Msg 46592 is 07 line(s) on 03/06/94 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to PHIL SCHUMAN re: R/IBM MANUALS FOR 4700/4600 Boy, I have NO idea. Since I became a "product" (PC) marketing specialist, I haven't even ordered any manuals for myself. We DO have a look-up system ("BOIS" - Branch Office Information System), but I have NO idea where you go to actually ORDER manuals. I'll bet this is a question the main IBM operators get all the time - you might just call 245-2000 and see if they know. I'll be out at customers. Msg 46593 is 11 line(s) on 03/06/94 from BENJAMIN COHEN to PAUL STREETER re: R/STACK.COM Dunno much about STACK.COM, but 4DOS (a version of which comes with Norto Utilities under the name NDOS) includes a better command line history than DOSKEY. It has sophisticated command line completion so that if you enter DIR and press up arrow it will bring backe the last command line that began with DIR. 4DOS has dozens of other useful features, including multiple commands on a single line, batch-to=memory files that are read into memory all at once instead of one line at a time, multiple arguments for most dos commands (copy this that andother b: copies all three specified files to b:), aliases, and echoes the names of deleted files (I can't believe that we're at DOS 6 - and Novell DOS 7 - and neither of them echoes the names of deleted files!). Go for it! Msg 46594 is 19 line(s) on 03/08/94 from ROY LIPSCOMB to ALL re: ALZHEIMER'S AND OLD PCS Jim Coates wrote about aging CMOS batteries last Sunday in the Tribune. Here's a note I emailed to him in response: jcoats1@aol.com /R I saw your article (about aging CMOS batteries) in the Chicago TRIBUNE, Another problem with very old PCs that is starting to appear is hard-disk demagnetization. A few months ago, my PC began to act strange. It would pause during the access of a certain file on the hard disk; make a long, slow seek (evidentally to the diagnostic cylinder); then slowly seek back and continue reading the file. Two days ago, I noticed the same symptom on a friend's computer. In both cases, a check of the FAT map showed that there were no clusters near the hub for either of the files in question. Both our machines are about nine or ten years old. I completely cured the problem on my machine by simply running SPINRITE, and I hope to do the same for my friend's machine very soon. Thanks for bringing the CMOS battery problem to our attention.

They must be picked up in Lake Forest-I cannot ship! Possibly some manuals also. Here is a chance to acquire a piece of history-the price is right!
