A dumb terminal may be used as an alternative console on MS-DOS systems. For example, including the command CTTY COM1 in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file will allow use of a terminal, attached to COM1, as the system console. This can be done whether or not there is any video adapter in the machine (Some systems, i.e. DELL, will boot without even an attached keyboard). ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Jan 91 12:50:57 -0500 From: wilker@descartes.math.purdue.edu (Clarence Wilkerson) Subject: characters off pc bus I think your reasoning is correct but incomplete. That's right for a character based video controller. However, the CGA adaptor does have the capacity to reset the characters. So a different video mode is used... the bit patterns are set directly in the video RAM. The character bit patterns could be anywhere for this , because the pattern only needs to be accessed when the chatacter is written, not when it's refreshed.

Actually... I'm not too sure of the cost. Mostly what I've been looking for recently are VGA cards, Monitors and a laser printer... Haven't been looking at the cost of motherboards since I bought my DTK '386 one... (Still don't have it working yet since I haven't purchased the case...) Anyway I'll measure my XT tonight and tell you what the dimensions are. A problem that I can see coming up is: If you put an AT motherboard (baby or not) in an XT case, most, if not all, of the AT add-ins won't fit. (The AT case is about .75" - 1.25 " (don't remember exactly) TALLER than the XT case.... ) At least, I seem to remember reading something like that.. Happy new year to you as well.

Well, I think I have just what your looking for. In the Public Fac. here at Cornell they use a device called VENDA CARD. It takes your money and disp- ences a ATM (credit card) type of card. Attrached to several laserjet & apple lasers are little readers that display the amount of $$ left on the card and allow access to the printer from certain mac's. It is a slick device, and works pretty good. With Cornell being out on holiday this week, I need to double check on who here is in charge of the public fac. and i'll e-mail you direct. If there is enough interest i'll post the information to the net. The device is made by a local company called; XCP Inc. 8 W.

David Kirschbaum Toad Hall FROM: Richard Crain Area # 23 ( Dr. Debug ) TO: ALL SUBJECT: Virus I have found what appears to be a virus on the factory supplied disk from Quarterdeck on the QEMM386 V5.1 diskette in the Optimize.com amd install.exe programs. These 2 programs contain a HEX signature of EAF0FF00F0 which indicates the possible presence of the 648 virus. This virus is supposed to infect overlay programs, which I have had MAJOR problems with lately. In the last 18 hours, every program that I have used that uses overlays has had its CRC change, or worse yet, totaly crash on invocation locking the system. Further, it has been only the EXE files that have changed. Also, in doing a byte by byte compare of a corrupted file with a good version on backup (tape) I find an absolute pattern of corruption in the files. These changes are the substitution of a HEX 00 00 at loctaions 68B8, 68BC, 78B8, 78BC, 88B8, 88BC, Etc..... This problem started yesterday (again) after running the Optimize program that comes with Qemm386 V5.1 . This problem occured before causing me to panic and wipe out my hard disk, secure erase, reformat, and reload without doing serious research as to the cause, I ASSUMED that a new program that I had just added was the cause. This time, I have found what I believe to be the true cause with some advise from Chris Anderson. Further, Quarterdeck has been notified and the original disk is being returned to them for replacement and analysis. Also, the disk was never written onto by me at any time, the diskette was copied and the copy underwent the registeration process. The HEX string to look for is EAF0FF00F0 --- msged 1.99S ZTC * Origin: DinoPoint 2 (1:104/114.2) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Jan 91 09:06:22 EST From: reid@ctc.contel.com (Tom Reid x4505) Subject: FORTRAN SOURCE CODE WANTED FOR RIM > From: "Gene Collins" <GR.AGC@ISUMVS.IASTATE.EDU> > Hello Everyone, > I'm looking for the FORTRAN source code for a database manager called > RIM or PC-RIM. Does anyone know of an anonymous FTP site where I could > obtain this? Please send responses to GR.AGC@ISUMPS.BITNET. Thanks in > advance for your help. > > Gene Collins (GR.AGC@ISUMVS.BITNET) I just got your message. I suspect you will not find it. RIM was a DoD sponsored (can't remember the organization but it was aeorspace) project in the late 1970s and early 80's. I was a McDonald-Douglas rep to the committee and the MDC DBA for testing it. The source was released for public domain ($250 tape charge if I remember) for about a 1 year period in around 1982. Boeing was paid by DoD to build it. It then was taken Univ. of WAshington by one of the developers who migrated it to the RBASE PC-based DBMS. There was some flack about whether this was kosher and I think Boeing bought/got back part of the action. A university professor who was the government monitor on the project also took the PD source, extended it, and ported it to several platforms. (It originally was released for IBM, DEC, and CDC.) I can't remember his name now. As you can see, my memory is clouded by time. However, unless you can find someone with one of those PD distribution tapes and a willingness to let you copy it, I doubt you will find it in the PD. Please contact me further if I can scrape up more memories. Tom. Thomas F. Reid, Ph. D.

Forwarded from: rpj@ise.canberra.edu.au, Wed, 2 Jan 91 12:04:38 EST Date: Tue, 25 Dec 90 11:29:36 +1100 From: <rpj@ise.canberra.edu.au> In comp.sys.ibm.pc.digest you write: > --has anyone gotten the LPR that comes with NCSA Telnet 2.3 to >work? I've gotten others to work, including the one that comes with >CUTCP, but not this one. I found I needed an undocumented "USER" environment variable in DOS (found it by looking at the code). Otherwise lpr.exe sets "USER" to the first word of the config.tel "myname" string (which I've just realised could perhaps be of the form "user@machine.domain.etc", I know just "user" works also but then the banner page won't have a machine name reference). ie. set USER=<unix_username> (I prefer this because the banner page then contains both the username and the machine name). This together with the rest of the lpr_man.doc installation instructions got it running. Is your job making it into the printer queue? Mine was and then just wouldn't print. > --Does anyone know of an equivalent to FTPBIN (which allows one to >do anonymous FTPs) that has more terminal support--ie scrollback, a way >to exit if the connection is hung, etc? No, but I'm sure ftpbin allows scrollback via the SCROLL LOCK key (number of lines set in config.tel etc.), and the latest beta version (2.3b13 at least) has a "more" toggle command to page output. The way to exit a hung connection could still be a problem. CTRL+ALT+DEL is definitely not acceptible :-).
