I am unable to unsubscribe from CDROM-L because the machine was located on
(muoto@nunki.usc.edu) was decommissioned and now I am on a new machine
(muoto@aludra.usc.edu).  When I try to send an unsubscribe command to the
list server it does not recognize me. What to I do?

Thanks in advance.

Subject:      CDSERVER hangs.....any thoughts??

Hi All,

We are running CBIS v2.20C on Novell 3.11 and have been having some
cdrom server (33Mhz/i486 w/16MB RAM) hangs out of the blue.

It may be related to A) New Wilson Discs being installed and/or B)
electrical work in the very near vicinity (room next door).

Everything has been fine up until yesterday.  It was several hours
after the Wilson discs were updated, and a couple hours after the
electrical work was completed.

I just this morning noticed that the new wilson discs have v2.4.1 vs
our installed v2.4   Anybody got some ideas?? We have been able to
DOWN the CBIS cdrom server, and powering down all the cd players.
The cdserver is then re-(cold) booted and things have been ok for
several hours this morning.

Thanks in advance!!

I just had the same problem.  What you need to do is to write to the
owners of the list and ask them to personally remove you.  You can find
out who ownes the list by sending e-mail to the List Server with the workds
REVIEW CDROM-L
on the first line (no subject necessary), this will instruct the list server
to send you a list of everyone on the list.  Go ahead and find your name
(so you can tell the owner which name to remove).  Then send e-mail to the
owner(s) of the list to have you name removed.  You will find a list of
owners/editors at the beginning of the name list the list server will send
to you.

I hope this information is helpful, good luck.

For information:

I recently queried the list for a way to remove MSCDEX from memory temporary 
because of conflicts between local and network CD-ROM drives. Someone 
suggested that I try the utilities in the shareware package TSRCOM. As it 
turns out, these utilities provided the answer.

I found TSRCOM on SIMTEL, and I presume it's also on the mirrors.

Thanks for the assistance.

The statutes of Minnesota are on CD-ROM disk.  I know it is
technically possible to put them on a local area network.
Whether the licensing allows that I'm not sure.

I keep hearing that Florida, Wisconsin, and a few other places are
going to do the same thing.  Perhaps others know where that stands.
The federal U.S. regulations either are or are about to be on CD-ROM
disk.  I forget the exact price but it was QUITE a bargain.

Here in Canada the CCINFO disks on Occupational Health and Safety,
though focusing mostly on Occupational Health and Safety and having a
lot of chemical information, do include case law.  You may find a
similar situation on some other specialized CD-ROM disks.

CCH Canadian Ltd has plans to put all of the Canadian income tax laws
on to CD-ROM disk.

And this office will be putting all the statutes and regulations of
Ontario - all twenty-one volumes, about 25,000 pages of double column
text - onto CD-ROM disk.  It will be bilingual - English and French.
We're looking towards it being compatible with devices such as the
IBM Screen Reader that people who are blind, visually impaired, or
physically disabled can use with computer systems.

We just issued the Request for Proposal on September 1st. It is
definitely intended that it be possible to use the CD-ROM disk over
networks.  We plan to use it on our own Novell Netware network.
The Ontario Building Code, with additional material such as case law,
is already available on CD-ROM disk.

 I have been very impressed with what I have seen with Folios.  It has a very
 quick access time, and doesn't limit your searches to just a few key words.  We
 had a research team check on the best CD-ROM text retrieval programs, and
 Folios was one of the 3
 top.

Subject:      V-server and Silverplatter

We are using the V-server gateway to allow campus access to our CD-ROM
lan.  The lan is a Novell lan with the CD-ROMs on an Infoserver 150.
When users dial in through the V-server and do a large search on a
Silverplatter item (we have PsycLIT and ERIC), they get a VAX diskquota
exceeded error message.  They then get kicked off the system or have
to reboot.

We have tried using really large disk quotas (like 22000 blocks) and
still the message on medium-sized searches.  The Virtual Microsystems
people are working on this but haven't solved it yet.  Has anyone else
had this problem and solved it?  Thanks

There are utilities to reboot, and there are utilities to run
specified programs at a specific time of day (cron like).  You
might put the two together.  I can't remember the names of either
at the moment.  Perhaps someone out there can tell you the
names of these utilities.  I remember one utility for running
a program at a specified time that came with sytos (backup) software.
I don't know if there's one available by ftp.

 Having needed to be able to load and unload MSCDEX, because of being
 short of conventional RAM on the workstations on our network, I asked
 the same question recently.  I've found that Computer Tyme's memory
 utilities - included with their MarxMenu program - do the job nicely.
 I think a number of others, that tidy up interrupt vectors, will
 probably do just as well.

 The problem of UN-assigning the drive letter is taken care of by a
 program Ralf Brown gives in his book UNDOCUMENTED DOS.  That
 makes it possible to re-load and unload MSCDEX as many times as you
 like.

Would someone who has successfully installed the U.S. Library of
Congress CDMARCS SUBJECTS cd-rom disk on a Novell network be
able to give me some hints how to get it to work?

Our networked CD-ROM drive appears as drive H:.

I can't swear to it, because the CDMARCS installation routine
doesn't say what drive it is trying to access, but I think it is
looking at another drive.

It comes back with the message that there is the WRONG DATABASE
on the cd-rom drive and "Unknown (DB)".

Nowhere in the installation process do you tell it what drive
the CD-ROM disk is on, or does it say what drive it thinks the
CD-ROM disk is on.  It is being determined automatically
somehow.

We have local drives A-H, with G being a RAM disk, and H being
left for the CD-ROM drive.  Network drives go on from I onwards.

We're using Novell Netware 3.11 and the Corel Universal CD-ROM
CD-Server software.  And we can access other CD-ROM disks
successfully.

Carolyn gives excellent advice on dosage. It is much easier and
safer to increase dosage if nothing happens, than to deal with
recriminations after a misadventure.

worked could indicate a good bit of comprehension. Hopefully,
this will be the first of many good adventures for Alex in

Subject:      SEMIOS-L list

Anne,

I subscribed to this list last week and signed off a day later ... it
produced lots of messages of interest only to academics in the field
of semiotics ("signs" -- a subset of linguistics, I guess).  Maybe
they really do discuss the more interesting-sounding other topics such
as verbal and non-verbal communication, but it was a deluge and I decided
it was far too specialized to be worth plowing through.   (I've found on
other lists of primarily academic subspecialty interest that these folks
are irrestibly drawn to showing off and sometimes to putting down, all
with a view to drawing a circle around their discipline and letting
only insiders in.  So now if a list strikes me as like that, I just get
right off it.)

If anyone sticks with SEMIOS-L, and it gets into things other than
structuralism and Peircean semiotics, I'd like to know....

     disfavor with some medical groups because of his espousal of
     nonstandard medical methods, including his very heavy emphasis on
     nutrition.

     I have met the man and been very impressed by him. And I have
     used his advice to the great benefit of my daughters, one of whom
     has severe food allergies. When Kim eats foods to which she
     reacts, she becomes extremely irritable and unable to focus her
     attention--she behaves like a kid with Attention Deficit
     Hyperactivity Disorder. When she eats properly, she is cheerful
     and cooperative. Much better to regulate her diet than to dose
     her with Ritalin!

     My two cents worth.

Subject:      Getting a job when you're autistic

My son is in his 5th and (we assume) his last year of college -- he
should graduate in the spring with a BS in Accounting.  His goal is
to become a staff accountant in a biggish company.  My concern is that
he may not be able to get hired because he may not come across as
well as he might in the job-interview situation.   (For one thing
he is far too honest and can't "BS" -- maybe that would appeal to
some interviewers, in fact, but I'm afraid he would lose out to
other candidates who are glib and seem more with-it.)

I think he is open to suggestions to enhance his job-finding chances.
Any tips from you autistic folks or anyone who has other relevant
experience?  At this point I'm doing the worrying for both of us,
as is my wont, but I would like him to make the most of his chances.

(I've thought of role-playing but I don't think I can do it anything
like realistically or assess his responses objectively....)

Thanks very much....

MK
