Subject: How to utilize available PC's effectively

Organization: Digital Equipment Corporation


Hi,

  A friend of mine in India has bought 4 PCs (286) and is planning to buy a
fifth PC (386) for his small business. He would like to be able to run windows
and future applications targeted for the 386 on the 386. What would be a suitable configuration (hard disk and RAM capacity)? Also, the PC's are mostly unutilized in the evenings and nights. He is interested in improving their utilization by entering into the data entry business (e.g., CD-ROM data entry).
Since he is based in India (where skilled labor costs only a fraction of that in the US), he feels he will be able to offer data entry services to US customers
at attractive rates. Distance may not be a problem since there is overseas
mail and e-mail. Where should he start? Which companies are likely to be interested in data entry services? Is there any other way he could use his
PC's more profitably?

   I would appreciate any help that readers may be able to provide. Kindly email
your replies to me (arvind@nac.enet.dec.com), since I am not a frequent reader
of this news group. 

  Thank you.

	Arvind.

Subject: DR-DOS Installation Hell -- HELP, PLEASE
Summary: It doesnt work!
Date: 10 Apr 92 20:51:55 GMT
Organization: University of Rochester - Rochester, New York


I've already posted to comp.misc, and comp.os.msdos.apps -- forgot about
this group.  

Has anybody out there had a problem with the DR-DOS 6.0 installation routine
being unable to complete the installation?  The circumstances are unusual,
in as much as the disks I'm installing off of are 3.5" 1.44M disks copied
from the originals, which were the wrong media for my system (and yes, I did
order the right size, whatever they say).  However, unless they are
employing copy protection, everything should be AOK with the copies, and
I've even modified the Install.INI file to show the right disk type.

The problem that occurs (well the major one -- there are others) is that
when it comes time for the Install routine to copy the files to disk, it
goes into this endless loop where it fails to recognize its own disk as "the
startup disk", and keeps prompting you to put it in.  

If you try and lead installation down another path, you can get to a point
where you get a message that the drive is not ready (which it is).

This all sound to me like hidden *.INI information, but there are no other
*.INIs on the disk that could do this -- I looked at them all.

Any suggestions will be _warmly_ welcomed -- DRI siad they _might_ get back
to me sometime within the "next few business days"  (right, you know where
you can stick your business days, buddy).

Hi,

I'm posting this for a friend who does not have net access.
Anyway, she is looking to buy a program for creating crossword
puzzles.  She has an AT&T 386 with MS-DOS.  I called two computer
stores and had no luck.  I can't believe that this software does
not exist somewhere.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The computer tech people at the UofA's bookstore recommend throwing away
these plastic covers.  They claim that there _is_ a problem with static, and 
I believe it.  Whenever I get a new box of disks I remove all the covers, and 
quite often they will sort of stick together (I assume from a static charge).  
As long as you keep your disks in some sort of case or thier original card-
board box, I wouldn't worry too much about dust/dirt getting into the disks.

Can someone help me find a memory manager for the PC (486) that will go

fine up to there, but no higher. Why why why did we get all this memory (64Mb)

Changing the terminal type on the Unix server is pretty trivial (see
server/uw_tty.c). You would not need to be a UNIX guru to do this.

Changing the emulator on the PC end is not so easy as that is where the
emulation actually occurs. You may need to be a PC guru to do this.

I won't argue merits of word processors: I will second the motion to
go try thethem out. I like WFW 2.0 (for that matter I liked Word for DOS
and WFW 1.1 if you want a calibration!) based on the same kind of
comparison shopping. I did want to point out two things, though: (1) AMI
wasn't written by Lotus but bought by them: That may say something
about tech support, and future developments, but not about its
producers. (2) WFW 2.0 has a grammar checker built in. I forget who
wrote it: It was bought by MS as a product to integrate. I hate both
Grammatik (which I also have) and the built in checker: They try to
make documents with content sound like they came from the Harvard
Business School! They are amusing though, when you let them tell you
the reading level and other statistics for your beloved words...

When I worked repairing these PC we could sometimes add a second controller
and drive, sometimes it didn't work.  The only way to be sure is try it.  The
WD controller should have a jumper to make it a secondary controller.  I'm
not sure if they put those on the IDE controllers.

Not counting X11 I'm up to about 20 MB for my linux system.  That includes
man, mtools, GCC and GNU Emacs.  The only other stuff is stuff that I consider
core Unix, ie, grep find etc.

Don't you also need to load EMM386.EXE?  Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I
thought that to use the DEVICEHIGH feature you needed to have a memory manager
like EMM386 or QEMM loaded too.

You might try a company called Persoft(I don't have info on how to reach them,

they offer, Smarterm 240 and Smarterm 340, offer VT340 emulation(although
240's is less complete).  You might be able to use the 240 package, as I can't

(If you were erasing files from the WP51 directory you may just want to	
re-install the software).  However, you may want to make sure that you don't	have another keyboard layout selected other than the default.  Go to the 	setup key (shift+f1), Keyboard Layout (5), Original (6?).  Then try using	Home, Home, Up.  Hope this helps.
