There is a "workaround" though.
What you do is to create batch files to launch your dos programs.
That is essentially what the DOS Room does anyway. Put these batch
files in your \geoworks\world directory, and voila', you have
bypassed the Welcome screen.

As a space-saving measure, I moved all of the files and directories under
		c:\geoworks\document\
			to
		d:\geoworks\document\
I did this because my "d" drive is compressed 8:1 with Stacker, and is
therefore a good place to keep data (especially graphical) files.
Anyway, the "document directory" button still points to:
		c:\geoworks\document\
I would like to change it , if possible, so that the button points to:
		d:\geoworks\document\
Has anybody done this?

Thanx in advance,

The only fax-modem whose fax part is currently supported under PC/GEOS is
the Complete Communicator.  I don't know if that's the same as your

When all else fails, try the "Postscript compatable" printer(yes, that's its
name).  I assume it just creates the fonts from scratch, ignoring any internal
fonts inside the printer, thus being able to work with all postscript
printers(I could be wrong on this, though).  I know it works on a DEC
printserver 40, as I used it just this afternoon.

A company in Oregon which, as reported by a GeoWorks employee, is proficient
at writing for the GEOS environment has released some software for the GEOS
environment.  The programs include:

Colorizer for GEOS, which allows you to change the color of your window border
as well as the work space within the window.  Also is a reset button which
will return to the system defaults if you get your colors in bad shape.  The
price that was posted on America Online was $14.95.

Clocks for GEOS, which consists of three clocks.  Two analog and one digital
clock with the digital having an alarm and stopwatch feature.  The clocks
can be icons at the bottom of the screen and still display the time.  Posted
price was $14.95.

GEOS Kids & Vegas Games.  This was reported as a package deal temporarily.
The package consists of two diskettes of games including childrens games,
which can only be appreciated by children, and some casino games such as
blackjack, slot machines, etc.  The price which was posted was $29.95.


   The name of the company offering these programs is Certified Software.
Their phone number is 1-800-582-4455.  Please call and inquire about these
prices as I haven't checked them myself.  I read them on a posted note on 
America Online so I cannot personally vouch for the validity of the pricing.
The post I read indicated that the programs worked very well with the other
apps in the environment.

It turns out GEOWORKS is getting some good press. I've seen it mentioned in the
NY Times (as a ref), and now it was mentioned in _Nation's Business_ put out by
the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, in the April issue (p54-55).
Here's the paragraph of interest...

"Nevertheless, if you want to keep using older machines, other GUI's for DOS
besides Windows, most notably PC/GEOS from GeoWorks in Berkeley, Calif., may be
for you. GEOS and its applications, collectively called GeoWorks, give you a
true GUI that operates efficiently within the limits of DOS. The screen is
atytractive, and the program works smoothly with multiple applications.
Available applications are a writing program, designer, and desktop organizer,
but many more are on the way."

The writers of the article also liked OS/2 and Windows 3.1 and looked forward
to Windows NT.
They did point out that Windows isn't an OS, but a DOS interface.
There was also a picture of Pro, but no screen displays.

First of all, the minimal install did what it was supposed to do.  The program
comes right out and says that a reinstallation will not delete any "extra"
files from a previous installation.  This is done ao you don't reinstall and
lose such things as setup(although it does lose at least some of that), your
documents, etc.(What if they had it delete the "extra" documents that you had
installed?  It might end up taking your important individual ones along.)
As for removing files, there are ones which can be removed, you just have to
know which ones.  First off, I've removed all but the FULLMOON background(I
sort of like that one) from that directory.  You can erase any you don't want.
 Also, any printer drivers/mouse drivers/video drivers which you don't use can
 be removed.  But watch out with this one... the name of the printer file
 might not exactly match the printer it is driving(because so many printers
 have the same codes).  The same could hold true for video and mouse as well.
 The excess clip art/templates/etc. can all be removed if you don't want them.
  You can also feel free to erase any applications you don't use(make sure you
  don't want it, though).  Some applications(ex: Tetris, Geocomm, Geowrite)
  have more than one file/directory which could be erased for this.
  Finally, you can get rid of the DOS handlers for versions of DOS you don't
  use(thus, I could get rid of the DOS3 and DOS4 handlers).
I hope this info can help you.

have had absolutely no problems.  I use the VT100 terminal emulation, and at
school we use DecStations running Ultrix with our own interface modelled after
MIT's Athena system

Folks,

Since I use Macintoshes and NeXTs daily at work, I'm used to using 
the x, c, and v keys with either the Command or Clover key for
cutting, copying, and pasting, respectively. I'd like to incorporate
the same thing into my Geos environment (running 1.2 on a 286 with 1
Meg RAM). Can this be done? I figured I could use the Control key
combinations, but I didn't know if this would cause any problems. 

The one that might be tricky is this: I run Procomm through the DOS 
programs window, and I often use Emacs, so I need control-c to be
interpreted correctly while I'm using Procomm. If I redefine the keys
(assuming it is possible), will this blow cookies? 

Email or Post. Since I'm not a programmer, an answer written in
English is important. :-)

To follow up, my contrived prototype (as mentioned above) appears to
