I'm having a problem with my Mach32 Ultra+ and Windows Projector files.
Many multimedia presentations, demos, and now even some demos are using
projector. I have the same problem with all of them: a portion of the
screen will be shifted on both sides, messing up the picture.
My screen...
1 --------------------
2 - x x x -
3 - x x x -
4 - x x x -
5 - x x x -
6 - x x x -
7 --------------------
Here, line 5 shows what happens to my projector files, although I've
seen the problem in all parts of the screen.
My projector files also loose palette control sometimes, making the
colors look nasty. I then ALT+TAB to another application, then come
back, and the redraw usually gives the Projector file palette control
again.
Have anyone heard of this error before? Do you know how to fix it?
Is there a setting I can insert into WIN.INI or SYSTEM.INI to help
Projector files and my Ultra+ get along?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Jeremy in Chicago.

Dear Wee
Could you supply me with a Mitsumi controller card for a FX001D?
My friend gave me the drive from his new Zeos, but my SBPro 2
doesn't interface with it.
How much would shipping be to Japan? My guess is more than the price
of the card, but I can't seem to get one locally.
I can send dollar TCs crossed and payable to you, or a bank account
of your choice.
Thanks
David

Nancy this is really a windows problem not a problem with the disc. What your
going to have to do is start up your computer with just Himem.sys and other
needed info. ie no TSRs, no emm386.exe, no drivers except your CD Rom driver.
Start windows and close all programs currently running.Try the disc again and
if you still get the same problems, reboot your system the same way. This time
before you start the offending disk go to the file menu choose the run
selection and type drwatson.exe. This will run a diagnostic program. After
you get your general protection fault close windows down and look for a file
called drwatson.log, it should be in your windows directory. Now write a new
message at the start of the file (include all the info as well) explaining your
problem and upload it to the windows forum on the bbs you call. There are some
very good people in the forum who might be able to help you.

NZ> service and prices. Now I'm looking for a

NZ> The only catch is this: Can I mount it and install it for download by my

For the Mac files to be useful to a Mac user after being downloaded from a
PC based BBS system they must be stored in MacBinary or Binhexed format on the
PC system. This is because the Mac maintains the integrity of the resource and
data forks of the native Mac format file, PC's don't understand this so (unless
converted) the file is junk when it gets to the Mac. I have only seen one Mac
shareware disk set up for the PC and it was (in my opinion) junk.
For our Solar-1 Renewable Energy CDROM I copied the files from my BBS's Mac
files areas onto a one-off CD from which we made the master. The files on my
BBS were gleened from various Mac shareware collections which, after virus
testing, were compressed (w/ Stuffit) and then MacBinaried before storage on my
PC based LAN. Our CD contains 135 compressed meg of Mac software (650 files)
catagorized into about 8 directories (each has a FILES.BBS consisting of the
filename and a brief description). Probably not what you want but likely as
close as you'll get. The Mac stuff on our CD is primarily there for the folks
who bought it for the energy related stuff and for sysops looking for a small
collection of MacBinaried Mac files to "salt" their system with to catch the
interest of the Mac community.
If you DO find a good CD full of MacBinaried files please let me know.

They did, but Pioneer discontinued them almost a year ago now.
If you watch the echos here, you'll see used ones pop-up here from

No problem, just pull your joystick forward, press fire, backward, fire
left, fire and right, fire, when the Lucasarts logo appears...
If it doesn't work, try right, left instead of left, right (my memory :) )
In the game you can skip every part by pressing ESC... There are some other
keys, but I don't remember what they are doing. Just try...
And the codes shouldn't be a problem then... ;)

world looking over your shoulders, including folks from various law enforcement
agencies, and several employees of Quarterdeck, Inc. who are active on Fidonet.
(I'm not one of either of these groups!) This is meant as helpful advice, not
a flame.
TG>Hi Mark!....I'm Tommy Gulizio and i'm a home ridden cancer patient
That is very unfortunate, and you have my sympathy; I lost my mother and
several friends not long ago to cancer. It's a tough one. But ... getting back
to your message to Mark:
TG>great flight games.Thers only one problem.The manual of
TG>FALCON3.0 says the best memory manager to use in order for me to
TG>free up 604K from my 4megs of ram is QEMM.
"Best" is a subjective term, usually. But I happen to agree with this comment.
Perhaps you are not aware that QEMM can be purchased by itself, or as part of
the DESQview 386 package, commercial products of Quarterdeck, and found in many
stores or by mail/phone order. This means that your request:
TG>So i was wondering "is it possible i can get a copy of QEMM from
TG>you. Like UPLOAD IT to me
puts you at risk, your friend at risk, your sysop at risk, his/her BBS at risk,
and this echo at risk, for the punishment of the crime of pirating such
software. Not such a bargain after all. If all you have is that cheap
imitation of a memory manager that comes with DOS, use it until you can afford
to buy one of the commercial packages; QEMM is one of several. Some folks
struggling by with EMM find relief with different boot configurations, with
different TSRs etc. in each. I've got about 12 different ones myself, even
though I use QEMM.
TG> cause with all this chemotherapy i can't travel at all
That's regretable, but really has nothing to do with the crime of piracy. Let
your fingers do your walking. Quarterdeck advertises in nearly everything, and
will even sell direct; call (310) 392-9851. Don't compound your problems,
please.

Greg;
I found the solution.
The connector from the CDROM to the SB is wrong.
Take a sharp object and try to slip out the pins on the connector
so that if they are
1 2 3 4
Change them to
4 3 2 1
This will make it work. It worked for me.
No more worries.

What version of Dos are you running? You can use Dos's memmaker to free
up conventional memory. Of course, QEMM works better that memmaker. The
latest version of QEMM is 7.04. If you at least have Dos 6.0, use memmaker
to get, what is it like 615k of conventional? Try it while your looking for
QEMM.

Don't know if you know this or not but, QEMM is a copyrighted program from
Quarterdeck. It would be illegal for him to send you a copy of it. What
you can do in the meantime is to use Dos's memmaker if you have at least
dos 6.0. It should at least free up conventional memory above 604k that you
need. Of course if your running a lot of tsr's, memmaker isn't powerful
enough to move stuff above the base 640k.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
Hello Joe!
I have a copy of Map N' Go and agree with your review. It is a VERY
good product, and the price was right too. Got mine at Sams Club for
$34.95. There is a MAJOR bug in the program though. It doesn't work
well with an HP Deskjet printer using the latest HP drivers. It took me
several hours to print out a 600 mile trip. With the latest HP drivers,
it won't start printing until all the pages of the map are processed for
printing. So if you have 10-12 pages of maps, it has to process all 12
pages BEFORE it will print the first one. I am running Map N' Go on a
486/66 DX2 with 8 meg of ram. It takes approximately 15 minutes for it
to process 1 page, and like I said, that is just to process it....not
print it. Numerous times after processing several pages, it would crap
out, caused by a problem between Map N' Go and the HP drivers. So the
hour or 2 that you were processing the route for printing was wasted
because you have to start all over again and haven't got one printed
page yet. Then you get the same problem again and again, but if you try
enough times, eventually it will print. I worked on one trip off and on
(mostly on) for 12 hours before I finally got my maps to print. I
called Tech Support, and they blame it on the HP drivers. I have
one of their other products, Street Atlas USA version 2, which came out
long before Map N' Go, and using the same HP drivers, I have NO problem
printing. So the problem is with Map N' Go, not with the HP drivers and
delorme doesn't seem interested in fixing the problem.

Lots of computer stores here. Perhaps 12 within a few miles that
sell CD-ROMs and one has some rentals (mostly educational titles).
Have you tried any of the magazine CD-ROMs with demos? Sometimes a demo
does not tell you what you would like to know about a CD but at least
you can check the quality of the graphics on your own computer.
Are you looking for games or information CD-ROMs?

Mike!
Let me try again. If I got a non-SCSI Mitsumi 2x CD-ROM drive,
can I redirect sound from the CD-ROM to the Pro Audio Basic
through a cable?

I have never seen a Mitsumi 2x CD-ROM or a Pro Audio Basic. I am
not talking about drive controller interfacing. I believe I am
thinking along in the lines of audio redirection.
Does what I am asking make better sense, now?
Thanks for your help.

I also depended on reviews for shareware disks - until I found 3 reliably
quality series to depend on. Can't talk about reviews of non-shareware
oriented disks, as I don't use them. In my opinion, the 3 best series (in
order of MY preference) are:
1. Cream Of The Crop
2. Night Owl
3. The Pier
Quality seems to fall significantly with other disks I've looked at.

Hi Ken! Slight misunderstanding (or my poor typing) - I didn't adjust
any of the volume controls in the mixer - there is another "lever" that
does something called gain (I think) - I have no idea what that is, but
someone told me to set it higher and it worked.
I have mixed feelings about T7G. Great graphics and some of the puzzles
were very good....some are ridiculously difficult and the frustration
spoils the game. I'm about half way through I think. I am at the
notorious microscope puzzle which people say is nearly impossible to
beat. I need this? <grin> Anyway, I am taking a break from it before it
drives me nuts.

CD-ROM Review: Chestnut's "The Complete Bookshop"
by John Husvar
jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu
Welllll...not _quite_ complete. They don't have the entire Library of
Congress on there. that's what _I_ would call complete but, then, I'm
a voracious reader. Shucks, I read milk cartons and cereal boxes fer
cryin' out loud, even, occasionally, junk mail! Neither Chestnut nor
anyone else could produce a literature CD that I would call complete.
But, then, there aren't any 5.25 _foot_ 20-spin CD-ROM drives out
there either.
Consider that praising with faint damnation. This isn't a bad
collection as far as it goes and it goes pretty far. I hope Chestnut
will continue to develop it and fill up more disk space on future
editions. According to dir/s, it's up to 205 Mb so far and there are
more public domain and shareware electronic text works being released
almost daily.
Just a few of the directories cover Alcohol and Brewing, including
mixing guides, Cooking, Computing, the Compuchef program, Great
Literature, Health and Nutrition, How-To, Poetry, etc., etc., etc.
There's a set of archive and miscellaneous utilities at hand as well.
In the Great Literature directory (Greatlit) one finds the Aeneid,
Aesop's Fables in a couple of versions, Shakespeare in text and
learning programs, The Rosicrucian Mysteries,(!) and a great lot more,
much of which I sampled by simply opening the .TXT files with a word
processor and reading away. Failing that, a little effort to copy to
hard-disc and unarchive frees up those files for reading.
In the Misc directory you find things like; The Great Wisdom of the
Ages, organized as an electronic book with 81 categories; There and
Back Again, a cute basic trainer for orienteering in the woods _or_
the city; Readings on Cyber-crime; A basic Legal Information file, and
more.
If or when I ever find a Literature CD that's full I may never get
away from my computer again. This one has kept me peering through my
bifocals for many hours so far.
Most of the programmed files I tried worked fine right off the CD
drive, although those that require writing files obviously wouldn't.
You have to copy those to HD, unpack, and run. Those worked too,
though. Your Mileage May Vary, of course. Shareware authors can't test
on every platform in the world but most try to keep it simple enough
to cover most configurations.
Using the thing is easy; log in to your CD-Drive, type "go," and
follow the directions. It might have made more sense to have the READ
ME instructions first on the menu instead of the View Program
Listings, but you don't _have_ to read first to check out the
listings. It will help, though, to read those instructions when it
comes time to unpack things, especially if, like me, you're not a DOS
guru.
It would be impossible to catalog the entire disc. Suffice it to say
that anyone will undoubtedly find something of interest, most probably
many things.
Looks like a winner to me, at least until that Library of Congress CD
comes out. (_and_ I can afford that 5.25-foot drive)

CD-ROM Review: Creative Multimedia's "Audubon's Birds" and "Audubon's
Mammals"
by John Husvar
jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu
It was the 19th Century, the age of high adventure, exploration, and
the travelling Natural Philosopher. John James Audubon came to the
burgeoning, still young, United States from France to make his fortune
in business. Failing in that, he devoted himself to his interest in
studying and banding birds around his family's estate near
Philadelphia, studying migratory patterns and making paintings of his
subjects.
In that adventurous age, scientists, (Natural Philosophers or Natural
Historians they were called then.) went personally into virgin
wilderness to collect data and advance their knowledge. It was an
adventurer's and a gambler's' approach to research. Scholars roamed on
extended expeditions with (by contemporary standards) primitive and
often dangerous equipment into little known and hazardous realms.
Scientific reputations were made and lost over discovering new
species, describing them and publishing. The> se works convey that
sensibility and sense of adventure. Indiana Jones might have seemed a
little foppish to 19th Century researchers. He had airplanes and cars,
after all. (Really! Rather posh, what?)
Audubon was a gifted artist who painted portraits of his subjects in
their natural habitats. He published "Birds of America," a collection
of 500 full-color lithographs in 1840-44. Later, he collaborated with
Rev. Bachman to produce his 150-lithograph work, "Quadrupeds of North
America." He kept copious notes and diaries of his travels. The text
on these CDs is fully as intriguing as the illustrations, maybe more
so. His writings detail the appearance and habits, the anatomy, and
the habitats of the birds> and mammals he studied and his experiences
discovering and studying them. They often read like an old adventure
novel though the 19th Century style is a bit stilted to my taste.
Audubon's penchant for detail and vivid description still, more than
150 years later, capture the imagination and hold your interest.
Both CDs contain the complete text and illustrations of the "Octavo"
editions. The digital illustrations are as adequate to reproducing
Audubon's magnificent paintings as 640 by 480 resolution can be. The
real lithographs are gorgeous, even in print reproductions; the
digital reproduction successfully conveys most of that quality.
You should remember that zoology and ornithology have changed since
the middle 1800s. Taxonomy has been subjected to the "lumpers and
splitters" many times and some of Audubon's birds and animals probably
have new scientific names and classifications. As well, some of the
tactics 19th Century naturalists used might grate a little on
contemporary, more environmentalistic, sensibilities. Then, it was an
accepted technique to kill animals to secure study specimens. Few
species, that anyone knew of, faced ext> inction. Lack of knowledge
about many species and their abundance, rather, often relegated many
to the status of pests or outright hazards to advancing settlement.
Many species, like mountain lions, the great bears, and wolves were
specifically targeted for elimination as detrimental to farming or
ranching. Plains Bison herds were slaughtered for food, hides, and,
some historians claim, later to weaken the plains tribes. Trapping
fur-bearers and hunting birds for their plu! mage was an honorable big
business.
Bird calls and animal sounds accompany the text and pictures,
recordings provided courtesy of Cornell University's Library of
Natural Sounds. These add a certain cachet to the illustrations and a
lot of interest to the experience. Unfortunately only 116 of the bird
and 47 of the animal plates are accompanied by sound clips. It's
particularly nice to view a color plate and listen to the sound clip
simultaneously.
These CDs suffer from their interface. I'd like to see them reissued
with a more attractive, snappier, modern front end. The proprietary
Disc Passage interface is powerful, with its search engine that can
report any occurrence of any word on the disc; maybe too many
occurrences if your criterion is too broad. But the DOS-based
interface is also less than compelling when even shareware catalogs
now have game-like interfaces, hyper-linked text, and point-and-click
selection. CD technology has advanced a lot> since these CDs original
1990-91 publication. Audubon's works deserve an interface that will
draw to them their due and proper attention.
Looking through the CD-ROM of CD-ROMS, I see that Creative Multimedia
publishes mainly collections of medical journals, some literature, and
a few games. Disc Passage seems appropriate for technical journals
with its capabilities. Even on the Shakespeare titles, it probably
benefits researchers; but these CDs deserve a more attractive
entrance.

Generally there is at least two reason for discs getting stucked
inside the changer.
1: If You transport the drive with a magasin with discs loaded and
they sort of fall into the drive, if this is the case You can expect to
have to pay for the labour.
2: If it stucks in another way You may be lucky to get away with it if the
warranty hasn't expired.

MC> HI!
MC> Where Can I get a $49 cd rom? I see you guys talking about it.
MC> Is it a big problem setting up? I have two cd roms now, but both
MC> are scsi drives. How much memory does the driver take?
Well, the single speeds are ok but they are slow. The drivers take very
limited amount of memory. If you use the software setup you won't have to
worry about any IRQ problems or clashes.
These are the things you need before getting one. 1 open 16 bit expansion
port, and a big power cable, and one bay (not necessary but better).
I won't sell those $49 dollar cd-rom's cause I have no idea who or what makes
them, DAK sells them, but that means nothing on where they come from, sort of
like JC Whitney.
I sell the Mitsumi 2x spin CD-ROM's for $155. If you are interested, let me
know.

Hi Dave. Thanks for the advice and butt in anytime. The chip you mentioned
(486-DLC) is exactly the one I have. I'm seriously thinking of upgrading to an
Intel chip. Will this make a difference? Also, what effect will disabling the
caching have on the rest of my computer? (if anything)
P.S - At last, a technician! Would you mind if I asked for your advice now and

Hello out there in lotus land! This is the first time I've tried to post a
message so here goes.
My family and I are looking for another dog for a family pet (the dog we have
now is 15 years old and not in to good of health, blind in both eyes, going
deaf and has arthritis in his back). The pet we have is a toy poodle and has
been a very good pet but he was raised before our two boys (aged 6 & 8). We are
thinking of getting either a Norwegian Elk Hound or a Blue Heeler. Now my
question to you out there is, can anybody give me some information on these two
breeds as to: will they be good family pets,
are they good with kids,
can they be treated as an inside pet versus an outside pet
how easy/hard are they to train for obediance/protection
how big will they get once full grown
any other information you could supply me and my family would
be greatfully appreciated.
thank you

CD-ROM Review: Aris Entertainment's "Americana"
by John Husvar
jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu
Load up the car, Mabel! We're gonna use up some of those warranty miles!
Stuff the kids in the back seat and some food in their mouths. No, we're
not there yet!
Aris' "Americana" offering in their MediaClips(TM) series takes you on a
desktop trip around the USA in 100 clips and 25 movies, literally from
Maine
to California. All the biggies are here, Mount Rushmore, Washington DC,
the Grand Canyon, the Gateway Arch in St. Louis but the real treats for
me
were the backwaters, those off-the-path places you come upon
unexpectedly
that make you stop the car and just rest your eyes. There is a great
shot of
a lake in Vermont; covered bridges and barns and farms offer a break
from the
raft of travelogue pictures.
The photos are very solid and avoid cliche treatments. The photographer,
Roger Goldingay, has a fine eye and sense of composition. A couple of
the
backlit shots could have used a stop more exposure, but that's a choice
between absolute subject clarity and dramatic lighting, a judgment call.
To call this one a "coffee-table book on CD" would be an insult. In my
opinion,
it's Aris' overall best of the MediaClips series. It would be a good
addition
to a multimedia producer's library and is just fine as pure
entertainment.
For educational use, the informational text is detailed enough for young
students and might pique their interest in further study. I'm an
information
junkie anyway; so the more, the better.
What I found most intriguing were Goldingay's "Photographer's Log" notes
Aris included in the information text boxes. They transmit the openness
and wonder that are essential in an artist and storyteller. Quite
refreshing.
Functionally, the disc is clean and crisp. Everything works as
advertised.
Using the programs is straight GUI in Windows, point and click. The
command
bar is mostly intuitive and includes random access by thumbnail
sketches or
search string. While the thumbnails are small, after just one or two
run-throughs, they are clear enough to allow you to pick out a desired
image
pretty easily. The on-line helps are adequate and cover some basic
troubleshooting tips although their suggestions didn't entirely cure my
sound breakup in the movies.
Installation was Aris' usual no-brainer for minimal-brainer users like
me,
slip in the disc, log in to it in File Manager, double-click setup.exe.
The only thing you have to do is tell it where to put the files and
whether
you want to read the readme file. Setup.exe creates the program group
and
icons.
As with all their MediaClips products, Aris addresses the buyer's
probable wish
to do more than just view the images. They supply all 100 files in 8-bit
320 X 240 and 640 X 480 BMP and PCX formats, 24-bit TIFF for use in
high-res
paint programs, and their audio in both WAV and VOC formats. They also
extend
on-the-box permission to reproduce up to 20% of the images sounds or
videos
royalty-free in print or digital publications so long as the artists
and Aris
Entertainment's copyright are duly credited.
Anyone wanting higher-resolution copies of pictures, movies, or sounds
can
contact Aris Entertainment who will then put them in touch with the
artists so
they can negotiate rights, etc.

CD-ROM Review
Aris Entertainment's Animal Kingdom
by John P. Husvar
jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu
They're animals, I tell you, all animals!
And they are. This selection from Aris' MediaClips (TM) series takes
you all around the world for a good overview of four-legged, winged,
and two-legged (with a bit of knuckle-walking) creatures. You get
apes, lizards, penguins, lions and tigers and bears, (Oh, my!) and a
lot more.
In 100 pictures, it's obviously not an exhaustive collection; there
are a lot more animals than that. But it's not meant to be a Zoology
text. It's a collection of clips for someone who might want to produce
one, or another kind of work where some wildlife pictures might fit.
These would fit in very nicely.
The pictures are all high-quality, many taken by professional
wildlife photographers, researchers and possibly some very good
amateurs. I didn't find one that wouldn't be usable. The collection is
restricted to land animals and birds, although some live near water
and swim or wade to hunt.
I was particularly impressed with the informational text this time.
There's enough so that you get a decent understanding of each animal's
habitat, habits, and location. Aris throws in some occasional nice
details that qualify as quirky bits to pique the interest. This CD
would work as nicely as a supplement for the kids' term paper research
at the elementary to middle school level as it does as a clip
collection. It's certainly not an encyclopedia of ethology, but it is
a lot more informative than some of Aris' other offerings. Since I've
criticized the poverty of information on other Aris CDs, this one is a
nice change that I hope indicates a trend.
The search function works well. It'll find by keyword, filename,
general description, even by color name. While one or two searches
turned up pictures that didn't quite seem to fit, I always found the
keyword I typed into the search dialog box somewhere in the
information box text. You get a list of all the picture files that
contain the word so you do have to look manually a little. Of course,
the more specific the criterion, the more accurate the find. Filename
or specific animal name searches worked best for me, usually yielding
only the one or two pictures I was looking for.
The slide show would make one heck of a screen saver and any of the
pictures would be nice wallpaper. In fact, Aris could do us and
themselves a favor by developing such a function for use with their
CDs. Well, I'd buy it anyway.
I really didn't find much to complain about in this collection.
Everything worked, the pictures are clear and sharp, and the
information was, at least, adequate for casual curiosity. (You can
always buy an encyclopedia CD or trundle off to the local library for
exhaustive information, after all.)
What this collection did was leave me wanting more, a characteristic
that shouldn't hurt Aris' sales a bit.
As with all their MediaClips products, Aris addresses the buyer's
probable wish to do more than just view the images. They supply all
100 files in 8-bit 320 X 240 and 640 X 480 BMP and PCX formats, 24-bit

Do you know how to divert the water flow from the pump by the windmill to
different places? I hope so ...
To leave Channelwood.....
Find a section of bridge (on the bottom, not between the treehouses) that is
missing, with a continuation on the other side ... But no pipes that would
cross it ....
Divert the water flow to the motor right next to the missing section, then
activate the motor. It will raise a section of bridge to fill the gap. Cross
this, and find a motor on the other side that is near another missing
section. Cranking this crank will extend a section of pipe across this
section. You then have to go back across the section of bridge that you'd
raised earlier, and divert the water flow to the pipe that you just extended.
Then go back to that area and go to the elevator that can only be reached by
crossing the section of bridge that you raised. Go up in the elevator and
you'll get out in front of a book that takes you back to the main island.
Hope this helps!!!!

If you can't see that promoting one's product in the guise (no insult intended
here) of it being a review MIGHT be construed as a predjudiced posting, then
I'm sorry. I picked no particular bones with your comments, only that it is
inappropriate for a publsher to give a straight A report card to his own
product. I've never seen your disk and have no idea how valid your
descriptions are. I expect Ford to say they make great cars, Betty Crocker
great cakes - that doesn't mean that one automatically takes as gospel what the
MANUFACTURER touts as fact. Simple point. I don't even know you, so I
certainly wouldn't go in or out of my way to call you a liar. The fact will
ALWAYS remain that reviews are subjective - by definition, they can't be
anything else. It will always (in my eyes - as I'm sure in many others as
well) look suspect when the person/organization who will benefit most from the
sale of a product praises it. It might be better advised for you to get an
objective (read: not monetarily related to you) review of your disk and have
that posted instead. If this doesn't make sense to you, that I'm at a loss of
how else to explain it.

I can't believe that what I said stung that much. I will do you the courtesy
of not commenting on any of your reviews again - though the last batch was the
first I've seen from you in this echo in the 3 years or so I've been following
it. Kindly take to heart what I said above and don't go out of your way to be
insulted when I was just stating my viewpoint.

Mike,
I know that a friend of mine had an old single speed Chinon that came with
a cleaning disk, and that his new Chinon 535 (also what I have) did not.
When you read the manual, it says it is self cleaning.
The cleaning disk is simply a fuzzy surface that rubs against the Laser
LED and rubs off the lint and dust so it can "see" again.
I would say that if your old CDROM drive starts acting erratically, you
should feel safe in using a cleaning disk, but I would not make it a
regular thing. The "lens" of the LED, as well as the light sensor, are
optical plastic, and as we all know, plastic scratches easily.
If you have a factory or sales 800 number for tech support, I would
suggest calling them to ask about cleaning if you are having trouble,
otherwise, don't clean it.

dont really know where you at, but to get the clock to work push the hands to

I have one and am happy with it so far. It is so much faster than my 2x that
is is incredable. The one I have is external and is connected via an external
port on a SCSI card. Some typical SCSI problems with card compatability, but
that is not the drive's problem. Had some difficulty getting both the PC AND
MAC drivers. So far, I am impressed. It should be available at far less than
$529 for the internal.

No problem. Run the thin audio cable from the back of the drive to
the hook up on the sound card. A word of caution. The pinouts are
different from drive to drive and sound card to sound card. Look at
both and the documentation an both to see what is Left, Right, and
Ground.

What version of Dos are you running? You can use Dos's memmaker to free
up conventional memory. Of course, QEMM works better that memmaker. The
latest version of QEMM is 7.04. If you at least have Dos 6.0, use memmaker
to get, what is it like 615k of conventional? Try it while your looking for

CD-ROM REVIEWS
------------------------------------------------------------------
CD Guide Optical Edition
by
Tony Thomas
Putting a music CD guide on CD-ROM seems like a logical idea. Having
information on thousands of audio CD titles at your fingertips can be
a great convenience when doing research or for seeing what's
available. WGE's CD Guide falls far short of delivering the goods,
however.
First of all, to my surprise, after paying about $40 for this disc, I
found that about half of the reviews were "locked" up tight due to an
encryption scheme. What do you have to do to unlock them? Simply
pick up the phone and have a credit card handy. $14.95 later, you'll
get the secret code to unlock these reviews. (Something that I refuse
to do!)
Although password encryption has been commonplace in the CD-ROM world
for expensive applications and for product delivery (as in the case of
the very expensive Adobe type library), I believe that using them in
low end applications like the CD Guide is tantamount to extortion. It
is a dangerous trend that should be resisted at all costs.
To make matters worse, the disc is full of advertising in the way of a
handful of audio snippets and album cover graphics from companies that
presumably paid for the privilege. There are also a number of
outright ads from CD accessories manufacturers and various other
companies as well. Certainly being subjected to all this paid
advertising should earn me a password to unlock all the encrypted
reviews! (Where's my Superman secret code ring when I need it?)
To make matters still worse, the reviews that are there are too short
and sketchy and there aren't many of them. Usually, all you get is
the artist, title, label, and little else. Oh yes, sometimes you get
an American Bandstand-esque 1 to 10 magazine rating and a similar
reader rating for performance and sound quality. I would rather have
an in depth review to support the numbers. Such things as album
producer(s), engineer(s), studio(s) and musician lineups are sorely
missing. The disc's search engine is unbearably slow (it seems to be
run time Clipper code) and I got "out of environment space" errors
even after increasing my computer's environment space to huge levels.
The information you get from the CD Guide can be found in Schwann and
Schwann Spectrum at a much lower price. Plus, the information will be
much more up to date. For reviews there's always Rolling Stone,
Stereo Review, Audio and the paper version of the CD Guide and similar
publications (plus a number of great books). The CD Guide is a great
concept that fails miserably in this implementation.

that SCSI and IDE are not the same thing. If you read my original letter again
you would recognize that I was asking two distinct questions.
I am fully aware that my NEC drive is a SCSI-I drive. But I am also aware that
a number of manufacturers, such as Sony, have announced drives which are
supposed to use the "standard" IDE controllers most Intel-based computers have.
I got this information directly from a press release in a very recent
CD-related publication.
Thanks for your reply, though.

Andrew,
I am interested in Shareware Disc's. I see you have some to offer and
at reasonable prices. I would like to know what the shipping cost is
for one and two discs. I am interested in UPS on the ground shipping

I am interested in the Shareware, DOOM add on .wad's and some disc's
about History. I have a few now. I have the US HISTORY which was
sent to me in a package when I bought my cdrom driver through the
mail. I really enjoy reading. And mainly regarding true events.
I have a disc with twenty-six volumes of The History of the Old West.
I enjoy that one.
I like to fool with the shareware files. I don't have a BBS here, and
I can't afford to download on line for very long as all calls are long
distance.
I have:
Night Owl 12
Software Vault Ruby
Software Vault Plantium
Simtel-20
I had Pier5 but it was defective and I have sent it back to the
manufacturer. That was two weeks ago. I haven't heard from them yet.
I could only copy a few of it's files from the disc to my hard drive.
Which was really frustrating, as there were many interesting files on
it.
Until they do me right with it, or at least prove to me their disc is
of quality. I will not purchase anymore of them.
I can't afford too. I have to save my allowence for two or three
weeks to buy one and I can't spare the money.
I have seen some ads in this echo which seems interesting. I need to
learn of them. I would like to find one or two which will give me a
decent price and service.
I imagine I have much to learn, as I bought a disc and then the next
day I saw an ad which had the same disc for six dollars less in price
advertised here, and to beat it all, it was from the same place I
bought my disc from...... I noticed the ad date was a few days
earlier than when I phoned and was quoted a price.
That seems odd to me. I understand a business has to make money, but
this seem wrong to me. This is what I mean, by finding a place to
purchase my disc from which will treat me right.
Thank you for your reply. It is good to hear from someone. I am
alone here with my computer interest. There isn't another pc user
here who I know of.
You seem like a nice person.

Yes, I am very interested in this. I will attempt to call and order
it. Thank you for taking the time to answer me.
I bought a doom companion and it wasn't what I wanted. This was a bad
burn for me. But of course it is my fault for not knowing what it did
and didn't contain. Thus is the reason I wrote asking you.
I certainly appreciate your post.
I will be talking to you in the next few days. You can hold one for
me. I will order it. My word is good. I am also on the look out for
a decent Shareware one. You might make an suggestion on one.
I have Night Owl 13, Software Vault Ruby and Software Vault Platium.
I had Pier5 but it was defective and I sent it to the Pier Exchange
for examination. I have not heard from them, and I am reluctant to
try thier stuff out. I liked their file choices, but I couldn't get
their interface program to work, and the disc wouldn't allow me to
copy the files from it through DOS as all my others will.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I don't think that Night Owl 14 is out yet. I believe some of the
dealers are taking orders now, so when it comes out yours will be
shipped quicker.
I just bought Night Owl 13 and it contains many good files from my
point of interest. If you would like to know of which files it has,
you can ask me. Be mindful it does contain thousands of programs.
You can call Billy Harless on his toll free number. He sells the
Night Owl editions and he has provided me with good service.
He can tell you about Night Owl 14 and it's tenitive release date. I
am interested in it also.
His number is: 800-673-3241
Sorry I couldn't provide better information. But I am sort of new at

Thank you very much. This is great news. I use a 14,400 modem. Also
I only am familiar with the Bluewave Door. I will certainly call the

I use, then this could be a real improvement for me and my billfold.

JR> @MSGID: 1:157/479 47bdae2b
JR> CD-ROM Review: Creative Multimedia's "Audubon's Birds" and "Audubon's
JR> Mammals"
JR> by John Husvar
JR> jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu
JR> It was the 19th Century, the age of high adventure, exploration, and
JR> the travelling Natural Philosopher. John James Audubon came to the
JR> burgeoning, still young, United States from France to make his fortune
JR> in business. Failing in that, he devoted himself to his interest in
JR> studying and banding birds around his family's estate near
JR> Philadelphia, studying migratory patterns and making paintings of his
JR> subjects.
JR> In that adventurous age, scientists, (Natural Philosophers or Natural
JR> Historians they were called then.) went personally into virgin
JR> wilderness to collect data and advance their knowledge. It was an
JR> adventurer's and a gambler's' approach to research. Scholars roamed on
JR> extended expeditions with (by contemporary standards) primitive and
JR> often dangerous equipment into little known and hazardous realms.
JR> Scientific reputations were made and lost over discovering new
JR> species, describing them and publishing. The> se works convey that
JR> sensibility and sense of adventure. Indiana Jones might have seemed a
JR> little foppish to 19th Century researchers. He had airplanes and cars,
JR> after all. (Really! Rather posh, what?)
JR> Audubon was a gifted artist who painted portraits of his subjects in
JR> their natural habitats. He published "Birds of America," a collection
JR> of 500 full-color lithographs in 1840-44. Later, he collaborated with
JR> Rev. Bachman to produce his 150-lithograph work, "Quadrupeds of North
JR> America." He kept copious notes and diaries of his travels. The text
JR> on these CDs is fully as intriguing as the illustrations, maybe more
JR> so. His writings detail the appearance and habits, the anatomy, and
JR> the habitats of the birds> and mammals he studied and his experiences
JR> discovering and studying them. They often read like an old adventure
JR> novel though the 19th Century style is a bit stilted to my taste.
JR> Audubon's penchant for detail and vivid description still, more than
JR> 150 years later, capture the imagination and hold your interest.
JR> Both CDs contain the complete text and illustrations of the "Octavo"
JR> editions. The digital illustrations are as adequate to reproducing
JR> Audubon's magnificent paintings as 640 by 480 resolution can be. The
JR> real lithographs are gorgeous, even in print reproductions; the
JR> digital reproduction successfully conveys most of that quality.
JR> You should remember that zoology and ornithology have changed since
JR> the middle 1800s. Taxonomy has been subjected to the "lumpers and
JR> splitters" many times and some of Audubon's birds and animals probably
JR> have new scientific names and classifications. As well, some of the
JR> tactics 19th Century naturalists used might grate a little on
JR> contemporary, more environmentalistic, sensibilities. Then, it was an
JR> accepted technique to kill animals to secure study specimens. Few
JR> species, that anyone knew of, faced ext> inction. Lack of knowledge
JR> about many species and their abundance, rather, often relegated many
JR> to the status of pests or outright hazards to advancing settlement.
JR> Many species, like mountain lions, the great bears, and wolves were
JR> specifically targeted for elimination as detrimental to farming or
JR> ranching. Plains Bison herds were slaughtered for food, hides, and,
JR> some historians claim, later to weaken the plains tribes. Trapping
JR> fur-bearers and hunting birds for their plu! mage was an honorable big
JR> business.
JR> Bird calls and animal sounds accompany the text and pictures,
JR> recordings provided courtesy of Cornell University's Library of
JR> Natural Sounds. These add a certain cachet to the illustrations and a
JR> lot of interest to the experience. Unfortunately only 116 of the bird
JR> and 47 of the animal plates are accompanied by sound clips. It's
JR> particularly nice to view a color plate and listen to the sound clip
JR> simultaneously.
JR> These CDs suffer from their interface. I'd like to see them reissued
JR> with a more attractive, snappier, modern front end. The proprietary
JR> Disc Passage interface is powerful, with its search engine that can
JR> report any occurrence of any word on the disc; maybe too many
JR> occurrences if your criterion is too broad. But the DOS-based
JR> interface is also less than compelling when even shareware catalogs
JR> now have game-like interfaces, hyper-linked text, and point-and-click
JR> selection. CD technology has advanced a lot> since these CDs original
JR> 1990-91 publication. Audubon's works deserve an interface that will
JR> draw to them their due and proper attention.
JR> Looking through the CD-ROM of CD-ROMS, I see that Creative Multimedia
JR> publishes mainly collections of medical journals, some literature, and
JR> a few games. Disc Passage seems appropriate for technical journals
JR> with its capabilities. Even on the Shakespeare titles, it probably
JR> benefits researchers; but these CDs deserve a more attractive
JR> entrance.

NZ>I was just wondering (as I stare at a smoldering Power Supply) how many CD
NZ>Drives can you put on a typical 200-250W power supply. Figure a 486 with
NZ>1 hard drive, floppy, 8MB RAM, and your average CD-ROM Drive(s).
Most CD-ROM drives come with pretty specific documentation that says how
many amperes they draw at +5 and +12 volts. Add those up, and compare
it to how much your power supply (see the label on it) is rated at. And
then try to allow for your other stuff in the system...

Dear Don,
Excuse me for not phoning, but by the time I get through telling you
everything over the phone, at Japanese rates, it'd be cheaper to
spend $200 on a new sound card! I don't use a dialback service:
apparently it's cheaper to phone Tokyo in the morning by telephoning
one of the US services that immediately phones you back with a US
dialtone. Then you pay the US international rate to Tokyo. My BBSing
friends use these services for all their international log-ons. It's
far cheaper than local compuserve access rates. Sorry, I'm a bit off
topic, but the price of living here is dizzying.
Thanks for the offer. I've broken US law and put $25 US in an
envelope and sent it to you. Wee Young's controller is advertised at
$10, so I hope $15 covers the air mailing. If it doesn't I will send
more... Today is Saturday, and Monday is a national holiday -
National Physical Education Day, if you can believe it. I've only
got $25 in the house, not counting Hong Kong dollars.If you get
this message before the cash, perhaps you may trust me and send it
sooner? If you don't, I understand. If you can't afford to lose, you
can't afford to gamble!
Mike Shannon at Starvector has already cheaply and efficiently
supplied me with a bunch of CD's. I think I am as eager as my
three-year-old son to try them out!
BTW I have the Mitsumi manual, which seems to cover the card.
I much appreciate your kind and speedy reply. There really is little
profit in it for you.

CD-ROM REPORT
Electronic Edition #1
Publisher/Editor: Tony Thomas
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
------
The Revolution Continues
It has been two years since I bought my first CD-ROM drive. It also has
been two years since I posted my first review to Usenet. In that period
of time, it has gone from an oddity to a staple. CD-ROM drives are now
bundled with many new computer systems and are commonly available as a
part of multimedia upgrade packages. Newer and faster drives are
becoming available just about every month. As a result, I've been
forced to keep up with the times and retire my trusty DAK/BSR/Sony drive
in favor of a Mitsumi double-speed model. While nowhere near
state-of-the-art, the Mitsumi FX001D is currently one of the most
popular double-speed drives and therefore makes a good "test bed" for
CD-ROMs. It is connected to a Orchid Soundwave 32 sound card and a pair
of Labtec CS-800 speakers. It is a decent, inexpensive multimedia
system that works pretty well, especially considering the Mitsumi has a
small buffer.
Anyway, this system will serve as the test system for all the reviews in
CD-ROM Report. Your mileage may vary. My goal for this publication
is to disseminate information about and reviews of CD-ROMs to the
worldwide electronic community. As I don't get paid for this
enterprise, issues will come out on a sporadic basis when I can find the
time to write them and when there are products to review and issues to
discuss. In fact, I've been on hiatus for the past few months due to
other commitments. Feel free to share your comments with me via E-Mail.
And if you have or know of a product worth reviewing, let me know.
Reviews
By now, most of you know I'm a big fan of Walnut Creek's products. I
feel they offer tremendous value for the dollars spent and are among the
finest currently available. Their CICA Windows and SIMTEL discs are
ones that spend a great deal of time in my drive. They are updated
quarterly and are the most up-to-date shareware discs I know of since
they are images of Internet archives. I like their new search engines a
lot, although I think that their Windows engine needs improvement.
Although the SIMTEL-20 site has disappeared, I believe that it's being
maintained by its mirror sites. Anyway, I think that the SIMTEL and
CICA discs are "must haves" if you are DOS/Windows user.
Some other discs from Walnut Creek worth checking out are:
Fractal Frenzy -Visions of Chaos #1: If you are into wild graphics
images, pick up this disc! These are FRACTINT derived images in both
640 x 480 and 1024 x 768 high resoluion GIF formats. Viewers are
included for PC, Mac, Windows, Next, Amiga, Atari, OS/2, SGI, Sparc,
X11 and DECStation. The 640 x 480 images are royalty free. Add them to
your artwork or presentations or use them for psychedelic screen savers.
Tax Info '93 CD-ROM : File an extension? Too lazy to get those '93
taxes? Then you need this disc to get you going. On it, you'll find
every conceivable form and schedule and software that will allow you to
send it to your laser printer. Sure beats hanging around the library of
post office groping for forms. My only suggestion is I wish they would
include the fulltext of some of the IRS handbooks and guides on future
versions of Tax Info.
Internet Info: Here is a disc I've been waiting for. If you're into
FAQs, you'll like it, too. It contains 12,000 documents including
Internet FAQs, information of computer security, discussion archives,
book reviews, maps, ftp site lists plus lots of info on computer
standards, networking and more. It's 9660 format with Rockridge
extensions. A great disc!
Clip-Art Cornucopeia: This disc contains 5,050 images in PCX and WPG
(Word Perfect) format from GEnie' GEnie's Wordperfect Roundtable. Most
are in the public domain and can be used freely. Catalogs of each
directory are available in PCX format. There are files for MAC users
and Picem for viewing the images on a PC. My only qualms about this
disc are that all the images seem to be 1-bit monochrome and I wish that
vector format (AI, EPS) images were also included. With a program like
HiJaak or Graphics Workshop, you can convert the images to TIFFs or just
about any other bitmap format you need. Still, it's a great addition to
a clipart library.
Get Walnut Creek's latest color catalog by calling 1-800-786-9907 or
1-510-674-0821. Their E-Mail address is: orders@cd-rom.com.
Another company worth mentioning is American Databanker's Corporation.
I recently received their Platinum Collection CD-ROM. It is one of the
best shareware collections currently on the market and, IMHO, has the
best DOS and Windows interface around. As far as content is concerned,
it is a well-balanced collection. All the major "food groups" are
represented. The files, however, aren't as fresh as you'll find on the
Walnut Creek discs which are updated quarterly. A fine disc!
Contact American Databankers at 1-918-497-1201.
One of the best bargains I've found recently is Sirius Publishing's Five
Foot Ten Pack. For $30, you get Doom (shareware version), Stellar 7,
Time: Man of the Year, Wayzata's World Fact Book, Aris' Best of Media
Clips, Software Tool Works' World Atlas, PC Karaoke Classics, CD-ROM of
CD-ROMs, Kings Quest V and PC Animotion Festival. At $3 a disc, you
can't complain. I think we'll see more of these kinds of bundles in the
future as a marketing vehicle to unload older versions of discs.
Contact Sirius at 1-602-951-3288.
And speaking of bargains, you might want to look at MEI's Shareware
Breakthrough series of discs. I bought a couple and found them to be a
good deal for $10. While you can find better collections for more $$$
in just about any of the areas the series covers, they are a good value.
I like their Windows interface which is non-invasive and easy to use.
At this writing, they are selling three of their older discs for $4.93
(Entertainment & Education, DTP and Utilities and Productivity). A no
brainer!
Contact MEI/Micro Center at 1-800-634-3478.
Another pretty decent shareware CD-ROM is Cream of the Crop. It doesn't
have as many categories as you find on most other shareware discs, but
it has a decent non-invasive DOS interface. With more and
better-defined categories, this could be a really decent disc. However,
if you are into shareware discs, this is a worthy addition to your
collection.
And since we are on the subject of shareware, I had the chance to check
out Damar's CD Powerbox and OS/2 Box. These are also pretty decent
shareware discs, although I didn't care for the Universal Interface on
the CD Powerbox since it didn't display file info unless you selected
the file first. The interface on OS/2 Box's interface is much better.
For information on Cream of the Crop, CD Powerbox and OS/2 Box, contact
config.sys, inc. at 1-800-6CONFIG or e-mail them at joe@config.com.
They will send you a complete catalog of programs.
Trends and Final Thoughts
I applaud Corel Corporation's move to offer a significant discount on
CD-ROM only versions of their products. This is a great inducement to
get more people to join the CD-ROM revolution! I hope that other
companies adopt this policy and offer value-added CD-ROMs at a lower
price.

Kudos also to PC Magazine who put out its first CD-ROM issue as a test
several months ago. At $15 or so, these discs sold out quickly (I
bought mine used). Best of all, these discs included a free copy of the
Adobe Acrobat reader, WinCIM, WinCMD, MONTOR and a mini version of
Computer Select with a year's worth of PC Magazine articles and reviews.
It is a great idea whose time has come.
Another worthy experiment is the OMB's release of the Clinton Budget on
CD-ROM. While not cheap at $30, it is a bargain compared to the cost of
the printed version. Files are in ASCII and Acrobat format. Scary
reading.
Kodak's Photo CD project seems to have foundered in the consumer market.
I saw a Photo drive for just $200 at Wal Mart. The pro market has been
kinder. It is a great concept that needs refinement. And just when I
bought a Photo CD compatible drive!
That's all for now!!

You can direct the audio from the CDROM to the Pro Audio or any sound
card which has a built in CDROM interface because chances are, that
if they have an interface, then they will also have an internal CD audio
connector. Now the problem with this is that there is currently NO
standard as to what these connectors look like. My old NEC 2X SCSI had
3 pins on the drive while the PAS has 5 pins for audio. My newer
Panasonic has 4 pins. I did make a custom cable for the NEC, but now I
just route route the Panasonic's audio signal externally (through the
line in on the back) from it's proprietary controller card. I might
decide to convert the old NEC cable to 4 pin. BTW, most CD drives and
audio connectors have 1 right and 1 left signal, and a ground (common)
signal. If you have a PAS board, you just have leave out 2 of the GND
signals. Hope this helps.

Pardon my intrusion, but I would also like to endorse the Gravis PC Gamepad.
It is the perfect thing for Doom, although I don't like it for flight

depending on the specific game - whichever works best for me for that game.

Option 1) Is it SCSI? DiscPort (advertised in the trade rags). Or just hang
it from a separate (SCSI) controller on your server and let CDROM.NLM do
the work.
Option 2) Personal NetWare (gets kind of expensive with more than a few
nodes) and a dedicated low-end PC.
Option 3) There is no Option 3)
Option 4) Call Panasonic and request the NetWare driver for the unit. When
they tell you there is none, scream, stamp your foot, and hold your breath
until your face turns blue. Note: I don't actually know that there is no
driver, but it's a fair guess.

Almost forgot: If you can get this thing sharing, there is a good Windows
menuing program that lets you automatically a) log users into the server
(which in this case would be the CD-ROM server) b) map a drive for them to
the appropriate disc, and c) execute the program, all with one button. I am
almost certain that I found it on CompuServe, in the Windows Shareware
forum - look under NWMENU.ZIP. No, I'm not the author, and no, I don't even
get a kickback.

and sound locks up. The problem does not occur at the same place. It may be at
an early screen or it can happen after getting thru 1 level. I am running a
386SX 20mhz ( I know, I have a new one on the shopping list) 4mb ram ,dos 6.22
and QEMM 7.03. I have tried various options, boot disk, with and without
sound,with and without QEMM. Also using a single speed CD drive
Thanks

There's a 10 CD collection of programs, some including Stellar 7, and
King's Quest V, one of the CD's is Doom, the first episode, unfortunatelyy, it
won't be out long, iD didn't authorize that to be included... So, they're
going to press charges on the makers of it. That's all it's available on CD.
Doom ][ will be out Oct 10, will offer a CD->Hard Drive setup.

Is this a BBS Ready CD by chance? The Doom Companion that is. Sounds like
a real winner. I've heard the price of 54.99 for Doom ][ here in Michigan,
will you be selling it for that price as well?

You can only have 640k free, but 645,000 bytes, isn't quite 640k, 1k is
equal to 1024 bytes. So, just do a 645,xxx divided by 1024, and that's how
much k memory you have free.

Umm, I think I can solve this, if you both would please excuse me for
butting in, Dave, (the CD publisher), if you send me one complimentary
copy of each title you produce and would like to have reviewed, I would
be MORE than happy to oblige, but you must take the review, however bad
or good it may be, as final. I, of course, would keep my copy as
compensation for my time. I know what some of you may be thinking,
"If he keeps a copy from Dave, then he's obviously on the take!", but
that can be disproved from my reviews, if he sends me a lousy product,
my review will reflect it, and he will have to live with it. If this is
not satisfactory, then his integrity would be in question, would it not?
The above is only half serious, all reviews are subject to difference
of opinion, no matter who makes them. The real question is, are you
the consumer ready to make a purchase based on a review by "whoever"?
The best way to see if something sucks or not is to decide if the
price of the product is worth the risk of buying it. Then you just
find out on your own.

Hello CD-ROMERS,
I've been reading up on 1st person games(i.e. DOOM, DOOM II, Freelancer
2120, etc.) and I was wondering if I get some opinions on which are better
than other. I've played DOOM and know what DOOM II is like, but others I know
nothing of. Here's the list:
Freelancer 2120
Dark Forces
System Shock
Descent
Also, one last favor, does anyone know of companies selling these for good
prices.(I think Darkforces and Descent aren't out yet!)
Many Thanks

Sure there's a lag - takes about 5 seconds to switch disks and yes, it does
tell them to hold and automatically does retries. Since the transfers from
CDROM to disk (copying) are so quick, I've yet to have a complaint in the 1.5
years or so I've had it up.

Yup, I have a total of 14 - with 12 of them being on 2 604Xs and controlled by
the EZROM door. In my opinion, it's THE way to go.

CD-ROM Review: InfoMagic "CICA-Windows"
by John Husvar
jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu
NOTE: This a corrected posting of the review. The initial review had
an error and it was posted before the error was caught.
"Open a Window, somebody!" is one of the first things I thought when
I looked at shareware CDs. InfoMagic has thrown up the sash but it's a
bit of a Good News/ Bad News situation.
First, the Good News:
Many publishers of large collections of shareware, information files,
and the like seem to treat the CD-ROM as just another disc drive. They
collect programs and text files, burn a CD and ship it, leaving users
to treat it as just that, a huge disc with one heck of a pile of
directories and compressed files. Few seem to concern themselves with
the user interface.
The first notable exception I saw was Night Owl's three-way interface
with its straight DOS reader, nice DOS-based GUI, and a Windows GUI
that, while it surely works well enough, presents users with rather
small, black-type-on-grey, windows. I'm sure it's not the only
shareware CD with an attempt at a sharper interface but, until now, it
was the only one I'd seen.
InfoMagic, on the other hand, has opened the window wide. There are a
few problems, none so bad as to make me want to abandon the CD, but
noticeable problems. Most noticeable, though, for an ordinary user
like me, is that everything is readable through a front end that
should become a standard style. It's a Windows interface appropriate
to a Windows shareware CD.
It's big, open, and intuitive to even a slightly experienced Windows
user. It really looks a lot like a Windows Help file and works much
the same way. It probably should since it uses MicroSoft's Multimedia
Viewer according to the "About..." under the Help menu. At startup,
you get a half-screen-sized list of directories. Sliding the mouse
cursor over them, you notice it turn into the familiar Windows hand as
it passes over each directory name. Click and that file list appears
in another half-screen window> . Slide the cursor over the filenames
and the hand invites you to select. A click opens a Windows-style
dialog box with file list boxes for documentation and executable files
and options to View Documentation Files, Run Executables, Install...,
or close the window. If your selection contains text or document files
only, the window shows a Copy files button instead of Run Executable
Files.Both windows at the Directory select and File selection levels
expand to full-screen.
Unusual in itself is that all the files are uncompressed and most
will run directly from the CD; no need to copy, uncompress, install,
and then try in the usual shareware procedure. That's in most cases;
not every program will run that way but most I tried did. This little
trick adds a new dimension to the try-before-you-buy shareware
concept.The trying is easier. Because everything is uncompressed,
InfoMagic CICA Windows comes on two discs.
Now for the Bad News:
The folks at InfoMagic created a custom .DLL file for their new CD.
Unfortunately it doesn't recognize that you have complied when it
tells you to change discs. You can get out of the problem by
addressing the CD-ROM drive via File Manager. After that, everything
works fine again. Chatting with Kim Goldberger and Ken Burger at
InfoMagic, I found there is a patch available by FTP at
boris.infomagic.com. I surmised from that same conversation that
InfoMagic will supply it for those lacking FTP access. I coul> d be
wrong about that so it would be best to call and ask.
Another problem surfaced during my uninhibited play with the CD.
Large, multi-file text collections somehow were listed in the Program
Select window as separate directories for each part. That turned out
to be a glitch in the front-end build program InfoMagic used to build
their listings. It apparently failed to distinguish adequately between
file names within a directory at CICA and separate directories. What
should have happened was one directory (for example, BIBLE20) should
appear with a large number > of files. Instead, it shows as several
separate choices and the dialog boxes show no files in the directory.
The files are all there and can be copied via File Manager but they
don't show up correctly on the selection listing.
And another thing... When you select a program, the options window
doesn't always display all the files associated with your selection.
I'd be happier with a complete listing of all the files that go with a
given selection. As it is, you get some files listed with extensions
of .TXT, .DOC, .WRI, and .EXE but a "Total files in directory" box
with a big 20 or whatever in it. Files with .CRD or some other
extensions don't appear. Especially when I select a program, I can't
help but wonder just what those othe> r 10 or 15 or 17 files are and
what they might do to my WIN.INI or other control files. That's an
occupational hazard of trying shareware, I guess, but I'd like to know
just what's in there before I click Install or Run Executable. I've
spent too many hours de-installing programs and searching for whatever
vile alterations they inflicted on my control and configuration files
to accept another program blindly ever again.
When I selected file BW2-31-2, a Best of Windows Shareware selection
in the MISC directory with a .TXT and a .WRI file, trying to read the
.WRI file locked up Windows Write and it took a CTRL-ALT-DELETE to get
out. Ironically, the .TXT file was a note about how bugs in the .WRI
file had just been fixed. OOPS! That's probably not InfoMagic's fault
but it gave me a chuckle.
Shareware providers would do a great service by including a warning
of impending control file changes upon a user's first starting
installation as well as in the, often ignored, README files. InfoMagic
and their colleagues would do another by including some sort of .INI
file protection on their CDs.
Those small problems don't, in my mind, outweigh this CD's being a
very nice first effort at building a better interface for the genre.
The problems should be cured by the next release and they don't
prevent using the CD or the shareware at all. The small inconvenience
of having to revert to the old way of copying big text files doesn't
really overshadow InfoMagic's improved interface or the convenience of
having all uncompressed files.

CICA Windows CD-ROM
(November 1992 Edition)
Reviewed by Tony Thomas
The new CICA Windows disc is a welcome surprise because it is quite an
improvement over the old version. First of all, one of my complaints
about the last version was that there was a lot of free space on the
disc.
On the new disc, this space is effectively utilized by providing
zipped *and* unzipped versions of each program (in their own
subdirectories). This eliminates the need to copy and unzip programs
to try them--a tedious process in Windows! Also on this disc is a new
Windows NT directory. Although it doesn't contain much (mostly
zip/unzip utilities and the like), it is a nice addition since NT is
only in beta release.
Those who reveled in the infamous CICA "shareware" font library on the
last version will find it to be pared down considerably. It has been
determined that many of the fonts once there were pirated and
converted copies of copyrighted fonts and thus illegally posted.
Two lingering critiques: I wish that the DESKTOP and UTILITIES
directories were divided into subdirectories by category. That would
make finding various types of programs much easier. This disc also
contains the VIEW.EXE program which I feel could be improved upon.
Windows users will find the CICA collection to be an invaluable "must
have" resource.
I give it:

Where does it say that The 11th Hour only will use MPEG-compression technology?
Why would Virgin use something like that, when it isn't implemented on the PC-

If they do, no games will be sold...
It ISN'T TRUE! it's just rumors...

David,
DS> I also depended on reviews for shareware disks - until I found 3
DS> reliably quality series to depend on. Can't talk about reviews of
DS> non-shareware oriented disks, as I don't use them. In my opinion, the
DS> 3 best series (in order of MY preference) are:
DS> 1. Cream Of The Crop
DS> 2. Night Owl
DS> 3. The Pier
I have one of the Night Owl, and The Pier but I have not tried the
Cream of the crop ones..
I am going to try and find one this week through the ads posted here.
I have just begun my cdrom disc collection. (month or so) and I have
only had one problem with fifteen disc's...
The Pier5, which is the first one I have tried of theirs.
This disc game me the worst problems I have encountered up to this
date.
First of all. I liked the file selection it had to offer. It was
filled with files which I really wanted.
The install.exe would not work... It would begin.. The light in the
driver would come on then go off.. come on again, go off...
Then the screen would show an error:
Error in the .exe file.. (it said this)
I went into the disc with the dos commands... dir, cd, etc..
my driver could read all of the directories.. list of files..
I went into the sub-directory which contained the interface program
which install.exe puts onto your hard disk.
I copied those files over on to my hard drive, with dos commands.
I then opened the interface program, and was able to copy about one
tenth the files I attempted to copy. But not without about fifty
failed to read disc remarks.. Abort, Retry, Fail.. etc.
I was able to get about twenty files copied over to my hard drive in
six hours...
None of my other disc's... fifteen of them, had any problems. All
the other interface programs installed perfectly and worked.
I have put six more on my hard drive SINCE I tried Pier5.
I took the disc into where I work and tried to install the interface
program onto three computers there. All of them failed....
I called the Pier folks, using the number on the back of the disc..
They claimed:
"NO one in the history of the Pier Exchange Inc. has ever had any
problem with the install.exe.. It works on all types of computers."
I told them, I did not want the distinction of being the only living
person in the world who has had a problem with their interface
program. I just wanted to get to the files on their disc... So I
could get what I paid for.
I sent them the disc, and told them to see if they could get the files
off. I sent it two weeks ago. And have not heard a word since.
I am too old and my life has enough stress in it already. I would
rather throw the money away I spent on it, then let it add to my daily
stress... :-)

Library of the Future III has a lot of lit, along with classic
history, philosophy, etc. However, it is commercial not
shareware.
One problem I've found with it is inconsistency in the quality of
editing the files. Some are very clean, others contain a lot of
errors.
Project Gutenberg also contains a lot of classic works, and the
editing is pretty clean, but it doesn't add up to the sheer
number of texts in LOF III.

DK> If you DO find a good CD full of MacBinaried files please let me know.
Thanks for the info. My current understanding is that I need a MAC CD that
is stored in ISO or MAC & ISO format for me to read the files. Walnut Creek
is the only company I've seen that does this so far.
They have a few PC & MAC file CD's and I believe 1 CD that is all MAC and PC
readable. Unfortunately, the CD's that look like they will be really good,
are not in ISO format... :(

Hello Steven, this is an International echo an the language is English and not

For your questions we do have some nice CD-rom echo's in the Netherlands:

I will translate this in Dutch for Steven:
Steven, dit is een internationale echo en de voertaal is Engels.

Hey, I called you around 7:30PM on Saturday (your time) but you weren't
around. I left a message for you. Anyway, I sent out a check for $30.
$25 for Rebel Assault and $5 for Priority Shipping and Insurance.
It'll be going from a U.S. address to a U.S. address so it'll be cheap.
I ordered 3 CDs before and shipping was less than $4.00 so that should
be enough. If it's a problem, please send the disk out and I'll write
another check for a couple of dollars more when I get your reply.
Thank you very much...

Hello Everyone!
I am looking for some answers as to why I am having so much trouble with
CDR 101 error. Chinon said it was dust when I had my internal, well I sent it
back 4 times for this CDR 101 error, which the drive would not read any high
directories on the disk. Well Chinon sent me an external 435 for free, and told
me this would slove the problem, well it's back there again for CDR 101 error.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? Could it be another
device causing this with my CD-ROM. Thanks
... Fear is no great respecter of reason.

Oi ALL,......
CD-ROM: problemático, enfadonho, lento e frustante.
por Jim Carlton do The Wall Street Journal.
------------------------
Os negócios de CD-ROM eståo aumentando - e o mesmo acontece com as
queixas dos clientes sobre esse produto.
O número de computadores pessoais equipados com dispositivos de
multimídia deverá dobrar este ano para 12 milhöes. As vendas de discos
de CD-ROM deveråo aumentar mais que o dobro, para US$ 3.7 bilhoes. Mas
muitos compradores eståo frustados e irritados com a complexidade de
instalaçåo do CD-ROM e seus programas, a baixa qualidade de muito
desses produtos e as limitaçöes inerentes do próprio sistema.
" Eu diria que as pessoas nåo eståo satisfeitas com mais de 50% dos
softwares de CD que obtêm", afirma Lee Isgur, diretor-gerente da
Jefferies CO., uma corretora de San Francisco. " No momento, a
qualidade em geral é bastante baixa. muitos desses produtos såo
tediosos".
As frustaçöes dos consumidores enquadram-se em três categorias gerais:
o software nåo é compativel com o computador ou exige memoria do
computador em excesso. O toca-CD-ROm é lento demais, de modo que a
imagem fica trêmula e há muitas paradas longas. E equipar um
computador pessoal nåo integrado à multimídia com leitor de CD e
acessórios de som e vídeo oferece muitos riscos. (Os analistas dizem
que a compatibilidade e os problemas de instalaçåo såo menos comuns em
computadores Macintosh.) Cerca de 40% dos leitores de CD foram
acrescentados a computadores pessoais por meio de um "kit", e nåo
vieram já instalados no equeipamento. Como a maioria dos consumidores
nem consegue regular o relógio nos seus gravadores de videocassete,
desvendar as entranhas de um computador freqüentemente é assustador
demais. A instalaçåo de um "kit" de mutimídia pode exigir, entre
outras coisa, mexer nas chaves, reformatar os discos rígidos e expandir
a memória.
AGRURAS DE UM PIONEIRO
----------------------
Ken Birringer, um engenheiro elétrico de Ypsilanti, Michigan, é uma
espécie de pioneiro de CD-ROM no seu bairro. Ele comprou um computador
pessoal de multimídia da Dell Computer Corp. há um ano para si e seus
filhos, e submeteu a teste software de CD para o newsletter Children
Software Revue, como parte da pesquisa sobre pequenos consumidores por
essa publicaçåo. Como muitos pioneiros, Birringer sofreu mais do que
sua parcela de desventuras. Primeiro, sua máquina Dell chegou sem o
encaixe plastico necessário para inserir os " compact disks". Depois de
fazer três telefonemas à Dell e esperar cinco dias pelo cassete.
Birringer diz que ligou o computador para descobrir que nåo rodava o
seu programa de enciclopédia Encarta da Microsoft Corp. Os técnicos da
Dell lhe disseram que o cartåo interno de vídeo nåo estava tendo
ligaçåo, segundo Birringer, e recomendaram que usasse seu modem para
copiar software especial da Dell para corrigir o problema. Gravar o
programa levou três horas e meia no decorrer de um período de dois
dias. Os gerentes da Dell em Austin nåo responderam aos telefonemas
para solicitar comentários.
Depois que consegui que a máquina funcionasse, Birringer descobriu
que o software nem sempre operava. Ele diz que recentemente tentou
jogar " Return to Zork ", da Activision, quando o som parou e a imagem
da tela começou a se repetir. Birringer teria pedido ajuda à
Activision, de Los Angeles, mas desistiu quando viu que o número do
telefone nåo era a cobrar. Deste modo, ele devolveu o jogo à loja. A
Children's Software Revue, tambem em Ypsilanti, relata que os
consumidores na sua pesquisa de 14 famílias disseram que cerca de um
terço do tempo nåo conseguiam que um programa de multimídia
funcionasse. "Precisava ser como um tostador", diz Warren Buckleiter,
editor do "newsletter". "Você ligae ele funciona". O problema
relacionado com a simplicidade, entretanto, é que a multimidia é uma
tecnologia emergente e as falhas ainda eståo sendo resolvidas. Além
disso, grande parte da tecnologia de multimídia mais avançada está
entrando primeiro no mercado menos sofisticado de consumo, em vez de
passar pelos canais normais de empresa. Quando ele tentou instalar
seu leitor de CD-ROM recentemente, James Benjamin Ehrlich, um médico de
Scarsdale, Nova York, acabou danificando a placa-måe de seu computador.
Ele disse que um técnico da empresa Gateway o orientou por telefone até
que ele provocou sem querer um curto-circuito no equipamento. Ehrlich
consegui recuperar a placa-måe mas ainda nåo ligou o leitor de CD-ROM.
ESFORÇO DE MEMóRIA
------------------
Mesmo que um computador pessoal venha com leitor de CD-ROMinstalado, e
mesmoque este dispositivo funcione direito, alguns programas nåo
funcionamporque exigem memória excessiva. Algunsperitos pode ficar
frustados. Mark Stahlman, um analista do setor de computaçåo em NY, diz
que a versåo de "Best Neighborhood Ever", da Activision, para
computador pessoal reescreveu um arquivo, de modo que seu sistema
operacional Windows nåo funcionou. Ele desativou o programa de CD para
que o seu computador voltasse a funcionar.
Robert A. Kotick, executivo-chefe da Activision, afirma que desconhece
qualquer grande problema com o "Return to Zork" ou o programa "Scarry"
e sugere que pode haver problemas nos computadores pessoais de Stahlman
e Birringer.
A baixa velocidade em CD-ROM é outro grande ponto negativo,
especialmente quando se joga videogame e se lê livro computadorizado.
Arthur J. Berman diz que pagou US$ 295 por um programa denominado
"Physician GenRx" da Denniston Publishing Inc., uma espécie de relaçåo
de dados de medicamentos, só para descobrir que é lento demais para ser
usado por ele durante as consultas médicas. " É mais rápido se eu
usar um livro", garante. Os dirigentes da Denniston concordam que os
programas de CD-ROM freqüentemente såo lentos, mas dizem que há uma
limitaçåo na capacidade e na memória do computador. Com a introduçåo
de microprocessadores de maior capacidade, segundo os analistaas, a
velocidade aumentará. Os dirigentes do setor admitem que a computaçåo
de multimídia permanecerá complexa para as massas até que a nova
tecnologia a simplifique, talvez dentro de cinco anos. Enquanto isso,
existem problemas. Os níveis de devoluçåo eståo aumentando e os
fornecedores de CD podem estar se preparando para uma demanda que nåo
é tåo forte como pensam. Joey Tamer, presidente da S.O.S. Inc., uma
empresa de consultoria baseada em Marina del Rey, California, diz que
ouviu falar da devoluçåo de 20% do "7th Guest", um jogo popular de
mistério fornecido pela Virgin Interactive Entertainment Inc. durante
seus primeiros seis meses no mercado em 1993. Tamer declara que as
devoluçöes de CD-ROM såo tantas que alguns distribuidores de produtos
de pequenas empresas reservam 15 a 20% do dinheiro dos fornecedores
para compensar as devoluçöes. Uma porta-voz da Virgin argumenta que as
devolucoes do "7th Guest" såo muitas só porque um grande número do
jogo foi vendido.
PROGRAMAS INERTES
-----------------
Além disso, os resultados preliminares de uma recente pesquisa da
Dataquest Inc. indicaram que 43% dos 300 consumidores que a empresa
consultou no país nåo manifestaram planos de comprar programas de
CD-ROM, além dos que vieram nos seus equipamentos de multimídia. Na
verdade, os programas embutidos såo responsáveis por uma expressiva
parcela das vendas de CD-ROM. A menos que o setor de computadores adote
medidas rapidamente para superar as frustraçöes, "poderá enfrentar a
insatisfaçåo reprimida dos consumidores e provocar uma reaçåo negativa
no futuro", adverte a analista Janice Maloney do "newsletter"
Technology and Media, de Sao Francisco, CA (USA).

CD-ROM Review: Terry Blount's "Cream of the Crop III"
by John Husvar
jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu
Rating: ***
Category: CD-ROM Shareware Collection
System Requirements: No manual came with this one, but I'll assume 286
or better, Hard Disc, CD-ROM Drive, (of course)
These people have to be stopped, all of them! They're a clear and
present danger! How could it be legal to tempt me so? They're taking
advantage, I tell you, taking advantage of my natural human weaknesses
with their inexpensive software. Tempters and temptresses, every one
of them. What, me take responsibility for my own buying decisions?
Who, me? But, but, that would mean ...ummmm... responsibility!
EEEEWWW!
I've got a long-standing gripe with shareware CDs, they're all
designed specifically to assault and batter my wallet. If I let
myself, I'd buy at least half the programs on them. This one's no
exception, 3100 files and 574,851,037 bytes out of my
finances.(according to dir/s anyway)
Cream of the Crop claims to be a select collection. Whether Terry
Blount tested each program personally, I don't know. I tested a random
pick of 20 and they all worked but I'm hardly expert enough in the
many areas they were supposed to address to know whether they are, in
fact, the best of the best. Even if he did, the selection still would
be Terry's own opinion, I suppose. (Yes, I promptly deleted them after
testing.)
The Shareware concept is still, to me, a great idea. If you keep them,
register them. Otherwise, scrap them from the HD. Joking aside, these
folks deserve paid for their work.
(GOODIE TWO-SHOES mode OFF)
The interface is straightforward, supports mouse selection, and will
either copy or uncompress directly to a specified directory. It
doesn't seem to create a directory if you specify one not already on
the HD. The interface isn't particularly pretty, but it works quickly.
You can type in a letter and it will go to the first entry beginning
with it in the subdirectory. Page down is erratic, sometimes going far
beyond the next "page" of entries. Overall, though, it's quick and
effective. The mouse operation > is nice, needing only a double-click
to select a file for further operations. From there, it's keyboard
operation.
There are so many of these things that evaluating them gets to be an
exercise in hair-splitting. Does the directory structure make sense,
do the programs seem to be useful, does the interface work or look a
little better than the others? Cream of the Crop seems to meet most of
those criteria although nothing I've seen so far meets InfoMagic
CICA/Windows' new interface on the high road, their small problems
notwithstanding.
Bottom Line: It looks good, works well, and has a lot of files. Those
I tested, worked. For my money, it makes a fine addition to this
crowded genre.

Kent State University (Yes, THAT Kent State!)
I come neither to praise nor to bury Caesar, just to talk about him.
(Sorry, Will!)
Taking the role of the prototypical "Mr. Dumb PC-user," I tend to look
at a new (to me at least) CD with a playful, kind of
Wowsers-what-can-I-do-with-THIS-one(!), point of view. That may result
in sometimes being too easy on one CD and too hard on another.
Usually, it results in my playing with the thing for a few hours to a
few weeks and writing up some general thoughts on what features or
glitches jump out at me, whether I could figure out some good use for
it, and what new things (again, to me) it has > that seem to improve
the breed.
Comments and criticisms about this and any of my reviews are welcome.
I want to be fair and I'll be the first to admit I don't know
everything about anything. I'm certainly not so expert that I couldn't
possibly miss something. So fire away. I'll reply, assuming I have
time and I'm not in a snit. (See below)

COREL DRAW 3.0
CD-ROM Edition
Reviewed by Tony Thomas
The CD-ROM is the perfect vehicle for the distribution of huge
software packages that require eons to install and that come with a
tall stack of floppies. It is surprising that so few companies have
taken advantage of its capabilities. To date, only a handful of
packages like Timeworks' Publish It 2.0, OS/2 2.0, Microsoft Works,
Microsoft Word/Bookshelf and Corel Draw have come out in CD-ROM form.
After searching for professional draw package for a while, I decided
to get the new Corel Draw 3.0 on CD-ROM. Its tremendous design power,
ability to run from CD-ROM, and my dwindling hard disk space made it
an obvious choice. Corel Draw is much more than just a draw package,
however. It comes bundled with a licensed version of Z Soft's
Photofinish (sans scanner support) dubbed Corel Photo-Paint (a bitmap
and photo editor), Corel Trace (a tracing package), Corel Chart (a
charting package), Corel Show (a presentation package), Corel Mosiac
(a graphics file manager which also supports Kodak's Photo CD file
conversions), Corel Capture (a screen capture utility), a nice set of
file conversion filters, plus 250 Truetype and ATM fonts (all fonts
are in both formats and each font collection consumes over 10MB of
hard disk space), Corel's proprietary fonts and 14,000+ pieces of clip
art. The package is well integrated and uses OLE and DDE throughout
which also allows you to to link up wit h other Windows applications
supporting those features.
With all that software, it should come as no surprise that Corel takes
over 30+ MB of hard disk space to install, and that is for a minimal
installation. If you have the space available, you may want to opt to
install it on your hard disk for speedier performance. If 30+ MB is
too high a price to pay, you can do what I did - run it directly from
CD-ROM. Sure, you will suffer a performance penalty--when loading
from CD, Corel takes about a minute to boot--but it is bearable since
disc reads after boot up are minimal. Processor speed and cache will
probably effect program performance more than CD-ROM access speed.
You don't get off scott free, however, since Corel installs about 750K
worth of essential files on your hard disk when you choose the CD-ROM
installation option.
The vast resources you gain (font, symbol, clip art, texture and
graphics libraries) are immense when using CD-ROM. For example, all
fonts can reside on your CD-ROM and can be accessed when needed (if
installed in Font Manager) by the Corel suite of applications as well
as any other Windows application. The floppy version of Corel only
contains a fraction of the resources found on CD-ROM even though it is
priced similarly (it does come with a bonus CD-ROM, though).
With the package you get a helpful VHS tutorial video, a hefty manual,
a directory of graphics, symbols and clip art, a small command guide,
a graphics ruler, and a catalog of coupons for other computer art
products.
I only have a few gripes with the Corel Draw package. First of all,
upon installation, the program installs all 250 or so Truetype fonts.
Even though the fonts reside on the CD-ROM and the ______.FOT font
definition files copied to your hard disk are small (about 1.3K each),
this adds considerably to your Windows boot time. My system, which
usually takes 30 seconds to boot into Windows takes 2-3 minutes to
boot with all fonts installed. After installing Corel, I had to go
through the tedious process of uninstalling all the fonts I didn't
need, leaving about 30 of the Corel Truetype fonts plus the Windows
collection on my hard drive. Of course, I still have the option of
adding fonts as needed from CD-ROM by installing them from the Control
Panel on the fly.
Also, I would have liked to see an array of installation options, a la
carte style, allowing you to devote more hard disk space to parts of
the program that you use most often to speed up performance. Finally,
I wish that Corel would have included a set of laminated command cards
and font lists. I made my own by copying the command summary booklet,
reducing it and laminating the xerox copies. It only cost about $4 at
my local supply store to have the entire set laminated.
The Corel Draw 3.0 CD-ROM edition (with a street price of less than
$400) is a supreme bargain considering all the powerful tools you get:
a top shelf draw program, paint program/photo editor, chart program,
presentation program, trace program, screen capture utility and
graphics file manager. To duplicate what is included in this package
would cost double or triple the street price. It is easy to use, well
integrated and will make you look great on paper, even if you have
limited graphics skills. Five Stars *****

Hi Ming,
The model # of the drive is XM-3501. There are reviews in the PC World,
and PC Magazine, this month. It comes with 1 year warranty. I'm kinda
partial to the Toshiba. I tried two other brands of drives. Comparing the
drives, I think the Toshiba is the best built.
As usual whenever I buy something, the price is less, the next week. I
saw it advertised this weekend, for $399.00.:)
Take care,
Rick

Subj: CD-ROM demos Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Hi,
MH>No, I have not heard of a demo cdrom. What is that all about?
Some companies produce a demo CD-ROM and mail it out to advertise
programs that they are selling. Sometimes a group of companies have a
CD-ROM made locally to advertise services, like a multimedia version of
ads in the yellow pages of the phone book. It gives them a longer time
than a television ad, and may be sent to a "target" audience.
Several magazines have CD-ROMs with interviews, pictures, demos of
software and shareware. They give a number to phone for orders or
registration. Some CD-ROMs already have complete programs on them and
there is a number to phone so that you can use the whole program after
making a payment by credit card.
Hawaii is the first state to have a travel CD advertised. It is
available for a shipping and handling charge of $8.95. I can't tell
from the ad if it is from the state or a privately owned visitors
bureau.
MH>I am interested in the Shareware, DOOM add on .wad's and some disc's
MH>about History. I have a few now. I have the US HISTORY which was
I'm cautious about shareware since we bought a 1993 CD with a virus in a
zipped text file.
What year was US HISTORY compiled and does it have pictures like an
encyclopedia? Please tell me about The History of the Old West, too.
We visited Deadwood SD and went to see the graves of Wild Bill and
Calamity Jane. It is hard to sort out the history and the stories that
were told about them.
MH>Until they do me right with it, or at least prove to me their disc is
MH>of quality. I will not purchase anymore of them.
I would not return a disc without trying it on one or two more
computers. Sometimes we find there is a problem with our equipment or
files. Computer CDs are much fussier to handle than music CDs, and many
require more than the minimum 4 MB RAM, 386 computer etc. etc. that is
printed on the package.
Our system works well for most of the CD-ROMs we have tried but we
cannot run some games because we use Stacker. I've met a number of
local people at BBS parties and family history meetings. It would be
tough to try and learn a computer system with just echo mail.

How is the printing speed if you do a Map'n'Go trip of about 100 miles
on the DeskJet? Does the swap file size make any difference or the
amount of RAM? The PaintJet uses very expensive fan-fold paper so I
haven't printed many test maps or tried printing the attraction
locations like the picture on the box. Print manager is usually turned
off.
Which company makes USA Maps? Have you seen any reviews comparing
Street Atlas USA from DeLorme, City Streets for Windows from Marco Polo
and Automap Streets?
Sure wish there was a street map program for Canada. I've never seen a
GPS MapKit except in the picture in the back of the DeLorme atlas.

Just thought I'd drop you a line, in case you haven't taken the CD-Rom

These are not OEM's but are fully NEC made drives (according to Elliot
-sales- at Tiger). They are NEC factory refurbished drives and carry a
full 1 year NEC warranty. The 3Xi (internal) is $249 !! The external,
3Xe is $299 ! Just something to confuse you further. I just ordered an
internal for myself (hey, I'm worth it). :-) You can reach
TigerSoftware at 1-800-238-4437. By the way, you can also pick up the
New Grolier 1994 MM Encyclopedia for $29.95, if you buy a drive from
them. Good luck....... CR

AB> Hey guys. I've heard everyone rant and rave about their new

AB> 3x? Is there something wrong with this CD-ROM?
I use 2 of them on two different systems, they work just fine. I
would probably say that the "price" is what keeps most people
away. The NEC 3x ROM's are still going for over 400 a pop
at most retail computer stores and many mail order outlets. I don't
understand why NEC hasn't droped the prices a bit since you can
get a quad drive for almost the same price. I purchased mine
when they were first introduced about 7+ months ago.
Would I still recomend them, probably not at the current pricing.
Creative Labs has a 3x CD-ROM upgrade that is about $50 less than
the NEC 3x's. In fact a client told me that these ROM's are
manufactured by NEC (with a few cosmetic changes...), I'll have
to check on that information....

Because not all sound cards have a SCSI interface. Then, of course, if you
bought a CD-ROM drive that used a proprietary interface, even if you had a
sound card with a SCSI interface, you couldn't use it.
Also, perhaps some people want a 16 bit SCSI-2 interface because they want
to hang multiple CD-ROM drives or other SCSI devices from it, because it
is faster and more versitle.

-> Could you supply me with a Mitsumi controller card for a FX001D?
Dear David,
I just wanted to let you know that the Mitsumi controller and audio
cable was mailed yesterday, Tuesday Oct 11th, at our local post office.
I sent it first class airmail, and declared it as a gift of $10 value to
minimize the potential for delay in Customs. Our helpful postal worker
estimated the shipping time from 5 to 14 days, depending upon delays.
I have trouble sending you back messages because I'm unfamiliar with
Internet and international messages. That is why I'm responding on-line
to your original message to Wee Yung. I saw your last message to me just
by chance since it was addressed to UUCP. My off-line reader doesn't
seem to want to reply to that message reliably.
Let me know when the package arrives, and how you made out with the
installation. I've had some hard experiences getting my 486DX2
multimedia computer to work well since it was delivered in June. Only
recently, did I fix the last and major problem with the system.
BTW, did you receive my previous message, what does UUCP mean, and why
was it inserted as the addressee in your last message to me?

-> SB-Pro just for Creative Lab's CD-ROMs ??? Thanx. --== Jordan C.
-> Hack ==--
My 486DX2 was delivered in June with a SB Pro & Mitsumi 2X. Had a lot of
problems getting everything to work. To make a long story short, I wound up
replacing the SB Pro with a SB-16 MultiCD which integrated the CD controller
and 16 bit sound on one card. This SB-16 MCD card has an interface connector
for Creative, Mitsumi and Sony.
To answer your question, the SB Pro does not have a built-in controller for the
CD drive. You must also have a Mitsumi controller installed in a slot. You
should have the main 40-pin interface ribbon cable going from the CD drive to
the controller card, and 4-pin audio cable doing the same. The audio cable
gives you a direct feed from the drive to the RCA jacks at the rear of the
controller card. If you ever make any changes, watch out for this 4-pin cable,
because the pin assignments differ from card-to-card. Without the right 4-pin
audio cable connected, you will not be able to listen to music CD's while you
work.
There are two parts to the installation. The hardware and the software. You
should have an installation diskette to install the important files to operate
the CD drive. If you use SETUP.EXE, it will also configure your AUTOEXEC.BAT
and CONFIG.SYS automatically. For the hardware part too, be careful to avoid
using the same interupt (IRQ) more than once in your system, or you will have
boot up problems. Stick with the standard IRQ's for the CD drive and SB card
(defaults).

I just looked at the SB Pro manual again, and the picture says you do have a
40-pin connector on the board. I exchanged my SB Pro card for the SB-16 MCD so
I don't have it to look at. I believe this single connector is only for the
Creative CD drive. As I said in the previous message, the MCD card accomodates
three makes. As I recall, the 4-pin audio connector was marked for a Panasonic
drive.

I received my DAK CD-ROM bundle yesterday and finally got around to
installing it today. I opted for the faster and more expensive ($399)
bundle which includes Microsoft Bookshelf, Family Doctor and Battle
Chess. The external drive is an OEM Sony CDU-6201 (with a BSR brand
logo) with an 380ms seek time and 150K data transfer rate.
I also ordered the Bonus bundle #2 which includes Microsoft Small
Business/Stat Pack, Time Almanac, US History, Magazine Rack and Bible
Library. At $149, an unbeatable deal. I was especially pleased that
it took about 1/2 the promised 5-6 week wait to receive it (they are
heavily back-ordered.)
The installation process is simple: install the software, install the
card and attach the cables and you're in business. The amount of
documentation that came with the bundle is quite impressive--there are
about 13 different booklets (about a 3 inch stack!) that describe
every nuance of the hardware and software. Many sortcuts, examples
and helpful hints are included in the manuals along with fine
tutorials in the DAK tradition.
An equally impressive number of installation disks (including MS/Sony
CD-ROM extensions) and some nice touches like a nice audio CD playing
program and a Windows-like CD-ROM launcher program that can also be
used as a simple DOS Shell as well as 3 pricey CD carriers are also
included.
Drew A. Kaplan (whose initials spell D.A.K.) has done it again! While
the CD-ROM drive is far from cutting edge technologically, it is
especially fast and sturdy (especially compared with drives included
in such low cost bundles) and seems to deal well with graphics and
text retrieval, although I don't know how well it would work for more
demanding multimedia applications. The software bundles are
impressive and useful with very little (if any) "filler". Consdering
the cost of the software alone, it's like getting the drive for free!
All in all, an exceptional bargain that lives up to its hype.

CD-ROM Review
Aris Entertainment's Deep Voyage
by John P. Husvar
jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu
This Aris MediaClips (TM) CD must have been designed to make divers
jealous; it certainly did me. Bonaire, Truk Lagoon, Florida, the kelp
forests off California, AARRGH! I wanna go! What's that, Honey? We
don't have enough bucks? Figures! Well, back to mud-diving in the
potholes of Northeast Ohio. (Sigh!)
But seriously, folks.... As a casual SCUBA diver, and one who wishes,
just wishes, (!) he could travel the world signing himself onto dive
cruises and his wife onto horseback adventures, I found Deep Voyage
mouth-watering, just mouth-watering. Most of those exotic places read
about in dive magazines are here, full-color and realistic enough that
you want to bring a towel. The photographer(s) did a good job here and
underwater photography is not point and shoot.
Do I sound impressed? You bet! I'm not one to be gratuitously harsh
_or_ complimentary but this clip collection is just plain classy all
the way. I'm just going to have to find or make a program to flip
through these Aris pictures for a screen saver or wallpaper flipper.
It would be a nice change from the usual cartoons, flying appliances,
and so on.
And yet, I have somewhat against thee, Aris. I'd like more descriptive
filenames and a few more cross links in the text database. It's not
that one can't find a specific picture with the search program, but
it's a touch inconvenient having to take notes if wishing to go
directly to "that picture of the skulls in Truk Lagoon," for instance.
It's a minor gripe but noticeable nonetheless. If all you remember is
"bones" or Skeleton," you might have to work a bit finding a specific
image. Lazy? Me? Well, yes, and, as I said, it's a minor gripe after
all. Would I defer buying this CD for that? Not a chance!
The text information is adequate and includes enough to be somewhat
educational, even. It's no more exhaustive than you would expect in a
clip collection and you can always slip in the encyclopedia CD or go
to the library for more information. Multimedia producers who _do_
make educational programs would probably appreciate taxonomic names of
the fish, sponge, etc. pictures but the information is sufficient for
captioning an entertainment, popular lecture presentation, or
lower-grade-level educational offering.
This Aris offering is another good'un, clear, sharp pictures, adequate
informational text, and everything works. I'm coming to expect that
from Aris and that's what I, and, I imagine, every CD-ROM buyer,
wants. You want to put it in the drive, log into it, type "setup" or
"install" (or just double-click it) and get on with viewing. Well,
that's about how all the Aris MediaClip(TM) CDs I've tried have
worked, no-brainer installation for a minimal-brainer user. (in my
case) One shouldn't have to be a MAC, Windows, or DOS programmer to
use a product. It's nice to learn one's machine, but most PC users
now-a-days are users, not programmers. After all, who has to be a
metallurgist, blacksmith, and machinist to use a wrench? And who wants
to have to be? When I want to _work_ at using a computer, I'll dial my
UNIX account and play to my heart's content and my psychiatrist's
enrichment.
'Nuff said! SOAPBOX_MODE OFF. Back to the program.
As with all their MediaClips products, Aris addresses the buyer's
probable wish to do more than just view the images. They supply all
100 files in 8-bit 320 X 240 and 640 X 480 BMP and PCX formats, 24-bit
TIFF for use in high-res paint programs, and their audio in both WAV
and VOC formats. They also extend on-the-box permission to reproduce
up to 20% of the images sounds or videos royalty-free in print or
digital publications so long as the artists and Aris Entertainment's
copyright are duly credited.
Anyone wanting higher-resolution copies of pictures, movies, or sounds
can contact Aris Entertainment who will then put them in touch with
the artists so they can negotiate rights, etc.

I recently installed a Sony CDU33A Double Speed CD Rom on my BBS. It seemed
to be working ok for about 2 weeks, now all of a sudden I am getting "Drive E
Not Ready" Abort, Retry, Fail. If I open the door of the CD Rom and remove the
CD, replace the CD and close it again it seems to function once again. Is this
a common occurance for CD Roms? Could it be a defective product that I should
consider exchanging? Its as if it goes into never never land for no reason. I
rebooted my machine thinking maybe the drivers were not loaded (why that would
occur is beyond me), and even still it would not work. I had to take the CD
out and reinsert it before it started working again. This is the only CD I
have in there, its for online files. Any ideas anyone can give me would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The support BBS they have never has answered a question I had 2 weeks ago, and

There are lots of discs with shareware/freeware/PD TrueType fonts, but
their quality varies widely (kerning etc., and many of them don't
contain the accented European characters) and it's often not really
clear whether the fonts are really legal or not.
One that doesn't have a HUGE number of fonts (about 125, but the ones
that ARE there are (apparently) legal and seemingly of very reasonable
quality) is called Font Pro Vol. 1 from Wayzata Technology... in a very
nice and diverse assortment. I bought the disc here in Paris for about
$35 (and in fact am looking for a good price on Font Pro Vol. 2, so if
any dealers here have it, hopefully something like half that price, I'm
interested in hearing from you).

My german softwareman told me: "... there are a lot of problems with

IH>Hya there! A friend of mine got a CD with a collection of programs,
IH>games and demos. He had to setup one game to fit his Sound Blaster,
IH>but unfortunlly, he couldn't save the setup to the CD... He tried
IH>to copy the game to his hard disk, but when he tried to run it from
IH>there, the program stucked up... Why is that, and what do we do?
Files on all (or nearly all) CD-ROMs have the attribute R set, for
<R>ead only. You cannot "write" to a CD, and setting that attribute causes the
system to not even begin to try it. Once the file(s) are on the HDD, simply
reset that attribute. Many CDs have an on-board utility, some more intelligent
than others, which take care of this task for you. Otherwise, the DOS command
would be:
ATTRIB -R filename.ext
It would help you to become more acquainted with the DOS commands. There are
several other hints/kinks of this common type you may find troublesome.

Hi Paul,
Well I'll tell ya... The blob one is I think the hardest one in the
game... I spent quite some time on it... You might be better off just
getting the three clues and letting it solve it for you.... If you
haven't done that already =8-)..... Or else you'll probably be throwing
something at your computer.. (grin)
As far as the lights, I found this by trial and error, (has been a
while since I finished it) I think the lights work in "L" shapes.. As
just chose at random until I got all the way to the top.. If I remember
correctly this is the last puzzle and you can't go back or forward or
get any clues on it.....
Hope this helps some...... Good Luck...

Honestly, unless you HAVE to have a 3x or 4x drive, buy a 2x drive today
(we get the caddyless Sony here for about $120) and upgrade to a 3x or
4x drive more like the end of the year, or sometime next year. The
prices for the 3x or 4x will have come down enough that you'll be able
to buy BOTH drives for less than today's prices for the OMNI alone, and
you can then either keep the 2x drive or sell it to reward you for your
patience. :-)

Disc reviewed: Simtel Sept. 94 (two CD-ROM disc set)

Most shareware CD-ROMs seem to be obsessed with having only the "latest
and greatest" shareware software... treating files as if only their size
and the datestamp on them were worthy of consideration, when selecting
the files for a CD-ROM disc.
Software Vault, for example (although their discs are quite fine...
they are one of a small number of suppliers whose discs I buy
"automatically"), won't consider putting a program on one of their discs
if they've already had it on a previous disc, or if the program has been
already released for "too long", even if not part of one of their
earlier discs. Yes, this produces "timely" discs, but it's not clear it
really gives a typical BBS Sysop what they and their users *really*
want.
And they, like many other shareware disc suppliers, sometimes seem to
just "shovel" megabyte after megabyte of recent shareware onto their
discs without too much concern for whether it's coherent, or useful, or
complete or much else.
The Simtel archive provides a refreshing and worthwhile contrast to this
other kind of shareware disc. The Simtel archive represents a serious,
comprehensive COLLECTION of material that is actively MAINTAINED by
full-time software librarians (indeed, the collection was originally
built and, until recently, maintained by a branch of the US Military, of
all things... your tax dollars at work. :-) ).
Not being primarily concerned about the DATE of their files, they are
able to include files which are the "latest available" of files which
are perhaps several years old but still current, and interesting.
Rather than stuffing the disc full of bulky images and sound files, they
include things like compilers and development systems for interesting
languages (the biggest and most comprehensive collection here I've
_ever_ found), useful utilities, neat collections of nice-to-have
goodies (like Dr. Dobbs' stuff), and the like. Among the interesting
tidbits you'll find in the Simtel collection are: the most complete and
comprehensive collection of programmer's editors I've seen; the best
collection I know of of software that has been published in various
computer magazines (some 14Mb of goodies collected from PC Magazine, for
instance); a surprising 12Mb of stuff for dealing with texts in the
Vietnamese language; 45Mb of versions of the Bible and other religious
texts; 96Mb of stuff relating to Windows; 13Mb of screen utilities;
42Mb of graphics programs; 30Mb of database stuff; 15Mb of disk
utilities and 22Mb of text utilities; tons of stuff related to BBSing,
communications, and the like... and lots, lots more... by my count, a
total on both discs of 12,767 files (ZIPped, mostly) totalling exactly
1,127,707,996 bytes.
The Simtel collection is, if not always the LATEST collection of sheer
megabytes, certainly one of the best basic collections of interesting
and useful stuff that can form the basis of an EXCELLENT BBS download
library. It's hard to imagine _anybody_ who can't browse through this
collection and find at least a number of programs that are useful and
interesting.
Especially for BBSes that have only one or two CD-ROM drives online,
most of the discs that have only "new stuff" on them do not work well as
a good/complete basic collection. Simtel here is extraordinary. And
it's an organized and managed collection, as opposed to just shovelfuls
of random files.
One thing that's a mixed bag on the Simtel discs is that the files are
organized in about 230 different subdirectories... for example,
\disc1\modem, \disc2\xlisp, etc. etc... While this makes it undeniably
easier to browse and find things on the disc (and personally I hate
having to resort to disc-specific search engines, which you often have
to do with discs with obtuse subdirectories like \015, \016, and such)
it does make for a lot of subdirectories to wade your way through.
The disc has more-than-usual attention paid to providing description
files suitable for many different kinds of BBSes, including MAX,
PCBoard, Opus, RBBS, Spitfire, Wildcat, and probably a few others. They
even include the utilities involved for doing the appropriate file
description format conversions!
In short, if you're at all interested in shareware CD-ROMs, this pair of
discs absolutely deserves to be the basis of your collection!

I used SFRom when I ran a Spitfire BBS. SFRom is written by Mike Robinson, who
also wrote EZRom. It is an excellent program and very easy to set up and use.
Well worth the registration fee.

Subj: [cd-rom Review] Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
I'm an avid reader and anyone who has seen my tiny apartment has
remarked that it looks more like a public library than a living space.
Books and magazines are crammed everywhere! One of the reasons I
bought a CD-ROM drive is so that I could (hopefully) thin out my
exploding personal library. Walnut Creek CD-ROM's Desktop Library
does a good job of fulfilling my dream.
The Desktop Library is a collection of electronic books by over a
hundred of the world's best loved authors. Some of the works are the
creation of Project Gutenberg, which is in the process of converting
and distributing many classics in electronic form. Such works as War
and Peace, Alice in Wonderland, Aesop's Fables, Confessions of St.
Augustine, Tale of Two Cities and the complete works of Edgar Conan
Doyle and William Shakespeare are on this disc. Timeless wisdom from
sages like Confucius, Aristotle, Plato, Euripides, Hippocrates and
Epictetus are etched into its aluminum. Religious works like the Holy
Bible, Koran, Book of Mormon and Egyptian Book of the Dead are also
included as well as the summary of the 1990 Census, the 1991 CIA World
Factbook, a complete dictionary , a variety of helpful government
documents and a wealth computer info from Internet. If you would buy
every work on this disc, you would have to pay thousands of dollars,
even in paperback!
All documents are provided in ASCII format so that they can be viewed
in any word processor or viewer. Several viewers and search programs
for a variety of platforms are provided, some of which are public
domain. I especially like the WinSmooth viewer for Windows which
slowly scrolls text at a user definable speed. In addition, all files
are also included in zipped and unzipped form, making them easy to
view or include on a BBS system for downloading. Speaking of BBSs,
you'll find plenty of doors and utilities to get this CD-ROM running
on various systems including Opus, Rover, RBBS, PCB and more.
Comparing Walnut's Creek's Desktop Library to the similarly priced
Greatest Books Collection (which is a subset of the very expensive
Library of the Future) which I also own demonstrates what a great
value the Desktop Library really is. While GBC has some of the same
works, it does not come close to the Desktop Library in scope.
To its credit, though, GBC does have a nice search engine that allows
you to search for words across multiple works, for example. I would
rather have a more exhaustive collection of works than a fancy search
engine, however. Of course, there's always Library of the Future that
lists for almost twenty times the price of the Desktop Library!!
Now, if I could only find a cheap laptop with built in CD-ROM drive to
take to the park.

CD-ROM Review:
Name: Exploring Ancient Architecture
Publisher: Medio Multimedia, Redmond, WA 98052-5515
System Requirements: 386SX or Better (486SX recommended minimum for
best performance;) 2 MB free HD space; VGA or better; CDROM Drive; MS
WIndows 3.1 or later; MS-DOS 3.1 or later. Strongly Recommended: Sound
Card; mouse
Since it's just a little difficult to jump in the "Way-Back Machine"
with Mr. Peabody and wander through those ancient sites where people
began to settle and build things, this is the next best option. It is
getting very close to what I think Multimedia could and should be, a
full-featured, entertaining, and educational presentation. Medio
Multimedia has produced a walk-through of many of those places I had
to struggle through in my early Art History courses.
Through the efforts of Dr. Bruce Meyers, Professor of Architecture at
Ball State University, Muncie Indiana, and Andrew McClary, President
and Animator at Graphic Alchemy Productions, you can visit seven of
the major examples of ancient architecture.
You can walk through Stonehenge, a Dolmen tomb, the Temple of Khons at
Karnak, Memtuhotep's tomb, the Parthenon, the Ecclesiasterion, and the
Basilica of Maxentius in Rome in narrated building tours. Period
overviews allow you to at least glimpse many other sites. This paints
a picture of the general styles and techniques the ancients used for
their versions of public buildings, tombs, churches and, even,
astronomical observatories.
Exploring Ancient Architecture is surprisingly easy to navigate, given
its size and complexity. You can jump around from period to period or
site to site merely by clicking on the appropriate buttons on the
toolbar. Moving through a building is equally easy once you get used
to how the directional buttons work. If you want to amble through a
particular site, use the slider button then the directionals to turn
about and rubberneck a bit. The full-screen option lets you have a
bigger, but somewhat less smoot> h, view.
The narration, by radio announcer Stan Sollars, is clear and pleasing,
avoiding a lecturing tone. It can be a little confusing at first, when
doing a walk-through, to have narration suddenly start and stop.
Narration is keyed to particular locations in each structure and it's
worth waiting a moment to see if it is provided for a particular spot.
That's a very minor glitch.
I can't understand, though, why Dr. Meyers left out Babylonia. I very
much would have liked to have seen the Nebuchadnezzar's Ishtar Gate
and a few ziggurats. the Etruscans, too, are missing and there are no
examples of Republican Roman decoration or of the later Eastern
Empire. Maybe in another version? Clearly, there's only so much space,
even on a CD, but there's so much richness in the ancients' buildings
that Dr. Meyers could easily spend a lifetime just making CDs like
this one. Just imagine a CD-ROM> walk through Hagia Sophia!
Get cracking, Doctor! I definitely want to see more!
This Medio offering is marred, in my opinion, by devoting too much
space to advertising their other CDs, The JFK Assassination, and
Midnight Movie Madness. I'd much rather have seen a more complete
architectural review and read about the other CDs on paper.
Maybe that's praising with faint damnation. It may be that is all the
architectural program Dr. Meyers wanted to do and Medio just used up
the extra space. But my appetite for more of Meyers' work is assuredly
whetted.

John P. Husvar (jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu) Art Historian at-Large,

I come neither to praise nor to bury Caesar, just to talk about him.
(Sorry, Will!)
Taking the role of the prototypical "Mr. Dumb PC-user," I tend to look
at a new (to me at least) CD with a playful, kind of
Wowsers-what-can-I-do-with-THIS-one(!), point of view. That may result
in sometimes being too easy on one CD and too hard on another.
Usually, it results in my playing with the thing for a few hours to a
few weeks and writing up some general thoughts on what features or
glitches jump out at me, whether I could figure out some good use for
it, and what new things (again, to me) it has > that seem to improve
the breed.
Comments and criticisms about this and any of my reviews are welcome.
I want to be fair and I'll be the first to admit I don't know
everything about anything. I'm certainly not so expert that I couldn't
possibly miss something. So fire away. I'll reply, assuming I have
time and I'm not in a snit. (See below)
I even occasionally enjoy warming my hands at an intelligent flame.
(The rude, obnoxious and snotty ones are routed directly to /dev/null,
though.)
Reviews are my opinion only and should not be taken as an inducement
either to purchase or not to purchase any item reviewed.

Sure you can! Maybe they are telling you that you might not have a true

reason you can't add ANY CD-Rom drive to a 386SX! My advice, buy a new

you'll at least be able to get a 486SX.

DM> I've been reading up on 1st person games(i.e. DOOM, DOOM II,
DM> Freelancer 2120, etc.) and I was wondering if I get some opinions on
DM> which are better than other. I've played DOOM and know what DOOM II
DM> is like, but others I know nothing of. Here's the list:
I believe the new Rule of Triad will be very close to the setup which
DOOM uses. I have a shareware file which gives one a slide show look
at it. It looks almost exactly like DOOM. There is a first person
window to look through like DOOM and Wolfenstein3d.
In this one the player has two pistols at the same time. It was only
about twenty still shot photographs to look at but it looks real good.
The .doc file states it will have twenty megs of files. Thirty five
levels with twenty more to add to it.
They are even going to offer an editor for it, to create .wad files.
This may be of interest to you.
There is also Blake Stone and his series. It seems they are in the
first person player perspectic..

I have never had or seen any of the Cream of The Crop Shareware disc's

excellent disc of Shareware.
I had problems with Pier5. I could not get the interface to work and
only one tenth of the files would copy off the disc to my hard drive.
I returned it and have not heard from them yet.. almost three weeks.
I called today and ordered the Cream of the Crop 3 and 4 series..
The 3 was on sale for nine dollars, so I got it also, but I wanted to
try out the latest also. I will let you know how I find it.
DS> Quality seems to fall significantly with other disks I've looked at.
Yes, I know what you mean. I have bought others also.
I have two of the Software Vault series. The Plantium and Ruby. They
are pretty good also.
I am new in this cdrom business. But I find it very exciting and
rewarding. I can sit for hours and pull off little shareware programs
and fool with them. I have found some good ones for myself..
Good hunting... and I will be waiting to read some more of your:

Here is a solution file I wrote up for Dracula Unleashed from VIACOM. This is
my first solution file so forgive me if it is not very well written. I have
listed all the places you need to visit. There are occasions when you will
have to use the PASS TIME feature to advance the clock and I will list them
when needed. Also, before entering certain locations, you will sometimes need
to becarrying the correct item for the correct sequence of events to occur.I
will note those too when you need them.The time I list is the time on the clock
after visiting the current location.For instance, if it says 11:05 am, the time
is 11:05 am *after* visiting thelocation underneath the time.These values are
only applicable to *my* particular solution. There maybe other ways to solve
the game.If you have any questions or notice any problems, let me know. Also,
if you discover any other endings, please let me know.My email address is

For PC system, U may consider Targa Vision Board while it's widely accepted by
Professional video works...
For Mac based system, there is a real-time non-linear video editing system
called 'Media 100'. It utilitized Motion JPEG compression scheme which the
quality is much better than MPEG --- It provides the broadcasting quality
video. The system include a Mac Quadra AV, 4G Fast SCSI HDD and Media 100 video

Subj: Help! Reading CD data fr Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Hello, all. I'm looking for some help...perhaps someone's run into a
similar problem.
I purchased a large hard drive (WD Caviar 1Gb) when I upgraded to a new
system recently with the idea that, if I had performance problems with
running a program from CD, I could simply copy the contents to my hard
drive and run it from there.
For some CD's, this has worked great. Programs where sound was
wavering, or I experienced long waits while the CD was accessed,
improved 1000% from hard drive access.
However, other CD's refuse to work from my local drive. They recognize
that it is not my CD and insist on only running from the CD. My guess
is that their programs are interacting with MSCDEX, and know that the
CD is a different drive. Even if I copy to my large drive and install
from it, the program still refuses to run except from a CD. I've even
tried installing from CD, copying the full CD to a subdirectory,
rebooting without MSCDEX and using SUBST to assign the subdirectory as
my CD's drive letter. In this case, some programs tell me I must have
MSCDEX loaded, or the same message about accessing the CD.
I'm wondering if there's a utility (shareware or otherwise) that can
fool programs into thinking I've got MSCDEX loaded, and will point to a
regular MS-DOS hard drive. I've heard about a utility for help in this
type of situation when the CD is a networked device, but I don't know if
this program would work for my non-networked situation.
If this topic has been discussed before, I apologize. I'm not too good
at accessing the past messages. If this has been addressed, if someone
could just pass along the solution or point me to the proper messages,
I'd be most appreciative.
Thanks for help (in advance)!

We are an authorized dealer for the Oxford English Dictionary (which is
not all that easy, by the way) and also an worldwide mailorder company.
We do offer discounted prices (less than buying direct, anyway) and
low-cost international shipping by UPS, DHL, or Federal Express. We accept
all major credit cards plus many other forms of payment.
We have not contacted EB about reseller sales yet, and I've never heard
of any dealer selling it. You will probably have to go to EB to deal with
that one.
Just contact us at any of the numbers below or by Email.

Volume 2 is now shipping; in my opinion it is even better than volume 1.
We have both in stock and the price is $29 for either one. $5 shipping
for one, $7.50 for both within the US; $10 for one, $15 for both outside
the US.

Spindex is creating an online database of CD-ROMs. It's searchable
using a variety of criteria including platform, keyword, price,
publisher, author, and age of intended audience. A description and
technical specification are available for every title in the database.
JPEG screenshots are also available for many of the titles; a JPEG
viewer is provided for downloading. There is no charge for searching
the database, and developers are encouraged to create records for their
titles online, for which there is also no charge. Spindex is in the
business of selling CD-ROMs, though callers are not required to order,
and publishers are not required to give us resale authority; many of
the titles in the database are NOT available from us. In these cases,
the publisher's address and phone number are provided.
We're very interested in getting feedback on the feature set and user
interface (a RIP GUI is thoroughly implemented and RIPterm is available
for downloading) while the service is still under development. All
those interested please dial in or telnet to us using the information
below. Thanks for your help.

Dear All,
I have a problem with my CD-ROM (or Sound CArd). Recently I bought a SCSI
Cd-Rom with a Pro Audio Jazz which is 'supposed' to be better than the
spectrum, but I have found that the sound is not very 'clear' even though it is
acceptable ie when people pronounce 's' it is a very annoying hiss, making the
speech disturbing in windows. This problem doesn't exist in DOS, but only in
Windows. I am not sure why this is happening. I have tried the Cd :
The Animals, Mavis BEacon Teaches Typing and DISCIS books e.g. dinosaurs.

Sorry to interrupt you, Since TEAC 4X has 600k transfer rate, even if you have
SCSI interface, you only get 600k/sec, right? So IDE is enough for 4X?
Also, I see some notice in Golden shopping center, said that TEAC must
interface with it's own package (With Sound Card), is that right?
But I heard someone said it can be interface with Ultra-Sound, ....
Do you have more advice and information?
Is TEAC 4X a good choice? Can it read all CD formats?

Yes, I want a real-time mpeg encoder for video and audio. I don't know where I
can find MPEG FAQ file. I am very grateful if you can send to me.
The Xing Card I got has no audio input. Instead, I am required to use another
sound card to record audio during video capturing. And it can only capture
video at either 320x240 15fps or 160x120 30 fps mode. It generate seperate
video and sound file. You need a lot of time to form a composite video and
sound stream file. And eventually, the video quality is so poor when you
complete all the above time-consuming work.
I bought it at around US$ 600 including software.
Cheers
Wilson

What's the brand name of the CD-ROM package? I think it maybe your DMA
and IRQ's settings wrong.

Rebel Assault and Megarace are both very good. You can't find

Both Rebel Assault and Megarace are over 400MB (maybe over 500MB)

I had remember that there are two option for install... default or custom.
Try Custom to mark all item to ON.
And, remember not to REBOOT the PC inside OS/2. You should shutdown the

I never had the same problem as yours. My main problem is the failure

As I have very good contacts with overseas manufacturers for all computers

of my contacts and channels to buy your computers peripherals (e.g. MPEG card,
sound card, CDROM, PCVideo card & etc.) at much lower price, which are quite
near to distributor price. This will for sure save you some money.
Interested parties, please leave me mail and what sort of products and price

ridiculous prices, otherwise I will never waste my time to reply your mail.

If you can access InterNet, go x2ftp.oulu.fi, under directory

Are you sure? You'll end up with a wav file occupy several megabytes! Anyway,
just connect your sound card's audio output and mic input channel, run Windows'

It seems not supported by OS/2.

Hello again. I think you must make up your mind first when
choosing this sound card. Its compatibility is a question.
Better consulting some of your friend who are using this
card before go ahead. I am personally using the PAS16 (OEM
with Double Fusionlx package) which is unable to function
under OS/2. If you have tried the OS/2 beta 2.99, you should
know that this "PRO AUDIO MAGIC" is not in the list of
support.
Best luck with you.
Best Rgds. :-)

Hello,
There is no OEM ver of Myst so far. The full version costs only $380 and well
worth the money. I have one but don't want to sell it.
Make sure you have a good soundcard to play Myst, otherwise just ruin your
gameplay or maybe trapped by tricky Piano puzzle.

Well, I recently got a NEC CDR84JD1 refurbished unit for $229 cdn (like
160 US). Well, the first one I brought home.. Well, let's just say
my disk got stuck in there and I had to bring it back to the store and
they had to pry it out. Well, I got a another one later. Seems ok,
but there was just something wrong with it, I just didn't know what.
It just seemed to spin forever whenever a disk was inserted. Say I
don't even use the disk but I just stick it in. Well, it spins the
stupid disk without the light coming on and it just doesn't stop.
AVIs and FLIs seemed ok. But I just didn't feel comfortable with this
drive so I brought it back for a refund. Went to another store and got
meself a new Panasonic bundle by IBM easy options. A great drive. AVIs
and FLIs seemed faster, my disk didn't jam, and whenever I inserted a
disk, it'd scan it for 2 seconds or so and put the DIR contents into
it's own memory, instead of spinning the disk non-stop. Well, I'll just
say that you'll probably be more happier having a NEW unit then a used one.
Remember, there must've been something wrong with it in the first place
to be refurbished. Chances are, that they'll reappear and you'll have
to go through all the hassle. You'll be stuck with a 3x drive that
has a 1 year warranty. Wow, 1 year warranty. It'll probably be in the
shop 3/4 of the year! Better try something like Pleaxtor 4x or TEAC 4x.

I recently installed a Sony CDU33A Double Speed CD Rom on my BBS. It seemed
to be working ok for about 2 weeks, now all of a sudden I am getting "Drive E
Not Ready" Abort, Retry, Fail. If I open the door of the CD Rom and remove
the CD, replace the CD and close it again it seems to function once again. Is
this a common occurance for CD Roms? Could it be a defective product that I
should consider exchanging? Its as if it goes into never never land for no
reason. I rebooted my machine thinking maybe the drivers were not loaded (why
that would occur is beyond me), and even still it would not work. I had to
take the CD out and reinsert it before it started working again. This is the
only CD I have in there, its for online files. Any ideas anyone can give me
would be greatly appreciated.
I also would like to add, I am finding thier technical support VERY lacking.
The support BBS they have never has answered a question I had 2 weeks ago,
and the voice help line is like calling a 12 year old. I am not very
impressed thus far with my selection of going with SONY products.
Thanks in advance.

Your problem can be fixed by resetting your B drive parameter's in CMOS.
All computer's will allow A and B drive references to the single A drive
when they don't have the B drive settings in CMOS. Don't know how you

CAN YOU HELP A FAMILY IN A DESPERATE SITUATION ?????????????
Mr and Mrs Blevins are personal friends of mine and they find
themselves in a very desperate sitution...
As they DO not have a computer, I have agreed to post this message
for them, in an attempt to get some help for these folks...
Mr Blevins is a 40 year old man who has been diagnosed with terminal
lung cancer and has about 6 months to live.. He also has Pulmonary
Fibrosis and emphysema.. His Wife Carol is semi-disabled with
arthritis, tendinitis, Hepatitus B and other medical problems...
Together they have 3 little girls under the age of 9.. The family
has no life insurance on either of the parents, and would not be
able to secure any, due to his terminal condition and Carol's
chronic condition...
The family has enourmous outstanding bills due to Mr Blevins
condition and forced medical retirement.. Also they are in danger
of loosing their home, unless new arrangements can be made in the
next 60 days..
It is Mr Blevins WISH to secure the home for his family before he
passes on and to find reliable transportation for his family..
Mr Blevins has applied for Social Security Disability, but at this
time no decision has been made. It is uncertian if any decision will
be made before he passes on.. The FAMILY has existed for several
months by assistance from their church,friends,neighbors, and a small
amount of assistance from the State of Florida.. Unfortunately all
these sources have done all they can and there is no more help
coming from these sources...
Our wish is to HELP THIS FAMILY, by gaining any financial assistance
we can, to save the home for the CHILDREN and get some sort of
reliable transportation for them to get to DR's appointments and
other necessary medical trips that need to be made....
Any financial contributation of any amount would be welcome and
appreciated very much....
An account has been set up here locally to help the family.. Any
contributions can be sent directly to the bank listed below and
please make your contributations payable to the first line in
the address..
For Deposit to The Account Of Carol Blevins
Account # 384-809257-7
Great Western Bank
1870 Aloma Ave
Winter Park, Florida, 32792
Or ANY Great Western Bank if there is one in your area...
I have also allowed the family to use my P.O.Box if that would be
easier.... That address is as follows...
Carol Blevins
P.O.Box 180803
Casselberry Florida, 32718-0803
I and the Blevins Family thank you for all your help from the
bottoms of our hearts..

I just printed out a map this morning that is about 125 miles. It took

with the idea of turning off the Print Manager to see if that would
speed things up.
One thing that I would recommend is printing TrueType fonts as
graphics, otherwise the letters come out all puffy and bold (almost
hard to read in some areas). I use the fine resolution to make the
details stand out better.

DeLorme does Steet Atlas USA (which is the other program I have, I may

Maps, City Streets, and AutoMap...I prefer the DeLorme versions,
especially the Map 'n Go.
Good luck!

Andy,
I have only dealt with the SCSI CD-ROM drives so here is a question. On the
IDE, does this just plugs into the extra (open connector) on your IDE cable?
How do you configure the drive?
I've got one machine that is IDE & SCSI w/ IDE harddrive & SCSI 2x CD-ROM on
the sound card, then I have another that is SCSI harddrive & Soundblaster w/
Single Spin. I want to shuffle some devices around and have one machine w/ SCSI
devices and the other w/ IDE devices.
Thanks,
Danny Mc?

My own Cd system hasn't arrived yet, so perhaps I don't know enough about the
subject to respond. However, I just ordered a CD ROM as a gift for a friend
and, although he has a sound card, I was told that he would have to have a
controller as well? It was only $19.
Perhaps we aren't talking about the same thing.

Subj: Pioneer 6 Disk changer Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
G'day Robert,
RB> Is a disk changer a bad idea for a 5 line BBS with 2000 users (all
RB> file hunters)?
No, it's not a bad idea. It's an utterly DISASTEROUS idea! I have the 602
(the double-speed version of the 604) on a single line BBS. Whilst my lone
user frolics innocently about the file areas, the changer is required to
swap disks with great frequency, especially during online searches.
RB> The reason I ask is the 5 sec disk spin on the change..... is it
RB> going to be a problem when users try to fight over the CD?
5 seconds is the minimum change time, with 7 seconds being the maximum that
I've ever timed. The potential for conflict is huge, as the changer will
have to face the contention of two (or more) users wanting to
simultaneously download from different CD's.
I see that you use WildCAT! BBS Software. If this system enables you to
store all CD directory information on Hard Disk, a large majority of these
ROM exchanges can be avoided. Unfortunately, Maximus still peeks at each
Drive during a listing or search even though I've told it to look on the
HDD for the filelists. Arrrgh!
If WildCAT is capable of the above, one solution to the remaining problem
of sharing the drive is to copy the desired files off of the CD as each
user selects them for D/L. This leaves the Changer free to present files
instantly for another user. I've seen a few door/utility programs about
that will do this for you.
RB> It'll be on one of 2 file servers on a Lan 6.0 10MIP network...
Pioneer quite rightly laugh at the suggestion that their MiniChangers are
designed for network sharing. They are not...no way on earth!
RB> Also how do the disks set up as devices (drives) am I looking at 1
RB> device with a spin command or is it going to setup as drive E: F: G:
RB> H: I: & J: with the drive access sparking up the change?
Software overhead consists of One SCSI driver (6k) and One Hardware Driver
(9k). You might already have the SCSI driver enabled. The Changer driver
will reference each disk in the magazine as a separate logical drive, say
D: - I:. I am not aware of any alternate drivers to configure it as a
single unit. Network drivers may do this, but the device is not designed
for network use, so they might be hard to come by.
RB> As far as a SCSSI 2 card goes is it worth it for me to buy a 512 - 16meg
RB> cashing VLB card or is an ISA noncash going to cutt the mustard?
Unless you also hang a HardDrive off the controller, hardware cacheing is a
total waste of time for secondary storage as slow as CD-ROMs, even
quad-speed beasties. The only benefit is that you don't have software
cacheing chewing up your main RAM.
RB> Thanks in advance
Send money.

HiYa Harold,
HW> I opened the cover on the DRM-600 and pulled off the Terminator Packs
HW> and flipped the switch on the back of the 602 to turn on termination on
HW> the new drive. When I dir of a Cd on the new drive, It's all corrupted.
Turn the Active Termination DipSwitch on the 602 back to *OFF*!!
Mine acted precisely as rubbishy as this, before disabling that function. I
suspect that since there is not a user option to select the Pioneer as either a
I or II device, use of this Active Termination will "HardCode" the device as
SCSI-II. SCSI-I does not support this option.
Even though I have a SCSI-II controller, the drive would NEVER work properly
with the switch set on. In fact, it would present directory information
perfectly, tricking DOS, the BBS, and myself into believing all was well as
files were copied from the disks. Yet, the contents were always corrupted.
Don't Worry. It seems to work fine without termination, anyway.

Harold, if you find the solution to this problem, please tell me how you
fixed it. I have a DRM1804X pioneer stacker, and I am finding that when I
unpack files or view Gifs, they are all returning CRC errors. I am running it
off a Future Domain controller, with a hard disk connected interally. The ID of
the stacker unit is 2 and my hard disk is ID0 (The card is ID 7). I suspect we
may have the same problem. The other thing is I use DV and Qemm, but the
problem occurs with or without them running.
Good luck

Hi all, hoping someone can help me.
I have a DRM1804X CDrom stacker unit running on my BBS, and I find every file
that is accessed either directly from the CD, or copied/unpacked to the hard
disk is corrupted.
Also, the unit pauses more than it should, and sometimes locks the PC up. I am
using a Future Domain controller (ID7), the unit (ID2) and a hard disk (ID0).
I have tried running the unit on a bare system, under DOS's memmaker and
Qemm/DV and no luck.
Does anyone know how I can fix this problem, as it is very urgent considering
its the major component of the BBS!
Any help would be much appreciated.

Okay.. beside the skeleton is three letters (LUD I think) when you get the

you wear the helmet then enter the caves.. kill the dwarf's by clicking on one
of the moves.. (can't remember them now) and then you get to the guy from The
Wonder Years and threaten him and he leaves.. the vulture pit.. you use the
fairy dust (from the forest) with the piece of rotten meat and throw it in..
they go sleepies and you walk in and get the tailsman.. You use this with the

building then transport back to the lighthouse walk upstairs and grab the rope
and talisman.. now transport back to the building.. if ya need anymore help..

I think I have to agree with you, the puzzles in Myst are far too easy. I also
solved the game in about thirty hours playing time. Once you get the feeling
for the operation of the game the rest is easy. I also have to agree that the
graphics are spectacular, but I didn't buy the game for that. If I want nice
pictures I'll get a photo-CD. I was also very much dissapointed with the books
(the red and blue books). You have to listen through several minutes of
noise if you want to know what they're saying, irritating!

I you finished the game you should know what's mentioned in the letter. Where
did you find the last page (you did find the white page I hope!!).

There is a button on the lower portion of the wall on each landing. I
can't see it on my monitor because it's too dark. Yours is probably the
same. Go down to the door of one of the rooms. Turn around and go back
up till you are one frame below the landing. Press on the lower third
of the side wall of the landing ( the side that is most prominent )
until it opens. On a dark monitor it's a trial and error process.
Sorry.

what do you do with it? Do you enter it in the star room? Help please!?
Does the movement monument and the clock have a relation. I am probably just

Organization: KUB, The Netherlands
Hi,
As a result of the many tips I received on my previous question (about
the 'submarine'), I've managed to get alot further now. Thanks go to
all those that have sent me hints and tips!
Now I'm stuck again 8-( This time I'm on the island where there is
this ship, that is lying 'in' a rock. It is the same island where
the lighthouse and the looking glass are.
I figured out how the three switches (under the umbrella-like thing)
work, but that doesn't get me any further.
I can get a piece of blue and piece of red paper, but I can't find
a way to get back to the first island, so I can put it in the
corresponding book.
I don't know how to get the key in the lighthouse, and I don't know
what to do with the chest at the bottom of the lighthouse.
And what should I do in the under-water room (which you reach
through the ship).
Can you give me a hint (or two?). I don't want to know any solutions,
but I'd like to get a few pushes in the right direction(s).
Is it a problem if I haven't "entered" the book on island two (under
the big wheel, near the ship)?? I have only looked at it, but did
not entered it. Does this mean I can't solve the puzzles at the
island with the lighthouse?? (I hope not!!)
Greetings & hope to hear something soon,
Bjorn.

There's a UHS file for Myst on ftp.gmd.de -- all of the new UHS files go
there. I believe the filename is /if-archive/solutions/uhs/myst.uhs. (I
uploaded the file to CIS and AOL, FWIW).

Zachary,
there is also another page located at the boat dock.
Switch all the marker switches up, then goto the boat dock
and switch this one down. The marker should open and expose
a "white page" before you use this page, however, save your game.
Use this page down in the "fireplace" instead of the other two pages
"red" or "blue". Apparently this is the book Sirrus and Achenar
were warning you to stay away from. check it out.

In order to get the lights on you have to think of the top button as
north and count 13 to the right and that should be the button which
keeps the lights on.

Like every elevator in Channelwood, itis powered by water, but you have to

You could just make a map like any maze puzzle, but the sounds tell
you which way to go. If you went to mechanical age first, you will
even know which sound means which direction before you start.

1) Ignore anyone who tells you to make a map. They are wrong. If you make
a map, you miss the whole point of this puzzle, and are missing out on all
the fun.
2) There is a logical solution to this puzzle that does not involve
exploring every possibility.
3) At *EVERY* junction, there is a totally blatant clue about which way to
go next.
4) Think carefully about the theme of the world you are in. What have you
had to do to get where you are? Given what you have done previously, what
form do you think the clue will take?

there is a telescope at tthe top of the island, whith the lighthouse going,

I am having trouble with Myst. It seems that when I try to trip the power
switch near the rocket and near the generator house (the tower) they
won't stay down. I've been through the library and read the books.
Can someone please send me e-mail to help correct what I may be doing wrong?

There is a piece of paper that has been torn in half. One half is up in the
treehouses, and the other half (I think) is in the mechanical age. Put them
together, and it tells you what to do.
Note that most likely the left side of the page has a typo, and your game
should have come with a little note that said to read the "OFF" as "ON" for
the left half of the page only.

(1) I got in the spaceship and know the correct notes to use, but I am
tone deaf so I can't set them correctly. I've wasted an hour trying to
do this. Any ideas . . .
Just count the keys, and count up the number of "clicks" to move the levers.
(2) I have gotten to the fortress level and found both the read and blue
pages, but have no idea about how to rotate it, what the combiniation
is for that + + + + push button thing, I have taken the elevator up to
the top and looked up seeing some levers but can't figure out what
to do with them, HELP
This was hard to figure out. Go into the elevator. After pressing the down
button, you have a few seconds to walk back out of the elevator.
(3) I don't know what to do in that cabin with the safe. I opened
it and found the matches and lit the fire, but I don't get what is
suppose to happen.
Playing around with the wheel will cause something to happen to the large
tree behind the cabin.
(4) I am in the stone ship age, and can't turn on the lights in that
dark room in the ship.
Look for a secret room somewhere off the stairways that lead to the two
bedrooms. It is almost impossible to see, so I suggest you start clicking
everywhere. Go to one of the bedroom doors, turnaround, and go up one
flight. Then click on the left and right walls.
(5) There are all these little animation sequences like the jumping snake
or the rotating things in the Stoneship age etc that just don't seem to
do anthing. Am I missing something or are those just there for show?
Just for show.

I have the same problem. Many scenes change acceptably fast, but there are
quite a few important one (like the library and imager) which can take up
to 15 seconds (at first I thought it'd hung) to update. A stray mouse click...
Well, you get the picture.
There is a mystmpc.exe file available which gives help on problems people
have running Myst. It specifically states that users of Mitsumi drives
need to upgrade to version 1.01 of Myst. Now if anyone can get through to tech
support and order it for me... Their customer service lines are **always**
busy. I finally got through to the BBS at 3:15am ET (don't ask :-) and left
a message for the sysop. If I hear anything useful about ordering 1.01
(without taking a day off to try and get through to customer service) I will
post it here.

I am getting farther along in MYST, to the stoneship age, fortress age, and
space ship age. But I have NEVER figured out what the chimney in the
library does. I see the 6 by 8 grid that you can program and I see the
book in the library from page 1 to 300 with cominations for it. However
I never have figured which one to use. Maybe I am not supposed to know
at this stage? I didn't see anything in the tower about it, unless I
myst (i.e. missed) something . . .
mail me any clues, but not too much, thanks,

You saw all the endings. Putting 8 in the imager will get you a message
from what's his name? (The father). It would be a useful clue when you
were starting out... but since you're done...

I think I have to agree with you, the puzzles in Myst are far too easy. I also
solved the game in about thirty hours playing time. Once you get the feeling
for the operation of the game the rest is easy. I also have to agree that the
graphics are spectacular, but I didn't buy the game for that. If I want nice
pictures I'll get a photo-CD. I was also very much dissapointed with the books
(the red and blue books). You have to listen through several minutes of
noise if you want to know what they're saying, irritating!

I you finished the game you should know what's mentioned in the letter. Where
did you find the last page (you did find the white page I hope!!).
Good luck,

There is a button on the lower portion of the wall on each landing. I
can't see it on my monitor because it's too dark. Yours is probably the
same. Go down to the door of one of the rooms. Turn around and go back
up till you are one frame below the landing. Press on the lower third
of the side wall of the landing ( the side that is most prominent )
until it opens. On a dark monitor it's a trial and error process.
Sorry.

rotated the tower and everything. I know that the key says 2:40 2,2,1 but,
what do you do with it? Do you enter it in the star room? Help please!?
Does the movement monument and the clock have a relation. I am probably just

Hi,
As a result of the many tips I received on my previous question (about
the 'submarine'), I've managed to get alot further now. Thanks go to
all those that have sent me hints and tips!
Now I'm stuck again 8-( This time I'm on the island where there is
this ship, that is lying 'in' a rock. It is the same island where
the lighthouse and the looking glass are.
I figured out how the three switches (under the umbrella-like thing)
work, but that doesn't get me any further.
I can get a piece of blue and piece of red paper, but I can't find
a way to get back to the first island, so I can put it in the
corresponding book.
I don't know how to get the key in the lighthouse, and I don't know
what to do with the chest at the bottom of the lighthouse.
And what should I do in the under-water room (which you reach
through the ship).
Can you give me a hint (or two?). I don't want to know any solutions,
but I'd like to get a few pushes in the right direction(s).
Is it a problem if I haven't "entered" the book on island two (under
the big wheel, near the ship)?? I have only looked at it, but did
not entered it. Does this mean I can't solve the puzzles at the
island with the lighthouse?? (I hope not!!)
Greetings & hope to hear something soon,
Bjorn.

There's a UHS file for Myst on ftp.gmd.de -- all of the new UHS files go
there. I believe the filename is /if-archive/solutions/uhs/myst.uhs. (I

Zachary,
there is also another page located at the boat dock.
Switch all the marker switches up, then goto the boat dock
and switch this one down. The marker should open and expose
a "white page" before you use this page, however, save your game.
Use this page down in the "fireplace" instead of the other two pages
"red" or "blue". Apparently this is the book Sirrus and Achenar
were warning you to stay away from. check it out.

In order to get the lights on you have to think of the top button as
north and count 13 to the right and that should be the button which
keeps the lights on.

You could just make a map like any maze puzzle, but the sounds tell
you which way to go. If you went to mechanical age first, you will
even know which sound means which direction before you start.

1) Ignore anyone who tells you to make a map. They are wrong. If you make
a map, you miss the whole point of this puzzle, and are missing out on all
the fun.
2) There is a logical solution to this puzzle that does not involve
exploring every possibility.
3) At *EVERY* junction, there is a totally blatant clue about which way to
go next.
4) Think carefully about the theme of the world you are in. What have you
had to do to get where you are? Given what you have done previously, what
form do you think the clue will take?

I am having trouble with Myst. It seems that when I try to trip the power
switch near the rocket and near the generator house (the tower) they
won't stay down. I've been through the library and read the books.
Can someone please send me e-mail to help correct what I may be doing wrong?

There is a piece of paper that has been torn in half. One half is up in the
treehouses, and the other half (I think) is in the mechanical age. Put them
together, and it tells you what to do.
Note that most likely the left side of the page has a typo, and your game
should have come with a little note that said to read the "OFF" as "ON" for
the left half of the page only.

(1) I got in the spaceship and know the correct notes to use, but I am
tone deaf so I can't set them correctly. I've wasted an hour trying to
do this. Any ideas . . .
Just count the keys, and count up the number of "clicks" to move the levers.
(2) I have gotten to the fortress level and found both the read and blue
pages, but have no idea about how to rotate it, what the combiniation
is for that + + + + push button thing, I have taken the elevator up to
the top and looked up seeing some levers but can't figure out what
to do with them, HELP
This was hard to figure out. Go into the elevator. After pressing the down
button, you have a few seconds to walk back out of the elevator.
(3) I don't know what to do in that cabin with the safe. I opened
it and found the matches and lit the fire, but I don't get what is
suppose to happen.
Playing around with the wheel will cause something to happen to the large
tree behind the cabin.
(4) I am in the stone ship age, and can't turn on the lights in that
dark room in the ship.
Look for a secret room somewhere off the stairways that lead to the two
bedrooms. It is almost impossible to see, so I suggest you start clicking
everywhere. Go to one of the bedroom doors, turnaround, and go up one
flight. Then click on the left and right walls.
(5) There are all these little animation sequences like the jumping snake
or the rotating things in the Stoneship age etc that just don't seem to
do anthing. Am I missing something or are those just there for show?
Just for show.

I have the same problem. Many scenes change acceptably fast, but there are
quite a few important one (like the library and imager) which can take up
to 15 seconds (at first I thought it'd hung) to update. A stray mouse click...
Well, you get the picture.
There is a mystmpc.exe file available which gives help on problems people
have running Myst. It specifically states that users of Mitsumi drives
need to upgrade to version 1.01 of Myst. Now if anyone can get through to tech
support and order it for me... Their customer service lines are **always**
busy. I finally got through to the BBS at 3:15am ET (don't ask :-) and left
a message for the sysop. If I hear anything useful about ordering 1.01
(without taking a day off to try and get through to customer service) I will
post it here.

I am getting farther along in MYST, to the stoneship age, fortress age, and

library does. I see the 6 by 8 grid that you can program and I see the
book in the library from page 1 to 300 with cominations for it. However
I never have figured which one to use. Maybe I am not supposed to know
at this stage? I didn't see anything in the tower about it, unless I
myst (i.e. missed) something . . .

ExpressPost shipping, via Canada Post, is about 2-3 days from here
to you. If you wanted an order sent FedEx overnight that would be
fine with me, but the cost is about $18-20 CDN. A little expensive
for a $30-40 cd title.
However, I just want to point out that the order you refer to above
was not mine, as I don't ship overnight orders on cd titles.
Regarding your concern about being ripped, it can be shipped COD
with no risk to you.

I've got one 8 bit and one 16 bit Mitsumi controller for sale. $10.00
each plus shipping. If you are interested, drop a message to the SysOp

I'll even throw in a disk with the newest Mitsumi drivers I've got

Thanks, but no thanks. I've heard plenty about the OEM drives. Example:
the Nec 510 is one to avoid as the optics are NEC but the rest is
garbage. Get full NEC product with a CDR500 3Xi Multispin, you'll get no
support from NEC if you own the OEM NEC CDR510. Call Elliot at NEC tech
support, he'll tell you some great stuff about OEM's. 1-800-NEC-INFO

I never had a music CD player until I got a CD-ROM drive for my computer.
Played music CDs on it for a while, then started looking around. I found
a Teac CD Changer with 5 slots for $129.95 at Sams Club, a membership
warehouse. It used to be Pace, and before that Price Savers. Just like
Costco and a lot of others.
The sound quality out of this unit is 10X better than my computer drive.
I don't know why I waited so long.
Anyone looking to play music should really consider getting a music CD
player.

Sony's tend to do this. They are flakey in the fact that the disc has to be in
the right place or the head can't read the disk. I don't know why. My Philips
and Mitsumi's work flawlessly.

Subj: How to hook up a CD-ROM drive Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
I need some advice. I got a real good deal on a NEC 3xp portable
CD-ROM drive. I've got the CD-ROM
plus an EPP (Enhanced parellel port) to SCSI port adapter.
The whole thing works, but I keep thinking that I could speed the
whole thing up considerably by:
1) Buying an EPP port (this is harder than it sounds, because an EPP
port card is not common). Would there be any problems running Windows
with this?
2) Installing a SCSI card in my computer. This sounds costly and I'm
already short on IRQs (although I may have one or two high IRQs still
available).
3) Not doing anything at all. After all, the only purpose I use a
CD-ROM in my office is for text retrieval. Is speeding up the
throughput really going to make my searches faster?
Any input would be appreciated.

solved the problem by getting updated drivers for my sound board (a
Sound Blaster Pro at the time). Perhaps that would help in your case
also since changing video boards had no effect. It's worth a try because
the Journeyman Project is a great game!

Take into account that one K equals 1024 and you'll get there. <g>

Hello Mr/Mrs Moderator,
Can you please fill me in on what the rules are in this area. As I am
moderating the CDROM area for Belgium (that's that small European country with
Brussels as its capital), I would like to know what is tolerated in this area,
so that I am able to fine tune it.
Hasta la modem,
Yves

DM>Hello CD-ROMERS,
DM> I've been reading up on 1st person games(i.e. DOOM, DOOM II, Freelan
DM>2120, etc.) and I was wondering if I get some opinions on which are better
DM>than other. I've played DOOM and know what DOOM II is like, but others I
DM>know
DM>nothing of. Here's the list:
DM> Freelancer 2120
DM> Dark Forces
DM> System Shock
DM> Descent
System shock, well, is about the best game I've heard of...

Has anyone playes Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. I am on the fist
path. I am at the point with Arnold, but I can't fight him, because he is to
strong. If you go back down the path, I found the elevator by knocking off the
statue. How do I open up the gate. There is a pulley on the other side, but I
can't reach it. Can someone give me some pointers.
