I would suspect that the JPEG compression in Superstor 3.0 is probably
a separate utility, rather than built in to Superstor. JPEG image
compression is very computation intensive. I doubt that it is even on
the same order of magnitude of the Lempel-Ziv algorithms that Superstor
and Stacker use for realtime data compression.

From what I understand JPEG also uses some lossless compression
techniques and that if you want to you can use it without losing any
image quality, if you don't mind not getting as much image compression.

You'll have to create a macro that contains the following:

{SYSTEM}15~{SYSTEM}12~
{Exit}{Exit}

the {SYSTEM}15~ gives you the path, and 12 the Filename. If you haven't used

on pages 817-825 of my manual.

Thanks to all who replied. The short summary is that I was sent 8-bit
wide SIMMs instead of 9-bit wide SIMMs, through an honest mistake on the part
of the person I bought the SIMMs from. He is in the process of correcting the
problem, and I do NOT want to reveal his identity.

But I will urge that if you need 9-bit wide SIMMs (all but the least expensive
clone PC's do), that you go out of your way to make sure that the SIMMs
have either 3 or 9 chips, NOT 8. Don't just do as I did and specify
"4Mbit*9" -- spell it out. SIMMs with 8 chips are great for Mac's; but not
for OS/2 or UNIX on Intel platforms.

Subject: Quicken 2:  Bad Experience
Organization: HP Roseville Networks Division
Newsgroups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc

I've just had a very bad experience with Quicken 2.0 for Windows, and even
though I am a mild-mannered individual my frustration has driven me to post
this note.

I was a Quicken 5 (DOS-version) user switching to Quicken 2 (Windows), being
guaranteed that the data files were 100% compatible between the two.
Unfortunately, this was not the case.  Quicken 2 crashed with a general 
protection fault immediately upon trying to load the Quicken 5 (DOS) data.

Making a long story short, after paying as much for telephone calls to their
support line as we did for the product, and receiving less help and
troubleshooting than I had already performed myself, I got final brush-off from
Quicken today.  They never even investigated the problem given the detailed
segment/offset information available and the Dr. Watson log information.
They suggested I get my PC checked out, even though it runs dozens of other 
software packages (including Quicken 5, and Quicken 2 with new files)
successfully.  The PC even serves as the development environment for my work,
running the windows SDK and MS C/C++ compiler.

I assume that in most cases Quicken works fine, but this experience was so
negative that I felt compelled to write.  Perhaps it will save someone some
headaches in the future.

Date: 18 Nov 92 00:18:13 GMT
Followup-To: comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc
Organization: Tektronix, Inc., GPID

I've scrounged a memory card out of a scrapped AT-clone, but don't have the
documentation or software that came with it.  I need help figuring out how
it's supposed to work and how to set the switches and jumpers so that I can
use it in another AT clone with a different configuration.

There is a label on the board, probably from some distributor's inventory
control system, which says:
	    Everex Evercom Card, Memory, AT w/0K
	    EVE-RAM8000 699755EVE13191

There are sockets for four banks of 18 memory chips.  Two of the banks are
stuffed with 1Mb 80nS DRAMS.  There's also an 84-pin ASIC with the following
labels:
	    EVEREX
	    ICC-00160-0
	    7061-0011
	    9035EAY JAPAN

There's a block of four DIP switches labelled "BOARD ADDR" near the ASIC.
There are also two 2-pin jumpers, labelled "JP1" and "JP2".  The board came
to me with switches 1&2 on, 3&4 off, JP1 open, and JP2 shorted.  I *think*
JP2 is the parity interrupt enable, but everything else is guesswork.

   I've seen it demonstrated and I think it's a waste of money. It's expensive
and you need to buy a whole bunch of multimedia stuff on top of that. The      
refresh rate isn't particularly good. The demo only ran a few seconds at a     
time and I suspect it's because you'd get a headache if you watch for too long.
Why not move the computer/tv closer to each other, or buy a sony Watchman :-)

 Yep.  A friend of mine just bought one. I was somewhat impressed, I didn't
 think it would be all that good of quality, but it was darn good.  I think
 he got his for $300-$400.  If you want more info, I can probably find out

No.  Ucalc is really an expression evaluator, so you can enter,
and edit entire expressions like:  3-(5+cos(pi/4)*10)+7.  You
simply type the expression as it appears.  Instead of registers,
it lets you use meaningful variable names.

EXACTLY what I meant by suggesting he get an intelligent controller.
I'm using a 32-bit SCSI bus-master.  Just tell it to get the stuff off
disk and put it somewhere, then the CPU can go on and not have to
worry about it because the drive takes care of all the details.  

>In short, probably the most effective is to add memory and CPU speed

Yeah, it's really kind of funny that people are concerned about all
these speed issues and then they go to using IDE and Local Bus stuff
that requires constant direct CPU attention.  If you want speed,
BALANCE THE SYSTEM.  Offload all that I/O processing to an intelligent
controller like a SCSI and to a processed video board (instead of a
dumb frame buffer hanging right off the CPU bus).

That's not very useful.

Cica is mirrored at wuarchive (wuarchive.wustl.edu) in mirrors/win3
There may be other sites, but that's the one I use when cica is filled.
BTW, wuarchive mirrors many other sites. It's a one-stop shopping center for ftp

According to their upgrade notice, Stacker 3.0 will have
StackerAnywhere (TM) which allows you to compress a floppy and
use the compressed floppy on systems that doesn't have Stacker.

As for the Windows interface, it is suppose to have a nifty
display to show how much of your disk is in use.

But, I don't think you'll see the compression is any better.  If I'm
wrong, I'll be pleasantly surprised.
