No, you can fake your path too.  I tried it in a test message once.  I
faked everything I could think of.  It worked except that nn added an
Originator: line to the header.  When I tried to fake it, I failed.

If you run Windows 3, try tttwin.zip in /pub/pc/win3/uploads
on cica. It mentions that there is also a DOS version, but
I don't know the source. From the documentation of the Windows
version:

Touch Type Tutor for Windows v1.0 <ASP> -
Intelligent self customizing typing tutor.
Super easy-to-use TOUCH TYPING TUTOR for
Windows 3.X.  Whether you want to rate a
professional typist's speed or learn to touch
type from scratch, this program has it all!
Intelligently customizes to learner's skill
level, ensuring the fastest learning curve.
Suitable for individual use, for teachers and

It looks comparable to commercial packages in my estimation.

I have to port our C library to PCs. I am living in a Unix world, with
limited knowledge of PCs and C compilers for PCs, so I have a couple
of questions I hope to get answer here.

The problem we are facing is addressing. The C library malloc's large
chunks of memory (this has to be continues memory, seen from the C
functions in the library). These chunks may be larger than 64k (this
is bound to give problems if we are limited to 16 bit addressing!).

So my questions are (probably mutually recursive):

	* What type of PC do we need. Is it possible to use < 386 PCs,
	  or should it be >= 386 ?

	* What C compiler should I use ?  I want the library to be of
	  use to most people and what most people use as their C
	  compiler. Are the libraries produced by PC C compilers
	  compatible.

Thanks,

Yes, that would be exactly what it means.  If the motherboard doesn't
have an open 'Feature Socket', there is no way to upgrade other than
to replace the entire motherboard.

It doesn't matter what is stamped on the motherboard; check for the
clock oscillator or look at the actual CPU (which should have writing
on it to tell you what it is).

The 486SX does not mean that it has a 16 bit bus, it actually means that the 
math copro is disabled (as was the original case) or not included in the chip atall.

Technically speaking, the 486 DX could be used in the 486SX socket, but the pin outs are different, leaving you with one of two options:
		1 hack the motherboard (definitely not recommended)
		2 if there are jumpers on the board  set them to DX

This is not possible in the same way as for the 486, however Cyrix do a 486

The easiest way is to run a program that supports the uucp protocol.
That will allow you to exchange mail/email in both directions.  I
personally use Mark Williams Coherent which is a unix system V r3
clone operating system.  It costs $99.95 and has everything you need
to connect your machine as a uucp leaf site.  It works great
for me and is much cheaper than a "full blown" unix os.
 
Barring that, I'm positive there is a PD version of uucp out
there for pc compatibles.  You might want to check out the
FTPable archives or use Archie.

Yes, We use the same motherboard for our 486SX-25 to the P24T. The 486DX-50
is not supported on the new motherboard. We do sell a DX-50. But it will be
on the ISA bus with no local bus slots. The 128k and 256k cache works for
all the processors that the motherboard supports. The optional SCSI 
Plug in chip comes with the drivers you will need for OS/2, Unix, DOS, CD-ROM,
Novell, and a SCSI cable.

The motherboard will be submitted to IBM for OS/2 2.0 certification.

Distribution: world
Date: 15 Oct 92 08:52:57 EST
Organization: Amiga BitSwap Central Dispatch

The BIOS in the original IBM AT does not recognize a HD 3.5 drive.  It will
gladly setup the drive as a 720K 3.5 drive or as you indicated in your
message, a 1.2meg 5.25 drive (in the later case, disks will be formatted
with the same number of sectors per track as a 1.2meg disk). You will need
a device driver to gain access to the full 1.44meg format. (contact the
drive retailer or manufacturer)

I ran into the same problem a few years ago.  I also contacted IBM and was
told that they do not sell BIOS upgrades, but I could send in the
motherboard for "repairs" and they would swap out the entire motherboard
and I would have a BIOS that did support the 1.44meg format. (Of course IBM
wanted a great deal of money to do this, and the AT would be disabled for
four to six weeks.)

So I installed a device driver.  But since I was installing the drive as
the A: drive (the original 1.2meg drive had died), I also had to use a
sector editor on a machine with both 1.2meg - 5.25 and 1.44 meg - 3.5
drives to create a 1.2meg - 3.5 version of IBM's diagnostic disk so I could
get at the computer's CMOS to install the 3.5 drive as the A: drive.  And
because of the device driver, I naturally could only floppy boot the
machine with a 720K disk.

If I had to do it all over today, I would have said to hell with IBM and
gone looking for a third party BIOS.

Hi folks.  I'm in the market for a 386/cheap 486 and I've got a few questions
to ask you knowledgable people out there.  First, let me say that my budget
is about $1200 maximum.  
Ok, here are my questions:

1) Should I go for a fast 386 (ie 386DX/40) or a 486sx? As far as I can tell, the 486sx runs $100-200 more expensive.

2) What difference does SVGA memory make? Should I settle for 512, or is
1MB the way to go? (I am planning on doing lots of graphics-oriented stuff).

3) Should I go for the cheapest possible price I can find, like from a 
no-name clone outfit in the newsprint section of the Computer Shopper,
or should I go for a well-known, but more expensive brand like Dell or
Gateway?

4) What about Interlaced/Non-interlaced?  Should I care?

I understand that the Cyrix 486DLC is pin compatible with the Intel 386DX

and a 1K cache. However, I hope to pick up some speed increase by merely

doesn't have a cache. Is the cache the only improvement, or does the 486DLC
actually execute faster for the same clock speed?

directory which only they and the sysop can see.  sending mail at least
between the sysop and users would be nice too.
	Are these standard bbs features?  Can you recommend a good
program for a PC which fits this description?  I know Macs inside-out,
but PC's only somewhat.  (I can get around in DOS just fine, but I'm
not familiar with a lot of technical aspects of PC's.)  The program would
be running on a PC which several clients would call, most with PCs and some
with Macs.  It would be nice if the bbs didn't need to be shut down
while files are being copied to the HD from a floppy by the sysop.
	The program should be able to handle a serial connection of
38400 baud (subject to hardware handling it, of course), and vt100
terminal support would be nice.

Hi all,

I'm confused by systems : 386SX, 386DX, 486SX and 486DX.

I was told the difference between SX and DX is a math-coprocessor, that is the
SX does not have the math coprocessor but the DX has. However I found my 
friend's 486SX-33 has a math-coprocessor when I use Norton to check.(He does
not put anything on board after bought it.)

Anyone can help me to clearify these configurations ?

Thanks in advance !

Cathy
