Subject: List of Utilities for GNO?
From: rhill@oread.cc.ukans.edu (Robert Hill)

Organization: University of Kansas Academic Computing Serces

	Could a list of utilities that have been ported to or written for 
GNO be compiled and posted?   It might also be nice to list the places to 
get them (if they aren't on pindarus).

Thanks.

Both should be on either pindarus or ccosun. Bison ... you need to
include stdlib.h in the bison.simple file, I forgot that when
distributing it. If you don't do that, your generated programs'll
crash.

Moreover, if so then could one have access to backup programs, printing,

Postscript use a utility (Todd's seems to work great) to send the file

You can get an information file on GNO listing features and benefits
via anonymous FTP from:

Name:    pindarus.cs.uiuc.edu
Address:  128.174.240.84

The file is called (appropriately enough) GNOinfo, and is located in the
/incoming directory.

  We have taken pains in the past to make sure our ads actually look and
read like press releases. :)  Hey, everyone else does it, and it's nowhere

  The imagined :-) document might appear on pindarus.cs.uiuc.edu, at
the official GNO FTP archive.  What's a price?  Prices in particular
are no longer quoted, since they vary depending on who you get the
package from.  But I'll gladly tell a person the estimated cost :)

Read what he said a little more carefully.

Dallas: You might want to get nulib (unix version) and compile it, and 
see if the files survive the FTP.  Sometimes the pathway from your machine
to the remote machine goes through some pretty wierd machines ;) and 
it could be that somewhere along the line the file is being corrupted.

What program are you using on the GS end to receive kermit?  Are you
setting the packet size and all that other fun stuff correctly?

After excellent help, (kudos to Steven here at U of C and Steve Chiang)

I finally tracked down the problem to the local entryway gateway.  The only
way around this was to get ahold of the Kermit 3.87 and configure it for
the gs.  This works swimmingly.  Many thanks again.....

  This is in early design right now, but will definitely be a future Procyon

I plan on simply moving the files off, not making disk images. Some
of the programs may have been DOS 3.2 specific and /or APPLE BASIC version
specific. I will simply provide archives in APPLE II SHrinkit form.
What you do with the Binary/Integer/Applesoft/Text files will be up to you.

I have no problem converting from DOS 3.2 ---> 3.3 once I remember how.

All I can say is: They work for me (GS Sauce), they work for several Mac-
friends, and in theory there is no reason why that should fail. The extra
chip is just unused.

Note: This is not true for the 3-chip 1MB*9, those need a slightly different

OK, here is a followup on some things I forgot to mention.

OA-CA-ctrl-reset says "System OK".  What does this check anyway?  RAM?  ROM?

There is NO Zip or other speedup chip installed.  However there is a
No-Slot clock installed.  (sidenote:  I've had the clock for 5 years now,
can I expect it to die soon?  If so, can I replace the battery?)

Another person emailed and suggested the power supply as the problem.
(I forget your name/address at the moment, but thanks anyway.)  This could
be a culprit, but I have not tested it yet.  Anyone know the pinouts?

Which chip is responsible for character generation on the video monitor?

The IIc hasn't have the symptoms in a while now, but a cure when it would
go "nuts" was to lift the IIc about 2" and drop it.  It cured the problem
90% of the time.  The other 10% might have required multiple drops.  This
leads me to believe a motherboard problem more than anything else.  (I know,
not a smart idea to drop it, but it *DID* fix the problem!)

I ran a "IIc Dealer Diagnostic" disk on the IIc and all tests came up
clean.  RAM, ROM, MMU, Char Gen, etc.

Thanks for your help so far.  Maybe I will find the problem.  Please
followup to the address below!

I think someone recently asked if there is any Apple II ballistics/guns
software. Whoever you were, send me email. I know someone with similar
interests who I believe has some software.

Subject: GSHK v1.1 BASIC patch :-)

Hi out there...!
As one guy already mentioned yesterday there's a problem with the new version
of GSHK v1.1.
The self-extracting archive (GSHK11.SEA) which is actually a S16 file can't
be started (giving you a SystemLoader err $1104 - "Not a load file").
Since I'm not that familiar with the "GS/OS-guts" but wanted to take a look
at the new GSHK, I wrote that little "nitty-gritty" BASIC program to strip
off the self-extractor header and unpacked the remaining archive with the
latest version of GSHK which I had (1.0.6).
I had no problems at all - and since it's quite simple and quite fast, I
thought I'm going to post this little pgm so you can use the file you've
already downloaded and don't have to wait for a repost...


 100 D$ =  CHR$ (4)
 110  PRINT D$"create gshk11.shk,t$e0"
 120  FOR I = 1 TO 6: PRINT D$"bload gshk11.sea,ts16,a$2000,l$4000,b"12005 + (I - 1) * 16384
 130  PRINT "writing chunk #"I
 140  PRINT D$"bsave gshk11.shk,t$e0,a$2000,l$4000,b"0 + (I - 1) * 16384
 150  NEXT : PRINT D$"bload gshk11.sea,ts16,a$2000,l7819,b"12005 + 6 * 16384
 160  PRINT D$"bsave gshk11.shk,t$e0,a$2000,l7819,b"0 + 6 * 16384


BTW: I found the "12005-offset" with BLOCK.WARDENs (great old utility by
Glen Bredon, btw) follow-file/search string-option (searched for "NuFile"s
2nd occurrence...)

have fun ;-)

oh, and of course: THANX ANDY!!! GREAT NEW STUFF IN V1.1!
