Subject: Wanted: (pd) version control software for pc
Date: 2 Jul 90 07:47:44 GMT
I'm looking for version control management software
for the pc -- akin to SCCS and RCS for UNIX. This would
preferably be free, either source or binaries.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I was wondering if anyone might have the source code to a GIF file
viewing program written in QuickBasic ? If so, could you e-mail it to me.
Any info as to at what ftp sites might have this program would be greatly
appreciated.

Does anybody know of any commercial or public domain
BGI drivers that support the high resolution modes
of extended VGA cards ? I'm particularly interested
in obtaining drivers for the Orchid Prodesigner and
the Paradise professional.

Date: 9 Jul 90 21:32:58 GMT
I am looking for the source OR the uuencoded binary for the
PD NDMAKE utility. This is described in the Makefiles for NetHack.
I do not have access to ftp so email or uucp must be used.
If another MS-DOS make *(Unix command)* utility is available please tell me.
Thanks in Advance.

) I've never used rcs/sccs, but PCVS was cumbersome but good. It was

) versions using PCVS. It's worth considering.
Thanks for the responses.
Now, can anyone tell me if GNU sources are available on any BBS?
(respond via email, please).

Subject: Memory management of Window 3.0
Date: 12 Jul 90 23:45:07 GMT
Did you experience this problems ? I have XT-turbo clone enhanced with
Brkthru-8mz(80286, 16K cache, ROM cache on) and 2Mb Expanded memory.
Some time ago, I installed window3.0 for real-mode. Everything is fine.
But, when I exit from windows, always something was wrong. Every program
to use Expanded memory doesn't work - for example, Autocad hang when loaded.
Or WP5.1 showed very strange message "Can't find out wp.fil. Insert Diskette to
A: drive" something. After reboot, such problems disappeared. Tech support said
those problems might be associated with my expanded memory board. But I don't
have any information about manufacturer of my EMS board produced by "Sundesk".
If anybody have ones, please give me information. I thought windows might not
cooperate with some EMS LIM 4.0. I don't know exactly. Does anybody know a
solution. Please help me.
Thank in advance.

Subject: Hidden cost of exchange of motherboard 386sx
Date: 19 Jul 90 08:19:29 GMT
I am an intensive user of IBM pc. Recently I am very hungry about speed
of my PC - XT-clone with Brkthru-286 8Mz. So I like to upgrade my pc to
386SX motherboard. I am worrying about the hidden cost and problems after buying
motherboard. I have been bothered by such hidden cost whenever upgrading
my pc. I like to minimize this investment. So I needs some valuable experiences
of yours. Specifically, what I like to get are:
1. What size of mb fits xt-case?
2. Every 8-bit interface boards (i/o, bus-mouse-controller, video-card etc.) can be reused or not.
3. Can memory chips of my pc work properly in new mb.
4. How about the compatibility of 386SX mb ?
5. What kind of 386SX mb operate properly with 150W power supply?
6. Is 386SX mb compatible with 287 math-coprocessor?
I have some knowledge on IBM xt machine but I don't about 386sx mb.
Please give me some information on the above.
Thanks.

Could someone please give me an ftp site for a PC version of zoo? ARC
and LHARC would be nice, too, but are not required.
Thanks in advance. Follow-ups redirected to me.
