I would have sent this via Netmail, but I wasn't sure whether it would reach
you or not so I decided to use this instead.
Anyway, the thing is that a friend of mine has just started a small cdrom sales
firm here in Denmark and he's very interested in knowing more about your offer.
He has asked me to ask you to send him some more info about your buisness and
trading the CD's (How to get the ordered things to Denmark, how to arrange the
payment and such.)
If you want to you are welcome to fax him at this number (open 24 hrs)
+45 42 22 42 44
He's hoping to hear from you soon.
Best wishes.

Hello, I'd like to use a external cd rom with my IBM Thinkpad 500. would the
MicroSolutions Backpack work ok connecting to the parallel port. The think
pad has the EPP for faster transferr. Would be using it for Encyclopedia and

Thanks for the help...

I stopped by Egghead today, although they were out of stock of 7.5 (not
7.05), they did have it running on one of the P.C.'s down there. They told
me just about the only difference is that you can run Manifest with a
Windows interface. I told the guy that I'd heard of bugs in 7.5 (as per the
Fido CD-ROM conference), he told me that he had 7.5 on his personal
machine, and was having problems, but thought that it may have been other
stuff he had changed. So, I guess unless you're really one of those die
hard power Windows users, the 7.5 upgrade would be a waste of time. I'm
kinda waiting out buying ANY new software till next summer when (and if)
Windows '95 comes out, plus I figure that there really isn't any problem
with QEMM 7.04 anyway, I'll probably never need another memory manager for
quite some time.

Hi Jeff......
I'm not totally clear on what you want here. In my Rebel Assault there
are no asteriod fields after you input the passcode "falcon" The only
asteriod fields I went through was in the training section, and you say
you have allready gone through that one <???????>
Please could you clarify and I would be glad to help where I can. I
have one recomendation though: Get a joystick with a good autofire
function otherwise you will never finish the game. This game is a real
bitch to play. The first time I got though the training section I was
all sweaty and a nervious wreck. Now, after having gone +- 75% though
the game I think the training section is VERY easy. So you have a long
way to go yet :-]

Introducing ASIAN PEARLS
Asian Pearls is presently selling quite well at a nationally
advertised price of $79.00. Cyber-Graphix advertises monthly in the
classified sections of Computer Shopper, Micro Times, and Computer
Currents. They will soon be advertising in Soldier of Fortune and
Future Sex.
Asian Pearls is shrink-wrapped in a standard jewel case with a
4-color cover insert, a 2 color back cover and easy viewing
instructions printed on the back of the front cover. Asian Pearls
contains over 625MB of beautiful Asian women, 2681 images in all.
Each image was hand selected to ensure that it was a sharp, clear scan
of an extremely attractive subject. This disc is 100% Asian with
absolutely no duplicate files. The disc requires no installation, and
it includes several different GIF viewing programs.
Asian Pearls is the finest Asian CD-ROM on the market.
To order, send $35.00 to:
STARFLEET SOFTWARE Company

You must be 18 or over to order this CD-ROM!!
NOTE: BBS SysOps add $5.00 for a 3.5 or 5.25 inch floppy, specify
which on order, disk containing a FILES.BBS for this CD, which should
be usable or importable to any CD-ROM Door or BBS software package.
Since I run a TriBBS 5.x system, TriBBS SysOps can request a TriBBS
file list for this CD. I was asked by several SysOps for a FILES.BBS
for this CD, so I have completed FILES.BBS for each directory on this
CD, they are on the 3.5 or 5.25 inch floppy under the same directory
names as the CD.
This is my number one Best-Selling CD-ROM, so I have taken the
effort to make it usable by all our customers, and make it easier for
other SysOps to install this CD on their BBS.

Yup, it is half stroke seek time, not the full stroke. Full stroke was
considerable higher.
Have the dealer pull out the specs on it and it will show you what the full
stroke access time is.

Hi Mike....
About 2 week ago you replied on mail of mine to someone else about
Outpost, and gave me me cool price (can't remeber exactly but think
about $27.xx) You also told me that mail to South Africa would be $13
ensured and $8 not ensured. I replied to that immediately and asked you
some more questions. You never replied <??????> Offline or what? Here
we go again then:
What would shipping be if I ordered MadDog MaCree I aswell. What is
your best price on MadDog & Outpost & shipping to SA? What info do you
need from me (i.e. MC number, expire date, and what else). Will e-Mail
do as order or do you need a fax with my signature? AND:
Wil you be willing to invoice as follows:
Computer Software : Information value $xxxxx
Material value Sxxxxx
Total $xxxxx
The reason for this is that I don't want to pay import tax on this as
well. The SA government don't TAX the information value of the product,
just the material value (i.e. the value of the cd, packing, etc.)
Please DO NOT invoice it as "Computer games" cause then I'm screwed.
TAX will be 100%+ !!!! :-[
New Questions:
The price you gave me on Outpost must surely be for the OEM version.
What exactly IS an OEM version of a game??
Hope you get this as I really want to do business with you now and in
future!
Thanx
Rudi
P.S. e-Mail me your newest price list please...

Hi'ya people.
I have heard about being able to hook up a normal audio CD-Player
to work on your PC as a CD-ROM drive.
A friend of mine told me this and I just want to know if it can be
done. I would much rather do this than shell out mega bucks for a
CD-ROM drive. (Alas, I am only a PooR Student :)
If this is possible, can someone please send me the details on how
to do this or at least tell me that it can't be done.
Thanx in advance

I have played it on a 386sx and a Pentium. It is a great game. You can
still play it after you've beat it once. Great graphics, but needs a 3x CD to
get good performance. Don't even consider it if you do not own an ANALOG
joystick. I definatly recommend the game; TONS of fun (and hours). For downs:
it could use a few more tracks, but that is all.
Hope I helped.

Well, I had a problem with a disc that didn't have the descriptions setup the
way I wanted them, so, I found a program that will do the files.bbs format. If
you are interested, send me a netmail and I will give you the info on how to do
it.

You have to at least solve all the puzzles by going to the book in the

I've got a WD7000-FASST2 controller I would like to put in a 486 50 box to
drive a NEC 3XI CD Rom. I don't plan to change out the IDE/Floppy controller
at this time (money constraints...) but really would like to get the CD up and
running as soon as possible. The docs are fairly clear on needing to install
the sstbio.sys and sstcdrom.sys drivers, but before jumping into it I thought
I might ask the experts if I'm in for any unknown problems (i.e. NEC drivers).

Hiya Mike,
Remember me? I'm the schmuck who ordered $160.00 worth of CD's from you on 25
April 1994. Well here it is the 1st of November 1994 and I still haven't seen
hide nor hair of any CD's from you. I did operate a BBS prior to this but your
prompt service has put a damper on it and I went under. Now I know you would
have me believe that it is all a problem of the mail, well I'm not buying that
anymore! I want my money back. As you have sat on it for the past 6 months, I
guess you have earned enough interest on it. I don't wish to get upset about
this, so just be a standup guy for once ( as far as I am concerned ) and give
me my refund. I gave you ample time to deliver, what more could you possibly
expect? I hope I won't be forced to do anything we may both regret. As a
symbol of this, I will leave this message private if the conference allows it.
I will not waste my phone bill calling you. I'll stay in the echos, where you
do business.

You do have a connector for that daughterboard. Look at the bottom of your gus
and you will see 2 sets of pins, the daughterboard has to be connected to these
sets of pins. Btw you can also connect a 16 bit recording module on to it. (I
hope I made it all a bit clear, I'm Dutch, you see :-))

5 cd-titles: Groiler Multimedia Encylopedia, Return to zork, Wing commander
two deluex edition, Dr. Ts sing along and Peaunts Yearn 2 Learn coloring book.
its a snap to install and comes with a ton of sound software. any thing higher
than $300 is a rip but you should be able to find one around $250. Also if
your talking external check out some sony drives for around $150 with 2
titles.

Ya got mr on the first question, but regarding the capital letters, in the
BBS world when you type a whole word in capitals, it is considered shouting.
Just think of having a conversation with someone who is always yelling, and
the room isn't even noisy. It gets mighty annoying. It is just proper BBS
etiquette to use capitals only at the beginning of a word, or only when
expressing yourself. TTYLD

Hi Harlen,
If I have this right, the "Living Books" CD you're inquiring about is
actually a series of children's stories (i.e. Just Grandma and Me, Arthur's
Teacher Troubles, etc.). It's actually produced by Random House/Broderbund
and they're located in Novato, Calif. You can pretty much pick up some of
these CDs from your local computer store. Here's the number for "Living
Books" - (415) 382-7818 or you can write them at P.O. Box 6144, Novato, CA
94948-6144. Hope this helps. BTW, my young boys have "Just Grandma and Me"
and they love it.

Tenho feito um monte de bobagens com as mensagens. Agora nao sei as que voce

pode ligar com o cartao Real Visa. E so ligar para1 800 800 1818 e dizer a sua

direto aqui na minha conta.
De agora em diante vou ter o cuidado de datar todas as mensagens, pelo menos
voce controla quando nao receber. As vezes pode acontecer da mensagem levar 2
dias para chegar ai. Nao se preocupe que e assim mesmo.
Aqui tudo ok. Bruno no ingles, cachorros em paz. Amanha e feriado, vou dormir
um pouco mais e depois venho ver se tem alguma mesagem tua.
Muitos beijos.

Thanks for all the specific help. I could have used it a couple of weeks ago
and saved myself a lot of anguish. I finally figured out all of what you said.
The RISE word is really what I needed to break the log jam. Now I'm trapped in
the Catacombs. Guess I'll have to draw a map.
BTW, I got a Compuserve message from Sierra that Kings Quest VII is coming out
by Christmas, and perhaps as early as mid-November. It will be a two-CD set and
designed to run under Windows. They got a couple of Disney animators to work on
it, so it will feature the best of animated graphics seen to date.

tHERE ARE HINTS FOR YOU:
1.MONKEY WORLD-I will call it MW, let the elevator in Myst go back to high
position, then go to MW and look closely at all the "tree houses" on the
second level of this world, you'll find something that let you open the
door(kind of lever). Go down the stairs and open the lower door. Then try to
move on your own. If you need more help on this let me know, I belive, I'am
done with this part of this terrific game. By the way do you know of any
symilar games?
2.STONESHIP AGE-the trick with the chest works well, so go ahead and try
it.Regarding the submersible lamps I'm stuck too. If you go any further let
me know please.

to visit my ex-sister-in-law. The telescope puzzle is one of the easier
ones. The spider puzzle at the main entrance is tough, and the three
chess puzzles are very hard. I could not win the Microscope and Stauf

Yes that is the correct description of Forbidden Subjects, but I just
got a copy of RTZ about a week ago. So, not looking to trade for a 2nd
copy of RTZ.
But, do you have anything else to trade, such as 7th Guest, Myst, or
X-Com. Of course, I would also trade FS for $$$ is it came to that.
For $22.50 it would be yours, DELIVERED! Let me know via this echo,

Bill,
The debate's relationship to us is nonsence! I only aquire the titles
for the reviewers whom allow me to use their reviews for public
service. We do NOT review material that we produce, nor are the
reviewers employed or compensated by us. It is my belief that those
that started this review topic do not like the attention that this
public service project has gained for us.
The Desktop library is available from just about any CD-ROM dealer for
about $15.00.
Thanks for asking.

Hi Artur!
I have (runned - ran?) played ;) it on my machine which is a 386sx 20 MHz
with 4 MB RAM and a external singlespeed CD-ROM.
Though it is tough to get those RAMs free it isn't impossible! You only
need to have approx. 3.5 MB RAM free so no room for playing around.
Q1: What errormessage do you get when you are trying to run the game?
- That you don't have enought RAM free?
- The whole game just trows you back to the C:\ prompt without any
explanation (but the NHL.EXE still is in the memory and everything goes
so slow that you have to reboot to get rid of it)? This happened to me
when I tried to run the game on a friends 486DX2/66 with 8 MB RAM and a
doublespeed CD-ROM and I'd never get it to work on that machine.
Q2: What memorymanager do you have? EMM386 or QEMM386 or ...?
- Using MEMMAKER or OPTIMIZE does not really do you any good since the game
itself can use all availiable memory optimally.
Suggestion - try to put a "REM" before any unnecessary drivers that you
load in the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT leaving just the important ones
free. Like the CD-ROM drivers, the mouse and perhaps some VESA-driver for
your screen...
!!! With 4 MB you can't load SMARTDRV.EXE (or whatever diskcache you might
be using) because it takes to much memory!!!
Note! The memorymanager used by the game itself is pretty good. It is the
same as some other new games use too. Like DOOM, DOOM II, RAPTOR and most
other from iD/Apogee. And ofcourse NHL95 CDversion.

Mr Williams!
The new version of QEMM is not v 7.05 but 7.50 and is a major improvement
over the last (v7.0x) indicated by the higher version number. Quarterdeck
have put out bugfixes for the 7.0 version (7.01 -> 7.02 -> 7.03 -> 7.04)
but this one is like a NEW version and subsequentially they wan't money
for it (those greedy ba....ds ;-) ).
The major feature that I have heard about, and seen (on a friends machine),
is the quickboot feature, making the bootprocedure much faster. Gain 1-5
seconds or so. And that is never bad is it?
Other features? Don't have a clue... But now it comes with a nifty Windows
interface where you can experiment with some/most features. That should be
enough reason for most users that like Windows and hates DOS to upgrade!
Anyhow, to bring this message and reply ontopic for this meeting... QEMM
can be used for loading MSCDEX and your specific CD-ROM driver high above
the wonderful 640 kb limit. If you haven't tried it - do so. Or get OS/2
and sail miles high with multitasking and a ton of other features!!! Warp
rulez!

I would like to say this much: I've just purchased Helix's Multimedia Cloak
from CDW software (29.95) and it replaces your CD driver, mouse and even cache
drivers. I've been stuggling with trying to get extra memory with other mem
managers (QEMM, 386MAX).
The cloak works fantastic. I've replaced the cache and CD driver and save over
50K of conventional....something the mem managers couldn't do for me. Helix's
software speed up my system in many ways (8 seconds just on boot up). Its a
great investment for Dos and Windows and very well priced.

Well, the only difference that I know of (aside from the fact that you
can run the game right off the CD if you have a 486), is that it comes with
the shareware version of 'DOOM: Episode One'. I got mine on sale locally
for $38, but most places sell it for around $50. Good game!

Subj: Mitsumi and DMA Prob. Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
I just effected a trade for a Mitsumi CD-ROM. It installed fine and using /S
access as opposed to specifying a DMA channel it works perfectly. When I
choose a DMA channel, either it freaks QEMM out with an exception 13 report,
Goes into a constant reboot cycle, or without QEMM, load driver, and when I
try to access the drive, it reports, NOT ISO 9660 or HIGH SIERRA FORMAT ERROR.
However htis is the same CD's that work flawlessly on a non dma transfer mode.
I spoke with the guy I got it from who says it worked fine on his systems
under DMA mode. I spoke with another person who also had total failure trying
to get DMA mode to work on his CD-ROM, but works fine usiong software x-fer as
opposed to DMA x-fer. I have checked with abouyt 7 pieces of sftware that try
to id DMA's IRQ's, port addresses etc, and have written out all port addresses
and IRQ's referenced. No conflicts anywhere. DMA's seem to be invisible to the
software's tried. (Checkit, QAPlus, SYSINFO, SIPlus, MSD, MFT, and someothers)
I just wondered if anyone else had problems with selecting DMA mode for their
CD-ROM. My system is basically, a homegrown, 386DX40, IDE with one HDD, and
one 3.5"HD floppy, and one 5.25" HD Floppy, two Serial ports at standard
Address and IRq for Com1 & 2. Single Parraelle port, at standard address and
irq. Two Joy's, one disabled, one enabled, non conflict address, but invisble
to MSD. ThunderBoard (MediaVision) No Conflicts. Config.sys and autoexec.bat
have all but been replaced by bare essenstials, and tried all possibilities of
IRQ's, and DMA's, and port addresses that seemed usable.
Thanks!

Also, while I'm on the subject of D&D ... I have several Dungeons & Dragons
games from SSI for my Commodore 64 ... I have been told by Electronic Arts,
who is supposed to be distributing the SSI stuff now, that there are no
Macintosh versions of their D&D software in existence ... However, a file I
was sent that contains codes that are supposed to be used for Pirates to
crack commercial programs (I don't do this but it was sent to me) contains
codes for three of the games I have on my 64 that are supposed to be for the
Macintosh ... Which makes me think that there might actually be some SSI D&D
games floating around out there somewhere ... Anybody know anything about
this??????

Hi Chris!
CV> COR-333 is just a controller for the SONY CDU-33A, 31A, 6305, 7305 series.
CV> The CDU-33A, 31A-03, 6305-03 are all double speed drives.
Oh yes, I'm sorry, I mean the CDU-33A.
CV> Lately, other people talked about a Sonu CDU-110.
Why??? Is it so special??? (btw, it is a CDD-110, not CDU)
CV> Can you PLEASE give me
CV> more information on this model, and how it caught your attention ?
The problem is I recently bought a CDU-33A but after two weeks it didn't work
anymore. I sent it back to the company I bought it from. After three weeks they
sent me a complete new CD-ROMdrive, the CDU-110. It seems more advanced than
the CDU-33A. Also a 16-bit controller was included with the 110 (an 8 bit with
the 33A). The 110 has an motorised tray, so it slides out smoothly, the 33A
tray just popped out.
The details given in the manual are:
- it supports double speed operation, apart from the normal speed operation.
(I don't know how to set it at double speed or whether it is selected
automatically)
- it has 2-4 times oversampling with an integrated digital filter
- it supports Yellow Book Mode 1 & 2, which includes CD-XA and CD-I format
- it employs a 3-beam focusing and tracking mechanism.
- EBU digital output (optional)
- I^2 S output for external HIFI DAC.
I hope you can tell me if it always operates at double speed,
and what the differences are compared to the 33A.
(As written, I have a 16-bit controller, and my PC is an AMD 486DX2/66 VLB)
Thanks, Mark

oh,so you can get it in the states after all ???
someone on this side of the big pond has been speculating it was just for the
european market (which led others to believe that you will get cheap
quad-speeds any day now in the states ;-) ).

Subj: Help - Sound Card &. Warp Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Hi,
just wandering if any of you OS/2 gurus know if Warp for Win. will
accept/support my sound card. It's a Reveal (at least it came in a Reveal box
with my CD-ROM) 16 bit Sound FX with wavetable synthesis. Reveal is claming
that it supports SB Pro, AdLib, MPU401, MT-32, Roland and General Midi. Right
now it needs to be initialized from my autoexec.bat with SNDINIT /B line (/b
is to put it in blaster compatible mode). It's software configured for IRQ 5,
DMA 1 and address 220 - default factory settings. I don't think it can be
reset with jumpers as no instructions were included regarding hardware and I
can't see any on a board itself. So far I had no IRQ conflict, my printer is
on IRQ 7.
The CD-ROM is a Panasonic 2x, model 253b but I think I've seen OS/2 drivers
for it somewhere.(no IRQ, no DMA, address 340, drive D: through mscdex.exe)
The sound card is my main worry, especially it's usability in native OS/2 with
MMPM sounds and/or associated headaches with configuring it to work properly
in VDM.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

As long as the address of the controlller card do not conflict, you'll
have less trouble setting it up. Check the default setting on the SCSI
card, as to which address it is set to in the manuel, same applies
to the IDE controller card that you have in the system, and BTW
disable the floppy's on the SCSI card, their should be some jumpers
to configure that.....plug it in, attach your pride and joy,
the CD ROM and then do your installation, you might have to mount
the SCSI driver for the controller card for DOS to recognize it.
TRy that and see what happens, post back if you need more help
and how did it work out for you.

My windows driver is the GUS windows driver and it has worked with
everything except the latest Sierra games, GABRIEL KNIGHT and POLICE
QUEST 4 and these have been the only 2 failures I have encountered.
However for DOS games I found too many problems with SBOS and installed
an SB compatible which has been perfect with all DOS games. If a
program specifically supports GUS then I will use it and I do use GUS
for all music and sound files from DOS.
By the way I set my SB volume to match the GUS and feed it's output into
GUS which has one master volume control between its output and the
speakers. One minor annoyance is that after using GUS in Windows I find
it necessary to do a reinit to have sound in DOS but I have a function
key which takes care of that little chore.

Hello All,
I am looking for anyone who can shed some light on the new CD-ROM that Big
Blue is marketing. Known as the Wavetable 16, IBM touts its soundcard as being
better than Sounblaster and the like because it uses digital synthesis instead
of FM synthesis. What do they mean and how do they differ?
Other than that, the unit comes with a 2X CD-ROM (internal), cables,
speakers (2 or 4 watt, I can't remember), and a number of titles (like 11).
Has anyone bought or looked into this combo? What do you know or think about
it?
I thank you for your help in advance.
Later,

-> What is the name of the company that sells this card for $40.
I bought the card at a small, local computer store here in Rochester
in early July. I resold it to Steve Hatfield, a sysop in Rochester who
runs Hat's Place. I can't remember the name of the company, but I found
the invoice in the file:
STB-DSP550 STB 2S/1P with 16550 UARTS $42.95
At the time, I was having bootup problems and thought I had IRQ
conflicts with a sound card, a CD-ROM interface, a mouse, an external
modem, and the Deskconnect file transfer utility. The ability to assign
non-standard IRQ's to COM3 and COM4 is why I bought it. Since then, I
solved my problem a different way, and I already had a dual 16550 I/O
card.
If you want to leave a Fidonet message for Steve at the Hat's Place, I'm
sure he still has the box.

I did not solve the microscope puzzle myself. But I did 'solve' it

a OLD patch(1993), the card I've is 9400...
BTW, the game does support some VESA cards, but almost the OLD cards only,
(it's working on ET4000 okay, but if here comes out a new "ET5000" card,
I don't think it will work anyway)
In this case, I can't even install the game, it always hang after video
test on installation.......
But, HA HA HA..., I've just fix the problem up yesterday, it now working
perfect with my card now!!!

It depends on the software. I haven't seen any program (on IBM) that can read

Hello Ed,

> about it and if you recommend buying it!!!
I have Megarace and played it for a while now. Personally, I think it is very
good. The game is well thought of and the video sequences are superb. The only
'problem' I have, is the fact that I think it is rather difficult. The first
levels are not that difficult, but at a certain point, it changes from rather
easy to definitely difficult.
Due to the fact that it is on CD-ROM, there are (as far as I know) no cheats
possible, so you are left on your own to go through each level.
The version I have, sometimes makes my system hang, or for instance you can no
longer save your current level.
Apart from that, it is a fantastic racing game, at least if you like that.
Hasta la modem,
Yves

Can anyone tell me if they have played "MYST" and what
they thought about it. A friend has asked for this game
and "DOOM II" for Christmas and I don't know which one
to get him. Thanks for you help!

EM>how can i get in to the general store?
Ed:
This is the walk-through for Zork:
Pick up rock
Throw rock at vulture
Look on sign
Select your knife from inventory, then click on the bonding plant with it.
Dig up the plant.
Go forward twice to the lighthouse.
Put the arrow on the door and select it.
He lets you in, but you can't do anything here yet, so leave.
Bear left around the lighthouse.
Cut the vines with the knife.
Tie the vines on the wood planks.
Click on the raft.
Go forward once, then click on the bridge.
Go to the 1st building on your right, the schoolhouse.
Strike the bell with the knife.
Talk to Ms. Peepers, pass copy protection, and she gives you the notebook.
Take a picture of Ms. Peepers while you're here, you'll need it later.
Go into the Mayor's Office, he has helpful hints in his file cabinet,
but you don't really need any of them.
Go to the hardware store (2nd on right) and go in.
Get the box and the crank, leave the mice, you don't need them ever.
Now turn around until you see the bridge you came into town from the raft
on.
Go left at it, then into the old mill.
After Boos gives you rye, pour it into his plant.
Then click the glass on Boos, and make a toast.
Drink the empty glass.
Repeat the aboves 3 steps twice.
Now ask Boos for his keys.
Repeat the toasting procedure once more.
Get the flask and then go out the left door.
Pick up the key.
Move the chock on the water wheel (leftmost portion of screen)
Go back into the mill, and back to town.
Go to the gift shop, and use the single key on the door.
Get the battery, and the zorkmids and tickets from the cash register.
Put the battery into your tele-orb.
Now, go back until you're facing the bridge, and go down on the right.
Give the waif the tickets, then fill the flask with river water.
Go back to the old mill, and go down the trap door.
Use Boos keys on the door.
Exit the new mill through the door on the right.
Move around freely here, until you get a feel for where various locations
are.
From East Shanbar (where all the little shops are) select the red building,
which is Moodock's.
Click on the Survivor Game Board, and beat Moodock at Survivor. (real easy)
He gives you a sword, and a coin. Take them and leave.
Go to the striped building which is the blacksmiths.
Give him the sword and then leave.
Cross the bridge into New West Shanbar and you should be at a fork, with
a Hero's Memorial. Bear left at the fork.
At the Fool's Memorial fork, grab the book and bear right. (again, wander,
with the lack of compass directions, it is sometimes hard to find a
location)
You should now be at Pugney's Ranch. Go up to the red house, and click on
the window.
When he starts yapping, be apologetic and he'll give you permission to take
the box of bras on his property.
Take the box of bras.
Now go back to East Shanbar (where the shops were) and go to the
Incinerator.
Push lever 1, and throw the box of bras into the incinerator.
Close the incinerator (lever 1) and hit lever 2.
Zoom in on the incinerator drawer and you should have a hot wire.
Pour the water in the flask on the wire.
Take wire.
Go to the green building (next to Moodock's)
Insert the wire in the door.
Pick up the rats, and put them in the box.
Shake the cereal box twice and take the whistle.
Now go back to the Blacksmiths.
Give him money for the repair work he did.
Notice the jewel is gone from the hilt? He screwed you! Show him the sword.
Now threaten him, and he should give you the True Dwarven Sword back.
Show him the book you picked up from the fool's memorial.
Give him 2 more Zorkmids, and he'll read the book.
He smudges the page, and gives you 1 zorkmid back, pick it up and leave.
Find the Fool's Memorial and go left at the fork.
You should be near a trailer and a silo, go into the trailer through
the window.
Go into the first door on the left and click on the poodle.
Now go into the door left of the large open arch.
So you get KO'd. Talk to Rebecca. Pass copy protection.
Now go into the open archway (kitchen)
Pick up the soap from the sink, and drop it into the sink.
Turn on the sink.
Wash the waif's gift in the sink, you now have 1 disc piece (need 6)
Open the fridge and take the frozen meat.
Take the Thermozz from the table (next to cereal box)
Click on the oven, and turn it on for kicks.
Go into the door on the right of the arch.
Zoom in on the nightstand and take the mirror.
Go outside until you're facing the trailer again, and go right.
You should be at a silo. Use the crank on the silo latch.
Turn the crank clockwise.
Pick up the carrots.
Now make your way back to Pugney's Ranch.
Go into his barn (big blue barn)
Pick up some hay, from near the cow's mouth.
Drop the hay a little in front of his front hooves.
Take the matches from your inventory and light one of them.
Light the hay on fire.
Now, with nothing in your hands, click on the hay fire.
Warm your hands.
Take the Thermozz out of your inventory, and click it on the cow.
Milk the cow.
Feed the carrots to the cow, then use the camera to take a picture of it.
Now, go way, way back through the mills to the first town you came to
when you got off the raft. (you go right from the bridge in New West
Shanbar)
Go to the schoolhouse and show the book (the one you had the Blacksmith
translate) to Ms. Peepers.
Go to the Mayor's Office, and show him the book.
By this time the meat you picked up from the trailer should be rotting.
(You'll know, because everyone will tell you that you're reeking.)
You're done here for now, so go back through the mills again.
Now find the bridge that goes to New West Shanbar, and go left of it.
You should now be at a dock.
End your conversation with him, and click on the knot Ben is holding.
Once you learn the cow-hitch, click on Ben and ask him about photos.
Click on the picture of Ms. Peepers. He'll give you a love letter.
Give Ben some Zorkmids and you'll rent a boat.
Take the rats you have out of the box, and put them into the motor.
Go down the river to the Witch's hut, and go in.
You'll have to drop the rotting meat on the ground here before she'll even
talk to you. Once you do that, show Witch Itah the book.
Now give Ben's love letter to the Witch.
She'll give you the Witches Stick. DON'T touch the bat cage or you will
effectively end the game. (Guardian takes all possessions from you)
Pick up the stick, and the meat, and go out the opening in the hut.
Unfortunately, the directions in the bog are random, and change every game.
Therefore you will have to map out the directions with the witch stick.

What you do is place the witches stick over the patch of bog you are about
to step to. If it sinks, don't go there, obviously.
Now, make your way to the fork in the road, where the incinerator is on the
left.
Bear left at the fork.
You should be at some ancient ruins. Pick up the tiles.
Do an about face and pick up the frame.
Select the tiles from your inventory, and use them with the frame. Drop
the tiles into the frame.
Look at the puzzle.
You want to spell out the following:
(In small letters)
Water unseen at falls mix with bat dropping yields potion for
(invisibility)
(big letters)
Search for three more pieces on the ground where this (was found)
Once you solve the puzzle, there will be 2 illuminite rocks and another
piece of the disc (#2) either right where you're standing, or right behind
you.
Pick them up, or do an about face, and then pick them up.
Now, when you are in the ruins, and can see trees on the left, go to them
and you'll be in the Forest of the Spirits.
Go NORTH, EAST, EAST and SOUTH.
You should be at a tree with metal leaves.
Hit the tree with the witch's stick to get more zorkmids. (You can do this
as many times as you need money, which you will need to do.)
Do an about face, then go WEST, WEST, NORTH, WEST, SOUTH and WEST.
Give the Thermozz to the Archer.
(Incidentally, the guy who IS the Archer played Flash Gordon in the
movies.)
(You know - Flash...aaaaaa-aaah! Oh well, maybe not.)
Pick up the Thermozz, the Bow, and the arrows.
Go NORTH, NORTH, and WEST.
Quickly take matches from your inventory, and light one of them.
Click on the Fairy, then be Friendly, she'll give you fairy dust.
Go EAST, SOUTH, SOUTH, EAST, NORTH, EAST, SOUTH, SOUTH and SOUTH.
You should be back in the ruins.
(From this point on, if at any you should run into Rebecca, show her the
book
that you've been having people translate from.)
She usually hangs out to the right of the fork at the Hero's Memorial.
Make your way (ONLY after she has translated the book for you) to
Snoot's Farm, and go left of it.
You should be facing a path with trees and water in the distance.
Go towards the tree.
Take the rope from the railing and tie it on the tree.
Go down the rope twice.
NOTE: Before you go into the club, you MUST have/have done the following:
Have the LIVING bonding plant in your inventory.
Have had the book translated by the following people:
The Blacksmith
Witch Itah
The Mayor
Rebecca
Go into Chuckle's Comedy Club.
Once Cliff tells you to "make him laugh" use your tape recorder and play
back the jokes that each of the 4 people told you.
If you followed this solve religiously, the number of the recordings are as
follows:
The Blacksmith, Track #3
Witch Itah, Track #1
The Mayor, Track #4
Rebecca, Track #4
Upon playing these, you will win the contest, and Cliff will give you
another
piece of the disc (#3).
Leave Cliffs quickly, and climb back up the rope.
Take the rope from the tree, and put it in your inventory.
Go back to Pugney's ranch and go left from the barn.
You should be at the vulture pits.
Take the fairy dust and use it with the rotting meat.
Sprinkle the fairy dust on the meat, then select the meat from inventory.
Throw the rotting meat.
Quickly go forward into the pits, grab the talon, and leave.
Go back the barn, and milk the cow again, putting milk in the Thermozz.
Go back into town, and make your way to Ben's boat again.
Make sure you have a photo of the cow at this point.
Pay for another boat ride, and go into the witches hut again.
Ask Witch Itah about photos, and click on the photo of the cow.
Take the bat cage, and go through the bog again (the map should be the same
as the first time you went through it.)
Now, from the fork at the incinerator, go right. You will be outside
Whispering Woods.
Make sure you have: The Thermozz with milk, the batcage, the sword, and
the coin that Moodock gave you.
Select the bat cage from inventory, and release the bats.
As soon as they fly off, pick up some bat "guano" from the ground.
Follow the bats, when you start to lose your peripheral vision (It's
critical when it says "Can you see the Ga-lactic Milky Way?" take a drink
of
milk from the Thermozz)
If you can't follow the bats, or you can't see them at some points, the
following moves will take you to the exit.
SOUTH, EAST, EAST, SOUTH, EAST, SOUTH, EAST, SOUTH, EAST, NORTH, NORTH,
(Now would be a good time to drink milk) NORTH, EAST, EAST, SOUTH, SOUTH,
SOUTH, WEST, SOUTH, SOUTH and you should be out.
Go out onto the Ferryman's dock and ring the bell three times.
SHOW the coin to the Reaper, DON'T give it to him or you'll have to load a
saved game. He'll take you across the lake.
Go back from the dock and up the hill until you reach Canuk's shack.
Go up to the door, and pry the door knocker (magnet) off with your sword.
Go into the shack (click on the doorknob.)
Pick up the bottle, and the scroll.
Read the scroll to the duck and Canuk will appear.
Ask Canuk about the bottle you just picked up, and he will put you inside
the bottle. You must do *everything* quick here.
Go forward three times and get the rag.
Examine the safe next to the bed. The combination is 9427.
Open the safe, get the disc piece (#4) and the rusty metal thing.
Put the mirror in your hand, and back up out of the bottle.
When Canuk gets ready to kill you, click the mirror on him to change him
into a duck.
Go back to Ferryman's Isle and hit the bell twice. Give the reaper the
coin.
Go back through the woods, following the trails of the bats.
Drink milk when necessary.
Use the rag from inventory to wipe the rusty metal thing. (What good it
does,
I don't know)
Make your way to vulture pits. Use the magnet from inventory with
the whitle, and then blow the whistle. A vulture will pick you up.
You can now go anywhere you have been on the map, simply by clicking on it.
Now would be a good time to get more hay from the barn, and more carrots
from the exploded silo - you'll need them later on.
Once you've got them, select the lighthouse from your map, and go there.
Go into the lighthouse and give the keeper one of your illuminite rocks,
he'll let you in.
Show the Keeper your disc pieces, and he'll give you another one (#5)
Go upstairs, take the rope and tie a cow-hitch knot on the railing.
Take the talon from inventory, and tie it to the rope.
Throw the rope.
Go forward to the tree, forward again to the temple.
Get the shield from the statue, and enter the temple.
End your conversation with her, and give her your sword. She'll bless it.
Exit the temple, do an about face and go out the right door.
The dwarven leader will give you a helmet. Take the helmet and leave.
Make your way back to the lighthouse, and pick up the rope and talon.
Use your map and go directly to the troll caverns (right of the hero fork)

Pick up your illuminite rock from inventory, and use it with the helmet.
Wear the helmet, pick up your sword (should be blue now) and enter the
troll caverns.
At the first guard, swing left. Go forward.
At the second guard, swing up. Go forward.
At the third guard, swing down. Go forward.
At the head troll, keep threatening him. He'll give you the fear necklace.
After you get the necklace, go directly to the Forest of the Spirits via

From the entrance: NORTH, NORTH, WEST, SOUTH, WEST, NORTH, NORTH, WEST,
WEST,
NORTH, NORTH, NORTH, EAST, EAST, EAST, EAST, EAST, SOUTH, and EAST
At the pile of leaves, use your talon and throw it at the pile of leaves.
Take your knife and strike the trap with it. Retrieve your talon.
From here go through the new opening, NORTH, NORTH, NORTH and NORTH.
You should be at a statue of a boar.
Hit the statue three times with your sword and retrieve the final piece of
the disc.
Go back, WEST, NORTH, WEST, WEST, WEST, WEST, SOUTH, WEST, WEST, NORTH,
WEST and WEST.
You should be at a spider. Show the Fear Necklace to the spider and he will
run away.
Use your sword from inventory, and cut the web. Go forward to the dam.
Go once forward until you're close to the dam, then fill the flask with
the water from the dam.
Take the bat guano from your inventory, and drop it into the flask.
You now have an invisibility potion.
Use the map to go directly to the Dwarven Mines (where you got the helmet)
And enter the mine cart. The directions for the cart are as follows:
LEFT, RIGHT, STRAIGHT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, STRAIGHT, RIGHT, LEFT, LEFT,
RIGHT and STRAIGHT.
You should be at the Ancient Ruins.
NOW - From LEFT to RIGHT give the statues the following.
1. WITCH STICK

5. SHIELD
6. TELE-ORB

Put the disc pieces in the trencher, then push the RED button.
You now have the Flying Disc of Frobozz.
Pick up EVERYTHING you see here, and then use the map to go directly to
the Cliffs of Depression.
From there, do an about face, and go left.
You should be at the Wall of Illusion, previously unpassable.
Throw the Frobozz disk at the Wall of Illusion, and go forward to the
Citadel of Zork.
Take the bow from your inventory, and click on the arrows.
Shoot an arrow at the hand, and the Citadel's gate will open.
When you reach the Orc Leader, drink the invisibilty potion that you mixed
in the flask.
When it says the Orc Guard can still sense your presence, play the
recording
of Alexis (the poodle) he will run away.
Go forward to the Citadel Bridge.
┌──────┐

Now, start tossing EVERYTHING at the Citadel Bridge (into the fire.)
Once you have thrown enough objects into the fire, the bridge will be safe
to cross. (You will see a message saying so)
Cross the bridge.
You must now play Survivor against Morphius for it all.
Here is a pattern which will always work, as long as you pass your move if
Canuk is occupying the next space you need to go to.

Yeah, if you want a good CD rom, go get a 3DO. They've been on
sale in Canada for months now (no more "mail-order price
premium"). That way, you'll experience no install problems, no
glitches, no conflicts, just the best CD gaming available on the
planet (and you won't have to play on that squinty 15" monitor).

That's a loaded question. What do you want to do? Play games, listen to
audio cd's only, play video, etc. Do you have a sound card currently or
any SCSI devices already installed?
I did a fair amount of reading before I sunk in my $$$. PC Mag October 25,
94 reviews several CD-ROMS, Speakers and software. Worth a look. I bought
a Game Blaster CD-16 by Creative Labs. Works great and came with software
that I wanted. Watch out for bundles that you'll never use. Since I have
no young kid's I chose for more of an non-family unit.
Hope this helps, let me know if I can help out.

If you are refering to the Living Books distributed by BR0DERBUND...
I picked up "Just Grandma & Me" through Surplus Software out of Hood River
Oregon for about $18 bucks (best price I found). Their number is

Don,
I've done some business with Mike from time to time and to date have
never had a problem. Your post sent off some alarms, so I was wondering
if your situation turned out alright. I don't want to do business with
anyone that tends to take unfair advantage of us little guys. On the
other hand any of us can make mistakes, so I'm hoping that was the case
here. Mike has always done me right, so perhaps it was a slip of the
pen or a human error. Let me know if you don't mind. Thanks!

Hi William,
EXMFBI, but I saw the new DoomII cd version on sale at Costco

I didn't catch the price, but judging from there other prices, I'd

I currently own QEMM 7.04 and have 634k free, after I load my CD drive
(plus my network card, sound, local bus drivers, etc.). So, I don't see any
reason for the 7.5 "upgrade", Windows interface or not. Just think, next
summer 7.5 won't work with Windows '95, as it won't need memory managment!
I'd still keep DOS and any flavor of QEMM on hand for any CD-ROM DOS-based
games though! Thanks for the input.

Bert, I am looking to get into the CD-ROM business and have been looking
for the names of a few distributors. Are the names you mentioned above
distributors and if so, would you provide me with their addresses? I'd
like to make contact and this appears to be a good place to start.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
At Starvector Software, we have made it our policy since 1987 to only
advertise titles which we actually have IN STOCK. There are many CD-ROM
distributors advertising "1000's of CD's", when in fact they only keep a
small percentage of that quantity on hand. This creates delays and
frustration for you, and is the primary reason we have always elected to
"stock what we sell". Like all businesses, items will occasionally sell
out, but our in-stock rate currently is around 97%, and we're striving to
improve on that. Call us! 600+ CD's READY TO SHIP TODAY at great prices.

I have Grolier's and I like it. I have not seen any others. I recently
received an offer from them for an upgrade to be out soon. I have read
that Encarta probably has the best multimedia features (animation,
video, sound, etc.), and more of them than the others offer. I have also
heard that Grolier's has the most in-depth articles, even though they
might not be as recent as what has been in the news the past year. I
find it very easy to use. I have played around with it mostly and have
always found what I was looking for - even though I have never looked at
the manual. That says something about its ease of use. Even though I
haven't used the other two CD's, I would bet that any of them would be
good.

It's very simple. The drives are perfectly compatable. The software on the PC
doesn't provide the features the Mac's software does.
It's why everyone keeps saying '<insert PC software/hardware name here> works
just like a Mac'. Of course, it never really does.

No, you are right, the name of the title is not required on the form. But,
if the package is opened for inspection, and is found to be on the XXX rated
hit list, it will be confiscated.
Personally, I haven't lost any, but a couple of deliveries have been held for
inspection, others opened and resealed. Several other dealers I have spoken to
have had deliveries stopped because of the content. I suppose it depends on
the mood of the inspector.

Yes, I have a single speed mitsumi, and have had simular problems. It
would not work with 16 bit dma transfer (driver mtmcde.sys) or software
interrupt transfer, which the manual strongly recommends for best
performance. I've had to use software polling (driver mtmcds.sys), which
works good, but I'd prefer better. My solution? I'm going to wait 'till
January when I believe I'll be able to find double speeds at their
lowest prices and/or clearances from Christmas shopping. Until then
I'll just try different irq's and dma combinations to see if I can get
it to work. Let me know if you get a breakthrough, since you seem more
knowledgable than me. I have a 486sx-25, ide.

Subject: Good CD Ordering Locations
Here's a novel approach. Instead of always complaining about the
companies/individuals that are ripping us off, lets share some good news
about GOOD vendors and individuals. For instance I have ordered CD's
from a variety of differrent locations I see advertised in Shopper and
here. By far the best I have dealt with thus far has been Mike SHANNON
at Starvector. Quick responses, always having a product in stock, and
actually talking to Mike or some other real person when I call are just
a few of the highlights. I have also had good dealings with Profit Press
and a Company called CMS Distributing. Now to be fair, I have also dealt
with some real clunkers. CD's that had one name but was a different CD
all together, one with 50% unreadable files and some other just plain
bad companies. I have not been ripped off so far, but am a little
cautious in my dealings. I would be interested in hearing some other
good places to order. Each of the above are advertised here so no reason
for me to post an address. If someone has any other good places, let us
all know.

Hey man! I solved this one (the hard way) here is the solution to driving
the underground car around, once you've got inside and it has placed you on
the track facing north, then here are the directions:
NORTH, WEST, NORTH, EAST, EAST, SOUTH, SOUTH, WEST, SOUTHWEST, WEST,
NORTHWEST, NORTHEAST, NORTH, SOUTHEAST.
This will dock you at a point you can get off at. be carrying a page

Actually, his above quote is not accurate. The add read "Winbox 2 for
$9". Now the layman not knowing that the title is "Winbox 2" would
possibly think "Winbox" "2 for $9". It was an honest mistake. I would
suggest "Winbox/2" or "Winbox-2". Just my 2 cents.

JV>Hey guys I saw your discussion and have a question, My myst
JV>keeps on hanging, exiting in the middle of a move, yours
JV>too? whats the solution?
I haven't had any trouble at all on my computer, but when I bought it for
my Dad, his would lock up early in the game. He just bought his computer
the day I arrived to his place on vacation. We called the place he bought
his computer from and they said a lot of people have trouble with Myst.
They changed his SB to a Sound Blaster (the other was an SR-1, whatever
that is, if I remember correctly) and he didn't have any trouble with it
afterwards. I would guess you have a configuration conflict. Do you have
any troubles with other games or programs? When I first put in my CD-Rom
I had a heck of a time getting all of the IRQs and addresses set so that
my 1)Modem, 2)Scanner, and 3)CD-Rom would all work correctly.
Have you read the README.TXT in your MYST directory? Hope I have been
of some help. Let me know if I can help more.

Hello
I've got a problem with my Mitsumi FX001D 2x speed.
I don't understand it, I can use every cdrom on my drive without having any
problem. It is even perfect, good speed, no problems, everything is perfect.
BUT, when I want to use a cdrom that's written by my friend I've got some
problems. The drive accepts the cd and I can use it, but then for some reason
he sais CD 001 not ready reading or something and then Abort, Retry, Fail.
When I press Retry a few times it works, but it's very annoying.
I thought that my friend didn't write his cd's good, but he doesn't have a
problem with them and other people also don't have problems, I have 5 cdroms,
all different and the only cdrom where it didn't work on is the Mitsumi.
I've used another driver and then it worked better, much better and I got the
problem not so often but it was still there.
I've tried to put the /K (kanji) parameter behind my MSCDEX.EXE but it had no
result.
I'm tired of this problem and want to know the solve.
please, help me if you can! Is it the driver?? If so, are there allready new
drivers???
bye

If you have just entered East Shanbar, you do not have
the means to get in the General Store at this time.
Further on in the game, after you exit the incinerator,
you have the means to get in the general store. There's
nothing there except an open box of cereal and some
rats.

Business and Education 94
Soon to be released... the highest quality -most up to date- collection
of Business and Educational shareware available at this time in human
history. This collection of knowledge/money power/profit shareware
programs is designed to give you the advantage in the management of your
business, home and personal finances. Here are some of the features:
* Over 400 megs of the highest quality Business and Education
related shareware programs released between Oct 93 and Nov 94.
* The files (aprox 1500) were cataloged under the following 10 categories:
ACCOUNT - Accounting, Spreadsheet, Payroll, Bookkeeping, Tax, Mortgage,
Load and Checkbook Calculating/Records.
BUSINESS - Point of Sale, Invoice, Billing, Stock Trackers and Analysis
BUS_WIN - Windows Business Programs
DATABASE - Phone, Rolodex, Time Scheduling, Inventory, Zipcodes etc.
EDUCATE - Education and Tutorial Programs, Teacher's aids.
ED_WIN - Windows Education
GRAPHICS - Graphics, Presentation, Pie Charts, etc.
PERSONAL - Home and Personal financial management
PRINTER - Printing, Forms and Mailing Labels
TEXT - Text Files for Business and Education, Glossaries, Spelling,
Abbreviations and a few Frequently asked Questions Files.
* This cd uses the same powerful view and retrieval engine that was
written for Cream of the Crop 5. It runs entirely on the cd and
provides the convenience of uncompressing and executing programs,
browsing docs/text and unarchiving .ZIP, .ARJ and .LZH files that the
authors may have placed inside the archives on the cd.
* Includes all the Cream of the Crop utilities for automatic and INSTANT
setup on Maximus, ProBoard, Spitfire, Ra, Qbbs, Pcboard and TBBS.
* Includes the listings, descriptions and classifications of all the
files included on Cream of the Crop 2, 3, 4 and 5 ...setup so they can
be browsed and searched with the powerful view and retrieval program.
This data is currently in the pre-mastering stage and will be sent to
press in a few days. Due to the heavy Christmas demand at the cd rom
manufacturing plants it will probably be after Thanksgiving before this
cd will be available for shipping. I'll keep you informed!

Some of you out there might be wondering if the 5 foot 10 packs are
really that good. Well for about $30 you get 10 CD's, a few of which
you're bound to like. I was surprised to find the the Battle Chess
CD-ROM has playable demos of other games like Alone in the Dark on it.
I would have never paid the $50+ bucks Battle Chess used to cost on
CD-ROM, but for $3, hey. You get some neat movie clips/ads in Movie
Select, Shelock Holmes #1 is so-so, but you also get Space Quest IV,
Home Medical Advisor, Rock Rap and Roll, etc.
Killing Moon is a 4 CD-ROM game set that plays under DOS. It's got
pretty neat pictures like 7th Guest, but it's not really what I call an
interactive movie. You normally only have 3 responses for the corny
detective you play. It's also a little tricky to get used to the mouse
movement.

Ah that is the general store that you read about disappearing in the

have you been to pugney's what did you get there? Have you been to
Snoots yet and what do you have from there? what did you read in the

What did you think about the file I sent you earlier? I am sending you
a copy of my suggestions for the research. Please take a look and tell
me what you think.
Miscellaneous
Only the best of each type of object should remain. Who
would build less than class 4 fortications, class 3 walls,
class 3 energy storage, etc... Why would anyone that is
serious use less than the best? Research plants should
be the same way, but only for those available at the
start of the game.
Why not allow the Energy generators, but decrease the
difference in the types. i.e...
Nuclear 20
Geo-thermal 17
Coal 14
Solar 12
Hydro-electric 12
Let's make the types more realistic. Give a 2% chance in
the Nuclear exploding and destroying all surrounding areas
when destroyed itself. Make the coal a 1% chance of the
same. The solar would work a little better, maybe create
1 more if on a mountain. The Hydro-electric could only
be placed on rivers or moving water, not lakes. The
geo-thermal would have a 1% chance of exploding itself each
day that it is working. This explosion would only destroy
itself. The heat build up from lava is the cause. The
costs of the plants should reflect the power out-put.
Reseach
Research should improve almost every aspect of the game.
The amount of research points should be set at a particular
level for each advance, but on the nightly maintance, it
should check to see if the player has done enough researh,
and then randomly decide if the person got something out
of that day. I think a technological advance every 4-5 days
with something like 10-20 research stations would be fair.
All types are cumlative. These improvements must be
implemented, so things must be demolished and then rebuilt to
take advantage of them. Some of the advances are...
Laboratories
These would give 5% more research each day. The amount would
increase with each advance in that area. Some would be
Fully Computerized Laboratories, Laser-Enhanced Equipment,
Atomic Accelerators, and Plasma Scanners. These would each occu
in order giving slightly more than the next level.
Fire-Control
These would increase the chance of a fire on your map being put
out by 10%. The advances are Improved Water-storage tanks,
Portable Foam Guns, and Nitrogen Mists.
Teleporter
The teleporter itself would need to be developed. It would
require 6,500 research and can be later improved. Each
level would be random, not in order, but would improve a differe
aspect of the teleporter. The levels would be...
Improved Target Lock
Decreases the chance of your borg disappearing during
transport, and higher chance of landing where you select
Varing Matter compensators
Decreases the chance of your borg disappearing during
transport.
Pyro-Compensators
Gives a 20% chance of teleporting into fire safely. If
it fails, the borg is dead.
ACR Cannon
The ACR must be developed. The cannon would generate 15% heat
each shot. Every day, it would get rid of 25% of that heat.
There are also enhancements to improve the effects of the cannon.
ACR Coolant System
Decreases the heat by 15% more each day.
ACR Spread
Increases the spread to 5 X 5 from 3 X 3, but only 9
squares are hit, spread across the 5 X 5 area. Good
for setting fires. i.e...
O O
OOO O O
beforeOOO after O O
OOOO O
O
Targeting Enhancements
This would increase the hit chance by 2-3% for all weapons on
your map. The levels would be Environmental Compensators,
Radar Enhancements, Infared Enhancements, and Laser Targeting.
Energy Storage
This would increase the storage capacity of all your
energy storage cells, they increase by 5%. The levels
would be Nickle-Cadmium, Lithium Fusion, and Crystaline.
Walls
This would increase the strength of fortifications.
The levels and damage potential would be...
Starts- Level 1 - Concrete 125%
with
Level 2 - Ferrocrete 145%
Level 3 - Renforced Ferrocrete 170%
Level 4 - Composite Ferrocrete 185%
Resource Centers*
This increases the profit of each new resource station by
3-4%. The Resource Control Center can also be upgraded to
Individual Link-up, Remote Access Systems, and Fully Automated
Coordination System. The individual resource center advances
are...
Farming
Improved Fertilizers, Growth Stimulates,
Robotic Workes, and Fully Automated Farms.
Fishing
Sonic Charting, Improved Nets, Robotic
Boats, and Fully Automated Canneries.
Lumber
Improved Cutting Devices, Growth Stimulates,
Robotic Drivers, and Robotic Lumber-Jacks.
Ore
Sonic Sensors, Laser Cutting-tools,
Robotic Lifts, and Fully Automated Farms.
*The Ore should be a mix of Uranium and Ore. This new Ore
would be able to be built anywhere, but would work best on
mountains or hills. The profit should be a mix of the two.
Stationary Weapons
This would increase the damage of the weapons by 5%. The
advances are...
Laser(either one)
Enhanced Lens, Stream-lined Rods, and Improved

Improved Propellant, Stream-Lined Design, and
Armor-Piercing War-Head.
Plasma Cannon
Plasma Inductor, Ionized Barrel, and Improved
Storage Tanks.
The damage of the borg weapons are improved with the
stationary.
Equipment
Equipment would be for borgs and would not advance in any
order. Some would be new equipment, others would be
improvements.
ECM
Lowers the chance of being hit.
Targeting Computer
Increases the chance of you hitting the target.
Improved Cooling
Removes 1 point of heat for each movement.
Heat-Resistant Hydrofoil
Gain only 2 point of heat over lava.
Armor
Armor is for borgs and increases the amount of damage
that the borg can take. The armor improves by levels
in order.
Titanium
Absorbs 8% more damage.
Composite
Absorbs 6% more damage.
Composite Weave
Absorbs 3% more damage.
The coatings of the armor can also be improved.
Combinations can be developed as well as improving the
current coatings. Each improvement would increase success
by 5%. Combinations would be more advanced and only
between unimproved coatings.
Research
Each research center should create 25 research points. The
type of invention should be random. The levels must be
in order. i.e.-
Randomly chooses between resource
structures
weapons
miscellaneous
Under resource, it would randomly pick between the types
and control center. The next available level would
be developed.
Under structures, it would randomly pick between
energy, fortications, storage, and research. The
next available level in the choosen type would be
developed.
Under Weapons, it would randomly pick between targeting,
weapons, borg equipment, borg frames, and borg armor.

In order to send mail via Internet, you must have Internet access. The

is allowing you to send mail through this network. Some boards do have
Internet access, if yours does, you would address the TO: field with the

You'll definitely want a map, and you'll need to save often, because there are

I have a brand new, Panasonic 563 internal for sale, if you have a SoundBlaster
16 (so that you don't need the int card) then it is $168.00 plus S/H, if you
need the card then add $12.00.... this drive doesn't take an IRQ, or DMA
channel, it only uses a PORT ADDRESS usually 310-370.... that way there is no
"conflict problems... I have installed many of these at my shop usual time to
install and have it runnings... 5-10 mins..... we also have the Panarray CDROM
tower which is 4 of the Panasonic 563's in an external case, with 2 fans, the
good thing about this unit is all 4 drives, work independently, unlike the "6
pack" drives... and it only takes 1 port address, no IRQ's, no DMA's.... that
goes for $749 plus S/H... there are also the SCSI and 4x speed versions of the
Panarray... these 2 versions allow you to have a "3 drive sidecar" to add onto
the Panarray... if you are interested in any of the above... give me a call at

Borg Types
All borgs would carry 1 internal power-plant that can provide
500 points of energy to the borg each day. One additional
plant can be added to supply 500 more, but it would fill a
device bay. The first three class borgs are available to
everyone from the start and the fourth and fifth must be
developed. The equipment can be installed in bays. The
time required to install them would be a percentage of that
borg's max. movement rate.

Rosanne, Both are excellent games. Myst is a problem solving,

Either one will give your friend hours of fun.

Hi Mike,
I was just wandering if you are just a distributor or do you also make CD's?
If you make CD's, do you have a copy of the most recent version of "Yankees &

Try Corel Gallery. It has over 10,000 "metafile" clip art items on one
CD-ROM. If your not familiar with metafiles, the files are not
bit-mapped, but contain the instructions for "drawing" the image (.WMF,
.IMG, etc.). This means no matter how large you make the image, it will
maintain smooth edges.
The CD comes with a book that shows all the clip-art by subject. It is
an EXCELLENT value at $34.95 at Computer City.

Thanks for the help. The trunk trip really helped. I solved all the
riddles and completed MYST.
Regarding the submersible lamp... The secret is in turning on the
generator and then looking through the telescope at the light on the
horizon. Note the degrees. Use this number to push the correct button
on the compass that is located on the first landing as you go up the
stairs from either brother's room. You push on the door on the right on
the first landing going up the stairs. On the compass are buttons.
Choose the button that corresponds to the degrees on the telescope.
I won't help you more than that, it takes the fun out of it.
Good luck.

The CD version of DOOM II offers two benefits:
1. It has the Shareware version of DOOM I 1.666 on it.
2. It plays off the CD disc saving you sixteen megs of hard drive
space. Which is the amount of space you would need to play it off
your hard drive. (using the floppy disk one)

This file will help you get the answers to the puzzles on Myst island and
all the different ages that you can go to in Myst version 1.0
Written by : Andrew Blayer
You may freely distribute this file at your convenience
The first section will explain a little about what you need to do on Myst
island, how to use the map in the library, and how to get to the tower. The
second section explains how to get to each of the different ages. The third
section tells how to get through each age. The fourth and final section
will
tell how to finish the game.
Myst Island - To start off, as you go up the path towards the library, you
will find a note laying on the ground. It says, "Catherine, I've left you a
message of utmost importance in our fore-chamber beside the dock. Enter the
number of Marker Switches on this island to retrieve the message. Yours,
Atrius" I'll give this one away. After you start and are on the dock, turn
left. You should see an outline in the metal. Click on it to open the
door.
Now go all the way down to the bottom of the stairs to the pool of water.
(By the way, the water is just a holographic image) Turn right twice and go
up to the piece of paper on the wall. You should see something that looks
like a button above the upper left-hand corner of the paper. Click on it.
When it opens, change the left number to 0 and the right number to 8. Now
press the red button and wait until it closes the panel. Go back to the
imager, the thing with the water in it, and push the button in the front of
it. Now you got the message and it's time to hit some switches. Hit the one
on the dock and up the stairs by the gears. Walk around for a while and you
should be able to hit 5 more for now. Now go into the library. It's the big
building with pillars on the outside of it and an open door. Enter and turn
around a few times. You will see a red and blue book. Go up to either of
them, take the page beside it, and click it on that book. (Blue pages only
work with the blue book and red pages only work with the red book. Clicking
it on a book with a different color will have no effect) Now click on the
book to open it and you find a person trapped in each of them begging for
you to release them (The static makes it hard to understand them). You
can't
do anything for them yet. Check the bookshelf in the front of the library
to
find 4 books that have not been destroyed. In each one, you will find out
about each age you must visit. In the book with the blue cover and leaves
on
the front, you will find constellations. Write down the patterns. You will
need them later. In the blue book with the sun on it, you will see piano
keys and numbers below them. Copy this down with the numbers and also the
highlighted keys they are pointing to. Finally, go to the map near the
door.
To see if you've hit enough switches, hold the mouse button on the tower
(flashing circles). The white line turning around should pause for a second
and turn red on 4 different places. To gain access to the tower, you must
be
in the library. Go to the picture to the left of the bookshelf. Click on
it.
It should spin around and the bookshelf should go down forming stairs. When
you go back there you will find an elevator. This will take you to the
tower.
When you are in the tower, you can go up the ladder in front of you where
the tower is facing. You will just see rock if it is not facing a direction
that is important. Now, if you go to the left or the right side of the
elevator and move forward, you will see a ladder with a key on the wall.
This is what is important. If you have the tower pointed in the right
place,
and go up the ladder, you will see a hint of what you need to do to gain
access to the book located there that will take you to a certain age. To
get
out of the library (opening the bookshelf will close the library door),
simply click on the picture to the right of the bookshelf and make it spin
around.
How to get to the different ages
The Gears - Go to the map in the library, turn on the tower, and it stop on
the picture of the gears. Go to the tower and look at the plaque on the
wall
above the ladder with the key. It will give you a time and 3 numbers. Write
them down. Get out of there and go to the clock tower that is out in the
water. Just keep going straight when you leave the library. Look at the
clock and note what time it is. Now look down at the wheels. The large
wheel
will move the minute hand 5 minutes ahead. The small wheel moves the hour
hand 1 hour ahead. Turn the wheels until the time on the clock matches the
time you got from the tower. Push the red button. Gears should come out of
the water making a bridge. Cross it and hit the switch. Now go into the
clock. You have to figure out how to get the 3 little gears to go in the
same sequence as the numbers in the tower that were below the time it gave
you. If the weight goes down all the way, you have to reset it. To do this,
just pull the lever with the black handle. When the numbers are right, the
weight will go all the way down, and the gear in the front of the table
will turn up like it was cut in half. Now you can go to the large gears in
the beginning near the dock and they will be open. Go up to it, open the
book inside it, and click on the moving picture.
The Spaceship - This one isn't easy. Rotate the tower so it is facing the
spaceship. Now go to the tower and look at the plaque above the ladder with
the key. It will give you a certain number of volts. Next, you need to go
to the power station. It is in the woods and has a big light above the
door.
Go down the stairs and push the button on the side of the door. When you go
in, you should see 2 dials and 10 buttons. Turn one on, write down how many
volts is produces, then turn it off. You have to find out which buttons
will equal the number of volts that were in the tower. If you go over that
number, it will cut the power to the ship. Don't worry. There are 2 towers
with cables running up to them. One is behind the power station and the
other is down the hill where the stone path to the ship is. They each have
circuit breakers on them. You have to pick one, climb up it, and pull the
lever. If you hear a little click, it's the wrong tower. If there is a loud
click, almost like a door slamming shut, you can go back to the station and
try again. When the power is right, go to the ship and open the door. In
the front, you will find 5 switches and a lever. In the back is an organ.
You must move the switches and have each tone match the sound and order as
the picture of the piano keys in the book in the library. You can use the
organ in the back to get the sound right. When you think they are right,
pull the lever and click on the screen.
The Trees - Here's an easy one. Rotate the tower to face the house in the
woods then go to the tower. Look at the plaque above the ladder with the
key
and write down the numbered on it. Go to the house in the woods with the
big
tree behind it. Enter it, turn around, and go up to the safe. Press the
buttons until the numbers match the ones you got from the tower. Open the
box, light the match on the side, then go up to the furnace and light the
pilot light in the lower left-hand corner of it. Now turn the red wheel
clockwise until you see it turn 20 times. This should give you plenty of
time. Leave the house, turn around, and go between the two trees on the
right side of the screen. Go right up to the big tree. Wait until you see
something that looks like an elevator in the tree. When you see it, go in
it. There should be a button on the left side of the door. Hold it down
until you can enter the room underground. When you are in the room, turn

around and turn the wheel counterclockwise until it won't turn any more.
Now you can go to the book, open it, and click on the screen.
The Boat - Rotate the tower until it is facing the dock. Go up to the tower
and write down the 3 dates and times on the plaque above the ladder with
the
key on it. Now you need to leave the library and go to the building to left
when you exit the library. It has a chair in the middle of the room. Enter
it, turn around, and press the light switch. Now sit in the chair and look
up at the controls. Enter a date and press the flashing button. Note what
constellation is there. Do this same thing for the other 2 dates. Now go to
the field in front of the library with the ship in the pool. Look at the
boxes on the sides and turn the 3 symbols that match the constellations you
got from the star room green. You should hear water running and then see
the ship in the pool out of the water. Now you can go back to the dock and
go on the ship. Open the door, then take the book, open it, and click on
the
screen.
How to solve each age (You need to only take back a certain color page from
every age. In other words, if you take back the red page from one age, you
need to take a red page from every age and same goes for the blue pages.
You
can take back both if you just want to see what the other has to say)
The Gears - From the large gear, go to the building on the right. Enter it
and take either hallway. No matter which one you take you will pass through
a room and eventually come up to another intersection. Turn so you are
facing down this new hallway. There should be a button on the right side of
this hallway. Press it and go down the stairs. Go up to the panel and push
the lever up. Wait until the symbol on the left side of the lever is one
notch away from the breaks in the circles lining up and the let go. When
the
breaks are lined up, the circles should turn red. Go back up the stairs,
turn around, push the button again, and move forward until you are in the
elevator. Press the up button. When at the top, press the middle button and
quickly leave the elevator. Go up to the controls on top of the elevator.
These controls will rotate the building. You can also use the rotation
simulator in the room that looks like a torture chamber to get the hang of
it. It is to the right when you enter the building or to the right of the
elevator. Push the left lever up all the way then pull it back down. Listen
to the tone that's produced. Now push the lever back up and then the right
lever. You need to hold the right lever until you think the building has
turned enough. Let go of the right lever, wait until the gear stop
spinning,
and pull the left lever down. Again listen to the tone. Make sure it's
different or else you didn't go anywhere. Now push the button in the lower
part of the panel to bring the elevator back up. Go to the bottom and then
leave the building. There are only two other places you must get to. They
each have gear stands that have symbols on them. Write down the place and
shape of the symbols on them. You will need to rotate the tower again until
you can get to the other stand. You need a total of 4 symbols. Now, to get
to the red page, you have to go into the room with the models of the boat,
the spaceship, and the clock tower. Go up to the chair that looks like a
throne. You should see an outline in the wall. Click below the corner of
the
tapestry hanging on the wall. A doorway should open up. Go in there. Go to
the chests in the corner to the left in the back of the room. There should
be a red page in the open chest on the top. To get the blue page, go into
the torture chamber room and go up to the chair with the ax leaning on it.
There should be an indent in the wall with a brown strip in the middle of
it. Click on it and it should open up a doorway. Enter it and go to the
shelves in the back. There should be a blue page on the bottom shelf. To
get
back to Myst island, go back to the large gear and look at the gear panel
with 4 symbols and a red button it. Push the green buttons until the
symbols
match the positions and shapes you found them on the stands on those
islands
and then push the red button. A set of stairs should go down and then you
can pick up the Myst book, go back to the library with a page, and put it
in the matching color book.
The Spaceship - Exit the spaceship and now you will have to wander for a
while. You need to look for 5 stone and wood tables. These each have a red
button and symbols above them. Press the button and make sure the symbols
light up. The symbols you are looking for are water drops, a crack with
heat
coming out of it, the hands of a clock, a symbol that looks like a knife,
and wind blowing out of a tunnel. After you have hit all the buttons, go to
the symbol with the wind. Go down the pipe that's in front of the button.
At
the bottom, you can hit the switch to light the tunnel if you want, but you
need to go down the tunnel and up the pipe. Go up to the tower with the
satellite dishes on it and open the front panel. Look at the controls.
Click
on the water drop symbol and use the right arrow to move the dish to 153.4
degrees. Click on the symbol with the crack and use the right arrow to turn
the dish to 130.3 degrees. Click on the symbol with the clock hands and use
the right arrow to turn the dish to 55.6 degrees. Click on the symbol with
the knife on it and use the right arrow to turn the dish to 15.0 degrees.
Click on the wind symbol and use the left arrow to turn the dish to 212.2
degrees. Now press the button with the funny looking E on it. Listen to and
note what order the sounds are being played in. Next, go back to the door
that you passed in the beginning of this age and go up to the panel on the
right side of the door. There should be a set of 5 switches. Use each
switch
to match the sound and order that everything was played in at the satellite
tower. When everything is matched up, press the button in the corner. Don't
forget a page. The red page is on the shelf with the symbol that looks like
a knife. The blue page is on a table near the switch for the water. Go down
the stairs and push the blue button to enter the transport. F = forward,
L = left, and R = right. As soon as you sit down, hit the forward button.
From there you need to go F,L,L,F,R,R,F,R,R,F,F,R,R,F,F,R,R,F,R,F,R,F,R,F,
R,R,F,L,F,R,F. Then you can exit the transport, go to the Myst book, and
return to the library.
The Trees - First you must turn around and follow the path straight until
you reach the building with the water tank in it. In the building, look
down
at the faucet and turn it so the sound of running water is loud. Go back
down the path and at the first intersection you come to, go left. At the
second intersection, look down at the water flow switch and then you have
to
turn it so the water goes down the pipe to the right, then go right. At the
third and fourth intersections, do the same as you did at the first
intersection. Now go up to the elevator, enter it, close the door, and pull
the lever. F = forward, L = left, R = right. Exit the elevator and then go

Now go up to the lever and pull it. Next, turn right and go
F,R,F,F,R,F,F,R,
F,F,F,F,F,F,R,F,F,F,F. Then go down the stairs, open the door, go to the
water flow switch directly ahead, and turn it so it goes down the direction
you just came from. Now turn around, go back up the stairs, turn around,
and
use the elevator. To get to the blue page, keep going forward, ignore the
first building, go right at the intersection, and then go into the house.
Turn left and look on the floor for the blue page. To get to the red page,
go left from the elevator and then keep going forward to the large house.
Go
up to the desk on the left side of the bed and open the drawer to find the
red page. Go down to the drawers on the bottom of the bed and open the one
on the right. Copy down the note exactly as it is. You will need it later.
Go back to the elevator, go down, then go back down the stairs. Now you
have
to go back to the water flow switch and put it back the way it was. Go down
the path to the right. At the next intersection, change the water flow so
it
goes down the path to the left. Next, go left to the next intersection and
change the flow to go to the right. Go right. Then at the next
intersection,
go left, then forward to another lever. Pull it. Go forward to the
elevator,
turn right, and follow the pipe until you reach the water. Turn the crank
so
the pipe makes a connection on the other side. Go all the way back to the
second water flow switch from the building with the water tank. You need to
change it back again, then follow the flow to the next switch, go right
again,
and at the next switch change it so it goes to the left. Now go back to the
elevator that's after the part where the bridge came out of the water and
use it. Open the door, pick up the Myst book, and click on the screen to
return to the library.
The Boat - Right in the beginning, turn left and go to the table out in the
water. Click on the bell-shaped object on the right side. This should have
drained the lighthouse. Go back to the ship and then into the lighthouse.
Look down, and go to the bottom of the stairs. Get close to the chest and
click on the little lever on the bottom of it on the left side. Water
should
drain from it. Click on it again when it's done. Go back up, then go to the
table out in the water again, and click on the bell in the middle. This
should have drained the tunnels underground, but don't go there yet. Go
back
to the lighthouse and look down at the chest floating in the water. Click
on
the key chained to the boards to open it. Take the key from the chest,
click
on the ladder, and use the key on the lock that's keeping that door shut.
Go up the ladder and turn around. Turn the crank attached to the floor
until
the batteries are charged completely. You can click on them to see how much
power they have. They are on the right side of the crank. When they are
full, go back to the ship where you started and go in the tunnel in front
of
you. Go to the bottom, turn around, and click up the stairs once. Look at
the bottom of the archway. You should see a slight line about in the middle
of it. Click below it and a panel should open up. Go in it and follow the
hallway until you see a round object on the floor. Look down at it. You
need
to push the right button that will turn on the underwater lamps. Imagine
the
object is a compass and the crown symbol points north. You need to press
the
button that is diagonal from the red arrow pointing southeast. You'll know
you hit the right button if the lights don't go out and an alarm doesn't
go off. If you did hit the wrong button, just go back to the lighthouse,
charge up the batteries, and try again. Now you need to know where the
pages
are here. Go to the bottom of the tunnel you were in before you went
through
the panel, push the button to open the door, and walk in the room. You
should be in a nicely decorated room. Turn left, go toward the dresser, and
open the bottom drawer to find the red page. The blue page is down the
tunnel on the other half of the ship. Go over the stairs from the first
half
and turn left to find the tunnel. Open the door and go in. There should be
a rib cage hanging on the wall in front of you. Turn left and look on the
bed to find the blue page. While in that room, turn around, go up to the
dresser, and open the second to last drawer to find the other half of the
note. Piece the two halves together because they are very important to the
end of the game. Now, with whatever page you want, the batteries charged,
and underwater lamps on, go to that table out in the water and push the
bell
on the left. Now go back on the ship, turn right, go down the stairs, open
the door, and go to the bottom of the ship. Look down at the table and
click
on it to reveal the Myst book. Open it and click on the screen to return to
the library.
Finishing The Game
Myst Island - In the library, listen to whoever you have gotten the most
pages for (5 red and/or blue pages) to find out which book you must read
and
what pattern to use in the fireplace. Read the book they tell you to look
at, copy the pattern, go in the fireplace, and push the button. You must
copy the pattern exactly as it was in the book. When you think it is right,
push the red button. If you are wrong, the lights will go off and the door
will open. Just push the button and try again. If you are right, the
fireplace will turn around and you will see the two pages and green book
they spoke of. Ignore their warnings of not touching the green book and
open
it. You finally see that Atrius is alive. And in case you've been wondering
which of the two brothers to set free, you find out that both of them were
involved with trapping him in Dunny and had an extreme lust for the
treasures that they could have gotten from the books. You also find out
what
he needs to stop them. That's what is in the island vault. Click on the red
button twice to get out of there. Find the vault by using the information
on
the two halves of the note. When you have the page he needs, go back to the
green book, open it, and click on the screen. Make sure you have a white
page in your possession or you will be stuck in Dunny forever. (Also, the
only other 2 ways you can lose, is if you free either Sirus or Ackinar. You
will end up trapped in the book and they will laugh at you and tear out all
the pages you took so much time collecting until you see nothing but
static)
Dunny - Turn left when you get there and go up to Atrius. When he asks for
the page, click it on him. When he returns to Myst, wander around for about
half a minute and then go back to his desk. He should return then. If not,
just wander some more. Just listen to what he has to say and that's it,
you've won. He gives hints about a second Myst game, and lets you use his
Myst book to go back to Myst island. You can now go to any age that you
want to. By the way, in case you hadn't noticed, you won't have to worry
about those two brothers any more. Also, the music that plays when you quit
is different. Have fun exploring the different ages.

Hello Anderson, have you played "Lawnmower Man"? I have played it and
have seen it reviewed nationally and they say, and I too say, it is not
worth it. It doesn't take advantage of being a CD by showing very poor
video and only having 16 colors. But if you played it and like it never-

Joe I found the problem to be in the win ini file. there was a missing
semicolin in the toolbook line of the win ini. the rep for the Family
Doctor said for some reason if you have natonal parks loaded when you
load Family Doctor It allways does this. Thanks for the info I will
keep the batch file on hard copy, It just may solve a problem down the
line. Thanks again Joe.

Simple, it's too big to fit onto one. Actually, the game does ask
you to install disc #2 when you are about to go up to the attic. The
last puzzle and the credits that follow are on that disc.
Since there was a lot of space left on disc #2, they also included
all of the original music scores that were used throughout the game. To
listed to these, just put this disk into any audio CD player, and play
track #2. It will play all of the songs in a row (around 13 of them?).

Hello Andy, there is absolutely no problem with the drive. I have the
exact same drive so I know. The drive (mitsumi) has about a 5 second
latency to pick up the disk and tell the cpu it has a disk.
The only solution for your problem is to just wait 5 or so seconds
before you try to access the drive.

I have a ticklish problem and I would appreciate any advice.
I am running a 486 with a DX 2 chip in Windows 3.11. although occasionally i
have gotten General Protection Fault messages while running Word Perfect, they
were not a major problem until I atempted to load and run the new STAR TREK
interactive technical manual
After the title screen starts up and the program indicated it has made links
and is ready to run, the system flashes me the following message:
NEW3FC3A
General Protection Aault in module CXITLV.DRV at 0001:23A1
My sons less powerful Pacard Bell 486SX has no problem running the program.
I do have a scanner in the system but this shouldn't be a problem.
How do I get around this problem?
Your assistance will be greatly apprecited.

Saw your message about MYST hanging up and thought I would drop in and
say I'm having trouble too with MYST. What gets me is origionally
when I first got it, Myst worked fine. Now when I click on to
the picture to open the passage to the tower, Myst hangs up,
Gives me the error : Can't read Drive D: then I get a General
Protection Fault. Have you had any success in finding a solution
to your problem?

I just purchased a Mitsumi FX001D CD-Rom drive. I also purchased
(separately) a Galaxy Pro NX 16 sound-card to operate the CD-Rom. But
the Galaxy support department said that the card doesn't work properly
with a FX001D, only with some older model. So I'm stuck using the
interface card that came with the CD-Rom and only using the audio-in
connector on the Galaxy card.
Is there a sound-card that I can purchase (new or used) which will
work properly/support with my Mitsumi drive? Any information would be
most appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, Dan!!
It's me! Remember? From Brazil!
First i'd like to thank you because i received your catalog and i
LOVED the prices...
Second, here's a little list of titles i'd like to get:
THE SEVENTH GUEST 2 - THE 11TH HOUR
COMANCHE MAXIMUM OVERKILL
UNDER A KILLING MOON (From Access Software, not DEMO!!)
Now, i'd like to know how can i buy CD'S with you.
Can you mail the CD'S to my address here, in Brazil?
Do you accept credit card? VISA?
I saw your fax number on the catalog. We could do the following:
I could send you a message containing the titles that i'm
interested at, and you reply me with the corresponding prices.
After, i could send you a fax with the titles i want and my
father's credit card number, if you accept... The credit card is an
international one.
So, thanks very much for your interest and reply me with these
answers, because i really got interested.
Bye! Antonio Calomeni

Mike,
I always thought of you as an honest and ethical businessman. But your
continued messages like the above, trying to horn in on private transactions
and trades, is beginning to get me ticked off. I don't "need" to sell
my copy of Forbidden Subjects, but I certainly don't get the opportunity
to do so because of your private mail interjections.
Why don't you just stick with a general advertising, and specific responses
to questions directed to you rather than trying to horn in on other people's
business?
Pissed,

Hi All!
Anyone out there who got the Fido-Node Number of Profit Press, USA.
(The distributor for : FAO 1 - 3, FAO Gold 1 - 3 etc.)
They've got a bug in the newest Version of MegaDoor for BBS's. If a user view's
a ZIP file and tries to read a text file from within, the message : File Access
denied returns. This happens, because they don't set the Filemode:=Readonly
when they try to read out the file. (That's what I'm thinking.. - Maybe this
just happens, because I'm running SCSI Express for NW 3.12. (Detected the same
Bugs in other programs.) I ran Novell Lite before and it worked without any
problem.)

Well firstly I don't run windows. (Thank GOD!!) For this reason, it rules out
approximately all of the programs that come with the sound card.
Looks like I will just have to do a little more searching..
If you find something, please let me know, will you?

I've got Lost In Time on CDROM and have made it to the part where you

my problem is I've tried every thing I can think of and the only thing
that comes close to working is puting the cork in the hole of the boat
but it's to small.
I guess I either have to some how swell the cork or find another way,
but I can't think of anything else to try !
Please help........ This is my last hope, or I'll be..... `LOST IN TIME'
Thanks in advance,

G'day Gene,
GR> Does anyone know why the 602x would sometimes seem like it locked up and
GR> other times its real fast?
This is not one of the several hassles I've had with mine, luckily. Using
the Pioneer drivers in combo with 6.2 SmartDrv, performance is very smooth
indeed.
GR> Could this be because of my SCSI controller I am using is not a SCSI-II??
:) Personally, with the amount of luck I've had with SCSI-II, I'd be
loathe to recomend it as a solution.
By the sounds of it, your system seems to be searching the SCSI bus for
extra devices before copying the file. Make sure that you have the ID set
correctly on the back, and (of course) turn the Active Termination off,
unless you like going GaGa hunting down the source of file corruptions.
It may also be that your SCSI-I controller demands that you use termination
blocks on the 602x drive.
Try using an ASPI Interface driver, if your controller came with one. See
if it supports a "LastUnit" option, and set the Pioneer ID to that.
GR> I have a SCSI-II controller that I will be hooking it up to but I have to
GR> get a cable for it first..
???HUH??? What's wrong with the cable you're using now?

Hi Ed!
03 Nov 94, Edward Wong writes to Steve Mann:
EW> What is the latest , or most comprehensive shareware CD that you have?
In this market that's like asking 'How long is a piece of string". Most of the
current versions of the well known shareware CD's have a good selection of
files. I think you would be happy with any of the following:
Night Owl 13
Shareware Studio 5 (or even 4)
Software Vault Ruby
Pier 5
Cream of the Crop 4 (but only if you are putting it on a BBS)
Personally I'd steer clear of:
PC-SIG 13 (or any of them). Though these do have their fans.
a couple of others that I won't mention to avoid flames.
The above list is not meant to be an exhaustive list of the good ones but
having tested many personally these are the ones I've selected for our company
to stock. This list does not include the for specific shareware titles like
CICA Windows, Hobbes OS/2 etc.
Bear in mind also that Night Owl 14 is probably coming out in the next few
weeks. Pier 7 is also coming soon.
Hope this helps (and yes we have all of the above in stock - just a short plug
here).

Have you ever thought that so many people use Windows that the
authors of the type of software you are after have decided not
to bother with non-Windows users? Maybe you should have another
look at Windows, as many of us are happily enjoying the benefits
you are searching for. Sometimes it pays to revisit decisions...

Laurie, it wasn't me that was trying to do it, but nevertheless what you are
saying isn't right. What the creative drive does, is simply play the audio
track on the cd, and you then record it with the DAC on the soundcard, with a
resulting loss of quality, unless you are using a real whizz bang sound card.
What we were talking about, is READING the RAW cd audio data off a CD audio
disk and saving it to disk. Note this process does NOT involve sampling with
the soundcard, and like I was saying, the only drive that I know of that has
the capability is the Toshiba SCSI drive.

Well, I think double-spin CD's isn't something to buy at the moment. The prices
will fall when the christmas-shopping starts. A good quad-speed drive will do
good. A 4xPro (NEC) perhaps. Reliable performance and compability. I heard it
was able to read Philips CD-i disc too...

I've had video problems with QEMM since version 6.x, with or without
Stealth and NV. I've cured them by excluding varying amounts of video seg-
ments, especially B100-BFFF. QEMM v7.5 is available from Quarterdeck for
$29.95 plus S&H (about $35 total).

"Bruce Meyer!" blurted Gordon, "Have you heard about Mitsumi and DMA Prob.?"
GM> Hmm.. I had bad problems with lock-ups and slow-downs when I had my
GM> Mitsumi configured for DMA, so I am using the IRQ driver instead.
GM> The drive is on IRQ 10. Eversince I set it that way, I've had no
GM> problems and it runs fast (according to some benchmark prgms.)... The
GM> drive I am using is MTMCDAE.SYS
GM> My system config is:
GM> Sound Blaster 16 using IRQ 5, and DMA's 1 and 7
GM> My CD-Rom drive line:
GM> DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\MTMCDAE.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:300 /A:0 /M:64 /T:5 /I:10 /X
That sounds pretty similar to my configuration. However, my
FX-001D came with two drivers. The MTMCDAS driver is supposed to
be the non-DMA version, while MTMCDAE is supposed to use DMA. The
only place I notice a big difference is with some Windows
applications. M.Y.S.T., in particular, runs terribly with MTMCDAE,
but runs better with MTMCDAS installed on my system. I've given up
on M.Y.S.T. and have gone back to MTMCDAE for the better
performance and use of Extended Memory that it allows. (I have
over 630,000 bytes of conventional RAM free, even with EMS and the
CDROM driver loaded).

Steve Mann wrote in a message to Edward Wong:
SM Cream of the Crop 4 (but only if you are putting it on a BBS)
I would be VERY interested in finding out why Cream of the Crop
is only suitable for putting on a BBS?
What factors make the best cd?
Up-to-date?
Cream of the Crop is the only shareware cd that has beat the
last three volumes of Night Owl in the area of the average file
dates... Cream 3 had an average file date 20 days better than
N.O. 12, Cream 4 had an average file date 1 day better than
N.O. 13 even though they went to press on the same day. Cream 5
has an average file date of August 10... we don't know what N.O.
14 will turn out to be. Both N.O. and Cream beat the average
file dates of Pier, and Software Vault by 1 or 2 months. Monster
Media is the ONLY shareware cd that is close in terms of the
average file dates.
Dupe rate?
Some of the stats: Note: Monster 2 is Monster Media 94 vol. 2
and Ruby is Shareware Vault Ruby
Cream Monster Owl Pier Ruby
Cream 4 1 810 707 660 784
Monster 2 810 2 937 844 811
Owl 13 707 973 0 1393 1043
Pier 5 660 844 1393 0 1236
Ruby 784 811 1043 1236 6
Notice that N.O. 13 (came out a few weeks after) Pier 5 had
nearly 1400 of the same files. N.O. 13 had 3608 files that is
nearly a %40 dupe rate with Pier 5.
Also note that the disc with the highest dupe rate with Cream 4
was the Monster Media disc that came out 2 months after Cream 4.
Monster Media had 4,000 files... about %20 of the files you
could have had 2 months earlier if you had Cream 4.
Since dupe checking has been done on the Cream of the Crop
series there has not been a shareware cd on the market at the
time Cream was released that had more than 500 files in common.
Cream 5 has less than 200 dupes with all other known cd's except
Monster Media which has 480 files in common.
The front end engine for file view and retrieval?
Cream of the Crop has the only front end program that runs
ENTIRELY on the cd and loads the listings into memory for
instant responses when searching for file names and key words.
No setup is required... which saves time and wasted disc space.
Also, this system prevents conflict between different volumes of
the Cream series. The front end on other cd's not only depend on
your hard drive BUT they also use the same directory name on
your hard drive... thus a new version will overwrite the last
and if you want to review an older version of the series you
have to do a reinstall all over.
Quality of the files on the cd?
One man's trash is another man's treasure...
There are two ways to make a shareware cd... 1. put every file
you can find on it... 2. be selective.... this option has a
difficulty factor of 9.9 because you can easily go through
10,000 + files before you find 3,000 that escape the following
eliminations:
A. Don't overload the cd with files that are only valuable to a
VERY small percentage of Sysops that run Pcboard.
B. Don't waste space for a ton of programs for categories that
very few people are interested in... like Ham Radio... in 5
years of running a bbs (and lately with 16 cd rom drives) I have
NEVER had a user download a Ham Radio program.
C. Don't waste space with tons of icons, clipart, gifs, fonts,
fonts, fonts, more fonts and true type fonts! How many more do
we need?
This critique is not meant to bash any shareware cd rom publisher.
If any new shareware cd comes out with even 500 good programs that
I don't already have I'll gladly pay $20 to $25 to get it. I'll
continue to purchase every Night Owl, Pier, Shareware Vault and
definitely Monster Media (the second best cd IMHO) that is
released.

CD-ROM Review: CD-ROM of CD-ROMs
by John Husvar
jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu
Any CD-ROM whose help files begin with The Phrase, "It's not as bad as
it looks!," might be a little scary at first glance. Those of us who
aren't database gurus might shy away. That would be a mistake in this
case.
The CD-ROM of CD-ROMs, Issue 1, Fall 1993, starts up with a pretty
scene, a nice little music clip and a row of buttons down the right
side; and that's it. I sat there looking at it for a few seconds,
wondering where-do-I-go-from-here? With an uncharacteristic burst of
common sense and reason, I clicked "Help." That's where I found The
Phrase!
So I read it. Since I avoid reading manuals like I avoid rabid
animals, that was definitely uncharacteristic.
It really isn't as bad as it looks. My Autonomic Nervous System always
puts that phrase in my Famous-Last-Words file but, this time it missed
the boat. Resource International Publishing has come up with a kind of
Help File for CD buyers. I went from abject terror to using it to help
research my own reviews in a matter of minutes, more than a few
minutes, but minutes, not hours.
It could be much nicer, though. Even though it turns out to be a very
useful item, the interface is off-putting at first. A more intuitive
interface would help us database-impaired users quite a bit.
Installation is a snap in Windows. All Install does is create a
Program Group and Icon and ask you if you want the Surprise Bonus
(Whoopee!) program, PC Karaoke. I was a bit put off when I used Setup
as my first step. It automatically loads PC Karaoke. I'd rather the
program asked in either program. Install and Setup are synonymous to
some of us and I just might not want anything else on my HD. I mean, I
need a Karaoke program about as much as the Metropolitan Opera needs a
frog to sing Pagliacci.
System requirements are minimal, 286, 2 MB RAM,VGA, Windows 3.1. To
see everything, though, 386, 4MB RAM, SVGA, Windows 3.1, and a sound
card will enable seeing the screen snapshots and hearing the sound
clips provided. No Hard Disc Drive is needed. Everything runs from the
CD itself.
Startup reveals one of several nice pictorial screens and a short
musical clip. Six buttons in three groups grace the right side: Help
and Information at top, CD-ROMS, Businesses, and Who's Who in the
middle and Exit at bottom. Each yields its own dialog box with its own
Help button.
The Help button is most important for first-timers. The Phrase is
there along with good information on getting started, all in Windows'
usual Help format.
The Information button yields helps on subscribing to the CD-of-CDs,
(CoC) the pictures, how to get reprints, how to Feedback bug reports,
etc., Credits, and an About box with Address, Phone number, etc. for
Resource International.
The real heart and soul of CoC are under the next three buttons:
CD-ROMS contains the main database and search engine. Pressing it
reveals a dialog box with search categories, and the criterion box. It
has its own help button to help you set up a search. Search Areas
include: Title, Price, Category, Date, Description, Platforms,
Publisher, and Reviewers. you can set up a search in any one area or a
combination of areas. Wildcards are supported, actually encouraged.
Select Search Areas in the "Look in:" box with the usual Windows
click-on, click-off procedure. Mark choices for matching criteria if
you use no wildcards. Once that's done, click OK and another box
appears for selecting whether this is a continuation of a search, a
new search, or whether you want to use Boolean Operators. The
program will shortly produce a list of items that match all these
criteria, if any. If it finds no matches, it shows a list of
suggestions on how to set up a more productive search.
BUSINESS is the database of publishers, etc., addresses, phone
numbers, even CompuServ addresses if any. It and Who's Who operate the
same as CD-ROMS.
Who's Who contains names of people in the CD business with the same
Search Areas as Business.
Any of these database areas can be searched with combinations of
criteria, search areas, etc. The instructions teach how to use
consecutively narrow searches to bracket in on an unknown or partially
known item.
Once you find your listing, CoC includes reviews of many of the CDs
listed. Being able to read opinion pieces about products before buying
is unusual. Resource International may be aiming at becoming the
Consumer Reports of the CD-ROM scene. That has to be a help for
potential buyers.
And, of course, Exit: Bail-out, Lemme outta here!, Hasta la Bye-bye.
Self-explanatory.
Overall, I've found CoC to be useful, even in writing reviews. Now
that I've learned how to use it, I can check publishers to see what
else they've released, read others' reviews, find CD's I'd like to
review, and just browse if the mood takes me. It's a powerful tool
and, like all powerful tools, requires a little learning to use
effectively.
I'd like a little simpler interface at start-up. I think Resource
International should provide a startup pointer to The Phrase right out
front, just for those among us who don't use database programs often
or have the illusion the "HELP" button is wimp-bait. As a customer
tool I think a very little improvement to the user interface would
make this hard to beat. As a Civil War General once said, "You have to
get there firstest with the mostest." I hope Resource International,
or someone, does so. Resource International, at least, has some troops
in the field.
Just so long as I don't have to do the data entry.

CD-ROM Review: Walnut Creek's "CICA for Windows"
by John Husvar
jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu
The Center for Innovative Computing Applications, eh? Hmmmm. Well,
they're that. Innovative, that is. 613 point <mumblemumble> Megs worth
so far. Pushing the heck out of 614 and it's all Windows freeware and
shareware with bug fixes, patches and quite a lot of Microsoft's
development and historical information thrown in. It's worth reading
some of that just for the historical insights. Not to mention all the
discussions they recorded from various on-line forums. Those folks at
Indiana apparently love playing with Windows and, from taking a look
at their public directories, just about everything else. I don't doubt
Walnut Creek will be publishing another edition sometime soon. There
was a file in CICA's \win3 directory labeled "last100uploads."
Somebody out there is writing a lot of Windows applications.
Incidentally, Walnut Creek notes that this CD was made with the
permission but not the endorsement of CICA and that no public funds
were used in producing it.
But this is about CICA for Windows. Walnut Creek CDROM has collected
it all as of November, 1993. There is enough on this disc, in my
not-so humble opinion, to keep the most dyed-in-the-wool Windows
junkie happy for a very long time. I don't doubt more than 3000 files
could keep one busy.
The only problem I see is my usual one with collections like this. If
I let myself go I'd be bankrupt in about...oh...2, maybe 3, hours. I'm
a firm believer in the shareware concept. If I'm not satisfied with
the product after a week or two playing with it, I delete it. If I am
satisfied, it's only fair to send the programmer a check. Otherwise,
send the software to the bit-bucket, or pass it along to someone who
might like it better and register it. After all, whoever made the
thing put some effort into it.
Just about everything one could want or need for Windows or Windows NT
is here. There are icon files, mouse drivers and cursor modifiers,
games, image viewers and manipulators, screen savers and modules,
typing tutors, macros for word processors, sounds, pictures,
compilers, program development information, collections of Windows
Journal and other publications, utilities, and who knows what all
else? Walnut Creek must just say, "Write 'em all! Let God and our
customers sort 'em out."
I like that attitude and I like this CD.
There's a section for BBS operators, too. That, I presume, even
further encourages wide distribution of shareware.
The interface is skeletal but worked just fine for me, load the disc,
type "go" and it sets up a CICA directory on your HD, from then on all
that's necessary is to run VIEW.EXE from File Manager. Selection is by
arrow key and <return> which brings up a dialog screen to confirm
unzip and the directory for the uncompressed files. The README file
contains good instructions for setting up the results to run under
Windows. I wondered why a CD of Windows software doesn't have a
Windows interface but, in a way, that makes sense. Why use up space
for an interface when the object is to store software? Windows
programs tend to run large and the space is better used for programs.
The directory structure, though, appears pretty well thought out. It's
not like a department store with all the screen savers here and all
the GIF files there, but, with the effort of taking a note or two,
finding things isn't difficult. There are a few duplications but very
few that I noticed.

CD-ROM Review: InfoMagic "CICA-Windows"
by John Husvar
jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu
NOTE: This a corrected posting of the review. The initial review had
an error and it was posted before the error was caught.
"Open a Window, somebody!" is one of the first things I thought when
I looked at shareware CDs. InfoMagic has thrown up the sash but it's a
bit of a Good News/ Bad News situation.
First, the Good News:
Many publishers of large collections of shareware, information files,
and the like seem to treat the CD-ROM as just another disc drive. They
collect programs and text files, burn a CD and ship it, leaving users
to treat it as just that, a huge disc with one heck of a pile of
directories and compressed files. Few seem to concern themselves with
the user interface.
The first notable exception I saw was Night Owl's three-way interface
with its straight DOS reader, nice DOS-based GUI, and a Windows GUI
that, while it surely works well enough, presents users with rather
small, black-type-on-grey, windows. I'm sure it's not the only
shareware CD with an attempt at a sharper interface but, until now, it
was the only one I'd seen.
InfoMagic, on the other hand, has opened the window wide. There are a
few problems, none so bad as to make me want to abandon the CD, but
noticeable problems. Most noticeable, though, for an ordinary user
like me, is that everything is readable through a front end that
should become a standard style. It's a Windows interface appropriate
to a Windows shareware CD.
It's big, open, and intuitive to even a slightly experienced Windows
user. It really looks a lot like a Windows Help file and works much
the same way. It probably should since it uses MicroSoft's Multimedia
Viewer according to the "About..." under the Help menu. At startup,
you get a half-screen-sized list of directories. Sliding the mouse
cursor over them, you notice it turn into the familiar Windows hand as
it passes over each directory name. Click and that file list appears
in another half-screen window> . Slide the cursor over the filenames
and the hand invites you to select. A click opens a Windows-style
dialog box with file list boxes for documentation and executable files
and options to View Documentation Files, Run Executables, Install...,
or close the window. If your selection contains text or document files
only, the window shows a Copy files button instead of Run Executable
Files.Both windows at the Directory select and File selection levels
expand to full-screen.
Unusual in itself is that all the files are uncompressed and most
will run directly from the CD; no need to copy, uncompress, install,
and then try in the usual shareware procedure. That's in most cases;
not every program will run that way but most I tried did. This little
trick adds a new dimension to the try-before-you-buy shareware
concept.The trying is easier. Because everything is uncompressed,
InfoMagic CICA Windows comes on two discs.
Now for the Bad News:
The folks at InfoMagic created a custom .DLL file for their new CD.
Unfortunately it doesn't recognize that you have complied when it
tells you to change discs. You can get out of the problem by
addressing the CD-ROM drive via File Manager. After that, everything
works fine again. Chatting with Kim Goldberger and Ken Burger at
InfoMagic, I found there is a patch available by FTP at
boris.infomagic.com. I surmised from that same conversation that
InfoMagic will supply it for those lacking FTP access. I coul> d be
wrong about that so it would be best to call and ask.
Another problem surfaced during my uninhibited play with the CD.
Large, multi-file text collections somehow were listed in the Program
Select window as separate directories for each part. That turned out
to be a glitch in the front-end build program InfoMagic used to build
their listings. It apparently failed to distinguish adequately between
file names within a directory at CICA and separate directories. What
should have happened was one directory (for example, BIBLE20) should
appear with a large number > of files. Instead, it shows as several
separate choices and the dialog boxes show no files in the directory.
The files are all there and can be copied via File Manager but they
don't show up correctly on the selection listing.
And another thing... When you select a program, the options window
doesn't always display all the files associated with your selection.
I'd be happier with a complete listing of all the files that go with a
given selection. As it is, you get some files listed with extensions
of .TXT, .DOC, .WRI, and .EXE but a "Total files in directory" box
with a big 20 or whatever in it. Files with .CRD or some other
extensions don't appear. Especially when I select a program, I can't
help but wonder just what those othe> r 10 or 15 or 17 files are and
what they might do to my WIN.INI or other control files. That's an
occupational hazard of trying shareware, I guess, but I'd like to know
just what's in there before I click Install or Run Executable. I've
spent too many hours de-installing programs and searching for whatever
vile alterations they inflicted on my control and configuration files
to accept another program blindly ever again.
When I selected file BW2-31-2, a Best of Windows Shareware selection
in the MISC directory with a .TXT and a .WRI file, trying to read the
.WRI file locked up Windows Write and it took a CTRL-ALT-DELETE to get
out. Ironically, the .TXT file was a note about how bugs in the .WRI
file had just been fixed. OOPS! That's probably not InfoMagic's fault
but it gave me a chuckle.
Shareware providers would do a great service by including a warning
of impending control file changes upon a user's first starting
installation as well as in the, often ignored, README files. InfoMagic
and their colleagues would do another by including some sort of .INI
file protection on their CDs.
Those small problems don't, in my mind, outweigh this CD's being a
very nice first effort at building a better interface for the genre.
The problems should be cured by the next release and they don't
prevent using the CD or the shareware at all. The small inconvenience
of having to revert to the old way of copying big text files doesn't
really overshadow InfoMagic's improved interface or the convenience of
having all uncompressed files.

CICA Windows CD-ROM
(November 1992 Edition)
Reviewed by Tony Thomas
The new CICA Windows disc is a welcome surprise because it is quite an
improvement over the old version. First of all, one of my complaints
about the last version was that there was a lot of free space on the
disc.
On the new disc, this space is effectively utilized by providing
zipped *and* unzipped versions of each program (in their own
subdirectories). This eliminates the need to copy and unzip programs
to try them--a tedious process in Windows! Also on this disc is a new
Windows NT directory. Although it doesn't contain much (mostly
zip/unzip utilities and the like), it is a nice addition since NT is
only in beta release.
Those who reveled in the infamous CICA "shareware" font library on the
last version will find it to be pared down considerably. It has been
determined that many of the fonts once there were pirated and
converted copies of copyrighted fonts and thus illegally posted.
Two lingering critiques: I wish that the DESKTOP and UTILITIES
directories were divided into subdirectories by category. That would
make finding various types of programs much easier. This disc also
contains the VIEW.EXE program which I feel could be improved upon.
Windows users will find the CICA collection to be an invaluable "must
have" resource.
I give it:

Most of the units will allow you to play audio without any software

You on the right track, Hook up your NEC210 to your SCSI cable
and unterminate the unit, if you turn the unit over, there you'll
see 3 register in a row about 1'' long plug in, could be RED, BLUE
or GREY, unplug them, very carefully, after discharging yourself
of all the static, and keep'em in a safe place, not so safe that
you forget where you put them when you need them, like I always do.
however, normally the SCSI host adaptor is the one that is terminate
being the last unit on the link, you HD's are unit "0" and unit '1',
configure the CDROM with the address pins to be your next unit, 2 or 3
whatever the case maybe, hook up your audio cable and ofcourse the
power supply, load your drivers for the CDROM and MSCDEX.sys and
fire away to see what happens.....

Just a thought, How about (Providing the DMA chips aren't SMT's) If I get some
new DMA chips, and install them. Are their other things I need to replace, or
might this be a cheaper avenue. If so, What brand do you recommend. (Do you

Your description of DMA was quite informative. I never knew that's how it

Check out the ads on your local BBS in any CD-ROM Conference. I should
of kept a copy of that guys add, any way he had 4X (Toshiba for $328)
and 2x Drives from $135-$189 depending on CACHE size, Connection type.
I realize you want to spend about $200 - I say HOLD OUT till after the
CHRISTMAS DROP. NEC is unveiling it's NEW 6Xi (Yes 6X SPEED). By then
the QUADS well be slightly above $200 but well worth the wait and extra
change (So save up another $80 by then). You might as well get the new
standard in MPC, is's about to change, actually has already but no one
cares until they can't RUN this or that.
1. Double Speed (2x) CD-Rom o.k. But Quad (4x) Recommended
2. MPC II Compliant Sound Card - With SCSI II Support Recommended
3. SVGA with 16K colors in 800x640
4. 15" Auto Sensing Multisync (most new Monitors are anyway)
naturally the CD-ROM Should Support Multisessions and be Kodak Photo
compatible. All SCSI Units adaptable, Proprietary (AT type) are not.
My local COMP USA and BEST BUY had some great deals, Be very Careful
what you buy, in a month it might not be enough to support the newer
CD-ROMs. Example : Monty Pythons Journey CD-ROM requires -
1. 486 sx/dx 33Mhz or faster, 2X CD-Rom, MPC Sound Card . . .
I personally was given a 1X and that's about what it's worth. I'm
gonna wait out Christmas and get a QUAD when they Drop like Rocks.
Also CYREX, and AMD are goona release their PENTIUM Clones, so look
for the 586 (pentium) market to Drop. Good luck . . . .

I bought it and I thought it sucked too. But it is a cool program if you

new AWE32 card. If you're interested in the SB16, check carefully and
make sure you get the Multi-CD model (there are several models).
I have the SB16 (SCSI model), and have been quite pleased with it.

I needed some information. I own a Phillips CDD521 Upgraded recorder. We do

for my own use. We currently use EZ CD Pro for all our data projects.. Today I
decided to see what was involved in copying audio tracks of a actual CD.
Evedently I need a way to store these traccks to Hdisk or I need a different

I had problems until I got the Sound Blaster SB-16 MultiCD package. Now
everything works great. The SB-16 MCD sound board has built-in
controllers for Creative Labs, Mitsumi and Sony CD drives. You don't
have to worry about conflicts between the sound and CD controller
because it's integrated on one board. Just be sure you use the 4-pin
audio cable that comes in the package, and not the one that comes with
the Mitsumi. For some reason, pin assignments are not the same from
board-to-board, and it will drive you crazy trying to figure out why you
don't get the music you should get.

After you see him through the hole-in-the-wall, you must go to that room and

Rod,
Well, what you see above with your initials RD> is what I got in it's
entirety, except of course for the RD>,
NEC makes good drives. I'm sure for that price you are getting one of
their OEM models. i.e. NEC manufactures it to other's specifications
(most probably exactly like theirs) but sells it unlabeled, and does not
support any warranty on it. The person you buy it from is responsible for
any warranty work. BUT, it is sold quite a bit cheaper than the one with
the NEC sticker on it.
I almost bought and NEC 3x but found out the above, and since I was buying
it as a bare drive to install myself, from a very small shop, I decided
not to go that way. Gateway is a big reputable firm and should be no
problem though. I ended up with a Chinon 535 for my drive.
Just make sure what you are buying is a double speed drive. Really need
that to run any of today's stuff. If you are just copying files, it
really doesn't matter.

I recently adquired a Sony 1x cd-rom drive (internal) and a Magnavox 1x
cd-rom drive (external) and need to get a hold of their respective
BBS's for jumper settings/software updates.
I have a Sony CDU-510 internal and a Magnavox CDD-461 external. If
anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
The problem I am having is the sony drive keeps locking up when the
system trys to load the Lantastic NDIS driver. Without that Sony
driver loaded the system works fine.
I run lan 60 under Qemm v7.5.

software polling? could you elaborate on the command line parameters in
the config & autoexec files, cause I got a mitsumi and its giving me
problems too....I tried v2.30 of their drivers and it only seems to
make the problem worse. v2.10 seems more stable.

I think I just got the same drive you did. I use SONY_CDU.SYS straight
from Sony BBS. Their BBS # is (408)-955-5107.
I have some command line parameters from my config.sys file for the
drive....
Config.sys;
DEVICE=C:\CDROM\SONY_CDU.SYS /D:MSCD001 /U:1 /B:340 /M:P /Q:* /T:*
Its set at Hex 340
No IRQ
It polls (whatever thatis)
hope this helps
don't forget the autoexec.bat either...

You on the right track, Hook up your NEC210 to your SCSI cable
and unterminate the unit, if you turn the unit over, there you'll
see 3 register in a row about 1'' long plug in, could be RED,
BLUE or GREY, unplug them, very carefully, after discharging
yourself of all the static, and keep'em in a safe place, not so
safe that you forget where you put them when you need them, like
I always do. however, normally the SCSI host adaptor is the one
that is terminate being the last unit on the link, you HD's are
unit "0" and unit '1',
Peter:
Thanks for the reply! The terminators that you describe are what I
have been looking for.... but haven't taken the cover off yet! I guess
that they must be under the cover as they sure aren't visible otherwise!
Don't really like taking covers off of things... but I guess I'll have to
break down and "just do it"! Thanks again for the reply!

Yea the Discovery SB16 kit is pretty good.. that's what i bought for my
IBM.. the new motherboard will make a BIG difference! I went from a 386sx 40
to a 486sx 33 and you can definetly notice the difference! Sound blaster is
probably the best low cost sound board.. the sounds are 150% better that the
IBM PC Speaker!! One thing though.. hope you like windows! ALOT of good
CD-ROMs need windows! (personally i HATE windows but...) well right now i am
working on making my CD-ROM external so i can hook it up to both my IBM and
Amiga.. so i can start buying CDs for my AMIGA!

I am too I have never owned a sound card or CDROM and the prices of them

Ken, if you have anything that you may require concerning Medical Needs,
it is worth having, it may take a few minutes to learn your way around
but it is worth it. I have Diabetes, and have a Sisterinlaw who has
Cancer of the Liver. And it tells us what we can expect in both
instances. Worth the Price.

Hello All!
Late one Saturday afternoon, I sat by the keyboard, closed my eyes and tampered
away. This is what came out of it:
I have recently read an american computer mag. and came across an advert
telling about a game called "Noctopolis" Unfortunately the ad didn't tell very
much about the game, so if any of you people out there knows something about it
I would really appreciate some info in the subj.
What's the game about, and how much does it cost.
Rgds.

Yes, the upgrade on floppy is out for the original, but I know someone
that has it and it's a real pain to install. You have to remove FBPRO
from your HD, then reinstall it, then install the upgrade, then run the
upgrade patch. It takes over an hour just to install.

CD-ROM Review: Terry Blount's "Cream of the Crop III"
by John Husvar
jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu
Rating: ***
Category: CD-ROM Shareware Collection
System Requirements: No manual came with this one, but I'll assume 286
or better, Hard Disc, CD-ROM Drive, (of course)
These people have to be stopped, all of them! They're a clear and
present danger! How could it be legal to tempt me so? They're taking
advantage, I tell you, taking advantage of my natural human weaknesses
with their inexpensive software. Tempters and temptresses, every one
of them. What, me take responsibility for my own buying decisions?
Who, me? But, but, that would mean ...ummmm... responsibility!
EEEEWWW!
I've got a long-standing gripe with shareware CDs, they're all
designed specifically to assault and batter my wallet. If I let
myself, I'd buy at least half the programs on them. This one's no
exception, 3100 files and 574,851,037 bytes out of my
finances.(according to dir/s anyway)
Cream of the Crop claims to be a select collection. Whether Terry
Blount tested each program personally, I don't know. I tested a random
pick of 20 and they all worked but I'm hardly expert enough in the
many areas they were supposed to address to know whether they are, in
fact, the best of the best. Even if he did, the selection still would
be Terry's own opinion, I suppose. (Yes, I promptly deleted them after
testing.)
The Shareware concept is still, to me, a great idea. If you keep them,
register them. Otherwise, scrap them from the HD. Joking aside, these
folks deserve paid for their work.
(GOODIE TWO-SHOES mode OFF)
The interface is straightforward, supports mouse selection, and will
either copy or uncompress directly to a specified directory. It
doesn't seem to create a directory if you specify one not already on
the HD. The interface isn't particularly pretty, but it works quickly.
You can type in a letter and it will go to the first entry beginning
with it in the subdirectory. Page down is erratic, sometimes going far
beyond the next "page" of entries. Overall, though, it's quick and
effective. The mouse operation > is nice, needing only a double-click
to select a file for further operations. From there, it's keyboard
operation.
There are so many of these things that evaluating them gets to be an
exercise in hair-splitting. Does the directory structure make sense,
do the programs seem to be useful, does the interface work or look a
little better than the others? Cream of the Crop seems to meet most of
those criteria although nothing I've seen so far meets InfoMagic
CICA/Windows' new interface on the high road, their small problems
notwithstanding.
Bottom Line: It looks good, works well, and has a lot of files. Those
I tested, worked. For my money, it makes a fine addition to this
crowded genre.

I come neither to praise nor to bury Caesar, just to talk about him.
(Sorry, Will!)
Taking the role of the prototypical "Mr. Dumb PC-user," I tend to look
at a new (to me at least) CD with a playful, kind of
Wowsers-what-can-I-do-with-THIS-one(!), point of view. That may result
in sometimes being too easy on one CD and too hard on another.
Usually, it results in my playing with the thing for a few hours to a
few weeks and writing up some general thoughts on what features or
glitches jump out at me, whether I could figure out some good use for
it, and what new things (again, to me) it has > that seem to improve
the breed.
Comments and criticisms about this and any of my reviews are welcome.
I want to be fair and I'll be the first to admit I don't know
everything about anything. I'm certainly not so expert that I couldn't
possibly miss something. So fire away. I'll reply, assuming I have
time and I'm not in a snit. (See below)

COREL DRAW 3.0
CD-ROM Edition
Reviewed by Tony Thomas
The CD-ROM is the perfect vehicle for the distribution of huge
software packages that require eons to install and that come with a
tall stack of floppies. It is surprising that so few companies have
taken advantage of its capabilities. To date, only a handful of
packages like Timeworks' Publish It 2.0, OS/2 2.0, Microsoft Works,
Microsoft Word/Bookshelf and Corel Draw have come out in CD-ROM form.
After searching for professional draw package for a while, I decided
to get the new Corel Draw 3.0 on CD-ROM. Its tremendous design power,
ability to run from CD-ROM, and my dwindling hard disk space made it
an obvious choice. Corel Draw is much more than just a draw package,
however. It comes bundled with a licensed version of Z Soft's
Photofinish (sans scanner support) dubbed Corel Photo-Paint (a bitmap
and photo editor), Corel Trace (a tracing package), Corel Chart (a
charting package), Corel Show (a presentation package), Corel Mosiac
(a graphics file manager which also supports Kodak's Photo CD file
conversions), Corel Capture (a screen capture utility), a nice set of
file conversion filters, plus 250 Truetype and ATM fonts (all fonts
are in both formats and each font collection consumes over 10MB of
hard disk space), Corel's proprietary fonts and 14,000+ pieces of clip
art. The package is well integrated and uses OLE and DDE throughout
which also allows you to to link up wit h other Windows applications
supporting those features.
With all that software, it should come as no surprise that Corel takes
over 30+ MB of hard disk space to install, and that is for a minimal
installation. If you have the space available, you may want to opt to
install it on your hard disk for speedier performance. If 30+ MB is
too high a price to pay, you can do what I did - run it directly from
CD-ROM. Sure, you will suffer a performance penalty--when loading
from CD, Corel takes about a minute to boot--but it is bearable since
disc reads after boot up are minimal. Processor speed and cache will
probably effect program performance more than CD-ROM access speed.
You don't get off scott free, however, since Corel installs about 750K
worth of essential files on your hard disk when you choose the CD-ROM
installation option.
The vast resources you gain (font, symbol, clip art, texture and
graphics libraries) are immense when using CD-ROM. For example, all
fonts can reside on your CD-ROM and can be accessed when needed (if
installed in Font Manager) by the Corel suite of applications as well
as any other Windows application. The floppy version of Corel only
contains a fraction of the resources found on CD-ROM even though it is
priced similarly (it does come with a bonus CD-ROM, though).
With the package you get a helpful VHS tutorial video, a hefty manual,
a directory of graphics, symbols and clip art, a small command guide,
a graphics ruler, and a catalog of coupons for other computer art
products.
I only have a few gripes with the Corel Draw package. First of all,
upon installation, the program installs all 250 or so Truetype fonts.
Even though the fonts reside on the CD-ROM and the ______.FOT font
definition files copied to your hard disk are small (about 1.3K each),
this adds considerably to your Windows boot time. My system, which
usually takes 30 seconds to boot into Windows takes 2-3 minutes to
boot with all fonts installed. After installing Corel, I had to go
through the tedious process of uninstalling all the fonts I didn't
need, leaving about 30 of the Corel Truetype fonts plus the Windows
collection on my hard drive. Of course, I still have the option of
adding fonts as needed from CD-ROM by installing them from the Control
Panel on the fly.
Also, I would have liked to see an array of installation options, a la
carte style, allowing you to devote more hard disk space to parts of
the program that you use most often to speed up performance. Finally,
I wish that Corel would have included a set of laminated command cards
and font lists. I made my own by copying the command summary booklet,
reducing it and laminating the xerox copies. It only cost about $4 at
my local supply store to have the entire set laminated.
The Corel Draw 3.0 CD-ROM edition (with a street price of less than
$400) is a supreme bargain considering all the powerful tools you get:
a top shelf draw program, paint program/photo editor, chart program,
presentation program, trace program, screen capture utility and
graphics file manager. To duplicate what is included in this package
would cost double or triple the street price. It is easy to use, well
integrated and will make you look great on paper, even if you have
limited graphics skills. Five Stars *****

Hello!
My reply might seem late but keep in mind that I am writing
from Germany, Europe...
AS> you are saying isn't right. What the creative drive does, is simply
AS> play the audio track on the cd, and you then record it with the DAC on
AS> the soundcard, with a resulting loss of quality, unless you are using
AS> a real whizz bang sound card. What we were talking about, is READING
Even with the most expensive sound equipment (unless You are using a
complete sound studio with very expensive _cables_, microphones,
_filters_ etc. which usually is not affordable for the average user),
the lowest bit of a 16-bit audio sample will be pure random.
AS> the RAW cd audio data off a CD audio disk and saving it to disk. Note
AS> this process does NOT involve sampling with the soundcard, and like I
AS> was saying, the only drive that I know of that has the capability is
AS> the Toshiba SCSI drive.
There are some SONY and PHILIPS drives I know of that CAN read audio
samples directly to Your hard drive using CDGRAB.

I am getting a little bit tried of this person M. Shannon. His attitude towards
other users is disgusting. If I follow his advice and hit the enter key I will
get a sore thumb because nearly every other message that I see here is from him
. I can understand that he and others want to supply us with CD's. But I hope
he realizes that he is also a guest in this echo and should behave as such. OR
IS THIS THE PRIVATE ECHO OF M.SHANNON.
I cannot send this via netmail.I hope that M.Shannon take note that it is

MPC-2, Kodak Photo CD and Multisession compatible.
Was planning on buying the Chinon 535 in couple weeks, and now

No Mike, I have not recieved any messages concerning the discs. I checked the
conferences on and off, but I don't know how often they purge their message
base. I started using the Silverado BBS again and I got an answer. As this
previous message was recieved and we seem to understand each other, I can cool
my heels a bit. However, I no longer need the CD's as I no longer
run the BBS. I would like to credit the $160.00 toward a new order from you.
Also I need to change the address to my civilian address to keep this from
happening again. Coincidentally, what reason did the post office kick it back
for? I've had no problems up until now. I will check your offers online and
post a new message with an order. If you have already sent the money back,
just let me know to expect it. Please let me know where we stand with this
situation so we may resolve it with little fuss.

Mike, You can try cacheing your CD-Rom using MS-DOS 6.2 or 6.22 but
smartdrive must be loaded in your autoexec after the CD-ROM drivers. If I had
more info maybe I could give more suggestions

What is the bearing for the running water? How do I open the elevator?

Wayne,
Yes there are many programs which do what you ask. I have three or
four of them. I have two or three of them which are Shareware.
That is if I understand you correctly.
You would like to use your cdrom player to play music while you are
running programs from your other drives.
I have a cd rom player in my computer. I can put a music cd disc in
the player. Then I run a cdplayer program off of my hard drive. The
program will show a list of the tracks of the music disk. I can check
the songs which I want to play, then go out of the program and be at
the dos prompt and the music disc will be playing the music.
If that is what you mean, then yes there are programs like that.
If that is what you want. Let me know what you would like.
The names of the files?
The files?

EW> What is the latest , or most comprehensive shareware CD that you
EW> have?
Hello Edd,
May I add my two cents worth here?
I collect Shareware CDROM disc's and I have my own opinions..
It would depend on just exactly what you are seeking...
There are Shareware disc's which have many files of all types of
programs.
Then there are disc's which are designed to focus on particular
programs. Such as:
Games only.
Technical files only.
Now if you want names of disc's which have all types of programs. The
ones I would suggest which have the latest and the most are:
Night Owl
The Pier
Cream of the Crop
Software Vault
Each of these have numbers attached to their titles.
Night Owl is just releasing number 14
The Pier is at number 6
Cream of the Crop is at number 5
The Software Vault series goes by jewel names: Emerald, Ruby, Platium,
I believe their recent release is : Software Vault Gold..
Now if you would like a disc with a variety of programs without GAMES
on it. Then you might look at the Simtel series. They produce a good
shareware cd disc.
One of their aspects in producing disc's is that they don't focus on
the dates the files are made. They will keep older programs on their
disc's if these programs have passed the test of time. Which means,
if there is a good program and there isn't a later version of it, they
will have it on their disc. I like this feature. As I have a few
older programs which are good programs and there isn't a better one on
the market to replace it with.
All of the above mentioned cdrom disc's are packed with many files.
The disc's will average using over 600 megs of space.
I hope this may be of some interest for you.

Hi Jerry,
PC Magazine has a quarterly with multimedia demos and text articles from
Sept 93-94 on the current CD. Sample or year subscription available,
800-787-9677
Nautilus (from Metatec) is more general interest topics, only have a
sample copy. The same group has worked on the Compuserve CD and
technical quality is improving by the issue. Coupon in CD-ROM Today
magazine or phone 800-637-3472.
CD-ROM Today has a monthly CD of demos and shareware with the paper
magazine. (415) 696-1661 This is my favorite for CD reviews. Hope the
Nov issue will be in stores Monday -- it's late and keeping many fans
waiting. :-)
CD-ROM World magazine has plans to ship CD demos in the future.

I was wondering if any one out there is running a Teac Quad Speed/ SB AWE 32
combo. I would appreciate any feedback on performance, problems, etc. I was
also wondering since the Teac has its own controller would I need to connect
it to the sound card, i.e., an audio cable. And one more thing, does anyone
know if Creative Labs was planning to release the AWE 32 with a SCSI
controller?
Thank you very much for any input.

One comment:
I bought a "Sound Magic" 16-bit sound card for around $60 at a show. This has
on
the box a "Sound-blaster Compatible" logo. Guess what - I got what I paid for.
The
card seems flaky, at best. I haven't found applications that it _doesn't_ work
with, but
it doesn't work _well_ with any of them. If I had to do it over, I think I'd go
with the
name - my old SB8 did _not_ have these problems.
Regards,
Bill

>> I'm trying to buy a CD rom from him, Sanyo, as he mentioned,
Hi, Peter. I have not talked with the person in question, but I am
currently testing the Sanyo CDR-H94SMV on my system. It has the same
ratings as you were indicating. Is it worth the money? Well, as they
say, you get what you pay for.
The price is about as low as double-speed SCSI CD-ROM drives get. It's
a caddy-less design, and the specifications indicate that it had an
average 250ms seek time, 300 KB/sec data transfer rate, burst transfer
rate of 1.5MB/sec, and an audio dynamic range of 75dB.
Frankly, this drive doesn't meet its specs. It has difficulties
maintaining and average of 280 KB/sec data transfer rate. Average seek
times are about 280 ms. The audio dynamic range is very poor; worse
than many portable disk-man type units. Plus, my SCSI diagnostics keeps
returning SCSI errors every once in a while for no apparent reason. I'm
trading this thing for a new Toshiba as soon as I'm finished testing.
(One final, yet minor complaint: The drive face plate colour doesn't
match the rest of my computer. Has an almost Apple-like colour to it.)

The SCSI interface on the PAS 16 card only supports a smel list of CD

Mega Race 2000? I don't think I've seen a Mega Race 2000. I have
and played MEGA RACE. If you are still thinking about buying it
buy it by all means. It is definately one of the most addictive
game I've ever played. The graphics are superb and the cinematic

I like "MYST" a heck lot better. I think it really depends on what
kind of friend you have. Is he MORE of a all action type or strategy
type?
(meaning action- stuff like Doom, Wolfenstein, Syndicate...or
strategy-stuff like Ultima 1-8, Kings Quest 1-7,....ect)
Here is some pros and con for both games. Myst has a whole lot better
graphics than Doom II. Unfortunately Myst use quick time and there
for runs only (I think) on Windows. The whole game and its format is
easy to use...but so is Doom II. However playing Doom II online with
anoter player IS very exciting and fun. But I've always been a
traditonal
Sierra and Origin game kind of person. Well...how is this for a
incentive
Myst for the past year has been the number 1 CD Rom game..just until
recently.

Since this buffer can contain the info that is stored in the file
allocation table it saves the time that is needed to re-read the
FAT table with any drive. The faster the drive the faster it
can read the FAT table ...but the buffer (memory) is always MUCH
faster than reading it from the cd. Here is how you can test
your performance...
Remove the /m:? parameter and reboot (the default without /M:?
is 8 buffers) then log on your cd and type and enter: Dir /s/w
Watch how often the light comes on to read the cd and get a
general idea of how long it takes to read the entire cd.
Then include /m:256 and repeat the process. Let me know what
you notice on your drive.
