Hi Netter,

I need a function in DOS 3.3 which redirect a print document to a file if
there is no printer attached for the PC (or laptop). (i.e. It does not stop
at "Retry Abort Fail ?")

Anyone can give me any suggestion ?

Thanks in advance !

Tom, I tend to think your 1990 figure is wrong. I think it was closer to 5.3
billion in 1990.

Apple net sales (from the 1992 annual report):

1992 - $7,086 (thousands)
1991 - $6,308

That's quite a jump in '91, from 4 billion to 6.3 billion -- more than 50%
increase. That's why I think your number is wrong.

Well, I know exactly what he means!  I've been using DR-DOS 6.0 at home
for over a year, and I have yet to hear a satisfactory explanation from
DRI/Novel about why floppy disk access is so slow.  The MS-DOS system at
work is MUCH faster, as is my home system when I boot it under MS-DOS.

That said, I'll take slow floppies any day if it means I don't have to
go back to MS-DOS!

I don't know about this specific drive, but some segate drives (like
the ST-251) are known to have problems.  I'm not sure it's fair to
say they crash a lot, but they do have motor problems.  We have one
in a PC at work, which we leave on all the time.  If we were to power
it down, there is no garantee that the drive will spin up again ...
at least, not without turning it on and off a number of time.

In addition, when a drive "crashes" often the drive isn't at fault
but software itself.  I could tell you about the guy who trashed his
whole file system, from within WordStar!!  :-)

Forgive the typo.  The first line should say 0 problems *with* stacker, not

I seem to recall that Word Perfect for Windows will read a couple of
XYWrite formats (+ write them). It might be worth a look...

If WP4W supports the format, its quite likely that Wp4DOS will be able
to handle it via its conversion program as well (at least I THINK
there's a text conversion program - though as I've never used it, it
could all be an illusion!)

Good luck

The respondent is incorrect.  Any windows print driver can be set up to
print to a file. Open "Control Panel," then open "Printers."  Choose the
print driver you need, the click on the box on the right labeled "Connect."
In the Connect dialog box you will see a scrollable list labeled "Ports:".
Scroll down to "File" and choose it.  You're all set.  When you're ready to
print something, first go into Print Setup and choose your new driver.  Then
print.  You're get a dialog box that asks you for the name of the file you
want to print to.  Enter the file name, hit enter, and you're all done.

I will second that.  I run DESQview/386 on a 386SX with MS-DOS 5.0.  I
can download in my comm. program (and watch the byte count increase in
a little window) while doing something else in another window.  I can
run half a dozen programs in different windows, most of them only
waiting, but at least the comm. program and one other is active.

Windows is good for applications that run only in Windows.  And for
that, Windows 3.1 is way ahead of Windows 3.0.

I don't use any of the commercial services myself, but know a
number of people (including my wife) who do. Many of these 
folks have access to internet.  Why do they use the commercial
services (which aren't that expensive, by the way. GEnie is 
$5/month)?

First off, signal to noise ration is higher. There are fewer flames,
fewer totally inane posts, fewer recurring arguments
(the SF groups don't discuss "was Heinlein a fascist" every six
weeks or so).

Second, the mix of people.  There are often people they want
to converse with there.  Look at it this way: if you have
your choice of going to a free party, with a couple of interesting
people but mostly folks droning on and on about the same old thing,
or paying $5 to go to a party full of lots of people you like,
talking about lots of interesting things, which would you go to?

Third, many of the commercial services have better technical
support groups. Many software companies, for example, are
available on Compuserv to discuss problems with their products.

Date: 15 Dec 92 10:02:08 EST

When I bought my 120MB Conners drive last year I used Disk Manager to set 
it up. This means device=dmdrv.bin in my config.sys. Recently I tried to 
set up a disk cache, using the Smartdrv.sys driver supplied by MS-DOS 5.0
(bought in 6/91 I believe). Smartdrv tells me I have a non-standard 
partition and refuses (properly) to install. I also note that FDISK doesn't 
see my 5th partition.
     What are my options? I assume I need to:
1. Backup hard drive
2. Repartition with FDISK
3. FORMAT each logical partition (plan only 3 this time, instead of 5).

   Is this correct? Any short cuts available?

   I am referencing "The Programmer's PC Sourcebook" by Thom Hogan to try
and read a block from a disk unit.  On page 3-37, there is int21H, which
does just that.  It tells you what to set up before calling the interrupt,
like AH=27H, CX=Number of records to read, etc.  Besides all the registers,
there is something called DTA.  This is where the actual data read will be
upon return from the interrupt.  I searched the book and can't find what
the DTA is.  It is not listed in BIOS.H, or at least I didn't see it.  Oh,
I'm programming in C.  I use the int86() function.
   Forgetting all this, can anyone that knows how to use int27H, AH=27H tell
me where my data will be after the call?

   Also, while I'm here.  How can I turn the cursor on while I'm running
my program?  I have a getch() function waiting for a keypress, and I'd like
the cursor to be on.  Is this possible, or will I have to blink a cursor
myself?  Thanks again!

First of all, you have to understand that the folks at IBM who designed
the PC did a *major* no-no. They used interrupts that Intel had listed
as "reserved for future use". One of them is INT 5 which they assigned
to "print screen". This is used in 286 and later processors to signal
an error condition (I forget which). 

So if your BIOS is a bit lame, anything that causes the CPU to have that
error condition will cause a succesion of print screens! I've seen it on 
earely 286 machines many a time and it occasionally happens on even newer
machines (there's only so much the BIOS can do to attempt to determine
whether the INT 5 is an error condition or a legit print scrteen request.

I have this problem:

I'm trying to use a MouseTrak trackball with windows but I haven't managed to do so!

I've asked for help in the Windows-groups but noone seemed to be able to help me. If you have any information, I'd appreciate it!

But even if you don't know anything about this you might be able to help me! I'd like to know the E-mail address to those who designed this trackball, namely 

Itac Systems Inc, Garland, Texas, 75042 USA

Perhaps they can help me!

Thanks in advance!
