Thank you for your contribution.  This upload is now available as

General advice for our kind uploaders, while we are at it.  I hope
you don't mind, Friend Duncan, about my using the opportunity.
Please avoid using tabs in the upload announcements because these
annoucements may be read on different system and they do not
necessarily tread the tabs quite the same way.  The end result may
look somewhat "jumpy" depending on the readerp's particulars.

   All the best, Timo

	I use DIET as a tsr on both my desktop and my laptop, and have found
it to be one of the most beneficial programs I own. I've tried both Stacker
and the compression routines bundled with DR-DOS, and while they provide
more space than does diet (coupled with pklite - which I use for my
non-overlaid exe files), they both seem FAR more subject to problems than
diet.

	Try it - not only will you like it, but it's EASILY reversible
(typing diet -r *.* will restore all files in a directory) in the event an
individual program is "unhappy" with the packed file.

	Hope it helps.

This is more of an MsDos than a comp430d problem.  Run HELP LOADFIX
on your MsDos 5.0 PC, and see what happens.  See the MsDos manual
for more details of the whys.  If this does not help (but it

Only the connectors. I've done it on a 386SX, a 386DX, a 486DX.

I recently downloaded BAM350.ZIP from one of the mail servers.
After playing with it a while, setting up an account, etc, I 
went and watched a movie.  When I came back and tried to load
the data, I received a wrong version error.  I could find no
mention of what this might be in the docs.  I dont know if
this is a bug, or if the program is crippleware, or whatever.
Has anyone else tried this program?

The problem is easy to fix.  Each record stores the version
number, 3.00.  However, the program version is 3.5.  Changing
the 3.00 to 3.50 in my test file fixed the problem, but of
course, adding more transactions adds the wrong version number
and you are back at the beginning. 

This seems like a really wierd problem.  I mean, it would seem
to be impossible not to find this as a bug the second time
you executed the program.

I could not find an email address for the author in the docs 
supplied.

Any comments, help appreciated.

I have been given the unenviable task to porting a set of tools which I
developed on the Sun to the msdos environment.  I have made extensive use of
flex and bison in the development of the tools.  Does anyone out there have ports 
of these tools to msdos?  I have investigated the gnuish ports of the gnu tools,
however these appear to be rather early versions with minimal documentation.  The
tools, especially bison, have had useful additions in recent releases.
I could build these myself if the source and makefiles for dos are
available, however a completed port of the tools would be even better.
I have access to the newest Turbo-C/C++ compiler, so that would be my
choice as to compilation tools.

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Howdy,

I'm looking for a program that intercepts stuff sent to a serial port like
COM1 and sends it over ethernet to some host.  I've got a packet driver

host for spooling.  Is there a TSR that will do this, or something like it.
I can write the program for the Unix box, but not for DOS.  Thanks plenty.

There is a softwaresolution for booting (I've found a boot_b on a ftp-site),
but there is a problem with the OS/2 installtion, because disk 3 uses some
infprmation in a config-file, which does not fit to the BIOS-changes by boot_b

I think this is way won't work. It's a mistake of the installation-program in
my opinion. Other programs can do it better. :-) (try linux)
