Gerry Greenberg asks : Should the manual for DC DESKTOP state QUICK ST 1.8 instead of TurboST 1.8. The answer is yes and no. Yes, QUICK ST 1.8 will effectively disable DC DESKTOP, but the newer version QUICK ST 2.0 has been specifically designed to work with DC DESKTOP, and vice versa, DC DESKTOP has been designed to work especially well with QUICK ST 2.0. For those of you that have not updated, I highly recommend it. As for the demo on the disk, it is version 2.0 demo, not 1.8. Later, Lawrence Kelley asks: How much memory does it consume? Answer is: In minimal configuration, between 40-50K. Maximum configuration, without going overboard, and without having a printer spooler, about 90K. Other modules, which can be run from the desktop or installed from the AUTO folder are not included in this figure. The beauty of the system is that it is modular, and any feature you don't need or desire, doesn't have to be installed. - mike -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Double Click Me | Double Click Software | P.O.

Could one please re-sent the DCDESK demo part 01/05. We missed it, and our postings are removed quite fast, I'm afraid. You can always send it straight to me. Kris Van Hees, GHGADMO at BLEKUL11 (BITNET).

I ran the DCdesktop demo last night. I didn't have time to give it a complete workout. However, I noticed that TurboST clobbers it when it attempts to load. Maybe I have an old version. Anybody know if it Will run okay with the latest version? Shalom, lawrence

Turbo ST 1.8 is definitely incompatible with the demo. - mike -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Double Click Me | Double Click Software | P.O.

I tried to install DC-Desktop and the following happend: Itstarts all active moduls and instead of launching the desktop, it simply reboots. I tried it on an extra disk (didn't want to puzzle with my HD's auto-folder ;-) and without any accessories... No luck. The system: 520STM (1 MB) with german TOS 1.4 and SM124. The harddisk is connected via the c't-omti adaptor, but as I rebooted without it, I think the problem is elsewhere. And yes, I did follow the instructions of the .doc-file (especially concerning the sequence of the programs).
