The USENET news group "comp.sys.ibmpc.binaries" is now
"comp.binaries.ibm.pc":
comp.binaries.ibm.pc Binary-only postings for IBM PC/MS-DOS. (Moderated)
comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d Discussions about IBM/PC binary postings.
In the USA "comp.binaries.ibm.pc" software may be found on the Internet in
the Washington University Public Domain Archives in the directory:
usenet/comp.binaries.ibm.pc
I suspect there may be a local archive on your side of the ocean. The
folks at UKC may be able to help you locate one in Great Britain or put
you in contact with USENET news nodes in Manchester that might be able to
help.

Washington University Public Domain Archives
Description
A huge archive of public domain and shareware software,
including complete collections of most of the source and binary groups
from USENET, as well as an official mirror copy of the Info-Mac
archives. Also maintained in the archive is the complete source to TeX
and the X windowing system (Version 11R3) and all of the GNU Project
Software. A complete set of the Request For Comment (RFCs) documents,
and Internet Experiment Notes (IENs) may also be found in the archives.
Network Access
The archives are currently accessible through anonymous FTP from
wuarchive.wustl.edu [128.252.135.4].
Who Can Use the Archive
Anyone may use the archives freely at any time.
"README" file:
Questions, requests and comments about the archives should be mailed to
archives@wugate.wustl.edu.
There are two listings of the files in this archive
ls-lR ls-lR.Z (compressed version of ls-lR)
files.lst files.lst.Z (compressed version of files.lst)
which are in different formats. ls-lR was made with the UNIX command "ls
-lR" (why are you not surprised?) and files.lst was made using the 'find
-ls' command. The files.lst file shows the complete path of each file in
the archives. There are also compressed versions of the two listing files
that are MUCH smaller; just add ".Z" to the name of the listing file.
Here is an example of the format of each listing file, so that you won't
have to download both of them:
==> ls-lR <==
total 2038
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 1501 May 12 22:05 arrangement
d--x--x--x 2 root 512 Apr 30 21:58 bin
d--x--x--x 2 root 512 May 12 21:57 etc
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root 1239347 May 21 06:28 files.lst
==> files.lst <==

-rw-rw-r-- 1 root wheel 44032 Apr 30 20:36 ./fixes/BSD.VAX/chfn
The file 'arrangement' shows the current structure of the archive with a
short explanation of what everything is.
Most of the files in the archive are compressed with the UNIX COMPRESS
program. If you don't have access to a machine which can uncompress a
file, send mail to archives@wugate.wustl.edu and we will try to make an
uncompressed version of the file available.
The archives are available for mounting over the network via NFS. Send
mail to archives@wugate.wustl.edu for more information.

Subject: IBM AT ignores floppies
We have an IBM AT that is several years old, and has recently developed
the inability to read floppies. I can't even boot from the Diagnostics
floppy: it checks the floppies (their lights go on) and then boots from
the hard disk. The copy of Command.Com on the hard disk is also a little
peculiar: about 17K with a date of 1983. I suspect a user copied his/her
floppy onto the hard disk back when the floppies were still readable.
Any suggestions other than: check the cables, then replace the controller
board?

Subject: IBM AT ignores floppies
Try removing the CMOS RAM battery. (IF you DON'T have your SETUP program
on hard-disk.)
Removing the battery will make your AT know nothing about equipment
installed exxcept the floppies. Re-run SETUP and check that the dates for
IBMBIO, IBMDOS and COMMAND are the same as the ones on your floppy MASTER
DOS Diskette... (for whatever DOS you're running... IBMBIO, IBMDOS are
hidden...)
That should get you back on the air.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Gregory Hicks
PS - Make SURE the power is OFF before you open the case and remove the
battery. You don't have to close the case back up to test, but
you should close it up eventually... OH yes, don't make changes to
cables, battery, cards, et al with power on! Power off before you change,
power back on afterwards...
PPS - I'm sure to get 'blasted' on this...

Subject: Re: multi-user 286
On a 286, it's a bad idea. XENIX-286 would be the only way that's any
good, and it's not great. Don't even consider running any of the
multi-user DOS clones (PC-MOS, MultiWare, VM/386 multiuser, etc) on a 286.
On a 386, however, it can be done easily, and is in fact often done. Last
year I installed a PC-MOS/386 system with 22 (yes, twenty two) terminals
hung on a 386/25 (with SRAM cache, smart serial cards, caching disk
controller, etc). Performance at each terminal is at 8Mhz AT level on the
average (if everybody wants to do a big search at once, it drops
considerably). Despite the flakiness of earlier releases, the current
PC-MOS code is stable and reliable.
The various 386 *nix'es won't support as many users, but then they're
UNIX.

Shouldn't be. The linker should only pick out those functions that are
actually called, not just declared.

We had the latter problem on a similar sized project; the temporary answer
was to use an overlay linker such as Phoenix Technologies' "plink86".
This actually makes the file itself bigger tho'.
Long term, we are having to think OS/2 ...
To reduce the file itself, you may be able to reduce the data areas if you
have large static arrays. Using malloc will allocate these on the heap at
runtime instead of embedding them in the file. But EXEPACK probably does
this job better anyway.

Subject: Timing a Commercial Software Package
Well, at the risk of being over simplistic, you could write a .bat file like:
echo B >>log
time <line.dat >> log
application
echo E >>log
time <line.dat >> log
where line.dat just contains 1 empty line. You would then need a suitable
program (awk?!) to work out the total time used. It only gives elapsed
time, of course. Alternatively, you could buy or write an equivalent of
the *nix "time" command (e.g. MKS) - fairly trivial to do in C.
Of course, all this is useless if the application can't be run in this way
from a .bat file ...

Subject: INT10H-PROBLEMS
Hi there,
i have got a big problem. My PC/XT is running with a VGA-adaptor-card,
which can emulate all other modes: Hercules, CGA, EGA, VGA. It also can
run in Video-mode of 1024x768 pixels.
The character set of the card isn't so good, so i think that i can load
another character set in it. the program CHET (directory MSDOS.EGA) from
TRICKLE worked, but it is too large, because of the 8x14 font-editor in
it. i have got a much better font editor. so i tried to write an program
which load a font into the card. The problem came now:
I couldn't find any documentation about functions 1Dh to 39h from interupt
10h (the video handler).
i know that every character handling functions are hidden somewhere in
this space.
The TRICKLE documents from directory SYSUTL 1216REF.ARC and INTER589.ARC
have the same hole. All literature seems to ignore this space between 1Dh
and 39h.
DO ANYONE HAVE SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THESE FUNCTIONS? PLEASE SEND IT TO

'hidden away'. Does anyone out there kow where I can get additional
graphics files for this program, or if it has been updated beyond our
current, 1987 (Ver 1.00) program.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Subject: plotters
Hello Networkers,
Is there anybody out there who can recommend a book about plotters or any
other information source. I am working on a drawing program which among
other things will send output to a plotter. I want to make it as universal
as possible, covering a wide range of plotters. I have not much
information about any other plotter than my own. Incidentally, I am
writing this program in Turbo-C but I post this question on many bulletin
boards.
Thanks, Anneke Sicherer-Roetman, Holland

Subject: Windows286, DESQview286
Hi,
I have a couple questions concerning multi-tasking. First, I heard that
desqview cannot use ems4.0 but only eems, right? How about windows286?
Can it use ems4.0 or it is as limited as desqview286? Also, I have a DTK
286/12 motherboard, with 1meg of memory, BUT without a EMS4.0 driver. Can
someone tell me where can I get a driver to convert that 360K or so, to
EMS4.0? PD would be the best...
Thanks,
Gaspar Kiraly,Jr.
