Nothing is etched in stone... Just use your common sense and don't over do it. Over doing it would be if you posted a 50 line ad ever other day, singing the same ol' tune & boring the rest of us to tears. Advertising in this echo is like advertising in a magazine - presentation is more important than volume. My own personal opinion is that it's better to have a 90% chance of driving home *one* point than it is to have a 5% chance of driving home many... Keep in mind that the readers of this echo (just like readers of a magazine) make 2 second decisions as to whether or not to read a given ad... Because of that, I personally prefer ads that are short & sweet & illustrate a specific point - ads that will grab the user's attention. tim moderator ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: JOHN DECARLO Number: 777 To: ANDY YEE Date: 06/13/93 12:49p Subj: Adult cd's to swap Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No On <Jun 12 03:11>, Andy Yee (1:134/2006) wrote: AY >how much are you asking for it?> I guess around $25, which seems to be a standard price.

Without the indexing and minimal buffers, a search could take up to 45 seconds; with a 1 meg buffer and no indexing, up to 11 seconds, and with the indexing and a small buffer, searches take less than 4 seconds. Also note that this was on a multiline BBS across a network. If its a single line, I think it'll be fine.

We've been (we = "Blank Productions", Bob Blank - my partner, and myself) producing Karoake tracks for almost eight years now, and have built up a sizable library (over a thousand titles). We own full rights to the recordings. I'd like to speak with you about the possibility of licensing these tracks to FLD for production of such a disc. I'll try to reach you via voice (I found your number after I NetMailed you last week). If I don't reach you before you receive this, would you give me a call, please?

The PCBoard IDX file was created before the Files.BBS and Descript.ion files were laid down on the ROM. This software was designed and developed by Martin Productions. Over 7,000 files using PKWARE, Inc.'s PKZIP (R) 2.04g DeflatX MAXIMUM compression are on this ROM, including .GIF, .WAV, .ICO, and .BMP's. Where there were hundreds of small icon files, we combined them into downloadable 20K files, so there is no inflated file count on this ROM (just so you'll buy the product). All files are True Date Stamped, based on largest file in the archive; there's no false advertising here. If you're a SysOp, we know you care about your users and don't want them thinking that a file just came out when, in fact, it is a year old. We do have older files on our ROM, but if -- and only if -- we feel it is something useful or interesting. NO MISSING FILES OR WASTED TIME! All archive files were scanned with McAfee Associates 5/5/93 SCAN 9.15 V104, which looks for 2,049 different viruses and their variants. All archives have a FILE_ID.DIZ to identify them. If one wasn't present, we added it. Almost no data files are on this ROM. We expect you to find other sources for collections of data-type ROM's, and you can look forward to BigSky #2's being almost all unique digitized images and files. We've listened to you on FidoNet; we monitor the Echos: CD-ROM, CD-ROM sales, VIRUS info, and DIRTY_DOZEN. We've taken the time to find and remove any HACK Report Files, illegal commercial programs, programs that won't run right out of the ZIP file, and anything else we've heard about. Special thanks to the creators of and contributors to the Hack Report. Also, since there are inevitably problems with file descriptions, every BigSky ROM purchaser who sends in the registration card will be given access to PC-Montana's Special File Description Update Area -- FREE -- to download all new updates as they become available. Files listed in DIR files but missing from Disk -- NONE! Duplicate files found in Disk subdirectories -- NONE! Duplicate file names across the whole ROM -- NONE! Files found on Disk but missing from DIR files -- NONE! Duplicate files found in DIR files -- NONE! Files.BBS and Directory Tree have been set up for MOST BBS's.

I've seen several (beta) OS2 drivers, but am unsure about 2.1 and installation requirements. 2) What is the latest Mitsumi driver (dates &/or version)? 3) Where can I get the latest drivers for the drive. While I may have the latest now, I doubt they will always be the most current. I received no BBS number, or any contact number for that matter, with the package. 4) I added a Sound Galaxy NX board, that will also serve as a controller for the CD. However, I have only been able to get the software polling driver (supplied with CD, not Sound board) to work with it. The Sound Galaxy has two CD drivers. The one indicated for a Mitsumi drive displays "Panasonic" when it loads, and then fails. I then tried the other driver (thinking that the doc was simply wrong), and got no further. Any help will be appreciated.

Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No In the classified section of the latest PC Magazine (6/29/93 edition) on page 406, there's an ad from an outfit called Romulus Entertainment. Among the adult-oriented CDs they're offering is a new product called "The Interactive Adult Movie Almanac". Their 800 number sales line couldn't tell me squat about the disk and, not being a dealer, I didn't call their "dealer inquiry" line (310-453-5068). The sales line did give me the number for Laser Concepts which they said could help me (818-884-9437). All I've been able to get so far at that number is a phone mail system which appears to work about as well as Trantor's :( . The suggested retail price for the "almanac" is $129.95 (in their dreams!) but, as any of you who know me by now will attest, there's no way I'm plunking down even half of that amount without more data. I'm very interested in having such a disk *IF* it's any good as it would let me clear off about 30 megs of my hard drive that has similar data in it. If it is any good (e.g. not an empty CD, has a usable search engine, etc. etc. etc.), the first dealer to find out and make a reasonable price offering will get the business.

There are no gif's, no music, not adult, and very few programs that are for a specific bbs package. This saved a great deal of disc space that is used to include a wider variety of programs to satisfy the average pc user. Sysops who have only 1 or 2 cd drives find that this is the BEST concept since changing out several disc to offer their users such a selection is not practical. The files are archived with ARJ and the archive comment contains the description of the program inside making it possible to execute "ARJ L <filename>" to find out what the program is about without having to extract the docs or look it up in the files.bbs. Since most great programs aren't upgraded every few months about 1/3 of the files are 1991. There are several programs I have written to assist the sysops of several bbs programs (Maximus, Spitfire, Remote Access, Quick BBS and PCBoard) to automatically and INSTANTLY set up Cream of the Crop for their users. If you have ever had to set up a cd rom disc manually you will surely appreciate a utility that will set up the disc in less than two minutes with NO errors! Files.bbs is available in every directory for Sysops of bbs programs that I did not have time (or the necessary information about) to write a utility to automatically set up Cream of the Crop.

Radio Shack sells a cleaning CD, which is basically a disc with a tiny brush positioned over the laser, which may do the job. It worked on mine, but only for a month, and then a more intense, invasive cleaning was required. Hopefully, the cleaning CD will do the trick, and at $10-15, its not a bad investment for anyone with computer/audio CD players. ...Jim... --- Squish v1.01 * Origin: The Godfather BBS, Tampa FL -(813) 286-7084 (1:377/54) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: RYAN DENKE Number: 846 To: ADRIAN PENDELL Date: 06/13/93 10:52p Subj: 7th Guest...

Sorry I can't answer your question, but it is funny how software makers will call 640x480x256 Super VGA, when, in fact, it is not. They also think that 320x200 (MCGA) is VGA, when it is not. It is stupid for them to make a true SVGA game because they would lose so many buyers like you. I don't know about Seventh, but for Links386Pro, if it supports your video card, you should be able to use it. I wonder if Seventh uses any specific drivers. There is a difference between VGA and SVGA, believe me. You must not have ever seen true SVGA. Granted, I really don't see that the extra resolution makes a whole lot of difference....That is why it would also be stupid for them to make a tru SVGA game. --- msged 1.99S ZTC * Origin: Cowboy Country Point Netters (1:303/5.104) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: MARC FONTENOT Number: 847 To: BEN NATION Date: 06/15/93 12:32a Subj: items for sale or trade...

The PCBoard IDX file was created before the Files.BBS and Descript.ion files were laid down on the ROM. This software was designed and developed by Martin Productions. Over 7,000 files using PKWARE, Inc.'s PKZIP (R) 2.04g DeflatX MAXIMUM compression are on this ROM, including .GIF, .WAV, .ICO, and .BMP's. Where there were hundreds of small icon files, we combined them into downloadable 20K files, so there is no inflated file count on this ROM (just so you'll buy the product). All files are True Date Stamped, based on largest file in the archive; there's no false advertising here. If you're a SysOp, we know you care about your users and don't want them thinking that a file just came out when, in fact, it is a year old. We do have older files on our ROM, but if -- and only if -- we feel it is something useful or interesting. NO MISSING FILES OR WASTED TIME! All archive files were scanned with McAfee Associates 5/5/93 SCAN 9.15 V104, which looks for 2,049 different viruses and their variants. All archives have a FILE_ID.DIZ to identify them. If one wasn't present, we added it. Almost no data files are on this ROM. We expect you to find other sources for collections of data-type ROM's, and you can look forward to BigSky #2's being almost all unique digitized images and files. We've listened to you on FidoNet; we monitor the Echos: CD-ROM, CD-ROM sales, VIRUS info, and DIRTY_DOZEN. We've taken the time to find and remove any HACK Report Files, illegal commercial programs, programs that won't run right out of the ZIP file, and anything else we've heard about. Special thanks to the creators of and contributors to the Hack Report. Also, since there are inevitably problems with file descriptions, every BigSky ROM purchaser who sends in the registration card will be given access to PC-Montana's Special File Description Update Area -- FREE -- to download all new updates as they become available. Files listed in DIR files but missing from Disk -- NONE! Duplicate files found in Disk subdirectories -- NONE! Duplicate file names across the whole ROM -- NONE! Files found on Disk but missing from DIR files -- NONE! Duplicate files found in DIR files -- NONE! Files.BBS and Directory Tree have been set up for MOST BBS's. Each subdirectory will have a FILES.BBS detailed description list for operators of WildCat BBS's to load the file descriptions quickly from CD-ROM to their hard disk database.

The PC installed base is growing at 10% per year. The CD installed base is growing at a rate of 50% per year. The North American sales tally for CD ROM titles was 1.2 billion in 1992 & is expected to be 1.7 in 1993... Holy smokes. The number of CD ROM drives manufactured increased by 160% from 1991 to 1992. By the end of 1993, it's estimated that there will be 5.8 million installed CD ROM players. tim moderator ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: CHRIS SNYDER Number: 910 To: SCOTT PETERSEN Date: 06/15/93 11:59p Subj: 4sale or trade Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No SP> LOOM---CD-ROM game--real voices and cool music SP> Make an offer on all or part of items.I might except trade.If A dealer on this echo offers it for $25 new.

Both romdoors are essentially the same... You can have up to 100 disks online, it can be run on nonstandard ports, on any nodes, etc. You make a dir for each cdrom disk and copy text listings of any name in (ex files.bbs or sffiles.bbs). Just make the main menu listing of disks and individual cdrom menu of areas, and after editing the areas paths you should be ready to go. It also has file tagging (up to 20 files), internal "All-DSZ supported protocols", and the feature most useful to you would probably be the lockfile. Since you can have it read the descriptions/tag files right off of the hard drive's text listings, the cdrom is only active when copying to the hard drive before downloads. You can configure it to make a lockfile that exists only when the drive is being accessed, and if another node tries to access it while the lockfile is there, it simply gives the caller "try back in a minute or two please" message. Mike Robinson is the author, and the current versions of each are v1.20 It can be FREQ'ed (16.8dual) at 1:2601/566 under the name of SFROM120.ZIP or EZROM120.ZIP. The author's board also has the same version for Freq.. I'd tell you his node # if I could find that little scrap of paper now <grin>. Good luck with your drive.

But that doesn't explain why he did not react to our FAX-message! And there's somebody here in the cdrom-echo that is wondering when Mike is going to send him the promised CD to review. A certain Mr Jackson, was it not ?!? BTW I write netmail to other dealers too, and they reply to me the same way ... so ... what is this ? I think Mike should ask another BBS-system to support him with a pointnumber etc. He won't believe how much more efficient this is ... It's very nice of you to take the blame ... ;-) Anyway, I've already had one very good business-contact with another dealer. Let's close the issue, after this _break_.

They all contain a broad spectrum of shareware including things like games, utilities, Windows programs, etc. There are also specialty CDs out like CD Winbox that is all Windows files, or Games 1993 that is all games, etc. These all contain current stuff and are BBS ready. There is no adult material on any mentioned. I have all 3 of the shareware mentioned in stock as well as many others. If you'd like to place an order for one, call us at 800-547-7817.

Read on...and reply...I have an attorney interested in hearing your side of the story... From what I can gather from Mark Abachie, The MARKetplace purchased 80 PIER 2 CD-ROM discs directly from Greg Armenia on 21 May 1993. 40 of those CD-ROM discs were held and not shipped to The MARKetplace. Greg Armenia has been paid for ALL of the discs, but will not ship the balance of them to The MARKetplace (for reasons unknown to any party involved). I purchased the PIER 2 CD-ROM disc from The MARKetplace on 17 May 1993. It is now 17 June. I still do not have the disc. Earlier this week I spoke with Greg Armenia on the phone and was amazed at how overtly rude and obnoxious he was. At this point I am quite sure that I will not be doing any more business with PIER Software. What I would like to do is compile a listing of people who are involved with this incident, talk with you individually, and see what line of action we can take to remedy the problem. Your cooperation in this matter would be greatly appreciated. I am looking forward to getting this situation resolved quickly and to NEVER having to deal with PIER again. cc: Greg Armenia ->PIER1 Mark Abachie ->MARKETPLACE State Attorney General - New York (via US Mail) Buffalo Better Business Bureau (via US Mail) Public Message to ALL in CD-ROM and Sysops For Sale Public Message to ALL in several Usenet Newsgroups --- Ozone Online Operations, Inc. z P.O.

Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No This note is to the customers and prospective customers of The MARKetplace, who either have pre-ordered the PIER Shareware #2 disk, or are considering ordering from The MARKetplace! On Wednesday, May 19, 1993 we sent a check in the amount of $2050.00 to the Pier Exchange, for an order of 100 of the new Pier #2 CDROM disks + $50 for shipping over night via UPS red service. The check was received by the PIER Exchange on May 20th, 1993 and was paid by our bank on May 21st. The disks were supposed to be in the Pier Exchange's hands on Friday, May 21st, however, due to a delay with the manufacturer, the disks did not make it to the publisher. On Monday, in the late morning, I phoned Mr. Greg Armenia and asked him if the disks had come in, and he stated that they had. I asked him if they would be shipped that day, and he stated that they would. At approximately 5:00pm Eastern time, we received an emergency break in call through one of our business lines from Mr. Armenia. He stated that his "bank had notified him" that our check had not cleared. Knowing that this was completely impossible, I informed him that he must be in fact mistaken. However, he persisted with his statements that "the last time this happened, (the bank had notified him of a 'problem' with a check) that the check had in fact bounced. Now mind you, we have been in a business relationship with this gentleman for several months, and have written SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS of company checks to him... always PRE PAID for his disks.. and NEVER has he had a problem with our checks. Nor has ANYONE else for that matter! However, to stifel this conversation, while on the line with Mr. Armenia, I had an associate call our bank, and verify that the check had in fact cleared our bank, meaning that it had been paid to Mr. Armenia's account. As suspected, our bank confirmed the fact that he had cashed the check, and that it had in fact been paid to his bank in full for $2050.00 on May 21st. Mr. Armenia still apparently still didn't believe me... therefore, since it was already after 5:00pm on the East Coast, and we NEEDED the disks to be shipped that night, I gave him my Social Security number (as one of the officers of The MARKetplace this is required to receive account information) and my banks phone number. I instructed him to call them and pose as ME... and ask if this particular check had cleared. After about 10 minutes, he called me back, and stated that the check had in fact cleared. I told him that I expected my disks to be shipped that evening via UPS RED overnight service. He said, "You'll get your disks", and hung up the phone. On Tuesday, May 25, 1993, UPS delivered a box via Overnight service from the PIER Exchange. Upon opening the box, I found only 60 of my 100 disks WHICH I PREPAID! Still being quite upset at having both my personal honor, and our company's integrity being questioned the previous evening.... I called Mr. Armenia and stated the following: "Greg, I assume there was a mistake yesterday, and that I'll have 40 more disks on my doorstep tomorrow.... Right?" It was at this time that Mr. Armenia stated "NOPE"! At this time, I asked why not, and what was his reasoning! He stated that the disks were on backorder. I asked him if he had enough disks to ship me, and he said that he did.. however, that he had shipped 60% of my order, and that was all that I was going to get for "a few weeks". I inquired as to his reasons for not filling the entire order... and at this time he told me.. and I quote... "Mark, I know all about your' little scheme"... I asked him what he was talking about... He said, "I have customers cancelling their orders, because of your little post card to your previous customers, allowing them to buy my disk for $39.00"... It should be noted at this time that Mr. Armenia had been informed previous to our sending out the cards as to their content, and the "special" price to our previous customers. I simply asked him at this time, "Yeah, so? why aren't you sending my other 40 disks". He stated that he didn't want the disk sold this cheap! (It should also be noted that Mr. Armenia is selling the disks for $39.00 in the RIME SYSOPS FOR SALE echo.. AND he is giving free shipping.. making the disks even cheaper than ours!) I informed him that I expected my disks immediately, as 60 disks didn't allow me to fulfill my pre orders completely. He stated that it would be weeks before I saw the 40 disks, and furthermore that we would never touch another one of his products again after that. I told him that I expected either the disks, or the $800 for the disks to be refunded immediately, and he stated that he would not send the money back, and it would be "at least a couple of weeks" before I got the disks. Furthermore, he stated, "You won't have your hands in MY son's cookie jar again".. whatever that is supposed to mean. SOOOOOO...... we sent 60 of you nice folks who ordered the disks from us your disks..... The rest of you.. well.. you are the C.O.D.'s and we have tried to get a few disks from other dealers. Apparently, the only dealer who has the disks right now is Mike Shannon at Star Vector.. he ordered and received an initial shipment of 50 disks. He agreed to sell us 10 disks at $45.00 each.. so we can sell them to you for $39.00 in order to fill our orders. We really appreciated the offer.. but we'll have to work something else out. What caused this? WHO KNOWS! When will we get either our money back, or our shipment of disks.. well.. again, who knows. No one is out any money other than us. The Pier Exchange has $800 of our dollars, or 40 of our disks, however you choose to look at it. Don't worry.. we'll do everything we can to keep our promises to you... our VALUED customers. Unfortunately, this situation is beyond our control. It's been over 30 days now since he cashed our check... and we are still waiting.. no disks, no phone call, no letter telling us what's going on.. no NOTHING..

I just got three disks, I will give a review on one of them now, and the other two when I get a chance :-) Digital Dreams Price $28 to $50: I got this CD in the mail yesterday, and it was put together nicely. It has discreet images, and a discreet label on the disk and the jewel case. It looks as if there was hundreds of files in one big pot, then just distributed into several sub directories. I couldn't really see any rime or reason. All the scans are tasteful, and would work on almost any BBS. I do have some criticism with the scans though. The docs that came with it, say that most images was scanned at 800x600 or 1024x768. They could have been scanned at that and reduced, some are that size, but the quality is bad. Maybe I shouldn't say bad, but sure is not as good as all the other scans I have seen. It looks as though the scans was done on a cheap scanner, or the scans came from a scan of a magazine. There are tiny lines through out all the pictures, and the quality of the pictures are generally average to poor. I have a Nec 4fg, and I know good pictures :-) The beauty of the women, are from average to good looking. I wouldn't say any of them are great, nor would I say any of them are bad looking. (( JT's Rating on a scale of 1 to 5: )) "production" is the way the disk is put together, organized, including documentation, ect. "price" is if the price is reasonable for what you get. "Quality" in files, is how new the programs are, how many dupes, and general quality in the files. In Gifs, it is how the pictures look in general, and the quality of the subject matter. "Overall" Average of the above ratings. Production: 4 Price: 4 Quality: 2 Overall: 3.3 on a scale of 1 (BAD!) to 5 (GREAT!) Let me know if you like this type of review.

Shane Which driver can you not load? the ???.SYS driver, or the MSCDEX.EXE driver? Remember that MSCDEX comes with DOS 6 and you should not use an older one. As far as the ???.SYS driver goes, if you put the correct version number in SETVER, you also need this line in your CONFIG.SYS before the ???.SYS driver is loaded: DEVICE=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE This loads and activates Setver. Also be sure that since you're using DOS 6's MSCDEX, that SETVER has no entry for it (i.e. type SETVER MSCDEX.EXE /D at a DOS prompt). - T\/: FIDO 1:371/39.11; INTERNET Todd.Vierling@p11.f39.n371.z1.fidonet.org --- * Origin: T\/-Land: Only Amiga makes it possible.

This review is broken up into several FIDO posts: Statistics, Operations (Part A), Operations (Part B), Operations (Part C), Visual (Part A), Visual (Part B), and Visual (Part C). I've done this to keep each post rather small because I'm not sure how long a message FIDO (or my local BBS) can handle. Please bear with me while I learn the ropes here. If you collect all the parts mentioned above, in the given sequence, you'll have the whole enchilada. I'd very much appreciate feedback on the FORMAT AND STYLE of my review so I can improve future ones. Thanks! For the record, I've owned and viewed over 40 "adult" CDs with an aggregate image count near 100,000. I've "messed with" a lot of image viewing and processing software. In a previous life, I was a photographer who did, among other types, nude stills in both color and B&W. I've done all steps from model interview through final print processing. I don't claim to be an "expert" (whatever that is), but I do know good image characteristics from bad ones. Still, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder so remember, what follows IS ONE PERSON'S OPINION. Statistics ========== This section focuses on the numerical data relative to the physical contents of the CD. Digital Dreams (DD) has 1598 GIF images on it, not counting the 480 "catalog" GIFs nor the 8 miscellaneous GIFs included in the GIFV directory along with the built-in viewer. Therefore, for this review, "GIFs" is taken to mean the single-image "feature" files and therefore excludes the catalogs and miscellaneous images, unless explicitly addressed as such. There are 14 GIF directories with 100 GIFs each, and two directories that have 99 GIFs each - hence the 1598 total count. There are 578,272,904 bytes given over to these 1598 images for an average size of 361,872 bytes. That's a pretty hefty size for even a 256-color GIF leading one to conjure up ideas of large, hi-rez images. Here, that number only goes to prove how deceptive statistics can be, as will be seen a bit later on in the Operations sections. There are no duplicate GIF file names on DD, nor are there any duplicate GIF images that could be revealed by either electronic audit (name, size, and checksum) or by actual viewing. Operations (Part A) to follow. --- * Origin: Hard Disc Cafe | Houston Texas | (713) 589-2690 | (1:106/30) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: BOB JACKSON Number: 1340 To: ALL Date: 06/27/93 4:07p Subj: Review of "Digital Dreams" Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No Operations (Part A) =================== The entirety of this section focuses those aspects of the CD that effect convenience and usability. Accordingly, it is more subjective than the statistical section. There are several files with file descriptions in them. These have names like: PCBOARD, QBBS-RA, SPITFIRE, and WILDCAT which I presume maps to their applicability to like-named BBS software. Not being a sysop, I can on speculate about this. I did scan through a couple of these text files and the contents seemed to be appropriate. The directories are sequentially numbered (e.g. DD1-0100) and therefore offer no clue to their contents. File names are similarly constructed and are accordingly no more revealing (e.g. DD1_0350). However, since all the images are more or less the same with respect to subject matter, it's not clear that this identification scheme is a drawback. As previously eluded to, there is a built-in GIF viewer. It's a shareware package called "GIFReed". The DD authors make a splash about this program in their documentation, but I wasn't impressed by it. It's most useful feature was the ability to automatically center, both horizontally and vertically, a small image on the screen - something it got to do a lot with DD images. A thorough review of it would be out of scope here, so I won't go into that. What is worth saying is that if one wants to take advantage of DD's image catalogs WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL EFFORT, then they'll have to use this program. Of course, ALL the images on DD can be viewed with any other GIF viewer. If one doesn't mind putting forth a bit of additional effort, the shareware program called GDS - Graphical Display System - will do a MUCH better job of creating point-and-click catalogs. Of course, GDS will use HDD (or floppy) space for its catalogs whereas DD's GIFReed catalogs are already on the CD and therefore don't take up HDD space. It's worth noting that DD's authors suggest copying GIFReed and the right catalogs (more on this later) to your HDD to boost performance. Operations (Part B) to follow. --- * Origin: Hard Disc Cafe | Houston Texas | (713) 589-2690 | (1:106/30) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: BOB JACKSON Number: 1341 To: ALL Date: 06/27/93 4:08p Subj: Review of "Digital Dreams" Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No Operations (Part C) =================== The included copy of GIFReed is too crippled IMHO, to permit any real "try before buy" evaluation, not to mention the highly annoying beeps, messages, warnings, etc. that go along with the crippled functionality. More to the point, as implemented by DD's authors, about half of each catalog image is occupied by a large, rather garish title that adds NO VALUE to the catalog image. The end result is that the 28 to 36 "thumbnail" images per catalog are crowded into VERY slightly more than the lower half of the screen. You can run the math yourself: On my 15" FS monitor, the usable screen is about 10.8" wide (horizontally, not diagonally). At 1024x768 resolution, that makes about 95 pixels per usable inch. Half of a 1024x768 screen spread wall-to-wall between 36 images gives about 11,000 pixels, about 105 pixels square, per image. Compare that to the 95 pixels per inch from above, add in some room for titles, space between images, and gentle reader you'll see that the DD catalogs images must be and are truly TINY. Look at your thumbnail - DD's producers chose their word correctly! True, they give a glimpse of what the "full sized" (more on THIS later in Visual) image looks like, but barely. True, a mouse click on the reduced image brings up the real one so you don't have to stare at the catalog images for very long. Still, why the authors chose to surrender half the screen's real estate to a useless title is beyond me. One probable clue came while I was "beating" on GIFReed. While the cataloging capability is missing in the crippled version, I did get far enough into the process to see the part where a title gets inserted. It wasn't entirely clear that either (a) the title could be omitted altogether, or (b) one had control over how large the mandatory title space is. In short, once DD's authors chose GIFReed, and elected to have it run directly from the CD, they may have been somewhat locked in on how the catalog screens looked. Again, IMHO, GDS offers far more capability, flexibility, and usability. Sysops and end users alike will find a lot to like in GDS - like "door" compatibility that let's users create a custom catalog on-the-fly of tagged GIFs and then D/L it thereby saving both the sysop and user a LOT of time and grief. But I digress...

Since all the GIFs have names that begin with "DD1_", I didn't bother checking against my CD GIF name data base of nearly 50K unique names. I was confident I wouldn't find any duplicates there that would prove out to be valid. The authors of DD make a point about all the GIFs being scanned at either 1024x768x256 or 800x600x256 resolution, and that they (the GIFs) were "...rather painstakingly picked out." For my money, they didn't go through enough pain, or else they were trying to save some for the customer. First, very few of the images are even close to being full-screen. Most are considerable smaller, some unacceptably small by my standards. One of DD's "better" images, all things considered, is DD1_0065. This image is actually 563x757x256 or about half of a 1024x768x256 screen. While it may be true that the authors' scanner was always set for a high resolution, it's a mistake to think that very many of the images are able take full advantage of it. More importantly, ALMOST ALL of the images have a very distracting "grainy" quality about them. They're just not sharp and clear. OK...OK... Sometimes the "looking through gauze" effect can be appealing by giving the image a kind of ethereal or "sleepy" look. That's not what I'm talking about here, folks. Either the source photographs were lousy, or a cheap or maladjusted scanner was used, or somebody didn't know what they were doing, or whatever, but SOMETHING went wrong. Most every single image is this way - grainy. It is, in my mind, reminiscent of the image quality (NOT subject matter) on Volcano, only worse. It makes you keep trying to re-focus your eyes, and that doesn't help.

I don't claim to be an "expert" (whatever that is), but I do know good image characteristics from bad ones. Still, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder so remember, what follows IS ONE PERSON'S OPINION. Statistics ========== This section focuses on the numerical data relative to the physical contents of the CD. Pork-Ware I (PW1) has 2014 GIF images on it, plus 35 Targa files. The CD has 22 image directories, 21 for GIFs and 1 for the Targa files. The directories are named X01...X22 thereby in themselves giving no clue to their individual contents. In reality, the images are split across directories according to subject matter (See Operations below). There are a total of 632,783,505 bytes of GIF files making an average of 314,192 bytes per GIF. Make no mistake about it, there are some very large GIFs on this CD. The 35 Targa files occupy 21,848,140 bytes for an average of 624,232 bytes each - actually somewhat small by Targa standards. There are NO duplicate file names on the CD, nor exact duplicate GIF images that could be revealed by an electronic audit of names, file sizes, and checksums. Checked against a 47,000+ GIF file unique name data base, there were 833 "hits" indicating that, on a file name basis, about 41% of the files are potentially duplicated on other adult CDs. The "hit" distribution was as follows: Seedy 6-Pak: 428 7th Heaven: 114 Busty Babes: 46 Ecstasy: 164 FAO-2: 52 FAO-3: 53 FAO-GOLD: 91 PCPIX-1: 55 PCPIX-2: 38 PCPIX-3: 60 Visual Fntsy: 41 Storm-3: 65 Now before anyone says: "Hey, all those hits add up to more than 833.", recall that a given GIF file name may be duplicated on more than one other CD.

Accordingly, it is more subjective that the statistical section. There are file listings included on the CD. These are the two-line description type with a header at the beginning of the file. Not being a sysop, I'm not sure this makes PW1 "BBS ready" or not. The file descriptions seemed accurate enough on casual scan. As said, the file directories are named X01 through X22. The Targa files are alone in directory X20, with the GIF files occupying the rest. The PW1 CD that I received had a 3-1/2" diskette with it labeled "Pork-Ware Installation Disk". As I discovered from it, there apparently is, or will be, a "Pork-Ware 2" CD as provision was made to install either from this same diskette. Even though shareware versions of both CSHOW and VPIC are included on the CD, the installation procedure forces VPIC as the choice. More interesting than that is that the installation program only runs under Windows 3.1 (or later). That's a little wierd if you ask me! All the install program really does is to attempt to configure VPIC to your hardware by running the "WHICHVGA" program and then VPIC's configuration program. This will probably work for most older video boards, but it failed to correctly recognize and configure for my S3-based board. After that, the user is given the choice of having "VIEWPORK.BAT" copied to the DOS sub-directory of the HDD. Since it's likely the DOS sub-directory is in the PATH statement, PW1's authors seem to be trying to make it easy to look at the CD's contents by entering VIEWPORK from any command line prompt. The .BAT file is large (about 4K bytes) and clumsily written owing to PW1's authors not having or at least not using and ASK.COM or equivalent. Well, at least they tried. What was useful from examining the VIEWPORK.BAT file was learning that the contents of the GIF directories are indeed organized by subject matter. A printout of that .BAT file reveals that PW1 and PW2 are slightly different; more importantly, it allowed me to clip and save the PW1 index and keep it with the CD for future reference. I didn't use the versions of CSHOW or VPIC that were included on PW1, but instead used my personal favorite image file viewer (GDS) for the rest of the examination. Both of these programs are generally very well-known. For those users without a preference, or perhaps even a viewer, I'm sure either one (or any other of a number of similar viewers) would be adequate for starters. Further review of them here is therefore unwarranted. Visual to follow.

Accordingly, it is more subjective that either of the two preceding sections and should be taken as such. PW1 is a full-blown "X" CD. Some of it's images are as "raw" as any you're likely see on any CD containing similar material. Having said that, it's worth noting that PW1 doesn't contain any "furry sex" or other really "fringe" material. That's not to say the images aren't graphic - they are. In addition to the explicit sex images, there's a considerable population of nude images. Many of these are from the PIC series and the LADYR series. Most but not all of the images have a BBS logo on them. I made it a point to view each of the "non-hit" images. As I suspected, there were some "old friends" lurking in there under changed names. I didn't keep strict count, but I'd estimate that of the 1181 "non-hits", about 25% were in this category. On the other hand, of the non-hit file names, 28% had Village Adult BBS file names indicating that they were, as far as my data base is concerned, "new" images. If you're into 24-bit color, you'll appreciate the 35 Targa files included on PW1. They do look slightly smoother than 256-color images, but not by much to these tired eyes. Eight-bit color seems to do quite well rendering flesh tones, etc. I actually converted a few of the Targa images to 256-color and could see differences, but they were small ones. For pictures of humans, IMHO the extra space required by 24-bit color isn't worth it. Since most of the images are obviously scans from some of the larger and better known "houses" (e.g. McHenry, Prizm, Village, etc.), the intrinsic image quality of the images is quite good on the whole. As with any similar adult CD, there are a few misses, but not that many. All in all, if you don't have an adult CD and want ONE with a variety of material on it, including a mix of nudes and "X", this isn't a bad choice. It's better than XXX Extreme (aka Physical Therapy); better than the Nix Pix series (which personally I regard as poor); and a LOT better than either Giffy Gold or Digital Dreams with respect to the nude collection. If you already have several adult CDs, this one won't add much to your collection.

You should expect to see it around Friday the 25th. By the way, I sent you a message the other day asking if you still wanted to look at Porkware, but since I'm sending Winbox, I'll assume you still want the Porker too, and I'll send it along for review.

The difference is the 604X is 300ms with 612kb transfer rate compared to the 600A's 153kb transfer rate. Ok, Its twice as fast. The modem only transfers at 14.4k and soon to be 28.8k. That is still faster than 28.8k And it also says you can either use a 8 bit or 16 bit controller for either drive. If someone could enlighten me on a few things such as. Software compatability, Drivers. Which is best for a BBS? Speed is importand dont get me wrong. But as long as its fast enough to run the bbs without any long stretch waiting time.

The salesman quoted prices of $419 for a bare drive and $439 for a bundle with a SCSI cable and the Software Toolworks US Atlas CD (shipping $10 additional). I opted for the bundle. My money order for $449 went out on April 12, 1993. I was told when I ordered that the drive was in stock. This was not the case, and I called back two weeks later to be told by a receptionist who sounded like she didn't even know what she was doing that "it would ship tomorrow". It didn't. I did receive a call from a salesman telling me that they were out of stock on the Atlas and offered me an alternative disk. I stated that I would just wait until the Atlas came in and they could ship it separately. Well, in mid-May the drive finally arrived. No Toshiba box. NO CABLE. NO DRIVERS. A "manual" that was copied and hand-stapled. No warranty information or registration card. I have called repeatedly asking for the cable and have been told multiple times (I think by Miss Stoned-and-Not-Caring, unfortunately) that the cable was on its way. Then I finally got to speak with someone who sounded like she was in charge, but acted like a TOTAL BITCH. After finally acquiescing and agreeing to send me the cable, I came home this past Thursday to find a Federal Express notice on my door saying that I had a COD package. The shipper? CD-ROM DIRECT. The COD amount? $439!!! They sent me another God-Damned Drive! (And probably without a cable! <G>) So here I am nearly three months after my initial order without a useable drive. If anyone from CD-ROM DIRECT monitors this echo, and if you think that you're going to ruin my credit by making me refuse a COD package you can go STRAIGHT TO HELL. I am calling your Better Business Bureau first thing on Monday morning and pursuing this matter to the fullest extent of the law.

If the answer is one or more.....then I believe the -> producers of shareware software should be fighting to get their works -> included in the best selling CD's. I agree, but ask some of the CD producers what type of response they get from some shareware authors. Check out some of the discussions that go on in the CI$ ASP conference and the Fido ASP conference. The small minds of some small shareware authors keep their shareware business small <g>. Some of them don't even like their software posted on BBS's and think direct marketing and rack vending is the only way they can keep control of their products. Idots. Why would anyone spend $5 for a single floppy that contains the same program they can get from almost any BBS for free. And the reason it's on the BBS is probably because it's on a CD! --- FidoPCB v1.3 [NR] * Origin: The GIFfer in Tampa, FL USA (813)969-1089 USR 16.8DS (1:377/50) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: ERIC BRAVICK Number: 1411 To: SAM FIGUEROA Date: 06/29/93 12:40a Subj: sellin' some Roms Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No >> I'll take Microsoft Bookshelf 92, is that the one which has all the >> dictionaries and thesaurus's???

Yes, these controller cards (TDCIF8) will handle up to eight cd rom drives *IF* those drives have the necessary jumpers. Since the Hitachi 3500's only have 4 jumpers ONLY 4 of these drives can be run on any single card. I have 8 3600's running beautifully on one of these cards if you want to call and check it out.
