Could some kind soul please post (or email to me) instructions for unencoding and installing the More program that was recently posted. I'm totally new to this newsgroup and I'm also a novice PC user. Thanks in advance.

The 20 meg hard-drive in our AT developed some bad tracks in the FAT and directory tracks. Could you suggest a way to retrieve the data that's there? Most of the files are ok, the only problem is that the directory has been corrupted, and part of one important file. What's DOS' storage format?? Thanks in advance! Anand

I was looking for some assistance. I am thinking of getting
a packard bell 12 MHZ AT clone. I was wondering if anyone out
there has used one of these machine and can tell me if it works
well. I am planning on running SCO Zenix and a terminal off
it.
I was also wondering about tape drives. The system I am planning on
will have a 40 meg drive. I am wondering if I need a 40 meg tape
backup. Or will a smaller one work with multiple tapes.
Any help with this would be appreciated.
please send me replies by mail at

I am a kind of novice in PC world, so I post this problems to get help from PC hackers (specially graphics and dBass hackers). I have some pictures on the several papers (It is a picture composed of some bars with some marks on it, and some arrows...things like that, in other words, it is a kind of geometric figure), and I would like to make a program which read pictures, manipulate them, and produce some what modified pictures.. I have several questions. 1. Is it possible to read the figure on the paper directly inside the PC by using some special input device (such as a scanner). Probably, that kind of input device won't exist, if then, can i use digitizer for this purpose? what kind of digitizer is available to IBM-AT? 2. If there is no way to directly input the figure data, them may be, I can select some features from the figure data and make a program that produce modified figures by manipulating those selected features... For my purpose, what kind of graphic software is most useful? Is AUTOCAD useful for this purpose? I want my program (which manipulates and outputs graphics) to communicate with the dBaseIII data. What is a good approach for it? It seems that I need several advices. come on you PC hackers and graphic and dBase experts..... Please help me. Please send advices to me directly.

Hello World, What is the trick to remapping the F11 & F12 keys in DOS on a 101 keyboard. With ANSI.sys or NANSI.sys loaded I can remap F1 to F10 like this: If escape is represented as ^E it looks like ^E[0;59;"foo.bat";13p where 59 is the scan code for F1, which would make the F1 key run foo.bat. But, ^E[0;133;"foo.bat";13p where 133 is the scan code for F11, which should make the F11 key run foo.bat, does nothing. The same goes for the F12 key, scan code 134. Using a utility keymon.com I see that F1 to F10 are indeed generating the correct scan codes, as are F11 & F12. So whats really going on? or whats a guy to do?

I believe what you tried should work under DOS 3.x, but under DOS 4.x, you need to put a /X on the DEVICE=ANSI.SYS line for it to work. [I haven't tested this, but that is what the IBM document states. Also, I suspect NANSI.SYS won't support the /X.] John Baird, Naval Ocean Systems Center, San Diego, CA

ANSI.SYS/NANSI.SYS/NNANSI.SYS... read the keyboard using a BIOS call that does not return "extended" key codes. If it did then you would get different codes for the numeric keypad rather than the new key cluster -- and you probably wouldn't want that.

I received a STARWRITER printer the other day. Unfortuanately it
came without manual and software and I don`t have a driver for it and also
can't get the switches set. Does anyone know anything about them
or the company that distributes or makes them, so I can contact them
and get a manual and info.?
