One big problem I see is that text is "bunched" by articles, headlines, etc - and they don't have to be in any particular order, I'd say. You have your work cut out for you. I'll hack it a bit nonight before I hit the sack. Msg 42226 is 06 line(s) on 08/04/89 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to JAMES SCHMIDT re: R/MNP5 AND CBBS CBBS normally runs a 9600 HST modem. Without HST, you couldn't go 9600. I believe MNP should be the same at 2400, however - my 9600 does OK calling into Compuserve MNP. Not sure what level of handshaking happens, but I never get any errors - only LONG delays if the line is REALLY bad, then I call back. Setup strings? When calling in MNP, I just do: AT&M4&K0&B2 Msg 42227 is 10 line(s) on 08/04/89 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to RICHARD GOZDAL re: R/2ND FAN Gee, you didn't feel like doing like me - spending $159 (?) for a "Turbo Cool"? My hard disk also is too hot - so I went the Turbo Cool route. I had gone the external fan route before - a fan blowing in the front by the grill, and another sucking out the back where the exhaust goes - and after a while, I just got tired of the noise. When I upgraded, I finally just went for a "Silencer" which runs a bit cooler, and a LOT quieter, but now my Priam half height just is too hot, so Turbo Cool, here I come. It just arrived today. Will put it in, maybe tomorrow. Good to have a heat wave to get me going on it. Msg 42228 is 01 line(s) on 08/04/89 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to JIM POLOUS re: R/HARD DISK HELP Hi, Flip. Msg 42229 is 07 line(s) on 08/04/89 from ED FOSTER to GARY ELFRING re: R/UPGRADE[ You have abouti] 9% response so far. 1% is good for a cold mailing, and 9% beats what I have seen personally. Why did you go with Perfect binding? Is the manual too big for saddle stitching? If so, how about spiral? My objection is that a perfect-bound manual does not lay flat. Even the big Borland and Microsoft manuals don't lay flat, but you can soften the spine eventually. I still like ring binders for a manual that will get used.

I gather from the 900 prefix that charges are billed directly to the phone. What sorts of problem can the caller expect to get fixed?

Msg 42232 is 07 line(s) on 08/05/89 from RICHARD GOZDAL to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/2ND FAN When you have a nice looking NEW computer I guess you want it to look good. This XT is just a workhorase for me so a fan sticking out on the side is OK. It isn't a regular computer fan so only has a slight hum. Sounds like a HD when starting up with it's humming but is quite acceptable. Right now extra money will probably go for a new computer (unless I decide to get more software as before and blow the idea). Msg 42233 is 01 line(s) on 08/05/89 from DAVID GIBBS to DONALD CROSS re: R/PROGRAMMING JOB NEEDED Know anything about IBM S/36's?? Msg 42234 is 16 line(s) on 08/05/89 from COLIN SCHROEDER to ED FOSTER re: R/SOFTWARE UPGRADES I think the reason many people don't bother with fixes is that, like me, they haven't run across the particular bugs that have been fixed and/or don't want the hassle of reinstalling! Some probably aren't using the software also, but this is probably a minority. By the way, I got the Spear system, which is really an Everex STEP 386/25. It's very nice, but unfortunately, I haven't been able to get the SCSI harddisk to run-the word from Everex is that the Seagate ST-02 HD/FD controller is not compatible with their AMI BIOS. So Spear is expressing me a new Future Domain 16-bit SCSI controller (ST-02 is only 8-bit!) which should solve the problem. I highly recommend Spear, partly because they sell renamed Everex equipment, and partly because of their excellent support policies and personnel. Their support line is open saturdays and their techies are very responsive, quick and knowledgeable. They've even offered to but the ST-02 back from me if Hard Drives International won't! Well, so long for now.wish me luck! No msg 42235 Msg 42236 is 06 line(s) on 08/06/89 from ERIC BOHLMAN to COLIN SCHROEDER re: R/SOFTWARE UPGRADES I've had good experiences with Spear as well; ordered a 386-20 (not Step) from the in January and it's worked fine. There have been times when they've delivered DOA equipment, but they've always resolved it quickly. They might not be the greatest place for a total computer illiterate to order from, but if you know what you're doing they provide very good value. dup. chars. >Function:?f*^U ?
