|
|
|
|
My program publicized by Ma Bell <does> handle several phone numbers in a
|
|
data base's record, changing only those with a '312' prefix, not those
|
|
with '708'. As a 'generic' program, though, it relies upon the address to
|
|
determine whether to update the '312' numbers. Of course, this logic doesn't
|
|
deal with situations where one (or more) numbers remain in 312 and another
|
|
or others must be changed. As the documentation notes, in some such cases
|
|
you might want to run the program and "touch up" the bad records. And, if
|
|
your DB contains a bundle of such "exceptions," you may want to either
|
|
write a dedicated program, modify the source code (provided) or just do it
|
|
manually. (Hey, whatcha expect for $0?!) It has been helping a number of
|
|
folks, though. So the effort was worth it.
|
|
|
|
The prefix approach would be ideal, except that Bell has been playing games
|
|
about all that. I'd suggest you call the board I run and do an S;'708' (note
|
|
semicolon and SINGLE quote marks) in the msg base for a detailed outline
|
|
of that issue. And if you have further comments, I obviously get on there
|
|
frequently, whereas less so here. Thanx for the comments, though.

to JAMES SCHMIDT re: R/CLEANING DRIVES
|
|
|
|
I more or less agree with Ward's comments. If your system runs primarily
|
|
off a hard disk, I've found a cleaning once every 6 months to a year is
|
|
about right, depending upon the environment. On the other hand, when I
|
|
was using a single computer which had only floppies, I'd need to clean
|
|
it nearly once each month. These days, with 6 machines, most using HDs,
|
|
I hardly know where I left my cleaning kits (grin). Seriously, I now tend to
|
|
clean drives only when they show signs of difficulty in reading/writing.
|
|
One often-overlooked question is whether to use the kits which include
|
|
liquid you spread on the cleaning disk or the abrasive type. I'm convinced
|
|
it's good to have one of each around. The liquid kits are <much> easier
|
|
on a drive. On the other hand, I've had several experiences over the years
|
|
where such kits didn't do the job. In that case, do a quick run with the
|
|
abrasive disks. Virtually always, that solves the problem.

I may be interested-didn't we exchange msgs about this before??
|
|
Is your copy of XENIX/386 version 2.x? I'm really looking to go
|
|
with a flavor of UNIX V version 3.2, but for that price I may be
|
|
willing to do it, just to get acquainted before laying out more $
|
|
for an upgrade.
|
|
What is included in the package you've got? Specifically, does it
|
|
include development tools; C compiler, make, sdb, etc.? Also, how
|
|
about text processing tools? And finally, does it include a DOS
|
|
shell that allows running DOS programs as tasks, and a file system
|
|
which allows cross-access (DOS prog-> UNIX partition/file,
|
|
UNIX prog-> DOS partition/file)??
|
|
I'm really looking to set up a UNIX/DOS machine and do low to med.
|
|
level development in both environments.
|
|
Please drop me a msg. with more info. If I don't hear anything from
|
|
you I'll probably give you a buzz on the phone.

|
|
|
|
Oops! Forgot a couple of questions in my other reply.
|
|
These concern hardware compatibility. First, does the XENIX you
|
|
have support ESDI disks/controllers (specifically the Adaptec 2322B
|
|
ESDI controller and the Miniscribe 3130E drive)? Does it support
|
|
VGA (or at least EGA) adapters-specifically the Paradise +16 card??
|
|
These are important considerations for me. Also, do you have any
|
|
idea if one can buy hardware that allows a standard mono monitor and
|
|
AT Enhanced type kbd to be linked to the CPU as a terminal?? If so,
|
|
what is it? Thanks in advance!

Bob, I like and use an old program. ThinkWorks from Megahaus, It's ProDOS

but I'm not sure if they're still in business. MECC also has a nice simple one.

Free if your schools a MECC member. It's just called the MECC

to ALL re: CLEANING DRIVES
|
|
|
|
In my eight years of computer use, I had never cleaned a disk drive. Nor
|
|
have I ever demagnatised them. I also never had to replaced a worn out
|
|
disk drive head. Nor do I have read/write errors caused by my heads. Also
|
|
never would I recomend the abrasive type of cleaners. That is a good way
|
|
to end the life of a good head. It is like using sand paper on them. True
|
|
it works, but your heads have a shorter life.
|
|
|
|
All that I have studied about the subject. Most experts say the type of
|
|
disks are the important factor. Soft (cheap) disks causes more dirt and
|
|
requires more cleaning and hard (big bucks) disks wears your heads more.
|
|
BTW, dirt can wear the heads too!
|
|
|
|
So what do you do? You got me? Do you want to keep your drives a long
|
|
time? Then don't clean them unless you have problems. I doubt that
|
|
cleaning the drives will ever help in most cases. As it never helped me!
|
|
BTW, the disks I use, the cheaper the better!
|
|
|
|
I do oil the drives with sewing machine oil about every eight months or
|
|
so. That's seven disks drives I do that to, and never clean the heads.
|
|
Plus if the heads do build up a film. It will really pervent your heads
|
|
from wearing out. If it still reads and writes, what more can you ask?
