I've personally run across only one such BBS set-up, called (ahem!) PUPPY, a shareware program. I left complete details about obtaining a copy on my BBS when I had such in front of me the other day. If interested, call the number below. The message date would be either the 17th or 18th, which would put it somewhere around #750-800. I'd suggest trying two things to track it down quickly. If R;'BBS' doesn't find it (note the SINGLE quote marks and semicolon carefully), try S;750 and scan up to a likely-sounding msg, then use the Read command. Shouldn't be all that hard to find, really. If you can't find it, leave me a message on my BBS and I'll track down the info in the hardcopy records. Hope it helps.

No problem. I have had some problems with CROSSTALK in the past. The emulation wants to be there, but every now and again an escape sequence slips through and gums the works. In fact, it got to the point that I switched to PROCOMM{after it became available. I've seen some people refer to a new shareware product called TELIX (spelling?) but have yet to find a copy.

Msg 42127 is 25 line(s) on 07/19/89 from ERIC BOHLMAN to PAUL STREETER re: R/EXPANDED EXTENDED/ EXTR[ Your message header was a bit garbled, so I assume you're asking about the difference between EXTENDED memory and EXPANDED memory. As you ma{ know, an ordinary 8088 (which is what DOS was written for) can address one megabyte of memory. However, some of this address space needs to be used for things like the ROM BIOS and screen memory. This leaves DOS with 640K of "user" memory. The 80286 and 80386 processors are capable of addressing more memory than the 8088/8086 can. However, they can't access it when emulating an 8088 (which is what they have to do to run DOS); they have to be switched into something called "protected mode." Extra memory in the address space of an 80286/80386 is referred to as extended memory. Programs have to go through special contortions to access it, and the access can be slow because switching the processor from normal mode to protected mode and back takes some time. Also, extended memory isn't available on XT-class machines. A few years back Lotus, Intel and Microsoft decided to address the problem of having only 640K to work in, and they designed a special memory board that allows XT-type machines to access additional memory. The idea is that you have a board with a lot of memory, and special circuits that let you make 64K of it "visible" by creating a "window." Memory on such a board is called expanded memory, and a fair number of programs can make use of it, whereas only a handful of programs can access extended memory. Note that memory added to the motherboard of an AT-type machine is almost always extended memory; it won't help you run software that's expecting expanded memory.
