The manual states you must have 3M of disk space, recommends 4M.
|
|
I don't recall seeing any options about demos and tutorials being
|
|
optional. The samples take about 280K (with rounding to cluster,
|
|
that might be about 300K)
|
|
One of the reasons they recommend so much disk space is the excellent
|
|
Bitstream fonts. I find that my originally-empty \quattro\font directory
|
|
now contains about 480K of fonts. Every time you produce a font of
|
|
a particular size, it creates it from the font outlines and stores them
|
|
in this directory.
|
|
I did a rough DIR with all "my" stuff, and the fonts removed, it was
|
|
still about 2.7M.

I just brought up my RAM memory on a 286 from 1 meg to 2.5 meg and
|
|
everything has slowed down. Under one meg, everything went fast,
|
|
now it is snails pace. Many programs say they recognize expanded
|
|
memory, but really don't. I wonder if there is a hardware/software
|
|
fix for this problem. (I am using a software expanded memory driver
|
|
and a high memory driver for 64k of extended too under DOS 4,01)
|
|
Thanks.

Yep, they are thicker than I would like. My application:
|
|
Quick, portable data base and meeting reminder. My job changed
|
|
recently and requires me to remember to attend a series of meetings
|
|
in a variety of places. I set up an extra early meeting once and then
|
|
forgot to show up. At this point I thought I better experiment with
|
|
better organization.
|
|
I went ahead and am trying a PSION for 30 days. My first one crashed
|
|
several times, and the alarm is to quiet in noisy rooms. On the other
|
|
hand it saved me from missing another important meeting. I don't have
|
|
to walk around with an appointment book this way, but I'm not
|
|
sure what the weight of the PSION will so to my sport coat pockets
|
|
over time.
|
|
I was just wondering if anyone else had experimented with this thing.
|
|
By the way,
|
|
CUCKOOS EGG is the best computer book I have read since
|
|
HACKERS and The SOUL OF A NEW MACHINE. Am I early or late in
|
|
finding out about this book?

P.S. I also like the PSION Eprom set up - expensive though.

Can you tell me anything about their new machine - for example, is it

to RICHARD HINTON re: R/RAM EXPANSION SPEED
|
|
|
|
I assume that you mean that programs that use the services provided by your
|
|
EMS emulator have slowed down; if programs that aren't calling on it have
|
|
slowed down as well, then you've got purely hardware problems (did you
|
|
change the wait-state setting on your motherboard)?
|
|
If it's just the emulator that's gotten slow, it's probably because it has to
|
|
keep track of more memory, and on a 286, moving things to/from extended
|
|
memory is slow (even on my 386, a ramdisk set up in extended memory with
|
|
VDISK isn't much, if at all, faster than my garden-variety ST251-1).

|
|
Ward,
|
|
Thank you for the information. Would the FONTS you refer to be built
|
|
for Laser printers or for any displays and printouts. I have a dot matrix
|
|
printer myself but I do display charts on my VGA display. Would the
|
|
Bitstream fonts be exploited in this environment and therefore consume
|
|
the additional disk space?
|
|
Thanks again,

Looking for reference material on starting a BBS. Tried to find Bowen's "The

Complete Electronic Bulletin Board Starter Kit," but can't{
|
|
find in CHicago - need it immediately for research. Any other suggestions on

on where I can find good, fast advice on hardware/software configurations

Please advise ASAP! Thanks!

|
|
|
|
Ward,
|
|
I was reading a thread on another service when I came across a
|
|
mention of an IBM Corporation run BBS for supporting PC's. I called
|
|
thmber and was greeted with the official IBM Logo ( the one with
|
|
the horizontal bars) and was allowed to register and scan the message
|
|
and file sections.
|
|
I also noticed that the latest DOS 4.0 CSD was also available
|
|
for download along this a special program for handling the hidden
|
|
files properly.
|
|
I guess my question is twofold.
|
|
1) Is this BBS really run by IBM it has an ALTANTA GA. areacode
|
|
2) When did IBM policy change from equal treatment for all?
|
|
I can remember some time ago you were explaining how IBM
|
|
wouldn't make fixes available via modem as this would be
|
|
considered preferential treatment for users with modems.
|
|
I'm not complaining mind you just curious as to when IBM
|
|
(if it is in fact IBM) had a change in position and what
|
|
precipitated such a change?
|
|
3) The phone number(s) are:
|
|
404-988-2790 (Public Access)
|
|
404-988-1347 (Accesser Registration)
|
|
404-988-2778 (300->2400 Public Access)
|
|
|
|
The first two lines support up to 9600 baud via Hayes
|
|
Smartmodems (I think).
|
|
|
|
Thanks again,
|
|
James
