IBM's plan was to make sure that clone makers could make clones, but only
if they licensed the bus arcitecture.  They hoped that it would become
very popular among third party hardware manufacturers, and they would
have some control of the market this time, and thus get a larger piece of
the pie.  The delay you noted is more due to the vendors waiting until
the market was big enough to bother with IBM directly, and their licenseing 
fees.

Bad advice.  This is simply not true, for at least two reasons.  First off,
McAffee's product is a scanner, and there are limitations to what a scanner
can detect.

Secondly, there is a well-known bug in V93 (and V91?) of MacAffee's scanners
that results in an inability to find all infected files if there is a
widespread infection.  No one should trust MacAffee as their sole
anit-viral these days.

Lastly, let me remind folks that both MacAffee and F-Prot are shareware.
The registration fee for MacAffee is quite high; The author of
F-Prot permits folks to use it for free (no registration) for personal
use.  The commercial registration fee is extremely reasonable ($1.00
per PC per year, $0.75 per PC per year for educational institutions).

Actually, I have been wondering if there is a known problem between NCSA
telnet (DOS) and emacs.  I know of two different people who are having this
same problem and others, but only with NCSA's telnet.  

Is this a known problem?  Is there a fix?

The machine I'm entering this on has DOS 3.3 in ROM. If I
set the config properly, it'll boot from the ROM even though 
there's an HD (or even if there's a floppy in the A drive!)

It's Phoenix BIOS.

I believe that support for what you want has to be in the BIOS 
or it won't work. Though I could easily be wrong. Don't forget
that at boot time all "expansion ROMs" are checked to see if
they have code that has to be installed then. Such code can override
the BIOS.

I too had trouble with Wing Commander 2 under DR-DOS 6.0.  I had the
April '92 update installed.  After trying just about everything
else, I found that it was the updated version of SSTOR.SYS that
was causing WC2 to crash.  I put the original October '91 version
of just that file back on my disk and WC2 works fine!  I have not
tried the December '91 update version of SSTOR.SYS.

Weeeellll,

The geometry you are getting is simply a translation from the number of
blocks reported by the drive in a read capacity command.

You MAY can get by with re-formatting the drive, but there is a
possibility that the drive has a HUGE flaw map inside for some reason. 
I'm not familiar with that drive in particular, but the WD FASST2 card
comes with some utilities from CDP that will let you compose and write
SCSI commands.  The best ticket maybe to download the TM from Maxtor's
BBS, and send the appropriate mode commands and re-format from a low
level utility.

Alternately you can probably send it off somewhere.  You could also have
a bad platter/head in there that in fact GIVES you only half the disk.

It depends on the size of your "BASICA."

If it is over 80Kb, I cannot explain.

But if it is below that size, it means that it is really an
IBM Basica, which heavily depends on Cassette Basic (CBASIC)
routines that true blues have in ROM. I am not aware of any
IBM compatibles that had CBASIC in ROM. They are provided
with GW-BASIC which is ROM independent.

Some GW-BASICs were provided under the "BASICA" name (maybe
on Compaqs), to provide compability with IBM. Also "BASIC"
used to simply call "BASICA." On IBM's PC-DOS however BASIC
was independent of BASICA, although it depended on CBASIC
ROM routines too.

  I have had one of these for a little over a week.  I got mine from
ABS Computer Technologies.  It's on sale now - 386/40 w/4MB and 64K
cache for $298.  When I got it, it didn't work at first.  I reseated
some of the chips and it started working.  Also, the manual shows the
jumpers for the cache size select backwards.  (It came with the jumpers
in the right place).

With PD, I can distribute the program and source as part of my own program
without any problems. With freeware (most of the time) I still have to get 
the permission from the author to distribute his/her program & source code.
(Unless stated that I can distribute it whatever I want).
For example if I want to include a UUDECODE/ENCODE program as part of my
own program then I would look for a PD implementation first since I can
do whatever I want with the program/source code.

Your QEMM.SYS could use a bit more definition.
EMM386.SYS should be loaded in place of QEMM.SYS

I'd say you still have a bit of work to do with your CONFIG.SYS &

That many huh?

I'm also a shareware author (RABIRTH, a BBS utility). I mucked up the

such a personal cheque. Being the kind of guy I am :-), I sent it back, with the

the proper cash/bank draft. Luckily he was. However, 1.5 months ago, someone
else did the same - I've heard _nothing_ from him, via electronic mail or post.
Okay, it took a month for it to get there and back in January, but 1.5 is
stretching it..    Good thing I'm putting a new key system in the next version

not run in OS/2.  Is there an option at bootup that will allow the
user to boot into DOS rather than OS/2 so that you _can_ run 
those programs that use their own memory management?

The more I hear about OS/2, the more I want it. (And I don't even
have a PC yet!)

I am looking for comparisions between the three modems listed in the subject.   
I have a gateway 2000 telepath and am seeing if it might be better to get an  
external version of one of the other two.  In Computer shopper they list the  
trasmit rate for the first two at 14.4k but the telepath at 9600.  Also, they  
list the modem speed for the telepath at 2400.  Can anyone tell me what this  
means? 

I'm also looking for stories about the LightCom144FB by lightning because I am  
looking for the best price and it states in CS that it is MAC/PC/UNIX  
compatible.  Any help is greatly appreciated.
