In pseudo-code: work:=number divisor:=1000000000 while divisor>0 digit:=work/divisor print the digit work:=work mod divisor ;i.e. the remainder from the above division divisor:=divisor/10 endwhile Note that this will give you all 10 digits. You probably want to suppress leading zeros; if "digit" comes out as zero then display a space unless 1) You've already displayed a non-zero digit or 2) "divisor"=1.

NOLOCAL exits immediately if the template does not have a file type of "???" and does not come from high memory (the transient part of COMMAND.COM). I think the problem is that in DOS 2.x the file type is "COM", "EXT"< or "BAT". I haven't check this thoroughly, or checked whether trapping also the explicit filetypes will cause any untoward side effects. . P.S. I have not gotten my manual printed. There have been delays in an expected review from a trade journal, and I have been waiting for that review before I started advertising. And the response I have gotten from attending some conferences is noconclusive. I also have used the "soft" state of the manual to make some revisions when I have added some enhancements to the software. Hard typing with your fingers crossed!

In reading the last month's postings here, I see stuff from Tony Antonucci (sp?) that leads me to believe that you've got either 9600 baud operation or MNP level 5 compatibility here. Is this so? Randy was asking for donations for same on chinet lately; if both my favorite hangouts are using MNP 5 I suppoose I'd better figure it out... and buy a modem myself!

I think the hottest 9600 baud modem is the USR 9600 Dual standard, sincthe HST standard might not become "de fa but "tons" of BBS use it. V.32 is thcurrent "blessed" standard. As far at MNP 5, goes etty standard now, but watch for v.42 and v.42bis in the future.

Msg 44153 is 18 line(s) on 11/15/90 from JAMES SCHMIDT to ALL re: CELLULAR PHONE QUESTION I have a question on the inner working of the Cellular Phone System: When an incomming (from the wireline to the Cellphone) call comes in, how does the system know what cell to transmit on? Does it constantly keep track of all powered on Cellphones ? Does it broadcast the general poll on all cells ? I've come to the conclusion that initially the system doesn't know where I'm at until the phone responds to the ring and then perhaps it switches to that appropriate cell. Is this correct ? It seems if a call comes in and the unit is turned off the system takes about 15/30 seconds to inform the calles the subscriber is out of the service area or left the vehicle. If the Cellphone is actually turned on in standby mode the system seems to ring forever. Any background infromation would be appreciated, James Schmidt Msg 44154 is 04 line(s) on 11/15/90 from CORNELIUS HEJNA to COLIN SCHROEDER re: SAVING EGA GRAPHICS SCREEN There's a program in the book FRACTAL PROGRAMMING IN C that saves a EGA screen to disk.

Msg 44156 is 08 line(s) on 11/16/90 from ERIC BOHLMAN to JAMES SCHMIDT re: R/CELLULAR PHONE QUESTION When someone calls you, the system sends your number out on a reserved signalling channel common to all cells. When it sees the number, your phone beeps you and when you answer, it sends its number out on the signalling channel. A couple different cells will hear your phone replying and they'll tell this to the central controller along with an indication of how strong your signal was. The central controller decides which cell you're in, assigns you to an available channel (by sending codes out over the signalling channel) and connects your call.
