In my beta version of windows nt there was stated that  the SCSI drivers nt would support
are also a TMC 850M.  I have a TMC 850 clone (more irqs than the original ) with rom version 6.0A.

I am able to install the nt booter, but after the choice of NT my systems hang with 
error    ..........0000069
I suppouse that's the point where the system changes to  protected mode, is that right?
I set the card to standard values ( irq 5 , rom at ca00, no 0 wait states), but have no success!

Does anyone know what's a  TMC 850M, what's the difference to a TMC 850 ?

Is there a modified (corrected ? ) version of Future Domain drivers?

Thanks in advance

Gerhard

	I kwow this might be a bit weird but I need to know if anybody out 
there that is using their PC as a dual NT/Unix box(I can't afford 2 High-end
PC's).  I'm currently running Consensys SVR4.0 release 1.3. I need a 
recommendation on a CD-ROM drive to use as well as the SCSI adapter.

	I haven't found any information about running a CD-ROM on Unix 4.0
but I might upgrade to 4.2 (or completely forget about it,unless I can find 
drivers for 4.0 with filesystem support).

	Both Microsoft and USL (for Unix 4.2) have a hardware compatibility
list and the common devices are:

CD-ROM

NEC CD-82
Pionner DRM-600
Sony CDU-541,CDU-6211,CDU-7211
Toshiba TXM-3201B

Adapters

Adaptec AHA-1540B,AHA-1542B,AHA-1640,AHA-1740
DPT PM2012B

	So, if somebody has already gone through this mess your help will be
appreciated as I don't want to spend my money on a combination that doesn't
work.

Reply-To: matt@CIS.Prime.COM

Is there any info on how/when to use libcmt.lib (the multi-threaded C library)
and libc.lib (non=multi-threaded)?

I have been using the libcmt.lib, (by virtue of the standard makefile) and
everything was fine until I tried to access errno.  If you do that two things
happen:
 (1) the linker starts whining about multiple definitions of variables
(one from libcmt.lib and the other from libc.lib).
 (2) errno remains resolutely stuck at 0.

So perusing <errno.h> I noticed that if _MT is #defined then errno is re-defined
to use a function _errno.  Presuming that _MT stood for multi-threaded I dutifully
rebuilt with /D_MT and that worked fine.

Is that safe/normal?  It certainly doesn't seem like it - if it was than I would
expect _MT to be defined as standard for the C compiler. 

(I am currently using the July version of NT)

There is a standalone package available for MS Windows 3.1, from the 
company that wrote the origional NetDDE code used in Windows For Workgroups.  
Cost is something like $250 per node, I think.  Contact  Wonderware Software 
Development Corporation, Irvine, California (714)727-3200.  

Supports NetBIOS networks.  There is a toolkit called NetDDE for VMS 
which is a software developers toolkit for writing applications under 
VMS connecting to the NetDDE running on a PC.

I've set up some systems running this packages, but don't know exactly 
how all the internals work.  I'm also running the WFW beta and have piddled
with that NetDDE interface.

With version 3.1 you get BC.EXE and BCW.EXE, both full blown Borland
(read professional version) IDE's. BC is DOS hosted and BCW is Windows
hosted. Very very nice. TCW no longer comes bundled with the package
as it's not really needed.

TCW is still available separately and the differences are mostly in
options and optimization. BCW does a much better job (so says
Borland.)

Yes, there is a limitation on the total number of handles, so you do need to
exercise caution. I also believe that the minimum allocation for GlobalAlloc
is like 4K, so even when allocating something smaller, 4K is reserved. A better
solution is to write a container malloc/free that GlobalAlloc's 4K chunks,
then doles those out, maintaining its own management for the 4K chunks. I
believe that Borland's routines may do some of this type of thing in malloc
and free.

Hi,

I have Turbo C++ for windows which comes with the Resources 
workshop tool.  When I load in the example .rc file steps.rc
from the owl examples stuff resources workshop compiles it
just fine. But if I make any modification that results in a file
it doesn't like I get the error 742 -- can't open windows.h.

In fact any rc file I write that leads off with this include
#include <windows.h> will work ok if it is very simple and
correct, but if there is an error, then even if I fix it so
the file is completely correct, I still get old 742.

I have set the directories option just fine in file preferences
and even start the program with the -i option that loads in
the proper include directories. Its just that syntax errors totally
unrelated to the include file generates this error that is impossible
to get rid of (except by removing the include). 

I'd appreciate any feed back. Please mail to
frazier@hawk.cs.ukans.edu.

Thanks a lot.

Does anyone know of any dialog box editors that specify dialog
templates in units of pixels rather that dialog base units?  We
are trying to build some dialog boxes that have no text in them,
but do contain some bitmap graphics.  When we specify things in
terms of dialog base units, our pixel measurements come out messed
up when we move to different resolution screens.

Also, with such a tool, we would need to be able to resource compile
these templates "incrementally" into the standard resource files, as
the application will include some dialog boxes and other resources
defined in the standard way...

I have just begun using it and I find that it does one thing well,
which is to set up a framework for you. But an experienced C++
programmer probably already has several applications to provide the
framework for the next application.

I found what may be a bug (but still might be my misuse of the
package.) I painted a dialog to serve as the main window for a small
test application and the application code that Protogen generated did
not successfully run. I received the classic error -5 indicating that
the dialog window could not be created.

After much fumbling around I looked at the calc sample application
that comes with application frameworks and found that Protogen does
not appear to use the dialog name correctly in the handling of the
dialog window.

Anyway, I changed the code by hand to match calc's mechanism, which
only took a couple of minutes, and everything worked fine. I went into
a second directory and, using everything I had learned about the
naming conventions to use for the icon and dialog, I regenerated a
fresh application. It still failed, so I don't think Protogen (version
2.2) handles dialog boxes as main windows all that well.

That said, I think it is a decent tool for those who are brand new to
C++ and need a frame work to get over the learning hump for those
first few apps. It may be worth the $49 in saved time alone. It may
also help for those apps which have a huge number of linked dialogs.
It will generate all the useful routines to handle the controls and
that can be pretty useful.

Well, the upgrade isn't that expensive ($40?) and now you have the
perfect excuse -- just ask them if being able to DEBUG is high on
their priority list. :-)

The upgrade is really worth it, particularly if you are using the
Windows IDE during development.  The Windows version of the IDE now
does all the same kinds of optimizations and such that the DOS version
did, instead of being a basically 'non-optimizing' compiler.

	1)	Relatively small programs; several thousand lines
		would probably be largest.
	2)	Ability to use arbitrary DLLs required.
	3)	Ability to create DLLs desired.
	4)	Ease of development is high priority, especially
		with regard to user interface code.  My time is
		precious and in short supply.
	5)	Cost of the package is important; the lower the
		better.
	6)	Royalty-free distribution required.
	7)	Execution speed is relatively low priority, as long
		as it isn't so bad that I can't stand to use the
		resulting applications.  (This is subjective, I know)
	8)	Ability to create Windows .HLP files is strongly
		desired.

Thanks for all the information you can give me.
