I installed Mathematica on my IBM PS/2(386SX). I run it.
It turned out did not
work with my computer. So I deleted all the files and subdirectories.
But I found 5MB of my disk space was gone. Dosshell 4.01 shows
there is no directory left. I went to Norton. I can see
the directories still exist. But I can not get into these directories.
A real directory will allow me to enter even if it is empty. You can see
from the right panel of the Norotn that it is empty. But these deleted
directories won't let you do that. Using Norton sd command I can see a
big chunk of my C: disk is marked with X which means unmovable. How can
I remove this chunk? I am running out my disk space. I lost a total of
15MB since I tried three times to install. Help please.
Thank you very.

I bougth the hercules with the intent of debugging Turbo Pascal and Turbo C++ code, but I'm having a very annoying problem. When I load the debugger to work from the herc screen, I don't get a mouse pointer, and anything that I move the mouse over turns to bold, blinking text. If I boot with the hercules screen as the primary screen (something the VGA Wonder lets you do), I get a similar effect. Has anyone had experience with this kind of problem? I'm using a Microsoft Mouse , but I'm not sure which version of the drier I'm using. - Z - +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | PauL M SchwartZ | | | PSCHWART@vms3.macc.wisc.edu | Your message here... | | PSCHWART@wiscmacc.BitNet | only 5$ per post | | (608)255-5702 | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
