NT comes up in GUI mode, and from the program manager you can run console
sessions, misnamed MS-DOS prompts, in a manner just like Win 3.1.  You get
a character window and a C: prompt where you can issue NT, DOS, WIN16, 
and OS/2 1.x commands.  You can run these sessions either windowed or full-
screen.  The windowed sessions allow you to change fonts and screen-buffer
size.

Hi Mark,

ATI is firmly committed to Windows NT driver development.  We're showing
our beta drivers at Comdex on the 16th.  Release dates haven't been set
but will be announced on CompuServe shortly.  Thanks for your interest.

I attended the NT DDK conference in LA, I'm still awaiting the real
beta release/docs of the DDK. You've probably heard this before, but
"all I need to do is I/O to a few port locations". I've been pouring
over the "simplest" DDK example, the parallel port driver (>100 pages
of source!), I'm still mystified. 

I'd like to see a cookbook recipe for writing a *really* simple
device driver, no interrupts. Perhaps all it would have to do is allow
I/O access via ioctls. A VDD would then be grafted on top.

PCs are a tough sell here in UNIX-drenched academia. My group needs to
demo our custom hardware (currently running win31 & os/2) on NT to
get a foot in.

Sorry to repeat the question but the information has scrolled off our

with some levels of microcode on some IBM scsi adapters. I think I
have one. The symptoms are that I get through the first batch of
copying from the CD and it then says "read error - install a new disk"
or some similar remark. I had the July release installed and am
successfully restoring it but I cannot get the October release to
install.

What is the temporary fix?

Is there a permanent fix?

I'm trying to work this out on Compuserve but am having little luck.

I can "net use" my LM/X 1.3 machine from DOS Lan Manager just
fine with MSFT's latest TCP/IP code for Windows.

And the DOS machine also can "net use" the WNT machine just fine.

But when WNT does "net use g: \\hpmachine\share", it locks up solid
and "nothing was stirring not even a mouse"!

After clearing my event log and doing "net use g: \\hpmachine\share"
the log has one significant event in it possibly related to my WNT
freezing up solid:

------------------------------

Event ID:  4225
Source:    Tcpipsys
Type:      Information
Category:  None

TCP received a SYN packet with no options.
Source 149.173.106.11:139; Destination 136.96.8.34:1027.

0000: 00000000 004e0005 0000000 40001081

0020: 00000000 00000000

------------------------------

and the source happens to be my LM/X machine!!!

I'm talking but hanging up. What's going on?  Is there a fix for this?

Help...Thanks,

Walk, no RUN down to your local bookstore - look for "Visual Basic How-To"
a book by the Waite Group Press.  A number of good examples on using the
Windows API (only Windows 3.0 though) discussed in the book and on the
examples disk.  The disk also has a file called "WINAPI.TXT" which contains
a good VB reference to the Windows 3.0 API...

Another alternative is to get the WINAPI file from the Microsoft BBS (don't
have their number though) or from their Basic support forum library on
CompuServe (GO MSBASIC, look in the VB library...), They also will have
the updated file for Win 3.1...

I wonder if anyone has a generic replacement for malloc and free which make
use of GlobalAlloc and GlobalFree?  I did those up, but for some reason, the
memory thus allocated doesn't seem to be getting released properly, even
though I am careful to execute one free for each malloc.  As an offshoot of
this, my memory slowly goes down in Windows until I terminate my app, at
which time it all appears to come back. Any ideas?  Working procs?   Please
email me and I will summarize, as I know of at least two other people who
want this stuff.  I suspect there're more...
Thanks,
Bill Whedon   whedon@netcom.com

P.S.  My attempt follows (assume appropriate #include stuff):


void *mymalloc(size_t bytes)
{
   void *p;
   HANDLE h;
   h = GlobalAlloc(GMEM_FIXED | GMEM_ZEROINIT,(DWORD)bytes);
   if (h)
      p = (void *)GlobalLock(h);
   else
      p = NULL;
   return p;
}

void myfree(void *p)
{
   HANDLE h;
   if (NULL != p)
   {
      h = (GLOBALHANDLE) LOWORD((LONG) p);
      GlobalUnlock(h);
      GlobalFree(h);
   }
   return;

I has the fully uncompressed files + the compressed installation
files.  The compiler can be run from the CD, partially installed,
or fully installed. This lets you use 0M, 10M, or 45+M of harddisk
space for the compiler. I love the flexibility.

You should get it...

Good luck,
Cedrico.

If all pointers are large for default, you will have essentially the large 
modell. That is the one and only difference between medium and large. The 
switch you look for is the switch to large.
Because Borlands large modell for default stores all static data in the default 
data segment their large implementation is fully compatible with Windows. All 
complaints about large modell and Windows in some older Windows programming 
books apply only to older versions of MSC (up to 6.0) and real mode Windows.

BH>I sent in my disks in trade to the address they gave me about 4 weeks ago,

I got my CD-ROM about five days after ordering it.  I only live about 40
miles from Borland though.
