Nope.  I do it a couple times a week.  Of course, there's the
term-type GeoComm crashes (or GeoCripples.  Once GEOS didn't crash
with a custom term type -- it just got verrrry  slooooow.)  BTW, even
with comments taken out, my HP termcap file doesn't work.  Bummer.

Then there was the time I decided to fiddle with the interrupt
settings for the serial ports to try to fool GEOS into using my
Ethernet board (which Lan Workplace had configured to look like a COM
port).  GEOS didn't recognize the new setting, and it locked up every
time I activated GeoComm or the Modem button in Preferences.

Another time I tried making GEOS swap to my RAM disk instead of
\GEOWORKS\SYSTEM\SWAP (or whatever the usual swap file is).  I don't
think I've ever heard a floppy drive make that kind of noise before.

Crashing GEOS is about the only way I can learn stuff since no one
I know has any hard info on GEOS internals (except John, who isn't
allowed to tell us much :-).

PS, does *anyone* know of a way to make GeoComm use a TCP/IP
connection instead of a COM port?  A patch for SERIAL.GEO to make it
work through the BIOS maybe?  My serial connection at work is going
away this weekend, and I'd like to continue using GEOS for telecom
stuff.

The pen-top GW is not what I want at the present, but I am glad that GW is
working on it.  I can see how GW could be easily adapted to work with a
pen.  Hopefully, we will see pen-tops in the future which will be fully
and easily integrated with our desktop computers.  For myself, a pen-top
about the size of a notebook (traditional, not computer) would be
extremely handy if I could take class notes on it and then transfer the
notes into my desktop system, where I could easily manipulate the
information in GeoWrite.  I doubt it will happen before I graduate (or
that I would be able to afford it), altho' at the rate I'm going I could
be wrong.  Can one retire immediately after graduation and collect social
security? Oh well...

Date: Wed, 6 Jan 1993 22:03:30 GMT

After posting questions here, signing up with AOL and asking questions
there and even more fiddling, I have figured out some things, but not
others.

My BocaRAM/AT card has 2MB and it's sitting in a Packard Bell 10MHz AT
clone, running MS-DOS 5.0 and PCGEOS 1.2 (Pro edition).  I used to have
the extra memory configured for EMM 4.0 and assumed a bus speed of 10MHz,
since the manual didn't tell me and I couldn't figure out how to find
out.  The BR/AT configuration program could figure out the CPU speed, but
not the bus speed.

I did two things, so far.  1) slow down the bus speed to 8MHz and I am
used the memory as extended (XMS) rather than expanded (EMM).  So far, so
good, but I miss the "zippiness" I had when the memory was expanded.
However, I don't miss the data errors I was getting.  Of course ;-) I did
reconfigure PCGEOS for this and thought I had it configured properly
before.  Oh well.

The quickstart is not GeoWorks Pro w/o Quattro Pro SE. I saw the
package at an Electronic Boutique store in the mall and started
scanning the package. The quickstarts are productivity packages. They
are selling the geomanager with a subset of the applications. I think
that they dropped all the games, notepad, geocomm and appliances. The
user then had a shell with geowrite and maybe geodraw. Go to a S/W
store and scan the shelfs.

Somewhere on internet (probably in the Simtel archives) I got a bunch
of drdos tips.  The file was something like drdostip.zip.  In it is a
bit about working with Geoworks.  

It says "Any version of GeoWorks prior to 1.2 will not work under DR
DOS 6."

That seems pretty explicit.  I recommend upgrading to GeoWorks Pro.
It interacts very well with DR DOS.

I use DR-DOS 6 with 10Net.  (I no longer use SSTOR.)  PC/GEOS refuses to
run when I share my C:  drive, where PC/GEOS is installed.  It halts
during the boot sequence (I forget exactly where.)  If I unshare my C:
drive, PC/GEOS runs fine.  Are you able to run PC/GEOS (not just the
setup program) from a shared drive?

The argument is not about pricing.  It is about support.  What originally
was asked for was an Internet-based support system.

Suppose the Internet users who are not currently getting support
because AOL is too expensive began using AOL anyway.  Geoworks' labor
costs would increase and the end-users connection costs increase.

Now suppose Geoworks began accepting emailed requests for help.
Geoworks' labor costs would increase and the end-users connection costs
would stay the same.

Which scenario is better for all concerned?

What is expensive is the labor cost in solving problems, not the channel
from which these requests for help originate.  Geoworks keeps its support
costs down by selecting a channel that is expensive for the end-user.
All this does ultimately is to keep Geos from being more fully utilized.

Now Geoworks may be in a position where it must keep support costs
down in this manner.  Fine. But let's be honest about it.

So what if it is cheaper?  It is apparently not cheap enough for some.
That is what is under discussion.

GeoWorks has created the GOC superset of Standard (ISO/ANSI) C for use
under GEOS.  I would say it's similar to Objective-C much more than it's
similar to (Gack!) C++.

You can build a paralell port DAC very cheeply with some resistors. (PP DACs
are like the COVOX sound system, and compatable with it).  There are are a
couple of designs arround, and some even let you tack on a 'printer thru' port. 
With a 'speaker amp' type setup, you can get excellent digitized sound from
them.  For the designs for these, look in the comp.ibm.pc.soundcard FAQ (I
think)

Best thing would be to have the sound as a replacable driver ( I like drivers
as those who have read other posts of mine may guess :-) ) That way anything
anyone cares to write will work anywhere.

I picked up the Geoworks Pro upgrade Minus the Quatro Pro SE a while back
as an upgrade to v1.2 because it ran with the DRDos Taskmanager taskmax.

Do it if you run DRDOS.  It's worth the money.

My spreadsheet works real well with Geoworks Pro - it's Quatro Pro v2.0
and the Geoworks viewer and stuff don't know it's not Qpro SE...

Huh?  Free hours of time on AOL?

Oh, here we go... it's in the manual-which-I-never-read. :)

		Membership	First 3 hours	Each additional hour
Month 1		$0		$0		$5 offpeak/$10 peak
Month 2+	$9.95		$0		$5 offpeak/$10 peak

And, of course, you need a check-thingie or a credit-thingie... which is
pretty improbable for folks like me who barely scrape together $15/month
for the cost of a phone line... :)

I used to be on QuantumLink (until they totally f*cked up the "checkfree"
billing for my family's account), and I really do like the look of AOL's
interface, and all that, but it's just plain beyond my financial reach, no
two ways about it.

Maybe everyone from comp.os.msdos.pcgeos (or at least the non-lurkers ;)
should be made a GeoRep so that using AOL wouldn't cost...  I mean, hey - 
you give me a free account somewhere, I'll answer as many questions as you
can throw my way.  (I field lots of questions on pilot, even though I'm
just a plain ol' user)

Who should I call about getting a GeoRep appointment?  AOL?  Geoworks?  My
senator? ;)

I think that's 'cos bounce just runs in what CPU is available.  Getting the
CPU to go to 100% is easy - one bounce process should do that.  After that, 
each bounce process gets (100/number-of-bounce-processes) percent.

If the product entered Beta in September (as we have heard), the beta period
could easily be 3 months, and just as easily could be 6 months.  So, it could
be out next week, or it could be out in April.  Or the entire GeoWorks staff
could have been captured by aliens on New Year's Eve... ;)

My hope is that at one of the upcoming computer shows, Macrosoft will be
demoing NT (with as many UAE's as 3.1 had when they tried to amaze people with
it at shows), and Geoworks will steal their thunder by showing off (and giving
out working demos FREE) GEOS 2.0, without any errors. :)

Hi folks,

	I am using an SGI indigo r3000 as a vxworks host
(Iris 4D1-4.1) with cc (v3.10)  and VxGDB to debug software (v1.1).  
The following problems occur when I load a file into the debugger:

if the source code has a "struct" in it :
	unknown symbol type 1a 
if the source code has a "union" in it:
	unknown symbol type 1b

The vxworks tech support mentions that these messages come from the GNU
gdb kernel which they use, and mentioned that these problems do not occur
with atleast version 2.0 of the cc compiler.

has anyone had this problem and solved it? is all I need an older version
of the C compiler?
