I Purchased STATGRAPHICS 5.1 yesterday and installed it successfully. 
Each time I try to access the display data module I need to reset the machine
without seeing the data at all. I can't even update or edit an existing file
although I can import and export. I have tried all combinations of DOS and
himem, emm386, smartdrv, setver different machines(4) inc. 286, 386SX
all to no avail.

I contacted the STSC hotline by FAX and by phone (From Switzerland!!!) but
after a day I still have no response.

Can someone help me ????!

Thanks, Graham :-(

The trouble is, according to the readme with Pk's notes on the problem,
that the problem is not consistant. YOu cannot just write a program and
be guaranteed to find the bug. Sonetimes it changes a byte but usually
it doesn't. So perhaps what they are delaying for is precisely some way
of reliably testing the caches and issuing a message like the above- or
some way of seeing that the cache has changed a byte, and issuing a
fault report to the user. I doublt that they would be able to "work
around it". 
As we see with OS2, users blame the software, not the hardware, if a
program screws up. "What do you mean there is something wrong with my
computer, it runs Pacman just fine! It must be your software."

Hi

I am looking for a package to assist in transferring data from a BBC model
B micro (ok I know its antiquated, but its controlling an experiment and
I dont have the time to re-design the interface.....).

Anyway, we have a lot of data stored on BBC formatted 5.25 floppy disks
and I am looking for some way of transferring to a PC. Either a direct
link via a RS423/232 cable and appropraite software at each end, or
preferably, via an utility which will allow my PC to READ disks formatted
for the BBC.

Any suggestions, pointers eetc welcomed (e-mail or post).

Thanks in advance.

ps Time-critical! A colleague using the system returns to Germany next week
and would REALLY like to take her data too!

I just recently learned about TWAIN which is part of the software that
Logitech included with the ScanMan 256 which I just bought. Since the
readme file with the package points out that the manual refers to TWAIN by
another name (its development name), it may be that this is proprietary to
Logitech.

I certainly haven't seen it on any FTP sites.

They did drop Sidekick-Plus (the Day manager, yuppie, ESTie version).
They enhanced the original product, adding Paradox-database compatibility,

I'm having one of those maddeningly intermittent problems with my

random moments.  Everything stops and nothing but the RESET button
can recover.  It's happened in Windows 3.0, in Windows 3.1, and in 
plain ol' DOS as well.

I suspect some sort of hard-to-locate hardware problem.  I would
like to find some good diagnostic software for PC's that can really
wring the system out and possibly locate a bad memory chip or whatever.
Unfortunately, I am not aware of any such software.  Can anyone out there

The behavior you describe is identical to when you return to WP in a different
video mode than when you started.  For example, you started in 43 line mode,
shelled out, changed the video mode to 25 lines, and returned to WP.  The
prompt would then be off the bottom of the screen.

But that's not supposed to happen, since WP is very good about restoring
the video mode upon return.  Are you using WP under Windows?

I responded to this last week and have since learned something new.  At the
time, I speculated that this was a bug in the latest interim release of
WordPerfect.  I have since learned that this is partly correct.

I believe that if you check the README file for the video drivers (it should
be on the disk with the drivers), you'll find buried in there a note that
exactly the situation you describe occurs sometimes with "some Trident
chipset VGA clones."

My feeling is that it will tend to crop up only if you frequently switch
between modes within WP.  I'd be interested to hear if that were not
correct.

A friend who is developing an app in FoxPro 2.0 says that when he got 
stuck in a loop and cycled power on his PC he was subsequently unable 
to access the floppy and even unable to reformat it! After some further 
testing to try and recreate the problem he had to reformat his C: drive. 
Has anyone heard of this?  (He's using an Everex '386, 1MB ram, DOS 5.0)

Numerous calls to Microsoft and FoxPro have not yielded any results.

Also, FoxPro 2.0 seems to muck with system files (HIMEM.SYS, COMMAND.COM)
while running...can this be turned off? Maybe by setting compatibility
mode to DBASE?  This is *really* a drag as a lot of people were looking
forward to using this particular app.  :-(

My understanding of Seagate Hard Drives is that people who like them are

(The preceding comment is made in jest and should not be taken as a jab

I have lost data with Stacker, and when I did, it was my own damn fault,
and never due to a problem with Stacker.  Actually, Windows does a good
job of trashing Stacker occasionally, but it did that on my un-stacked
drive, too, so nothing new there.

You should not put any data anywhere and expect it to stay there
forever.  Put in two places, or three if it's important.

I have a process which (among other things) continually reads and writes

the process will stop with an error tell me that my hard drive is write

Well the specific problem is the default TMPDIR setting and command.com
in DOS 5.0.  When MKS vi shells out to do an external
command it runs the command something like this 
	$SHELL command < $TMPDIR/tempfile > $TMPDIR/tempfile
which becomes something like 
	command /c fmt < c:/tmp/vi6798 > c:/tmp/vi8908  
which fails with DOS 5.0 command.com which dislikes the c:/tmp/filename

change TMPDIR to c:\TMP\ and the command will be
	command.com /c fmt < c:\tmp\/vi6798 > c:\tmp\/vi8908
which will work

If people have questions or problems with the MKS products our email
address is inquiry@mks.com

Keywords: John, you'd better say something.
Date: 17 Aug 92 21:03:17 GMT
Organization: Screaming in Digital, the Queensryche Net Digest


	I recently installed an external ZModem on my system, and got it
working with GeoComm.  I had been using Xmodem-1K in GeoComm, and getting
transfer rates of up to 720 characters per second.  [I'm only running at
9600 baud right now].  Under ZModem, I've been getting closer to 900 cps,
and over 1000 cps with ZModem compression on.

	So... I want to know whether we can expect an Internal ZModem in 2.0.

	And I think our resident GeoWorker should break with his "no comment"
policy, and tell us whether GeoWorks is planning to add, or has added, such a
creature.

	Why?

	Well, if they're planning to, or have already done so, that saves us
all the trouble of writing to Omen [makers of DSZ, which is generally the 
de facto standard for ZModem on PC's] and begging them to write a GEOS version
of their protocol, and begging them to _try_ to integrate it into GeoComm
somehow... or begging them to write an entire GEOS terminal program - which
might not be such a bad idea either... I wonder what DataStorm's Procomm+ 2.0
would be like in a GEOS version?

	Of course, if GeoWorks isn't working on this, but someone _else_ [read:
third-party vendors!] is, I'd like to know that _someone_ is, although by no
means should John feel obligated to say who. :)

Although Network drives are suppoerted by PRO, GEO still writes the system file
s and its temporary informations in the GEOWORKS directory which makes the supe
rvisor give a user much controle ove the GEOWORKS directory which is not a secu
re idea in case of new users who might erase important files in the GEOWORKS di
rectory that are internally important to GEO. ( Ooohh.. That was a long sentenc
e )

Besides.. The Kernal is not sharable that makes Geoworks could be run only once
 at a time..

Is there any remedy for these two problems..?

One more uncomfortablity I noticed is that..
When Opening any document in any Application.. GEO filook the directory GEOWORK
SDOCUMENT by default..  I had to change the directory allthe time to load and
 save my files.. Any idea how to make GEOWORKS PRO to look first to the Current
 directory?
Will comeback with more .. later..
