Subject: DRDOS6 + Wizardry 7 incompatible?
Organization: DSIR, Palmerston North, New Zealand
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 92 00:32:59 GMT

Hi there,

Wizardry 7 aborts with a not enough memory message when I attempt to run it 
under DRDOS6. Mem reports 624Kb free and Wiz7 has a stated requirement of 
577Kb (or thereabouts). I also have 4Mb of expanded memory available. I 
suspect that Wiz7 cannot see the memory saved by DRDOS's memmax +l feature, 
as applying memmax -l results in 576Kb free (bummer, 1Kb short).

Has anyone succeeded in getting 386/Max and Windows 3.1 running

can't run Windows anymore.  I followed the installation instructions
that reference Windows 3.x.  So I don't know if there's a problem with
using Windows 3.1 or not.

The symptom is that I see the Microsoft Windows 3.1 icon upon starting
Windows but then it just exits to DOS after a few sesonds.

Any ideas appreciated....please e-mail and I'll summarize if there is

Summary: Problem with NuPop connection to Xyplex
Keywords: NuPop, Pop, Xyplex, Problem
Date: 9 Oct 92 15:57:05 GMT
Organization: Univ. At Buffalo, ASCIT

Hello!

I am testing NuPop here at SUNY at Buffalo.  We have a Xyplex dialin system in
which telnetting to specific ports are a secure operation.  In the default
connect.scr script, the command to connect to the pop server "telnet %s %p"
where %s is the host machine and %p is the port (110).  With further
investigation, I found that it is almost impossible to connect to the server
without putting in my own account and password in a script file, and from
THERE, telnetting to our pop server.

What I am proposing is this.  At the Xyplex (UBNET) prompt, have the script
file type connect pop-vms, pop-cms, or pop-unix and create an alias for these
machines linking them to the secure port.  (For example, in the connect.scr
file, have the command "c pop-vms" where the "telnet %s %p" command was
before, and proceed as usual.  The 'pop-vms' would be linked to
"ubvms.cc.buffalo.edu 110" (or /port=110).  Is this just a long way of doing
something that would be much simpler, or is this something that we need to
do?!?  Or, rather, is it even *POSSIBLE* to do it this way.  This is just my
thoughts on the matter.. if someone else has done pop connections from Xyplex
dialins with port telnetting as a secure operation, please let me know.
Follow up in mail, and I will post the results to this newsgroup if there's
any interest.

Thanks for your time.

Gee, and I thought that I got confused after staying up for too long... :-)

Please excuse any unclear wording on my part.

The information that Andrew mention is indeed in the SDK documentation.

Andrew is one of GeoWork's Technical Writers (which means that he, along
with a bunch of other documenting maniacs :-).  This, of course, means that
he has written a good portion of the SDK documentation.

I don't think this answers the question.  Moving a document to another
drive won't change the location of the \geoworks\document directory.
When you click on the documents icon you will be in
\geoworks\document, not wherever your docs are stored.  It would be
good to be able to reassign the directory pointed to by the documents
icon, but I don't know how.  Anyone?

Again, I don't think this works.  perf tells you how much memory you
are using, not how much you can use.  I suppose you can run lots of
programs and see how much you use before it starts swapping to disk,
but that still wouldn't be very accurate.

I've often asked myself the same question and never found a good
answer.

first off, load the GIF into VPIC or some other image-molesting program, and
convert it to a 16-color PCX file [or monochrome PCX file, if you're using
GWS and feel like it].

Then, pop back into GEOS, start up the Scrapbook, and pick file/import.

Wander around the directory tree until you find the file, and pick it.  That
dumps it into the scrapbook, at which time it's a GEOS graphic object.

Pick edit/copy, then start up the Preferences manager, pick background, and
pick the bit about getting background from clipboard, or whatever it is - the
horizontal bar.  Answer anything it asks you, and you've got a background.

GEOS doesn't use stock GIFs, TIFs, or PCXs as backgrounds, for some reason.

From the FAQ:

Q:  Can anyone tell me what the difference is between Ensemble and 
    Pro?  

A:  Geoworks Pro comes bundled with Quattro Pro SE, a DOS-based 
    spreadsheet from Borland that you can buy separately.

    There's a spreadsheet viewer in Pro which works with Quattro and 
    Lotus files.  The viewer runs within the PC/GEOS environment, and 
    allows you to do font changes, printing, and cutting to paste into 
    other GeoWorks apps.  You can't edit the spreadsheet contents 
    unless you select an "Edit Spreadsheet" menu item.  That menu 
    selection launches Quattro Pro by dropping into DOS first.

    Geoworks Pro also has a few improvements over GWE 1.2, such as the 
    ability to use the DR DOS 6.0 task switcher.  The Pro distribution 
    contains a bunch of DOS program launchers that were bundled with 
    various OEM configurations of Ensemble.  Launchers are loaded onto 
    your system if you identify it as one of the OEM systems. This is 
    more of a packaging difference than a product difference; GeoWorks 
    simply chose to distribute the OEM versions and the generic 
    version in a single orderable item.

Ted,

I'm not real sure I follow what you're asking. If your question is, where 
does GW keep the representations of icons that it displays everytime you use 
it (e.g., icons for GeoComm, GeoWrite, etc.)? The answer to that question 
is, in the GEOWORKS\SYSTEM\TOKEN.DB file. You can delete TOKEN.DB and GW 
will regenerate it. If your question is, from where does GW regenerate the 
TOKEN.DB file, then my answer is, I don't know. My guess is that it gets 
them from the files themselves, using TOKEN.DB to speed up refreshes.

Maybe you're asking, where can one obtain other icon files? Well, the usual 
ftp sites have them (mir.eco.utexas.edu, SIMTEL20, wuarchive.wustl.edu, 
etc.) These are separate files.

A question I have along these same lines is: has anyone been successful in 
extracting the DOS app icons from the GEOWORKS\SYSTEM\WELCOME\DOS_ROOM.000?

Thanks for your support.

I used a program called PICLAB, obtained from a Geos archive site,
to remap one of my favorite GIF images to GEOS format, for use as
a background. I followed the instructions in PICLAB, and moved
the converted file to the Backgrnd folder in GeoWorks.  I even renamed
it to have the extension .bit.  However, GEOS doesn't recognize this

geos will take off when the sdk is available. What is the slated

Oh yes, another question: I had heard that it is possible to
get a "demo" version of geos that is functional but will not
save anything...and that this demo is avalable at a fraction
of the cost of the real thing (hence a good way to check it out.)

For people like myself, who live in Canada, who should I contact

For instance, we all know that, in VT100 emulation, <ESC>[K means erase from 
cursor to end of line. Some of us may even know that this function does not 
work in GeoComm (at least not in *my* version). Doesn't GeoComm actually 
translate <ESC>[K into whatever *it* thinks will clear-to-end-of-line?

Let's suppose that GeoComm translates <ESC>[K into that special command code 
GeoCLEOL which GeoComm happily recognizes (I'm talking ideal here) and 
performs successfully. If I knew what control codes make up GeoCLEOL, I can 
try to get my mini-computer to send *that* instead of <ESC>[K. This, of 
course, assumes (dangerous, I know) that GeoComm will either recognize 
GeoCLEOL and pass it on without changing it or will not recognize it and 
pass it on without changing it. This would, in effect, allow me to create on 
my mini-computer, a termcap specific to GeoComm.

Please wake me up if I'm dreaming. Maybe this simply displays my lack of 
understanding of GeoComm and/or its terminal emulation.
