Date: 23 Jan 93 01:52:17 GMT
Article-I.D.: pdxgate.6739
Organization: /etc/organization

Help !!!,

I've just set up MINIX 1.5 on my PC-AT..and I'm having some problems:

o  When setting up the /etc/ttys file, I want to have the extra terminal
   hanging off of /dev/tty2...so in /etc/ttys I have:
	
	100  (console)
	001  (modem)
	102  (terminal)

   The problem I'm having is that when I stty in /etc/rc, it will only 
   set the baud rate, not the bits, etc (so the bits keep coming out 5, instead
   of 8)

o  Secondly, I haven't quite got the kernel re-compiled, I'm having a problem
   in /usr/src/tools when trying to:

	asld -0 menu menu.s menu1.s $l/libc.a $l/end.s

   I get errors that appear as:

	menu1.s, 18: too big
	trp.s, 95: too big
	make error: 256 

   I've tried chmem to increase the memory size of asld, make and sh...
   I've also tried:

	make -n >script
	sh < script

   and I get the same error !!

Please help, if you can....

Mike

Which ones? Have you reported them to the net or me?
It's easy to say that the compiler has bugs, but if you do not tell what
the bugs are then you cannot expect them to be fixed or that the
compiler decision is going to te reconsidered.

I challenge you to send a bug list to the net to prove your statement!

Subject: estdio, MacMinix.

Will estdio work on M68K system? I recall hearing from one person he had
it working, but that it was not officially support/no instructions.

The last I heard, the next update to macminix will use the comm toolbox
for the windows, thus you get cut/paste and scroll back.

As for file IO, I had a 10 line hack that simply caused MacMinix to call
the Mac device driver rather than using a file for the fileSystem. I will
try it again and see if it speeds things up. Last time I tried it was on
a mac+ with a floppy, BIG damger hear, since it calls the driver directly
and thus a bad sector no will trash the mac part of the disk. Then again
it might be faster, and I have minix on a HD by itself.

More later...

Warning!
Don't put the library element src/lib/syscall.kr/write.s

I observed that the file in this subdirectory are not packed
as library elements. Therefore before I archived them I
changed their .s extension to .x and then created their
.s extension using the libpack command as:
    libpack <write.x >write.s

Now in response to the lorder command, I got this error messages

Memory usage on a 1Mb ST is a real stink...

I suppose you mean the memory sizes for cpp/cem/as/ld, and not chmem?
I Think some 220Kb for cem is usually sufficient.
  Since you have a harddisk, you could try the following:
- Usual hd setup I used is 1 small root partition (1Mb~2Mb),
  and the rest for /usr.
- I understand from your description you haven't successfully
  recompiled Minix at all yet, but you should be able to use
  the harddisk. Setup the big partition as /usr, and leave the small
  one empty, mounting it as /tmp
- THROW OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE FROM YOUR RAM DISK.
  Try to reduce it to something like 200Kb or less.
- Now you should have enough ram for the recompilation.

> Did anyone succeed following the insuruction in the manual?
- way back.... 400Kb for the RAM disk is too much anyway.

> I did not want to execute them in the background every time.  
- I don't understand this remark.. sorry.

Hi networker,

Actually, copying through the clipboard is the worst way to transfer files. Theorically it is possible but
practicaly it creates a lot of strange results. I think that you'd get better results if you save your
document in one application and then you open this document in the other application.

Good Work

        There was talk about Windows hanging in start up. I have a
        problem Windows hanging in closing. After pressing that final
        Enter screen goes black and mouse cursor stays on screen. Nothing
        else happens. Then I press ctrl-alt-del and Windows tolds that
        aplication has stopped responding and to press Enter to close it.
        Then it says that it can not exit from windows so after pressing a
        key it reboots computer.

        Configuration is almost clean. After major HD failure I have not
        yet installed all my things. Only windows and QEMM 6.03 <--problem?
        I have not tried with himem and emm386 for some reason.
        
        So what could be wrong? Before HD failure everything worked fine.

        Thanks,

Organization: University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK NE1 7RU

I'm currently running Windows 3.1 on a 33Mhz 386SX with a 1MB Trident
SVGA card. I'm using the Windows 3.1 drivers that came with the card (final
release dated May 1992) but display handling seems slow compared with
my friend's 25Mhz 386SX with ET4000.

Is this just because the ET4000 is a faster chip than the Trident, or
that the Et4000 drivers are better, or what? Which are generally regarded
to be the best drivers for the Trident card?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Organization: California University of Pennsylvania, California, PA

Heah,
	Anyone know how to get a dialog box to popup in a Windows 3.1 DLL?

	I'm using Turbo C++ for Windows 3.1 and Windows 3.1 and I'm trying to
develop a neat little File Manager Extension.  I've tried to do it two
completely different ways:
	
		Programming only in C (with file extension of .C to force C
		only compilation).  
		Result:  Windows API function CreateWindow() fails, reason
		unknown.
	
		Programming in C++ with Object Windows Libraries.
		Result:  OWL displays the all to framiliar "Error: -5"
		(EM_INVALIDWINDOW).



I am sure that the dialog reesource exists and that I'm using the correct
module handle.  A .DLL example that pops up a modal dialog box  would be most
helpful (OWL preferred).  The only examples I've found on my disk poped up a
plain old window...sure I could make my dialog box dynamicly but I would prefer
make a template.

Any comments (even shots in the dark) are welcome.  More details available on
request.

For those that are curious this Extension will include such features as:
	BMP/PCX/GIF/JPG viewer (That multitasks properly!)
	A text file viewer (that can handle any file size!)
	A utility to change file(s) date and time to user specified d/t
	Maybe a seperate launch menu that would mirror program manager groups?

Hello and greetings from Ames IA

I have a slight problem getting a shareware game to run as well using windows
as it does in DOS.  Note I am not trying to run a DOS app windowed. I am just
using the GUI to execute it.

System: Windows 3.1 Enhanced Mode 386DX-33

Application: Scorched Earth Ver 1.23, a slightly additive lob that artillery
game. Runs fine from DOS.  Ver 1.1 I had no problem with running from windows.

Symptoms: Slight visual display differences, ie slight screen flicker, graphics
are not as nice, game runs slower, and the game will take over for human
players (just continuous shooting).

Solutions I have tried: Running foreground exclusive, increasing the amount of
processor time to 10000 ie exclusive(i guess), locking XMS and EMS, retaining
video memory.  Just about everything you can do with a PIF that I know.

A solution I have found is to execute another DOS shell (command.com) then run
scorched earth and all is fine, but this is a round about solution when using
windows IMO.

Anyone have a solution to this problem?  If so, Please post it or Email to me.

  Sorry I don't remember exactly how I did it, but the results

Dear Windows users:

The newly published "PC Magzine" (Feb.9, 93, pp. 319-340) and "PC Computing"
(Feb. 93, pp. 213-234) have a special collection (20 pages) of "OS/2 100 Ways."
This is part of a whole new campaign before IBM introduces OS/2 2.1 in the very
near future (probably around March/April).

It clearly explains the endless possibilities of using OS/2 to improve 
productivity, including
thorough explanations of the advantage of OS/2 as an operating system for your
PC and plainty of OS/2 usage, tips, and tricks, many of which I myself didn't
know until I read it although I have been using OS/2 since last June.

I highly recommend that you find a copy and read through the story.  It will
help you raise productivity when using the computers.
After reading the articles, I believe, you'll be definitely sure that OS/2 is
really the operating system for your PC in the '90s.

Best regards,
