I was talking to Mike Jania (is that right) about the PC3270 control program. It appears that you may be the authority on that piece of software. We (U of I Business Affairs) had hard drives go bad on two of them. In both cases, the restored INDCIPL stopped abruptlu with Divide Overflow. The problem turned out to be that the repair people had installed PCDOS 3.2 which is not compatable with INCIPL. We will get 3.3. I got one of the machines to work by formatting a floppy with 2.1 and putting PC3270 on it. I thought it odd that in that I ended up with a C> instead of A> and that VER stated 3.20. Does INDCIPL overlay PCDOS then build a virtual machine for the PC session then boot the new machine from the hard drive if possible? (or something like that? Sorry about typos. There is line noise tonight.

Msg 41877 is 14 line(s) on 06/01/89 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to JERRY OLSEN re: R/TEST FILES NEEDED Oh, you want a "pub" in Pagemaker format? OK. Tell me EXACTLY what you want - i.e. font type and size (ex: helvetica 12 point normal, one column, etc). The format is ENORMOUSLY complex, since for example when you import TIFF images, it keeps a 1/4 resolution copy in it, and a POINTER to the "real" file. I have a file that includes one of about 13 different fonts, as well as some "stroke" fonts, boxes, shading, etc. I could send you THAT file, and a copy of how the pub prints. I could also "just" change fonts, and save a file, so you'd have 2 to compare - but if you think you can "reverse assemble" the file, I think you're in way over your head. As to the "Emulation" related to pcjr, I don't know what you read into my item - I just asked if anyone knew of a CONNECTOR CABLE to allow the jr to plug into a CGA output. Msg 41878 is 14 line(s) on 06/02/89 from COLIN SCHROEDER to ALL re: 80X87 SPEED/ RATED/ACTUAL A while back, I left a message concerning 387-16 chips. Someone (I can't recall who) left a msg which mentioned in passing that one can use a math chip which is rated at lower speed than the CPU is run at; i.e. use a 387-16 in a 386-20 machine. I'm curious as to how this would work: would the end result be comparable to running the CPU faster than its rated speed (viz. the occasional discussion in PC Mag.)? If so, is this OK because the math chip is not constantly in use? Or is something entirely different going on here? The reason for all this is that I'm considering upgrading to a 20 or 25 Mhz 386 system and would like to avoid forking over $4-500 for another 387. Can I put a 387-16 in a 386-25 with impunity?! (By the way, is anyone interested in an ALR 386-16 with 2 Mb RAM, 44 meg Miniscribe 6053 HD, Hercules mono?)
