This sounds like the ahead VGA BIOS that can't have it's autoswitching
turned off.  Check your docs and see if there is a way to disable this
"feature".  If not, there is a file called AHEAD.ZIP on our bbs (or send
mail to info@qdeck.com) that will patch around this BIOS.

I installed DVX several months ago on my home machine, a 486-33 with 8 megs, 2
132MB drives, a Mitsumi CD, and a Soundblaster, with an EGA card and monitor. 
I deinstalled DVX and in the mean time switched to a SVGA monitor and an
ET4000 24bit display card.  I have tried to reinstall DVX three times.  Each
time it seems to install fine, but neither the Application Manager nor the
File manager will display.  Attempting to open a dos window will sometimes
freeze or reboot the machine.  Any ideas?  No error messages appear at any

Organization: Univ. of Texas at Dallas
Date: Wed, 6 Jan 1993 22:33:45 GMT

I have one more question about DEMACS and DV/X (actually, DVANSI.COM).

DEMACS requires ANSI.SYS or compatible device driver.
Under DOS, DEMACS works fine with ANSI.SYS.

Under DV/X, I used DVANSI.COM; but there seems to be
some incompatiblity. That is,
DEL and ARROW KEYS do not work with DVANSI.COM. Jut a beep...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Under DV/X, I tried DEVICE C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS, instead of DVANSI.COM.
Still DEL and arrow keys do not work.

I can live without these keys, but it would be much better
if I can use these keys (and function keys).

I have just received my copy of Desqview/X ordered by mail from USA.
To my dissapointment I can't find a driver for the Danish keyboard, I
have even tried to edit the text file for one of the countries, but
it didn't work out. I didn't know that the program I ordered wasn't for
sale outside USA, maybe that's the reason that I don't have a driver.
If someone know where I can get the driver, I think it just one file,
please let me know.

ps. I haven't tried Quaterdeck's BBS yet, because I wanted to try
    internet first..It's cheaper.

Yes I have gotten this program to work under DV/X.  It is the best 
dvi viewer I have ever used by far.  I use the PcTeX suite of
commercial software.  You must recompile the dvix program and
redefine your definition of the fonts environment.  In my case
it was c:\pctex\pixel\dpi300 .  I can't remember the specifics.
I just sent an e-mail to the person who ported to dv/x if I recall.

Well, the first hint would be to try running APPMAN from a DOS window
and see if it produces an error message.  If it produces the dreaded 
PROCMAN 35 error then, odds are, it not finding enough _available_ memory
or something is interfering with VCPI memory management.

Organization: Department of Computer Science, McMaster University

		TOSHIBA 4400SXP, QEMM and all that 

Further to previous notes on getting the most out of QEMM on a Toshiba
4400SXP,  I have tried the recommendations from Quarterdeck to no avail
(no blame to the nice and helpful guys at QD).  I started with the
following config.sys:

DEVICE=C:\QEMM\QEMM386.SYS RAM ROM 
rem DOS=HIGH (I usually run DESQview and I find I get more available
rem memory in a dos window if I leave dos loaded low)
BUFFERS = 40
Files = 45
DEVICE=c:\qemm\loadhi.sys mouse.SYS
SHELL C:\COMMAND.COM /E:512 /P 
DEVICE=C:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS C:\STACKER\STACKER.COM /EMS C:\STACVOL.DSK 
	.... D:\STACVOL.DSK
DEVICE=C:\STACKER\SSWAP.COM C:\STACVOL.DSK /SYNC
DEVICE=C:\STACKER\SSWAP.COM D:\STACVOL.DSK
DEVICE=c:\qemm\loadhi.sys c:\dos\ramdrive.SYS 2048 /A

This gave me 512k available for a dos window.  That's ok but I wanted
more.  Experimenting with stealth (ST:M) gives problems with the battery
popup (yes, I have t386.exe running to permit the popup to run with
qemm).  Toshiba tried to help but in the end they stood by their
recommendation to stay away from stealth.  I tried again last night,
using ANALYSIS within MANIFEST.  It led to the following config.sys:

DEVICE=C:\QEMM\QEMM386.SYS RAM ROM i=eb00-edff i=e900-e9ff i=ef00-efff 
	.... i=f000-f2ff i=f600-f6ff i=fb00-fbff i=c300-c4ff
rem Manifest analysis shows that the battery popup uses e8, ea and ee and that
rem the above areas can be included.  TEST3, the battery popup and vchad all
rem work with this setup and permits a max memory of 544 in a window.  Stealth
rem (ST:M) with e8, ea and ee excluded did not permit the popup to work.
BUFFERS = 40
Files = 45
DEVICE=c:\qemm\loadhi.sys mouse.SYS
SHELL C:\COMMAND.COM /E:512 /P 
DEVICE=C:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS C:\STACKER\STACKER.COM /EMS C:\STACVOL.DSK D:\STACVOL.DSK
DEVICE=C:\STACKER\SSWAP.COM C:\STACVOL.DSK /SYNC
DEVICE=C:\STACKER\SSWAP.COM D:\STACVOL.DSK
DEVICE=c:\qemm\loadhi.sys c:\dos\ramdrive.SYS 2048 /A

This gives me 544k available for a dos window in DV.

When I'm docked, I don't need the popup to work but I do need more upper
memory space for ethernet drivers.  So, I use stealth as per the
following config.sys:

DEVICE=C:\QEMM\QEMM386.SYS RAM ROM exclude=c400-c9ff i=e800-efff DBF=2 ST:M
rem Note that TEST3 and T386 hang the system when STEALTH is turned on
BUFFERS = 40
Files = 45
DEVICE=c:\qemm\loadhi.sys mouse.SYS
SHELL C:\COMMAND.COM /E:512 /P 
DEVICE=C:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS C:\STACKER\STACKER.COM /EMS C:\STACVOL.DSK 
	... D:\STACVOL.DSK
DEVICE=C:\STACKER\SSWAP.COM C:\STACVOL.DSK /SYNC
DEVICE=C:\STACKER\SSWAP.COM D:\STACVOL.DSK
DEVICE=c:\qemm\loadhi.sys c:\dos\ramdrive.SYS 2048 /A
DEVICE = c:\qemm\loadhi.sys C:\BWTCP\ETHDEV.SYS
DEVICE = c:\qemm\loadhi.sys C:\BWTCP\TCPIP.SYS 1460

This also gives 544k in a dos window.  Ethernet needs c400-c9ff so that is 
excluded.  I guess I could fine tune this a bit more in the range e800-efff.

Hope this helps someone.

The Watcom extender (DOS4GW) and the DESQview/X extender (DOS4GX) are

does not have a 16MB limit. If you buy the DVX toolkit you get a stub

Does anybody successfully run "demacs" under DV/X?
"demacs" is a complete MS-DOS implementation of GNU-Emacs.

My problem is that as soon as I enter:

	C:\> demacs    [Enter key]

the computer reboots! (Yes, I am serious; I didn't press Ctrl-Ald-Del.)
	     ^^^^^^^
(1) I added ANSI.SYS in config.sys. The above happened.
(2) I didn't added ANSI.SYS. Instead, I ran DVANSI first
    and then tried DEMACS. The above happened, too.

One more note: "demacs" was compiled using DJGPP (GNU C for MS-DOS).
As far as I know, the original GNU-Emacs source codes were
minimally modified.

Thanks in advance.

I have one (thanks Andrew Ward) from QOS UK. No manual.

However the setup program only refers to IBM, Novell and 3Com cards. I
have a WD8003e. Will other cards be supported and if you have the ODI
driver for 8003e (I *may* do) how do you configure the LWP kernel ?
How up to date does ODI driver have to be ?

If you already have PC/TCP 2.1, is it really woth it ?

On some issues, oddly enough most of the times that I have seen it video,
the FSTC can fail to detect an are that will still require an exclude.
Unfortunately, we are left with a little leg work.  It sounds like this is
the CGA character set so you might first try X=FF00-FFFF and see if that
handles it.  If not it's the old bianry search time. X=F000-F7FF, if that
works then X=F000-F3FF, X=F800-FFFF if it doesn't.

I think the best thing is to READ the README's with the DEMACS distribution.
(from memory) The authors used DJGPP version1.04 and MODIFIED it!  So just 
what will happen I don't know.

Cheers  John

Bingo! "enhkbd" is the culprit.

I sent you a plain-vanilla DOS solution, check your mail again.

Subject: Is there a way to log the results of interactive programs?

On vms systems you could spawn a new login session and have that session logged
to a disk file.  This was particularly useful because is let people test 
their programs interactively, while logging the results to a file which
could be easily viewed or printed.

I dont want to have to use PRINT SCREEN to do this, or to open have the printer
do everything as I go along, I'd like this in a file.


Is there a way to do this in OS/2 or MSDOS5?

Thanks
Greg
