The publicity for NB4 states that a hard disk is required.  I suspect
that with a lot of juggling you could get it to run on a single drive
laptop like yours, but I also suspect that it will take a lot of trial
and error.  Remember that NBI officially states that a hard disk is
required, so although they may be able to offer advice they may just
as easily say "not supported" when you inquire.

In the meantime, it has been my experience that the utility included
in NB4 to import NB3 files works well.  Is it possible to use NB3.1 on
your laptop for notetaking and just import the files when you move
them to your desktop machine?

   Mervyn's last message about NB?P encourages me to ask for the moon: has
anyone made a list of the nbcustom.set lines and what they affect/control?
   I would much prefer to edit nbcustom.set directly than through the menu
system.  And I bet I'm not alone.  May I suggest that such a decoding list
would be a wonderful present to share?  (Please excuse me for thinking of

Appreciations to Dorothy Day for ordering existing information on
NBCUSTOM.SET.  Would it be possible for Dorothy to act as a clearing house
for subsequent discoveries? For instance, I have come upon NBK1 and 2 as
determining (not very succesfully) keyboard speed and pause b4 moving.  Are
you listening, Dorothy?

I have tried OS/2 on my machine (Toshiba 3100sx with 5Mb) and with N.B. 4.0
Lingua and it worked well. But I do recommend that when You buy that computer
it should be 486 with 8Mb memory and at least 80Mb hard disk. And of course,
You should chech that it is truly working with OS/2 2.0 (perhaps You should buy
a IBM machine?).
I have only 40Mb hard disk and I have tried DRDOS 6 (excellent but problems
with Toshiba's special features). I use DesQview and Windows 3.1, allthought
I don't like Windows so much, because it is unstable and in DesQview I get 
troubles with N.B.'s display fonts.
OS/2 is excellent and stable, but it is a little bit demanding (there is much
more to learn). It is truly multitasking (I formatted disks background when 
I was working with N.B.). But at the momemt I don't use OS/2 because I don't
have enough disk space for it and my applications.

Notice: Full OS/2 takes about 30Mb hard disk space, but then there is 
Win 3.0 with it (Win 3.1) support should be quite soon. Also, there should
be a lighter version of OS/2 in the beginning of '93. You should also check
November and December published PC Magazines (there are tests and reviews 
of OS/2).

Merry Christmas to You (and Your Family). Christ has born!

You can start by downloading NB4GEN01.ZIP and reading my report about
NB 4.0. You can then download several backlogs of this list (at least
from November 1992), and for comments, reactions, problems, troubles,
bugs, and praises.

Forget the Windows 3.1 conflicts with Orbis

The same problem just occurred at the Dos level and this time QEMM was
kind enough (?) to leave the following message:

        Exception #13 at 0EC8:AEC8, error code: 0000
        AX=2732 BX=FFFF CX=BBFE DX=14AE SI=0000 DI=2732 BP=0000

        Do you want to (T)erminate the program or (R)eboot?

This is worse than Greek to me as my QEMM manual is not at hand.
Perhaps someone as knowledgeable as Paul Boden (sp?) has the
appropriate hermeneutical expertise? Has anyone else had this kind of
problem, or at least one that shares a family resemblance to this?

I have mapped a great deal of the new functions,but for lack of
time [and energy], I have not made it all public. However, please
check NB4XPL01.ZIP, as well as NB4CST01.ZIP, where I have put
various files with info on XPL and customization in NB 4.0.

I have had a similar problem loading a user dictionary--the menu just
won't do it.  Being of a persistent nature, I've sat there and gone through
the menu procedure four or five times with no luck at all.  Only the action
line works.  Rather than waste an extravagant amount of time fooling around
with something that doesn't work, I've simply edited my keyboard file.
Alt-D now sends the appropriate command to the action line and returns me
to my document once the dictionary is loaded--no fuss, no bother.

Newsgroups: bit.listserv.notabene

Having just started to play around with NB4 new footnotes and needing to get
a book into print by Wednesday I ran into the following problem (one of many,
but so far the only real serious one): sometimes the footnotes with variant
readings (unnumbered, FN1) do not appaer at the bottom of the page but are
placed just below the text. I need to get the notes to appear relative to the
bottom margin. In NB3 there was a command for that (bf=1) which seems to be
lacking in NB4. Any suggestions of how to accomplish this? BTW, looking at the
NB3 manual I noticed the sc command to change the way the note number comes
out (superscript or on the line). Is there any way to change this in NB4?

Those two commands are the same in NB4 as in NB3: bf=1, to make the
notes print relative to bottom of page; and sc=0 or 1, to make the
note numbers print unsuperscripted or superscripted.

This is a report by QEMM that a processor exception has occured.
Exception 13 is the exception generated when a program tries to access
an address in memory that is protected from it (for example, it will
occur if a program tries to write to a video ROM address).  This
exception is not a QEMM function--it will occur whether QEMM is loaded
or not if the program tries to execute this function.  It's just that
under DOS you will never know it occured until the program crashes,
and then you won't know why.  QEMM does you the service of trapping
processor exceptions so that you know they have occured and can
prepare for the consequences.

The rest of the message lists the location and nature of the errant
machine instruction, and the contents of the processor registers when
it occured.  If you send this information to the developer (NBI in
this case) who has the source code and a map of the program they
should be able to trace the bug and fix it.  Unless you know the
program at the code level, though, the information doesn't tell you
much.  If you would be willing to report the problem to NBI and send
them the information that QEMM reported, along with a description of
what you were doing when it occured, it might help them track down the
problem.  They would also need a description of your machine and its
configuration, including the type and brand of video card, the amount
of memory and how you have it configured, what you are using for an
overflow drive, etc.

Does anyone know the equivalent of NB3's DX (display off) and DO
(dislay on) in NB4. John Morris's wonderful AB2LONG.RN utility -- which
converts abbreviated journal title to their long form -- still works in
NB4 (with some minor tinkering) but the screen display stays on while
NB does its search-and-replacing. An interested visual effect,
especially on a 486/33, but a litte on the annoying side.

Thanks in advance.

Newsgroups: bit.listserv.notabene

If the user of NB 3.1 who queried about switching to 4.0 is using
the Israeli version of NB (Shapirit), the issue is quite different
from the factors involved in switching from the regular version of 3.1

Itamar covered this a few months ago in response to my question. At
that time, as I recall, the bottom line was that for people who
worked mainly in Hebrew, the Israeli 3.1 version was better in several
important aspects than 4.0 was *at that stage in its development*.

What the story is today, I dunno.

--Yes, and again, Yes.  Whether anyone has reported it, I cannot say.  I
have tried for about a week to talk to tech support at NBI, but they do not
return my calls.  (The receptionist now asks what the matter is, and I

This is helpful. I have dashed back to NB (having just left it to see
if there was anything in email while deep in a paper on the role of
state violence in SA for the International Journal of the Soc'gy of
Law....) and looked at what Tony offers, and I will give this a whirl.

What is not clear to me is how I would actually use this, but I have a
sick feeling that I'm being a bit dim. I have tested some of this
already over the last few days, and found that .bpl files, now all my
addresses, appear listed very nicely indeed thank you kindly sir.

Now, take it further: if I create a wodge of .tpl files (in \boiler?),
being standard headings for various documents to be distributed to
students - I assume that I will somewhere be asked whether I want my
.bpl files or my .tpl files to be offered to me: right? I assume that
buried in the system is a menu which I have not seen because so far
\boiler contains only one set of files so there is nothing to choose
between.

And I'm not clear about the other (R) screen's use. But I assume that
testing by creating a few directories and putting things into them
will reveal all.

Good night, all - it's 6.00 GMT and She Who Makes Chutney has just
rung to say she's coming to take me away ho ho....

Subject:      RE: Those NBM# settings in NBCUSTOM.SET

More wide-awake than last night, I read my posting with chagrin--
the subject line was correct but the message got it wrong.

The settings are, of course NBM1..NBM9, not NBP1..NBP9 in the following:

>(or F1-File-Pick filepad) menu are the ones recorded in NBP1 etc.
