This is EXACTLY what Pack does ( with out the condition, of course!) - you
MUST have exclusive use of the database to pack and you must have exclusive
use here to erase the file and rename...  Pack, too, simply copies all non-
deleted records to a temp file, deletes the old, and renames the temp to
the original filename....  Yes, pack requires the same amount of space - that's
why it takes so long on large files to "remove" only a few records...

Hi all,
I just got version 1.5 of dBASE IV.  I am having one problem with it.  In
the manual it says to use -t, /t, -T, or /T to suppress the sign on screen,
as in the following format.

dbase -t progname

I have tried it each different way and I still get the same thing as I do
without the switch.(a screen with my name, company name, serial #, and
copyright stuff)

could some kind soul tell me what I am doing wrong, or does this thing not
work as advertised on page 16-2  of the "PROGRAMMING IN dBASE IV" manual.

Folks, folks, folks...The beauty of Clipper 5.01 is the abundance of 
advanced features such as code blocks, browse objects, and database 
functions. This PRG sample is Clipper 5.01 ONLY because you can compile 
it with the 5.01 compiler (well, the #include is 5.01)...

It's important to see the value of Clipper's new features, for the same 
reason that Fox 2.0's features are utilized. 

As a Clipper consultant, I must recommend that 5.01 users, especially 
new users, learn and make use of database functions, code blocks, and 
objects now, and not let yourselves be limited by the standard xBase 
subset of commands.

Subject:      Printing with ps2/95

Since upgrading vines 4.11(5) on to a ps2/95,  the HP3si
printer attached to the parallel port refuses to print.
wang support has been working on this problem for about
three weeks now and still does not have a fix.

the logs say "monitor locked after 5 attempts".
the job shows up in the print queue labeled as printing
but does not come out.

the printer is configured in the add card console menu.
the parellel port options off the reference disk have been
reset many times to different variations suggested by wang
but to no avail.  When I boot the system off a dos disk I
can printscreen without a problem.  I've also tried different
cables and different printers.  I've also removed the key and
connected the printer directly thinking that the key might be
screwed up but no, that didn't help either.

Help!  what is the trick to this?

Subject:      StreetTalk Error 1001?

I have a strange situation on a new LAN in which every workstation has a
local laser printer.  In addition there are no printers off of the server,
and no PC PRINT situations.  Therefore, no SETPRINTs in the profiles.  Everyone
seems to be getting the "pink bar" message "StreetTalk Error 1001" from time
to time when trying to print.  A reboot corrects the problem for a while, and
then it seems to recurr.  It occurrs with straight DOS prints and in other
software programs.  In WordPerfect, I have set the option "Print to Hardware
Port" to yes and that appears to handle things in WordPerfect.  Any ideas on
what I can do to correct the problem?

What exactly is slowing down?
How have you got the groups distributed across servers?
How much other load is on the servers?

The number of users you have is not overly excessive, the 500 in DH@AID will
be making MUSER work a bit hard when it starts, it takes a fair while for the
VnsListStNames call to return 500 entries.  Single point accesses should not
be a problem, ST is designed to cope with mega networks.

Some time ago I tested ST performance with quite large number of entries,
many thousands, and I generally found performance obeyed a N*log(N) type rule
within a group for most applications (ie Login, Muser username, Addrbook,
...). I found as expected enumerations within one group to be faster than
across multiple groups ie *@group@org versus *xxx@*yyy@org but not by much
when all the groups involved (in the *yyy@org) where on the same server.

>I have suggested more groups, but everyone, including me, like the names we

I think having more but smaller groups would only help by virtue of making
*@group@org enumeration return less data.

As far as the ST database engine is concernerd ORG's don't exist.  Internally
groups are treated as a single entity "Group@Org", the Org part is just a
logical concept for us poor Humans.  When setting ARL's only "weak" templates
are permited, ie only *@group@org, *@*@org or *@*@*.  Thus a bit of latteral
thinking could provide a bit of increased flexability.

Has anyone ever put an Adaptec 1542B in a Systempro to run the tape drive?
 I have this thing working but on boot up with BIOS enabled on the card,
it sees the card, wants to boot off of SCSI LUN 0,0, then I have to press
F1 for it to boot VINES off the disk.
If I leave a backup tape in the tape drive, it will boot up without any
operator intervention.

If I disable the BIOS on the 1542, the system never boots up.  Is this the
way it is supposed to work?

Paul,
        We are still at 4.10(5) and we replaced the "/f" in the
output suffix with "/EE". This is is the HP soft reset code. It kicks out
pages at the endof a job where ther is still data in the printer's menory, but
the buffer is not yet full. Yet it will not add a blank page after every job.
It also re-sets the printer to power-on defaults; so if some cretin left the
printer set for compressed and landscape your next job from a non-driver
oriented program (Banyan Mail, for instance) will print normally.

I heard a rumor that the Pentium will not be completely binary
compatible with the 386/486.  Has anyone else heard this?  Will the
new chip run PC software out of the box or are these 'compatibility
issues' merely additional instructions (like it was for the 386 -> 486 
transition)?

Patricia,
        First, out of respect for Intel there no 80586.  It is called Pentium.
With that said, I sure someone at Westboro has a preproduction working using
Vines or SCO Vines.  Since no one is shipping a Pentium based computer, I would
not worried about for 6-12 months.  Besides the prices for Pentium based
computers will be high for the first few months, but the 486DX and 486DX2
prices should take another tumble or two while the Pentium Computers become
economical.  Also, Intel is making a follow-on to the 486DX/DX2 CPU's.  You
should has seen reports about a P24T.  According to the trade rags, it should
give most of the Pentium's speed without buying a new computer.

I have experienced the following:

                           Ethernet Backbone
A SERVER w/
MAC option <------------------------------------------------
Server C              |             |   ______
                     ----           |  |      |
                     |M1|        --------     |
                     ----        |server|     |
                      ^          |  A   |     |
                      |          --------     |       ---
                    My MAC       DTS 4.00 (2) |-------|M2|
                                              |       ---
                                           --------
                                           |server|
                                           |   B  |
                                           --------
                                          Intel 302 5.00 (5)

My ST and MS are on server B.  We don't have MAC option on server A or B.
When I connected my MAC II si directly on the backbone (same segment as the
server C with MAC option and MAC mail).  I could map to server C's Z: drive
and use MAC Mail.  If I connect my MAC as M2, I could not even login.  This
is expected because server A and B both DOES NOT have MAC option installed.
Well, I'm responsible for only server A and B, and this is all I know about
MAC option.  BTW, don't ask about the poor DTS!  Server B should have been
on the spot of server A since it is suppose to be faster.  I think I will
have the people who resposible for communication rewire this.  I heard that one
 more rev this DTS is DEAD!

Can it be just a print server?  Or we can't not have it on the net anymore?
Well, this bring me to a question I have.  Banyan guy told me that having to
manny rev on the net (backbone) is no good.  We have 5 I guess (4.00 (2) to
5.00 (6))!  My server B went down quite a bit (10 times) in the last 2
months.  Banyan guy dialed in 4 times now but have not had a clue what
caused it to happened.  (What happened is that VS or sometimes ST went down
or stopped by itself!)  The other server on the other end of that ethernet
backbone went down a few times too (VS).  Does anyone would like to take a
short at this one?  BTW, first we thought it was memory shortage, so we
upgraded the memory and we are now not overloading the server.

Macs can only see the file and print services of servers that have the
Mac option.  The servers with the Mac option effectively become Appleshare
servers and publish ONLY their own file services and PAP print services.

So if you only want to access the resources of only one server you only
need one option.  If more then you need more Mac options.

StreetTalk is still global, but only user whose ST is on a rev 5 server
may logon at a Mac (some extra hook needed I guess).  Mac users can access
the mail service on any server.  There are compatability issues with pre-
IMS (5.00(6)) mail services (6K limit etc).
