[Linux Advert deleted :)]

   Mr Linus is wrong. There is a 32 bits Minix available from the
   Minix Centre (Look at the FAQ for details). It IS compiled with gcc
   except the kernel proper compiled with Bcc.

Yup - mm and fs compiled cleanly by GCC, but not kernel.

   GCC generates only 32 bits code but before MINIX puts itself in
   protected mode you must use only instructions in the 16 bits set.
   So you need a compiler able to generate both 32 and 16 bits code(BCC).
   Both compilers are included with the system.

All true.

Unfortunately, I have gone to the effort of changing the Minix
Centre's version of Minix-386 precisely to allow GCC to compile the
kernel. This has involved use of a new boot program (*) that keeps
all the 16-bit code in the booter, and uses the BIOS protected mode
switch to jump directly to a 32-bit Minix kernel, whose start-up
routines have been altered. In my mind, this is a much cleaner
start-up, and the boot program is considerably better (* - Boot
Monitor 1.3, written by Kees Bot kjb@cs.vu.nl).

Now, granted I have a lot of other changes in my version of the
kernel, but I can say that after using GCC to compile this,
my system runs a LOT slower than when BCC compiled it in 32-bit
mode.

GCC has a lot of advantages over BCC, especially in the error message
side, but in terms of speed of SYSTEM here, BCC wins. I know not why
(except maybe in the context switch - not saving fs/gs).

Sakurao Nemoto kindly pointed out that the minix facility bi will serve
as in inverse to rawrite. Since this is a minix group, naturally one assumes
this will be done from minix. However, I was actually thinking in terms of
doing it from DOS. Is there some way of copying an unknown floppy

I guess I should move this question to comp.os.msdos or someplace like that.

	My main goal in life is be be able to Zmodem download files and 
do other constructive work at the same time.  After I fixed my problem w/
800x600, I started experimenting w/ this goal.  When I run Procomm 2.4.2 as
a non-windows app and any other non-windows app it freezes up Procomm.  When I
turn off Exclusive and try it again, it tell me that exclusive needs to be on.
And sometimes it tells me I don't have enought memory.  However, windows says 
I have plenty free.  When I run procomm w/ any Windows App it works fine.  

	So, to the root of my question...  

		1) Why is it that Non-windows apps cannot take advantage of
the Virtual memory provided in Windows 3.1?

		2) Is there anyway to make DOS run as a Windows App?

		3) Is my only solution to purchase the Windows versions of
all of my favorite packages?

		4) Is Desqview X or Windows NT a better solution?

	I would be very interested in hearing what your opinions are.  

	Thanks...

That seems to be the case for me.  I have 2M of 80 ns SIMMS and 2M of 70 ns
SIMMs.  What I don't understand is WHY this would cause a partity error.  My

Hi Folks,

	I've got a problem when I install CorelDraw 3.0 directly from

I did the installation on D: and it always come up saying that the

'min' and 'custom' installation option. I then think maybe there's not
enough space in C: for it to do temp so I made C: ~5M free. This time
I was able to do minimum installation but nothing more. Does anyone
know how I can do the full instalation? (I read in the readme that 
I should change the setup.lst in A: but it's a cdrom so I couldn't 
change anything there.)

Shareware Magazine announced that PC-SIG has a new religious clip art disk
available.  It's described in the Sept-Oct 1992 issue.  The art is in PCX 
format and it's on PC-SIG disk 3104.  You could try the PC-SIG archive on
ksuvm.ksu.edu.  Or you could contact PC-SIG at 1-800-245-6717 (ext. 2341).
The registration fee, according to Shareware magazine, is 10 dollars per
image group.  Sorry, it doesn't say how many image groups are included.

I have an 'old' Zenith 286 (desktop) with a Z449 Advanced Graphics Adapter.
This is an EGA card but it is supposed to display at 640x480 (16 colors)
with the appropriate drivers.
I bought the computer in 1988 and it came with MS-Windows 2.0.  A driver
(called win480.drv) was included.

The question: are there any updated drivers (Windows 3.x) for this video
              card available or is it possible to use the old driver?

Thanks
