Has anybody had a chance to play with the NeXT machine, and care to speculate on whether it can steal the thunder of a 386 running windows/3? The prices for the NeXT machine, a 386/pc, a MAC, or the new Sun SPARCstation-IPC are all priced in the same ballpark.

What I've been looking for is a method to access (and-with appropriate care-potentially modify) them. Since my last msg, I've come up with a couple of references which have proven themselves in the past which say opening/reading/writing of subdir files possible with ordinary fxns. One source was fairly specific, describing general use of "extended FCBs" rather than ordinary ones, then using the "obsolete" FCB-type file fxns. I haven't yet put more than a few minutes of time into the project and probably won't till a couple of more pressing ones are completed. If anyone who has responded wants to explore all this themselves, the best resource I've actually is Ray Duncan's "Advance MS-DOS." My first edition discussed the issue around p. 113 or so (Chapter 6). I understand the second edition contains a comparable discussion in Chap. 7. Earlier, I read that a Microsoft developer's pub. described the process in step-by-step detail, though I don't have the cite at hand. Lastly, three callers to a BBS I run have been exchanging casual msgs on the subject, and when one of us eventually "gets serious" about following through on Duncan's lead, we'll undoubtedly post info there.

Right now the partition information for installation will not work unless the partitioning was done by FDISK. In about a month the company will have a patch to manually input the partitioning information which is misread on my system. So those of you with a similar oddball hard disk or non-standard partition who are considering trying COHERENT should be aware that presently there might be a problem.
