Subject: Re: DOS screen-saver and scanner

On the first of Boanne Lorraine's two questions of Sat, 16 Jan 1999:

Indeed there seem to be no new scanners on the market delivered to
work with DOS any more. They all use TWAIN drivers (thus Win$), and
most depend on SCSI, some few use a parallel (printer) port.

Earlier generations used "dedicated"/proprietary slot cards to
interface a parallel-type output from the scanner, in order to have it
work fast enough. You may find some in perfect shape ... but without
the card.  Their quality is still double that of even high-resolution
fax though.

Some of these, for instance from Microtek, had a "debugging" feature
which allowed for *serial* output -- and that can be easily used with
any serial (RS 232) port.

I have a handicrafted DOS prog to do that, produces .PCX files easy to
use for fax. But it's rather slooooow... (because of both the prog and
the serial transmission; could come down from 10+ minutes per A4 page
to about 2 to three though, if only I could do that little assembler
unit to speed up the bit counting). However that's enough for saving
books and magazines from gtting shredded for sheet-feeding a fax
machine.

If it's an IDE drive then the one on the card might be the
one. BTW, there are many interfaces, but the newer ones
seem to be mostly IDE. If the drive is not IDE then you
need a card that will support that interface. If I
remember correctly, my own sbpro 16 has a panasonic
interface.
  In response to the rest of your message, for a CDR
interface, you should not have to set any jumpers for IRQ
or anything else. The exception is if there is a jumper
for changing interfaces (like Sony, Panasonic, Matsumi,
etc) but that will usually be clearly labeled.

Probably it would be easier without the backpack.

Subject: GEM and Allegro

I admit I'd never heard of GEM until my oldest mentioned to me as
a favorite way back in Atari times.

I agree that C is the language of choice to make interfaces and
upgrades.  However, I disagree *most* strongly about that C being
C++.  None of the Turbo-C+++ stuff is very portable.  It is so
touchy that it can even be darned near machine specific.  If
anyone is going to do anything in C, I strongly urge that you
look into Mix Power C -- pure ANSI C which can be used by just
about any platform.

It doesn't have the "short cuts" of the fancy C packages;
consequently you have to program and possibly even set up custom
lib files.  But because of that, programs written in it aren't
nearly as top heavy and bloated as the Borland and other C
offerings produce.

Just my opinion ...

l.d.

P.S.  How did Caldera acquire GEM?  Didn't it go to the feds when
      they bought out Atari?  Just curious ...

Hasbro bought Atari, but until now besides getting the URL
http://www.atari.com registered and attacking Atari ROM sites, they
did nothing (They once told me (after asking them) that they plan
to release some of the more popular Atari games to the PC platform -
Though the way I know big Corps, its gonna be Windows only).

Digital Research which have originaly created CP/M, DR-DOS, GEM (first
for the Atari then to the PC), and other famous products have been
bought by Novell around 1993. The original plan was to create an
extremly powerfull DOS OS which could do almost everything that
Windows 95 can do today, however for some reason it was canceled and
the normal development of DR-DOS continued, under the name of
NovellDOS. Along with the bought of Digital Research the copyright
for GEM, CP/M and else have been included. Around 1996 (1997?)
Caldera have bought the copyright for all Digital Research products
from Novell, including DR-DOS, GEM, and CP/M. This is how they
got hold of DR-DOS and GEM.

As for GEM and the court, in the 80's the first version of GEM for
the PC was very Mac alike. This is mainly because it was based on
the same GUI proto-type: the Xerox Alto. Apple, however, didnt liked
the idea of a PC product that looks like their MacOS, so they sued
Digital Research in court and won. Digital Research was ordered to
remove several items and concepts from the desktop in the intrest
of Apple's copyright: the trash can, the "desktop enviroment" like
in Windows 95, and the ability to move windows. This has coused the
next versions of GEM to be quite uncomfortable. Fortunatly, the GEM
version for the Atari was not only Digital Research's, but also of
the Atari Corporation. This fact saved the Atari version of GEM from
being changed, making it much better and more comfortable from a
user interface point of view. Infact, there are some proofs that
while designing the Microsoft Windows 95 interface, Microsoft
designers used the Atari GEM interface as a base. (they stole
the Taskbar, desktop enviroment, and even the idea of the file
windows).

Thats the story. Hope I helped with some of your historical intrest.

And you can use it to make a self playing EXE sound files!
Just do: copy plany.exe + soundfile.ext soundfile.exe

Yea. I've allready read about it in OSNews (http://www.osnews.com).
A site called The Nuddle is orginazing such a campaign. According to

From:    Lars-Einar Jansson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: POP3 vs. IMAP4

Some time ago there was a rather heated debate on this list regarding
the pros and cons of SMTP and POP3 for fetching mail. Recently, there
have been some questions on another list I subscribe to, Nettamer,
regarding that program's capacity to know whether mail on the server
was "new" or "old". One can set it to "get new mail, delete old" and
so on.

I had a look at RFC 1725, which Eko Priono referred to during the
previous debate. This seems to have been updated by RFC 1939, BTW. I
couldn't find anything in the POP3 protocol which gave an e-mail
client or server the ability to distinguish old from new mail.

Until I found out about something called Internet Message Access
Protocol, Version 4rev1. IMAP4rev1 for short. This is described in
length in RFC 2060 (don't know if this is the most up-to-date
version), and has a much more versatile, and complex!, syntax than
POP3. You can issue dozens of different commands and get all kinds of
information about the mail waiting for you at the server, it seems.
You can also do all sorts of things with the mail on the server,
including setting up different folders.

Because of the complexity, I believe the communication has to be
handled automatically by your e-mailclient, if it implements IMAP4.
The possibility to connect manually via telnet, as you can do with
POP3, doesn't appear to be a working solution. The IMAP4 server can
be reached at port 143, vs. port 110 for POP3, BTW. Turned out my ISP
had both options, POP3 and IMAP4.

Now for some questions from someone who is curious. Does anyone know
how common this protocol is, i.e. is it implemented on most
mailservers nowadays? What about clients - do you have to have a
very recent version of some program for Win 95/98, like Eudora or MS
Internet Mail to do all the tricks possible with IMAP4? Are there
any DOS clients supporting IMAP4? Has anybody on this list used any
of the more exotic options in IMAP4?

Imap is indeed a nice protocol.  Unfortunately, most imap servers have
bugs in them that gives users access to more than they are supposed to
have.  As a result, most isps have turned off the imap protocol
altogether.  There are some programs (including pc-pine) that will handle
imap on the dos platform, but having only experimented with pc-pine, I
can't comment on the others. Don't think this answers your questions, but
hope it contributes to the discussion anyhow.

You can set up a canned message that will be sent to the addressee when
they worte to the email address of the autoresponder. You could have a
price list that people could request through the autoresponder only by
sending a blank message to a specific address.

I tried to get my password sent to me using my icq number that I have
configured using micq.  It says the registered email address is not valid
and they cannot send the password.  What's going on
I would like my existing icq number removed.

Subject: formatting cdrom under DOS

    Hello listers,

   I have a new read/write cdrom. I use DAO under DOS.
    The question is: how can I format my cdrom?

   Any help appreciated

A cd-rom isn't like a hard drive.  You don't format the cd-r disc then
write to it, you use the software to do the formatting as it writes the
information.  Dao (which I registered myself) is an excellent package, and
to my knowledge, the only one under dos that handles writeable cd-r
drives.  But in any case, the dao utilities (did you get the freeware
utilities too?) will handle the writing of the data, including formatting
of the cd when you write the information to them.  Be sure to read all the
documentation that came with the programs, so you can avoid making your
first few discs into coasters.  If you have troubles with them, drop a
line privately, and I'll assist you in their use.

Hi all,

Finally got link to the internet again today...  Well,
actually to Wasantara.Net's extranet as well.  My city's
node was isolated for several days due to vsat trouble.
The only access last week was Mojokerto-only email plus
one local website.  Virtually no access at all <g>.

Yeah I knew, not so reliable for a list owner.  But this
is the only ISP in town; so I have no choice, at least
not locally.  Guess it's time to find new co-listowner(s)
for this list ?  Anyone interested ? ;)

I might loose some incoming emails as well.  There are
only over 800 mails held at the mailgate since 01/16
(probably more, still transmitting some old batches).
So if you have no response from me in two or three
days, please resend your message.  Thanks in advance.
