Msg 45548 is 08 line(s) on 03/22/92 from BILL WOLFF to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/BUY CGA MONITOR? Yes that is what I use on my laptop. An $129 CGA color monitor that I bought from Damark. Though I believe others may have them as well. You might want to check out Sears for a CGA monitor too. I didn't know that a EGA monitor will work on a CGA card... thanks Mike for the information. I know that 15 to 9 pin adapters are around, though I thought they were for multi-sync monitors hooked up to CGA cards. Msg 45549 is 21 line(s) on 03/22/92 from JERRY OLSEN to ALL re: COMDEX/WINDOWS WORLD I have a few extra complimentary exhibits-only passes for the Comdex/Windows World trade show at McCormick Place on 6-9 April. Also, I am hosting an informal gathering of those in the shareware industry attending the trade show at Monday's Restaurant and Bar, 75 W. Harrison (between Clark and Dearborn in the South Loop area near McCormick) on Tuesday, 7 April. (Yeah, "Monday's on Tuesday."...) Most participants, from throughout the U.S. and abroad, will arrive shortly after exhibits close at 5 p.m., but others will arrive throughout the evening. This is a small gathering for eating, drinks, socializing--and perhaps even some industry banter . (Note: There is a second Monday's a few blocks north, which caused a small problem last year.) If interested in either, the primary dialogue is being held on CompuServe ("GO ASPFORUM"). But if necessary you may leave word for me on The Advocate BBS, 312/939-4411, 300--2400 bps, 8/n/1, Loop area--or fax me at 312/939-3300. To receive passes, leave complete mailing address and check CIS or the BBS for confirmation. (The supply isn't unlimited!) To attend the dinner, indicate number of attendees and whether confirmed or tentative. (Confirmed doesn't mean signed in blood --more like "very probable"--important for arranging sufficient space. Msg 45550 is 10 line(s) on 03/23/92 from JIM POLOUS to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/BASIC COMM Ward, Interesting.... I'll make a mental note of that for future reference. I suppose if it were 0, it would ignore the characters until the next pass when, hopefully by then, one character would be added to stop the looping effect that would result. No doubt, if a terminal stopped displaying, someone would type a key after a while and get the ball rolling again (assuming the worst case when say exactly 1K characters came over the line. ) Jim No dup. chars. >Function:?
