| Stef....you are VERY welcome here. The AVAChat is temporarily down
| ...because they \"improved/upgraded\" their servers....<g g g>...You
| remember that they did the same thing right after Jake and I took
| over the AVA site from Hoody....it is the subdirectory pointers,
| again....almost certain...
| ...
| Jake has some family problems, right now, so he is not getting time
| to work on it....and I am a bit overloaded, myself, with getting my
| home setup for Winter, etc.....so...I haven\'t had time to do more
| than just brief scope it out.....but....we are pretty sure it is
| the same thing as the last time....which requires only some changes
| to the subdirectory pointers in one or two files...then our scripts
| can find their data/etc files, again..
| ...
| Until then, feel welcome to come here, and to go to Glenn McCorkles
| ChatBoard...

| gregy....Warp4. They promise in the manual that it is possible to
| quickly switch from OS2 to WIN95 with the \"Dedicated WinDos session\" (or
| so). Did you ever try it? It reads nice. Because close down OS2 and new
| start Windows takes its time. This way one could use those many Windows
| programs e.g. Nero burning software. It is said dummy proof....I like
| that :-)) I looked for the Warp updates and found FP15. It needs the
| preparation of 18 diskettes and some tool. And I am not certain that the
| browser will become up to date. Nowadays you need Javascript and Flash to
| order tickets or look at the time-table of a theater or concerthall.
| Arachne alone can not do it. Even for ebay I need MSIE5 better 6. You

| Glenn\'s ISP\'s servers don\'t handle the \"strip slasher\" properly, and

| ...but...then...
| Glenn\'s servers WILL run \"index.php\" as a straight substitute for
| \"index.html\"...while my servers will NOT run it, hence I need to run

| ger....that problem sounds like it has to do with the serial port
| settings of your driver.....what SerialI/O drivers are you using...???
| ...
| and...what CONFIG.SYS settings does your SIOdriver load with...and
| ...what DOSsettings do you have for SerialIO.....????
| ...
| Version 1.69 always worked with no terminal mode...I can\'t remember
| how 1.71 worked...
| ...
| I apologize for not being able to give immediate answer...I haven\'t
| been working much with my computer(s)....very little, at all....and
| that includes WARP....
| ...
| I will, this week, reload 1.71 on Warp3 and check to see what my
| SIOdriver config.sys loading-args are, and my DOSsettings...

| Keep coming here, until I get the AWARP board up, then we will do

| GREGY, hello! The hole in the messages I spoke of: last msg. glennmcc
| Oct. 2.2003, 4:37:46pm,,\"They were completely down.....\" 
| next msg. glennmcc Oct.7, 7:36:18 . There inbetween was my message and I
| think others too.
| The browser:Arachne 1.69 (works nearly ever)
| SIO-driver: Ray Gwinns (the only working one)
| Setting: RTS and CTS on,(XON/OFF=off)
| Dos settings: DOS=high, DOS=UMB
| These DOS settings were the only one which I used all the time with
| Ara1.69. Then I made 2 or 3 times chkdsk with the ServiceDiskettes and
| 1.69 worked only in terminal mode.
| The aforementioned DOS-settings for games are many: DOS_HIGH,
| DOS_UMB,HW_ROM_TO_RAM=ON, HW_TIMER=ON, IDLE_SECONDS=60,
| IDLE_SESITIVITY=100,VIDEO_FASTPASTE=ON,VIDEO_RETRACE_EMULATION=OFF,
| VIDEO_ROM_EMULATION=ON. Which one is the really important one?? In any case
| Archne 1.69 works again without terminal mode.
|
|
| ============================================================================
|
| Thu, Oct 09, 2003 - 6:19:42 pm

| The memory requirement of 1.71 is a bit higher than for 1.69
|
| Maybe that is what\'s causing the problem.
|
| BRB with the diff.
|
| ============================================================================
|
| Thu, Oct 09, 2003 - 6:26:20 pm 
|
| glennmcc>
| Scratch that.... It\'s the other way around.
|
| 1.71;UE01 uses 1kb less memory than does 1.69
|
| ============================================================================
|
| Thu, Oct 09, 2003 - 6:29:13 pm 
|
| glennmcc>
| Just for the heck of it.
| Try using the arachne.cfg from v1.69 over in the dir with v1.71
|
| Maybe one of the settings in your current v1.71 CFG file is doing it.
| (perhaps the memory setting for animated GIFs)

| Gerald...yes...Glenn\'s suggestion might be useful...try it....
| ...
| Also...are you installing Arachne in a \"DOS Full Screen\" session, or
| in a \"DOS Windowed\" session...???
| ....
| Also...when you CHKDSK, you can get some of your really complexe DOS
| graphics programs garbled-up a little bit.....
| ...
| So....reinstall Arachne1.69 completely from scratch as you installed
| it before....and see how things work....OH..!!! remember to completely
| delete your existing 1.69 install, first.....OOPS...!!! NO...!!!
| don\'t do that delete..
| ...
| Not until we get your directory structures straightened out, so that
| you do not have your mail directories located within your general
| Arachne install-location...and we need to get your ArSYS files located
| outside in their own directory, too....so.....
| ..
| First thing you need to do, is email-attach me a copy of your CONFIG.SYS
| for your working, now-installed Arachne, especially I need to know where
| your email-directories are located, and where your COOKIES, HISTORY,
| HOTLIST, etc are located...
| ...
| Once we get those items separated from your general Arachne-install
| directory, we can do some deleting/reinstalling....
| ...
|

| Gerald....CORRECTION..!!!...my brain isn\'t working, at all, right now..

| CONFIG.SYS... forget the config.sys....

| <g g g>
|
|
| ============================================================================
|
| Thu, Oct 09, 2003 - 10:50:00 pm 
|
| gregy>
| Gerald....SECOND THING we will do....oh..well...we\'d better just wait
| a bit, until we get your directory structure straightened out...AND...
| I want to get you \"fix-paked\" up to FixPak40...and get you running
| Arachne from a RAMFS ramdisk. Then we can do ONE good Arachne install
| ...get it\'s DOSsettings set for optimum for general use....then make
| ProgramReferenceObjects for each different use you use Arachne for, and
| set their DOSsettings to optimize for that use (i.e. gaming, etc)..then
| you don\'t have to be continually trying to straighten out bent/broken
| installations of Arachne.
| ...
|
|

| Thu, Oct 09, 2003 - 11:06:58 pm 
|
| gregy>
| NOTE....I do NOT EVER have problems with my ArachneInstallation getting
| currupt, over a period of time.....
| ...some people have complained of corrupted ARACHNE.CFG, and other files
| ...but...I ....NEVER...!!! have these kinds of problems....
| ...WHY...???
| .....because, a long time ago, I realized that using my 56Kbyte dialup
| connection....I was going to HAVE to run, at least, Arachne\'s CACHE on
| a RAMdisk....AND also.....since Arachne run from a HDD will ALWAYS
| thrash the drive somewhat...that I needed to run my whole ARACHNE (not
| just the CACHE and TEMP directories) on a RAMdisk....
| ...so...I just went to entirely RAMdisk Arachne operation...except for
| an occasional TEST installation, just to test how it was operating from
| a HDD....
| The RESULTS...??
| ...I get blinding fast downloads - the maximum that my 56Kbyte phone
| line is capable of.
| ...I get things in my Arachne Installation messed up...???...fine...I
| just reboot, and I start with a totally fresh working Arachne...with
| everything neat and clean....no bugs or corruptions....<g g g>
| ...Every time I shutdown for the night...then next day fireup again..
| ...I start with a totally clean, fresh install....
| ...HEY...!!! Arachne-on-RAMdisk is the ONLY way to go...and that
| means, ArachneOS2, also....
| ...in fact...the generic OS/2 ramdisk FSRAM is THE optimum, RAMdisk
| available on any OperatingSystem, today...with it\'s auto-resizing, 
| on-demand-allocation....it can\'t be beat....so...
| ...we\'ll get your ArachneDirectoryStructure straightened out, get your
| Arachne fresh installed, get several different ArachneProgramReference
| Objects setup for your different uses....then get you setup with a
| nice FSRAM installation, and FixPak40...and....get you a couple of
| the \"DOS from Drive A\" specific DOS and Win3.1 diskimage installs to
| play with, and...maybe we can even get you a W95diskimage running...it
| seems that it may be possible....(don\'t quote me on that...because I
| haven\'t yet tried it myself...)...

| Jake, et al....I have \"restored to normal\" the basic AVA site. The

| consult with Jake, before I upload the directory changes I have
| made. 
|
| If you access CHAT.PL you will see that the ERROR is a CANNOT OPEN

| AFAIK, this "help option" was originally introduced in DR-DOS 5.0 and
| was later copied by M$-DOS and many DOS applications. Basically, to get
| help for a DOS command (etc.), just give "/?" as a parameter to the

| I've her (Arachne) stripped down so small that her installation fits
| on a 1.44 floppy! When she's zipped up into a self extracting file
| she's about 510K. Most of the font files are missing. No email and no
| djpeg at that size. When I ran her from the floppy I had to make a 
| c:\cache, c:\cache\headers and set arachnetemp to a small ramdrive\temp. 
| Not very fast soooo, I made a 1.5 meg ramdrive on this 486sx with 4 meg
| ram and I xcopied her to ramdrive with a small arachnetemp set to the 
| small leftover ramdrive\temp and cache=c:\cache (with cache\headers) and
| cacheindex=c:\cache.idx. She works well. Oh, I forgot to mention the
| best part- that 1.44 disk was a (ptsdos) bootdisk!
|
| What I'm actually trying to do is make her selfextracting small enough to
| put her on a 720k bootdisk with plenty of room left for other utilities.
| That would also be great for a 1.44 emergency disk. Could fit 720k more 
| utilities on it.

| Gregy you can try the alpha version at the posted address. It will

| completely extract and run from a 1.44 PTSDOS (PhysTechSoft - small

| Gregy, I have been using a 'free' FTP client. BatchFTP. Not bad for 'free'
|
| I gives you an Explorer view of your FTP space and the DIR where your files 
| such are kept, Basic drag and drop stuff.
|
| It also allows you to open a zip file\tar.gz on the server without downloadi
| it first..
| Also, you can rename,Remove,delete,makedir, I can go on and on. 
|
| Glenn checked All-APM, and it came out fine, so I figured if I could just un
| that folder, all contents would be UN currupted..
|
| <YA right>
|
| Winshit did it again!
|
| So, I guess the what I am trying to tell you....
| I have to Transfer all-APM.zip to my DOS\Arachne box.
| Unzip it,
| Then Telnet each APM to my site, in order for it not to get "tainted"
|
| But of course, this is after I go thru all 90 that are in this Zip file.
| Because there is only 42 mentioned @ home.archne.cz and my site...

| Bear....yeah...that is what I said was prolly the problem....your (and

| Bear, 
| make a ramdisk and xcopy arachne to the ramdisk!
| Change your arachne.cfg settings to save mail and downloads to the 
| hard drive. Simple.
|
| You can find and use xmsdsk on the web. (To make the ramdrive)
| Unzip it and read the docs...
|
| Now what else did you think we would use all that ram memory for when we
| are in DOS? ;-)
|
| P.S. We COULD take you by the hand, put you in a clean pair of pull-ups
| and walk you through the neighbourhood but it's just would not be as
| much fun as watching you discover things, stumbble, get spooked and
| get back up and keep going. hehehe
|
| OK... now if something really goes wrong as you explore the world by
| yourself, you can always call on us to pick you up and brush you off. Now 
| go. Have fun. Explore...
|
| And don't forget to come back and tell us what you found.

| Bear....I don't know where to start you on "getting started with a
| RAMDisk"....I don't wanna send you whizzing around in circles....so..
| let's start out slow...okay...??
| ...
| Please read the Arachne F1 Help documentation on RAMDisks...I think
| most of it is under the heading of "Memory"...there are .HTM and .TXT
| files....
| ...
| Read them first just to get the flavor of RAMDisk...then, we can 
| prolly get you pretty easily into using the RAMDisk that comes with
| DRDOS, MSDOS, PCDOS....
| ...
| It may be more useful, after your first ArachneF1 read, to download
| the xmsdsk that Reset suggested, and read its README...I don't know..
| ...
| RESET...???? Does that xmsdsk have a pretty good README...for Bear to
| get into, as a second step....???
| ...
| Whatever....we should be able to get you running Arachne from a RAMDisk
| pretty easily....you're "computer literate"....and used to reading
| the manual...now...since your profs have hammered that into you...
| .<g g g>
| ...
| Basically...the HELP and READMEs are gonna lead you into:
| 1. Using your existing DOS MemoryManager (whatever that may be...I am
| using DRDOS EMM386, now...but probably changing to QEMM in the near
| future) to set up several MegaBytes of your (unused, in DOS) RAM as
| a RAMdisk. This RAMdisk will have a standard FAT file structure...so
| it'll be "business as usual" there...no surprises, etc
| 2. Getting an Arachne Installation set up to use that RAMDisk...and I
| can help you get the optimum there....I use it religiously...<g g g>
| (hint - one of the key factors it to do an original Arachne Install
| to the RAMDisk, then xcopy it down onto a HDD. Then your A.BAT file
| you launch Arachne from is written to xcopy Arachne from the HDD back
| up into the RAMDisk, each time you fire up....this only takes a few
| (15-20) extra seconds...)
| ...
| Anyway....we can discuss it further....and help you out...and you'll
| soon be running "OptimumArachne"....whereever you go....<g g g>

| used to finding all of them, after a while.....<g g g>

| As for Insight Mail being written in Pascal....NO...sorry...all of the
| various major Arachne Package parts are written in C...

| LEKA....I thought that Delphi also coded into C...doesn't it have that

| ...
| RE: DOS IRC client that acts like mIRC....I don't know of one...I
| use mIRC/Win3.1 sometimes, when I'm not using VIRC/OS2....I have used
| the jpIRC, and it is satisfactory, for a barebones IRC client that can
| be used on one channel at a time....when you start trying to use it
| for two or more channels, you begin to see the advantage of windows
| (I mean "windows" NOT WHINGEDOZE from Mizro$loth)....jpIRC is written
| in TurboPascal...and the source code is available...you might try
| rewriting it, and improving it with windows...<g g g>..

| rem put command.com on the RamDisk
| copy c:\command.com l:\
|
| rem use this copy as 'comspec' instead of the one over on the HDD
| rem (now there will be no HDD access when Arachne needs to 'call' command.co
| set comspec=l:\command.com

| yeah...he DID that, alright...!!!.....which is why I suggested to 
| Bear that he START getting a feel for RAMDisk by reading that stuff...
| ...including Clarence's file....
| ...
| Now, Bear...I don't hafta do anything else, as long as you go get
| XMSDSL.EXE and do it JUST as Glenn says......if you wanna do it using
| the DOS MemoryManagers...it's pretty simple, also....
| ...but...I suggest you use Glenn's whole shebang...it's a proven
| winner.....<g g g>

| now..your question WHY..?? Glenn laid out the basics....you may not
| have picked up on the "effect" of those advantages...yes..speed..but..
| this is because of the PRIMARY advantage...Glenn mentioned it..but not
| in these words.....
| ARACHNE THRASHES THE HARD DISK DRIVE...!!!.....it's as basic as that..
| ...Arachne does...and this causes some horrible noises, extra HDD
| wear and tear....added access times for almost all actions....and...
| any "memory dribbles, etc" that find their way into ARACHNE.CFG, etc
| will remain there forever (or until they force you to wipe the whole
| ArachneInstall and install new)....
| Whereas....RAMDisk install.....NO disk thrashing....in fact...once I
| xcopy up into my RAMDisk, I get almost NO disk accesses....this makes
| it run FAST..!!!..even on this 486dlc 40MHz box I've been using for my
| primary webinet box....and...if/when I get "mem-dribbles" corrupting
| some of my ArachneOperatingFiles....if they don't lockup my now-running
| Arachne....they disappear as soon as I shutdown....because what's in
| RAM goes away, as soon as you reboot, or turn PWR OFF....but...since
| you like to run your boxes "forever" without shutdown....why...all I
| would do, in your case, would be to re-xcopy Arachne from HDD up to
| RAMDisk every so often....it won't hurt anything...and new, fresh files
| will overwrite the old/tired files......<g g g>
|
|

| So...some of the advantages....
| ...
| And..thanks Glenn...for laying it out so completely and clearly...it
| saves me having to go dig it out, myself....
| ..however....I'm thinking that NOW may be the time to go over to 
| XMSDSK, myself...
| ...hmmmm...well...
| ...maybe on that "new" p133 I'm beginning to install, right now...

| Glenn, Thank you! Was altering link you gave me, to see if I could find on y

| Didn't want you to have to touble yourself with uploading stuff to me. ( Unl
| your on DSL ) Dial up modems are way to slow!
| Was @ one of my family members today. THey wanted me to take a look @ her cu
| she was running slow...WAY slow. So (start,run,Msconfig) turned off allot of
| crap that didn't need to be running. Then I had to download Ada-ware 6.0...M
| I fell alsleep waiting for that to download..
|
| Anyway, cleared out over 1 Gig of Spyware components!, Then ran scan-disk,
| chkdsk, and De-fraged. SHe runs like a new born baby....
|
| And of course, I coudn't except any money because of the *family* thing.
|
| Anyway's .....the link will be just fine.

| Yep... that's all the same stuff I had to do to my sisters' machine.

| But I also had to go in and manually delete 37 references to Norton

|
| She had uninstalled Norton over a year ago and got Macafee (SP?), instead.
|
| But the registry was still trying to find Norton everytime it booted-up.
| (and everytime that you did anything at-all which might require virus

| It's very similar to Commander Keen.

| I don't recall right off hand wheather it was Wizzy or Tele

|
| No ... it was not.
|
| It's not possible for that to cause any problems if not loaded.
|
| All setver does is to masquarade your current version of DOS as being
| some other version.
|
| And only when you run some program which checks to see which version of
| DOS you are running.
|
| Since you have setver loaded right now.
|
| Have a look at the list
|
| setver|more
|
| This will 'pipe' the list through more so that it will be displayed page-by-
|
|
| Each of those programs shown in that list wjhen run will check the
| version of DOS being used.
|
| Regardless of what you are really using... setver will report back to
| that particular program with the version number that's shown next to
| that program in that list.
|
| That is all that setver does... nothing else.

|
| I don;t klnow why, But I have no problems getting simple drivers to load, su
| as mice. But every freeking time it comes to the CDrom..
| I run into a brick wall....
|
| Maybe I should make a Page2.html for editing Auto\config files for newbies. 
| loosing paperwork is starting to bug the hell out of me...
|
| Will *tweek* the above line also. 
| Should i just REM_ or just turn delay=on?
|
| Well, Hope you have a good time tomorrow, and I wonder if you will have to m
| any excuses to go home to go play with your *kids*?

| Bear....doggoneit...!!!....I went looking for a KVM switch for you..
| ...and where I got mine from (MEI/micro) is not Microcenter...still
| a great outfit....BUT...!!!! the finks have gone and done went to
| ALL automagical Belkins.....and those things just are NOT the thing
| for any sane person to be ordering...or trying to use.....<g g g>
| ...
| I either bought mine at Micro...or from MECI (another great outfit)..
| ..but MECI doesn't have them, anymore, either..
| ...
| FIRST.....PLEASE..!!!!!....hear me....
|
| For BEST results...for things like KVMswitches, etc....always get the
| mechanical version (non-USB - that is always PS/2)....or...if you
| just gotta get the "magical-keyboard-switchable" type...ALWAYS get one
| with additional switching pushbuttons on the front.....
| ...however....
| ...the best...the VERY best KVM switches are the ones with a manual
| rotary switch on the front....they still have keyboard emulation for
| bootup, etc...but they are NOT keyboard-switchable...they switch ONLY
| when your little fingers grab that rotary switch and turn it...
| ...<g g g>
| Thus...until you get quadruple-amputee status...you can ALWAYS switch
| it...no matter what OperatingSystem/Hardware box you might have...and
| they fail FAR less regularly...and cost FAR less money to replace..

| with 4-ports that will happen later, rather than sooner....<g g g>
| ...
| So, I went and googled....and found, and mobyent the exact same 4-port
| mechanical I bought...which gives me REAL great results..
| ...
| It is a Mechanical, 4-port, Inland KVM switch...and I'll come back with
| the URL in a bit....it was listed for $19.95 and you hafta get the

|
| Specs on the Switch say computers must be booted up and running, in order fo

| Well, THat is my #1 problem. I boot up DOS box, and switch won't notice it

| able to get that "automagical Belkins" to work in DOS until someone
| writes a suitable KEYBOARD.SYS for DOS....because it is designed to
| take inputs from the non-standard WhingeDoze keyboard driver....and
| Linux has ported those APIs so it works...but noone I have heard of
| has ported those APIs for DOS...
| ...
| ...so...my link is to a mechanical KVM...and you can return that
| automagical Belkins to MicroCenter for a full refund...

| Hey, I need some opinions. I got a question, first some background.
|
| My good buddy hankster, a couple of blocks away, who is still on AOHELL desp
| my constant pleading to get him to sign up with a real ISP (we know how stub
| some people can be, right? :) Has a little ol' P-133 that I fixed up for him
| while back that has served him well, I put in a 33.6K rockwell TI modem (not
| winmodem) and a soundblaster card. I fixed up the machine first in DOS for h
| (including arachne), then installed win95 and the usual standard crap to get
| him going, including an account with an ISP that ended up going out of busin
| the computer came from his brother in law who was an AOHELL user and offered
| pay for AOHELL for a year so that's how he ended up on AOHELL. At any rate,t
| is the buddy I gave a 386 to first a few years back, with arachne on it to g
| him started, he was very computer 'phobic' at first, so at least he had a
| running start on a background when he got this P-133, and he's been trouble 
| for about 2 years now, so I applaud him for that. He understands files and
| directories and can download stuff and install, so he's come a long way. I u
| to go straighten out his messes every few weeks!!! But it was 'beer security
| <ggggggg>
|
| So here's what happened, a couple of weeks ago his machine was dead. I wasn'
| home for a couple of days so he went and got a power supply from a local
| computer shop and his machine booted up, everything seemed fine. But then wh
| he tried to connect to AOHELL it would dial, make the connection, and reboot
| What he did next I'm not clear on, but I think attempted fdisk, format, and
| win95 reinstall but still had problems. So, instead of waiting for me he cal
| this other guy that I know but have sort of had a falling out with, so I'm n
| really on speaking terms.
|
| Now Hank is telling me that this guy, a self proclaimed 'expert' who makes a
| little money putting together 'custom' systems and selling them has an
| interesting story. By the way, I've seen this guy 'work'. He loves Micro$lot
| products, loves windoze, loves winmodemz, and he absolutely doesn't do DOS. 
| toolbox has windoze utilities and Norton Disk Doctor and Norton stuff. okay,
| whatever.
|
| Anyway, the 'expert' now tells Hank that his modem is bad, his soundcard is 
| and his hard drive is bad. And for some reason has moved Hank's mobo into a
| rather large case. 
|
| I don't know about you guys, but the whole thing sounds fishy to me. I mean,
| after Hank replaced his power supply, the machine did boot up and give him h
| win95 desktop. It just kept rebooting when he tried to connect with AOHELL. 
| I been around I would have convinced him once and for all to ditch AOHELL an
| hooked him up with a real ISP, or at the very least, uninstalled AOHELL and 
| reinstalled it.
|
| I'm not saying this guy, who USED to be a friend of mine is trying to take H
| for a ride, but hmmmmm... all at the same time, Hank needs a modem, a soundc
| and a hard drive???? So, they all went out at once??? I don't know if there 
| tactful way for me to intervene, or if I should just stay completely out of 
| I know if I get involved I will just stir up bad blood between me and my old
| friend, who it now appears is trying to make a profit of off my good friend
| Hank....

| hehe, okay Bear, I'll say it, "micosoft".
|
| Put it this way Bear, the guy that used to be my friend (not Hank) before we
| a parting of the ways, I got stuck one afternoon with him while he had to ma
| 'quick stop' to install a modem for 'customer' of his.
|
| So he stops on the way and picks up, naturally, a WINSHIT MODEM. I told him,
| man... get that PHOEBE 56K MODEM (with the rockwell chipset) sitting right n
| to it on the shelf, it costs more, but it's a REAL modem and will give you l
| hassle, but he wouldn't listen. Before we even get to the victims, I mean,
| customers house I've already got a bad feeling. Anyway, It was a computer he
| custom 'made' for this guy, and it had windozeME or win2000 or some shit and
| spent, I swear to God, at least 4 and half hours dicking around with that st
| winshit modem, and his little box of Norton Wiz this and WincrapWizFix this 
| winshit that. And I had things to do, but I was stuck there.
|

| He ripped him off.
| He sold Hank a bill of goods.

| hehe, glennmcc, yep, if that's the way the deal ultimately goes down, Hank w
| indeed have gotten the short end of the stick...
|
| However, while trying to not be "involved" I've explained my perception of t
| and steered Hank in the direction of realizing that maybe he should just ask
| everything back like it was, and then I'll take care of it like it should ha
| been done the first time if that's what hank wants to do.
|
| Hank's not a complete dummy, he's just not at the level of being able to sol
| the particular problem he had, the fact that he knew to run fdisk and then
| format the C: drive and reinstall everything means he learned SOMETHING when
| gave him his first 386 with arachne, it was back when we had those 'free' IS
| such as freeweb and they were starting to crap out, so he had a pretty rough
| with the 386 and arachne, but he hung in there and learned quite a bit. He
| should have waited one more day for me to be around and I could have probabl
| fixed him up in an hour or less.
|
| I'm thinking that my former friend is probably going to stick to his story a
| Hank's modem, soundcard, and hard drive all being bad, and label me as a
| 'troublemaker', I'm thinking maybe we should let the guy fix it his way but 
| will make sure all his "bad" parts are returned. I will promptly then put's
| Hanks "bad" modem, soundcard, and hard drive into another box and fire it. T
| we'll invite my former friend over for a little surprise party and let him
| explain why Hank's "bad" modem, soundcard, and hard drive have miraculously 
| back to life....
|
| I'm evil, aren't I ? ? ? ? ?

| ============================================================================

|  Mon, Jan 05, 2004 - 8:31:50 pm

| glennmcc>
| Nope...
|
| You still boot to IBMBIO.COM and IBMDOS.COM (the OS itself)
|
| 4dos.com is just a replacement 'command interpetor'.
|
| Instead of this line in config.sys........
|
| SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /E:1024 /P
|
| You use this one.......
|
| SHELL=C:\4DOS\4DOS.COM C:\4DOS\ /E:1024 /P
|
| And now the environment variables will be......
|
| VER=7
| OPENDOSCFG=C:\OPENDOS
| COMSPEC=c:\4dos\4dos.com
|
| Instead of these that you would usually see......
|
| OS=OPENDOS
| VER=7
| OPENDOSCFG=C:\OPENDOS
| COMSPEC=c:\command.com
|
| That's all that gets changed....
| Just the 'comspec' and the elimination of 'os=opendos'
|
| The 'os' env. var. gets set the first time that command.com is launched.
|
| 4dos.com does not need a corresponding one for its opperation.

|
| BTW , you in the USA?
|
| That's what I need, So I can have many Pc's and only need one Monitor and on
| KEy\mouse
|
| That one I have, complete with cabling, will not recognize Keyboard\Rodent
| unless I boot directly from that PC.

| it's booted, you can switch over to the next computer to boot, and the
| KVM will maintain the first computer in "hold" status....keep the 
| Keyboard connect status, etc....
| ...
| This Inland 4-port is the EXACT KVM switch that I am now using...and..
| ..as I said before.....those fancy "electro-gical" non-pushbutton
| types....don't work with DOS...and sometimes not with Linux...and not
| with other OperatingSystems.....AND....they crap out quicker than a
| straight manual-mechanical KVM.....so....

| There's the problem....
|
| You have a typo in config.sys
|
| There is no such file as dos-up.exe
|
| And certainly none such as dos-up, exe
|
|
| Let's have a look at your config.sys file.

| Hey Gregy, re all the underwhelming programming support for arachne: I can d
| little C. Not much, mind. I'm more experienced with Java, and I learnt C via
| paper that taught us more advanced algorithms and made us use C in the labs.
| learnt C through its similarities and differences to Java.
|
| Anyway, I don't know what kind of skill level one would need to do arachne, 
| I'm willing to get my hands a little dirty. I'm not promising anything, mind
|
| You can email me by removing the booger from the first bit of the email unde
| name (you emailed me a little in 2001, but I dunno if you've still got my
| address :-) )

| Stu...!!! Welcome...and...I wasn't REALLY complaining about the small
| support available, right now....just trying to block some of the
| complaint about how slow the guys are.
| ...
| Ray Andrews is doing most of the cleaning...aided by Michal Tyc and 
| Joe daSilva...with Glenn McCorkle hovering as "emeritus"....of course,
| these guys all have WORK....and so they cannot just put in a push
| and crank out cleaned up code.
| ...Christof Lange is doing the translation of all the Czech in the
| files....and he expects to maybe be done in 2 weeks....
| ...
| None of us (except glennmcc) is familiar with the legacy code...and
| none of us is a regular C-programmer. Most of us have done some 
| coding, even in C, but (as in my case and perhaps your case, also)
| we are NOT c-programmers....
| ...
| I have committed to start, on the 15th of February, take in hand the
| job of pasting Christof's translations into the cleaned code files.
| ...
| I can do this by firing up to editors in two windows on my OS/2 and
| just cutting and pasting....one file at a time...
| ...
| This is manual "grunt" work....if you would be interested in helping
| me with this...we could split the files in half...and each do one half.
| ....it MIGHT get it done twice as fast.....<g g g>

| There must be something screwy in your dos-up.dat

| MAKE MONEY QUICK, EASY, AND LEGALLY!!! MONEY Turn $6 into $6000.00 in two we
| : Here are the 4 easy steps to 
|
| success: STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on :
| each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME 
|
| ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now : get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH 
| the 6 pieces of paper so the bill 
|
| will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one
| paper in each of the 6 envelopes 
|
| and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of
| paper stating the above phrase, your 
|
| name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service
| THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are 
|
| requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us I
| a little skeptical and a little 
|
| worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S.
| Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and 
|
| they confirmed that it is indeed legal. Mail the 6 envelopes to the followin
| addresses: #1) ANDREW BUNN 149 
|
| PEREGRINE WAY DIVIDE, CO 80814 #2) ROB CHANEY 1021 BROOKLEY ST. JACKSON, MD
| 39212 #3) BROOKE MCKINNEY 10157 COX 
|
| GAP RD BOAZ, AL 35956 #4) TAMMY SMITH 571 MAWANI VILLAGE LN BERKELEY SPRINGS
| 25411 #5)TINA KILONSKY 3542 
|
| ORCHARD ST. WEIRTON WV 26062 #6)MARVIN CHARLES 5 DOMINOE ROAD ANNAPOLIS,MD 2
| STEP 2: Now take the #1 name 
|
| off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 bec
| 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as 
|
| number 6 on the list. STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep t
| article as close to original as 
|
| possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I thin
| there are close to 24,000 groups) 
|
| All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you mak
| You won't get very much unless 
|
| you post like crazy. This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer 
| Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the 
|
| Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever y
| need money, you can use it again, 
|
| and again. FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------ Step 1: You do not need
| re-type this entire letter to 
|
| do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter 
| drag your cursor to the bottom 
|
| of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the
| entire letter into the computer's 
|
| memory. Step 2: Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top
| the blank page. From the 'edit' 
|
| menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so th
| you can add your name to the 
|
| list. Step 3: Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do y
| postings in different settings, 
|
| you'll always have this file to go back to. Step 4: Use Netscape or Internet
| explorer and try searching for 
|
| various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.
| Step 5: Visit these message boards 
|
| and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this lett
| and selecting paste from the edit 
|
| menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as the
| scroll through the list of 
|
| postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You're done w
| your first one! 
|
| Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgro
| and post away, after you get the 
|
| hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, TH
| MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE 
|
| MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it!
| When 
|
| your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the
| newsgroups, and send out another 
|
| $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start
| posting again. Remember, play FAIRLY 
|
| and HONESTLY and this will really work

| Well, Gregy..... it looks like the spammers have decided to target

| Luckily, mine has only been hit once. :)
|
| Now, to the spammers............
|

|
| Please stop.

|
| Now for the warning.
|
| If you do not stop....... I will show Gregy how to modify the code of

|
| Since it is about 99.99% certain that you are using Windows.
|
| It is also 99.99% certain that once I've got your IP address.....
| I can erase your hard drive.
|
| If you think I'm bluffing, or you think that I can't do it........
|
| Post another spam.

| It shows every 'hop' along the way to get to your web hosting site.
|
| Since I was not able to get any of your pages for about an hour......
| I went through fifi to see what was going on.
| http://www.fifi.org/services/traceroute
|
| That last hop was down at the time I tried.
|
| Just a few minutes later it was back up again.

| he he...yes....<g>.....and I notice, again, that you're sorta like
| me....everything that I do more than about 3 times....I write a .BAT
| for it....<g g g>...
| ...
| I started that years ago....and have "standard template(s)" for my
| batch files.....so...I just "rip one off" and fill it in...<g g g>
| ...
| I've found over the years that it's soooooooo much easier to DEL
| extra stuff, than it is to try to remember what/how to type in to
| a program file.....<g g g g>
