Some clarification:
You don't have to buy the whole PC-xxx package from FTP to get the SLIP
drivers. Both the K210 ("Generic" kernel) and K205 (Dedicated SLIP
kernel) include slip drivers. I think these are about 1/2 the price of
the PCxxx package.

The K210 (and PC210, I210) comes with an FTP-written packet driver
(I.e. not in the Crynwr collection) called SLP16550, but this does not
REQUIRE the 16550 - it's up-and-down compatible with 8250, 16540 and
16550 chips. You may get better results at high speed if you DO have a
16550, since that chip has a hardware FIFO.

I.e. you don't lose characters if a package turns off interrupts, but DV
should sort this out anyhow.

Hence: you can order a Kernel product + DV/X; that should give you a
complete solution, as far as drivers etc. are concerned. The difference
between the K- and PC- products is the command-line utilities, including
telnet, ftp, mail etc.etc. (And the I- products add the NFS client
software).

Disclaimer:
Not having seen the DV/X released code package yet, I can't say whether
you can start up an xterm without doing a telnet first, so am not sure
whether K2xx + DV/X is a completely usable config.

We sell some or all of this stuff, so I'm biassed.

Am I wrong, or will desqview simulate an x-windows terminal through a

I spent a fair amount of time on the phone wiht QOS yesterday, and they

Anyway, I got at least two answers to the Windows startup size question.
The one I tried (i.e., the one other than the one Dan mentions) was to
put an "XStuff" section in my WIN.INI, as detailed in the READ.ME file
in the \DVX dir.  Now, Windows runs in 640x480 on my 800x600 screen.

I could see DV/X becoming a Windows replacement, if the trade magazines
would give it a chance.  It's application manager can replace Window's
program manager.  DV/X has inherited all the "prettiness" associated
with Windows and still remains a superior product.  DV Classic was
a niche product because you really had to be a technical-type to
appreciate it.  Now any average joe can look at DV/X and say "WOW! Windows
can't do that! (text converted to X graphics, scalable font DOS windows, etc).

A while back there was a small discussion about using the ASPI4DOS

performance.  I have just spent the better part of two hours trying
various ASPI4DOS settings and using CORETEST, Norton SI, and PC-Tools SI

without ASPI4DOS loaded, and about 5 scsi DISKBUFS on on the QEMM

I'm currently using an old XVision version under Windows 3.0. Screen
filling is slow under Windows 3.0, how fast is Desqview/X compared
with Windows 3.0 (or 3.1)?

I'm using the ATI VGA Wonder XL, does anyone know if Desqview/X support
the 1024x768 mode on this card, and with how many colors (16 or 256)?
The ATI VGA Wonder XL is VESA compliant.

Organization: Center for X-ray Lithography, UW-Madison


I don't know if this one is a DV/X bug or a SmartDrive bug, but I found
something interesting...

We were installing DV/X on a machine with SCSI and an ATI Graphics Ultra
board.  The owner of the machine was using SmartDrive configured to a 1K
cache.  Outside of DV, without ST:M, we had about 630K free.  However,
inside of DV the strangest thing happened:  Manifest reported that
"Conventional Memory Ends at 453K" (or something like that).  The
RAM between 453 and 640 just disappeared.

So I tried specifically including that memory, both on the QEMM and
DVX command line, to no avail.  So I tried Male Stealth.  Again, outside
of DVX we had 631K, but now inside of DVX manifest reported that
Conventional Memory ended at 281K.   Well, he's got some strange hardware
(scanner, ATI Ultra), so I commented out drivers until I found that
it was SmartDrive's fault.  Later we found that reducing the cache
size to 512K also solved the problem.

Has anyone else seen this bug?

BTW, if you want to throw money at your DV/X-ed computer, get an ATI Graphics
Ultra.  It makes scrolling go much faster.

I think Windows is, and should be marketed more as, a programming standard
than as an operating system.

One of the major selling points of DV/X is that it runs Windows apps.
It is no coincidence that Windows is the only graphical application that
you can run as an X app under DV/X.  Clearly, they needed to do that to
remain competitive.

And of course, the same args apply to OS/2.  Both DV/X and OS/2 offer
better platforms under which to run Windows apps.

As a programming standard, I think Windows is just fine.

As I posted yesterday, I got my copy of DV/X in and installed. The install
went smoothly, and the DV Window Manager has the same (or nearly so) look and
feel as DESQview/386 (non-X). I was up and running in no time.

Now the bad news: I'm running an EGA on my system (yeah, I know, but I've had
it for almost 6 years). DV/X claims to support EGAs just fine, but at least
the 1.0.0 release has problems:
1) X color support is broken - all I get is varying shades of gray, even with
the Gray Scale Video option turned off.
2) The Customize Menu, Adobe Type Manager, and other menus that take the full
height of the screen on a VGA are chopped off at the bottom on an EGA. You can
move the mouse cursor down there and select, if you can fly blind, but the
stuff doesn't show.
3) The File Manager and Icon Editor menus don't show up at all. THe
application starts, and the small window with the copyright notice comes up
for a few seconds, but I can't bring up the main windows at all. The tasks
show up in the System Monitor and the Switch Window menu, and if I close the
window, I get the application's Close Window dialog box.

I spoke to Quarterdeck's support types today; the guy I talked to didn't know
about these problems, but when he spoke to the programmer, he found out that
it was a recently discovered problem and that they were working on it. I've
been added to a list to get an upgrade whenever they fix the problem.

I intend to buy a VGA, but not right away; I hope they get this problem fixed
soon.

You don't absolutely need the DEMACS patches to GO32.  The new GO32
from DJ/Jerry incorporates the important fixes.  The only thing missing
is the DEMACS_KEEP stuff which speeds up running sub-programs.

Anyway, I found it quite easy to do context diffs from GO32 v1.05 to
Jerry's version and then patch them into DEMACS to get the latest
and greatest DEMACS for DV.

A question for all of you DV users.  I've been using DV 2.3.? for a while
now on my 25 Mhz 386DX with 2 Mb RAM, and I was wondering if it would be
worth my while to upgrade to 2.4.  I was hoping someone would explain the
benefits of upgrading to 2.4.  Thanks in advance!
