I'm looking for a program that does a context switch for dos applications.

I'm in search of a program that will allow me to generate a form (multi-page)
and then a second package that will allow users on our net to fill out their
own copy of the form and store it for later revision and for collection by me.

This program needs to be easy to use, from the users standpoint, and hopefully
saved in ascii format.

I've looked at the stuff on Simtel and not found a suitable program.

Please E-mail if anyone has seen anything like this.

Hi!
I've been having some problems using 4DOS as my shell and then using
MSC.  If I use the SHELL line in config.sys to load 4DOS instead of
COMMAND.COM, the PWB cannot find any executable files, such as nmake and
therefore cannot compile my program.
However, if I change to using COMMAND.COM (No other changes at all),
everything works fine.
Also, it works if I use COMMAND.COM as my shell, and load 4DOS afterwoods,
and with 4DOS as my shell, the PWB does not work running under windows3.1
either.

Any clues anyone?

Users have been complaining about the lack of Geos support.  Glad to see
a new program for Geos.  Anyways, I just want to bring it up that we should
all use a naming convention for Geos programs.  It's tough to find Geos
related programs if they are named aimlessly.

Like most Windows program, they have WINTREK.ZIP, etc.  We should all
name our Geos programs as GEOxxxxx.ZIP, where xxxxx identifies the program.

Hope all of you will do it.

I'll add a pet peeve of my own (and also invite workarounds):

All launchers made by the launchmaker are also in the "EXPRES MENU",
submenu "STARTER" (or something like that). So you could launch
directly from f.e. GeoWrite a dos app. (ok, you also can switch via
Expres menu to geomanager, and lauch directly from the world directory)

Another advantage is, you don`t have to change you geos.ini :-)

Having recently upgraded my '286 to 4mb of RAM, I decided a few minutes ago to
see how high I could make Perf's "Swap Mem" meter go.  [Okay, so I'm sadistic]

Opened GeoWrite and GeoDraw, and started loading in every file I could find
that was of decent size.  Got up to about 1.4mb of swap and got a handles
warning.  That's 1.4mb of at least 3mb worth of available XMS.

So, presuming I want to use more swap memory, do I need to increase my
handles, or just open larger files?  Does opening a file consume a set number
of handles, or do larger files require more handles to be opened?  What do
these handles do anyway?  Should I seek psychiatric help?  Do I have too
much RAM?

Babbling inanely [as usual],

Help!!

Here lately I've been printing all my GEOS stuff to a postscript file and  
porting it over to the NeXT computers at my college in order to laser  
print them.  My question is which postscript setting is the best to use in  
GEOS.  Right now I have it set on the first one in the list that supports  
postscript, but this one has problems with some of the fonts and graphics  
that have been imported into GEOS (i.e. .PCX files from other drawing  
packages).  If there is anyone out there who has experimented with this  
set-up, any help that you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Greg!

 > Thomas Wachsmann's shareware analog clock for Geos.  Very cute, but I
 > had a similar problem to Shag's - the clock was obscured for a moment by
 > another window, and when it reappeared the hands had stopped.

I had already posted the bugfix for that problem, maybe it was lost.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problems with Clock Version 0.9 from Thomas Wachsmann:
First of all the fix for this bug:
  Search UHR.GEO or CLOCK.GEO for the following bytes (all in hex)
    A5 00 C3 00 00 00   (they are at file-offset 05D0)
  replace with
    A5 00 B8 01 00 C3
  That's it !
Now, for the curious, the explanation for the bug:
This is a temporary bug. :-) If you wait long enough, it will go away. When the
clock-window is redisplayed by restarting the clock- application after shut-
down, the program will wait anywhere from one sixtieth second to 65535 sixtieth
seconds (about 18 minutes) before it starts moving the hands. I just forgot to
load the register that specifies this delay. The above fix will load it with
'1', so the clock will start to work normally after one sixtieth second (which
is, by the way, the smallest clock-tick in PC/GEOS).

Changing the default colors in CLOCK.GEO or UHR.GEO:
The colors are at the following file-offsets (all in hex):
  0241: hour-hand
  0251: minute-hand
  0261: second-hand
  0265: clock-face
  0267: the little lines for the twelve hours
For monochrome or CGA-displays you should only use 0 or 15 as color.

Now some 'real' patches:
Changing the window-background-color, that can't be changed in the
  configuration: offset 0D84 for UHR.GEO and offset 0D78 for CLOCK.GEO
Changing the aspect ratio of the display:
  at offset 0D8E for UHR.GEO and offset 0D82 for CLOCK.GEO use
    96 for VGA-display (default value),
    6B for EGA-display,
    61 for HGC-display,
    3E for CGA-display.
  This will correct the distorted display on non-VGA-displays.
  I will add an automatic correction to the final version, but right now
  I have no idea how to do that...

PLEASE DO NOT DISTRIBUTE MODIFIED VERSIONS OF CLOCK.GEO OR UHR.GEO, EXCEPT FOR
THE BUG-FIX-PATCH ! You should instead include this message in the
distribution-archive.

Thanks for the positive reactions to my programs,
   Thomas

Thanks for the help -- I must erase those buttons.  Here's a 
suggestion for the GeoWorks people -- why not have an instalation
option by which we can install only the Advanced Workspace... 
forgetting the lower levels and the Welcome Screen.  Of course, they'd 
have to include some sort of "L_Maker".
 
> ou also can put appliances in the World dir, but why? 
 
I just found it interesting that the File Cabinet appliances openned
as a resizable Application when booted from the GeoManager.  All the 
other appliances boot as "full-screen" -- for this reason, some might
choose to use this as an alternative file manager to GeoManager.
 
And it also makes one feel as though he has more applications to run 
<sigh>  Where's the SDK ? :-(
