	(I'm not sure what the most recent version is). Is there
	an FTP site on which I could find it?

	Thanks in advance.

Just to put in my 2 cents here.  I have OS/2 2.0 and regularly run Falcon 3.0,
which I consider to be a very "state of the art" PC based game.  As long as I
run nothing else (but OS/2 and PM, of course) while Falcon is up, it runs at
nearly the same speed as under DOS.  The difference in speed is hardly
noticable.  I run Falcon with full detail and high fidelity flight model, which
uses the math coprocessor.  The only thing I can't use is the Soundblaster
digitized speech stuff.  All of the sound effects work, but the digitized speech
doesn't.  I have a 486-33 w/8meg memory.

My point is that if a DOS game is written "correctly" (my definition :-), then
it should run well under OS/2 and still retain most of the features we come to
expect from state of the art DOS games...

How does one configure the mouse that comes with ATI video cards?
Is it a bus mouse or serial mouse?
Now, my REAL question...  Those of you who have the mouse, how good is it?
I read in some magazine that it is very comparable in quality to the
MicroSoft and Logitech mice.  Do people agree on this?  Is it well built?
Is it comfortable to use?  Is it MicroSoft compatible?

I need to know this because I am purchasing a new computer with an ATI
card and mouse, and I want to know if I should consider a new mouse in the
total cost.
So any other opinions/info on the ATI mouse would be greatly appreciated.

Please EMail responses.

Try copy [filename] [printer-port]
where filename is the file generated by your word processor, and
printer-port is the io port where your printer is connected, such
as lpt1, lpt2, com1, etc.

Hi,
   I am using a 386 Intel pc connected to a 1.2Gb disk drive, when I use
<chkdsk -f> I get errors. If the drive is partitioned so that the partition
size is <1Gb then no problems. I could partition the drive up into two 600Mb
partitions but I am storing very large graphic files and need all the space.
If the pc was just for my own use then I just wouldn't use chkdsk but the unit
is to be shipped to a customer and chkdsk is useful to clear up an aborted
transfer. 
   Is there a replacement maybe in the public domain which overcomes this
limitation? If so could you please point me at it, or is there any comercial
program which does the same thing? Norton Utils might work but it seems a
large sum of money to pay for just the chkdsk facility.
	If this is an old chesnut of a problem then please forgive as I have
only just subscribed to the group.

			Cheers,

Choose Control Panel under the main window or group, open up the icon for
ports and make sure that under the settings you have the address 03E8
entered as the base port address.  Also make sure that the Interrupt request
is set for 4.  Initially both of these options may be set to "default".
When I've had problems in the past this has seemed to clear them up.

Reply-To: bchs1b@Elroy.UH.EDU

We accidently deleted the contents of a subdirectory on the hard disk
of an AT clone. I immediately realized what happened and ran UNDELETE from
PC-tools 7.1 (system is running ms-dos 3.3, single partition 20MB hard drive).
There was no file activity after the delete and before I ran Undelete.
(Note that I had not run MIRROR and did not have file tracking on). So
undelete saw all the files (about 50) and said we had GOOD chance to recover
them all. As I went through the files one by one and typed in the first 
character and undeleted the file, every so often the next file then 
changed from GOOD to BAD probability of being undeleted and pc-tools
could no longer undelete it. It is as if when PC-tools was working it
overwrite areas of the disk so that it ruined the chance of undeleting
subsequent files. Can anyone explain what happened or what I did wrong.
I have been undeleting files for years using many programs and this is 
the first time I have ever seen this. I don't care about those
files, but I want to make sure it never happens again.

are not cheap and I am thinking perhaps I could make do with a Xircom
connector via the parallel port, using thin net to our Unix box. (Forgive
my inexact terminology here, I am a MVS systems programmer). Anyway,
this sounds reasonable but are there are shareware/public domain TCP/IP

Sorry, can't help with the free Fortran compiler, but...

Lahey give huge discounts to bona fide educational institutions (and
students, I believe) - so go and kick butt and tell 'em what you're
about and why you're non-profit.  With any luck (if there's any justice
left in this cruel world?!) they'll give you a compiler.

Lahey Fortran products are *good*.  You may be lucky, but IMHO I think
you're in for MEGA hassles if you go for 'free' shareware that does not
implement the full FORTRAN77 standard - which Lahey does.

The 'Personal version' referred to above, while implementing the full
standard, restricts the amount of array space you can declare - which is
very limiting if you have some serious programs to compile!  So get them
to *GIVE* you the F77L package with at least the Spindrift Utility
Library.  Their Graphoria and Spindrift Windows (not MS 3.1 compat.)
might prove useful to you as well!

And no... I don't work for Lahey - just a satisfied customer! :-)

Good luck!
