I am looking for some info to help me select a full page color
scanner.  The requirements are that it be able to scan a legal sized
piece of paper in a single scan.  Also, it needs to have a resolution
of 300dpi or better and do 24-bit color. I don't know whether I want
sheet fed or flatbed (your experience would be useful here). One sheet
fed color scanner I saw was the ScanPlus 3000 which meets the above
requirements.  Is it any good? Help, I need to purchase something
soon!

Thanks,
Kevin

I am running out of space on my 386SX's 40Mb HD. Are there any

Please elaborate on what you mean by "not fond with either" -- do you
mean that the Tseng or S3 don't work at all with OS2 or that there

IBM has already done it. It's called OS/2 2.0. *NIX are good, but OS/2 gives
much of the same power and functionality in user-friendly form that is -
comparatively and in real terms - easy to use.

Not "public domain" - there may be none of those.
But rbcomm & mskermit together make up a good freeware package; they're
both copyrighted, but free.  I use mskermit for terminal emulation &
kermit file transfer (for PC-to-Unix) and rbcomm for all other file
transfer (eg, PC-to BBS).  Telix (shareware) is a good replacement for
both, although its terminal emulation doesn't compare with mskermit.
Nevertheless, I might switch to Telix, if I have some extra $.

There are a a small handful of games which don't run correctly under
OS/2.  Of course, you give him one of those and then act like it is
representative.  Ultima VII and Civilization don't run correctly (or
so I understand).  However, the number of DOS games that fail to work
under OS/2 is smaller than the number of Windows 3.0 programs that
fail to run under Windows 3.1.

Civilisation runs fine in a full screen Dos session if you follow IBM's

Also, consider that "functionality" means different things to different
people. To the authors of most commercial software it seems to mean
"How many features can we cram in"

To me, it means how well can it do it's job, and how *small* is it.
Try installing DOS, a word processor, a database and a spreadsheet
on a 10 meg HD. Used to be that you could, and still have room left
over. 

Now figure it with DOS 5.0 (2398k), WP51 (6840k), Paradox or Dbase IV
(both 4+ meg), Lotus or Quattro (what 6 meg?). And figure the RAM they want.

After a lot of messing around, I've found that good old fashioned 
Microsoft Multiplan does just fine as a spreadsheet. (and will fit
on a 360k floppy). dBase 3 does well as a database and *almost* fits
on a floppy. I could go on...

I think that there'd be quite a market if the folks started to
put out programs that did *one* thing well. If you really *need* all
the features, go for the expensive package. Otherwise, get the cheap but
adequate one.

I own WordPerfect, for when I need something fancy. I *use* Norton 
Editor (the *old* version at that). 

And it'd be easier to sell *simple* package to "average" users.

Make your modem look for a V.32 connection first.  I had mine set to

	There are currently no Tseng or S3 OS2 drivers.  Although you can ftp
   some orchid beta drivers that marginally work with ET4000 cards.  The color
   palette is screwed up though.  On the other hand the ATI Ultra cards are 
   8514 compatible and OS2 has built in support for that.  I think thats what

There is some hardware control, but most of the functions in VGA card are
user programmable in register level. It is possible to change scan, beginning
and ending line of screen, sync pulses, etc. The effect is combination of
some changes in VGA registers. I think that screen start and end are changed,
maybe also scan rate.

I speculated about different programming and hardware topics with their
main programmer (he was only 16). I get some very interresting information,
but he did not want to tell all his programming secrets.

does any one know where I can get a public domain mouse driver in source
(preferably 'C', but assembler is OK).
I want to be able to connect my mouse to COM3/4 and the driver I got will
only talk to COM1/COM2.

regards,
dave
