Msg 43338 is 05 line(s) on 03/12/90 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to ALL re: DISKETTE CACHE? My Bullet 286 replacement motherboard contains a disk cache, that also works for diskettes. It is proprietary however (special RAM locations). Anyone know of a cache that works for diskettes? I'd like to start tinkering with moving the Ward Board to a PC, and for how it has a 1.44M floppy - cacheing would help a lot. Msg 43339 is 03 line(s) on 03/12/90 from RALPH SIMPSON to ALL re: DATA CARTRIDGES Does anyone have any Scotch 300XL data cartridges they would like to sell? I'm in the market for some. Leave a message here if interested. Any equivalent other data cartridges would be considered. Thanks. Msg 43340 is 30 line(s) on 03/13/90 from JERRY OLSEN to RICHARD GOZDAL re: CALCULATOR/ LABELS I'd welcome additional input on the programmers' calculator. It's evolving in response to input every couple of days and (barring some major enhancements in response to user input) should be "done" in the next week or so. So, while you've kindly supplied your address, the only really practical way to obtain your input would be for you to grab a copy from The Advocate/NOWAR, 312.939.4411, 24 hrs., 8/n/1 (South Loop). The archive is small at this stage (only quickie docs at this point, under the presumption testers are reasonably computer literate). The msg base over there contains more info, but in general the archive is in the C1: directory, under a filename of QM-BETA??.LZH, where ?? is the latest (and frequently changing) test version number. Note: I try to remember to set each revision to be downloadable w/out validation. If you call and find I've neglected to set it for unvalidated downloading, leave me a msg there and I can set the appropriate bit in the DIR filename to make that possible. As for labels, there's no written literature. The point was that I regularly print professional-quality labels for in-house use and am simply offering to shar some of the cost-savings of a special arrangement I have with a printer, plus my (true, photo-) typesetting and design. At the moment, I'm preparing a batch of 2 3/4"-square labels to take to the printer in the next day or two. (That's the size used for 3.5" disks. But I've also designed it such that it works well on 5.25" disks.) Other sizes come up from time to time, and I'd welcome the chance to see if we could gang up your needs and ours if you'll indicate your needs.If a combined run is possible, you'll get the same price cuts as in the current batch. If not, the services will be at my normal rates (hourly for design and typesetting, printing at trade rates). I know of no lower rates from full-time design houses anywhere in Chicago, and could provide estimates after determining your specs. For efficiency, I'd suggest a voice call during business hours: 312.939.3300. Thanx for the inquiries. Msg 43341 is 09 line(s) on 03/13/90 from BRENT JONES to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/WANT TO CODE? Would you be interested in selling GrandView? You shared quite a few frustrations. I have been looking at the demo of GV which John Friend had mailed to me. It looks like I could make good use of it. Ward, I would suggest that you give a look at PC Outline. It has many of the same features of GV but I find that by cutting down on the number of features, it is easier to use. You want me to send you a 3.5" disk of PC Outline, just let me know. You really should look at it if you are frustrated. Where did you get GV and how much did you pay? Msg 43342 is 06 line(s) on 03/13/90 from PHIL SCHUMAN to ALL re: DBASE IV & MEMORY USAGE ?? In using a dbIV application on a PC with 2meg of extended memory if the 2meg could be used to help speed it up. It appears that the manual indicates that EMS and extended memory may be ud but other folks have said the AT lies. it can not make use of the memory. Any thoughts on helping the application out with the 2meg ?? Ram disk or a disk cache. and if the cache - which program - share or buy ???

Really hate to D/L anything. I gave that up with all the bad programs going round in the last year or so. Too busy to mess with any of that anyway. Will see ablout a D/L somethime. Too bad about the labels though. I REALLY do need neat looking "laser" labels. dup. chars. >Function:?
