Subject: Wordperfect v5.1-reference handling macros/Bibtex macro-Got one?
Organization: Telecom Research Labs, Melbourne, Australia
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 1992 09:22:39 GMT

Hi out there in Netland,
			I was wondering if anyone out there has some
sort of a macro or anything else that works with Wordperfect which
enables you to cite references/papers in a scientific paper in a similar
way to the Bibtex package for Latex. I'm writing a fairly lengthy report
with a lot of references, and I keep having to add new ones in and
therefore renumber the rest, a bit of a bind. With the Bibtex thing, you
just cite the author's name, and it takes care of the numbers for you
right through the document, much nicer !!! If there isn't anything
available, does anyone have an idea of how to do it with the reference
feature of WordPerfect 5.1 ?? Any suggestions/flames welcome, I'll post
to the net anything I get which helps, Thanks a lot,

Hi,

Have anybody used STACKER to "double" the harddisk space?
What do you think?

Some engineers here hate it, "it sucks", "it locks some applications"
Have anybody experienced similar responses?

I have a conner 120MB at home, and I need MORE. Computer prices seems to
decrease fast, except for harddisks?

Thanks,  Victor

Yes. 3.1 comes with a full windows-hosted IDE, with a windows debugger
and an optimizing compiler.  The compiler has source-hilighting
(letting you assign color/style to different types of text such as
keywords, comments, illegal characters, strings, etc.) and project
files have support for automatic recompilation of resources.  The
Resource Workshop is also windows-based.  The profiler and assembler
are DOS-based only.

To all DOS application users in Geoworks ...

You can get each of your applications to be in the World directory by
creating a launcher for each tool. There is a public domain application
that allows you to create a custom icon for any DOS tool and have it 
generate a Geoworks icon for use. I have made over 30 of these to date
and have not had any problem in running my dos tools from the world 
director with a very nice looking icon as well!

The application is called LNCHMAKR.EXE and is available on AOL. The
application is placed in your \GEOWORKS directory and a launcher ICON
is placed in your world or sub directory where you like to put your 
favorit applications.  When you double click the launcher icon, you will
spawn off a process and a series of questions will be asked of you. The
name of the icon to use, the icon id, the application name (to appear
in Geoworks), and the path to the application executable. No batch files
are allowed - so use of BAT2COM.EXE is required.

Well worth the investment in time to do!  Took me a day to get all the
applications set to go - but now the use of the DOS room is now longer
needed.

Contact me if you need more info ...

I've used Geos with SuperPCKwik and The Norton Cache (tm), cache sizes
usually being about 1536K, and noticed nothing but an increase in disk
accesses.  I.e., it appeared to me that Geos was (somehow) ignoring the
cache.  Of course, I could have been imagining it.

Does anyone else out there know of any terminal emulations for GeoComm other

vt-200/220/300/320 series kind of thing, or a vt-100 that'd work a little
better [without modifying termcap on the unix end of things, which hasn't
worked in the past].

On a similar thought, does the SDK include documentation on how to write

Note:  The following is in no way a committment by GeoWorks...

Development PC:
	'Beefy' i386 (or better).  By beefy I mean a good deal of hard disk
	and memory space (the bigger the monitor the better too :-).

Target PC:
	Anything that will run PC/GEOS.

The PC/GEOS SDK will contain all of the necessary development tools except
for a PC C compiler (since most people already have a C compiler).  Due to
resource constraints, I believe that only a few C compilers will be
supported.  Since that decision is more than likely to be made on the basis
of how many people use the compiler, I would suggest you stick to one of
the big name C compilers (Microsoft or Borland) (since between them they
have most of the market).

>Also, are there any guesses out there as to how much the SDK will cost

I doubt if anything has been set yet but I suspect that it won't be more
than a couple hundred bucks.

Hope this helps,

I have three items:

1) Could somebody (?) post LNCHMAKR.EXE to one of the FTP sites?
2) Because of seeming incompatibilites between various versions of
   PKZIP, could another archive program be tried, such as LHA?
   The only reason I ask this is, I acquired SALVAGE.ZIP, and, although
   I could do a listing of the archive, when I tried to extract the
   files, all I got was 'Error in ZIP file!'
3) When setting up GeoWorks to run under Windows 3.x, the manual says to
   get the World icon from a file called W3ICONS.DLL (or W3ICON.DLL).  I
   can't locate this file in GeoWorks or Windows... Anybody know where to
   find it?  I also looked everywhere I could think of out in FTP land, to
   no avail.

Organization: Logrus

@Man here, your friendly Geoworks FTP archive maintainer.  I've got some
good news, and some bad news.  What do you want to hear first?


The bad news?

The bad news is that I can no longer maintain the Geoworks archive.  In
fact, it is probably going to go away sometime soon.  Sniff.

Are you ready for the good news?

Are you sure?

The good news is that, as some of you may have noticed, I have uploaded
everything in the Geoworks archives, images, fonts, and all, to
Simtel20, and by the magic of networks, daemons, and small filenames,
onto all the mirror sites as well.  This means that the files are now
not only available for anonymous FTP from multiple locations world-wide,
but are also available via various email servers!  Hurrah!

If you have new files, contact Keith Petersen,
w8sdz@tacom-emh1.army.mil, the Simtel20 archive maintainer, to arrange
an upload.

To download files from simtel20 via anonymous FTP, use FTP to connect to
Simtel20 [192.88.110.20], cd to PD1:<MSDOS.GEOWORKS>, turn on binary
mode, and snarf away.

For information on using FTP, using the trickle/earn/bitnet/whatever
servers, consult the comp.os.msdos.archives newsgroup, or ask someone
who appears to be knowledgeable.

Finally, if you have a CD ROM drive, you may know that the Simtel20
archives are available on CD ROM, updated quarterly.  I would guess that
the Geoworks files will all be on the next edition of the disc.  They
are damn cheap, $25 for hundreds of megabytes of data.  For further
information, see the alt.cd-rom FAQ.

I hope all the donators of files keep uploading to simtel20.  Once you
get the directions from Keith, it's just as easy as uploading them to
ecst.csuchico.edu was.

I certainly hope the folks at GeoWorks are listenning to all these comments
and conjecture we've been making recently.

Someone mentionned the compatibility problem with the newer releases of
Windoze, esp that you can't use DR-DOS with them. I've heard from 2 independent
sources that Microsoft did this on purpose. Someone found the code that checks
which version of DOS the machine is using and only lets it run under MSDOS, or
so they say. I seem to recall seeing something like this in a magazine article
as well. Anyway, it doesn't surprise me.

Now all we need to do is convince IBM to drop Microsoft and say DR-DOS is the
'standard' DOS and that PC/GEOS is the favored GUI package. Yeah, that'd really
stir things up! :)

     I've always been a big proponent of GeoWorks, and I recommended it to
a lot of people.  However, I'm beginning to lose faith.

     I recently installed my WIndows 3.1 upgrade, and it seems to be a lot
closer to what GeoWorks provides.  In particular, it does a much better job
of integrating my existing DOS tools onto the Windows desktop than GeoWorks
does.

     My biggest problem, though, is that there is TONS of stuff on the net
for Windows.  Gobs and gobs of icons, tools, games, demos, everything.  The
same goes for my local software store.  EVERYTHING runs under Windows now.

     I used to keep my hopes alive dreaming of version 2.0, and how wonderful
it would be, and how much stuff would suddenly arrive when the SDK was
released.  But I'm growing tired of waiting, and I have concluded the SDK is
a major loser for one big reason: you need two machines to develop any code.

     There is tons of Windows stuff available because just about anyone can
hack together a program and tinker with the system.  So few people are
equipped to deal with the GeoWorks SDK, the only development will be done
by real companies, who will probably find the GeoWorks market so limited
it won't be worth investing in.

     I am saddened that GeoWorks seems destined to fail.  If I could make
one change, I would have them produce an SDK that anyone could use, and market
it like MicroSoft did the Windows NT SDK, for $69 a copy.  Then, grassroots
development would prosper, and GeoWorks might attract a larger audience.

Reply-To: doug-taylor+@osu.edu
Organization: The Ohio State University
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 1992 13:18:03 GMT

This is a list of the changes made to the most recent version of the 
FAQ.  Basically, I extracted the lines beginning with a #.

I changed two things.  First, I re-wrote the reference to the
anonymous ftp sites to reflect the current state of affairs.  Second,
I included a section on sending a DELETE character through GeoComm.

Change 1:
#Q:  Are there any anonymous ftp sites for PC/GEOS stuff?
#
#A:  There are currently three anonymous ftp sites with 
#    PC/GEOS-specific files.  There's one at ecst.csuchico.edu.  The 
#    files there are in the /pub/geos directory.  There are now quite a 
#    few files there, but it appears that it no longer being maintained 
#    (ie, no new files are being accepted and the archiver does not 
#    respond to e-mail).  If you want to upload files here, put them in 
#    the /pub/incoming directory and send a note to 
#    atman@ecst.csuchico.edu.
#
#    Another site for PC/GEOS files is mir.eco.utexas.edu 
#    [128.83.172.17].  The files are in the /pub/geos directory.  
#    Access time is 6:00 pm to 8:00 am CST.  If you want to upload, 
#    PKZIP your file and put it in the /inbasket directory.  Then send 
#    a note to Tony Yen (tyen@mundo.eco.utexas.edu).  Use the filename 
#    as the subject of the message, and leave a single-line description 
#    in the body of the message.  Tony's doing this out of the goodness 
#    of his heart, and will take the site down if traffic becomes 
#    excessive or any funny stuff happens.
#
#    Finally, the army's Simtel-20 archive now has a GEOWORKS directory 
#    in its msdos section.  The best way to access the Simtel archive 
#    is through one of its mirror sites, like oak.oakland.edu or 
#    wuarchive.wustl.edu.  The files are the same as what's in the 
#    ecst.csuchico.edu site.  I have asked the archive maintainer at 
#    Simtel for upload procedures.

Change 2:
#    If you absolutely must send a DELETE character, try this:
#    First, create a file called DELETE.TXT containing just the DELETE 
#    (Ascii 127) character.  You'll have to use a DOS-based text editor 
#    to do it.  Then when you want to send the DELETE character, just 
#    select "Type From Text File" from the FILE menu.  In the dialog 
#    box, you choose DELETE.TXT.  That's all; you've just sent a DELETE 
#    character.
