Probably, someone who reads this newsgroup has what I'm looking for. If anyone out there in netland has: sources (unix multi-player & msdos single player) to Empire, sources (unix & msdos) and exe for Larn, source for Festoon, or source/exe for NDMAKE 4.*, or knows someplace I can d/l them from, please drop a line to the address below.

A friend of mine (without net access) has question and a request: Question: When a PC is turned on and the diagnostics find a problem, the PC will beep a number of times. Presumably the number of beeps indicate what the problem is. What do the beeps mean? Request: Does anyone have a schematic of the power supply use in the original 8088 Compaq portable? Even better for the whole machine? Would you be willing to either sell or photocopy them? He will pay photocopy costs. Reply to: Gary Scott (503) 641-4196 Or reply to me via Email and I will forward to him. Ken Hillen kenh@pogo.TEK.COM

I realize that I may have missed some recent discussion about this topic recently. If someone has a summary they can send me e-mail I would be grateful. I am looking for IBM PC (MSDOS and a clone actually) software that will allow me to keep a database of bibliographic references for technical and scientific journal articles and books. I would prefer public domain or shareware, but I will consider commerical alternatives. Either stand-alone software, or a template to an existing database program would work. So far I have come across a program called Book Minder ( PC-SIG disk 1178, available from uxa.cso.uiuc.edu in .../pcsig/disk1178.arc ). It has a couple of minor problems I would like to avoid. The space for the title seems too small for tech. references. (This could be over come with the other entries.) It also leaves my EGA monitor in a terrible state when it exits. The requirement for PC software leaves out any of the standard tools available with UNIX text processing.

Have you considered Bibliofile? Bibliofile is a set of tools for managing flat files. The basic tools are ked (ex-style editor, interface to vi), kord (interface to sort), kwik (interactive grep), kref (uses key words to insert bibliographic references in texts), and kawk (C interpreter that accepts data base fields as variables). Bibliofile runs under **IX (SCO Xenix, BSD UNIX, Ultrix) on hardware from AT-clones to VAXen to Suns. It also is available in an essentially identical version for MSDOS. Bibliofile does NOT have any limitation on (a) number of data fields per record or (b) length of any one data field. Bibliofile is currently priced at $0.00 but that may double in the near future. For information on Bibliofile write to the address below (not the one you get by using the r/R commands of the newsreader). Earl H.
