Msg 42598 is 03 line(s) on 10/10/89 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to JERRY OLSEN re: BBS LIST You might consider becoming a Chinet member - $50/yr gives you access to the "wide world" of the Unix network, etc. Also you could pick up the BBS lists that Alex downloads from Stillwaters and uploads there. Msg 42599 is 12 line(s) on 10/10/89 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to GUS ROUMAYA re: YOUR COMMENT Ah, welcome to your first communications system! Most systems use the standard ASCII character "control-S" which means "X-off" which stops the system from sending to you. Unfortunately, until we get our 9600 baud modem back, the one we have is quite noisy and the system may see the line noise and start sending to you again. But try pressing ^S (or just "S") while CBBS is typing to you and it should stop. Then use the "E" command to enter a msg, and use "ALL" as who to, and "Victor 9000" as the subject (or "Victor 9000 commo" if that's what you want - saying "communications" might make the subject too long). Welcome to BBSing. Don't judge all BBSs by this one - it was the first, and is "historical" - meaning "quite crude".

Programs are currently in Turbo Pascal, so proficiency with that language is necessary. Office is in St. Charles, IL (far West suburbs). Some travel is required.

Msg 42607 is 10 line(s) on 10/11/89 from PETE CANTELE to ALL re: FILTER NEEDED Could someone please help me? I'm looking for a routine to add a 'return', x'0D', following every form feed (hex'0C'). It seems best to tap into the dos interrupt for the printer, but I packed all my books away for a move and I just don't know how to do this. Any help would be appreciated. p.s. I need to do something like this because we have a large com- piled dBase program that our folks out west won 't change for us and the carraige is left out in the middle after every form feed.

Had a problem but got it running. The 360K is hooked up to the main controller and I have the 1.4 meg to the second controller. Maybe should change it! 1) Had to put DRIVER.SYS in the directory, didn't have it! 2) Had to put the "NODMA" ctatement in the driver. Would you believe that a Micronics motherboard has an incompatible DMA and I had to bypass it for this driver. 3) Set the drive up as a 1.4 and can't read a 720K unless I change the config.sys statement for my driver. Maybe I will hook the 360K up to the second controller so the computer can read 1.4 and 720K. Maybe won't have to use the NODMA statement also. These drivers etc are a pain getting in the right order. BUT. I have 3 floppy drives running on the 386 now.

Msg 42613 is 08 line(s) on 10/12/89 from ERIC BOHLMAN to PETE CANTELE re: R/FILTER NEEDED Sounds like you need to hook into the BIOS printer interrupt (many programs bypass the DOS printer function, which in any case calls the BIOS interrupt). What kind of printer are you using that doesn't automatically return the carriage on a form feed, anyway? In any case, I can write the filter for you, though I'm not in a position to do it for free (we're probably talking $25 or so). If interested, give me a call at 251-5787 (Wilmette); leave a message on the answering machine if I'm out.
