Subject: NEED TSR TO TRACK Q & A's...HELP!
Date: 14 Aug 92 21:18:24 GMT
Organization: Beckman Instruments, Inc.

Hi

I am looking for a TSR that will allow me to enter a topics and then allow
me to enter text related to the topics. 

example:

	TOPIC......................................

	TOPIC TEXT.................................
	TOPIC TEXT.................................
	TOPIC TEXT.................................
	TOPIC TEXT.................................
	TOPIC TEXT.................................
	TOPIC TEXT.................................

In xbase lingo the topic text would be a memo field (allows free from text
entry).

I also want the software to be able to allow me to search in three ways:

1. Search topics only for a string I enter.
2. Search all related text for a string I enter.
3. Search both topics and related text.

Next I would like the software to show me a list of all topics that the
search string appeared in, and allow me to click on or press enter on
the topic ...at which time the related text would be displayed.


Does anyone know where I can get this utility (anonymous FTP).

				Thanks
				RLMeyering

Yes, try running Norton Disk Doctor first.  Also get a newer version
of the utilities if you can.  I think the most current is 6.01.

Dayna also sells a LocalTalk card and software that puts a PC on a Mac
network with full access to servers and printers. I don't know if the
software is sold seperately or if it supports Ethernet cards.

Farallon has their PhoneNet Talk software which supports LocalTalk and
Ethernet cards (3Com for sure) and provides access to Appleshare servers
and AppleTalk printers.

If you keep the IIIsi on LocalTalk, I would replace Liasson with
LaserBridge from Sonic Systems because it is a simple bridge rather than a
router and uses far less CPU cycles (or so I'm told).

Better yet, get an Extended Systems ethernet card for the IIIsi. This card
supports EtherTalk and IPX (in case you ever install a Novell network).
Combine this with the Frallon software and 3Com board (as mentioned above) in
your PC(s) for a really good high-performance solution.

This sounds too good to be true. I would bet that the price doesn't
include any memory, and they are expecting to make their money on
the memory sales. They will probably also try to get you to upgrade
other stuff (floppy drives, vidio board, etc.) as well.

$150 for the motherboard is a good price, but don't buy any extras
without doing some price checking.

Actually, I don't think it makes much difference which you use. None of
these boards have all the necessary drivers for SVGA. They all work equally
well for VGA, and they all have some limited SVGA support.

>What's GCR?  Anyone?

Group Coded Recording.  It is the way the data is stored on the disk.

Bits stored on a floppy are stored as magnetic transitions:
1 for a change from n-s to s-n, and zero for no change.  The '1' transitions
are also used to keep the bit clock in sync, hence you must have at least one
'1' in every N bits, where 100/N is the percentage variance in disk rotation
speed you are willing to tolerate.  Usualy about 3 or 4.
Also, start of data and header blocks are marked by a series of 8 or more ones,
followed by a zero bit to mark the start of the first byte.  This syncs the
clock, and marks the byte boundaries.

Hence, you must encode data to be stored on a floppy in a form that does not
have large runs one ones, or more thatn a certain number of zeros in a row.
GCR does this by encoding each nybble of data as a set of 5 bits.  I have
not the code handy, but it is chosen such that there is at least enough
zero's to ensure no long runs of ones, and zeros carfully placed such that
no pair of code words placed next to each other produce a string of more
than 2 zeros.

Ah,..... someone from industry.  Well, in an academic environment
where networks are used by hundreds (thousands?) of students, we just
can't afford to spend $200 a pop for commercial ftp, telnet, news
readers, and many other forms of software.  It seems in academia, many
good programs are written and distributed among schools - the greatest
software secret around.  Seriously, we're not for-profit, and budgets
are strained.  With programming talent around (profs., students), we
do alright with public domain software!

This may or may not be a solution, depending on the politics of your
organization (If I remember the original post correctly, it indicated
that there were poliitcal reasons for wanting to stay with Fortra(n/sh)..),
but, there is a port of f2c available with the DJGPP package now.

You could compile your Fortran by running it through f2c, then compiling
with GCC (DJGPP).  Supposedly, the translator (& the generated code) are
very good.   (I don't know - I am just repeating what I've heard)

(I've used DJGPP a lot - it is very nice)_

I am not a shareware author, but I wrote some freeware programs.
(Not exactly PD, I own the source code, but you can distribute it for free)
I like PD/freeware programs because :

1. I don't have the money to buy all utilities.
   I do buy commercial programs such as Windows, DOS, some utilities, though.
   Also I register shareware programs (like Waffle, pendraw, etc.)
   These are the programs that I couldn't find in the PD/freeware.

2. Most free/shareware programs have better support. Some authors give you
   free updates, whereas in commercial programs you have to pay for upgrades.

3. Some pd/free/shareware programs come with source code so you can modify it
   if needed (eg to port to UNIX). You have to pay big bucks for commerical one.

4. Most PD/freeware programs are good. Want examples ?
   zoo, kermit, several text editors (vi, emacs clone), etc..


Have fun with PD/freeware stuff...,

Well, at least make them color-VGA capable, I don't think that windows supports
monochrome very well (if at all).  An accelerated SVGA card will help speed
up the graphics parts of windows (opening and moving windows, etc.) quite a
bit.

However:

Windows will be very slow without lots of RAM to work with.  It can run one
app at a time at very fast speeds with 4 MB RAM (512 K cache), and will meet
all your needs with 8 MB RAM (1MB Cache and optionally 1 MB RAM disk, with
the temp variable set to a dir on it).

>3) Invest in coprocessors?

Well, a co-processor (math-type, not video or any other) will only help if
the windows apps you plan to use were written to talk to it.  Otherwise, it's
basically a waste of money.

Hope this is where this is supposed to go.
Anyways,
Has anyone out there used WATCOM C 386 compiler with DOS
extender?  I am having some trouble with the signal()
function. It doesnt seem to do what its supposed to.

In my code I have:

#include <signal.h>
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
	for (;1==1;) {
	signal(SIGINT,myhandler);
	}
}

void
myhandler(void)
{
	printf("Control C pressed\n");
	
}

This is not the actual program I have, but has all the parts the 
deal with the problem. Actually, in the handler, I have a longjmp
back into the main, which runs other code.  But the problem
is that thesignal catch isnt working at all, and control-C
breaks out of the program still.

Is there a setting I have to do in compiling or linking to
let Watcom C know about the signal catch? or some environment
variable?? I've actually typed in an example in the manual
and that doesnt work either. So what am I doing wrong?

Please email me direct if you have any ideas.

Another point.....
 
Since OS/2 allows *each* DOS program up to 512 *megabytes* of DPMI memory, it
could be the *ULTIMATE* games machine! Especially with the MMPM/2 multi-media
extensions (now shipping from an IBM near you).

I have written and made available over the years quite a few PD 
programs. I don't support them, simply make the .exe/com and code
with little or no documentation available at no cost.  
I know from the mail I get that many people find them of use.  

I the effort to develope commercial software takes about 4-10 times the 
effort as PD. 

We don't all have ton's of money or the time to write the code we need. At 
the same time someone else has spent several weeks writting just what I 
need. Call me lazy, call me cheap, it's a good deal for all concerned. 

PD means through cooperation we can make our lives easier.  

P.S.
While we are at it does, anyone know of any PD multi user games for 
DOS. I'm thinking of something like conquest on UNIX. While it is PD on 
UNIX, the author will not permit ports to DOS (Sigh ...)
