I don't know which particular version of BASIC you're using, but look up
the fre() command.  I think that it can show you the fre stack space.  Also,
nested use of GOSUB and subs/functions (if available) will use up lots of
stack space.

Hope this helps,

You don't give a whole lot of information, such as the hardware resources
available (RAM, method of connection (direct connect?  modem?  What baud?
what DOS programs? etc...), but short of spending major bucks on a Novell
Communications server or some such, you might check out DesqView/386.

people's standards.  But its fast (faster than anything I've seen, for

The fact that the orig poster asked for something more "sophisticated"
is the tip off (*).  He wants a fancy-schmancy user interface, and is
willing to spend a significant portion of his life looking at an
hourglass cursor to get it.

Get my drift?

I have a quirk for  DR DOS 6. I have SuperStore drivers loaded. When I do a
DIR, it reports 17,727,488 bytes free on my hard drive, which is the same
figure XDIR gives me. However, when I do CHKDSK, it claims I have 30,408,704
free. Adding CHKDSK's number to the used space number it adds up to *about* the
total amount of space it reports for my whole disk. Free memory is also not the
same for MEM and CHKDSK.

Have you got DOS5?  The DOSSHELL will do that, but you'll need to use

  Jim Knepley, MICHAEL RONN MARCELAIS, dave reimer f and Paul English
comment on Howard Harvey's "FORMATting diskettes with Super PC-Kwik
enabled" problem. Michael and Paul suspect that the problem is related
to media-change detection on Howard's system.

  Howard reported this problem earlier and I could reproduce it on my
system (see attached posting from comp.os.msdos.misc). I do not think
the problem is related to media-change detection, because I have no
other problems with diskettes and the media-change detection tests in
the DR DOS 6.0 manual run successfully on my system.

  The Super PC-Kwik cache sometimes gives strange behavior. Recently I
had about 1.6MB free space (reported by DIR or CHKDSK (I forgot which))
on a 1.44MB diskette! Just flushing the cache with "superpck /f" solved
this "problem".

  As asked in the attched posting: Perhaps the Novell/DRI people could
comment on this.

  Comments from other are of course also welcome.

  First the good news: I think your "problem" is an innocent feature of
the DR DOS 6.0 FORMAT and SUPERPCK combination. But then again: There
may be danger ahead (see the end of my posting).

  I had some problems reproducing your problem. I started with a
never-formatted diskette (fresh from the box) and did repeated
"FORMAT B: /U" operations, but could not get it to fail. Then I
completely filled the (now already formatted) diskette by
"XCOPY C: B:" (while in the DRDOS directory) and then did a
"FORMAT B: /U". Now FORMAT indeed reported

"1,457,664 bytes total disk space.
 1,345,024 bytes available on disk."

"CHKDSK B:" also reported the same information and (PC Tools 6.0)
DISKFIX reported

"There are multiple copies of the File Allocation Table
 on your disk and at least one copy has been corrupted."

  A subsequent Norton DT (Disk Test, both DISK and FILE test) and NDD
(Norton Disk Doctor, including "test ... for Defective Sectors") gave no
errors and a subsequent CHKDSK gave again the normal "1,457,664 bytes
available on disk.". So, like you, I suspected the Super PC-Kwik disk-cache.

  To cut a very long story short: Now the solution/workaround: After
FORMAT reports the wrong number of "bytes available on disk.", just do :

remove and re-insert diskette and/or
"SUPERPCK /F" (flush cache) and/or
"SUPERPCK /D" (disable cache (does a flush)) and optionally "SUPERPCK /E".

  My suspicion is that the in-memory copy of the FAT is not quite
correct, directly after a "FORMAT B: /U". Flushing the cache or removing/
re-inserting the diskette causes DR DOS to read a fresh copy of the FAT
from the diskette.

  Other notes:

- Sometimes (always?) I also got an error from CHKDSK when the number of
  "bytes available on disk." was wrong :
  "Errors detected /F option required to update disk.
  [blank line]
  720 lost clusters in 215 chains."

- Sometimes the number of "bytes available on disk." was different:
  1,346,560 or 1,346,536.

- I could not reproduce the problem with (PC Tools 6.0)
  "PCFORMAT B: /DESTROY" ("/DESTROY" is like the "/U" of the DR DOS 6.0
  FORMAT).

- I used DR DOS 6.0 without any of the updates, i.e. the pre-Dec'91
  version.

  The only thing which worries me is that if the in-memory FAT is indeed
wrong, then it is perhaps possible that the diskette becomes corrupted
if files are written to it *before* any of the above solutions/
workarounds have been performed. Perhaps the Novell/DRI people could
comment on this scenario and could explain what is "wrong" with FORMAT
and/or SUPERPCK in the first place.

  Hope this helps.

(Datastorm refuses to acknowledge that I might have found a real problem
with their software, so I throw myself at the mercy of the net...)

Using Procomm Plus for Dos (under DOS 5.0, with a 386/25/Phoenix BIOS),
if I do a _second_or_subsequent_ Zmodem upload (that is, sending data to
my PC from a Unix system vi "sz" ), my machine locks solid at the very start
or at the very end of that upload. It hangs so solidly that even cntrl-alt-del
doesn't work; I need to hit the Big Red Button to reboot. Unfortunately, it
happens only about 40% of the time, so I can't reproduce the problem at will
every time (like when I'm trying to explain it to their techdroids).

The hang *never* happens on the first transfer of a PCPlus session, nor does
it ever happen in the *middle* of an upload...only at the very beginning or
very end (when the upload status box is flashing the 'completed' message).
Strangely, it happens both under Windows and not (making it even odder that
c-a-d doesn't work - even Windows must be out of the loop).

I've tried all the obvious things - reloading the executable, trimming my
autoexec and config.sys to the bare minimum (they're pretty vanilla as it
is), and changing serial ports (one of my ports has an 8250 chip, the other
a 16550AFN). No luck. Any thoughts/experiences/ruminations out there? Any
and all speculations are appreciated...

Thanks...David

If I remember well, the new EMM386.exe is like the new SMARTDRIVE for window 
3.1 (SMARTDRV.EXE version 4.0).  What I mean is that it is now an executable
file, instead of a device.  That means that the "device=" statement in the
config.sys file is not necessary anymore, since it is an executable file.

i.e. Why you don't need the "device=" anymore is because it is not
a device anymore...

I spent a few hours this weekend using the new version of Paradox with Quattro Pro for Windows. QPW includes a new feature, Desktop Database, that makes it easy to directly access Paradox files. It worked beautifully. I keep portfolio data in Paradox and import it into QPW spreadsheets to analyze it in a number of ways.

I had absolutely no problems with the new software. When I used Pdox40 on the Pdox35 files, they read in without problems. When I saved the files, they were converted automatically to the new format. The old format was called "compatability" format. I suspect there is some way to save in the old format, but I didn't investigate.

If you like pdox and Quattro pro, you'll LOVE QPW.

The .SET files, typically in the executable directory (e.g. c:\wp51) must
also be RW.  I don't have a manual handy (no, I don't have a pirated copy;
it's a site license), but I think there's a switch for this too.  /U? /S?
