And merry Xmas to you... Now on to business.

It just so happens I am an authorized Laser Master reseller and I have
reasonably good luck getting info from the bowels of LM. I need to know
*EXACTLY* which board, which printer before I can get you what you are
looking for.  Happy Hanakkah!

The install procedure is intentionally paranoid.  If it thinks you might
need double-buffering it will install it.  The way to tell whether you can
safely remove it is to run SMARTDRV from the DOS prompt.  The last column
of information that it gives you tells you if double buffering is needed
for each drive.  If all the entries in that column are "no" you can remove
the double_buffer line from your config.sys.  If any of the entries are
"yes" then you will always need double_buffering for that controller.  If
some of the entries are "--" then SmartDrive does not yet had conclusive
evidence for that drive yet, check again later.  (A good way to give
SmartDrive the evidence it needs it to open multiple DOS boxes in 386enh
mode and do disk access from all of them.)

I have tried that, but it seems to have no effect.  BTW, I have already
tried modifying the PerFMFiles line in system.ini--no effect.


Any other ideas out there before I reinstall Pdox?  It still does
work from DOS flawlessly--it's only in Win it has problems.  Heck,
might just run it there from now on as it seems to run a lot faster
and in protected mode easily.

Thanks for all the help folks!  Happy Holidays!

Continuing on with the question of replacing program manager, we have
implemented an application in which we replaced the shell= with our
application name so that the users no longer have access to PM. We provide
menu access to a number of Windows utilities. We have found that a number
of functions do not work properly (such as screen savers...). What
consequences are there when you don't use program manager or a substitute?

Chris,

CI$ only provides mail access to the Internet for its subscribers.  You can
subscribe to any mailing list just as you do now.  The format of an Internet
address for CI$ is :

>INTERNET:user@domain

So one can send mail to any listserv and get added to the list.  HOWEVER...
CI$ has a limited mailbox capacity and the time you spend reading mail counts
on the old CI$ taxicab machine.  I think someone once posted (long ago) that
the CI$ mailbox will only handle up to 70 messages at a time.  Messages beyond
that are simply tossed into the bit bucket.  If you sub to several lists, then
you'll likely get over 100 messages a day.  So be prepared to process them
all each day.  (Apparently they, CI$, get kinda perturbed if you don't empty
out the inbox on a regular basis...) You'll need TAPCIS or OZCIS or CIM if
you want an automated way to pull down all your messages.

This all sounds like a downer, I know, but CI$ does offer some cool capability
that you can't get elsewhere, even on the net.  So consider it all carefully.

And for Pete's sake, don't go running off to Prodigy.  Now there's a service to
avoid... Oh I should be nicer, it is the Christmas season...

I am looking for an alternate keyboard driver/DLL or any info on how

keyboards that maps AltGr-c to c-cedilla, AltGr-s to s-cedilla etc.
(the right-side Alt key is named AltGr). The Alt keys functions as
the menu select key as usual.

I have a keyboard with US layout instead of the Turkish layout, so it's
rather inconvenient for me to use the KBDTR.DLL supplied with Windows.

I am willing to develop a DLL and supply the source to willing parties,
I just need to know the structure of GETKBDTABLE in the keyboard DLLs.

i use carbon copy for windows to dial in and take control of the personal
computer and gain access of the network.  it includes a windows based file
transfer utility to move files between the machines.  the modems on both ends
are satisfaction 400es.  overall, i am very pleased with the setup and use it
frequently.  i allows me to gain access to the network scheduler and phone
log (packrat), the mainframe host (via rumba) and all the other windows
programs. it is not realistic at less than 9600 baud and even then i avoid
some programs that have heavy graphic screens; it can take forever to paint
the remote screen.  i use the password protection features and call back
options.

it does require some patience.  running windows remotely at even higher speeds
is a challenge.  you quickly learn to avoid certains types of operations.

as a side note carbon copy for windows loads and runs while windows is
running. it is not loaded at the dos prompt.  you can access dos by starting
a dos session. i also seem to remember that it will not support full-screen
dos sessions.

My personal favourite is Lucida Sans Typewriter, from Microsoft's original
TrueType Font Pack.  Lots of sizes available, and I find it much more 
pleasant than Courier New, which is the only other monospace TrueType font
I have.

The Windows manual is a good place to start.  Also, Brian Livingston's book,
'Windows 3.1 Secrets' is very good.  And yes, you will want to plan different

I have it, and I've tried it; but I don't find it sufficiently clear for

solution I'm happy with, though; see my followup post for details.
