Msg 44107 is 06 line(s) on 11/02/90 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to TONY ANTONUCCI re: 9600 ON CBBS Yep, 9600 on CBBS is slower than you'd think it is - but sure is faster than 2400. I think what's happening is the fact that I'm sending every char out to the screen, also - meaning you're limited to the scrolling speed of the PC CGA display. (=notoriously slow). Also, per comments just a couple days ago from Randy, I'm not "locking the baud rate at 19,200", thus not taking advantage of MNP level 5 compression. Msg 44108 is 10 line(s) on 11/02/90 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to ALL re: BITSTREAM FACELIFT & DJ Just got my Bitstream Facelift package last night - VERY NICE! It is scaleable fonts - some up to 72 point! It worked under Windows (3.0) Write (up to 36 point) and under PageMaker (72 point). The fonts auto-scale on both the screen and the DeskJet printer. However, due to this mathematical process, and the fact that it writes to the printer strictly in graphics mode, it is UNBEARABLY SLOW on my 10mhz system (which until this time has been adequately fast for me). P.S. I called the 800 # yesterday to request an upgrade form for my DeskJet to upgrade it to a -500. The + and the -500 are sufficiently faster in graphics mode that that should help, too. Msg 44109 is 05 line(s) on 11/02/90 from TONY ANTONUCCI to WARD re: 9600 CBBS After having the 9600 for about 12 hours...I love it. I tried some tests and it does make quite a bit of difference with the baud locked higher. I locked mine at 38,400 baud and was getting an effective baud rate of over 19,200 on file transfers (in HST mode on USR duall standard). But CBBS info would not be that critical.

Msg 44116 is 10 line(s) on 11/05/90 from JERRY OLSEN to DONALD DOCKMAN re: R/TURBO-C BOOKS My basic TC reference is The Waite Group's Turbo C Bible. Despite a couple of infrequent errors, I find it significantly better than TC's own docs-- which ARE generally good. My favorite supplemental book is Systems Programming in Turbo C by Young. (The latter's title is misleading. It is an excellent collection of I/O, TSR and other fxns which are well integrated. I've pushed well beyond the limits of those fxns, but still occasionally turn to them when approaching a new need for excellent insights. Well written. Both (and a large collection of other titles to suit your personal sensibilities) are available at Krochs in the Loop and should be generally available elsewhere.

I've experienced a similar difficulty when attempting to locate the current DIR prior to DOS 3.x and had to develop a "creative" workaround. If you explore NOCALL's code, I'd bet you'll find an INT 21 Fxn 62h (get PSP) call...which just happens to have become available in DOS 3.0 :-}.

I have been calling CBBS since 1979, from my 16K Apple ][ (before the "+"), with a "super-fast" DC Hayes micromodem 110/300 baud, that I modified to go 450 baud (which some S-100 modem would handle on RCPM systems). Compared to the current 33Mhz 386 with 8 meg RAM, 700 Meg hard disk, and 9600 baud modem. One thing has not changed, my printer! I still have the slowest, oldest Epson printer. 80cps MX-80.
