Msg 46437 is 20 line(s) on 08/29/93 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to ALL re: ONE BBSCON Just got back from ONE BBSCON (the ONE means Online Networking Exposition). This is a BBS related convention. Last year, 1000 attended, this year, just under 2000. Next year, they predict 3500! I think it will be at Atlanta The program started of an opening session, with Jim Warren as keynote speaker (he has been involved in the industry for many years - Dr. Dobbs Jorunal, Micro Times, Electronic Design News, etc). It then went into optional sessions, two every AM and two every PM, with some "Birds of a Feather" to round it off in the evening for topics come up with after the original program was created. There was a very large exhibit hall, with everything from modem mfgrs (US Robotics, Hayes, Supra, Zoom, Xyzel or whatever that strange one is, etc), to all the BBSs, multi-port board vendors, vendors hooking to the Internet, PageSat with their Internet news feed by satellite, (and a competitor giving more - Ilink, Fido, etc, but at $30/month right away, and not $30/month AFTER 2 YEARS like PageSat). I gave a session on the BBS history, kind of expectedly lightly attended - it was up against Dr. Vinton Cerf, the internet inventor, doing a big spiel on the internet. It was held at the old but nice Broadmoor hotel in Colorado Springs. They picked up my hotel bill, but I had to do my own airfare.

I'm interested in Internet and Usenet etc. I want to learn UNIX and expand my computer knowlege. I'm formerly an Atari user (64k-8bit/4meg 16bit) Clones since they became afordable. I have Unix 3.2 but need some info about whether I can format a hard drive half Unix and half Dos, of if I have to dedicate a machine to Unix. Please pass on any info. Tnx. Msg 46443 is 19 line(s) on 09/03/93 from ED FOSTER to ANDY SHAPIRO re: R/DBIV? This is a little late to join the conversation, but I think I have what were looking for. Along with the dBASE IV upgrade (from 1.5 to 2.0) for $99, I also bought the compiler for $199. This may sound like a good deal, but wait, there's more. The Borland dBASE Compiler gives the option of a full, standalone .EXE file, and a "compact" .EXE requiring the presence of two .RTL (runtime library) files. In the application I bought the compiler for there are seven .PRG files, totaling about 31K. The "compact" .EXE file is over 180K, and the .RTL files are 150K and 1.5M. That's right, almost two megabytes of program files to run this compiled application. Furthermore, I could not get the programs to run on a machine with only 2M of RAM. Talk about FatWare! That said, the compiler does what I bought it for. It allows me to run multiuser applications on a network without buying multiple copies of the development system. It's not a speed demon, but it's reasonably fast under Novell 3.11, and if you have a browse screen up and somebody else changes a record, after a (settable) interval your screen will be automatically updated. Still want your programs compiled? I'll be happy to do it for you.

Msg 46445 is 19 line(s) on 09/05/93 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to MARTY CONROY re: R/NEW USER I'll try to talk to Randy Suess, co-founder (with me) of CBBS, to see if he has an answer on your half-DOS half-Unix issue. Ideally, your Unix might have a DOS emulator that allows running DOS directly - though I'm not sure how well they do in a more complex environment - such as I don't think you can run Windows since Unix would already be the "protected mode" op sys in your box. Could you tell me what you mean by "Unix 3.2"? Not sure that's sufficient to know what you have - i.e. is it DELL Unix 3.2, or what? As to internet/usenet, etc, that's a complex issue. One person to contact if you really want that direct access, is Karl Deninger. Here's a signature line from him from a recent message on Chinet, Randy's Unix system. (Hmmm, you might want to get on chinet, a place to ask your Unix questions, etc - the guest access number is (312) 283-0559, I think. But $50/yr helps.
