Unfortunately, as with any software product, you just have to learn its particular syntax rules.or find another product. (Even more unfortunately, many products attempt to "improve" upon syntax that a DOS expects. That can make life a trifle easier for casual users, but essentially is a pain in the %&( for those familiar with the DOS. ) Msg 42467 is 03 line(s) on 09/11/89 from BRENT JONES to JIM POLOUS re: R/PRODIGY I don't actually think that is if "official" in 312 yet, but there are several working numbers. Just ask the Prodigy people if you need a more local one. Brent Msg 42468 is 23 line(s) on 09/11/89 from BRENT JONES to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/PRODIGY WARNING Just after I asked, I found the little program that will redirect printer output to disk file. It is called "Prn-File" in the Public Brand Software catalog. On their disks it is # LB 8.0 -actually it is part of Buttonware's Baker's Dozen which you might already have. If you don't have the Public Brand Catalog give them a call at 1-800-426-DISK. The catalogs are free-disks are $5. What do you mean hex and un-hex? I don't understand how this applys to Prodigy. I agree with you that the E-mail is not as swift at CIS with TAPCIS. Perhaps they will get to the point where they allow up and downloading with e-mail and files. That will probably make or break Prodigy. Few will use an e-mail service that is not as "slick" as it possibly can be. That is why your board impresses me. It is so simple to get and send messages here. Do you think that there are too many forums on CIS. I find the degree of specialization a bit much. But there is a lot of traffic and I guess that it has to be broken down in some fashion to be managable. Have you ever used ENS -Exec. News Service? I set up a folder with keywords of interest to me. It works nicely except for not being able to download directly-I send them to my EasyPlex box. Where will the BBS world be in 20 years? You helped start it, your opinion surely counts. Will we have seamless e-mail across MCI, CIS, Prodigy (or its child)? Will the private BBS still exist? Msg 42469 is 10 line(s) on 09/11/89 from BRENT JONES to BILL WOLFF re: R/LIKE PRODIGY??? Prodigy is pure commercial in that it gives you ads on each screen- well almost every screen. But that is how the cost is a flat $9.95. I really think that this is the last great hope for VideoText. If SEARS and IBM can make it go, then it can't fly. But a computer-link with graphics and e-mail is somewhere in the future for us. If Prodigy allows file transfers and gets links with Europe, Asia and S. America then it will no doubt be a hit-assuming cost remains low. When EGA computers get to $500 graphics will really begin to take off! Will it ever happen? Brent Msg 42470 is 05 line(s) on 09/11/89 from GEORGE PATAY to ALL re: CORVUS HARD DRIVE I recently got an old Corvus 10M hard drive with an IBM driver card. I am having some trouble getting it to work in an IBM XT clone as it wants to see DOS 1.1. Anybody have any ideas?Anybody know of any old working Corvus systems that could be of any use?? I reali this is a long shot - but I like tinkering with old junk. But this may be be what I can do. Thanks. Msg 42471 is 07 line(s) on 09/11/89 from DAVID GIBBS to ALL re: PRODIGY Personally, I think that Prodigy is a very good system for novice users who are just getting into their computers. Once they get more advanced they are going to want something more powerfull like C-Serve or GEnie. Regards! David dup. chars. >Function:?
