]The lines are at first to quick to follow and the screen scrolls off
|
|
before they can be read. I discovered rather quickly to use ctrl s.
|
|
I'll go off line and read my script file of this encounter and check
|
|
it for BBS'S. I have a Radio Shack Mod. II that I want to put online
|
|
with a Corvus hard disk for a BBS (because that's all I can Get from
|
|
my employer to try a BBS out).

|
|
to CHRIS THACKER re: CBBS USE
|
|
|
|
The way you learn to use CBBS is by observing the kind of topics that are
|
|
discussed, and participating in the messaging back and forth between those
|
|
asking, and those replying.
|
|
Please also observe the "general rules" that come by in the (B)ulletin
|
|
and (W)elcome, and you should be all set! No one is going to call or write
|
|
to you to tell you how to use CBBS. Figure it out - just like everyone else
|
|
has. No "users guide" has ever been written.

|
|
to MIKE LADA re: WORD-WRAP
|
|
|
|
Since CBBS wasn't interrupt-driven, there was no reliable way to cause word
|
|
wrap to work on message entry - what I mean is that I couldn't back up a
|
|
partial word, bring it to the next line, and NOT lose what you'd been typing
|
|
since then. However, when leaving comments, by having a CBBS running at my
|
|
house, I was just amazed that the number of people who typed continuously
|
|
ignoring the fact that the line went on and on - I guess they didn't learn
|
|
to type (i.e. on a typewriter) the way I did. SO, I just did a "crude" word-
|
|
wrap in the comments section (when you use the (G) command), one which didn't
|
|
try to back up partial words but instead just stuck in a CR at for a space
|
|
after column 70 or something like that.
|
|
Sorry it is inconsistent.

to JIM FLANAGAN re: CBBS CONNECT TIME
|
|
|
|
That is one of the mysteries of CBBS. The code looks straight forward, yet
|
|
at times it appears you are accumulating the connect time of you AND the
|
|
person before you - or more correctly, the time SINCE the PREVIOUS call.
|
|
AZ used to bug me about it until he realized it wasn't going to be fixed.
|
|
Sorry.

|
|
to BILL MATTSON re: R/UPGRADING XT HARD DRIVE
|
|
|
|
You're thinking of the <DOS> limitation on the size of an addressable drive,
|
|
based on the number of bits used in the FAT. That isn't the problem; the
|
|
Disk Manager driver takes care of it. The problem is more low-level than
|
|
that. The controller card can plainly access all 6 heads on the drive, as
|
|
DM is capable of doing a low-level format of the entire drive, and the whole
|
|
thing verifies. The problem is that when the driver is run, it insists
|
|
that the drive has only 4 heads.

|
to DON PARIS re: R/COMMAND.COM
|
|
|
|
Not sure what you mean by "can't restore your backup copies." Do you mean that
|
|
you put in your original DOS disk (you <do> have one, don't you?) and the
|
|
system won't boot? If that's the case, you have definite hardware problems.
|
|
If you mean that you can't use the restore component of your backup program
|
|
(especially if you're trying to run it off the HD), that could be because of
|
|
file corruption (which could have occurred due to hardware trouble; people
|
|
first think "virus" when confronted with many problems that have purely
|
|
accidental causes (such as power failure in the middle of critical writes, etc{
|
|
the worst case I ever saw happened when a system was using a write cache
|
|
and power went out before the cache had been flushed; pieces of one file
|
|
were scattered all throughout the file system).
