This is NOT his problem.  In addition, the UART on the internal modem
probably isn't changeable anyway.  His problem is with an IRQ
collision between COM1 and the modem at COM3.

This doesn't do anything for you unless you are running a 9600 baud or
faster modem and a multitasking OS.

If he has Windows 3.1, he can just use MSD.EXE, which comes with it.
However, this is irrelevent to his problem.

TaLk to MicroComm (sp) they *own* MNP. And they used to sell programs
that did MNP in software. (I've got one that will *only* work on a

I'm installing DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.1 on 15 P/S 2s for a department
on campus.  When I installed Windows on the first workstation, I gave
it the name of one of the department employees as the person to whom
the software was registered and the department as the organization.  I
would like to change that to the department being the person to whom
the software was registered and the University as the organization.  I
am hoping there's a way to do it without having to reinstall Windows,
Excel, etc.  Is there a way?  Where is this info kept?  It only really
matters when you bring up the About screen, but it's a matter of
aesthetics.

Thanks, in advance.

Organization: University of Karlsruhe, Germany
X-Newsreader: Tin 1.1 PL4
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 1992 13:40:59 GMT


Hi, out there !


For a long time I have been working with an old apple II+ computer and
developed several programs on it, which I also want to use on my new
computer - an atari TT.

Unfortunately, I don't have any communication card for my apple II
- and I don't believe, that I will get one anywhere - so I can't
transfer any program to the atari ( except by hand ... ).

Trying to find a solution for this problem I had the idea, that it
must be possible to connect the atari via the RS232-interface to
the centronics printer interface of the apple II. ( The most files
I have to transfer are program sources, i.e. ASCII-files ).
Thus I would transfer my files simply by "printing" them while the
atari should simulate the printer, but store the incoming characters
in a local file.

Does anyone know if the two computers can be connected in this manner
- and if yes, what kind of hard- and software is necessary to do so.
Another idea would be, to do the transfer to a MS-DOS-computer, because
the atari is able to read MS-DOS-discs.

If you have any idea, please send your response to the e-mail
address given above.

Thanks a lot in advance !

The adapter is at target LUN 0?  This is wrong.  The target ID of the
driver must be zero to boot and the adapter must be at another target
ID.  The default is 7 and you probably should leave it thier.  Hope this
helps.

Very little shareware is availlable with sources. And yes, it is A Good
Thing (tm) to have sources:

  - bugs can be fixed immediately (you never know if and when a vendor fixes
    bugs)
  - customizations can be made (again, you don't have to wait for the vendor)
  - it's nice to learn from other programs
  - it means that I can buy a new system without being a hostage of my old
    system (if I type my letters in WP under DOS, and I move to... say a Sun,
    then what am I going to do with my letters?)
  - often PD software is better than commercial software (GCC is for instance
    one of the best C compilers in the world, NeXT and BSDI use it too).
  - support can't be dropped and you can never be forced to upgrade if you
    don't want to.

It is undoubtedly a good question, but it is logically out of
context in comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d.  And now I don't mean the
ever-lurking off-topic / on-topic debacle. 

The simple fact is that per definition the comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d
newsgroup (where this has been crossposted) only concerns PD &
shareware programs.  (Strictly speaking cbip.d only concerns the
programs posted as binaries in comp.binaries.ibm.pc).  The same PD &
shareware aspect certainly goes for the sister newsgroup
comp.binaries.ibm.pc.wanted where a great number (if not the
majority) of the looking for questions come up.  So the former
question is the logically right one as far as the cbip hierarchy is
concerned. 

But as far as comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc and comp.os.msdos.apps are
concerned of course the question is relevant and logical, because
these newsgroups are supposed to, and do, cover also the fully
commercial programs.

Right on Bro!!!

Would anyone out there in net-land
flame me for suggesting that the

or maintain a UNIX system.  Unix may be
good if you have someone else to keep
it going for you (i.e. the systems manager)

In Summary:-

UNIX sucks, DOS sucks, Windows NT sounds
like it SUCKS.  In the not to distant future,
I will be finding out is OS2 sucks the hard way.
OS2 may be the only way to utilize a PC poperly.

Any suggestions on OS2 whether it is worth trying out.

Tonight, I was messing around with the new internal modem installed
in my computer.  While in Kermit, I tried to set its address space
for COM3.  Unfortunately, I believe I gave it the wrong value (3f8
rather than 3e8) due to a slip up.  Now drive a: on my 386 will not
read data in from disk, though drive b: works.

A search of my modem, online Kermit, i/o board and MSDOS5 manuals
turned up nothing on how to reset those addresses to their proper
default values, which is what I would like to do.  I tried a cold
reset, but that didn't work.  A search through the simtel index
gave me no clues as to a program to either detect what was wrong,
or reset the addresses.  This wouldn't be so annoying, except that
I was restoring from a backup of a repartitioning of my hard drive,
and most of my backups are zipped on the 5 1/4" media, which only
a: can read.

Any help is greatly appreciated.  If their is an authoritative
answer, I'll be sure to post it as a summary and get it to archive
sites for future mishaps, like mine.  Thank you.
