  Well, my friend is not well knowing in the field of computers, so I think

ask around about and stupid salespeople [tm] will understand them.

  He does have some sort of windowing programming, but it's pretty wild and
he doesn't even know how to use it completely...And he's had it for at least
a year. He knows how to work a Mac somewhat, so I'd like to get him on the
Windows track so he's in somewhat familiar territory. (No, I don't want to
get into a Windows vs. Mac flame war.)

  Well, he has a little brother and the brother wants to be able to play games

the very least, since it seems to be compatibile with everything out there.

  Also, what type of printer do you think he should get? What's a good (cheap

if he tells me that he doesn't want to overhaul his system.)

If your PC has one of those generic cases,
I would upgrade the motherboard to say a
486-33 with at least 4 Meg of RAM.

If you have a really old 40Meg Hard-disk
I would turf it and get at least a 125 Meg hard-disk
as Windows Apps can really eat up the hard-disk space.
I originally got a PC with the then standard 40 Meg
hard-disk - upgraded to 100 Meg and then added another 100Meg
hard-disk in and I am still juggling files.  In theory,
you could keep the old 40 Meg hard-disk if
both disks were compatable as master and slave.

I am under the impression that nothing else
would need to be replaced.

I concur with the request for comp.os.drdos.

I currently use DRDOS 6.0, and just tonight went on a wild goose hunt for a
STACKS setting for my CONFIG.SYS.  I know this setting is supported by
MS-DOS and PFS:Write 2.0 wanted it set to the max for any DOS version 3.3
or higher.

After pouring through my documentation I decided that DRDOS simply doesn't
use this MS-DOS setting even though DRDOS reports itself as COMPAQ-DOS 3.31
to applications.

I would also like to compare notes with other power users on tweaking my
system configuration - there are some awfully gray areas in the
documentation.

Yes, Borland writes all the Turbo products, and no, Turbo C++ isn't
the same thing as Borland C++.

Borland C++ is the 'professional' package.  It includes extra
optimization, extra debugging, a profiler, works both under Windows
and on DOS to produce either Windows or DOS executables, etc.  LOTS of
differences, many of which I'm probably not even aware of.

If you don't know the difference, the Turbo C++ package is probably
what you want.

I remember Ability.  It was a DOS program circa 1986.  It's actually a
teeny integrated package a la Symphony, with word processing, spreadsheet,
DBMS, graphics, and maybe 1 or 2 other things.  If my failing memory serves
me, it even ran as a GUI (640x200 CGA mode).

It dropped off the face of the earth.  Migent was the company that made a

	Well, if you don't mind mashing each and every file on your drive
into a single file by using an irreversible compression process with no
"uninstall" feature, PLUS not knowing quite how much space you have left on
your hard drive at any given time, hey, it's fine!  But I wouldn't put it 
on *my* system.  I suppose if you have a tape backup for emergencies, it's 
ok.  It won't save you as much space, but try PKLITE.  It only works on 
some .EXE and .COM files, but it's 100% reversible if something goes wrong.

NO, NO, NO!!!!!!!

NEVER TYPE AN UNKNOWN FILE!!!!!

Using TYPE to display the contents of a file could turn out to be a BIG
mistake.  Usin TYPE on a file with imbedded ANSI strings could remap
your keyboard (i.e. remap F3 (or any other key) to enter
"echo y | del *.*", causing deletion of an entire directory).

Use a utility like LIST.

Well, there are people who insist that it is the spawn of the devil,
but I've been using it for several years now and have never had a
problem with it.  It has been stable, faster than the raw drive for
everything but random writes, and STAC has been quite helpful (I
needed to get it upgraded to a new version, and I'm one of those
people who never bothers to register their software).

Remove the stacker entries in your config.sys.  Then delete the stackvol.sys
file from the unstackered drive.  Et voila!  No more stacker... (no more data
but that's not my problem...).

If you want to preserve the data then you probably want to back up the stacker
data to floppies, do the above procedure, then restore the backup.  It probably
won't fit onto your drive now though... (again, not my problem...).
