Msg 43110 is 05 line(s) on 01/30/90 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to BILL HOLT re: R/BBS LISTS Since the (708) vs (312) issue has come up and that list was from a "before then" era, and simply because it was several months old, it was deleted. Also, old msgs get deleted automatically no matter what they are - keeps "old" info from staying around too long. Please don't call me "sysop" - I hate that "generic" name! Msg 43111 is 04 line(s) on 01/30/90 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to BILL WOLFF re: R/MICROBYTES! Seriously, is it called "microbytes"? That's the name of the column of miscellaneous small topies in BYTE. (though I notice there's no (C) or (R) near it. Interesting. Msg 43112 is 03 line(s) on 01/30/90 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to BRENT JONES re: R/CLIPPER Are your questions really CLIPPER related, or are they more DBASE "language" related? I program a moderate amount in Dbase "language" (but in Foxbase as a program). Msg 43113 is 08 line(s) on 01/30/90 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to JAMES SCHMIDT re: R/CIS FIXPAR.THD I just found it easier to zero something than to figure out how to put something in the "formatted" partition table - for example, there are sections for "system type" or something like that - i.e. words with DOS-16 or DOS-12 etc - and other columns for "bootable yes/no". With hex, you just hold down the 0 key typamatic until you've zeroed the designated area. Trying to figure out, or tell, what to type in the partition TABLE would be MUCH MUCH harder. Also, I wasn't recommending a novice try it - I think I used words like "very dangerous", etc. Msg 43114 is 08 line(s) on 01/30/90 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to RUSS REVZAN re: R/HELP Are you using base services, or extended services, in the network? Oh, I forgot - this is running Novel Netware. I only know IBM's lan software. I'm sorry it is a dilemma that we have the - what is it - ICLAS network running on Novell, which we consider a "competitor". I can tell yo how to get a printer going on IBM PC Lan version 1.3, but not on Novell. I have absolutely no idea. My answer sucks. (pardon). We've got to find a way to support Novell users! Msg 43115 is 03 line(s) on 01/31/90 from ERIC BOHLMAN to RUSS REVZAN re: R/HELP This is just a shot in the dark (I'm not very familiar with Novell), but if Microsoft conventions are supported, shouldn't there be a NET SHARE command to name the printers to the rest of the network? Msg 43116 is 06 line(s) on 01/31/90 from BILL WOLFF to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/MICROBYTES! I guess your right about having a (c) or a (r). But I could not find any statement concerning this. From what I have been told, it is from Byte magazine and downloaded from BIX and requires a fee of some sort costing over a hundred dollars to display on your BBS. Do you know more about this then I do? Msg 43117 is 14 line(s) on 01/31/90 from RUSS REVZAN to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/HELP I know it is not your problem, but is there any way I can find out? I am not getting much help from the people I am supposed to deal with. The voice mail is always full. It seems to me that if IBM really wants to make more of the education market they might be a little more helpful. A couple months ago I asked someonr at to send me a catalog of educatioal software so our school could consider buying some. I have not recieved anything. Doesn't IBM want business or is one school with 33 computers matter? Remember Ward, I not venting my anger at you personally, but you are, at least through this BBS available to me. I am grateful for your help and time. Russ Dyett School Msg 43118 is 10 line(s) on 01/31/90 from RUSS REVZAN to ERIC BOHLMAN re: R/HELP Thanks for trying to help. I will check tomorrow to see oops NET SHARE command. I was led to believe that since we are running IBM IClass, NOvell was to be totally invisable to me. I guess this is another instance of misinformation. Thanks again, Russ Dyett School dup. chars. >Function:?{
