging the new IPX.OBJ with Windows 3.1 is that it
ensures that any NetWare site will have a copy of the 3.1-compatible
code; in theory some user will give the NetWare sysadmin a copy of the
new object file and will eventually get back a new IPX.COM.

The Rumor Mill (tm) reports that the Windows 3.1 Resource Kit will include
a utility which will allow end users to update their own copies of IPX.COM
with a new IPX.OBJ without requiring the sysadmin's support.  Even if 
the utility exists and works, I would prefer that all users on my net
be using an IPX whose ancestry I can trace.

Incidentally, if you haven't noticed you also have a new version 3.26 of
NETX.COM loaded in your Windows 3.1 system.  There's an undocumented
option in Windows SETUP for NetWare users which diffrentiates between
NETX versions {3.21, 3.26} and higher.

Having said all of the above, I should also note that I've had little
trouble running Windows 3.1 (beta or retail) using IPX version 3.02 
and NETX version 3.22...which doesn't mean that there is no reason to
install the current versions, because there may be major glitches just
waiting for me to encounter them.

Also, if you loaded Windows 3.1 *without* specifying that NetWare would be
used, the IPX and NETX files probably weren't copied from the distribution
disks, so don't get scared if you don't see the files on your hard disk.

Hey !  If you don't really want to switch to a new environment you can buy OS2
Version 2.0 for $79can if you own Windows 3.0, $99can if you own DOS, or
$199can if you are a new user.  If you are a DOS or WINDOWS user, you send the
title page from your manual. This will prove to IBM that you own a legitimate
copy of the software.

With OS2, you will be able to run any DOS, Windows, OS2-16 bit and OS2-32 bit
applications without any problem. You will have to make sure you have a
compatible BIOS ROM installed in your machine.

Does anybody know where I can find a copy of a public domain CHMOD program.

The program, of course, acts like it's UNIX cousin, changing the protection

I used to have this program, but somehow, it's disappeared.

Any help is appreciated.

I've had some success with vt52 in terms of using vi, but it
does not work will with "screen".  

I've tried the vt100 emulation in GeoComm.  For some strange 
reason, it does not want to clear the display, even when I
type "clear".  The vt52 emulation handles this ok.  

If anyone does come out with a "fixed" termcap, please post it here.

I can't say what GeoWorks policy will be on the upgrade to v2.0, but I'd
like to relate to you my own experience.  I recently bought a sealed copy 
of the orginal (v1.0) of GeoWorks Ensemble at a Flea Market for $40.  I
figured that I had gotten a good deal.  But then I realized that it wasn't
current, and was missing some features that I wanted and the current rev
had.  GeoWorks had two upgrades they offered.  The more expensive ($49)
would bring me up to GeoWorks Pro complete with Borland's Quattro Pro.
The less expensive ($29) had everything but Quattro Pro, and this is what
I went with.  Now that I'm a registered user, I expect that the v2.0
upgrade will continue to be resonable, probably about $50 or so.

Best wishes,

It's my fault.  I was trying to keep comp.os.* pure.  None of the other
newsgroups at that level require an underlying OS like MSDOS, and so
it seemed appropriate for PC/GEOS to be placed at the comp.os.msdos.* level.

Now it seems that the proposed comp.windows.ms reorganization will (if passed)
result in comp.os.ms-windows.  So much for being a purist!

Check the FAQ.  :-)

The Nimbus Font Converter that comes in the Extras folder with v1.2 and
later is for converting URW fonts into the GeoWorks Nimbus font format.  If
you give it anything besides that it will ignore them (e.g. PS Type 1,
etc.).  It is *not* a general purpose font carousel.

I think the problem may be the systems people are using it on. I myself use
vi on a digital unix system, and I don't have any problems with the vt100
emulation. The various VMS editors have some problems, but I think that may be
VMS or the editors. It could be i'm not having problems b/c I'm on a digital
system so therefore the vt100 is handled "properly". A solution you might try
is to set your terminal type at login to dumb/generic, thus possibly avoiding
some special-cases that may be messing things up.

How about a BBS program that will run from inside the GEOS environment?
TCP/IP sounds like a wonderful idea for GEOS!  But I agree, Geoworks

Also, a good offline mail reader would be nice.  I'm sure all these

This, of course, totally depends on you're definition of 'freestanding OS'.
I certainly classify DOS as a (simple) OS, MS-Windows as a DOS add-on,
OpenLook as an alternative work environment for SunOS, and PC/GEOS as a
mainstream OS.  :-)
