Subject: Administrivia - FTP and WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL
A fair number of readers have asked why, when trying to use ANONYMOUS
ftp login, they get the message "Too many ANONYMOUS users at the
moment."
The reason for this is that the host restricts the number of anonymous
users during working hours to 9. After working hours, the number of
anonymous users approximately doubles is restricted to 14.
That message is just like a 'busy signal' on the telephone. I would do
just like you do for a busy signal, keep trying. I've tried just as
fast as I can type 'connect wsmr-simtel20.army.mil' and usually have
been logged in within 3-5 attempts.

Only outside of 'normal' business hours or may Simtel be accessed
anytime during the day?
[SIMTEL20 may be accessed at any time EXCEPT during the first Wednesday

If it is in ROM (probably), you can dump it to a file using debug.com.
You will need to know the address of the rom, but a simple debug

Subject: Doing it on the cheap ( DD formated as HD )
Hello All,
Here at UIC we actually did a semi-scientific test of this. We used
Northgate, Zenith, AT&T, IBM (XT, AT, & PS/2 50Z's), and "some clone
which I don't remember" computers. We used KAO, unlabled 3M, Centech,
Sony, and some other brand (w-I-d-r). These were all 3.5".
The results: Sometimes it works & sometimes it don't. We could not see
any consistent problem.
The Conclusion: Format a disk at the design density to be safe.
Someone here mentioned the difference in coercivity between HD & DD
disks. DD use about 500 oersteds, HD about 700.
Is your data worth $1/disk extra? Mine is, I use HD formated to 1.2M
and DD at 720k ONLY.

Save the file in either DCA or Rich Text Format, I believe both are
supported by both programs. Import using the proper option with the WP
convert program. All formatting is not preserved, but I believe it
will save enough to take care of most of your formatting. One or the
other may be better for your purposes so you may wish to try both
formats. Even better would be to stop hanging around with people who
require you to abandon the one true word processor for WP. ;-)

Subject: Re: PS/2 1.44m drives:
The difference is that when you format a disk (without using the /n:9
switch), the PS/2 merely assumes that you have a High-Density disk in
the drive, since they do not sense the extra hole in High-Density
disks. Computers with the drives that sense the hole (for example, the
newer Zeniths with Sony drives) simply forbid you to do this, because
you're not supposed to do it. Here's why:
The High-Density 1.44meg floppies use a magnetic coating that can
record a higher-density (read higher-frequency) signal. Remember that
a floppy, like a audio cassette, is fundamentally an analog recording!
The drive electronics convert the analog signal into a bit stream that
can recognized as sectors and bytes. The floppy controller as well as
the electronics for a High-Density drive must be able to work at the
faster recording rate used by High-Density disk.
When reading a disk, the controller tries the lower recording rate if
the drive finds nothing at the higher rate. DOS also reads the media
descriptor byte on the floppy to determine its logical format. This is
generally true of most machines--there is no difference whether there
is a hole or not.
However, if the Double-Density diskette formatted "successfully" as a
High-Density, you are actually pushing everything past specifications
(like trying to record ultrasonic sounds on a regular cassette). The
electronics give the diskette the black-and-white appearance of having
valid data, while your analog signal on disk may in fact be quite
marginal.

Subject: .tar.Z and .Z formats
I'm new to the world of BITNET/INTERNET/FTP. My VAX account has
ftp privileges, but a lot of files (even in msdos archives) have the
extensions:
.tar.Z
.Z
I think these are two UNIX-like compress formats. What i need is a
program to uncompress these to executable files (some are .zip.tar.Z
which I would have to PKunzip first.) Is there one available from
SIMTEL, or elsewhere to do this. I need the "uncompressor" to run on
MS-DOS.
If you respond directly to me instead of the list, I will summarize to
the list.
Rich
[In order to process those files with a .Z extension, you'll need an
uncompress program. These have worked for me:
PD1:<MSDOS.C>,
U16PC.ARC 'C' language source for 'uncompress' for PC
PD1:<MSDOS.SQ-USQ>
COMP430D.ZIP Unix-compatible 16bit compress/uncompress/zcat
COMP430S.ZIP C src: Unix-compat. 16-bit compress/uncompress"
DECOMP2.ZIP Unix-compatible 16 bit uncompress, w/C source"
PD1:<MSDOS.TURBO-C>
COMPRS12.ARC Unix-compatible compress/uncompress - 12 bit"
After you finish with the uncompress, you'll need an 'un'-TAR program.
One of these should work. Flags for these are the same as the Un*x
version.
PD1:<MSDOS.FILUTL>
DETAR11.ARC Process a TAR file on PC"
PAX2EXE.ZIP PAX v2.0 - Unix-like tar and cpio for MS-DOS"
PDTAR.ARC Read/write TAR files on PC"
TAR.ZIP Unix-compatible TAR archive maker/extractor"
PD1:<MSDOS.STARTER>
TARREAD.EXE Read Unix TAR files on a PC"
If the file is also ZIPd, you'll need an UNZIP program.
Try
PD1:<MSDOS.STARTER>
PKZ110EU.EXE Katz's ZIP archive package v1.10, export vers.
Anyone else have any information?
Hope this helps.

For those hoping to run this device off their UN*X lans, we went
back-and-forth with a dealer and HP on this issue. The latest
definitive word is that they currently support *only* Novell and 3Com

Subject: Shadow Ram
A short time ago, a digest reader explained shadow RAM as follows:
>Shadowing: accessing ROM is much slower than accessing RAM. Since the
>BIOS is in ROM, the speed of accessing it becomes a performance
>bottleneck on fast machines. Shadowing uses the above memory mapping
>features of the 386. First they copy the ROM into RAM and then they
>remap the RAM so that it gets used instead of the ROM. It speeds up the
>machine.
My question is this: When the computer does this remapping, does it
also make this area of memory undetectable by software?
I have 4 256k Simms memory chips in my 25mhz 386, but upon boot up, the
memory check indicates 896k of memory. All software programs(Norton,
ASQ, etc.) show 896k of memory installed.(640k plus 256k)
Is this the case, that the hardware is making this RAM invisible to the
software?

Subject: TSCHEK10.ZIP - Unix-like spelling checker by Timo Salmi
Summary: Reposted by Keith Petersen
I have just updated my screen oriented spelling checker (TSPELL24.ZIP
at the time of writing this) which displays a text file highlighting
the mis-spelled words.
Having lately used much also a Unix spell, which instead gives an
alphabetical list of the mis-spelled words, I wanted a similar utility
for MsDos. So, as usual, I decided to write one myself. Naturally I
called it SPELL.EXE and it is available from SIMTEL20:
pd1:<msdos.txtutl>
TSCHEK10.ZIP Unix-like spelling checker by Timo Salmi
Its contents:
Filename Comment
-------- --------------------------------
SPELL.EXE Unix-like spelling checker
SPELLED3.DNY Dictionary
SPL.BAT A simple batch to drive spell
TSCHEK.NWS News announcements about tschek
TSPROG.INF List of PD programs from T.Salmi
VAASA.INF Info: Finland, Vaasa, U of Vaasa
The usage is: SPELL DictionaryFile InputFile [OutputFile]. Spell lists
in alphabetical order all the words of the input file which it cannot
find in the dictionary file. The checking is automatically done in
lower case so the system is case-independent. All words longer than 25
characters are truncated.
If you omit the OutputFile, the output comes to the screen and can be
redirected (e.g. through MORE or LIST).
If you use your own, larger dictionary, it must be in a lower case and
in a strict alphabetical order. The ability to use your own dictionary
means that you can use SPELL.EXE also for languages other than English.
There is a very simple batch SPL.BAT to call spell. Configure it to
suit your own paths. Using a batch is convenient, since then you don't
have to type the name of the dictionary each time. If you have several
dictionaries, you might even have a batch for each one. The LIST
command used in the batch is refers to LIST75F.ZIP, that is Vernon
Buerg's well-known LIST program. If you don't have it, replace LIST /s
simply with MsDos more command (or whatever browser you have at your
disposal).
The maximum number of _different_ words that SPELL.EXE can handle is
8000. This practically means an unlimited size, since it is extremely
rare that a normal text has such a number of different words.
(Checking another dictionary with SPELL.EXE is the only case I can
think of where the limitation would become effective in actual
practice).
The size of the dictionary for a registered version is unlimited. For
the distributed PD version the maximum dictionary size is 20000 words.
The rules of usage are: This package may be used and distributed freely
for NON-COMMERCIAL, NON-INSTITUTIONAL, PRIVATE purposes, provided it is
not changed in any way. (Repacking with another method, such as PKZIP,
is ok, though). For ANY other usage, such as use in a business
enterprise or a university, contact the author for registration.
Uploading to bulletin boards is encouraged. Please do not distribute
any part of this package separately.
