	this works on the IBM, but requires some knowledge of the operating
system.  (and good guessing about which of the character files is the
proper one -- I don't think they're saved under character names -- just
silly numbers...)

	It's really easy to create 30 characters and pool their gold then
delete them.

Subject:      Make money in BT I (if you don't mind a little cheating)

     Hi everyone, when I was a BT addict and desperate to finish it, I found
that the way characters are saved to disk is very easy to decode. I don't remem
ber exactly but as long as I can remember, when you open the file where a chara
cter "sleeps" the first you find it's his name, then you find its attributes,
then the experience, the gold , the items, and so on. You can make different
characters, write down their attributes and then edit the disk (it migth be
done with the Norton's DE). Then you can modify EVERYTHING you want. It's great
for making money, experience or getting special items. Also, the items are list
ed in order, they are 100 or 150 (I don't remember exactly) and if you find the
m and sort them in order you can give WATHEVER you want to your characters...

                         Hope you enjoy,

Subject: Demos and Shareware games

I have recently downloaded SWOTL into my HD.  However, I was unable to download
the ZIP file directly from my VM account to my hard drive, so I had to unzip
the file in VM first and then download it.  To my dismay, the VM version of
UNZIP does not have the -D option...so now I have all the files neccessary to
run the demo but not the right directories.  Could someone tell me what the
correct directories and files combinations to make the program work?  Also does
the demo just show screen shots like F15 III or does it let you play at least
one senario?  I would also like to know any other demo of good games that would
let me at least try the game out, not just show the screen shots.

Also, if anyone has any suggestions for shareware games or freeware games,
send me a list of your favorites.  I would like to try them out.  Thanks for
any informations.

P.S. Please e-mail any replies.  I would try to check this group as often as I
can.  Thanks again.

As the title says, I have a great bard's tale hint.

Once your characters get (at least) Mind Dragon AND Mind Blast, go to the
first tower and teleport to (I believe the coordinates are as follows, but
I haven't played the game in about a year) North 12 East 5 and Down -2 (ie.
get to the third floor).

There you will encounter 4 groups of 99 berserkers.  Whence you kill them,
most of your characters will advance at least one level.

P.S.  Sorry if the coordinates aren't right.

Hello all,

Any Falcon aces out there willing to give a newcomer a little advice?
I've played it a bit--my latest major accomplishment is being able to
consistently land at Captain level, so you can tell I'm no expert.

Anyway, my question is this--How on earth can you tell what the heck
your target designator is locked on to? For example, I always manage
to lock the box onto something that _looks_ like the target, but 96% of the
time, the @#$! thing has locked on to the ground about 10 feet in front
of the target. Is there any way to tell what I'm _really_ locked on to?

Sigh.

X-wing is *suppose* to come out around X-mas. And if you read through all the

Subject: TN3270 and Windows


I have a few questions about running TN3270 in DOS and under
Windows.

1) What TN3270 package is everyone on internet using? (In DOS and
under Windows.)

2) Are you running WINPKT.COM when you are running under WIndows?

3) Is there a TSR version of TN3270 other than MicroTN which will
allow DOS users to jump between applications?

4) Is everyone have as much trouble as I am with running TN3270
under Windows?

Here is our situation.  At Ryerson we have started converting all
our users to Ethernet connections to our backbone to access the IBM
mainframes.  Some of these users had CXI or IRMA type cards and
they would like the same functionality.  Eg. run Wordperfect and
3270 emulation at the same time.  We have been able to give some of
the users MicroTN (which comes with Clarkson Universities version
of Telnet) but the more advanced users would like more
functionality than MicroTN offers.  Eg. FTP without getting out of
MicroTN.

Here is where Windows fits in.

We tested WIndows 3.1 and Clarksons TN3270 on a IBM machine (55sx)
and it all worked well so we gave it to some users.  They had clone
386 and 486 machines and they had varying results.  Some user would
have to run WINPKT.COM to be able to get TN3270 to run under
Windows and others would not.  Everyone had problems with a certain
keystroke combination not working.  We assigned PA2 to the Ctrl+End
key combination and when users are in Windows it seems the key
combination is intercepted and does nothing.  When running in DOS
the key combination works.  The network cards are Racal Interlan
NI5210's and the machines are local clones.

How do you run multiple TN3270 session with WINPKT.COM?

Any help would be much appreciated.

YES!  This is the least understood/most misunderstood thing on the nets.  A
simple, very lock step list of instructions for subscribing, unsubscribing, and

Subject:      Listserv information

This is in response to your posting about confusion in how to use the
listserv feature on the Internet.

I'm fairly new to using listserv's, having signed on for the first time
this past summer.  My impression of most of the documentation for e-mail
and listservers is that they are very structured and not very useful or
they are very rambling and not very useful.

The introductory information that I got from the EDTECH listserver is
notable as an exception to that impression.  The nice touch was that there was
an example for each task or command.

I find that I don't use many of the features of e-mail because what I've read
 just isn't very clear.  Too often the intructions assume too much knowledge
on the part of the user.  Innovations that are inconvenient are unused.
Instructions that give an example, like "tell listserv@bigiron.edu sub list-l
John Doe" are easier to understand than those that say "send a subscribe
command to Bigiron" and list the syntax elsewhere with the usual obscure
references to userid and node.

Would a monthly posting of a guide be helpful?  Perhaps developing a standard
for information posted would work, so that the instructions that come with
the posting are adequate in the first place, would be better.  You could
not post those that didn't contain adequate instructions.  I assume since
this is moderated you have to clear anything that gets posted.

That's my rambling and incoherent off the cuff response.  Your instructions
 were fine.  If all posted instructions regarding lists and e-mail followed
your example you might not get as many administrative problems...? r.j.k

There is a good collection of essays from MIT Press--deeper and a bit more
 technical--but I don't have the pub info.
I have found the following to be quite informative:

1) Virtual Reality, Howard Rheingold - 1991, ISBN 0-671-77897-8 (pbk)
   Introductory text covering the history, technology, social impact, etc.
2) Virtual Reality: theory, practice, and promise / edited by Sandra K. Helsel
   and Judith Paris Roth - 1991, ISBN 0-88736-728-3
   This is a collection of essays ranging from general VR overviews to the
   metaphysics of VR
3) And of course William Gibson's "Neuromancer" (the science fiction cyberpunk
   bible) is a must read for anyone studying VR.

Also, I am currently writing an instrucitonal HyperCard stack on VR that you
may be interested in.  If you would like a beta copy for review I would be
happy to send you one when it is available.
