Hey,

I've bought recently a 386DX/40Mhz with a 1Mb (S?)VGA-card and a SVGA-monitor
with the possibility of 1024x768 resolution.

Now I've got the following question: My VGA-card should be able to handle
1024x768 resolution, shouldn't it? If it does, are there special drivers 
available so that I really can use this feature? I ask this because there
are several (S)VGA test programs on FTP-sites, which I've tried, but which
let me not choose the 1024x768 256 color option. 

This kind of PC-topics are quite new for me, so...please help!

Thanx in advance,

				Hans

Actually, Addstor (sp?) wrote SuperStor, which is the primary competitor of 
Stacker in the disk compression market.  I get the impression that the 
version of SuperStor included with DR DOS 6.0 is akin to a functional demo 
- if you try this version of SuperStor, you can buy the "full package" (
strangely enough, there is a discount mail-in coupon in the DR DOS 6.0 box
for the full version of SuperStor - or at least there was in mine).

I, too, am looking for a screengrabber, but one that can be triggered by
time, not keyboard or mouse actions.  (I just want to get some Windows

I have heard somewhere that the Japanese format their 3 1/2 
inch disks to 1.2 MB rather than 1.44 MB of the rest of the
world. I believe that they do use the same 720K format however
if you get them to send their data on 720K formatted disks you
should be able to read them.  Im not 100 percent sure of this
but presumably if you ask them to do a directory listing of their
disks they will only have a maximum free space of 1.2 MB.

OK

-> One problem here is DOS buffers. Each one holds 16 directory entries,
-> if the number of files in a directory exceeds 16*buffers then DOS
-> starts to thrash doing file name lookups on the directory structure.

 About a year ago I did some disk cache benchmarking.  The faster caches
were turning in suspiciously similar times, so I tried running the
benchmark (a mix of file and directory creation and deletion and some
copying) up in a RAMdisk.  Surprise!  The RAMdisk times were about the
same as the cached hard drive.

 The reason, of course, was that DOS takes a noticeable amount of time
to open or create a file and another chunk of time to negotiate
directories.  The various DOS versions I tried (all Microsoft; I didn't
have DR6 then) were almost identical in their timings.

 For a real thrill, try loading LANtastic as a server or peer.  Disk
access speed drops 40% right off the top as all the DOS calls get gummed
by the network before they're passed on to the kernel.

There's a TSR program called pcxdmp60.zip. Can't recall where I got it from,
but I think it's on quite a few ftp-servers (in the appropriate directories
.../screen). Nice program (SW), you can dump the screen to a pcx-file using
hotkeys.

Good search and grabbing!

Ah, that would be nice... but, alas, there are sooooo many!  And folks keep
making up new ones every day... especially some software publishers who want
their files to have unique extensions.

For example, CorelDraw created .CDR files, Lotus creates .WKx files while
Borland's Quattro Pro creates .WQx files.

Some others:

TXT, .DOC .ME (as in READ.ME) are hopefully text files
COM and .EXE are executables, ie. programs and .OVR are generally overlays.

Depending on WHAT the files are, they may be 'compatible' or even possibly
convertable from one to another.. but... you HAVE to know specifically what
they are and what you can and cannot do.. I don't think there's any book of
rules to tell you this.

It might also be possible to use FDFORM18, a package which can format and
read disks at other than their "normal" formats.  It was intended to
get higher-than-normal capacity on a given disk type (up to 1.72 MB on
a 1.44 MB floppy, for example), but it can format 3.5" disks to 15sec/trk
1.2MB capacity as well.  The package includes a tiny TSR which allows
DOS to read the "odd" formats.

It's available on wuarchive.wustl.edu (and probably other sites as well).

mirrors/msdos/dskutl:
-rw-r--r--  1 root       109056 Jul 21  1991 fdform18.zip

I would think that the different rotational speed might not be a problem
as long as the disks were written with a data clock that differed from
500Kb/sec by the same ratio as do the RPMs.  (Spin the disk at "our"
speed and you get data at "our" rate.)

Look in your Stacker documentation, in the appendix that contains the

If you are in a stand-alone computer (not attached to a network), try
the SUBST command.  This allows you to assign a drive letter to represent
a subdirectory.

For example:
SUBST P: c:\my\home\subdir
  will assign the letter 'p' to the path '\my\home\subdir'

You may then place that drive letter in your path.

Sample autoexec.bat file:

echo off
subst z: c:\myexecs
subst y: c:\dos
subst x: c:\mybatch
subst w: c:\myutils
path z:;y:;x:;w:;c:\borland\bin;c:\mouse
