Yes, the first attempt to silence Emacs was to add the (setq...) entry to my
.emacs file and leave the termcap entry alone. The idea was that Emacs would
search the term entry for a :vb entry, and on finding none would do nothing.
It didn't work but defaulted to using :bl (sorry above is incorrect, should
read :bl=:).

I have further information on the problem I posted. I finally
ctrl-alt-deleted my way out of the system. When I came back on-line
my swapper.dat file was down to 3 megs again and I was greated by
fractint os/2. Apparently it had never fully closed. But the wierd
thing is that the icon was NOT shadowed (I checked because I had
experienced problems with it previously that same day) and it was
NOT listed in the active window. I'm not surprised. the os/2 version
of fractint was written by someone who admits to being new to os/2
programing. Though how did os/2 'lose' a program? why couldn't I
close the program? (If I double clicked on the fractint icon it
would start a new version of the program) And how do I prevent this
sort of thing from happening in the future?

set TERMCAP=full path to termcap.dat, default: /emx/etc/termcap.dat
set TERM=name of terminal entry you want (ansi, ansi-color, ansi-mono, etc)

Did you say you compiled it or just `dumped' it? Read the emacs.doc that

I've got a problem that I think is related to lazy writes.  Using

the file on disk is newer than BC thinks it should be, and asks
whether to reload the file from disk.  THis isn't so bad, but at times
when I try to run the program (when it hasn't been updated), BC++
still recompiles it, thinking the disk version is newer then
memory-based version.  Anyone experience this?  I've read that it's
possible to turn off lazy-writes (if that's the technical term) for
individual sessions, but I can't find info on it.  

Any help is appreciated.......

 I've got os2 2.0 and windows 3.1 coexisting quite well. I keep os2 on a
hpfs partition and windows on a fat partition. Os2 sees the fat disk but
windows knows nothing about the hpfs partition. The only problem is that
I was hoping to get more use out of windows, but it's pretty lame compared
to os2... (as in mickeymouse).

Joe User, when installing windows 3.1 will use the default settings.
From what has been said, the default settings will screw up previous
installations of windows even if the user does not want these to be
changed.  Thus by Pournelle doing exactly what Joe User would do, he
has brought fourth the knowledge that windows 3.1 install will mess up
previous windows setups when using the default installation. 

Why complain about one of his good Joe User columns?

Yes, there will be an update within the next weeks/months. It will fix
priority problems and bugs in the flow control code. However, even
with these bugs, the current version will not show worse behaviour than
just missing a few characters and slowing down a bit in the background.

Only low-density (Okay, double-density) Mac disks use the variable rotational
speed method.  The Mac FDHDs use a basic format almost exactly like PC
1.44 MB disks.  You can actually read text off one with Norton or a similar
sector-viewing tool.  

There is already a DOS-based program "CLINK" that will read/write these 
high-density disks in a standard PC drive, but the interface is somewhat 
ill-thought-out.  

It might turn out to involve quite a few technical wrinkles to write a really
good such beast: I don't know where one goes for information about the
format, or what one does with the Mac "Resource fork" and the finder/desktop
information.

Damned annoying. I've found the following "fix" works:

 Whenever you save a file, close it. If still needed (or if its a 
header file used in 20 different sources :-) ) simply reopen it.

Doing this is a real pain, but it stops all those crazy messages.

matter what font I select.  The fonts print properly, though.

2) Font sizing seldome works.  I usually end up with 12 point text
no matter what I specify, but on occasion do get the right size.

I have a Compaq 386/16, vintage 1987.  EGA display, 140 MB HD, 10 MB RAM.
I called IBM tech support but this was a new one to them; does anyone
have any insight to lend me?

All suggestions appreciated...

I would bet that if he had his path in an order that it would find the
SYSTEM.INI file for OS/2 first, that would cause a big problem.  Not that
I mean he did, but he might have had his OS/2 directory before his Windows
Directory in his path statement.
