Well, any hex-editor program [I use hexed, which is available from the simtel
mirrors] can be used to apply the patch Rudi posted... but I don't really
think it'd be a very good idea to go hex-editing random GeoApps...

Does GW really have the Geo prefix trademarked?  I've seen two or three
non-GEOS programs that start with GEO (e.g., GEOCLOCK is a DOS app
that tells you the time in various time zones around the world.  It's
available on Simtel and has been since at least April '91.)

I recently received an update to DRDOS 6 and was very pleased to see an 
example configuration file for GEOS. In it, DR says that they support GW 1.2 
and GWPro. It is refreshing to see this kind of support from an operating 
system. Perhaps it will be significant in the not-so-distant future now that 
MS has delayed the release of Win NT.

Date: Sun, 27 Sep 1992 21:47:46 GMT

While doing a hasty installation of GEOS on a friend's pc, I noticed a file
called DRDOS.GEO being loaded. I didn't see a file called [MS]DOS.GEO load,
so I assume this is some special file.
Does anyone know what exactly it does? I know DRDOS has Taskmask, but is that
all GEOS takes advantage of?

On a different note. Since that same install had to be done in a hurry, and
minimally, since we had little space left on the HD, I was wondering if a
customizable installation could be developped. Basically, have an option to
load just what was needed to run GeoWrite for example, and nothing else.

I seem to recall 'bout a year ago that someone had a simple workaround that let

Does anyone recall how this can be done??

Hmmm... are you only suggesting that the ZIPfiles be named Geo*.Zip, or are
you suggesting that applications be given [Geos] filenames beginning with
"Geo" also?  [e.g. GeoComm].

On the app side, currently all the Geo* apps I know of are actually from
Geoworks... does the collective consciousness think 'twould be better to see
say, "Procomm+ for GEOS," or "GeoProcomm+" name-wise?

Once they're placed in the directory, yes... but most uploads to Mir, at
least, go into a mixed "inbasket" directory.  Whoever runs the site has to
decide where they go from there.  If the filenames include "geo," it makes
their job easier, I guess?

New uploads to mir.eco.utexas.edu are not in the /pub/geos directory, but are

That`s write. Geos works with "virtual memory", and the documents
saved by Geosapplication are "just" copies of this memory situations.
(and therefor called VM-Documents). The whole system is about blocks
und heaps, linked togheter. And by changes and so, they are marked
"dirty" until they will be saved.

Routines are provided by the kernel, the clean VM-Documents from non-used
blocks anymore, but at this moment, it is not really implemented, I
suppose, therefor a lot of duplicate stuff can be found in documents,
which are changed with new stuff.

 > open a document GEOS gives you a message something like "This file has

The first time, I got this, I did look very strange, because this
phenomen I never seen before. I open a document I never created (I
got it from one of USA :-) and then this message. But it`s the reason
you explained.

Yeep.  That might be more than a slight problem if you installed GEOS when the
system _wasn't_ running TaskMax... I'm relatively sure my GEOS believe it's
got some XMS laying around to play with, and if it tries to snag some, and
TaskMax won't let it, things could get hairy.  [time for some reassuring tech

People naming their programs GeoXXX would be a Bad Thing (as in trademark

Ah but all of the BBS's that I've used all have a lovely thing called a

Sorry for posting this to the net, but my mail to diarra@borsu66.in2p3.fr
bounced.

I have personally ported Interphase's Sun drivers for their 3211
"Falcon" and 4211 "Peregrine" FDDI boards to VxWorks.  I gave the
code for both to Interphase in return for their giving me the 
code for the Sun and BSD drivers, a lot of support, etc., and also
because one of them was developed under a Government contract, which
put it in the public domain or something (sorry, I don't understand
all this legal business), and maybe because we wanted Interphase to
support the thing from now on.  At any rate, I asked my boss and he
told me to send it to Interphase.

I believe that both Interphase and AP Labs have VxWorks driver code
for the 4211 which they are offering to the public.  I don't know if
Interphase charges for it or if it's free; I do know that for AP Labs
charges for theirs.  Interphase's driver may be based on what I sent
them.

I know that the driver I sent Interphase is buggy (it sends and
receives TCP/IP and UDP/IP over sockets, but you can't rlogin to one
board from another over FDDI as you can with my 3211 driver).  Since
my application didn't require rlogging in, and since my application
bypassed a lot of the driver a lot of the time, I left it broken.
I suspect the problem lies in the way the driver pads "tinygrams".
It's probably simple to fix, and Interphase may have fixed it.
Or it may be that my port was really lousy, and Interphase simply
discarded it.

I have never seen the AP Labs driver, so I can't comment on it (also,
since I possibly wrote part of the drivers that Interphase has, my
company would probably prohibit me from making any comment since
they're in some farfetched sense a competitor).

Oh, yeah.  I don't think they sell the 3211 any more.  The 4211 is
lots better, IMHO.  Interphase supposedly has a newer ("Eagle"?) FDDI
board, but I haven't seen it.

Hope this helps.

If there are no interrupts allowed, there will be no clock interrupts or

there is no prempting task.

I thought context switches could occur in the absence of clock
interrupts when a task is made ready by giving a semaphore.

Our group is currently analyzing the different 68030/68040
SBC's on the market that provide VME64 block transfers.  The
boards must also provide a VSB or mezzanine interface - 
preferably a VSB interface.  In addition the board must be
supported by a VxWorks board support package.  We have 
analyzed Performance Technologies' PT-VME141 68040,
Motorola's MVME162 and MVME166, and Synergy Microsystems'
SV40 series.  These all happen to have been 68040 boards.
Feedback on any other 68030/40 boards which meet these
requirements would be greatly appreciated.
