I have MS Works on an IBM 55sx.  When I use the Works from DOS it runs
fine, but when I try to access it through Windows it becomes intolerably
slow.  I presume it is an issue of memory management.  Is there any way I
can change the RAM assignment or move one or the other to high memory?
I understand there is a version of Works for Windows, but I don't have it,
and am trying to avoid the cost and hassle of getting it.  Thanks in
advance for your help.

Yes, the IR video retrieval system does work, and it is fantastic.  The
developer is a company by the name of Crestron (sp?) out of Connecticut.
For more information you should contact Gary Dunn at Electrical Systems
Corporation, Indianapolis, Indiana  (317) 298-2981.

If you want to see a system in operation contact Tony Spelde, Technology
Coordinator, Beech Grove High School, Indianapolis, Indiana (317)786-1447.
Beech Grove has the system installed throughout, I've seen it in action,
and its impact on instruction is amazing.

Tell them Whitman sent you.  Good luck.

Subject:      Re: Listserv information

As a relatively new recipient of items from this list, I've just
assumed that all had previously been aware of the research that was
done by a group of Nebraska teachers at the University of Nebraska
in Omaha to develop an Internet Resource
Directory, with the list published in Spring of 1992.  This list,
consisting of four separate files listing resources in the areas of
LISTSERV, FTP, TELNET, and curriculum usage on the Internet, not only
has wonderful sources, but gives explicit example instructions about
how to access each one.
     I have the files but don't remember where I found out about
them.  If someone else knows of these files, perhaps you could reply
to the list as a source for all.  Otherwise, if someone has a site
that could be used for distribution--OHSTVMA?--then let me know and
I can arrange to transfer them there.

Subject:      Advanced Digital Design Text Wanted (PLD and FPGA emphasis)

  I'm teaching a course covering advanced digital design (with
PLD and FPGA emphasis) in the Spring 1993.  My approach is a very
"applications-oriented" treatment of the subject (i.e. if we
can't build it, then I won't spend much time, if any, on its
coverage).  I've heard of a Data I/O text on this subject (more
information from them is forthcoming).  Does anybody have any
recommendations for a graduate-level textbook on this subject?
Has anybody seen this Data I/O text and is willing to submit some
commentary?

  Currently I'm planning to use some of the manufacturer's
databooks (e.g. Cypres, and XILINX).  I've been trying for months
to get some information from Texas Instruments, but nobody seems
to return my calls or reply to my letters.  Motorola has been
contacted, and I'm awaiting information from them.

  Please email replies.  I'm not sure this information is of
sufficient general interest to rate the expense of the global
distribution of any replies.

  Thanks in advance!

At Lansing Community College we have our MAJOR viewing area in the library
following the same format as Peabody College.  THis not ONLY is convenient
for the student, but keeps tapes from walking and provides PROOF, if necessary,
that no coping can take place.  THe college is wired so that all tapes can
be played in the class-rooms as well as in the special Carrols in the Library.
In addition, there are stand alone players in the computer labs so that
self-paced lessons in Lotus or other software can be played next to the computer
that the student will be using to practice the lessons.  THere are two or three
VCR's on carts in each building for instructors wanting to control their
own tape presentations without going through the library.  We have had
good luck with this arangement for over 10 years.

Hi all.  I'm a new user to this group, so I hope I'm not asking a question
that has recently been discussed.  If I am, feel free to properly berate me
via E-mail.

I am working on a study involving some students at MSU who have had computers
installed in their dorm rooms.  I am interested in how they are going to use
this technology.  I have been told that some studies have been done on this
already (particularly at Carnegie-Mellon, I believe).

If anyone has any articles or sources of articles on data on this type of
research, I would certainly appreciate it.  E-mail would be fine, but if you
feel it is of general interest, feel free to use bandwidth.

Thanx in advance,

Subject:      more on ethernet

Thank you for those who offer me info about ethernet. Ethernet can
transmit data at the rate of 10 million bits per second. This is
the second fastest network (The fastest one is FDDI, 100 million
bits per second). Also, ethernet will work perfectly smooth with
A/UX. And now Mac Quadura has built-in ethernet card. In near
future we will put all our Macs on ethernet. Our students can use
one terminal (Mac) to access virtually every system!
However, I have another question: the connection for ethernet is
10baseT hub. Do we need one hub for every Mac, or just one for
a group of machines?

Sorry, Dan, it *isn't* a moot point. We have quite a number of
computer-aided instruction packages which do not run under
System 7. We need to be able to run things under both, and therefore
will not be buying any Classics. Much of the computer-aided instruction
which we have are programs which were developed by a faculty member
somewhere under many constraints, both time and resources. Many of
these faculty members are not interested in ongoing support for
a program they did a while back -- they want to move on to bigger
and better (and newer) projects. I don't expect that these will
be upgraded to operate under System 7. Many are very specialized
and not widely available. There is nothing else available which
does whatever that program is doing. So far, every machine I've
switched over to System 7 I've ended up having to switch back,
sadly. I like System 7, but the incompatibilities are killing us.
