I think the /y switch is because you have MS Windows installed?
(don't know what it actually does)

As usual, the MS mouse Users Guide is no help

>(Sorry Timo)

That's perfectly all right and welcome.  I'll try to give what I
know.  There are three Garbo mirrors, and only one is in US, that is
wuarchive.  It and the reast are listed in the MsDos FTP site list
   6525 Jan  4 14:47 garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/pd2/moder18.zip

>But as long as I am posting on the subject anyway, is there some convention

>paths?

The said list gives the major mirror directries at the relevant
mirror sites.  There doesn't seem to be an overall convention.  It
is more or less individual on the mirrors, just like it is on the
actual parent sites.  Thus the moder18.zip list is really the first
key to your questions.  (Which, incidentally, are very relevant in
this group, just like I am pleased to say has been practically
everything that has been going on in here). 

The summary (whether speaking of mirroring or the original sites) is
that each FTP site is an indivudual even if there can be
similarities.  Occasionally there have been demands to standardize
(in comp.archives.administrative a year ago), but my response has
been that if someone wants to standardize, they are welcome to take
their cues from us, or pay us really handsomely.  Keith's response
has been approximately the same. 

   All the best, Timo

Due to the restrictions on the exporting of encryption technology, this
program cannot be legally offered by any FTP site in the USA or Canada
that can be accessed from other countries,

We'll have to wait for an "Export Version", which will hopefully be
supplied by PKWare as they did for PKZ110.

Ooooh? ... hopefully, the national security guys in the States aren't
reading this ... :)  So, what about wuarchive? Legally, they should not
mirror some files (pkz204c.exe included) from Garbo (unless wuarchive
can make sure those files are downloaded by users in US/Canada only) ...

What does it do? It downloads files from FTP sites (as a background

Is there a PC version?  Not that I know of.

Will there be?  I have no idea.  That is up to the author.

I've been using those programs with DOS 5 for some time with no problems.
Most likely what happened is that your executables got corrupted somehow. Try

Yes, but after registering two or three programs you have fifty million key

caps on each key creating total havoc.  I think a more advanced version

should be offer and not even display any feature on the shareware (or Lite)

version that is not implemented in it.

Host wuarchive.wustl.edu    Location: /mirrors/msdos/cplusplus/serial-1.zip

I have a problem with this object-oriented c++ package that is
supposed to do interruptdriven communication through serial-ports with
9600+ bps. (or less). This package is very nice written (in my point
of view), BUT:

When the com-port is initialized (some programming of the uart, which
I know nothing of), I 'loose' my mouse... :( And i _do_ use different
ports for my mouse and my comm. :-\

Of course, I can not trace this using BC3.1's integrated debugger, as
this error doesn't show up untill it's too late. And I don't know what
the programming of this uart does.

Has anyone experienced the same problem? Does anyone know what to do?
I'm really annoyed by this...

It's much like most speed limits and other stupid laws... the only bad
thing about violating the law is getting caught.  There's no moral,
ethical, or other dilemmas in breaking a bad law, as far as most are
concerned, and this is one of the worst.  That would imply some sort
of respect for the legislators and enforcement agencies other than
fear of getting caught.  The newletters devoted to the subject are a
good example of how respected laws are that forbid listening to
cellular calls.

Consider that all someone from out of the country has to do to get it
is call the PKWare BBS (or any US BBS that has the program) direct.  I
know that one of the first DES applications (another "forbidden
export" technology) came from Denmark.

  Nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law
  of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced.
                               -- Albert Einstein

and, of course

  It is difficult to legislate morality in the absence of moral legislators.

Hi all:

One of my users was wondering if there was a DOS shareware program in
the same vein as the Windows 3.1 "MineSweeper" game?

If so, pointers to it would be most appreciated.  Please respond via
e-mail to save bandwidth.

Thanks in advance!
