Hello !
I was wondering if there may be a TIGA10 expert out there to help me.

The problems I have are the following:

Using the TIGA10 under Windows 3.1 the screen flimmers (its obvious to
see). But somehow I cant run it in the 1096x786 interlaced mode (which
should be better). Is this due to the monitor ?

In the handbook there are two frequqencies given for the 1096x786
non-interlaced mode. why ? which one is used or how can I use the higher
one ?

does picking a driver in windows have any influence on the mode the card
runs in or is that only determined by the TIGA setup program ?
is the driver for windows actually using the coprocessor on the TIGA for
drawing ?
if not, is there a new driver that does ? (more speed !)
if yes, where to get that ?

Any help would really be appreciated, thank you,
Mike

If there is only a small amount of flicker it is probably caused by the 
display and videocard not being perfectly matched. 
And if you have a display/card that supports only interlaced 1024x786 mode
it is caused by that. Anyway i don't think it has anything to do with the
Windows driver. I think you havn't tried with any other program that uses
high resolution video modes. 
I have a Trident 8900 and am using the 1024x786x256 mode although it flickers
a little bit (only some colors/patterns). I think you should eighter update
your display (and video card if needed) or use the 800x600x256 mode.

Summary: I need help using fax software in win3.1enh.  Could  starup help?
Keywords: fax, windows, setup

I have a Fremont Communications Fax96 (w/One-Liner) board and would like to be
able to send faxes from inside of Win 3.1 while in the enhanced mode.  The
software that came with the modem is DOS based.
Their  software ( Frecom ) does not allow fax transmission while in the
enhanced mode.
  The manual and the company, by phone, claim that WIN3.0enh does not allow a
certain type of high speed communications required by the board. They claim
that if I want to send faxes from Win I need their Windows special fax/modem
board (which they will kindly upgrade me to if I return my board and another
$100  or so).
     Is this possible? Does it even matter for Win3.1 or could I by a windows
based software to send Faxes with or can I change some settings in a system 
file to allow these communications.  My board is set up as IRQ5 port288 or 280.
I would appreciate any input and information.  Thank You.

My guess is that MM is Microsoft Mouse emulation.

Has anyone had ANY luck getting a Diamond Stealth card to work with
QEMM's Stealth turned on?  The Diamond Stealth works very well with
QEMM and Windows 3.1 without QEMM stealth.
When I turn on QEMM's stealth Windows starts . . . Windows Logo . . .
then BLANK SCREEN. [sortof really stealth - it's invisible!]

Windows IS running - if I then hit ALT+F4,return [exit windows]
I get my C:\> prompt back.

ANY IDEAS?

I believe this was covered recently but I lost the thread.  I can upload
and download sucessfully to local BBSs using Terminal (Xmodem) and I can
upload using Kermit to my Unix mainframe (using E-7-1) but I cannot down-
load from the Unix mainframe ( a Sun/4 running SunOS 4.2.1).  My procedure
is to type "kermit", then "server", then select "send binary" or "receive
binary".  All is well except for downloading, which times out and gives me
a message to check my protocol, which is set for Kermit when I check.
Any thoughts?

Thats interesting and useful too.

But one question ... does the whole TCP/IP and appplications
and SLIP run as one user process, rather like kermit, or 

Are the protocols really either migrated to kernel, or otherwise
(perhaps tsapd style) available as a general library to 
multiple users on the same machine at the same time ?

Can I, for instance, get the KA9Q/SLIP on my Coh, and 
ftp the BSD sources using socket(3) calls and just compile
and run ?

Hi,
Wow! did my post get screwed up. Sometimes when I use the dos box to
post news it comes out very different from the file I write. Here's
another attempt from my Coh box. At the key part:
---test.lex.2---
%%
hello\n  printf( "hello found\n" ); /* line 2 */
a*\n     printf( "a's found\n" ); /* line 3 */
---end test.lex2---

line 2 should read hello<newline>, where <newline> is the c style
escape sequence for a newline, then the printf statement follows
on the same line. Line 3 should read a*<newline> followed by
the printf statement.

Somehow, somewhere in the news system, the newline escape sequence
seems to have been interpreted rather than transmited literally. I
did not know this could happen!!!

Yours Truly,
Randy Wright

The escape sequences implemented by the console device driver aren't

Try setting 'term' to 'ansipc'. This worked for me.. I had this problem
on my desktop system.

of course, I have to change it to 'vt100' when I log in on my VT100.. :-/

Actually, Coherent 4.0 has SIGCHLD but it doesn't work (i.e. I think the number
is implemented but the code is not).  See signal.h.

>Does anyone know what the correct procedure is for notifying a
>parent process that one of its child processes has just died??

Since you can't use a signal, you can't do it concurrently.  You must do a 
wait().  If you have more than one child, then you can do a wait(), check the 
pid; if it was not the desired pid, wait again, etc.

If you must do some stuff concurrently, then you can fork(), exec(), then do 
your concurrent stuff.  When you are done all that you need to, do a wait().  
The child will be a zombie if it dies while you are not waiting, but as soon
as you wait for it, you will get the pid and the child will die a proper death.

I think (*hope*) that signals will be properly implemented under 4.1.  I must
admit though, tcsh wouldn't have been any fun to port if the signals had been
fully implemented!

Yes, you need the sources for this informations. The smail package is freeware,
the sources are available from COHware disks, mwcbbs and raven, but I'm not

differs from the sources.

One way to find out would be to go into setup and tell your system
that there are no hard drives or, if you run SCSI drives, unplug
them. Then try booting off the floppy and see what happens.

Who is using the Ka9q package under Coherent 4.0 ?
Who ported it to Coh 4.0 ?
Is only the slip/ppp implemented or also the rest ( packet radio ) ?
